Hello, hunters! Since the shocking release of MHW, we have experienced countless exciting hunting moments together. At this moment, we are extremely excited to announce that the game’s first major free update will be officially launched on April 3 PT! This update not only brings the return of three iconic monsters and a new social space but also kicks off a series of activities throughout the spring.

Now, let’s take a close look at the core content of this update.

New Monsters

In this update, hunters will face three completely new monsters: Mizutsune, Zoh Shia, and Rey Dau.

Mizutsune

The first to appear is Mizutsune, an elegant predator from Monster Hunter Generations.

This Lv.21 unlocked Fanged Wyvern perfectly inherits its iconic bubble attack system. Still, the developer specially reminds: the new version of Bubbleblight will have a movement speed reduction effect, and continuous contact will trigger the ultimate debuff of Hydro-Lock. It is recommended to carry Waterproof Mantle and Deodorant for targeted preparation.

Zoh Shia

When we cross over to the Lv.50 realm, Zoh Shia will return to the battlefield as Eclipse Variant. This mysterious Elder Dragon, who once left a glimpse in the main storyline, has now returned again. It is worth noting that its unique Dragonvein Resonance mechanism will periodically change the battlefield terrain. It is recommended to use Crystalized Dragonvein in the environment to counter it.

Rey Dau

As the ultimate challenge of this update, Arch-Tempered Rey Dau will appear through Event Quest on April 30. This Lv.50+ limited-time Brute Wyvern perfectly interprets the concept of tempering. Therefore, the hunters will inevitably face a tough battle.

Besides, the development team particularly emphasized that this monster will adopt a dynamic difficulty system, and the complexity of its attack mode will increase exponentially with each additional hunter in the team. However, players don’t have to worry too much about the strength of monsters. As long as they make good use of the additional effects and temporary gains provided by Monster Hunter Wilds Items, nothing can defeat you!

Grand Hub

After reaching HR16, hunters will unlock Grand Hub, a place that contains thousands of years of Suja civilization. This is a new social space where hunters can interact, communicate and enjoy fun activities unique to this new place. Grand Hub perfectly reflects the delicate balance between the sacred and the secular in Monster Hunter worldview.

Here are some updated events you can participate in:

1. Push the limits of the physics engine in Barrel Bowling mini-game and win useful items and pendants by throwing Blast Barrels accurately.
2. Felynes are ready to cook delicious meals for you in Grand Hub. In addition, you can hang out and communicate with other hunters at the table in Grand Hub.
3. Participate in Diva’s Hymn event that is randomly triggered every night to collect Echoing Scale in exchange for rare decorations.
4. Adjust team configurations in real time with new Squad Management Counter, which has been permanently moved here from Windward Plains Base Camp.

Seasonal Events

Harmony Festival: Blossomdance, which launches on April 22, will completely transform the visual ecology of Grand Hub. The falling Sakura Petals are not only decorations but also randomly generate temporary buff areas - standing in Petal Vortex can temporarily obtain Stamina Recovery Boost.

During the event, you can get the following by completing limited Bounties:

• Blossom Knight Armor Set - comes with Pollen Guard skill
• Sakura Slash Gesture - a photo action with falling effects
• Portable Onsen - a deployable recovery camp decoration

Others

Beyond this, we don’t have any other details. But we know that other major updates are coming. At the end of May, the game will be linked to another series of games from Capcom. The studio also revealed that other additional features will be launched with the same idea, but as for what these are, we don’t know yet.

Some players have dug deep into some clues, and they all seem to point to the possibility of a tie-in with Titanfall series. If the speculation is true, we may witness an epic collaboration between Hunter and Titan, and even get iconic Smart Pistol appearance weapon.

In addition, there may be more exciting content coming this summer. Officials have hinted that a highly anticipated monster will be revealed to everyone, and it is likely to be the iconic Lagiacrus, the protagonist of Monster Hunter 3. Combined with the recent optimization and debugging of Lagiacrus skeletal system, this return feast is already obvious.

In short, MH Wilds has prepared one surprise after another for everyone. Now, it’s time to sharpen your weapons and be fully prepared to write your own legendary chapter in this game!

We all know that Path of Exile 2 has more than 578,000 paying players, but the first patch did not meet expectations. Their next major content patch 0.20 Dawn of the Hunt will finally be released on April 4. However, the tower problem has always existed, and the developers are also very troubled to solve this problem.

So will this problem be solved in the newly released Dawn of the Hunt? Let’s explore it together.

Tower maps can help players expand the battlefield, see more maps within the visible range, and enhance the surrounding maps, but the number of enhancements depends on the number of maps specified on the slate. Once activated, the selected map will be a random map near the tower that has not completed the task, but the problem is that there are few monsters in the tower, which means that the rewards are very small and it is impossible to get more POE 2 Currency.

So what is the correct way to use it? Since the map around the tower is also random, it is necessary to use all the garbage maps and layouts around the tower, and then run the tower, so that the map that the player really wants to run can be enhanced. But this method is still very troublesome and still requires the developer to change the relevant mechanism.

According to the news released by the developer, they implemented four new tower map layouts and redesigned the layout of Lost Tower. They believe that the layout is the key, not the tower system itself. Now the operation of the tower is more diverse, but it is still an interruption of the game and there is no obvious difference from before the revision. Because although the precursor slabs in the tower can now be used to enhance the tower, it cannot change the scarcity of monsters in the tower, resulting in players not investing in them.

