Recently, CoD: Black Ops 6 has been loved by everyone because of Tomb Directed Mode in the second season reload. It continues the puzzles in Black Ops 6 and gives appropriate guidance. Although the puzzles are broken down into tasks, the difficulty of completing these tasks can still frustrate you.

How to enter the tomb is an enormous challenge. What is the secret to successfully entering? It requires you to shoot the runes on the outer gate. Before that, you need to make other preparations. You can spend a lot of time training in CoD: Black Ops 6 Bot Lobbies to improve your skills and the proficiency of your weapons and equipment.If you enter the game blindly, you will encounter many difficulties.

Three Unique Floating Rocks

First, you need to enter Dark Aether Nexus. After entering this area, find three unique floating rocks in the air near the center, each with a glowing purple rune. After confirming the location, use Staff of Ice to shoot each glowing purple rune. The sign of success is that those unique rocks keep falling.

Four Doors In The East, West, South And North

Then it is very important to know where the closed doors in Dark Aether Nexus lead to if you play The Tomb on normal difficulty, because players playing Directed Mode are different, and players on normal difficulty need to determine the location themselves.

The destination corresponding to the closing of North Gate is Dig Site, the destination corresponding to the closing of East Gate is Shrine of Hierophants, the destination corresponding to the closing of South Gate is Subterranean Temple, and the destination corresponding to the closing of West Gate is Ossuary.

Choose The Correct Three Runes

On the other side of the door, you will find eight runes. Only three of them are the correct answers, which are the three runes displayed on the floating stone in Dark Aether, which also tests your memory. You need to use Staff of Ice to shoot the three runes that appear on the door that you think are correct.

If you are lucky, the door will open, and the same rune will be displayed on the ground in front of the door. Another situation is that no runes are displayed on the ground. If you enter the gate at this time, you may be knocked down.

If you can successfully complete these steps, you will be teleported to a floating stone in Dark Aether Nexus after passing through the gate and start a new journey. I hope this guide is helpful to you. Let you pass this challenge more easily.

According to Path of Exile 2 update 0.2.0 content shared by Grinding Gear Games, we can find that there are many new changes in patch 0.2.0, especially the redesign of Lost Towers. But contrary to fans' demands, the developer has always insisted on using it as the main end-game mechanism of POE 2.

Lost Towers Causes Fans' Dissatisfaction

To this day, there are still a large number of fans who believe that one of the reasons for the flawed end of POE 2 is Lost Towers. This tower has many shortcomings, resulting in a very poor gaming experience for players. In particular, the map layout of this tower is very unreasonable, which hinders vision and movement. Players need to spend a lot of time to advance, and the ending they get is very uncomfortable.

Many players said that this tower is a meaningless existence, not only does it require a lot of effort, but the results are not proportional. There is no other playable space except for the repeated layout, so it is better to replace it with a more advanced map. Do players spend a lot of Path Of Exile 2 Currency to get more advanced weapons during the struggle, just to waste time and energy on such a boring layout map?

But the developer said that it is already working on updating it. In the updated game, in order to meet the player's requirements and map consistency, all content can be generated on Tower maps. However, there is a strict premise that players must be familiar with the game cycle before they can activate Towers. The developer believes that this will bring an unprecedented experience to everyone.

Towers And Tablets

In addition to the above-mentioned updates, GGG also stated that in order to bring some new changes to the end-game map drawing, a random generation Tower mechanism will be introduced for POE 2 Atlas. In addition, in order to encourage the strategic use of resources and maximize their effectiveness, this patch update also allows Towers to obtain content from Towers used by tablets within a radius.

Fans Hope That POE 2 Will Have A Better Ending

Although the new content shared by GGG has caused a lot of different voices online, the main point of contention is that they don't want the game to be centered on Lost Towers, but at present, players are still upset with it. Is the result of their interaction with the tower just to run a poorly laid out map? This is really bad!

Some fans have suggested that letting the tower unlock all the surrounding map points and accept multiple tablets may be a good way to solve the problem! In this way, the game can be less boring and they can also be highly relevant to the end.

Although patch 0.2.0 may not be officially updated until late March, it has caused a lot of controversy among players after the update content was released. Developers really need to think carefully. Is it really necessary to have updates that are not supported by players?

