The mission to kill the Mistfall Hunter Greataxe Berserker is one of your first objectives, but is confused by some differing names and a few mechanics that only come to light once you've started what will be a tricky fight. Even when you know where to go and what to do, it's not going to be easy, so you'll need all the help you can get. Having taken him down myself, here's everything you need to know about where to go and how to survive the Greataxe Berserker.

Where's the location of the Greataxe Berserker in Mistfall Hunter?

The mission to Kill the Greataxe Berserker is one of the first big missions you'll get in Mistfall Hunter, as part of the Tracking the Treasure main task. The enemy appears in the Hallowgrove area initially (likely the only place you can access when you first have the objective).

Confusingly though, the Greataxe Berserker is marked as an Elite Berserker on the map, meaning it's not clear where to go when you first start looking. When you do find the Elite Berserker you'll see he is waving a big axe around, but it's not immediately obvious from the map and titling that the two things are the same.

Mark him on the map and it'll appear like this on screen as this red marker to lead you there:

The Berserker will be in one of the named points of interest on the map and, while I mostly saw him appear in areas like Verdant Grounds or Supreme Hall, he actually appeared in Divine Anchor when I finally fought him. He'll always be inside a structure as some sort as a Protection Barrier around it will activate when you first damage him, sealing you in with him.

When you approach wherever he is, you'll actually see red symbols on any closed doors and a red energy field over any open entrances, showing you where the barrier is. Once you're inside and attack the Berserker, you'll be locked into the fight by this field until one of you is dead - if you try and run away, and go past the barrier his health is reset so you can't just nip off for a break without resetting things.

Greataxe Berserker tips

Killing the Greataxe Berserker is just a tough fight generally, although it'll be tougher if you try and take him on too soon. It'll certainly be a test of whether you've made the right choice about your Mistfall Hunter class whatever level you are. Try and complete other missions and generally gather better loot to tip the balance more in your favour before you take a swing. As well as that I'd recommend these tips:

1. Take the time to scope out the various areas you can fight him in, to see how much space there is and if there are any useful extras like teleports. That way you won't be fighting blind and can make a choice if he appears in a spot you like the look of.
2. Always play defensively and stay mobile. The main danger of the fight is that you do chip damage while the Berserker can kill you in three or four good hits. So keep dogging and don't let him connect.
3. Bring plenty of healing. The Berserker dishes out so much damage that you'll need lots of health and often.
4. Don't be afraid to run away for heals and anything else you want to do. Just don't cross the barrier.
5. You get one do over if you're lucky. Assuming you've not been killed already by a monster and someone else is still fighting you'll be able to resurrect once and this shouldn't reset the fight. Use it tactically as you'll come back at full health.
6. Bring help. Either as a team or get someone to join you in match. That will obviously help you inflict more damage but, more importantly, people can act as distractions to give each other space and time to heal and set up attacks.

Greataxe Berserker rewards

Rewards for defeated the Berserker vary, but will yield a range of Gyldenblod, and high (ish) value construction and forging materials and gear. It seems to be randomised, so while I got the rewards below, you'll get different things of a similar rarity.

• 43 Gyldenblod
• Two unidentified rewards that resolved into a Flawless Runestone epic forging material and a Blessing Sachet legendary construction material
• Agate forging material
• Veteran Armor

Once thing that's worth noting is that this might be a shared a shared pool. I took on the Berserker with random player that joined in the fight and they took some of that prize pool before I could claim it.

Being able to lower the red bridge in Big Walk is essential for progress, as this presents the first roadblock you encounter to stop you moving on from the opening area of the game. To cross the drawbridge you'll need to acquire four of the 'red gourd' reward objects (as I'm calling them) by solving puzzles in the surrounding environment, which will in turn unlock the key needed to drop that bridge.

There are four puzzles you need to solve in order to lower the Big Walk red bridge. If you head down the stairs from the tutorial room and go straight ahead from the corridor to the cliff edge, you can see them in the following locations:

1. Blue house / symbols puzzle
2. Green pillars / switches puzzle
3. Orange platform / telescope puzzle
4. Yellow girders / crane puzzle

Below, I have laid out instructions for how to complete each of these puzzles, along with what to do afterwards to prepare the key and lower the red bridge in Big Walk. To get through these challenges you'll need to use Big Walk crossplay to join at least one friend to work together with, and the nature of the tasks also highlights why Big Walk couch co-op is intentionally excluded to preserve the puzzles as intended.

Big Walk blue house / symbols puzzle solution

There are two sections to the blue house – one that has a display showing five symbols, and the other that has a selection of symbol tiles that can be placed on the wall. One player needs to enter the area on the left and hit the button, which randomizes the five symbols on the display and shuts the door so no one outside can see the code. That player then needs to communicate the five symbols in the correct order to a player on the other side, who can place those tiles on the wall then hit the button beside it to unlock the red gourd.

Big Walk green pillars / switches puzzle solution

There are switches on each of the green pillars corresponding to the number of players (maximum of four), which all need to be pressed at the same time. However, they are far enough away from each other that the proximity voice chat won't carry, so agree a signal for one player to make (say, dropping their raised arm) then use that when everyone is in position to hit the switches simultaneously and unlock the red gourd.

Big Walk orange platform / telescope puzzle solution

The telescope on the orange platform is in a fixed position looking at a locked box containing the red gourd at the opposing end of the area, and holding the button next to it opens the box while highlighting it with a red light. One player needs to stay on the platform with the button ready to open the box when needed, while another walks to the opposite side of the area to collect the red gourd.

Big Walk yellow girders / crane puzzle solution

The set of yellow girders, which looks a bit like a crane, has a button on the underside of the horizontal beam that releases the red gourd. The height of that beam is determined by the number of players the session is set for (to a maximum of four), and to reach it all players need to stand on top of each other (interact with another player to put them on your shoulders) then if anyone in the stack jumps the top player can reach the button to unlock the red gourd – if the player at the bottom jumps, it won't break the stack if the button is missed and you need another attempt.

How to get the key and lower the red bridge

Once you have all four of the red gourds from the puzzles, bring them to the platform with four buttons near the beach. For each, you'll need one player to hold the button while another player places the red gourd in the respective holder – with all four deposited, the key will be released.

Once you have the key, look immediately to the right of the buttons and just outside of the platform you'll see a keyhole on a pillar. Insert the key into this and the first notch will be carved, then an arrow will appear on top of the pillar pointing you to the next keyhole, where you can repeat this process with subsequent pillars until the key is fully cut.

Finally, once the key has been prepared, take it up the red walkway along the cliff and then insert it in the recess next to the red bridge to lower it so you can progress to the next area. Note that the 'Big Walk' trophy or achievement doesn't unlock until you actually cross the drawbridge, so you won't receive it until you reach the other side.

Added for free alongside the paid Bubbly Basin DLC, the Pokopia Portal Pod is an item that players have wanted since the game's launch. This clever storage device lets you retrieve the items inside from any Portal Pod, anywhere in the world.

Now, instead of trapsing between the Withered Wastelands and the Shimmering Skylands, you can place the most important items in the Portal Pod (I'd suggest the most used crafting and building materials), and have easy access wherever you place another Pod in Pokopia. If you need a few of these as much as I think you do, here's how to get them.

How to get the Pokopia Portal Pod

While you can only unlock the Pokopia Portal Pod recipe by increasing your Palette Town environment level, there are other ways of getting Pods, some requiring the Bubbly Basin DLC. Here's every way to get them:

• Increase your Palette Town environment level.
• Pick up two Portals in Bubbly Basin (requires DLC).
• Photograph a Portal Pod in Bubbly Basin (requires DLC) or another player's island and duplicate them at a Pokemon Center 3D printer.

Getting Portal Pods without the DLC

If you have the Bubbly Basin expansion, then read the section below for the simplest method. If not, you can still get the storage pod, it's just requires a bit more effort.

To get a Portal Pod without the Pokopia DLC, you must raise your Palette Town environment level to unlock the Portal Pod recipe. I'm still working on this, and I'll let you know which level unlocks the recipe as soon as I know.

As with all other areas of Pokopia, raising your environment level can be done by inviting new Pokemon to move in and making sure their house is up to scratch. For that and more ways to level up Pokopia environments, see our standalone guide.

If you want a Portal Pod sooner, the only other way to get one without the DLC is by visiting another player's Pokopia Dream Island, snapping a picture with Object Mode, and duplicating the item at a Pokemon Center 3D printer. You may be able to snap a Portal Pod by visiting a Pokopia developer island, and I'll let you now as soon as I've confirmed it's available there.

Getting Portal Pods in Bubbly Basin

Getting access to the Pokopia Portal Pod is easier if you have the paid Bubbly Basin DLC, as two can be found as soon as you access the new area, and you can then use the 3D printing mechanic to make as many as you need.

To get the Portal Pod in Bubbly Basin, simply swim to the house in the far northeast corner of the map, as shown in the image above. Not only is there a Portal Pod inside for you to pick up, but you'll find a second in a Pokeball down the stairs behind where the other Portal Pod is placed.

While this method is easier, it doesn't unlock the recipe, so you'll still need to complete the Palette Town method above for that. However, with this Bubbly Basin Portal Pod, you can use your in-game camera and any Pokemon Center 3D printer to replicate the item as many time as you want.

Couch co-op in Big Walk is something that many players will be anticipating or hopeful for, as this multiplayer cooperative game would arguably lend itself to local co-op by definition. However, while it's possible to get a large group of friends together in Big Walk on multiplayer online servers, I'm sorry to say that couch co-op isn't something you should expect from Big Walk right now, as I'll explain below.

Can you play Big Walk couch co-op with friends?

No, Big Walk does not have local or couch co-op mode, only online multiplayer.

That may change in the future, but there's no actual evidence that it will, and in fact developer House House may not include it for specific reasons concerning player communication.

See, much of Big Walk's gameplay and challenge is centered around in-game audio and proximity chat - the idea that players' ability to communicate diminishes the further away their characters are from each other. That isn't just a fun gimmick, but an essential part of the game to be managed and overcome. Playing local co-op, where you can turn around and talk to your friends at any time, would diminish or compromise that element accordingly. For more details, I definitely recommend you check out the official Big Walk FAQ page, which explains this element of the game further.

Find out more about who you can and can't play with in our guide to enabling Big Walk crossplay! Or if you get stuck in the opening area then we have a puzzle walkthrough to help you lower the red bridge in Big Walk.

The best skills in Beast of Reincarnation will vary depending on your preferred playstyle, but there's some pretty consistently powerful options to pick from for both the characters. Below I'll lay out the best skills to get early on for both Emma and Koo, which will give you a good selection to then build on and specialize as you progress though Beast of Reincarnation.

If you're determined to be as powerful as possible, make sure you check out how to upgrade weapons in Beast of Reincarnation

What are the best skills in Beast of Reincarnation?

Below we've broken down some of the early skills you should get off the skill tree in Beast of Reincarnation, for both Emma and Koo.

• Emma
  • Blade Art: Shakuyaku: With how often you'll use this basic attack, you should upgrade it early and often.
  • Sprout Shakuyaku (Hair): A combination attack, binding effect and grapple point that can be deployed in combat is a versatile option, though has limited impact on some bosses.
  • Tracking Shot: A massive damage and accuracy increase to ranged attacks that makes your ranged weapons much more viable in combat, with tracking, piercing and increased damage.
• Koo
  • Higanbana: Seeds: A simple basic attack that's worth upgrading, as the ability to inflict burning on enemies is very good against stronger enemies and works in most situations.
  • Mod: Swamp Summoner (Incantation): Slowing swamps that impede enemy movement are a good bonus for Koo to be throwing out, buying you time and control.
  • Taunt (Pounce): Koo draws in attacks from nearby enemies. Very useful against boss fights.

Considering that Koo is more of a controlled NPC and therefore skill-dependant than Emma, it's honestly arguably more important to focus on Koo's skillset than Emma's early on, as so long as Emma can parry and dodge, she can make her way through most of the early encounters. Still, you shouldn't neglect Emma - I'm only saying that if you have the skill points for one or the other, it probably doesn't hurt to prioritize Koo in the early phases.

As you defeat Nushi bosses and reach certain story milestones, you'll unlock more skills and powers that can be added to the existing skill trees, such as the Sakura Storm and Javelin, unlocked after the Beast of Reincarnation Rangifer boss fight. Make sure to consider these when progressing, as some are very good - the Javelin power in particular.

There's other ways to get strong - make sure you know how to cook recipes in Beast of Reincarnation!

Rangifer in Beast of Reincarnation is the first major Nushi, powerful Malefect boss fights that, in this case, manifest as an enormous stag/plant hybrid. You'll actually fight Rangifer twice, once in a crater and a second time in its lair, where it's more powerful and has access to a second stage. While it might seem tough at first, there's actually some pretty consistent strategies and weaknesses for you to exploit here, as I'll explain in our guide on how to beat Rangifer in Beast of Reincarnation.

First Rangifer boss fight

The first time you fight Rangifer in Beast of Reincarnation as part of the Prowling Nushi quest, it'll be at level 9, so you'll want to be at least level 6 or 7 for a fighting chance. If it's still proving difficult, find some nearby enemies to fight for the experience and come back when you're ready. Otherwise, here's some essential tips to know:

• Access the camp in the middle. In the centre of the Rangifer's arena is a tall building with a campsite on it, you'll definitely want to unlock that, as well as the armor up there.
• Start the fight with an assassination from above. From the camp, use the Hair bridge to stand above the Rangifer, then jump down to perform an assassination. This can remove a huge chunk of its health straight away.
• Use ranged attacks early. With Rangifer being mostly melee focused, the bow and crossbow are basically free damage if you can put some distance between you and it. Exhaust the ammo of both if you get the chance.
• Rangifer is weak to fire. For that reason, you'll definitely want to use Koo's Higanbana: Seeds skill, a series of fiery projectiles that can build up the burn status effect, and one of the best skills in Beast of Reincarnation.
• Parry the antlers. Rangifer's most common attack is to swing its antlers at you. Despite the huge size, you can absolutely parry this attack, and it's worth doing, as it'll build up Koo's FP for more fire attacks. This attack also leaves the head lowered, which is your moment for easy melee attacks.
• Practice your mobility. Mobility isn't as important in this phase, but it will be in later phases, so it's worth practicing this now, including the ability to create your own grapple points. Much of Rangifer's attacks are based around hitting downwards, so elevation can heavily compromise its ability to hit you.

Pretty much all of these tips apply to your second fight with Rangifer as well, so make sure they're memorised! You'll also want to make sure that you upgrade weapons in Beast of Reincarnation, as this second fight is going to last a lot longer, and the gap between them will give you ample chance to earn the Amber necessary.

Second Rangifer boss fight

The second time you encounter Rangifer is in its sealed lair, having opened it up and leaving it nowhere to run. This is a two-stage boss fight, with Rangifer unlocking new abilities (and a new health bar) when you reduce it to zero health. Keep in mind that Rangifer is now level 12, and I really wouldn't recommend having this fight if you're not at least level 10 or higher, depending on your skill level.

