Monopoly Go’s latest campaign features a number of famous actors, engaging players through a story set in “GOville”. In addition, the cross-platform campaign includes more than 20 original videos, which were created by Scopely in collaboration with the well-known advertising agency Omelet and with the professional guidance of director Henry Scholfield.
In the campaign launched by Scopely, called “Friendship Pays”, Jason Momoa, Keke Palmer and Chris Pratt play characters in the game, and they perform a series of creative pranks based on the rules of Monopoly Go. Will Ferrell provided voice performance for the classic character Mr. Monopoly for the first time, and Scopely has confirmed that he will continue to be the voice spokesperson for this character in future related activities.
In fact, many actors have expressed their great enthusiasm for Monopoly Go and the latest campaign. Among them, Keke Palmer once mentioned in a statement that he always enjoys playing games with friends or family, especially games like Monopoly Go that can inspire competition and have fun. He also expressed his honor to cooperate with Monopoly Go.
Jason Momoa also shared his feelings, saying: Playing Monopoly Go is like playing bass. It’s all about creating harmony and getting everyone together to have a good time. He also said that he thinks there is no one better to be a partner than Keke, Chris and Mr. Monopoly.
Monopoly Go’s senior vice president of marketing once revealed the origin of the advertising campaign to the media. According to Berger, the entire project took a year to prepare. As Monopoly Go quickly achieved success around the world and accumulated numerous loyal players, Scopely decided to start attracting more potential users through TV commercials.
Berger emphasized that Monopoly Go is not just an ordinary mobile game. It is a game with a triple-A brand, wide influence and recognition. Therefore, when formulating a marketing strategy, Scopely hopes to treat this game and its related promotions in a way that reflects its high standards.
When discussing the advertising creativity of Monopoly Go, Berger said that friendship is the most important commodity in this game. Berger explained that the choice of ‘Friendship Pays’ is the key to success. The tagline “Friendship Pays’” recognizes that what makes Monopoly Go special is the time you spend with your friends.
The core of the campaign is to emphasize the fun and interactive experience of players coming together to enjoy the game, rather than just participating in a specific event in the game to get Monopoly Go Dice.
To bring this to life, Scopely designed a series of story scenes centered on friendship, in which players can experience not only the exciting gameplay process, but also the deep friendship between each other.

In its first year, Monopoly Go was downloaded more than 150 million times and reached an astonishing number of 10 million daily active users. Not only that, it also generated a whopping $3 billion in revenue in just over a year.
The mobile game has evolved independently from the original Monopoly board game because of its extremely high popularity. With an already large player base, many people are curious about the value of advertising campaigns like “Friendship Pays” to existing players.
Berger said that Monopoly Go is, of course, very welcome to new players. Berger believes that the key factor for success is that the existing player base can really appreciate and participate in such innovative activities, to inspire them to play more frequently or share these interesting contents with their friends.
One of the core goals of this “Friendship Pays” campaign is to encourage old players who are already loyal fans to invite more friends to enjoy the fun brought by this game.
Another key to success is to encourage lapsed players to return to the game. Berger pointed out that a large part of the value proposition of such activities is that they may reach those who left the game six months ago. Such activities can be very effective in bringing these players back to the game and generating the idea of I wonder if my friends are still playing this game.
In addition, Berger also emphasized the global nature of this event. In order to further enhance the appeal of the event, Scopely even specially found voice actors suitable for the characteristics of each region for Monopoly Go, hoping to make the game closer to the life experience of local players in this way, to stimulate players' interest and enthusiasm for the game.
Scopely hopes to reach the maximum potential user group through this cross-platform integrated marketing strategy, so that both long-time fans of the series and novice players who have just come into contact with such games can be attracted by its unique charm and actively participate in the activities. This arrangement not only helps to increase brand awareness, but also lays the foundation for building a more active and harmonious gaming community.
In CoD Black Ops 6, players can not only experience the most intense and exciting Zombies Mode in the series in recent years, but also explore two maps with completely different terrains and game styles - Liberty Falls and Terminus. In these two maps, there are different map layouts, mission objectives and bosses to challenge.
But of the two, Terminus is more challenging because its terrain is very complex. Although you can use some tools here to explore, such as taking a boat to travel through various areas, looking for Easter eggs and using elevators, you will still often encounter unexpected deaths.
So learning some of the survival tips in Terminus introduced in this guide can help you explore this risky map faster and easier. Of course, you can also make appropriate adjustments according to your game style.
Once you have collected enough Salvage from the zombies you have defeated, you should head to Arsenal Machine and equip the Dead Wire Ammo Mod as soon as possible. You may be very surprised that this is a task in the quest line, but why rush? Because in the complex map design of Terminus, the Dead Wire Ammo Mod can easily make you break through the enemy’s obstacles.
After you have completed the equipping operation, you can then dedicate the remaining Salvage to this weapon upgrade. Because this high weapon rarity has huge damage scaling and is crucial for subsequent rounds.
On top of that, the Dead Wire Ammo Mod is very effective against the most powerful Elite Zombies Amalgam in Terminus, so you can completely forgo investing Salvage in some other ammunition mods.