When you first set foot on Teyvat continent in Genshin Impact in 2020, you probably didn’t expect that five years later, this continent would expand to such a grand scale after many “updates”, and in order to keep the game fresh, this expansion of the territory should continue.

There are currently 7 regions in the game, and just like the real world, each region has its own unique local customs and geographical characteristics, and all Genshin Impact characters will also have the characteristics of the region they come from. In fact, this is because most new characters always appear with the launch of new regions.

However, nearly five years after the game was released, you will find that for various reasons, the number of characters in the seven regions is not evenly distributed, especially Mondstadt and Liyue, which were obviously released in the game at the same time, but the latter received more map expansions and characters. Based on this, we will introduce you to the specific distribution of the number of characters in each region so that you can plan your Genshin Impact Genesis Crystals in the subsequent banner activities.

Number Of Characters Per Region

According to recent statistics, the current distribution of characters in each region of Genshin Impact is as follows:

• Mondstadt-19-Version 1.5
• Liyue-21-Version 4.4
• Inazuma-17-Version 5.4
• Sumeru-14-Version 3.5
• Fontaine-12-Version 4.8
• Natlan-8-Version 5.3
• Snezhnaya-2-Version 4.6

As one of the earliest regions, Mondstadt fully deserves more characters, but perhaps because the idea of ​​expanding the map for the region has never really been realized, the number of characters has no chance to grow. Although the developers have previously revealed news about Dornman Port, Mondstadt has not received any substantial development plans recently.

Expansion Of The Number Of Characters

Although Mondstadt was born very early, there are still many characters that can play a big role on the battlefield, such as Jean, Bennett, Fischl, and Sucrose. The reason why Liyue has the most characters may be because Lantern Rite in Genshin Impact adds at least one character here every year.

In contrast, the number of characters in Sumeru and Fontaine lags behind Mondstadt, and Natlan, as a new region, has just begun to shape its regional lineup, so it is normal to have a small number. Although the frequent launch of new regions may be the reason why no new Mondstadt characters have been added so far, this situation may change in the near future. At least according to the upcoming character list, Dahlia, the deacon of Church of Favonius, will debut in late spring 2025.

Of course, it would be better if this new Mondstadt character was five-star, but unfortunately Genshin Impact is not expected to launch a new male five-star character until at least version 6.0. But at least you won’t be disappointed with Genshin Impact in terms of gaming experience recently, because version 5.5 will be released on March 26, 2025!

Henry’s experience in Bohemia is indeed addictive, and the various settings in the game that restore the details of the real world are the source of this immersion. But this also means that our Henry cannot withstand several slashes from the enemy like Geralt and still stands firm. Usually, Henry has to reload the game after being slashed three times by bandits or Turkmen.

We often encounter Henry injured in the game, and a healthy Henry can fight the enemy. So how can Henry stay healthy?

1. Sleep

Sleeping can significantly reduce Henry’s hunger value, and can also heal Henry’s injuries and restore physical strength. This is the most effective treatment method.

2. Drugs

This is of course not referring to addictive opioids, nor to the various things Geralt drank before the battle. There is no red recovery potion in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, but fortunately, our Henry knows a little herbal medicine.

Chamomile Brew and Marigold Decoction can both bring powerful recovery effects to Henry.

Chamomile Brew

Chamomile Brew can speed up Henry’s recovery when he is sleeping in a bed. To make Chamomile Brew, you need the following ingredients:

• Base: Wine
• 1x Sage
• 2x Chamomile

You need to add wine as the ingredient to the cauldron, then add Chamomile to the cauldron and boil it thoroughly. Finally, grind up the sage and add it to the cauldron, and you will get a potion.

Marigold Decoction

Marigold Decoction can slowly heal your injuries, and you need the following ingredients:

• Base: Water
• 1x Nettle
• 2x Marigold

You also need to use wine as the solvent for the potion. First add Nettle, then Marigold, and finally you will get a potion.

Note that potions in Kingdom Come 2 also have a shelf life. If you forget them in your backpack, they will lose their effect. Therefore, you should use these potions as soon as possible.

3. Treat Food Poisoning

Henry sometimes gets into a bad situation because of eating spoiled food. If you don’t treat it, Henry will soon fall into a bad situation. Fortunately, we can also treat food poisoning with potions. Digestive Potion is the best potion to restore Henry’s health.