• Rangifer remains weak to fire. Aside from Koo's attacks, you should now also be able to acquire Fire Arrows from Brad back at the Cleanse Walker. However, while still weak to fire, it's more resistant to the Burn status effect than last time.
• Look out for the stomp. If Rangifer rears up and stamps, now it does a small AOE impact with sharp roots rising. Make sure you clear space!
• If it glows red, look out! If Rangifer's body gains a red glow, it's about to do four antler sweeps, followed by a stomp. These are quick, do massive damage and are hard to parry, potentially able to KO Emma from full health. The best thing to do is either have Koo use a binding attack to interrupt it, use any grapple points you've made to escape, or just rapidly evade and dodge away.
• Rangifer can summon trees. If it backs away and yells before slamming its hea on the ground, it's about to create trees that erupt from the forest floor, marked by red circles.
• In phase 2, these trees last longer. In its phase 2, non-damaging trees also appear, which Emma can use as grapple points. You'll need these mobility boosts to avoid many of its attacks, so keep an eye on their location!
• If it summons a lot of trees and glows, attack it immediately! This happens roughly at the midpoint, wherein Rangifer draws energy from trees it summons to heal itself. Grapple to it and land a combo to end this effect.

For winning the encounter, you'll get the Bloom Art Sakura Javelin, which allows Koo to fire an electrified grapple point at an enemy, as well as the Sakura Blade Art/Finisher for Emma.

To upgrade weapons in Beast of Reincarnation (a system referred to as Weapon Enhancement) might seem simple at first, but it won't be long before you're running into obstacles that prevent you from further enhancing your swords and ranged weapons, even when you have the Amber to pay for it. Obviously increasing your damage can be done by boosting your strength, but weapon upgrades are an essential component of Beast of Reincarnation that need to be kept in mind if you're going to keep up with the various Malefects out there.

How do you enhance your weapons in Beast of Reincarnation?

To enhance your weapons and upgrade them can be done at the Workbench in your Cleanse Walker hub or through the Enhance Weapons options at camps, in which Emma can spend Amber (the game's main currency) to improve the damage of both her melee and ranged weapons, as well as increase ammo capacity and other similar enhancements.

The workbench is found behind Brad in the pilot's seat, and next to the kitchen section where you can cook recipes in Beast of Reincarnation.

However, you'll notice that after one or two upgrades, you'll hit a hard cap that prevents you from upgrading them any further. To continue upgrades, you'll need to upgrade the stats of the Cleanse Walker's programming, known as Bauera, to a certain level as marked on the weapon.

Bauera has three stats: Power (blue), Calculations (yellow) and Knowledge (green), and Power is usually the limiter that prevents further weapon enhancements. You can improve these stats by finding certain spoils out in the world while adventuring, usually the remnants of golems. Strongboxes and valuable item markers left by Koo are a likely source of these spoils, so make sure to pay attention to your faithful dog along the way.

Cooking recipes and food in Beast of Reincarnation is a mechanic wherein Emma can create meals for stat bonuses back at the hub, though the game is a bit unclear about how this process works. Players are likely to be going through Beast of Reincarnation and finding recipes and food ingredients, but not have any real clarity about how those things are used and how you cook meals. In fact, it's not the player that's meant to do it, as there's an NPC you're meant to talk to that will cook these things for you, as I'll explain below.

How do you cook food in Beast of Reincarnation and use recipes?

To cook food in Beast of Reincarnation requires several steps, as it's not actually Emma who does this, but Kagura. Here's how it works:

1. Find meal recipes in the world or purchase them from merchants.
2. Go back to the Cleanse Walker hub and speak to Kagura, next to the workbench where you upgrade weapons in Beast of Reincarnation.
3. Choose "Cooking Research" from the menu and select the recipe you want her to learn permanently.
4. This will take time. Come back later and Kagura will have learned the recipe permanently.
5. When you next choose to rest in the Cleanse Walker, you'll be given a list of the recipes that Kagura knows. As long as she has the ingredients, you can choose that one.
6. Afterwards, you'll be shown a brief cinematic of Emma, Koo and Kagura eating.
7. The next day when she wakes up, Emma will gain a stat increase that varies depending on the meal she consumed.
8. Eating a meal for the first time grants a better enhancement. This should motivate players towards a diverse diet and to keep researching recipes.

It's worth clarifying that Beast of Reincarnation draws a distinction between the meals that Kagura cooks and the hunger-preventing rations that you can take with you out into the world. Kagura's meals provide stat bonuses, whereas the rations delay the onset of hunger for you and Koo.

Ingredients for meals can be purchased from merchants or grown in the Cleanse Walker at the room at the back next to the shower, where the option to grow vegetables and keep small livestock like chickens is presented to you. These both take time to produce ingredients, but it's good to have them going, and to research meals that require very little in terms of produce, so you always have something to eat.

This Mega Rayquaza ex deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket is one of the best dragon type decks out there to date, with players experimenting with variations to work out the best build. Right now it seems as though Rayquaza and Dragonair from the Ruler of the Skies set remain a winning combination, resulting in a deck that burns up energy and then brings it right back from the discard pile. If you want to know more, here's how to make the best possible PTCGP Mega Rayquaza deck in the meta right now.

Check out our page of the Pokemon TCG Pocket best decks for more options, and to see exactly how this build hold up against the others.

Best Mega Rayquaza ex deck build in Pokemon TCGP

The best Mega Rayquaza ex deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket is a combo energy deck (like all dragons) made of the following cards:

• Drampa x2
• Mega Rayquaza ex x2
• Dratini (Mega Shine) x2
• Dragonair (Ruler of the Skies) x2
• Poke Ball x2
• Pokemon Communication x1
• Rocky Helmet x2
• Professor's Research x2
• Cyrus x1
• Copycat x2
• Rainbow Cave x2

Energy: Fire / Electric

There's plenty of variants of this deck (many include Gouging Fire) but this one is one we've seen a little more success with. The goal here is to use Mega Rayquaza as your main damage dealer, with throws away energy only for Dragonair to be able to bring it back from the discard pile. Drampa works in the same way, only in a less powerful form.

The downsides are, of course, the costs of energy generation. Even with two Dragonair on the bench you can only bring back one energy per turn, and that makes it difficult to build up once you start attacking. I recommend keeping Rayquaza on the bench until the mid-game and letting Drampa or Dragonair soften enemies up a bit, then bringing out Rayquaza once it has some energy on it or until you can have it target a powerful enemy Pokemon.

• Pros
  • Potentially huge damage output
  • No type weaknesses for enemies to exploit
  • Not much build-up required
• Cons
  • Struggles in the early game
  • Risk of using Rayquaza at the wrong time

Vespiquen ex in Pokemon TCG Pocket has become the focus on new powerful Grass type deck builds, able to discard your own cards from the bench for the sake of causing your own damage output to double. Not only that, but there's a wide range of powerful Grass types in the meta, mainly focused on durability and resistance, making this as much of a tank deck as anything else. If that appeals to you, here's how to make the best possible Vespiquen deck in PTCGP, as well as the strategies, weaknesses, and more besides.

See how Vespiquen ex fares in our rankings of the Pokemon TCG Pocket best decks!

Best Vespiquen ex deck build in Pokemon TCGP

The best Vespiquen ex deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket is composed of the following cards:

• Combee (Space-Time Smackdown) x2
• Vespiquen ex x2
• Teal Mask Ogerpon x1
• Shuckle ex x2
• X Speed x1
• Field Blower x1
• Leaf Cape x2
• Professor's Research x2
• Erika x1
• Cyrus x1
• Mars x1
• Copycat x2
• Fragrant Forest x2

Energy: Grass

Vespiquen is your heavy hitter in this deck, capable of doing 140 damage if you discard one of your Pokemon from your bench. That's actually not too bad a sacrifice - your opponent won't get any points from that, and it can actually be a way to remove weak cards from play so your opponent can't use Cyrus or bench-hitting attacks to KO them.

Otherwise, the strategy of play is pretty straightforward. Start with Shuckle ex for the early endurance, building up to Vespiquen on the bench with Fragrant Forest and other draw cards. This shouldn't take long (it's a low energy deck), before you can then bring the big bug out and start hitting for major damage. Meanwhile, Ogerpon ensures you're immune to status effects, including those all-too-common sleep builds we've seen going around.

• Pros
  • Low energy costs
  • Durable deck build
  • Good damage output from Vespiquen ex
• Cons
  • Single strategy
  • Combee is a vulnerability

Strong Puppy Pile deck builds in Pokemon TCG Pocket have come creeping up through the meta since they debuted, and while multiple variants of this deck exist, they all share a common theme and strategy. This is a deck wherein combining Puppy Pile cards increases their damage, and the diverse types on display means you can exploit type weakness all the more effectively. Below I'll explain how the Puppy Pile deck in PTCGP works, and the best build for getting the most from it.

See where the Puppy Pile deck falls in our Pokemon TCG Pocket best decks page!

Best Puppy Pile deck build in Pokemon TCGP

Puppy Pile in Pokemon TCG Pocket is a mechanic wherein every card in your hand and board with that attack all add to each other's power. Here's how to make the best Puppy Pile deck possible:

• Magby x2
• Growlithe x2
• Rockruff x2
• Fidough x2
• Yamper x2
• Poke Ball x2
• Flame Patch x2
• Professor's Research x2
• Cyrus x1
• Copycat x1
• Puppy-Loving Girl x1
• Bounded Field x1

Energy: Fire

This is a deck where you want to get an early advantage and come out swinging, as none of your cards have the durability to survive more than one moderately powerful attack. For that reason, the best opening draw is Magby, who can then empower your cards on the Bench so you can quickly get them out for a second-turn strike. At that point, you want to keep up the offense and stop your opponents from building any coherent strategy.

Fortunately, Fire Energy means that power can keep being circulated, with Flame Patch and Magby both aiding in this. And more interestingly, this is a deck that can exploit the weaknesses of countless other decks, as you have four different types of attack from the different Puppy Pile decks, while Bounded Field massively increases the damage of those weakness exploits. With a hand full of Puppies and a type advantage, you can potentially do 300+ damage in a single attack.

• Pros
  • Huge damage potential
  • Can exploit a vast array of weaknesses
• Cons
  • Incredibly low durability
  • Wholly dependant on you being faster than your opponent

Knowing the Big Walk release time is important information, if you're keen to start exploring the wide-open world of House House's latest quirky adventure. This is especially true here as the game is launching globally at different times, depending on whether you're playing on PlayStation 5 or PC and Nintendo Switch 2, and if you're based in the United States or elsewhere. To help you fathom out when your journey can begin, I've rounded up all of the Big Walk release times and explained the differences.

You can't play solo, so we've also got the lowdown on Big Walk crossplay to help you join your friends, plus a puzzle walkthrough to show you how to lower the red bridge in Big Walk if you get stuck.

What time does Big Walk come out?

The game launches on August 4, but by checking the various regional PlayStation Stores and SteamDB information I have identified two separate Big Walk release times depending on your location and format. These are broken down as follows:

• PS5 (EU Store)
  • 9am BST
  • 10am CEST
• PS5 (US Store)
  • 6am PDT
  • 9am EDT
• PS5 (AU/NZ Store)
  • 6pm AEST
  • 8pm NZST
• PC (Steam)
  • 6am PDT
  • 9am EDT
  • 2pm BST
  • 3pm CEST
  • 11pm AEST
  • 1am NZST (August 5)

It appears that globally Big Walk will release first on PS5 in the UK/EU and Australia/New Zealand, then five hours later it will launch on PS5 in the US alongside a simultaneous worldwide release on PC via Steam. There is currently no information available about the Nintendo Switch 2 release time, though based on previous third-party launches this is likely to mirror the Steam timings.

Unlike with the Xbox, there is no "New Zealand trick" on PS5 to switch your internal clock to NZST so you can get access sooner, which means if you're based in the United States then the only way to play Big Walk early is to purchase it from the UK/EU or Australia/New Zealand PSN Store. Given the difference is only 5 hours and it's happening overnight, the best option is to wait until it becomes available in your region – especially if you're picking it up for free via PlayStation Plus!

There are six Mistfall Hunter classes you can chose from, and the best really depends on how you want to play. There are clear contenders for a best starter to get you into the game, but whether you want direct combat, ranged options, or magic plays into your choice.

There's a recognizable mix of fighters, magic users, stealthy types, rogues, and tanks, each with their own quirks. To figure out what's going on with each takes a little experimenting. Fortunately I've been trying them all out, so I can pass on my opinions of everything available to help you decide what might be best for you.

This is all based on the starter loadouts for the time being, without any levelling up or extra skills. Obviously some of these characters will evolve as you develop them but you're not doing that until you get some experience under your belt with something that works for you off the bat. So here are your options.

Mistfall Hunter best starter classes

Like most of these games the best starter class is the basic fighter, the Mercenary. They have a good mix of mobility, offense, and defense, letting you learn the ropes with the most accommodating set of skills to help you stay alive.

However, currently the tier list of classes is shaping up like this in Mistfall:

• S Tier
  • Withered Knight
• A tier
  • Blackarrow
  • Sorcerer
  • Mercenary
• B tier
  • Shadowstrix
• C Tier
  • Seer

Personally I prefer the Mercenary's mix of mobility and options, but overall the community seems to be leaning hard into the Withered Knight and its ability to laydown some serious damage. It is one of the tougher classes to master however, with slow, broad attacks that need patience and care to land. A good option if you're willing to put in the practice and get to grips with it's more slow and unwieldly nature.

The Blackarrow and Sorcerer options are good, focusing on ranged attacks that keep you at a safe distance. Of the two I'd say the Blackarrow archer is the best in terms of keeping up the pressure - it's fast and can lay on damage in fast bursts, although all their attacks are basically 'firing an arrow' so it can get a bit samey. The Sorcerer on the other hand has a little more variety but takes a little longer with its charged attacks and cooldowns, and has a stamina draining dodge that can leave you exposed if you overuse it.

The Shadowstrix is another popular option, mainly because of its stealth ability letting you become invisible to escape or reposition. It's basically the twitchy stealthy, rogue-like option but it does feels a little flail-y once you've blown cover.

And, lastly there's the Seer, which has some interesting potential but requires a lot of strategy and planning to build up its abilities. It doesn't have a great deal of primary damage and instead relies on runes and other triggered abilities.

If you want to change class, experiment, and try a few out, you can talk to Dew, and there's a practice ground to test things without any real risk. There's a minimal cooldown involved, but nothing that will stop you swapping around to see how some of the other options play.

All Mistfall Hunter classes

Below are all of the Mistfall Hunter classes and my opinion on then. This isn't in order or preference, just how they appear in-game. Having played around with all of them, I've gathered together some pros and cons, and what I think of them.

Mercenary

The Mercenary is fast and nimble fighter with a quick dodge and a shield to help avoid taking damage. As a class, it sacrifices a high damage output for speed and versatility - letting you dip and weave around enemies while landing a constant rain of blows. There's also a damaging shield dash to close distances. Attacking stacks a Sword Tip effect that then lets you use a Stacked Slash when you accumulate enough to do more damage. You also have the option to change to a giant hammer which swaps the speed and protection of the sword and shield for harder hitting attacks and has the chance to build a Super Armor effect that negates stagger.