It is well known that Perk-a-Colas is a rich reward that many players dream of in CoD Black Ops 6, because it can provide you with unique buffs that last for multiple rounds. In Terminus, you can equip all Perk-a-Colas before Round 25. However, considering the difficulty of the challenge after Round 15, the sooner you get them all, the better.
So it is also particularly important to choose the right skills in the early rounds. In the early rounds, you can prioritize skills such as Speed Cola, Elemental Pop, Deadshot Daiquiri and Juggernog. With the help of these skills, you can get Stamin-Up, Melee Macchiato, PhD Flopper, and Quick Revive colas in order.
It is important to remember that the order of acquisition here is combined with the dual requirements of preserving ammunition and health in the early rounds to ensure that you have enough resources in the subsequent rounds. If you are a little struggling during the confrontation or are not familiar with the weapon, you can practice for a while in CoD Black Ops 6 Bot Lobbies.
As with any Zombies mode, you can intentionally not kill the last zombie to prevent a new wave from arriving, which gives you plenty of time to collect some loot or replenish your resources. This strategy is especially useful on maps like Terminus that have a lot of waves of zombies.
Note, however, that this strategy may not be very effective in the early rounds, but as you level up and become stronger, the idle time you need will decrease - because you have become a veteran! It should be noted that this strategy does not work on Elite Zombies like Amalgam, as their life or death does not affect the start of a new wave!
Perhaps the most annoying part of Terminus’ main quest is working on Math Puzzle given to you in Research Office. Although the zombies won’t attack you while you’re working on it, you will be faced with a time limit. Once you time out, you won’t be able to try again until the next round.
This will take a lot of time, but you can actually skip this step - just spend 5,000 Essence from Dr. Peck in Guard Station to get the final code. It may be an enormous expense, but it’s well worth your exploration time. What’s more, you don’t have to pay for it all at once. You can deposit it to Dr. Peck in installments until you reach 5,000.
In addition to the offensive capabilities just mentioned, your defensive capabilities cannot be ignored. Even if you have a very powerful weapon, but your defense is very poor, even like glass, you cannot survive in Terminus.
So after you get Deadshot Daiquiri and Elemental Pop, you can upgrade your Armor Vests - use 4,000 and 14,000 Essence to upgrade it to double-plate and triple-plate vests.
With them, you may survive in the zombie ambush area, otherwise you will only exist for a few seconds. Now, remember that the level 2 armor vests can be found in Sea Tower and Seaside Path, while the level 3 vests can be found in Bio Lab and Crab Island.
The above are 5 tips and tricks for surviving in Terminus map of CoD Black Ops 6. I hope that with the help of this guide, you can better and more safely explore this extremely challenging map. If you want to know more about the survival skills of another map, you may wish to discuss and learn in IGGM Discord. If you are lucky, you will also have the opportunity to get some game products here. I wish you a happy game!
Grim Batol is a level 85 dungeon introduced in WOW Cataclysm Classic, available in normal and heroic 5-man versions.
Grim Batol is one of the most interesting dungeons in Cataclysm expansion. In this guide, we will provide you with all the information you need to complete this dungeon.
Grim Batol is a massive fortress that is home to Wildhammer Dwarves. In Cataclysm, it is occupied by an evil cult called Twilight’s Hammer. Under the watchful eye of Ogre Cho’gall, they continue to spread evil magic and cause destruction.
Starting at level 84, you can enter Grim Batol. Grim Batol is located at the westernmost end of Twilight Highlands, which itself is directly east of Wetlands. The instance itself is an old Dwarven fortress with a portal at the entrance, which can be reached by following the path to the west from the center of the area.
As a level 85 dungeon, it will most likely be one of the last instances that players conquer in the first part of the expansion.
As with most dungeons in Cataclysm, there are four bosses to conquer. We’ll talk about the tips you need to know to defeat these bosses.
General Umbriss is an interesting boss fight, mainly because players must learn the same skills to win. Initially, the tank needs to heal the damage-over-time effect of Bleeding Wound. If the healer can heal the tank to above 90% of health, it will also remove the debuff.
An important skill that everyone in the group needs to know is Blitz. This causes General Umbriss to randomly select a player from the group to charge, then deal huge physical damage and knockback, both of which affect anyone within 6 yards of the attack location.
To avoid this, everyone needs to run out of range and avoid the attacks of the selected player. Selected players can do this as well, but they should wait as long as possible before doing so to avoid running in the same direction as everyone else.
Another problem is Ground Siege. This skill is also randomly targeted and causes Umbriss to use a directional ground attack that deals tremendous damage and stuns anyone in the cone for four seconds. However, it’s easy to avoid the attack, just keep an eye out.
Umbriss will also summon Troggs to assist him in the fight, but this is relatively easy to deal with on normal difficulty. You just need to make sure your Tank and DPS stay aggro to take down these enemies quickly.
Forgemaster Throngus is a cool fight for those who farm dungeons regularly, mainly because it’s extremely replayable. How the fight will play out depends mainly on which weapon the character chooses from the available weapons.
Regardless of which weapon is chosen, the only standard skill that players need to be aware of is Mighty Stomp. This causes the walls of Grim Batol to begin to collapse, and stones to fall around the player. But just stay out of the area of effect of these weapons and you’re ready.