Here’s how to make it:

• Start with a base of water
• Put 2x Thistle in a cauldron and boil for two turns
• Grind 2x Nettle into a cauldron and boil for one turn
• Add 1x Charcoal to the cauldron
• Decant

If making Digestive Potion is too much trouble, you can also buy it from the merchant. You need to prepare about 20 groschen for each bottle of potion:

• Apothecary Emmrich in Troskowitz
• Apothecary in Kuttenberg
• Apothecary in Pschitoky

4. Eat

If you don’t have potions or herbs, eating something can also restore Henry’s health. Most normal foods can do this, but vegetables and fruits are the most effective.

Kalandra’s Touch Ring is one of the most valuable and popular unique rings in Path of Exile 2. It is powerful and can double the effect of another ring worn by player. If the player is already wearing a powerful ring and then puts on Kalandra's Touch Ring, he will become even more powerful and can easily defeat enemies and win, and the game will become much easier.

Ways To Get Kalandra’s Touch Ring

Of course, this unique ring is really difficult for players to obtain. There are only two ways to get Kalandra’s Touch Ring in POE 2. One way to obtain it is by randomly dropping after killing high-level enemies, but the probability of getting Kalandra’s Touch Ring in this way is too small. Maybe you have to kill countless enemies to get it. I bet that after spending a lot of time and energy, you may not even see its shadow.

Another way is to trade with other players. If a player is lucky enough to get an extra Kalandra’s Touch Ring, he will definitely want to sell it. Of course, as a rare item, Kalandra’s Touch Ring must be exchanged for an item of equivalent value. In Currency Exchange, it can be exchanged with other rare items such as Mirror of Kalandra or 600+ Divine Orbs.

Some players also try to get Kalandra’s Touch Ring from Orb of Chance. From a technical perspective, this is not feasible. Kalandra’s Touch Ring is also included in the global drop pool. In a sense, Orb of Chance has a chance to drop Kalandra’s Touch Ring, but Kalandra’s Touch Ring is essentially a ring, and Orb of Chance will not drop items with ring attributes, so it is impossible to get Kalandra’s Touch Ring through Orb of Chance.

Why Is It So Popular?

The function of Kalandra’s Touch Ring is to double the attribute effect of the ring worn on the other side. If the player’s character is wearing a ring that can increase mana by 25, and if he wears a Kalandra’s Touch Ring on the other side, the character’s attribute panel will increase mana by 50.

Although most rings can be worn with Kalandra’s Touch Ring and double its effect. However, there are very few rings that cannot be worn with Kalandra’s Touch Ring. 

One reason is that the other ring will automatically disable the ring slot on the other side, such as Thief’s Torment Ring. Another reason is that there is no modifier to set the ring slot on the other side, which will also make it impossible to wear two rings at the same time. In the end, it is because of various reasons that only one ring can be worn, which makes Kalandra’s Touch Ring unable to work.

However, the effect of Kalandra’s Touch Ring can only be reflected when used in conjunction with other rings, especially when used in conjunction with powerful rings, to double its effect and show higher value. Because of its unique mechanism, it has become one of the most valuable props in the game. 

If a player is lucky enough to get this ring, you can either keep it until you get a ring worthy of using it in conjunction with Kalandra’s Touch Ring, or sell it. As one of the most powerful items, it is also sold at a high price. Since it is a rare drop, its price is also among the highest in the POE 2 market.

Both Baldur’s Gate 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 are RPGs, so many people are curious about what the pros and cons of the two are. Despite being set in two very different time periods and featuring different combat systems, they share something in common, namely the priority given to role-playing elements.

But they also define role-playing slightly differently, with the former relying primarily on character creation and narrative choices, while Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 focuses more on realistic, historically accurate game systems. Below is a detailed comparison of narrative, combat, and exploration. Let's take a look.

1. Narrative

As mentioned earlier, Baldur’s Gate 3 has a richer storyline with many branching paths, and every choice you make will affect the subsequent ending. Your teammates are also a highlight of the game's strong narrative, and their character development and your relationship with them make the narrative more compelling.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's narrative isn't as flexible or expansive as Baldur's Gate 3's, and it seems to be more focused on providing players with a more accurate and realistic gaming environment. Considering the two games have very different game designs behind them, the high narrative of Baldur's Gate 3 will give players a richer interactive experience in comparison.

