PoE 2 has recently received some pretty big adjustments. In short, it has reduced the strength of some monsters, adjusted the boss skill range to make it more consistent with the visual effects, and also adjusted the drop rate of some currency and treasures, etc.

Of course, bug fixes are inevitable. Patch 0.1.1 fixes some bugs, but there are more problems that have not been fixed. These patches have added some endgame content for players, and it may take some time before the official game is launched.

Endgame

• Added 4 tower areas; Alpine Ridge, Bluff, Mesa and Sinking Spire.
• Map areas now have more checkpoints.
• The castle will now be clearer on the endgame map.
• You and your team now have 6 challenges against Arbiter of Ash Boss, and you can no longer challenge them when you leave the map, and you cannot change your equipment.
• Arbiter of Ash Boss’s flame seed cannot be interrupted, and the flaming gale can no longer be blocked.
• Arbiter of Ash Boss rarely aims at minions when using its sword.
• Arbiter of Ash Boss will be invincible for a longer time when it appears.
• The number of monsters encountered by players on many maps will be doubled.
• Players are now 50% more likely to encounter magic monsters and rare monsters in the endgame.
• Players are 50% more likely to find safes and shrines in the endgame.
• Players will find more magic monsters and fewer rare monsters in Unclaimed Hideout Areas.
• Players will now encounter a boss every 4 maps.
• Due to the increase in the number of bosses, the chance of a boss dropping a Waystone is reduced.

In addition to the above changes, there are many other changes to the endgame. In addition to the changes to the game itself, there are also some UI optimizations. In short, the developers did not try to adjust the current POE 2 currency drop rate, but increased the number of monsters in the map, as well as the probability of rare monsters and magic monsters appearing. This can be regarded as a disguised increase in the drop rate of various currencies, but the drop rate of Waystone has been reduced. It can be predicted that Waystone will become popular after the release of patch 0.1.1.

Skills

• The range of Supercharged Slam is now capped at 3 meters.
• The stacking effect provided by Scavenged Plating will now increase in number according to the rarity of the enemy. Common enemies provide you with one layer, rare enemies provide you with 5 layers, and unique enemies can provide you with 10 layers.
• The effect of Temporalis Unique Body Armour can no longer reduce CD of skills to less than 100 milliseconds.
• Skills in Meta Gems can no longer gain energy.
• When the first hit causes a critical hit, Choir of the Storm’s amulet will no longer trigger greater lightning bolts.

Other changes to skills are basically changes to the skill description, and the skills themselves have not changed. Patch 0.1.1 is very light on skill changes, but Meta Gem changes may affect a lot of builds.

Monsters

• Every time a monster receives an Essence modifier, their toughness increases a little.
• The behavior of Filthy Crone using Projectile Vomit skill in front of you has been removed, because it is very disgusting. Players take less damage from the vomit of Bog Hulks and Rotting Hulks.
• The number and damage of grenades thrown by Forsaken Miners have been reduced.
• Rudja, the Dread Engineer’s damage has been reduced.
• Corrected the visual effects of Zalmarath, the Colossus’s skills.
• Prowling Shades will no longer cloak as often, and the chance of these monsters appearing has also been reduced.
• The visual effects of elemental explosions caused by summons on death and elemental explosions released by rare monsters are now distinguished.
• The monster density in Utzaal area has been reduced.
• Monster energy shield modifiers now provide reasonable shield values.

Many monsters have been nerfed in this patch, and the changes to bosses are focused on modifying the bosses’ world effects, making it easier for players to see the bosses’ moves. Monsters are now less deadly on the map, which means that players will be safer farming currency.

Other Changes

• Added visual effects to which treasure chest enemies appear from.
• Flasks with quality are now recyclable.
• Monsters will no longer spawn near the entrance of the map.
• Items now have a higher chance of rolling ideal affixes.
• The player’s initial resurrection time has been adjusted from 3 seconds to 2.5 seconds.
• Uncut gems now show the level on the item tag.
• Many unique items have been strengthened.
• Many bugs have been fixed.
• Improved the controller experience.
• Fixed some errors in the localization of Traditional Chinese and Thai.

In addition to many bug fixes, the most surprising thing about this patch is that many unique items have been strengthened. This has been complained about before. There are more than a hundred unique items in POE 2, but their effects are not as good as their rarity. Now this has been greatly improved, which also means that various builds will have to rethink their best combinations.

The above is part of the content of POE 2 patch 0.1.1. Patch 0.1.1 has a lot of changes. In short, this update weakens ordinary monsters and strengthens player characters, but the changes to bosses are not big. Players whose characters were not strong enough before can now try Cruel difficulty.

FromSoftware is probably one of the most respected developers today, and is loved by players because of its popular games. At the same time, there are always voices of support and opposition, but even the most respected studios cannot escape criticism, and FromSoftware is no exception.

For FromSoftware itself, some current critics tend to focus on aspects such as the game’s difficulty and the deep narrative presentation of the game’s overall content. Of course, other players in the gaming community also pay great attention to these aspects.