Additionally, here are some things to note about each weapon:
Shield: This is the most comfortable choice. Throngus will use Personal Phalanx, which makes him face a random player and deploy a shield. This player’s task is to turn the boss’s back to the rest of the team. This will allow them to deal full damage, as damage dealt is reduced by 99% when facing a shield.
Meanwhile, Archers will fire Flaming Arrows from above, so keep an eye out for these and avoid them if possible.
Dual-Wield Swords: Disorienting Roar affects all players, slowing attack and casting speed by 150%. This can be dispelled or removed with skills, so make sure to use Dual-Wield weapons to keep your DPS high. Dual Blades and Thrash are powerful attacks that tanks must withstand, while healers must counter with healing.
Mace: Mace is arguably the scariest of all the choices, but it’s not particularly variable and is easy to deal with if you know what to do. The first of the two effects is a simple passive skill that slows the boss by 70% but increases damage by 200%.
The only active skill to watch out for is Impaling Slam, which causes Throngus to jump to a random target and deal heavy damage over time to the target hit. This is difficult to avoid, so most people will heal while being targeted.
Drahga Shadowburner is a two-phase fight that shouldn’t be too difficult for a well-prepared team. Therefore, it’s worth spending some WoW Cataclysm Classic Gold to upgrade your gear.
The first phase is relatively easy to control, with Shadowburner mainly using Burning Shadowbolt skill to deal damage, but this can be avoided by healing or interrupting.
The major problem the team needs to deal with is Invocation of Flame. The boss will create a portal that summons an Invoked Flaming Spirit.
First, don’t stand near the portal to avoid the fire damage it emits. Then, DPS should shift their targets to Spirit to quickly eliminate it before it can reach the player. If you do this, it will cast Supernova and deal heavy damage to players who are close to it, enough to kill them in one hit.
At 25% health, Shadowburner will summon his dragon mount, Valiona. As long as the tank has their back to the dragon, DPS class should find it relatively easy to burn the boss.
At 20% health, the dragon will abandon its master. At this point, it is already very weak and the player can easily kill Shadowburner.
The last boss in the dungeon is the toughest to deal with, and it is Commander of Grim Batol, Erudax.
The first of the two main mechanics that everyone in the group needs to be aware of is Binding Shadows, which will first root and damage the player, and then heal the boss for 3 times the amount of damage. When the boss is targeting you, just avoid it to negate its effects.
The other is Shadow Gale, which Erudax will summon a tremendous storm. When the cast begins, a circle will appear on the floor. This is basically the safe zone, and all players need to stand inside it to avoid being killed when the cast ends. The good news is that the boss takes double damage here, so be sure to keep attacking during Shadow Gale.
After Shadow Gale ends, Faceless Corruptor enters the room and begins casting Twilight Corruption on Alexstrasza’s Egg. You’ll need to kill them quickly before Corruptor spawns Twilight Hatchlings, as they’ll attack the player anyway afterwards.
Tanks and healers will need to be aware of Enfeebling Blow and its subsequent debuff, Feeble Body, which makes the victim vulnerable to 200% more damage for five seconds. This is a good time to put a cooldown on the tank to mitigate its worst effects. DPS just stay behind and avoids causing aggro while the tank is being bounced.
Finally, let’s talk about how different it will be to take on these bosses in Heroic Mode.
The fight with Umbriss in Heroic Mode is interesting, as it does add an important mechanic layer that players must be aware of. If Malignant Troggs are killed, they will cast Modgud’s Malice, increasing the boss’ damage and turning Skarydn Dwellers within eight yards into more Skardyn. This can get out of hand quickly, so move them out of the way before killing Troggs.
Additionally, Modgud’s Malady is a debuff that Troggs can cast that damages the player. On Heroic difficulty, this effect can stack up to ten times, enough to kill players quickly, so kill those Troggs as soon as possible.
On Heroic difficulty, Disorienting Roar is the one we need to focus on. It starts out by slowing spellcasting and attack speed by 150%, and that number is reduced by 50% every time the player successfully uses an attack skill.
Drahga remains largely unchanged on Heroic difficulty, hitting harder with the same skill set. But Valiona now has Devouring Flames, which shoots giant cones of dragon flame at random players. If possible, stay away from it. But if you can’t, stay as far away from the dragon as possible, as the further the player is from the source, the less damage the fire will do.
The fight in Erudax is much the same, except that it’s slightly harder in Heroic mode. The biggest difference is that the boss summons two Faceless Corruptors instead of one after casting Shadow Gale. But this won’t cause too much trouble for those with decent DPS.
These are all the tips you need to know to clear Grim Batol dungeon in normal and heroic mode. Give it a try!
Welcome, fellow gamers! I'm excited to show you the Bash Barbarian build for Diablo 4 Season 4! This build stands out as one of the most effective ways to take down Uber bosses or even Uber Lilith. In this guide, we'll delve into all the details of this build, along with strategies and tips you need to know. Let's get started!
First, let's break down the build starting with the Bash-focused strategy. We invest fully in the Bash skill for fortified generation when hitting stunned enemies. This core skill set forms the backbone of our offensive capabilities, particularly against non-boss foes.