Sorcerer

The sorcerer uses ranged attacks to deal damage and add elemental effects to enemies. Their main offense to start with is a fireball, and a windcraft spell that knocks enemies back and hurts them. They can also use a frost attack to damage and slow opponents. Because they are best at range, they also have a far reaching (but stamina sapping) teleport dodge that can get them well out of the reach of danger, although it runs out fast. As they're maybe not the best at charging into battle headfirst, there's also a Phantom Step spell that silences their footsteps and cancels fall damage, giving you some more options to get around. They're good if you're patient and can maintain distance.

Blackarrow

This is a fast paced, ranged archer that specialises in a constant flurry of arrows using distance and a diving roll to avoid taking any damage back. As well as firing basic arrows that can be charged for more damage and range, you can also use a full auto Volley to fire five arrows in quick succession, as well as a shotgun like Scattershot blast that fires seven arrows in a wide arc. You can also switch to a limited amount of Steel Arrows that pierce enemies, and Storm-imbued arrows that cause stagger and knock back effects. I found this option an easy and very safe class in terms of survivability, thanks to the range involved, but it is a little dull to play as all your attacks are basically just 'firing an arrow'.

Shadowstrix

The Shadowstrix can switch between a dagger and dual blades, focusing on a stealthy, backstabbing, poisoning style of play. With the dagger, you can access an invisibility skill to get close to an enemy as well as a poison attack that deals damage and reduces a target's dodge and movement. The single dagger is very much for opening up an attack from stealth, while the Dual Blades is more for the direct combat that follows, with a highly mobile range of dancing combos that string together multiple attacks, or launch them at a distance. You also have a Crow Storm attack that works like a ranged spell to slow and damage enemies. It's a fast character with longer attacks that take a little skill to master so that you're not waving your blades wildly into thing air.

Seer

The Seer is probably the hardest option to start with as it relies on casting runes to deal real damage, while using minor magic attacks to charge the power needed to do that. Their basic attack is a Psionic Orb that doesn't do a huge amount on its own and instead is more about building Psionic Energy you can then use to fire charged orbs and cast runes: there's a Punishment Rune that acts like a turret, firing at the enemy with the lowest health; and a Burst Rune that acts like a landmine - marking enemies that touch it and dealing damage after a delay when the mark 'bursts'. This is very tactical class that requires forward planning to get the most out of it.

Withered Knight

The Withered Knight is a slow and heavy hitting option, with long, broadly animated attacks that can sail past enemies if you miss. They need precision and care to land blows but can stack that damage to build a 'Wither' finisher that can be detonated for even more damage. They can also switch to a polearm and shield combo that trades damage for protection but requires a great deal of precision to land its narrow attacks. This is very much a powerful, slow moving tank that can hit incredibly hard if you master its longer movement and attack wind ups, but probably not the best for beginners.

Hirosaki Castle in Forza Horizon 6 is in the Takashiro Region, and you need to take a photo with it for one of this week's winter challenges in the Italian Exotics Festival Playlist Series. While the castle grounds are quite easy to find on the map, you've still got to find the castle, and be driving a Classic Sports Car to complete the photo challenge. With that, I've explained everything you need to know to complete this Forza Horizon 6 challenge, including the location of Hirosaki Castle.

Forza Horizon 6 Hirosaki Castle location

Hirosaki Castle is in the eastern half of the Takshiro Region of Forza Horizon 6, almost directly north of Soni Circuit. On the map, the castle grounds are quite easy to spot, appearing as a large grey-brown rectangle with an orange road and white road surrounding it. The Hirosaki Castle itself is the white square in the southeast corner of the grounds.

To complete the photo challenge, you need to snap a photo of a Classic Sports Car with the castle itself. You can use Forza Horizon 6 fast travel to reach the road surrounding the castle, but then you need to find one of the ways into the grounds and make your way to the castle.

You also need to be in a Classic Sports Car, so open the 'Change Car' menu, press Y to bring up the Filters menu, then toggle on Classic Sports Cars under the Car Type header. Close the Filters menu and then choose an appropriate car from your garage. Obviously if you don't have any Classic Sports Cars, you'll need to buy one. You could also drive the 1971 Nissan Skyline 200GT-R, which is one of the Forza Horizon 6 Barn Finds.

Once you've got the right car and are in position, open Photo Mode and snap a quickshot with RB to complete the Photo Challenge. For your efforts, you'll get two Festival Playlist points for the winter season and a White Suit for your Drivatar. Remember, like the Forza Horizon 6 Hokubu Treasure Hunt for this winter season, you've only got until 2:30pm UTC on August 6 to complete this challenge!

The Gears of War E-Day multiplayer beta gives you a chance to try out the upcoming game for free while allowing the dev team at The Coalition a chance to see how it handles under stress. I'd call that a win-win.

If you want to join in and check out the multiplayer aspect of the upcoming game, here's how to gain access to the latest Gears of War beta, including the dates and times the server is open to all.

Gears of War E-Day beta dates

The Gears of War: E-Day Multiplayer Beta goes live across two weekends: August 6 - 10, and August 13 - 17, 2026. The first is for players with early access, while the second weekend is open for everyone.

The beta is focussed solely on the multiplayer aspect of the new Gears of War game, including the brand-new Horde Siege mode, which is "an Evolution of Gears' Iconic PvE Mode", featuring 12 players split into smaller squads, each playing cooperatively against the harsh and demanding environment.

You'll be able to try this and of course PvP in both weekends of the beta, so if you want to know how to get involved, read on.

How to join the Gears of War E-Day beta

To get early access to the Gears of War E-Day beta, you must pre-order the game or have an active Game Pass Ultimate or PC subscription. This does mean that there is technically a cost to playing early, but if you already have Game Pass Ultimate, you're in.

Unfortunately, this does mean that those on Game Pass Premium or Essential won't get early access, but you can upgrade your subscription level if you so wish. You can do this or purchase the game any time before the early access beta ends on August 10 to get in.

If you'd rather not make the commitment to the game or Game Pass Ultimate or PC just yet, then you can still participate in the beta during the second weekend, simply by downloading the beta on Xbox or PC nearer the time.

If you're not on PC or Xbox and are wondering about those Gears of War PS5 rumors, we've got a separate article for you.

The Forza Horizon 6 Hokubu Treasure Hunt for the winter season of the Italian Exotics Festival Playlist Series is in quite an obscure place on the map, with the photo clue giving you very little to go off. If you don't know where those big hay bale scarecrows can be found in Forza Horizon 6, then you're going to have a tough time scouring the region for this treasure chest. To help you find and smash it, I've laid out the exact location of this Treasure Hunt in Forza Horizon 6 below.

Forza Horizon 6 Hokubu Treasure Hunt location

The Forza Horizon 6 Treasure Hunt chest in the Hokubu is found on the northwestern side of the Shikisai-No-Aka flower fields, which is roughly in the middle of the region.

The treasure chest itself is in a car park between the highway road that goes around the north side of the flower fields and the white road that goes through them. There's a small garage building by this car park and the treasure chest is next to it, overlooking the snow-covered fields. It's a spot you can’t use Forza Horizon 6 fast travel to reach directly, but you can get close. Once you're there, smash into the treasure chest for an easy 100,000 Credits, making it a great way to get some Forza Horizon 6 money.

This Treasure Hunt in FH6 isn't around for long as it's part of the limited-time Festival Playlist activities for the winter week. That means you've got until 2:30pm UTC on August 6 to destroy the chest, otherwise the season will change to spring and a new set of challenges will take over. You've also got until the same date and time to complete the Forza Horizon 6 Hirosaki Castle photo challenge!

Will Gears of War E-Day be on PS5 at launch, and if not, is that liable to change any time in the future? The new Gears of War prequel has captured attention since it was announced, but right now Xbox-owned games and their ports have a somewhat on-and-off relation with PlayStation 5, making it hard to know off-hand. Below I'll lay out the details and explain what you can play E-Day on.

Will Gears of War E-Day be on PS5?

No, there will NOT be a PS5 port of Gears of War E-Day, according to current information given to us by Microsoft.

The current plan is for E-Day to be an Xbox exclusive, playable only on the Series X/S and PC. While at some point in the past it appeared as though Microsoft was considering a PlayStation port, that appears to have changed in the wake of variously changing business strategies at Xbox.

This might come as a surprise to some, as recent Xbox games have had a habit of making it to PlayStation sooner or later, with recent years giving us PS5 ports of Starfield, Sea of Thieves, and the upcoming Fable game still planned for simultaneous releases on both consoles. However, Xbox appears to be reconsidering which games it makes ports of, at least when it comes to launch day.

It's possible that we may see a later port of E-Day to PS5 in the future, but there's no guarantee of that, and it certainly won't be at launch day according to current information. If you're determined to see the historic moment where a chainsaw was duct-taped to a machine gun as soon as possible, you'll need access to an Xbox or Gaming PC.

If you're looking for all skull locations in Halo: Campaign Evolved then you're no doubt searching for ways to modify your playthrough. There are 42 skulls in total, with 39 of them hidden in some very obscure positions across the 13 levels. The other three are unlocked automatically once you collect your first two skulls. Remember, you'll need all 42 unlocked if you want to go after the Headhunter trophy/achievement in Halo: Campaign Evolved.

One helpful thing to know about the Skulls is that they make an ominous, ghostly breathing-like sound when you're nearby - wear some headphones and you might be able to home in by listening out. But some of them are impossible to find even when being thorough, requiring specific conditions to be met and puzzles to be solved.

With that in mind, below you'll find my guide to all Halo: Campaign Evolved skull locations and give details on how to collect them.

Make sure you also look out for the Halo Campaign Evolved Terminals as you explore every level!

Halo Campaign Evolved Pillar of Autumn Skull 1

From Rally Point Alpha, the start of the level.

As soon as soon as you have control of Master Chief, turn around and go to the two large, round containers on the left side of the back of the room. Climb onto these containers, then jump across to the nearby upper walkway. Walk to the other end and you'll find the Speed Limit Skull.

Speed Limit: Disables sprint.

Halo Campaign Evolved Pillar of Autumn Skull 2

From Rally Point Alpha, as soon as the marine says Cortana needs you at the bridge.

The next room the marine leads you into is an armory, and the Magnified Skull is on top of the weapon rack near the middle of the room.

Magnified: The assault rifle now has a 60-round magazine, just like the original.

Halo Campaign Evolved Pillar of Autumn Skull 3

From Rally Point Bravo, after the cutscene where Master Chief meets Keyes at the bridge.

Turn around and go back into the bridge. Head over to the main control area with the glass canopy and the two pilots in their chairs and drop down into the floorspace below them to find the Perspective Skull.

Perspective: Switches to a third-person, over-the-shoulder view.

Halo Campaign Evolved Halo Skull 1

From Rally Point Charlie, at the lifeboat crash site near the cliff edge where the marines are holed up underground.

Before getting into the details for this Skull, it's worth mentioning that it's much easier to get if you play this mission with the Acrophobia Skull active. Otherwise, make sure you DO NOT use any frag grenades while you rescue the marines.

Clear out the Covenant as normal, then head to the upper platform of the main Forerunner spire structure in the middle of the area. Jump onto the small lip on either side of the spire, then walk up the ramp – this will get you into a small nook in the middle of the spire where you can see a hole that leads down into the basement where the marines were hiding.

Standing in this nook, look at one of the corners opposite the hole where the ramp meets part of the spire and chuck a frag grenade into it. As you do, turn around to face the narrow ledge you need to get on top of, then jump just before the grenade explodes. The explosion should then boost you up enough to get on top of the ledge. You can also crouch in mid-air to tuck Chief's legs and help you get up. Walk up the narrow ledge to find the Grunt Funeral Skull at the top.

If you run out of frag grenades, quickly reload to the last checkpoint and you should be able to attempt again. It is possible to do this grenade jump with a plasma grenade, but their more powerful short-range explosion means you'll probably just blow yourself up. Otherwise, if you have the Acrophobia Skull active, you can fly up to the Skull very easily.

Grunt Funeral: When grunts die, they explode like a plasma grenade.

Halo Campaign Evolved Halo Skull 2

From Rally Point Charlie, at the lifeboat crash site near the rockslide.

After rescuing the marines in this area, go to the top of the rockslide area and stand on the largest of the rock formations (this is usually where a marine with a sniper rifle perches). Hop across to the large, grass-covered rock on your right, then jump down to the smaller rock ahead and below. The Floor Is Lava Skull is on this rock.

Floor Is Lava: Take continuous damage whenever you're touching the ground.

Halo Campaign Evolved Halo Skull 3

From Rally Point Charlie, along the river from the final lifeboat crash site in the hills.

Find the river and follow it uphill to until you reach the tall tunnel. Go inside the tunnel and on your left there will be some large rocks. Check next to the largest rock and you'll find the Give & Take Skull floating ominously.

Give & Take: Firing your weapon drains your shield, but damaging enemies recharges your shield.

Halo Campaign Evolved Truth and Reconciliation Skull 1

From Rally Point Alpha, just before using the gravity lift to get inside the ship.

From the grav lift, head up the hill towards the cliff and look for a small tree right on the cliff edge and to the left of a bushier shrub and a much taller tree.

Walk over to this small tree and then look down the cliff and you'll spot the Iron Skull on a tiny ledge. Carefully drop down to collect it. As far as I can tell, there's no way back up, so you have to die or reload your checkpoint.

Iron: Dying while playing solo restart the level. Dying in co-op resets to your last checkpoint.

Halo Campaign Evolved Truth and Reconciliation Skull 2

From Rally Point Bravo, after entering the vehicle bay with some Wraiths lying around.

Run along the upper walkway but rather than going through the door into the corridors leading down, keep going right until you find a Covenant barrel-looking object near the edge of the walkway next to a purple column – this column is the first in a row of three. The Endurance Spec Skull itself is on the furthest column.

To reach this Skull, you need to leap across the columns using the steep bulbous parts as jumping points. Be warned that this can be quite difficult as it's very easy to bounce or slip off the columns. But when you eventually reach the third one, start holding Square/X so that you grab the Skull without having to land on the column properly.

Endurance Spec: UNSC vehicles can't be damaged.

Halo Campaign Evolved Truth and Reconciliation Skull 3

From Rally Point Bravo, after entering the shuttle bay.

Immediately head right to a door which will occasionally open to let Covenant enemies join the fight. When the door opens, run inside and follow the corridor all the way to the other end. You'll find the Foreign Skull on the floor in a corner next to a round, purple hologram.

Foreign: You cannot use Covenant weapons.

Halo Campaign Evolved Silent Cartographer Skull 1

From Rally Point Alpha or Bravo, where the two Hunters are that guard the way to the security system.

The area where you find the Hunter pair features a Forerunner structure in the middle. Walk up the inclined part of this structure and you'll find the Acrophobia Skull at the end near the cliff wall.

Acrophobia: While in mid-air hold the jump button to fly.