2. Combat

Undoubtedly, players pay a lot of attention to the combat aspect of RPGs. In this regard, we must admit that Baldur's Gate 3 wins out, and you will have more flexible options in combat, not only can you use a variety of weapons, abilities, items, and spells, but you can also choose your favorite style and strategy in the game.

In comparison, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's weapons and abilities are more limited, and it focuses only on swordplay. In the game, one wrong move can put you in a vicious cycle, resulting in your death or serious injury. It can be said that its degree of freedom of choice is far less than that of Baldur's Gate 3.

3. Exploration

The two maps in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 feel more open, providing players with a wide range of exploration space. Imagine that you can freely travel from one town to another. The various maps in Baldur’s Gate 3 are more linear or structured, and less open. Subjectively speaking, this slightly more closed map design may stimulate players’ desire to explore more, because they have quite a lot of secrets and dynamic activities to experience.

In terms of exploration, both games are equally good, both provide players with rewarding exploration, and you will always encounter interesting and valuable things when you go off the beaten path. So objectively speaking, the two are tied in this aspect.

If you like turn-based fantasy adventures, then Baldur’s Gate 3 is your best choice, but if you prefer an immersive limited-time experience, I think Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 will be your preference.

In summary, both games have their own characteristics, but overall, I think Baldur’s Gate 3 is slightly better than Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.

In Avowed, you can find multiple treasures hidden in various locations according to different treasure maps. For example, Seafarer’s Boots is a treasure that you can only find in the Shatterscarp region. You will get this treasure map through a challenge to you and an old sailor, and he claims that only the most skilled explorers can find this secret treasure.

The old sailor who gave you the treasure map is located east of Thirdborn. You need to go east along the rocky pass leading to the southern ocean. You will find an NPC named Loato who is talking to himself. He is the old sailor you are looking for. In addition to giving you a treasure map, he will also provide you with some supplies and other Avowed Items.

Given that the clues contained in this treasure map are really complicated, this guide will give you a detailed analysis and introduce you to the specific steps to find the treasure to facilitate your exploration.

Clue Analysis

According to this treasure map, this pair of boots, called Seafarer’s Boots, once helped its original owner on a long sea journey, and then the former owner hid it in a secluded place. Although the location of this treasure is indicated by an X on the map, the mysterious original owner did not leave any other information for you.

You will also see an image on this treasure map showing a red river and several trees surrounded by common rock cliffs, but this landscape can be found in many places around Shatterscarp. If you look closely at the leaves of the trees, you will find that each tree has fluffy ends at the end, and the ends of the trunks are glowing red cotton balls, matching the color of the nearby river.

In addition to this, in the distance, you can also see a huge building towering over the rocky cliffs. This building looks like some kind of temple, and parts of it are destroyed and incomplete. These landmarks may narrow down the location of Seafarer’s Boots to a place you are familiar with - Sulfur Mine Basecamp.

Steps

Once you know the exact location is at Sulfur Mine Basecamp, you can head to this area, which is located west of the larger Deadfall Highlands. Once you arrive, you’ll notice that the highlands here have rocky cliffs that look very similar to the ones on the treasure map, and the water here has turned bright red from the sulfur mining, which is exactly the same as the clue image on the map.

Next, you need to head to the jutting river that runs to the eastern border of Mine Basecamp. This long stretch of water is surrounded by the exact same trees you saw on the treasure map, which will help you further confirm the location of Seafarer’s Boots.

You’ll find the end of the river under a small stone bridge, and there will be a very small cave filled with fungi and spider webs. Then to your left you’ll see the head of a corpse sticking out, with the Seafarer’s Boots and some other treasure on top of the corpse.

But please note that before claiming Seafarer’s Boots treasure, you can use weapons such as Molotov cocktails to destroy the large spider webs in the sulfur mines, which will help you reveal the specific locations of other loot in the area.

The above are the current steps and strategies for finding Seafarer’s Boots in Avowed. I hope you can find this treasure more smoothly and easily and use it in your character based on the information in this guide. I wish you a happy game!

In Wuthering Waves 2.1 version released on February 13, the game launched a new battle mode called Fantasies of the Thousand Gateways, which is updated once a week. If you are familiar with this game, you may feel that this mode is actually a bit like a smaller version of the recurring Depths of Illusive Realm event.