Moving on, we bypass other enhancements and proceed to the defensive cluster. We prioritize Iron Skin and its enhancements, benefiting from a protective barrier and fortified generation upon activation. Additionally, Challenging Shout provides a taunt with damage reduction and increased maximum life while active.
We allocate points to key passives such as Imposing Presence for bonus maximum life, Martial Vigor for damage reduction from Elite enemies, and Outburst to facilitate the acquisition of Tough as Nails. The latter enhances Thorns damage and converts a portion of it into bleeding damage, effectively activating bleed effects upon taking damage.
In the Brawling cluster passives, Kick serves as a fury spender and applies vulnerability to bosses, while War Cry enhances damage output and activates Berserking. Passives like Booming Voice extend shout duration, Raid Leader provides healing during shout uptime, and Guttural Yell reduces enemy damage when using shouts.
Aggressive Resistance and Battle Fervor bolster our Berserking capabilities, providing damage reduction and extending Berserking duration upon damaging enemies with Kick. Pit Fighter in the Weapon Mastery enhances damage to nearby enemies, while the Thick Skin paves the way for Counteroffensive, granting bonus damage when health is above a certain threshold.
The Wrath of the Berserker ultimate skill and its enhancements amplify Berserk damage multipliers, ensuring consistent uptime through various triggers. Passives like Heavy Handed increase critical multiplier, Wallop boosts damage against stunned or vulnerable enemies, and Concussion adds a chance to stun enemies with budgeting weapons.
Finally, the key passive, Unconstrained, further augments damage gains while Berserking. In the technique slot, we prioritize vulnerable multipliers with the Two-Handed Axe Expertise, enhancing overall damage output in our current setup.
Next, let's discuss the gear setup. Prioritize strength, critical strike damage, and maximum life on weapons, with cooldown reduction ideally on your helmet and amulet. Aim for crit chance and attack speed on your amulet, and crit chance, attack speed, and either strength or maximum life on your rings.
Ensure you have ranks to Bash on your pants slot, prioritizing the Greater Affixes and Masterworking. On boots, focus on bonus ranks to Kick, movement speed, and a flex slot for strength or resistances based on your setup. Adjust your build as your armor cap shifts because of Tempering.
The Paingorger's Gauntlets are essential for non-boss content, enhancing Bash's natural cleave. Additionally, consider the Rage of Harrogath if you lack the Tyrael's Might chest armor, as it provides cooldown reduction when applying bleed through Thorns, physical crit chance, and damage reduction from bleeding enemies.
For two-handed weapons, prioritize Rapid Aspect for bonus basic skill attack speed on one and the Aspect of the Moonrise for bonus attack speed, damage with basic skills, and movement speed on the other. Consider dual-wielding for increased attack speed, although the two-handed version synergizes well for this build's purposes.
Aspect of Adaptability on your amulet increases bash damage, while the Edgemaster's Aspect boosts damage based on your full research bar, Aspect of Inner Calm offers a general damage increase multiplier, and Aspect of Elements rotates damage increases.
Bold Chieftain Aspect on your boots reduces cooldowns depending on nearby enemies. Defensive Aspects include Iron Warrior, which strengthens Iron Skin, and Aspect of Might, providing constant damage reduction because of the reliance on basic skills. Hectic Aspect on boots offers cooldown reductions for basic skill casts.
Let's take a look at the Paragon Board setup. On your Starter Board, we'll place the Exploit glyph for bonus damage to vulnerable enemies and vulnerable procs on first damage to enemies. We need to grab just enough Dexterity to activate the glyph. If you have less armor, consider going up through the rare armor node.
Switching to the Warbringer Board, we'll put the Territorial glyph for bonus damage to close enemies and damage reduction from them. Next, grab relevant rare and magic nodes, including extra all-element resist.
Move to the Carnage Board, insert the Ire glyph for bonus damage while Berserking and bonus damage reduction from Elites during Berserking. After, grab the necessary strength and other relevant nodes to maintain 40 damage while Berserking threshold. Proceed to the legendary node on the board, granting bonus attack speed for every critical strike while Berserking.
Then, acquiring the damage while Berserking rare and magic nodes. Attach the Decimator Board and travel down and right to the glyph socket. We'll place the Undaunted glyph for bonus damage while fortified and scaling damage reduction based on Fortify. Gather rare and magic nodes, ensuring enough Willpower to power the glyph.
Attach the Hemorrhage Board, moving down and left to reach the glyph socket. Insert the Might glyph for bonus effects to all magic nodes within range and an increased damage multiplier with two-handed weapons.
Finally, attach the Flawless technique node from the Blood Rage Board. Insert the Revenge glyph for bonus rare nodes within range and a stacking damage multiplier with Thorns damage.
Let's discuss how to effectively play the build in various scenarios such as Nightmare Dungeons, Pit runs, or facing Unber bosses. The approach is quite consistent across these situations. Begin by activating Wrath of the Berserker, followed by using Kick when your Fury is at its maximum.
Then, ensure you replenish your Fury to the maximum and use Kick again. Even without maximum Fury bonuses, this exhausts 200 Fury, the maximum for benefiting from Wrath of the Berserker's bonuses. After this sequence, utilize War Cry for the damage boost. If possible, employ Iron Skin before using the Challenging Shout to reduce its cooldown.