Halo Campaign Evolved Silent Cartographer Skull 2

From Rally Point Alpha or Bravo, outside the entrance structure to the Silent Cartographer.

Standing on the platform outside the main entranceway and facing the entrance, look to your right for a hole in the cliff. Head inside to find a small cave tunnel and the Bandana Skull lying in the middle of a patch of light.

Bandana: Gain infinite ammo and grenades (also disables the ability to earn certain achievements).

Halo Campaign Evolved Silent Cartographer Skull 3

From Rally Point Charlie, after going through the previously locked door.

Follow the main objective through the Forerunner facility, including going down to the next floor. You'll then be directed to another stairwell that leads downward with a blue hologram in the gap. Look down this gap and you'll just about be able to spot the Hip Fire Skull on a small corner ledge. Jump down and collect the Skull.

Hip Fire: Disables aiming and scope zoom for all weapons.

Halo Campaign Evolved Assault on the Control Room Skull 1

From Rally Point Bravo, after driving the Scorpion tank across the bridge in the chasm.

Once on the other side of the bridge, turn left and drive the tank to the ice wall at the end of the platform. You'll notice a tall, narrow gap on the right side of this ice wall which is where the IWHBYD Skull (I Would Have Been Your Daddy, in case you're curious) is.

To reach it, turn the tank around and reverse so that the turret is close to the gap. Then get out the tank, climb on top of the turret, and jump to the Skull.

IWHBYD: Rare dialogue becomes more common.

Halo Campaign Evolved Assault on the Control Room Skull 2

From Rally Point Charlie, after reaching the snowy clearing with three large arches but before going through the door to to find the Control Center Ziggurat.

From this door, turn around to look at the three arch structures. Walk up the one on the right and you'll find the Angry Skull right in the middle.

Angry: Enemies fire their weapons faster and more frequently.

Halo Campaign Evolved Assault on the Control Room Skull 3

From Rally Point Echo, upon reaching the bridge next to the Control Center Ziggurat with the Banshees on it.

Walk up to the middle of the bridge and stand on the left where the slope of the ziggurat almost touches the bridge. Jump down this slope and walk down and under the bridge to find the Cowbell Skull perched on a rock.

Cowbell: Objects are more easily moved by physics effects, such as explosions.

Halo Campaign Evolved 343 Guilty Spark Skull 1

From Rally Point Alpha, just after you pass the crashed Spirit dropship.

Follow the path left and up the hill. When you pass the large tree on your left and get to the purple light, start climbing up the rock and dirt bank on the left. The Fog Skull is on top of a small dirt mound on this bank.

Fog: Motion Tracker is disabled.

Halo Campaign Evolved 343 Guilty Spark Skull 2

From Rally Point Bravo, upon finding the insane marine in the Forerunner facility who tries to shoot you.

Kill him. He'll drop the That's Just… Wrong Skull for that.

That's Just… Wrong: Enemies have increased awareness of your presence.

Halo Campaign Evolved 343 Guilty Spark Skull 3

From Rally Point Charlie, at the end of the level where you have to kill the Flood while you wait for evac next to a large Forerunner structure.

Obviously don't kill everything otherwise you'll end the mission. From the Forerunner structure, facing the oncoming Flood, turn left and go around the back of the structure into the dark forest. Keep going until you find a thin felled tree next to a much larger tree.

Climb up to and walk along the felled tree until you can see a large rock formation below. Look down and to your left and you'll spot the They Come Back Skull on this rock.

They Come Back: Flood Combat Forms reanimated by Infection Forms are much more dangerous.

Halo Campaign Evolved The Library Skull 1

From Rally Point Alpha, after going through the service tunnel (when you come out the other side, 343 Guilty Spark will remark on how you survived and Sentinels will arrive to kill the Flood).

From the service tunnel exit, walk forward, then turn around and you'll spot large slopes on either side. Climb up to the one on your left to find the Tilt Skull.

Tilt: Positive and negative damage multipliers are increased (for example, plasma weapons deal even more damage against shields, but even less against health).

Halo Campaign Evolved The Library Skull 2

From Rally Point Bravo, upon reaching the first large door that 343 Guilty Spark must open.

Opposite the door is an area with two large pillars and a small ledge against the wall with a light shining upwards. The Pop Skull is on this ledge. To get to it, climb up one of the slopes near either of the pillars, jump onto a pillar, then jump across to the ledge.

Pop: Shooting Flood enemies in their weakspot causes them to explode.

Halo Campaign Evolved The Library Skull 3

From Rally Point Charlie, after taking the elevator down to the Flood-infested final floor.

Go straight ahead from the lift, down the incline, and through the doorway into some Flood goop-filled corridors. Take the next left, and you'll find the Famine Skull on the floor near a wall of goop.

Famine: Weapons dropped by enemies contain half the ammo.

Halo Campaign Evolved Two Betrayals Skull 1

From Rally Point Alpha, upon grabbing a Banshee after leaving the Control Center.

Fly the Banshee to the top of the Control Center spire, land on it, then grab the Tough Luck Skull near the edge. Be aware that there's no way to get down without dying unless you've expertly landed your Banshee, so you'll have to reload a checkpoint or restart the level.

Tough Luck: Enemies always go berserk, constantly dive out the way, and rarely flee a fight.

Halo Campaign Evolved Two Betrayals Skull 2

From Rally Point Charlie, upon reaching the area with the three arches – the same snowy area where the Angry Skull was in Assault on the Control Room.

This time, walk across the middle arch then bear right into the small dead end of Flood growths. The Black Eye Skull is on a small pile of snow in this area.

Black Eye: Your shields only recharge when you melee enemies.

Halo Campaign Evolved Two Betrayals Skull 3

From Rally Point Charlie, once you reach the snow canyon where you need to commandeer another Banshee.

Fly to the top of the massive tower in the middle of the canyon and land your Banshee on the top. Activate the Forerunner console in the middle to open a door, then fly your Banshee to the landing area in front of the console – not the landing area the objective marker is telling you to go to.

Pass through the now unlocked door here to reach a room full of enemies. Kill everything inside (Flood, stealth Elites and Fuel Rod Gun Grunts), then go to the opposite side of the room to find another console which you can activate to open the nearby door. This leads into a Flood-infested corridor and you need to kill everything in here too so that you can activate another console, letting you into the final room.

Kill everything in this last room (lots of Flood, including Tank Forms), and then collect the Mythic Skull from the enclosure in the middle.

Mythic: Enemies have more health.

Halo Campaign Evolved Keyes Skull 1

From Rally Point Alpha on Heroic difficulty or higher, at the very start of the mission. Fair warning: this is by far the hardest Halo Campaign Evolved Skull to get.

The Catch Skull itself is at the highest point of the gravity lift that takes you into the Truth and Reconciliation ship, but it will disappear if you take too long to reach it.

To get this Skull, you need to speedrun through the opening section of Keyes, sprinting and jumping past every enemy, to get to the grav lift area as quickly as possible (Tip: look up slightly to prevent aim assist from dragging your aim around as you run past enemies!).

Once there, focus on killing the Covenant enemies, most of which will be marked with red icons. I recommend grabbing the Overshield, fighting your way to the grav lift itself, and then standing in it while chucking grenades and shooting at anything that approaches.

Eventually, the gravity lift will pull you up, at which point you need to hold Square/X. Doing so should guarantee that you collect the Skull as soon as you reach the highest point of the lift. To give you an idea of how quick you need to be, I grabbed the Skull in just under three minutes, but it is thankfully still obtainable even if you die and reload at a checkpoint midway through your speedrun.

Catch: Enemies throw and drop more grenades.

Halo Campaign Evolved Keyes Skull 2

From Rally Point Bravo, once you're inside the vehicle bay.

Get down to the main floor of the vehicle bay and head to the open doorway past the Wraiths. Down this corridor, you'll notice a destroyed Wraith and several Covenant containers blocking the way but stick to the left wall and you can crouch-walk under the Wraith. Go to the end of the corridor and you'll find the Blind Skull on the ground next to the locked door.

Blind: HUD and weapons are invisible.

Halo Campaign Evolved Keyes Skull 3

From Rally Point Charlie, after the cutscene where Master Chief removes Flood Keyes' neural lace.

Keep punching Keyes' Flood form until it drops the appropriately named Piñata Skull.

Piñata: Punching enemies makes them drop inert grenades.

Halo Campaign Evolved The Maw Skull 1

From Rally Point Bravo, in the burning cryo storage room.

Head to the far-left corner of the room where the fire, walk up the collapsed walkway, then turn around and jump onto the far support pillar against the wall. The Stowed Reload Skull is on top of this pillar.

Stowed Reload: Weapons reload while stowed.

Halo Campaign Evolved The Maw Skull 2

From Rally Point Bravo, just after destroying the four cores in Engineering.

From the far control panel on the right side of the room as you entered (this is the one that controls Core F), jump down on to the small platform with a box on it that's just below the wide doorway you can leave through. Then drop down to the left onto the narrow walkway, where you'll find the Boom Skull tucked away.

Boom: Explosion radius is doubled.

Halo Campaign Evolved The Maw Skull 3

From Rally Point Charlie, towards the beginning of the Warthog run.

Begin the Warthog run as normal until you reach the first tunnel section. On your right, you'll spot a smaller tunnel with red lights you can drive through as a shortcut. Go through and then keep driving until you find a second tunnel like this, also on your right. Drive halfway through this one, get out the Warthog, then walk over to the scorched wall on your right. The Thunderstorm Skull is on the floor next to this wall.

Thunderstorm: Upgrades the ranks of most enemies.

Halo Campaign Evolved Boarding Action Skull 1

From Rally Point Alpha, after defeating the two Hunters on the upper floor (you can hear this Skull from the very start of the mission but need to make it past this point to collect it).

Instead of going up to where the objective marker directs, go right and follow the walkway and corridors down to the Seraph (the purple spaceship) launch bay.

Go through the door beyond the Seraph and head towards the path with the orange lights on it past the Shade turret and to your right. The Malfunction Skull is on this path.

Malfunction: When you respawn, a random HUD element is disabled.

Halo Campaign Evolved Boarding Action Skull 2

From Rally Point Bravo, after reaching the Elite training room area with the purple tube above.

Rather than going through the purple tube as the objective marker directs, head left along the upper floor towards two open doors. Go through the one on your left and follow the corridor to emerge onto the upper floor of the room before the training room – there will also be a squad of Elites ahead, so make sure you kill them first.

Next, go straight ahead to the curved pathway that goes around a rock spire, and you'll find the Johnny Ammo Seed Skull there.

Johnny Ammo Seed: When reloading, any remaining ammo in the discarded magazine is lost.

Halo Campaign Evolved Boarding Action Skull 3

From Rally Point Delta, after fighting through the room with the central gravity lift.

Before riding the grav lift up, go through the door to the left of it and follow the corridor to the end to find the Leadhead Skull.

Leadhead: Headshots no longer provide extra damage or instant kills.

Halo Campaign Evolved The Most Dangerous Game Skull 1

From Rally Point Alpha as you need to play through almost the entire level in one go to get this Skull.

To get the Temperamental Skull in The Most Dangerous Game, you need to shoot an invincible gold Elite that appears at three set points during the mission. The problem is that it almost immediately retreats to safety if you start shooting it or get too close. Miss an opportunity to break its shield and you can't collect the Skull later in the level – I recommend holding onto a longer-range weapon, such as the Battle or Needle Rifle to help.

Here are the three places you must shoot the gold Elite and where to find the Skull afterwards:

1. From Rally Point Alpha, after the Brute ambush area. The next area features many tall trees with large leaves and a far-off rock hill. The Elite is at the top of this hill and will retreat into the Covenant building behind it when you start shooting.

2. From Rally Point Bravo, upon reaching the Covenant bridge with a Wraith at the opposite end. Run across the bridge and past the Wraith, then start shooting the Elite. It will very quickly retreat through the doors directly behind it.

3. From Rally Point Charlie, after rescuing the marines from the brig and reach the room with the windows that let you see the packed sarcophagi (this is also very close to this level's Terminal). Head through the exit door into an outside area, then immediately look left and up to spot the gold Elite in an elevated position. Shoot it quickly before it retreats backwards out of sight.

4. If you sufficiently shot the gold Elite in all three areas, the Temperamental Skull can be collected from the same area as above. Kill all the enemies, then go up to the purple spire structure in the middle of the area to find the Skull.

Temperamental: Allies attack you more quickly if you kill a friendly.

Halo Campaign Evolved The Most Dangerous Game Skull 2

From Rally Point Bravo, upon reaching the bridge with the Wraith at the end.

As you step onto the bridge, turn around and shoot the plasma batteries on top of the columns on either side of the large door. This will cause the door to open, letting you grab the Recession Skull on the ground and access an armory of UNSC weapons.

Recession: Every shot fired expends twice as much ammo.

Halo Campaign Evolved The Most Dangerous Game Skull 3

From Rally Point Charlie, after you go through a large door where Johnson, Williams, and Master Chief have a brief conversation.

From the large door you came in through, bear left until you reach a tree with lots of stalagmites next to it. Jump onto the stalagmites, then climb up the jagged cliff, heading towards the large door. The Ghost Skull itself is in the purple flame closest to the cliff, so once you've made it to the flatter side of the cliff, you just need to jump across to the flame and grab the Skull.

Ghost: Enemies don't flinch when shot at.

Halo Campaign Evolved Heavy Burden Skull 1

From Rally Point Alpha, when you reach a bridge across a large chasm.

Rather than crossing the bridge, turn left and go through the next door (be careful as some Elites will attack you from here) and cross the much narrower bridge nearby. The Eye Patch Skull is to the right of the door at the end of this bridge.

Eye Patch: Auto-aiming is disabled for all weapons.

Halo Campaign Evolved Heavy Burden Skull 2

From Rally Point Bravo, when you reach a massive room with several floors as you head back to regroup with Williams.

In this room, you'll notice an elevated circular platform with two purple fire braziers and a cluster of rock spires nearby. The Grunt Birthday Party Skull is on top of the tallest of these spires.

To get to it, you need to get down to this circular platform, hop onto the brazier closest to the rock spires, then sprint and jump across to the top of one of the shorter spires. Then you just need to jump up and hold Square/X to grab the Skull.

Grunt Birthday Party: Killing a grunt with a headshot produces confetti and cheers.

Halo Campaign Evolved Heavy Burden Skull 3

From Rally Point Charlie, after you restore power to the gondola and continue moving.

With the gondola moving again, it will hover into a large room with a bridge, then into a room with a station on either side of the tunnel. The Skull is tucked away in the far-right corner of the station on the left, so you've got to hop off the gondola, sprint to the corner, and grab the Efficient Skull. Unfortunately, this area also has a 'Return To The Battlefield' timer, and the chances of you making it back to the gondola in time are very slim.

Efficient: Enemies killed while you're at full health drop more ammo.

Campaign Remix Skulls

Once you've collected any three Skulls in Halo Campaign Evolved, you'll also unlock three more Skulls – Adaptation, Armistice, and Reload – and the Campaign Remix mode. This mode randomly applies a selection of the Skulls you've collected to a new campaign, except for Adaptation, Armistice, and Reload which are always active in Remix mode. Here's what these Skulls do:

• Adaptation: Randomizes the enemy factions present in a mission.
• Armistice: Enemy factions never fight one another.
• Reload: Randomizes all pre-placed weapons in a mission.