So how can the developer solve these problems? The more obvious solution is to completely remove the tower map, which can completely solve the problem, but the disadvantage of this solution is that it directly kills some players who like the tower map. Another solution is to keep the tower map, but give players more autonomy, allowing players to choose to complete any map within the radius of the tower, rather than the random map automatically generated by the system.

However, I personally do not agree to completely remove the tower, because existence is reasonable. The reason why the tower map can cause widespread discussion instead of blindly scolding means that many players still have a lot of expectations for the design of the tower map, and they also want to get the rich rewards after completing the tower map. Therefore, we cannot completely erase the love of these players, but sincerely hope that the developers can pay attention to the wishes of these players. Only in this way can we satisfy the players and make the game colorful.

To celebrate the upcoming release of A Minecraft Movie, which was filmed in New Zealand, New Zealand has teamed up with Warner Bros. and Mojang Studios of Sweden to create the world’s first New Zealand-themed module for the game “Minecraft”, inviting players to explore the beautiful land of New Zealand in the game.

Players will embark on a wonderful exploration journey in this New Zealand-themed module and experience a series of real-world activities. They can paddle a traditional Maori canoe waka across the bay of Abel Tasman National Park, go deep into Waitomo Glowworm Caves, and see countless glowworms create dazzling and charming scenes in the caves. Or they can look up at Milky Way under the starry sky of Tekapo and experience the magnificent scenery of New Zealand. Although this is a virtual adventure in the game, players can turn this virtual journey into a real dream journey by booking the same route and experience in Minecraft.

The game features six iconic destinations and experiences in New Zealand, namely Waitomo Glowworm Caves in Waikato, Rotorua in Bay of Plenty, Kapiti Island in Wellington, Abel Tasman National Park in Nelson Tasman, Lake Tekapo in Mackenzie, and Doubtful Sound in Fiordland.

Minecraft is the world’s best-selling video game, with global sales exceeding 300 million copies due to its wide appeal. Through this partnership, Tourism New Zealand can reach 70% of its core target audience in its major markets, who are the active players of Minecraft, making the game an important channel for Tourism New Zealand’s global promotion.

Tourism New Zealand CEO René de Monchy hopes that this innovative partnership will turn virtual game experiences into real travel inspiration, inspiring players to travel to New Zealand and experience its unique charm. Mr. De Munch said: “This is an invitation to players around the world to come to New Zealand and experience the infinite fun of this land. Through the game, we hope to provide players with an immersive experience and let them appreciate the wonderful things about New Zealand.”

This game module will be launched simultaneously with A Minecraft Movie co-produced by Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures. The movie stars Jason Momoa and Jack Black and was filmed entirely in New Zealand.

Torfi Frans Ólafsson is the senior creative director of original content and entertainment for Minecraft, and the producer of A Minecraft Movie. He is full of enthusiasm for this cooperation. He said: “Filming A Minecraft Movie in New Zealand is an unforgettable experience. During the cooperation, the talent and creativity shown by the local New Zealand team perfectly interpret the values cherished by A Minecraft Movie: positivity, creativity and curiosity.”

“During the filming, we made full use of our free time to explore the magnificent scenery of New Zealand in depth. We took countless day trips around Auckland, and many people also went to South Island for a more in-depth exploration. When the filming ended, we felt very reluctant because there were still many places to explore. But like many team members, I have already started planning my next trip to New Zealand as a tourist.” Olafsson added, “New Zealand has many unique experiences that cannot be offered anywhere else in the world. We are very much looking forward to letting players appreciate the charm of this land through this New Zealand mod.”

Black Myth Wukong, developed by a Chinese company, Game Science, met us in 2024. This game is deeply loved by players for its novel subject matter and game mechanics, as well as beautiful visual effects. It can be said to have injected vitality into the quiet game industry.

This game is based on the Chinese mythological story Journey to the West, creating a journey of tempering for Destined One. And you face many challenging bosses in the game. Of course, the greater the challenge, the greater the reward. In the game, you will get a lot of Black Myth Wukong Items.

Doubts

In fact, Black Myth Wukong has considerable sales and high scores on Metacritic and Steam. However, some people have raised doubts. They believe that Wukong’s success is entirely due to China’s huge population. Without China’s large population, Wukong would not have achieved such a great success.

Recently, Yang Qi, Wukong’s art director and co-founder of Game Science, inadvertently responded to these doubts. And told us how successful this game would be if the Chinese market was excluded.

Response

Yang Qi said that Wukong attracted about 30 percent of players from countries other than China, which means that the game has sold about 7.5 million copies outside its home country.

You must be surprised, after all, there are some cultural differences between countries, not to mention the degree of familiarity with the culture. Since there is always the possibility that international players are unfamiliar with or do not agree with the cultural content, how did Wukong attract so many international players?

The game developer gave the answer. In fact, international players are not familiar with the cultural background of the game, and do not understand the spatial design and style in the game.

However, because of the consistent logic behind it and the common experience that resonates with it, international players can still identify with the core content.

Yang Qi said a philosophical saying: Familiarity and strangeness form a scale, which conforms to the Doctrine of the Mean in classical Chinese philosophy, representing the core idea that fair dealing is the highest moral standard.

So how can we feel the success of Wukong more intuitively after saying so much? Data is the best form of expression. The game sold about 7.5 million copies outside of its native countries, and at a base price of $60, that’s more than the $70 million budget.

So, that proves those skeptics wrong, and Wukong will still be successful even without counting the Chinese market in the total sales.

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!