Otherwise, maintain a steady barrage of Bash attacks, with War Cry used whenever it's off cooldown. Keep an eye on the Berserk timer in your ability bar to determine whether an extra Kick is needed to prevent your bonuses from resetting. If you lose Berserk at any point, you must restart the process by activating Wrath of the Berserker once more.
Hello everyone! Meat Week Event is here again! Since this event is only open for a limited period of time, the most important thing to make the most of it is to get as many unique rewards as possible. It is also a good option to grind XP and earn extra Scrip. This guide will go through everything you need to know about Meat Week Event.
Every 15 to 20 minutes, you will get a Primal Cuts event. You can start the event by hitting a drum in the center. This will attract a group of animals to you. They appear in four waves, and you must kill the marked prime animals.
Note that Butcher’s Bounty Perk Card does not seem to give you more prime meat, but it does help increase other types of meat.
The waves will gradually become stronger over time, and the event ends when you defeat all enemies, or when the timer runs out. Successfully completing the event will give you prime meat that you can use later.
Since meat will rot, having a Refrigerated Backpack Mod or Good with Salt Perk will help you preserve them for longer. If you rank high enough on the scorebaord, Cryofridge will also be helpful to you.
The events that take place in areas where the enemies are stronger seem to give you more prime meat, while Mire seems to be the place that gives you the most meat. So pick the one you want and start collecting meat. If you’re fast enough, you can participate in both events at the same time.
The other half of Meat Week is Grahm’s Meat-Cook Event, which is all about advancing the progress bar in the upper right corner. There are three stages marked with icons here, and if you don’t reach the first stage, you fail. But if you want to get more valuable Fallout 76 items, it is very necessary to reach the later stages as soon as possible. Here, I will list the things you can do to advance the event.
You can find drums and the spits on the high platforms on both sides of the centre roast pit. They are passive activities, just like playing an instrument during One Violent Night. The unique thing is that they allow you to advance the progress bar before it appears.
They still give you progress during the event, and if all spits or drums are in use, you will get a reward. But it’s important that you get progress before the event officially starts. So if you happen to get there early enough, make sure to use them.
The roast pit in the center has spits and pots where you can place prime meat and donate it in stacks of five. For example, if you have 12, you’ll need two batches of five, but you won’t need the last two.
Each Meat-Cook Event has a maximum of 15. Each stack you deposit gives you a bonus of about 15 minutes. Stacking one stack makes you no longer hungry, and if you get hit, you have a chance to damage enemies with farts. Stacking two stacks does the same thing, and you get a 15-point bonus to your maximum health. Stacking a third stack increases it to a 30-point health bonus and a 5% XP bonus.
You also get 5 Legendary Scrips per stack, so you can get an extra 15 Scrips for each event. This is an extra little bonus for attending a Primal Cuts event.
Another thing you can do is feed Chally the Moo-Moo. You may have to attend at least one Meat-Cook Event to get the recipe, but you can make the recipe with vegetables before the event and give it to Chally when the event starts. Make sure to do these as soon as the progress bar appears, so you don’t forget.
You can also collect animal chunks and greens. You’ll find small animals like Opossums, Squirrels, and Chickens behind the shed. Regional loot doesn’t work here, so you’ll have to collect chunks individually. Put them in the shopping cart in the shed to advance progress.
Next to it you can see the container for greens. Bring them back to get more progress. If you want, you can also put submit wood in the pile next to the cooking pot.
You can also get progress for the event by cleaning up rotting meat, manure piles, and putting out fires around. Such as the scorchbeast poop you saw in Line in the Sand event. Be sure to prioritize this because they can actually slow down your progress if you leave them behind.
After the event, you will receive rewards based on your performance. You can get XP, Caps, Legendary weapons or armor, Meat Week apparel, Treasury Notes, and Unique plans.
Besides that, there are quite a few plans for unique items and unique camp items, such as Meat Cleaver. This is a throwing weapon that does a ton of damage. If you haven’t tried throwing weapons yet, you might be surprised at how effective they are.
And of course, there’s Pepper Shaker, which is one of the major prizes of Meat Week Event. The only way to get this plan is through this event or by buying it from a player vendor. The chance of any single item dropping is about 1.6% per event.
So if you want everything, you should do as much Meat-Cook as you can. The event will last for about two weeks and will end on June 4, 2024, so you should have plenty of time to participate.
That’s it. Hopefully, this walkthrough made it a little easier for you. Good luck, and may RNG gods be with you.
Stash management poses a challenge in Fallout 76, but don't worry, you're not the only one facing this problem. Whether you're a seasoned player or a newcomer to Appalachia, handling your stash can become a shared struggle for all players at some stage of their gaming experience. So I'm here today to provide a guide for those looking for tips on managing stash effectively.
However, it's important to note that your shop and displays will still count towards your stash weight. Now, let's jump into the tips for effective stash management.
Always scrap your junk items instead of storing them as they are. Scrapping junk not only provides you with valuable crafting materials but also reduces their weight significantly. Besides, it's best to avoid bulking your junk altogether and store them as individual components.
Be mindful of the weight of decorative items in your camp, such as teddy bears and other decorations. These Fallout 76 Items may seem insignificant individually but can add up quickly, affecting your overall stash weight. Consider minimizing decorative items, especially those with substantial weight, to optimize your storage space.