Collecting all of these Skulls will add several hours to how long it takes to beat Halo Campaign Evolved, and they're also one of the major Halo Campaign Evolved changes that the remake introduces.

The long-awaited Helldivers 2 Warhammer 40K Warbond is finally on the horizon, letting Super Earth's finest bring Kasrkin-inspired wargear to bear. You'll be able to deploy into the grim darkness of Helldivers 2 missions with a Hot-Shot Marksman Rifle and iconic Bolt Pistol. And heavier firepower in the form of superhot melta weaponry is also up for grabs and looks rather powerful from what has been shown so far. With that, here's everything you need to know about the upcoming Helldivers 2 x Warhammer 40K Legendary Warbond, including when it comes out and what's in it.

Helldivers 2 Warhammer 40K Warbond release date

The Warhammer 40K Warbond is due to arrive in the Superstore on August 12. The exact release time isn't known but expect it to get added at around 12pm UTC.

Since this Warhammer 40K crossover is a Legendary Warbond like the Helldivers 2 Halo Warbond, it will cost 1,500 Helldivers 2 Super Credits instead of the usual 1,000 – you've still got time to farm enough! And remember that because this is a Legendary Warbond, you can't use Helldivers 2 Warbond Tokens to unlock it instead.

All Helldivers 2 Warhammer 40K Warbond gear

The Warhammer Warbond will contain 18 individual items, including three loadout weapons, two armor sets, and several cosmetics. Currently, not a whole lot is known about the specific functions of each weapon, but I can make some educated guesses based on the Warbond trailer and the tabletop counterparts of the Astra Militarum weapons you'll be able to unlock in-game with your Helldivers 2 Medals thanks to this Warbond.

Here are all the items that will be in the Helldivers 2 Warhammer 40K Warbond:

• Weapons:
  • R/40-K Hot-Shot Marksman Rifle: This is a sniper-style configuration of the Hot-Shot Lasgun, so expect this weapon to be a punchy semi-automatic energy weapon with great range.
  • P/40-K Bolt Pistol: This isn't quite the full-fat bolt pistol that Space Marines use, but it should still be quite powerful, hopefully with decent armor penetration but likely hefty recoil.
  • G/40-K Meltamine: A powerful thermal explosive that looks like it'll serve as a throwable anti-tank mine.
• Stratagems:
  • 40-K Meltagun: Fires a short-range thermal beam with significant armor penetration power.
• Armor:
  • TG-8 Sharpshooter armor and helmet: Medium armor with the True Grit passive, which improves handling for all weapons and increases the reload speed of Helldivers 2 Support Weapons by 30%. This armor set resembles the standard uniform of Kasrkin troopers with a green camouflage pattern.
  • TG-122 Demo-Trooper armor and helmet: Heavy armor also with the True Grit passive. This armor set is made to look like the mine-lobbing Kasrkin demo-trooper in an urban camo scheme.
• Cosmetics:
  • Castellan's Green pattern for all five vehicle types (Hellpods, Shuttle, Exosuits, FRVs, and the Bastion), which appears to be inspired by the dark green camo pattern with off-white and red bars seen on Cadian Rogal Dorn tanks.
  • Camo Cloak Cape
  • Camo Cloak Player Card
  • City Fighter's Resolve Cape
  • City Fighter's Resolve Player Card
  • Still Standing Title

Halo Campaign Evolved Terminals can all be collected with just some thorough searching. With that said, they're still easy to miss in a lot of cases, and don't expect your knowledge of the Terminal locations in Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary to help.

Unlike Campaign Evolved's Skulls, Terminals don't make any obvious noise. Also unlike the Skulls, there are only 13 of them – that's one per Halo Campaign Evolved level – so finding and activating them all for some unlockable lore entries isn’t too much of a chore. To help you find every Terminal in Halo Campaign Evolved, I've laid out all 13 locations below.

There are three Halo Campaign Evolved Skulls to collect in each level too, so keep an eye and ear out for those too.

Halo Campaign Evolved Pillar of Autumn Terminal

From Rally Point Charlie, when going through the upper cryo room with the cracked windows.

This is the room where Cortana says, "it looks like the Covenant wanted to catch you napping". Proceed through the next door, then immediately turn left to find another open door leading into a small room with red lights and lots of screens everywhere. The Pillar of Autumn Terminal in Halo Campaign Evolved is at the far end, which unlocks the Approach entry.

Halo Campaign Evolved Halo Terminal

From Rally Point Bravo, as you drive into the "this cave is not a natural formation" Forerunner tunnel.

Drive through the tunnel until you reach the straight section with two small bumps in the road and a large window on your right. Hop out your Warthog, then jump through the window and carefully drop down to the ledge directly below. You'll find the Halo Terminal, Forgotten, down there.

Halo Campaign Evolved Truth and Reconciliation Terminal

From Rally Point Charlie, as you make your way to the brig to find Captain Keyes after clearing out the ship's command room.

After navigating several corridors after the command room, you'll eventually arrive at a large room with several doors around the perimeter. Go through the one immediately on the right as you enter and you'll find yourself in one of the prison rooms. Use the central console to deactivate the forcefields and then head inside the cell almost opposite the console to find the Truth and Reconciliation Terminal and get the Inquisitor lore entry.

Halo Campaign Evolved Silent Cartographer Terminal

From Rally Point Bravo, just after you shut down the security system.

From the security system console, turn around and head to the outer walkway of this area and look for the extended platform. The Status Update Terminal is behind a small Forerunner structure with two pointy bits.

Halo Campaign Evolved Assault on the Control Room Terminal

From Rally Point Charlie, after you've gone up the ice cave.

When you emerge into the canyon from the ice cave, follow the path to the right, then go through the doorway in the central rock formation on your left.

Head through the door and follow the corridor until you reach a large, empty central rooms. From here, go up the ramp that leads onto a balcony, then look to your right once you get onto the balcony. You'll find the Terminal for Assault on the Control Room, Tangent 1, tucked in the corner.

Halo Campaign Evolved 343 Guilty Spark Terminal

From Rally Point Bravo, after backtracking partway through the Forerunner facility while fighting the Flood.

You'll eventually reach a point on your journey through this facility where you have to go through a door with two large, pale symbols on either side.

Head through and turn left to find a cluster of dead marines and all their gear. From here take the next right to go down a dark corridor where you'll find the Halo Campaign Evolved 343 Guilty Spark Terminal – Tangent 2, which carries on from the last one.

Halo Campaign Evolved The Library Terminal

From Rally Point Bravo, after 343 Guilty Spark opens a large door and you're presented with two consoles, with a prompt directing you to the one on the right.

Ignore the objective and activate the console on the left to open a doorway on the left.

Head through and then go through the small hole in the Flood-infested wall. This will lead you into a small room featuring a dead marine and the Library Terminal, which rounds out the Tangent series into a trilogy.

Halo Campaign Evolved Two Betrayals Terminal

From Rally Point Alpha, right after destroying all the attacking Sentinels.

Rather than heading out the door straight ahead, head right and run around the ring walkway instead. You'll run into the Two Betrayals Terminal here, unlocking the Alone entry.

Halo Campaign Evolved Keyes Terminal

From Rally Point Charlie, when trying to ascend to a higher deck in the shuttle bay.

After dropping off to the ground floor of the shuttle bay, follow the objective marker through the door then right and up the inclined corridor – there are always Flood enemies and two Hunters in here. When you get to the first junction halfway up the corridor, turn left then left again to find the Terminal for Keyes in Halo Campaign Evolved.

Halo Campaign Evolved The Maw Terminal

From Rally Point Alpha, after clearing out the mess hall room.

From the entrance to the mess hall, bear right and you'll find the Arrival Terminal in a nook on top of some UNSC boxes.

Halo Campaign Evolved Boarding Action Terminal

From Rally Point Delta, after you've taken the gravity lift upwards to head for the Triumph of Tolerance's upper decks.

This grav lift will put you right in front of the corridor and doorway you’re meant to go through for the final combat encounter of the mission, but the terminal is behind you. Turn to face the opposite direction and then go through the door on the right to find the Heavy Burden Terminal.

Halo Campaign Evolved The Most Dangerous Game Terminal

Rally Point Charlie, after rescuing the marines from the brig.

Fight through the rest of the ship following the objective markers until you reach a room with several windows on the left that let you see many sarcophagus-like devices in a large room. Instead of going through the next door, head through the one on the right and you'll find a storage room full of UNSC gear, including the Halo Campaign Evolved Terminal for this mission, Penitent Report.

Halo Campaign Evolved Heavy Burden Terminal

From Rally Point Bravo, immediately after the cutscene where Chief and Johnson get the starholo data.

At the start of this Rally Point, you'll be facing a pair of doors on the far side of this room on the ground floor. Go through either of them to reach another pair of doors. Go through either of those doors to get inside a Covenant armory, then go through the next door to reach a relatively small storage room. The Terminal for Heavy Burden is hidden behind the Covenant equipment on the left.

These Terminals are just one of the many Halo Campaign Evolved changes compared to the original. Bear in mind that finding them all is also going to add a fairly significant amount of time to how long it takes you to beat Halo Campaign Evolved too.

These Anime Astral Simulator codes grant some essential rewards, including potions for boosting your power, luck, and more. With your stats buffed, you can then defeat bosses more quickly, thus earning more rewards, eventually leading you to new worlds, new pets, and new bosses.

What's more, Anime Astral Simulator is one of the rare Roblox experiences that's pretty much entirely free-to-play, allowing you to swap the in-game shop currency from Robux to F2P Tickets, a ton of which you can get by redeeming these rewards - so let's get to it.

As the list above shows, Anime Astral Simulator codes are incredibly generous - and they also last a long time, too. Each code grants not just one reward, but usually one of each potion at either level 1 or 2 and a stack of F2P Tickets, which can be exchanged for anything in the shop - simply toggle the currency type at the top of the shop window from Robux to Tickets. Occasionally, you'll also get some Pet Tickets to redeem for useful passive buddies.

The Halo Campaign Evolved Skulls and Terminal found in the first level, The Pillar of Autumn, aren't too difficult to find, for the most part. The main issue is that a couple of Skulls are found so early in the game that you'll no doubt run right past them the first time you play. So, to help you find them quickly, I've explained exactly where to find the Terminal and all Skulls in the first level of Halo Campaign Evolved below.

Halo Campaign Evolved Pillar of Autumn Skull 1

From Rally Point Alpha, the start of the level.

At the very start of the level as soon as soon as you have control over Master Chief, turn around and head over to the two large, round containers towards the left side of the back of the room. Climb on top of these containers, then jump across to the nearby upper walkway. Walk to the other end and you'll find the Speed Limit Skull.

Halo Campaign Evolved Pillar of Autumn Skull 2

From Rally Point Alpha, as soon as the marine says Cortana needs you at the bridge.

The next room the marine will lead you into is an armory, and the Magnified Skull is on top of the central weapon rack near the middle of the room.

Halo Campaign Evolved Pillar of Autumn Skull 3

From Rally Point Bravo, after the cutscene where Master Chief meets Keyes at the bridge.

After this cutscene finishes, turn around and head back into the bridge. Go to the main control area with the glass canopy and the two pilots in their chairs and drop down into the floorspace below them. This is where you'll find the Perspective Skull, and there's a ladder you can use to get out.

Halo Campaign Evolved Pillar of Autumn Terminal

From Rally Point Charlie, when going through the upper cryo room with the cracked windows.

You'll know you're in the right room if Cortana says, "it looks like the Covenant wanted to catch you napping". From here, carry on through the next door, then immediately turn left to find another open door leading into another room with red lights and lots of screens. The Approach Terminal is at the far end.

Finding all these collectibles also takes a while, so expect it to add a few hours to how long it takes to beat Halo Campaign Evolved. If you've played Halo CE in The Master Chief Collection, you will have noticed that all the Skulls are in completely different places to that, which is one of the many Halo Campaign Evolved changes.

This Halo 1 remake is out now in early access but the full Halo Campaign Evolved release time is still to come. In the meantime, make sure you've got your Halo Campaign Evolved pre-load sorted.

Your carry capacity and inventory in Dune Awakening starts off limited to 35 slots and 175 pounds of weight, which is a respectable amount, but clearly could be more, especially when you're going on long journeys around the Hagga Basin looking to acquire large amounts of resources. Sadly there's no way at time of writing to directly increase your carry capacity specifically in Dune Awakening, but there are options that can effectively serve a similar purpose, as I'll explain below.

Can you increase your Dune Awakening inventory?

While there's no way at time of writing to increase either the number of slots or the maximum carry capacity weight of your inventory, such as the various Dune Awakening Skills, you can at least move more items around at once by building greater Inventory Modules for various vehicles, and then using those vehicles frequently.

Pretty much all of the Dune Awakening vehicles have a built-in inventory that can be expanded even further by adding an Inventory module to it (researched as normal and then built in the Vehicle Fabricator). There are limits to this, but it serves as a way to transport far greater amounts of items.

The major limitation is that any vehicle with items in its inventory cannot be stored on you using the Vehicle Backup Tool. You need to empty its inventory before you can effectively pocket it, but if you feel brave enough to park your Sandbike or Ornithopter outside a bandit camp or crashed ship, you can then bring the loot you find back to it and store it in the trunk.

It's not been made clear if there'll be new ways to hold more items added to the game in the future, as the choice to make inventory so limited is clearly an intentional one that's part of the whole "struggling survivalist making hard choices" vibe.

There are quite a lot of Halo Campaign Evolved changes compared to the original, including completely new missions and weapons, sprinting, and accessibility options. There are plenty of headline tweaks and differences that Halo Studios have made for this Combat Evolved remake to bring it up to modern standards. But there are lots of other minor changes that might slip past seasoned Halo players. If you're curious about what's new and different from the original, here are all the changes I've noticed in Halo Campaign Evolved.

New Halo Campaign Evolved features

Halo Campaign Evolved includes several major gameplay features that aren't available in the original game or the Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary remaster in The Master Chief Collection:

• Operation Meteorite bonus missions: On top of the remade campaign, this remake features three new prequel missions that tell the story of Master Chief and Sergeant Johnson during Operation Meteorite, adding a few more hours to how long it takes to beat Halo Campaign Evolved. Taking place one year before the events of the campaign, this operation sees the duo infiltrate and investigate a Covenant research vessel. Brutes make an exclusive appearance in these missions, wielding Spikers and Brute Plasma Rifles.
• Campaign Remix: Campaign Remix is a new mode that lets you replay missions with randomized elements, including available weapons, enemy factions, and active Halo Campaign Evolved Skulls. It is unlocked after you collect any three Skulls.
• Four-player online co-op: Halo Campaign Evolved is the only way you can officially play some form of Halo 1 with three other players in online co-op. The game also supports crossplay and cross-progression, so you can play with anyone on any platform and even play on any platform without losing progress. You can also play Campaign Evolved in two-player split-screen on consoles only.
• Difficulty and accessibility settings: The usual Easy, Normal, Heroic, and Legendary difficulty options are still there, but you can also create difficulty presets that adjust things like friendly fire, damage resistance, and shield recharge rate – this is all on top of Skulls too! As for accessibility, there are plenty of changes you can make to the aiming crosshair, HUD, subtitles, input rebinding, and lots more.

