After the earlier meals dialogue we had found that we had a bottleneck on a key ingredient for meals and potions; honey.
Welcome to Enshrouded
However there was an answer to that… or a quest for that, from the farmer. We might unlock the power to make honey on a extra industrial scale if we’d simply go kill anyone and take one thing from them. A really regular fantasy world transaction. We aren’t homicide hobos, we’re within the mafia.
Anyway, it was a quest to be carried out.
Fetch the beehive smoker… and kill the one who had it… not in that order
So after we acquired on Sunday afternoon we acquired ourselves provisioned, went over the objective of the expedition, and talked a couple of new rule for the crew: Don’t shoot explosive arrows within the base.
A bit of wooden putty, slightly sandpaper, it’ll look good as new
That’s along with the earlier rule: Don’t check your new wand on the goats.
Anyway, the plan was to go discover the honey thief, do our factor, get the smoker, and see how a lot time we had from there. If it went fast, the realm was additionally marked “Passage to the Albaneve Summits” shut by. We would discover a little bit of a brand new place.
So off we went… as soon as we discovered the place to start out. The Vukah Sacrifice Hill… to not be confused with the Vukah Problem Hill… wasn’t located in a location that allowed for a simple glide from one of many beforehand found quick journey spires. In the long run we went to our base on the Far Away Fray Tavern, that being the closest level from which to set out strolling.
I could have dumped our extra flightless birds into the courtyard in some unspecified time in the future
The stroll was helped by the truth that I had skilled up two new expertise, one in every of which helps you to use your grapple to drag small, flying mobs to you. That may be a boon for the melee targeted as these orange desert birds fly up out of melee vary and there’s scant you are able to do about it… besides now I can pull them down out of the sky to beat on them. Satisfying.
We made it up and round and throughout the panorama and located the realm the place the massive man lay ready for us. We cleared out the lesser mobs across the area the place the combat would happen, then went at him. I acquired to make use of my second new ability which, for boss mobs, pulls you straight to them. Helpful for bosses with knock-back and doubly so once they don’t had good shut vary harm. Ula took a foul hit through the combat, however we managed to convey him down.
Your honey thieving days are over… till you respawn
He dropped the beehive smoker as anticipated.
Beehive manufacturing unlocked!
We then took our ordinary display shot with our focused boss.
On the corpse of the thief
Oddly, his corpse wasn’t simply empty area you can stroll by means of. It nonetheless had collision, so we might stand atop of it.
That each one ended fairly rapidly, leaving us loads of time to get into additional hassle. We went again out the best way we got here in and turned north in direction of the spot on the map that appeared to be the place the street intersected with the legend “Passage to the Albaneve Summits” solely to discover a cave which, as soon as we acquired a little bit of a methods into it, introduced our arrival in that very place.
Passage to the Alaneve Summits in massive letters
The cave was occupied by the Vukah… although we are inclined to consult with them because the teddy bears… and there was some preventing and a little bit of getting misplaced and at one level we emerged into daylight solely to seek out we had by some means acquired circled and had walked out the identical place we went in.
We ultimately acquired turned in the fitting course and handed into some void places alongside the best way.
Some broad open underground shroud
We wound round a facet path, by means of one other cave, throughout what regarded like a seam between zones on the ground. There was additionally some ice alongside the best way. One thing new, one thing to slide and slide on. However we ultimately emerged into a brand new setting.
The view on arriving within the summits
From there we might see the spire for the realm. And when you can see it, you may get there, proper? We superior slightly additional down the trail and came across a small settlement.
Hail truthful Wickmouth
We determined that it might be a good suggestion to setup a flame altar there. The far facet of the settlement dropped off into shroud and it wasn’t clear what the trail could be to get to spire. All we would have liked was 5 items of stone to place up an altar… and we solely had three on us.
Properly, no downside, simply dig some up.
At which level we discovered that Albaneve Summits is product of granite. So all we dug up was granite, which is a type of stone… as is the limestone I discovered additional again within the cave… however none of that may work. You want starter zone, plain, generic stone and the sport cares not in your excessive falutin stone with its fancy names and prefixes.
I had made all of it the best way again to the Vukah camp earlier than I discovered some stone by digging up the street mattress. Ula and Potshot, wiser than I, ultimately hit on one thing… the tombstones to be precise… hit on them with their picks, such that they coughed up a number of the wanted stone.
They put down the flame altar which enabled me to quick journey again to them as I had taken yet one more mistaken flip within the caves and emerged into one other part of the zone.
Collectively we regarded on the spire and the chasm of shroud beneath us and questioned… how are we going to recover from all of that. However there was a little bit of what I consider as a diving board… or possibly a plank to stroll… pointing in direction of the spire and a tower seen within the center distance. Clearly we had been meant to leap off and glide. So we did.
How arduous might or not it’s to glide there?
We managed to land safely… although that was a close to run factor, there being hazards about… and get to the highest of the tower. From there we had one other plank pointing at one other outcropping sticking up within the shroud. We flew to that, ended up with a boss mob and a shroud root. On defeating that… I chopped the shroud root with 18 seconds left on my shroud timer… one other plank pointed into the thick shroud with nothing on the far facet.
Potshot and Ula trusted to it and glided off, touchdown safely. I climbed round, acquired a bit greater, then tried to be intelligent, glided within the mistaken course, realized my mistake, headed for Potshot and Ula, landed within the pink stuff that ran down my shroud timer to just some seconds and, with my final doable act I double jumped, glided, and died, dropping my corpse onto some land so I may very well be revived.
From there we adopted an extended, winding street that led up the mountain… and solely acquired circled and ran in a circle as soon as… discovering alongside the best way some obsidian and a few coal, each new supplies to us which unlocked some new recipes. We got here up out of the shroud and appeared to be getting nearer to the spire.
The spire appears inside attain now
We ran alongside, then needed to cross a damaged bridge that required some correct leaping, throughout which Ula by accident double jumped, then glided and ended up on an outcropping method down a cliff. She managed to glide and use the uplift ability to work her method again to a degree the place a grapple was out there, at which level she was in a position to rejoin us. And at that time, the spire was earlier than us.
On the spire ultimately
As with previous spires, this one had its share of puzzles to resolve, although solely two ranges of puzzles… although the second was a doozy and took us some time to determine.
We made it to the highest and unlocked the spire as a quick journey level, having taken this route from our flame shrine to the spire.
Form of estimated… the inexperienced arrow was my unhealthy selection
From the spire prime we stepped out to a balcony to see the view and instantly acquired hit with the chilly penalty that hits you above a given altitude. Like Valheim, you want some particular gear to get by up there… and like Valheim, till you may craft the armor you could have one thing like a potion, unlocked for us with the invention of coal.
The pocket heater recipe
The armor goes to require the taming of yaks and fuzzy goats, each residents of the zone, so we will harvest wool and make the items.
Round again of the spire we noticed a door. Solely having the ability to lay out two puzzle ranges for us within the spire, they added one behind, which we went in and looted… although not with out value.
Potshot down, having been rolled over
I believe that sealed it, all of us died at the very least as soon as on the journey.
After that it was again to base to take a look at the newly unlocked recipes and to arrange a beehive to start out producing honey.
Subsequent on our listing I assume is to tame some extra home animals. However first I have to patch up that gap within the barn. I hope now we have that sort of block out there.
[This all took place before the big patch last week. Some accounting for that will be forthcoming.]