Fallout 1st members can access to the Scrapbox, a separate storage container specifically for storing crafting materials. Unlike the standard stash box, the Scrapbox has no weight limit, allowing you to store unlimited materials without worrying about inventory weight constraints. Consider taking advantage of this feature if you have a Fallout 1st membership.
If you're not a Fallout 1st member but have access to a trial period or promotional offer, consider utilizing it to grind and store materials in the Scrapbox. Materials stored in the Scrapbox during the trial period will remain accessible even after the trial ends, providing you with extended storage capabilities.
Here's a significant stash management tip that may not be relevant in the early stages of the game, but becomes crucial as you progress beyond Level 50: manage your consumables effectively. As you accumulate chems and food items, they can quickly fill up your stash. Consider crafting or cooking them into higher-tier versions or selling excess items to vendors.
Additionally, investing in perks that reduce the weight of chems and food can significantly alleviate stash space issues. By utilizing perks like the Traveling Pharmacy and Thru-hiker, you can drastically reduce the weight of these items while they're in your inventory. Traveling Pharmacy reduces chem weight by 90%, while Thru-hiker reduces food and drink weight by the same percentage.
Additionally, if you have a backpack with mods like the Grocer's Backpack, you can further reduce the weight of chems and food. However, remember that these reductions do not stack with the Chemist perks, so choose the combination that works best for your play style.
Another stash management tip is to avoid storing power armor pieces individually in your stash. By keeping power armor pieces on the chassis, you're essentially consolidating their weight into a single, manageable item. This not only saves space in your stash, but also makes it easier to transport and manage your power armor.
When you examine your power armor in your Pip-Boy, you'll notice that the weight of the entire power armor frame is relatively low, often around 10 lbs. However, if you remove individual pieces, such as the chest or limbs, you'll find that each piece weighs significantly more.
If you have multiple sets of power armor or collect various pieces, consider using an empty power armor chassis for storage. Even if you're not a Fallout 1st member and don't have access to the Scrapbox, you can still utilize this method to optimize your stash space.
Of course, if you're a Fallout 1st member, you can take advantage of the Survival Tent feature to quickly access your stored power armor chassis whenever needed. This provides added convenience, especially when there's no stash box nearby.
Managing ammo can be challenging, especially for players who tend to hoard everything. When enemies are defeated, it's tempting to collect all available ammo, just in case. However, this can lead to significant stash weight issues.
Being a Fallout 1st member has its perks, allowing unlimited ammo storage without weight constraints. However, for non-members, managing excess ammo becomes essential. I recommend only picking up ammo you'll use. Selling unused ammo to other players is an option, but it can burden your stash until sold.
A crucial point: avoid hoarding Mini Nukes and Missiles unless you frequently use weapons like the Fat Man or Missile Launcher. These items weigh considerably and often end up unused in your inventory. Selling them may prove challenging, as they're not in high demand.
Here's another essential tip: only keep weapons you actually use! It's tempting to collect every weapon you come across, but they take up a significant amount of space. Sell these unused weapons for scrap or script. Weapons are relatively easy to find unless they're god roll legendries, so there's no need to clutter your stash with unused ones.
To help you identify which weapons you use frequently, consider renaming them. Organize them based on their legendary effects or their primary use. For example, you can label them with the Legendary roll followed by an abbreviation. This not only keeps everything organized but also saves time when scrapping or trading items. Renaming your armor pieces can also be beneficial for quick identification.
Diablo 4 has entered its fourth season, and this season is mainly focused on the setting of in-game items, the functions of some of which will greatly improve your experience of leveling up in the game. These settings can make it easy for you to reach level 100. Next, let’s take a look at what methods can be used to help you reach level 100 faster.
This guide can address all the different forms of content in your gameplay and allow you to solve the problem in the shortest time and with the simplest method. But it’s also important that you have complete control over what you run until you reach the highest level, because that’s where the fun of the game comes from.
In Diablo 4, experience points (or call it XP) can be gained from all missions by destroying enemies. However, in some missions under certain circumstances, XP gained in this mission will be much more than in regular missions. Here are some general upgrade methods:
Most of the general quests above aren’t the best way to level up, but they still depend on what you specifically want to play. If you want to know more about the story background of Diablo 4, you can participate in side missions or some battles. But if you want to upgrade quickly, besides researching Helltide and Dungeons, what I will tell you next is the unknown upgrade method.
You should understand all XP boosts before using this method. If you use all experience point boosts at the same time, you can reach the maximum level in less than 10 hours.
The earliest forms of this approach came from team rewards. Simply put, if you have a team and complete the mission content with them, you will receive rewards; but if you complete the mission with non-party players, you will receive half the experience points.
In addition to the party experience bonus mentioned above, you can also research Elixirs. Elixirs can obtain it during early game crafting or when destroying enemies. Elixirs can provide up to 5% bonus experience points for 30 minutes. Later in the game, Elixirs may be 8% effective. These perks will increase the speed at which you complete tasks in the game.
If you feel that making Elixirs is cumbersome, you can purchase Elixirs directly in the mall. Different types of Elixirs can provide different upgrade speeds.