New Halo Campaign Evolved weapons, vehicles, and enemies

The Halo Combat Evolved sandbox of weapons and vehicles, as well as the array of enemies you'll face, have been considerably expanded for this remake:

• Expanded weapon sandbox: The Energy Sword, Sentinel Beam, Fuel Rod Gun, SMG, and Needle Rifle have all been added to the main campaign. The Battle Rifle, Brute Plasma Rifle, and Spiker are exclusive to the new bonus missions, and the Needle Rifle is significantly more common in them too.
• You can drive Wraiths now: The Covenant Wraith tank is now pilotable in some levels, such as Assault on the Control Room. Most vehicles can also be hijacked now, but note that this works both ways, so the Covenant can hijack you right back!
• Equipment can be stored and used whenever you like: Unlike in the original where Overshields and Active Camo would activate as soon as you pick them up, Campaign Evolved treats them like Halo 3-style equipment pieces that must be deployed with a button press.
• Jackal snipers have been added (oh god): Jackal snipers are an infamously lethal foe in practically every Halo game except for the first one. Campaign Evolved rectifies this, adding them into plenty of missions.
• Flood Tank Forms join the fight: The large Tank Form Flood, first seen in Halo 3, appear in Campaign Evolved. They're rare and pose quite a serious threat, similar to a Covenant Hunter.

Halo Campaign Evolved gameplay changes

Halo Campaign Evolved also introduces some key gameplay change over the original that mostly serve to modernize the game:

• Sprint: As in Halo Studios' previous games, Master Chief has a dedicated sprint button in Campaign Evolved, letting him get around the ring a bit faster on foot.
• Smart-link aiming: While weapons like the Magnum and Sniper Rifle all had scopes in the original game, now Halo Campaign Evolved weapons benefit from some form of aiming thanks to the smart-link system that Halo 5 Guardians introduced. It essentially amounts to a small amount of zoom (usually 1.4x) that helps you more accurately shoot enemies that are slightly further away than is ideal.
• No health kits: Master Chief's health now regenerates like his shields. The original game's health kits that were necessary for healing Chief are therefore absent in Halo Campaign Evolved.
• Improved waypoints and objective tracking: Objectives and their markers are now almost always visible on screen, helping you stay on mission and navigate levels more easily. You can adjust how these appear if you find them getting in the way.
• Slightly redesigned levels: The Library has received the most significant changes to make it easier to navigate and more varied, with new areas and light bridge mechanics. Otherwise, most levels remain almost entirely the same in terms of layout, with some receiving small tweaks. As an example, the Forerunner cave that you drive the Warthog through in Halo no longer has that weird ramp section and is now just one continuous path.
• Skulls and Terminals: Collectible Skull modifiers and lore-based Halo Campaign Evolved Terminals weren't in the original game but got added for the Combat Evolved Anniversary remaster. For Campaign Evolved there are even more of them to collect, with 42 Skulls (three per level for a total of 39 plus three Campaign Remix ones) and 13 Terminals (one per level). They're also all in different places compared to the Anniversary remaster, so your memories of those won't help.
• No PvP multiplayer: As the Campaign Evolved subtitle suggests, this game features only the campaign – no arena multiplayer.

Halo Campaign Evolved visual and audio changes

The most obvious change of all over the original is the visual overhaul, but there are plenty of other changes to things like dialogue and cutscenes that might go over your head:

• Updated graphics: Halo Campaign Evolved is a complete remake of the original Combat Evolved in Unreal Engine 5, so it benefits from the advanced graphical technology of that engine for stunningly rendered photorealistic textures and lighting. But, as I note in my Halo Campaign Evolved review, it does lead to some typical UE5 performance issues.
• New and altered dialogue and cutscenes: Narratively, Halo Campaign Evolved is the same as the original, but Halo Studios has added and adjusted plenty of dialogue and cutscenes. The new lines are mostly tutorials and explanation from Cortana and other NPCs. Some lines, such as "I don't keep it loaded, son, you'll have to find ammo as you go" from Keyes, and Cortana telling 343 Guilty Spark to "sod off", have been cut, however.
• The original Chief and Cortana voice actors are back…: Steve Downes and Jen Taylor, who voice Master Chief and Cortana respectively, have re-recorded their lines, including some new ones as mentioned above.
• …But Captain Keyes and Sergeant Johnson have been recast: Keith Silverstein, who you may know as Torbjorn from Overwatch, now plays Keyes, while Keston John, who stars in Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and 7 and Yakuza 0 Director's Cut, voices Sergeant Johnson.
• The Covenant now speak English: Elites have various combat barks in human languages that let you know how fervently they fight for the Prophets and the Covenant. It also sounds like Grunt dialogue from Halo 2 and 3 has been repurposed. Overall, there's a lot less "wort, wort, wort".

How long it takes to beat Halo Campaign Evolved isn't all that different from 2001's Halo Combat Evolved, clocking in at roughly 10 hours long. However, this remake of the original packs in a few extras that will add a few hours to your completion time – namely a three-mission bonus campaign and plenty of Skulls and Terminals – though it somewhat depends on what your definition of 'complete' is. With that in mind, here are some estimations for how long Halo Campaign Evolved is based on how much you play.

How long is Halo Campaign Evolved?

The average playthrough for Halo Campaign Evolved is about 10 hours, but with things like difficulty, prior knowledge from the original, and collectibles to find, your completion time is affected by many factors:

• Main campaign: 8-12 hours
• Main campaign + bonus missions: 10-14 hours
• 100% completion: 20+ hours

As mentioned, the core campaign – that's the 10 main missions from The Pillar of Autumn to The Maw – should take you 10 hours, give or take a couple. If you're charging through each mission on Easy difficulty or have played the classic Halo Combat Evolved already, you may even be able to get through it much faster. Conversely if you're committing to a Heroic or Legendary playthrough, plenty of deaths will add up to a couple of extra hours.

The Operation Meteorite campaign, comprising three prequel missions featuring Master Chief and Sergeant Johnson, adds a couple more hours of story content, but you should still get through the whole thing in under 15 hours. I completed all 13 missions on Heroic difficulty in about 13 hours, having also played Combat Evolved a few times before.

Finally, for those that commit to finding all 39 Halo Campaign Evolved Skulls and all 13 Halo Campaign Evolved Terminals spread across each mission, you'll be spending several more hours replaying and scouring each level. If you're going for the Platinum Trophy too, there are plenty of tough challenges that will likely take you multiple attempts to complete, so don't expect a quick and easy walk in the park!

While the run time of the main campaign remains roughly the same. compared to the original game, there are many other Halo Campaign Evolved changes to be aware of.

Halo Campaign Evolved pre-loading is now available for all platforms and all editions, so whether you're on PS5, PC, or Xbox Series X, you can get the game installed now, ready for the full launch. With the early access period still running, many players can still upgrade, download, and start playing right now, but you may as well get set for July 28 instead. With that, I've explained everything you need to get done before Halo Campaign Evolved's full launch, including pre-loading, so that you can dive in as soon as possible.

How to pre-load Halo Campaign Evolved

To start pre-installing Halo, you obviously must have pre-ordered the Standard Edition of the game on your platform of choice. Bear in mind that if you've got the Premium Edition or the Premium Edition upgrade, you can install and start playing the game now before the Halo Campaign Evolved release time thanks to the included early access period.

With the game pre-ordered, your platform's storefront should automatically begin pre-installing the game right away, assuming you have automatic downloads switched on. Otherwise, check the Halo Campaign Evolved page on your platform's store front or your game library and you should be able to start the early download from there. To ensure you have enough space for it, you should have about 100GB of free space on your console or PC's storage.

I also highly recommend making sure you get your Microsoft account details ready – or make an account if you don't have one while you wait – so that you can get your account linked and start playing Halo with minimal hassle. You can't play the game without an account, and it's used to make crossplay and cross-progression function, so you can play Halo Campaign Evolved with whoever and on whatever eligible platforms you have available to you.

The Halo Campaign Evolved release time has almost arrived, letting all players dive in from July 28 and not just those with the Premium Edition. With a global simultaneous release for all platforms, everyone will be able to log into Halo Campaign Evolved from the same time, but that works out as a different time for each region due to time zones. So, if you want to know when you'll be able to start playing, I've laid out some of the Halo CE remake release times below.

Halo Campaign Evolved release time

Halo Campaign Evolved releases globally on July 28 at 3pm UTC. That means all players, whether you're on Xbox Series X, PS5, or PC will be able to play from that time. Here's how that translates to different time zones so you know exactly when you can play:

• US Pacific: 8AM PDT on July 28
• US Eastern: 11AM EDT on July 28
• UK: 4PM BST on July 28
• Central Europe: 5PM CEST on July 28
• Eastern Australia: 1AM AEST on July 29
• New Zealand: 3AM NZST on July 29

There's not long left to get your Halo Campaign Evolved pre-load sorted so that you're ready to play as soon as the launch time arrives. And to make sure you can hop in without a hitch, I also recommend making sure that you have your Microsoft account details ready so that you can link it to your platform account, particularly if you're going to play on PS5 or Steam (obviously now is a good time to make one if you don't have one).

This is essential for crossplay and cross-progression, letting you join your friends regardless of what platform they're on and change platforms without losing progress and unlocks.

Halo Campaign Evolved early access release time

If you've pre-ordered the Premium Edition of Halo Campaign Evolved you can hop into Halo Campaign Evolved right now but there are mere hours left of early access. This period started on July 23 at 3pm UTC and will last until the full launch on the 28th when everyone else gets to play.

You might also want to know how long Halo Campaign Evolved is, particularly if you're planning on 100%-ing it.

Arrakeen in Dune Awakening is famous for being the effective Imperium capital of the planet, but in the game it serves as a combat-free hub zone and essential location for meeting many of the game's key factions and trainers. Arrakeen can be accessed fairly early on if you know how, though you probably won't need to visit until the mid and late game. Still, whenever you want to get there, here's how to find Arrakeen and all the methods to get there in Dune Awakening.

How to travel to Arrakeen in Dune Awakening

To get to Arrakeen in Dune Awakening, you have two options:

1. Use the Ornithopter Taxi service. This is accessible from any tradepost for 2,500 Solaris per outwards trip, including from the Dune Awakening Griffin's Reach Tradepost. Inside, talk to the NPC standing next to the hologram of the Ornithopter in the corner, and they'll offer to take you to certain hub zones and key areas. Pick Arrakeen, then pay the fee, and you'll fast travel to Arrakeen accordingly.
2. Fly your own Ornithopter. Once you've unlocked your own Ornithopter as part of the progression path of Dune Awakening Vehicles, simply fly it to the limit of the Hagga Basin map zone, and you'll be given the option to fly to Arrakeen for free.

Once at Arrakeen, you'll be able to either speak to the Taxi service or interact with your Ornithopter (both on the Eastern-most corner of the hub zone) to return to the main map. If you take the taxi service, returning back to the Hagga Basin does not cost you anything, it's only the journey out that has a price attached.

Arrakeen map

Above is the full map of Arrakeen in Dune Awakening. It's not especially large - effectively being one decent-sized building - but it's a compact area with plenty of useful characters, including traders, faction representatives, and many of the Advanced Dune Awakening trainers.

If it's your first time in Arakeen, speak to the House Athar Majordomo on the upper level, and Dr. Shaffat in the South section. These both give you quests that can be fulfilled simply by running around Arrakeen and talking to the marked NPCs without ever having to leave, and both grant you enough Solaris to easily make up for the cost of travelling there.

Back in the deserts, for those thinking about creating a new character, find out if you picked the best class in Dune Awakening! Or avoid the perils of Shai-Hulud and find out everything you need to know about the Dune Awakening Sandworms!

DBD Chaos Shuffle, along with 2v8, is one of the most prominent limited-time modes added to the horror game. It only comes around occasionally, so I for one am always looking forward to the next iteration of the LTM.

By randomizing your perk loadout in every match, you never know what's going to happen - especially since the other four players also have random perks, too. Not only is this just a recipe for fun, but it's also a great way to learn some of the more obscure perks you might not use much or even own, so here's when DBD Chaos Shuffle returns next.

When is DBD Chaos Shuffle back?

DBD Chaos Shuffle returns from Tuesday, July 28, 2026, at 8AM PDT / 11AM EDT / 4PM BST, and end at the same time on Tuesday, August 4, when it will be replaced by the Lights Out modifier.

This is just a short period of one week, so make sure you don't miss the return of Dead by Daylight Chaos Shuffle. The reason this event is so short is that it makes up just one third of the Summer of Screams, with Chaos Shuffle, Lights Out, and DBD's 2v8 mode each making a return for one week only.

As I've mentioned above, Chaos Shuffle randomly selects your four perks, but you can still choose your item, add-ons, and Offering. You won't know what your perks are until you load into the game, so I recommend using the first few seconds of the match, before play begins, to read your perk descriptions. You can do this by entering the menu and hovering your mouse or controller cursor over each perk. You can look at these at any time, but you will be out of commission while you do so.

This latest Chaos Shuffle event comes ahead of the next DBD update, which is coming soon, boasting heaps of thrilling new content, so redeem the latest DBD codes to ensure you're stocked up on Bloodpoints to spend on the next new character.

To access the Gilded Ruin Camo in Call of Duty, you need to pre-order Modern Warfare 4 (Standard or Vault Edition) prior to July 23, 2026 and the launch of Black Ops 7 Season 05 to instantly receive the Gilded Pearl Camo Pack. This will give you immediate access to the Moonlit Pearl Universal Camo, and unlocks the challenge to earn the Gilded Ruin Weapon Camo on July 23, 2026 at 12noon PDT / 3pm EDT / 8pm BST.

If you place a pre-order after this time you will still receive the Gilded Pearl Camo Pack and unlock this challenge, though your chances of earning the Serialized Gilded Ruin Weapon Camo will be significantly reduced due to the time-sensitive nature of the task. Don't forget that pre-ordering the game will also get you Early Access to the Modern Warfare 4 beta from August 21, 2026, a full week ahead of the Open Beta.

How to earn the Serialized Gilded Ruin Camo in Call of Duty

To unlock the Gilded Ruin Weapon Camo in Call of Duty, you need to complete the Gilded Pearl Camo Pack Challenge which involves earning 5,000 Skulls across various game modes in Black Ops 7 and Warzone. Skulls are awarded per Elimination, at different rates per game mode as outlined below:

• Endgame: Defeat enemies for 5 Skulls per Elimination
• Multiplayer: Defeat other players for 10 Skulls per Elimination
• Zombies: Defeat enemies for 1 Skull per Elimination
• Warzone: Defeat other players for 30 Skulls per Elimination

You can swap between different game modes during this challenge and your earned Skulls will carry over, as there is just a single overall Skull Score being tracked. Once you hit 5,000 Skulls in total, claim the Gilded Ruin Universal Camo and if you were one of the first 100,000 players to reach the target then you will also receive the Serialized Gilded Ruin Camo with your unique serial number attached!

