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.