The last and most important thing comes - season bonuses. If you open your battle pass or menu, you will see some rewards that have ended. Don’t be discouraged, you just need some Smoldering Ashes to apply the upgrade, so you’ll need to go through Season 4 Loot Reborn’s battle pass to get Smoldering Ashes first.
Once you have Smoldering Ashes around level 28, you can use it to expand your experience rewards for completing quests, up to the maximum.
As mentioned before, the best way to level up quickly is to research Helltide and Dungeons. Next, let us carefully analyze the upgrade methods of the two modes and find the method that suits you best!
If you want to skip the campaign and not wait there to level up, Helltide is the most efficient way to level up. You can reach level 60 or World Tier 3 or 4 in 3 hours. The major way to upgrade Helltide is to go to the Baneful Altars in the current Helltide area and use three Baneful Hearts to activate events to achieve the upgrade goal.
This method will generate hundreds of enemies, including a maiden boss that will drop a lot of valuable equipment. When you take out three Baneful Hearts, everyone in Helltide area will be activated and gather to clear all enemies as quickly as possible.
Please note that growing enough Baneful Hearts requires unlocking Baneful Hearts seeds first. These seeds can be obtained by completing specific tasks in the game or by talking to the commander. Once you have a Baneful Hearts seed, you can plant it on the appropriate land and take advantage of related events to obtain more Baneful Hearts.
In addition, you can also obtain Aberrant Cinders by destroying enemies, and use Aberrant Cinders to open treasure chests to obtain more Diablo 4 Items and equipment. In Helltide region, you can find these treasure chests in specific locations.
In the opinion of some players, Helltide always levels up faster than regular dungeons, but once you touch Nightmare Dungeons, your level will rise faster. Unlike Helltide, which relies on its community to keep the event up and running, Nightmare Dungeons are entirely dependent on how many levels you can complete and how quickly you can complete it, giving you significantly more freedom.
You can have a fast and stable experience farm by using Sigils. If you can meet the following two requirements, you will receive higher experience points than Helltide:
These requirements are difficult to achieve, but if your game character is strong and flexible, you can easily do it.
Now the choice is up to you. Which one do you think is more suitable for you, Helltide or Dungeons?
They all have their own pros and cons, depending on you, and their rewards are different, regardless of experience points.
Helltide will give you more gear, and where events have 80% to 90% uptime, Helltide will also give you more experience points. In addition to this, you also get exclusive Helltide materials. This means that when you need these materials in other tasks, you still need to enter Helltide to obtain these special materials.
The special thing about Nightmare Dungeons is that it gives you some Glyph experience points. These Glyph experience points can be used to strengthen your game character’s Glyph on the Paragon Board in Nightmare Dungeons.
In Helltide, if you can defeat all enemies, you can get at least 925 pieces of power equipment. This way you can switch from Helltide to Nightmare Dungeons.
But if you’re around level 90, and you already have Profane Mindcage consumable that increases Helltide monster levels by ten levels for an hour, you can also get the same item-powered gear in Helltide.
In Helltide, you need to kill monsters every moment, but in Nightmare Dungeons, because the monsters are not as dense. It takes some time for you to go from one pack to another.
Based on the above, the different upgrade options you choose will depend on what type of content you prefer and how powerful and flexible your build is. In addition to Elixirs mentioned above, there are also some Boss Summons on sale in the mall. When necessary, you can purchase and summon Boss to help you get a better gaming experience. Happy gaming!
Elden Ring is a game that is so big and so expansive. Sometimes, it feels really easy to miss little details or hidden locations. I used to take pride in the fact that I explore every nook and cranny of these types of games.
Next I will introduce to you the three most missed locations in all of Elden Ring.
In addition, investing enough Elden Ring Runes in Elden Ring can help you explore secret locations more efficiently.
First up on the list, we have Sellia Hideaway. This place is essential if you’re looking to finish Sorceress Sellen’s questline as well as get Lusat set and Stars of Ruin spell. The reason this one is so easy to miss is because it’s actually hidden behind an Illusory Wall and even after you find this ucer wall. There’s many more inside in order to find the entrance and this Illusory Wall. You will first want to head to Church of Plague and then head north.
On your way to Illusory Wall, there is a Sorcery waiting to blast you with spells. He’s not too difficult, so you should be able to take him out pretty easily. There’ are also a few items you’ll want to pick up along the way.
As a side note, if you’re playing offline and you don’t have any signs from people showing you where to go, you can run around spamming Margit or Mohg’s shackle, which will reveal all the hidden Illusory Wall as well. Or you just roll around and start smacking things with your sword will have the same effect.
Once you are inside Hideaway or Cave, I’m going to probably call it Cave from now on. Once you’re inside Cave, there are a bunch of really unfriendly monsters. You’ve got Miners and Sorcerers which you’ll see in a lot of Caves throughout the game. But you also have those little snail things that hide and shoot you with magic at one point towards the end.
You actually just have a bunch of them fall in your head as you’re getting ready to approach the main boss in this Dungeon. They are terrible.
But the number one worst part about this whole place is Revenant . They just decided to put a Revenant in here to just mess up your whole day. It’s not fun. When exploring this Cave and all of its nooks and crannies, remember there’s about three Illusory Wall in here. I think three or four.