After all 100,000 of the serial numbers have been allocated, completing the challenge will just unlock the standard Gilded Ruin Universal Camo. This can be used alongside the Moonlit Pearl Universal Camo in Black Ops 7, then when Modern Warfare 4 launches on October 23, 2026 both will be unlocked instantly for use there too.

The Modern Warfare 4 beta dates have been announced, so we now know when we can get hands-on with the latest shooter instalment. As always, there will be an initial Early Access period for players who have pre-ordered the game, followed by an Open Beta where everyone can check out Modern Warfare 4 ahead of its October release without having to commit to a purchase.

Following a recent blog post we have some early intel on the MW4 beta, including the dates when it will be running and the requirements to join it, though exact times haven't been confirmed yet. If you're keen to get involved, then here's everything we know so far about the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 beta and how to access it.

Pre-ordering the game also gives access to the challenge that unlocks the Call of Duty Serialized Gilded Ruin Camo, so check out the details here.

When are the Modern Warfare 4 beta dates?

The Modern Warfare 4 beta dates are divided between two sessions as follows:

• Early Access
  • Start: Friday, August 21

The exception to this is Nintendo Switch 2, where pre-orders don't open until August 28, but at that point Switch 2 players can join everyone else in the Open Beta period where no pre-order is required to take part.

What's in the Modern Warfare 4 beta?

The full details of what's included in the Modern Warfare 4 beta haven't been revealed yet, but we know that there will be a selection of multiplayer maps and modes available from small-scale 3v3 skirmishes to huge tactical battles.

When will the Modern Warfare 4 beta end?

The Modern Warfare 4 beta is officially scheduled to end on Tuesday, September 1, when the Open Beta draws to a close. The previous Black Ops 7 beta did get extended by an extra day though, so this end point isn't set in stone yet depending on how the rest of the MW4 beta period goes.

Finding Ancient Bone in Palworld is not easy, as it's perhaps one of the rarest resources in the game, found only in one very small, secluded location. There's not even a Fast Travel point on the island where you get it to make life easier. So you'll either need one of the new flying mounts or a water one to get there every time.

You can only obtain Ancient Bone at the No. 3 Wildlife Sanctuary, which is a forcefield-protected island off the northeast coast of the Desiccated Dunes. However, once you finally make your way over the ocean, your problems are far from over, as I can explain below.

Where is Palworld Ancient Bone?

Palworld Ancient Bone can only be found at the No. 3 Wildlife Sanctuary, which is off the coast of the Dessicated Desert. You'll find the resource by mining skeletal remains in this area - note that skeletal remains found in other areas of Palpagos don't drop Ancient Bone.

The No. 3 Wildlife Sanctuary in the forcefield-protected island to the northeast of the Dessicated Desert, and there is no Fast Travel point there, so you'll need to use either the Deep Sand Dunes or The Furthest Flats travel points.

Once you get to the island, getting Ancient Bone is still far from easy, as there are level 50+ Alpha Pals roaming the area, and security drones crossing the skies. As a result you'll need to stealth around the area to get in and out alive - by crouching and avoiding the red scanner of the drones you can make your way to skeletal remains you can see, mine them, and get out - but always keep one eye on your surroundings until you're in the clear.

Palworld Cryogenic Coolant is required to make some of the most powerful cold-resistant items in the game. I'd have thought a coolant would have been required for heat-resistant gear, but clearly I'm wrong.

If you're after some of the best armor to take to Mount Obsidian or Feybreak Island, then, you might be hunting high and low for this Cryogenic Coolant. Unfortunately, looking for it to drop around the Palworld environment is going to leave you wanting, as this item can only be crafted at your base.

How to get Palworld Cryogenic Coolant

The recipe for Palworld Cryogenic Coolant can be unlocked in the Technology Tree at level 31, and it can only be crafted at a Production Assembly Line.

While it looks relatively simply to make - you only need Pal Fluids and Ice Organs to make it, both of which are easy to get by farming ice and water-type Pals like Kingpen - this mid-level item can't simply be crafted at a normal workbench. You instead need a Production Assembly Line.

This is unlocked at Level 29 and requires some hefty resources to build: 100x Ingots, 10x Cement, 5x Wooden Board, and 20x Nails. Let's hope your Base Pals have been hard at work.

With the Production Assembly Line in place and a few Ice Organs and Pal Fluids in your chests, you can now make Cryogenic Coolant. You'll need it to craft any of the following items:

• Ghangler Saddle (Level 31)
• Water Grenade (Level 33)
• Quivern Saddle (Level 36)
• Jormuntide Saddle (level 39)
• Cold-Resistant Refined Metal Armor (Level 41)
• Whalaska Saddle (Level 42)
• Quivern Botan Saddle (Level 45)
• Cold-Resistant Pal Metal Armor (Level 50)
• Cold-Resistant Plasteel Armor (Level 54)
• Plasma Multicutter (Level 54)
• Powerful Fishing Magnet (Level 61)
• Cold-Resistant Hexolite Armor (Level 64)
• Overheat Rifle (Level 64)
• Combat SMG (Level 68)
• Cold-Resistant Ancient Armor (Level 77)

Now you've got an assembly line going, put those Pals to work. To make some of the items on this list, you'll also need to find Palworld Hexolite Quartz, and you'll need some Ancient Civilization Parts, too.

The Subnautica 2 Bioscanner is a crucial item used to reveal valuable information about the underwater wildlife so you can use it to your advantage. Using it allow you to unlock a number of handy active and passive Biomods - but you might be having trouble getting your scanner to work.

This is because the Bioscanner is actually an upgraded version of the standard scanner you fabricate in the early game, and without this important modification, your scanner won't unlock Biomods. You even need to go and rescan creatures you've already processed with your basic scanner in order for them to count, so here's how to get the Subnautica 2 Bioscanner modification.

How to get the Subnautica 2 Bioscanner mod

To get the Subnautica 2 Bioscanner, you must first find one located in a Cicada Wreck in the third area of the map. It's easy to find once you progress enough that the PDA shows you the location of Iso's Black Box.

Using a Repair Tool, fix the door blocking your entrance, then follow the path through the wreckage. If you get stuck, look for vents in the floor or holes in the wall. In the final room (which is horribly disconcerting due to being sideways), you'll find the Bioscanner sitting just by the exit door.

Like many other blueprints unlocks in the survival game, scanning the Bioscanner here unlocks the blueprint for you to craft your own. However, rather than a standard blueprint, this is the blueprint for a modification to your existing scanner.

Once you've unlocked the Bioscanner modification, you need a Modification Station and the following crafting ingredients:

• Your scanner
• 2x Enameled Glass
• 3x Conduit Crystals

Luckily, if you're having any trouble with these, I've got guides on finding Conduit Crystals and crafting Enameled Glass in Subnautica 2 to help you out. If you haven't unlocked the Modification Station blueprint yet, you'll also find one of those in the same Cicada Wreck as the Bioscanner, just before the vent, and there's another in the Visitor Center back near the lifepod.

With your new modification installed, you can now use your Bioscanner to unlock the secrets of the creatures and alien technology surrounding you. Then, scan Subnautica 2 leviathans, Sandspears, and more to unlock some of the best Subnautica 2 Biomods.

Palworld's Mozzarina isn't exactly one of the most desirable Pals for combat, but it is one of the most important animals for ranching purposes. This cute cow drops milk, which itself is required to make cakes, which are then required for breeding Pals.

This might be why it's a little harder to come by than most of the other low-level Pals. While sometimes it seems you can't move for Foxparks or Herbils, Mozzarinas are only found in an area you might not bother to access for some time. It's a low-level area, but there's not much driving you there, so you may go some time without finding a Palworld Mozzarina. When it's time to bake a cake, then, here's where to go.

Palworld 1.0 Mozzarina location

If you've already encountered a Mozzarina, for example in the Small Settlement, it should appear in your Paldeck, where it shows the location as Marsh Island and Eastern Wild Island. This is correct, but the best place to look is right near the Natural Bridge fast travel point, along the marsh island coast to the south. For some reason, these rotund milk makers seem to like lounging on the beach - who doesn't?

Once you've found one or two, you'll need to set them to work in your ranch in order to start farming milk. That's not all you'll need for Palworld breeding, though - you also need eggs, honey, and flour. Chikipi drops eggs while ranching, and honey can be obtained from Beegarde or Cinnamoth. You'll need a wheat pasture and a mill to get your hands on some flour.

The Black Flag Resynced Isla Providencia location is a Mayan temple island that the Nassau Warehouse treasure map leads to. The problem? The Animus doesn't let you go there unless you've completed a particular quest in Black Flag Resynced's main story, resulting in a forced desynchronization if you attempt to sail the Jackdaw to the island's shore. So, to help you reach Isla Providencia and complete the relevant treasure map, I've explained how to unlock it and where the buried treasure is below.

How to get to Isla Providencia in Black Flag Resynced

Isla Providencia is a Mayan Temple island on the southern border of the map, southwest of Kingston, at (487, 23). To gain access to the island, you need to play through almost two-thirds of the main questline to get to the Vainglorious Bastards quest – you can check out the full Black Flag Resynced mission list here to see how far along you are.

Complete this short and simple sailing quest and you'll then be spat out on Isla Providencia for the next mission called 'Mutiny'. Once you complete this mission, you can travel to and from Isla Providencia as you please.

Black Flag Resynced Isla Providencia treasure location

Now that you've hopefully made it to Isla Providencia, you can dig up the buried treasure. You need to head to the three palm trees clustered together near a small rocky outcrop along the beach at (487, 11).

The dig spot is right in front of the middle tree, so follow the button prompt to rip the chest from the sand, bagging you the Govenor's Outfit – one of many Black Flag Resynced outfits – and 2,000 Reales.

Note that you can dig this treasure up during the 'Mutiny' quest or you can come back to Isla Providencia later to dig it up. While you're this far south, you may also want to look for the Black Flag Resynced Grand Cayman chest and clear out all the chests in the Black Flag Resynced Anotto Bay smuggler's den.

Black Flag Stalking Zones appear on certain Assassin Contracts as an additional challenge option to earn a little extra money. The trouble is Black Flag Resynced never actually says what a stalking zone is, leaving you to work it out for yourself. Fortunately, the answer is simple and, if it seems weird, remember this game is technically 13 years old and it all goes back to how they did things in the old days...

How to assassinate someone from a Stalking Zone in Black Flag

A stalking zone in Black Flag Resynced is just any bush or grass that hides you. If Edward appears with a white outline, you're in a stalking zone. As you can see from the shot above, it's a very technical distinction leaving Edward very obviously sticking out while completely concealed.

The reason for this is that it's a throwback to the original game where stealth wasn't actually optional, and was instead only triggered by entering specific areas like tall grass and bushes. This stalking zone system was introduced in Assassin's Creed 3 and a dedicated crouch button didn't actually arrive until Unity. So, adding a crouch button is one of the more notable changes in Black Flag Resynced.

Confusingly, you can also get Assassin Contracts where the challenge is to do it from stealth. In those cases you can do it from corners, overhead branches etc - anywhere where you're hidden or undetected, including stalking zones. However, the stalking zone criteria only works from bushes and plants that give you the white outline. There are 30 of these murdery side quests, forming quite a big chunk of the Black Flag Resynced mission list, so you'll be looking for the right spot plenty of times. And, if you have your heart set on completing them all, that will play into how long it takes to beat Black Flag Resynced.

Pure Quartz is one of two types of Palworld quartz, along with Hexolite Quartz. Both have different uses and are mined in different biomes, so to help you avoid confusion, I've got the locations of both, and how to farm them right here.

Both types of quartz are incredibly valuable, owing to their inclusion some pretty essential high-level blueprints, such as Hexolite armor and the all-important Circuit Board. So, if you're having trouble locating either, here's everything you need to know.

How to get Palworld Pure Quartz

Pure Quartz is found in the Astra Mountains in Palworld, which is a challenging area to navigate due to the extreme cold. Fortunately, there are a few Pure Quartz deposits in the grassy areas along the eastern coast, which aren't as cold, making for easier mining.

As always with any ores, you could also be sure to have a mining Pal in your party, such as Tombat, who will aid will collecting the mineral faster.

Once you've found some, Pure Quartz is used for a few recipes, but the most important is the Circuit Board, which itself is then used in electrical blueprints like advanced workbenches and assembly lines.

You can farm Palworld Pure Quartz at your base once you reach Technology Level 52 and unlock the Pure Quartz Quarry.

How to get Palworld Hexolite Quartz

Palworld Hexolite Quartz is found on Feybreak Island, and this pretty mineral can be used for crafting some pretty decent armor, but only once you reach Technology Level 59. The good news is that there's also a Hexolite Quartz Mine available on the Ancient Technology tree at Level 63, so you can farm plenty of the resource from the safety of your own home - or, rather, get Pals to do it for you.

For help farming other materials, check out our guides on Palworld leather, hardwood, and Meteorite Fragments.

The Black Flag mission list features 51 main missions in total, including 8 new ones made for Resynced specifically. There are also around 61 side missions across things like Assassin Contracts, Officer Quests, collectibles and so on, bringing that grand total up to roughly 145.

That breaks down roughly like this:

• 51 main missions
  • 6 side missions
    • Former Glories
    • Mayan Mysteries (16 missions)
    • Damn Fine Gear (16 missions)
    • Blackbeard's Treasure
    • Captain Stede Bonnet
    • Art Lover
  • 11 Officer Quests
  • 30 Assassin Contracts
  • 15 Naval Contracts

Of course there are some semantics involved here. Damn Fine Gear is a mission, to complete 16 other missions, so I've counted that as 17. There are also various other things to do in the world - like the 12 Black Flag Resynced Treasure Maps, 10 Forts you need to destroy, or the 26 Sea Shanties to chase and collect and so on. Those I haven't counted and instead have focused on the map marker objectives you can find and tick off. Obviously, what you do go after will affect how long it takes to beat Black Flag Resynced too.

Here's how that all breaks down below

Black Flag main missions

There are 51 main missions in Black Flag, an increase from the original game thanks to 8 new quests added to the original 43. These missions are spread across 12 sequences, with the new content unlocking at the end of Sequence 11.

Black Flag side missions

There are multiple side missions and objectives to find and complete in Black Flag, which are listed below. However there are six general side quests, some of which group together into longer mission chains:

1. Former Glories - upgrade everything at your Great Inagua mansion.
2. Mayan Mysteries - Complete all 16 Black Flag Resynced Mayan Stones and collect the armor.
3. Damn Fine Gear - Get all four Black Flag Resynced Templar Keys and unlock the armor.
4. Blackbeard's Treasure - Find the X on the Black Flag Resynced Blackbeard's Treasure map (new for Resynced).
5. Captain Stede Bonnet - Find Stede Bonnet's ship and crew (new for Resynced).
6. Art Lover - Find 30 pieces of art for the Butler at your Great Inagua mansion.