Since Fantasies of the Thousand Gateways will provide you with good rewards after being completed, you may want to familiarize yourself with and complete it as soon as possible after entering the 2.1 update, but this mode requires you to read a certain story and progress in the game to unlock it. Based on this, we will introduce you to how to enter and complete it.

Unlocking Method

First, your Union level must reach at least level 30, then you must complete the prologue part of the second chapter of the main quest: Through the Sea Thou Break, and take this opportunity to go to Ragunna City in Rinascita. After everything is completed, a side quest called Fantasies of the Thousand Gateways will appear in your quest log.

This side quest will lead you to find Encore’s Cosmos near Resonance Nexus in Ragunna City and talk to him, after which you will be sent to Thessaleo Fells - the place where Fantasies of the Thousand Gateways begins near Resonance Nexus in this area.

How To Complete It?

First, you need to form a team of three Resonators to enter this mode, just like playing other Wuthering Waves modes. After that, it is recommended that you add Dreamscape Aid effects to your team before you start experiencing this mode. There will be a new Dreamscape Aid resonator rotating in the game every week. Even adding only one effect to your team will increase Illusive points by 150%, which can help you get the weekly rewards in this mode more smoothly.

The main effect of Dreamscape Aid is Lucid Dream, which will provide you with a powerful buff effect. You can automatically activate this effect by filling up Dreamscape energy gauge. The generation of Dreamscape Energy is based on your completion of basic attacks and other weekly conditions.

Once you’ve prepared, you’ll need to progress through 13 memories in Fantasies of the Thousand Gateways, each of which provides Metaphors as currency for resonators and dream fragments. memory 6 and 12 are memory lounges, where you can trade dream fragments for additional Metaphors, and memory 7 and 13 are boss rooms, where you can trade Waveplates for additional rewards after completing challenges here.

Metaphors in this mode are generally more straightforward than those deep in Illusive Realm, with most providing a variety of simple buffs, and Dreamscape Power Metaphors that can modify and enhance Lucid Dream effects.

That’s it for the ideas and notes on completing the weekly Fantasies of the Thousand Gateways mode, so be sure to complete the challenges in time to get the relevant rewards!

As the game of the year of 2022, Elden Ring deserves the title. Players will never forget the experience of exploring this land full of mystery, danger, and violence. Players need to understand what happened in this land while repairing Elden Ring.

As the creator of the background of the game Elden Ring, George RR Martin said in a recent interview that the movie of Elden Ring is likely to be released. He admitted that he was involved in the planning of the film, but the adaptation of the film into a game encountered great obstacles.

As the creator of Soul series, from Demon’s Soul to Dark Soul, from Bloodborne to Sekiro, the background of the game has always been controlled by Hidetaka Miyazaki. Elden Ring is the only time that Hidetaka Miyazaki did not create the story, but invited George RR Martin to create the background of the game. Some players questioned that Martin’s role in the creation of Elden Ring was minimal. Insignificant. They just wanted Martin’s name to make more headlines before the release and attract ordinary players.

But Martin definitely contributed to the background design of the game. The story of Elden Ring often contains incest and great characters, which is exactly the same as the chaotic background of Elden Ring. Even as a player, when I think of the relationship between Radagon, Marika, Godfrey, and Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon, I feel a mess, which is undoubtedly Martin’s handwriting.

But whether this movie can be released is still a question mark. Elden Ring inherits the obscure narrative of Soul series as always. Many players are often confused after playing the game and don’t know what happened. How to convert this type of game into a movie and put it on the big screen is undoubtedly a challenge. Instead of compressing the grand background of Elden Ring into a few hours of movie, it may be a wiser choice to put Bloodborne on the big screen.

On the other hand, Martin is still writing the sixth part, The Winds of Winter. The fifth part, A Dance with Dragons, was published 14 years ago. Martin did not reveal when he would finish the sixth part. But he joked that he might not be able to finish it until the day he died.

As far as Martin’s procrastination is concerned, he probably doesn’t have the energy to adapt Elden Ring. Therefore, the release of Elden Ring is still a long way off. Instead of waiting for the release of Elden Ring movie, it’s better to ask Miyazaki if he has prepared his next work.