But as you’re exploring, you’ll come across a two kinds of ending zones, one is the final boss where you’ll fight three Putrid Crystalians. I’m going to fight with Crystalians.
You’ll fight three of those. They’re easy if you have a strike weapon, so just keep that in mind if you have a strike weapon they’re much easier to defeat as you can stagger them very quickly and give massive Critical Hits on them.
Secondly, you will come across a sealed door. It’s kind of big and blue and glowing if you are far enough in Sellen’s questline. You will be able to then interact with this door and through talk to Lusat. He’ll give you a spell. If you come back here once you finish the questline, he will not be here and you can pick up his armor, which gives you a lot of bonuses for star type spells.
But at the end of the day, this place sucks. I don’t like it. But it’s got a lot of good stuff. So I’d highly recommend checking it out.
It definitely would not be a FromSoftware game if there wasn’t a horrifying and scary monster that kills you, grabs you and takes you off to some far away place. Elden Ring is no different. If you remember, in Dark Souls 3, there were those dudes with the cages on their back. They stuff you in the cage and take you off to another location.
Bloodborne had those big hooded figures that love to just punch you, kick you, do all the horrible things to you and then they grab you and stuff you in their bag and take you off to just the most horrible place imaginable.
In Elden Ring, we have Abductor Virgins, these guys are real creepy looking they got sometimes big old Scythe hands, sometimes they have big old Blade hands but inevitably they have a bazillion hands that come out of their stomach and try to stuff you inside.
In order to reach a secret location in Volcano Manor as well as a cool tunnel that takes you to mount Gelmir much earlier in the game than you might have expected, you will need to be murdered to death by an Abductor Virgin and then taken away. To find this monstrosity, you’ll first want to head to Schoolhouse Classroom Site of grace in Raya Lucaria.
Now if you remember that gigantic wheel that you probably jumped on to go up to get to this location. Just jump back on that wheel except take it all the way down to the ground, where you will find an Abductor Virgin waiting to destroy you.
I am also just now realizing that underneath the face of these guys. They’re holding a baby like a weird ceramic or metal just statue of a baby. That’s terrifying.
One thing to note too about getting to this location is that you are going to want to not die by its big buzz saw hands, but let it grab you. Let it pull you inside of it, chomp you up and do its Dirty Deeds to you.
After your quick loading screen you will be teleported to Volcano Manor, where you will see a bunch of broken down Abductor Virgins, you’ll see a bunch of cages. There will be a lot of bats everywhere. Trying to scream at you and attack you, just make your way through picking up any items you might find along the way.
Eventually, you will come across another Site of Grace and once you are there, you can actually teleport out of here. If you do not want to be here anymore, don’t teleport out though, because then you will not have the lovely experience of seeing all that this hidden area has to offer.
One of them being more bats and a lava fill pathway to take you to the boss. Actually, it’s two bosses. Two Abductor Virgins that you get to fight, one of them using Ghiza’s Wheel hands, the other has the Scythe hands.
If you do manage to defeat them, you will be rewarded with a weapon. After that, head forward and you will see any other Site of Grace as well as a way out of this abomination of a Cave.
Welcome to mount Gelmir. Here, you’ll encounter the Great Dragon Placidusax, the secret boss in Elden Ring.
Now there are many secret bosses but this. I think is the one that everyone considers secret boss in Elden Ring. To get to this big dinker of a Dragonlord, you need to first head to Farum Azula.
Once you have found the beside Great Bridge Site of Grace, turn around and head back down the elevator, you just came up. The reason I recommend doing this first is that this is the closest Site of Grace to this boss fight.
Once you get to the bottom of the elevator, I would recommend killing all Beastman waiting for you. You can run past if you want. But if you kill them, you won’t have them throwing things at you or shooting lightning at you. That could potentially throw off your jumping as you traverse a dangerous cliff area.
Like many areas I’ve talked about before, I completely missed this boss fight on my first playthrough and it wasn’t until watching videos after the fact that I was like, what the heck is Dragonlord Placidusax.
Turns out I just completely missed these Cliffs that you can jump off onto floating platforms. After traversing the shattered floating cliff side, you will find yourself on a much bigger portion of a wall. That has been shattered and is now floating. You’ll find a little groove that you can lie down in to do that.
After watching a very calm yet chilling Cutscene, you will get to fight Dragonlord Placidusax. Now my build was absolutely not set up for this guy, but your build actually set up for a boss fight.
This is one of the coolest boss fights in this game. It is so fun. It’s challenging. The atmosphere is awesome. The music is incredible if you’re able to kill Placidusax, you will be rewarded with a gazillion runes and the remembrance of Dragonlord.
You can take this remembrance back to Roundtable Hold and turn it in for either Dragon King’s Cragblade, which is an awesome heavy Thrusting Sword with one of the coolest weapon skills I’ve ever seen in a Souls game.
Or you can also get Placidusax ruin, which is a spell or basically a Dragon Incantation that allows you to just spew golden breath all over. It’s really cool. Go fight him.
So there you have it, those what I believe are probably the three most missed locations in all of Elden Ring. Like I said before.
I hope you won’t miss these hidden locations in the game.