Former Glories and Art Lover are basically collectible missions, as are Mayan Mysteries and Damn Fine Gear, technically - albeit with more to them than just collecting things. Captain Stede Bonnet and Blackbeard's Treasure are new mission that expand elements of the original game's plot and the respective characters.

Let's take a look at everything in a little more detail:

Officer side missions

There are five Black Flag Resynced Officers you can unlock. Two are mandatory unlocks as you progress through the main campaign but three have their own mission chains with 11 missions in total:

Templar Hunts

The mission Damn Fine Gear includes a series of Templar Hunts - a sequence of 16 assassin missions you can undertake to get the Black Flag Templar Keys needed for one of the Black Flag Resynced Outfits in the game. There are four hunts, all consisting of four missions each, that are accessible in the quest log on the map page:

Assassin's Contracts

Once you've completed the mission Overrun and Outnumbered with James Kidd you'll unlock 30 Assassin Contracts. These are found scattered around the various towns and settlements, marked on the map with a skull icon, where you'll find a pigeon coop that you collect contracts from. These all involve killing a specific target, often with a bonus challenge like doing it from stealth, or using a specific weapon to get extra Reales.

Naval Contracts

There are 15 Naval Contracts you can take on, starting with one called the A Spanish Plague in Great Inagua which unlocks the rest. That in turn is unlocked by completing This Old Cove. These are a selection of boat based combat missions that see you battling and boarding various vessels and gathering certain cargos.

Mayan Stelae

There are 16 Mayan Stelae to find, each of which involves a small visual puzzles to reveal a stone. Collect them all and you'll get the Mayan outfit which includes a trinket that repels bullets. Technically these are introduced once you complete the mission Overrun and Outnumbered with James Kidd, who introduces you to them. But you can find them out in the world and start solving them before that.

The Black Flag Resynced Sugarcane and Its Yields quest is a bit of a tough one because it features two sections where a stealth approach is best due to the overwhelming number of guards. However, the main challenge for this Black Flag Resynced quest is finding the Warehouse Key as it's tucked away in a private manor at the far end of the plantation and can be difficult to get without causing a huge commotion. With that, here's what you need to do to complete Sugarcane and Its Yields as smoothly as possible.

Black Flag Resynced Sugarcane and Its Yields walkthrough

After following James Kidd across Andreas Island to the elevated lookout point, here's what you need to do to find the Warehouse Key and complete the Sugarcane and Its Yields quest without getting into a massive fight:

1. Find Beckford's agent, who usually patrols the parts of this British dock camp furthest from the lookout point you start at. Sneak forward and use Eagle Vision (R3/R3) and aiming (L2/LT) to mark enemies until you find the agent.
2. Kill the agent and loot his body to collect the cargo manifest. It's good to use whistling, hiding spots, smoke bombs, and tree hangings to your advantage to secure the kill without causing a ruckus as this dock has quite a lot of soldiers inside.
3. Return to the Jackdaw and sail to Cat Island (706, 669). Dock the Jackdaw when you arrive then sneak onto the island plantation.
4. Sneak past the plantation guards using the available buildings and shrub hiding spots and head straight for the manor in the southwestern corner of the Cat Island plantation.
5. Climb onto the roof of the manor and peek into the garden to locate and mark Emmerson Beckford at roughly (705,664). He holds the Warehouse Key you need.

6. When Beckford eventually goes inside the manor and isolates himself from his guests, drop from the roof out of sight, go inside, and either pickpocket the Warehouse Key from Beckford or assassinate him and loot the key from his body.
7. Sneak over to the Warehouse towards the north beach of Cat Island at (706,669) and use the key to unlock the doors. Edward and the Jackdaw's crew will safely plunder the Warehouse in a cutscene.

From the Warehouse, you should loot a piece of art called "The Burning of the 'Royal James'", 1,250 Reales, and 12 Wine. That also marks the end of the Sugarcane and Its Yields quest!

However, you may want to return to Cat Island later to rob this warehouse again as, like other warehouses, it replenishes based on a timer (hover the map cursor over the icon to see how long you must wait). Once it has been restocked and you can get the key off one of the plantation guards and loot the warehouse again, helping you get fragments of Black Flag Resynced Treasure Maps, more Reales, and precious resources. If you've got access to Kenway's Fleet, you can also send your ships on missions that resupply warehouses so that you can loot them again.

If you're trying to find Hardwood in Palworld you must be over level 40, as that's where the recipes that require this are found. If that's the case, then you've probably already reached the areas needed to find this material, even if you're not immediately locating it. But, with any luck, that also means you've got a fast travel point or two ready to go and just get where you need to go.

If you're having trouble, I can tell you where you need to go on the vast Palpagos map to find hardwood trees, and I've also got the secret to farming them at your base. So read on if you want to start building high quality Palworld structures.

Where to find Palworld Hardwood

There are a few regions of the map in which hardwood can be found in Palworld, and a range of trees you can get it from, but none of the options are near the starting area:

• Twilight Dunes (spiky trees)
• Mount Obsidian (dead trees)
• Sakurajima (Sakura trees)
• Feybreak Island (red, orange, yellow, and white trees)
• Desiccated Desert (dead trees, spiky trees)
• Astral Mountains (white trees)

Not all trees found in the areas I've listed above drop hardwood, which is why I've called out the best ones to look for. It's also worth remembering that a higher quality axe will improve the yield you receive, so use a Refined Metal Axe, or even a Pal Metal Axe if you can, to get more.

How to farm Palworld Hardwood

You can actually farm hardwood in Palworld, thanks to an incredibly useful crafting recipe hidden in the Ancient Technology tree at level 43: the Logging Site 2. If you need or want a lot of hardwood you should unlock this as soon as possible, build at least one in your base and then set some logging Pals to work on it, and you'll soon have chests full of Palworld Hardwood.

There's one Black Flag Resynced Grand Cayman chest in particular that's very difficult to reach, despite being so obvious. It's more of a puzzle than a parkour or exploration challenge compared to the other two chests you can boot open in this small Black Flag Resynced settlement. To help you get these lootable chests off your checklist, I've how to get to every chest in Grand Cayman below.

Black Flag Resynced Grand Cayman secret chest

The hardest chest to reach is the secret one on the cliff found at (357,298) where an old man is getting shouted at for drinking too much. It's impossible to climb up to so you instead need to follow the man's lead and get Edward hammered too.

Head to the Grand Cayman tavern (you may need to complete a bar fight to properly unlock it first) and buy five drinks at the side of the bar. After the fifth drink and a fade-to-black, Edward will wake up in a pile of palm leaves on the ledge where the old man was. You'll get the "Hungover" trophy/achievement for getting up here, and you can open the secret chest to get the Yoke-Form Vessel art collectible.

Black Flag Resynced Grand Cayman chest 1

To reach the chest at (358,295), you need to go to the cave pool on the southwestern side of Grand Cayman with a Mayan statue nearby. Wade into the pool and dive down when you reach the end of the downward steps. Swim through the small doorway at the bottom of the cave and follow the steps up to the surface and you'll emerge right in front of a chest containing some valuables worth a few hundred Reales in total, so it's not the most rewarding of discoveries.

Black Flag Resynced Grand Cayman chest 2

The chest at (365,303) is easy to spot on the northeastern side of Grand Cayman. The only issue is it's in a small encampment of Spanish soldiers, so you'll have to assassinate or fight your way to it. This chest also contains an assortment of valuables worth several hundred Reales.

If you're looking for more chests to plunder, the Black Flag Resynced Antocha Wreck is full of chests, with one being similarly puzzling to reach as in Grand Cayman.

Anotto Bay in Black Flag Resynced has a handful of treasures to find, including buried treasure from a map found in a Havana warehouse. There are two chests to find, both of which are in the shark -infested underwater tunnels that you must navigate to even reach the smuggler's den, and one secret chest that requires a key. It's a simple location to clear in Black Flag Resynced, but the treasure and secret key can also be quite easy to miss, so here's how to find every bit of loot in Anotto Bay.

Anotto Bay also happens to be where you need to go for the Black Flag Resynced Blackbeard's Treasure quest, so if you need help uncovering that too, check out the linked guide.

Black Flag Resynced Anotto Bay location

If you've got the Black Flag Resynced Treasure Map for Anotto Bay from the Havana Warehouse and want to know where Anotto Bay even is, you need to head to (590,245). It's on the north side of the main island in the Charlotte region of the map and is north-northwest of Kingston. To get inside the smuggler's cove here, you need to dive where the shipwreck is and look for the underwater mineshaft tunnel entrance.

Black Flag Resynced Anotto Bay treasure

The buried treasure marked on the Black Flag Resynced Treasure Map for Anotto Bay is found in the den area at the end of the underwater tunnels. In the middle of the den, you'll notice there's a patch of dirt amongst the wooden floorboards next to a large stack of wooden boxes. The dig spot is in this dirt patch!

The chest within contains 2,000 Reales and the Crimson Cloak outfit for Edward – it's not the most interesting of Black Flag Resynced outfits, but it gives Edward's assassin pirate garb a more striking look.

Anotto Bay Chest 1

The first Anotto Bay chest is in the underwater mineshaft tunnel that leads to the den itself. As you swim through the tunnel, take the first left where the dead pirate is, follow the tunnel around to the right (watch out for the sea urchins), then take the next left. As you swim towards the wooden barricade ahead, a shark will burst out, so be prepared to dodge. When the shark is out of the way, the first Anotto Bay chest is straight ahead and holds 1,000 Reales.

Anotto Bay Chest 2

To reach the second chest, continue swimming down the tunnel until you reach an area with a ladder leading upwards and a spout of bubbles. Follow this up, then look around and you'll find chest 2 in the opposite direction to the rest of the tunnel. This chest also contains 1,000 Reales.

Anotto Bay Secret

Like the buried treasure, the secret in Anotto Bay (which is another chest) is found in the den area. The chest itself is tucked in a corner on the left as you walk into the den, but the key you need is on the smuggler leader Lorenzo – use a combination of Eagle Vision and aiming to mark him and the key. All you need to do is kill Lorenzo, loot the key from his body, and open the chest to get 4,922 Reales and a Weathered Map Piece!

The uses for Palworld Meteorite Fragments aren't immediately obvious, and this might be one of the rare resources you find before you go looking for it. Meteors randomly fall from the sky, and their arrival is indicated by large red text in the middle of the screen, suggesting a very important event. And this isn't to say that it's not, as if you're looking to catch every Pal you definitely want to head to a meteorite location to catch some out-of-this-world Pals - and you can grab plenty of these fragments while you're at it.

However, once you've got the rocks in your inventory, you may be wondering what to do with them, and their recipes don't show themselves unless you have already caught the appropriate Pals, either. So I've listed every recipe for Palworld Meteorite Fragments below, and how to get them if by chance you've heard them mentioned but haven't found them yet.

Palworld Meteorite Fragment uses

These are the uses for Palworld Meteorite Fragments so far:

• Meteor Launcher
• Meteorite Ammo
• Paldium Fragment
• Selyne saddle
• Neptilius saddle
• Xenogard saddle
• Xenolord saddle

The most valuable items here are the Pal saddles, allowing you to ride flying mount Selyne, water mount Neptilius, and ground mounts Xenogard and Xenolord. These Pals themselves are hard to come by, though, with the 'easiest' being Xenogard, who has a chance to spawn at Meteorite Events in high-level areas. The others are bosses, so you'll just want to keep your Meteorite Fragments saved up until you catch them.

The Meteor Launcher is a cool weapon used for hurling Meteor Ammo at opponents, but sadly it isn't as powerful as the existing Rocket Launcher, so it's not really worth crafting, especially since the ammo for the Rocket Launcher requires much cheaper resources.

Overall, Meteorite Fragments aren't that useful - yet. Since Meteorite Fragments don't seem to have much value right now, it might be worth keeping any extras you find stashed away at your base in case of future recipes and uses for the purple rocks.

How to get Palworld Meteorite Fragments

If you haven't witnessed a Meteorite Event yet, these are events that take place randomly and sporadically across Palpagos Islands. You don't need to worry too much though, as if one occurs near you, you'll see an unmissable notice splashed across the center of your screen.

At the meteor site, a few fragments can be found on the ground, and at least 30 fragments can then be obtained by mining the large meteor itself.

To find the meteor, simply look at your map for the nearby meteor icon. The drop site spawns a few special Pals: Selyne, Xenovader, and Xenogard. There will always be at least two of any of these Pals at each site, but it's most likely to be Xenovader. Xenogard has a chance of appearing in high-level areas, while Selyne is guaranteed at Meteorite Events on Sakurajima.

Some Syndicate Thugs will beat you to the site, but the Pal arrivals should make quick work of them. They will then wander off, so if you aren't quick enough to the site, you may not be able to catch the Pals. However, this may be a good thing if you're still a low level. That said, the fact that they leave makes it easier to go and farm fragments.

Black Flag Resynced codes are in high demand, as they can be used to claim free rewards in this updated swashbuckling adventure. Some are cosmetic, such as fresh sails to adorn your ship, but you can also redeem them to get Animus keys – and there's enough on offer to unlock one of three new swords for Edward Kenway to wield. To find out more, here are all of the Black Flag codes and how to redeem them for rewards.

All Black Flag Resynced codes

The following Black Flag Resynced codes can be redeemed for rewards:

• ACBF-PHGN-SYBJ-RTRF – 1,500 Animus keys, Crimson Storm Sails (note: although not officially expired, this code is currently giving an error message)
• ASC-BFR-PMK-000 – Shipmate Monkey Pet

Neither of these Black Flag codes have an official expiry date, although when the first one was announced producer Justin Ng said it "will remain available for a limited redemption period" and players trying to redeem it are currently receiving an error message, so it's not clear if this is a temporary issue or the promo has actually expired.

There is also another route to claim rewards for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced:

• Complete Red Bull Quiz – Wings of the Tempest Sails (expires September 30, 2026)

The previous Twitch Drops to unlock the Rustborne Swords and Cheetah Claw Cat Pet expired on August 2, 2026, though it's always worth keeping an eye on the current Twitch Drops Campaigns to see if anything new has been added.

To complete the Red Bull quiz, scroll down the page until you find the 'Spin' button and hit that to start the questions. There are six in total and you only need to answer one of them correctly, then provide your name and email at the end to receive a unique code. When you redeem that code a message which pops up suggests this reward may not be available yet, and you'll receive a further email from Red Bull once it's in the game, so don't stress if you can't immediately find it.

How to redeem Black Flag Resynced codes

The most direct way to redeem Black Flag Resynced codes is to activate them in-game, by entering the pause menu then following the Store prompt in the top right corner of the screen, before hitting the Redeem Code option to the bottom left of the screen.

However, some players (especially on consoles) have reported issues with this process, so you can also redeem Black Flag codes though the Ubisoft Connect app by tapping your profile icon then choosing the Key Activation option, or going through the official Redeem codes site and following the steps there. You'll need a Ubisoft Connect account for either of those routes, so if you don't have one already then complete the process to set one up.