Sometimes, the voice of doubt is not necessarily a bad thing, and this may be an opportunity for Elden Ring Nightreign. The developers seized on the key content of these player feedbacks and chose to use controversial topics to enhance the game experience, perhaps subverting some of the most common criticisms about FromSoftware.

The Original Intention Of Elden Ring Nightreign

In comparison, what makes Elden Ring Nightreign different from other FromSoftware products is that it is designed specifically around cooperative multiplayer games.

In the past, co-op has been a part of FromSoftware’s soulslikes, though it was usually more of an optional variation on each title’s core gameplay. The key to this mode is that bosses and other cooperative aspects are not designed primarily for multiplayer.

However, Elden Ring Nightreign was designed from the ground up to expand these cooperative fundamentals throughout the game. While this may require a different approach to combat design during development, the downside of this approach is that it may make the combat in the game relatively simple, reducing the player’s interest in playing the game.

In other words, if all of Nightreign’s bosses were functionally similar to the bosses in the base Elden Ring, the result would be that the game would lack the excitement and excitement necessary for multiplayer gameplay. Not only that, but it would also seriously undermine the in-game economy if you could just get a bunch of Elden Ring Runes by effortlessly killing bosses.

So the irony of the current situation is that focusing on FromSoftware’s most controversial boss character design trend may be the solution to this problem.

Is The Key To Nightreign’s Success The Design Of FromSoftware’s Controversial Bosses?

At present, many game companies consider the best boss design for multiple players. In the game, they can design challenges to overcome by joining the team. This mode is actually very useful. Fortunately, FromSoftware’s works also have several such challenges, which can be divided into at least two categories.

Other Controversial Boss Team-ups From FromSoftware That Nightreign Could Learn From

FromSoftware bosses that fit this trope include:

• Fool’s Idol - Demon’s Souls
• Capra Demon - Dark Souls
• Ornstein and Smough - Dark Souls
• Living Failures - Bloodborne
• Godskin Duo - Elden Ring

Boss team-ups, also known as gank fights, are perhaps the most notorious soulslike boss trend right now. In this scenario, the player is tasked with taking on multiple different enemies. At their best, these are tense encounters that require careful positioning, planning, and enemy health management.

Facing multiple different enemies doesn't make players panic, and it's wise to confidently use Elden Ring Runes to bolster their abilities.

Conversely, at their worst, these are simply overwhelming and annoying. There’s not enough time left for players to calibrate and develop detailed strategies. However, these challenging fights become more manageable and fun if players can even out the odds with their own reinforcements, as players can brainstorm and work together to come up with a plan.

Gimmick Fights Are A Good Choice For Elden Ring Nightreign

FromSoftware bosses that fit this trope include:

• Dragon God - Demon’s Souls
• Bed of Chaos - Dark Souls
• Micolash - Bloodborne
• Folding Screen Monkeys - Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

Gimmick fights can be described as any type of boss encounter that relies on the player taking actions outside of the normal combat wheelhouse. For example, Demon’s Souls’ Dragon God character requires the player to dodge the attacks of various ballistas as they deal damage to the player.

At the root of the matter, the underlying logic of these boss fights is also problematic, as they don’t take advantage of the game’s true core mechanics and therefore don’t generate much reward in the game.

Gimmick fights are fine as a nice way to vary the gameplay, but as boss fights, they’re often frustrating, annoying in some ways, and at worst, boring.

However, these puzzle-like fights are more fun to play with other players, as they can be designed around communication and multitasking, making the game’s combat scenes more engaging.

What’s The Point Of Implementing Controversial Bosses?

In large part, these more controversial boss mechanics were added to Nightreign because of its single-player mode. If these bosses were designed specifically for co-op, they would be equally annoying to play with a single player, or even more annoying than when encountered in co-op mode.

However, this design is basically the opposite of the status quo of most FromSoftware soulslikes. Because the bosses in FromSoftware Soulslike are designed for single players, it is very easy to defeat them with the help of other players in cooperative mode.

However, since Nightreign is a cooperative game, such a subversion actually makes sense.

Facing the current situation where challenges and opportunities coexist, and praise and doubts coexist, FromSoftware needs to respond calmly and actively learn from some lessons from previous negative reviews. When designing Elden Ring Nightreign, the boss settings in the game need to take into account players in different play modes.

We believe that under the influence of the success of many previous popular games, FromSoftware can target players’ evaluations and feedback and bring more new experiences worth looking forward to in Elden Ring Nightreign.

Currently, the clever cross-integration between online games and popular film and television IPs is developing in full swing, and this unique model will inject new vitality into the entire gaming industry in 2025.

In the game settings, new limited-time modes, operators and weapon blueprints can be added to it based on relevant plots in popular shows.

The Netflix drama Squid Game, which has been popular all over the world in recent years, has integrated into the recently updated Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 as a special co-branded experience.

What is exciting is that the show will not only appear in multiplayer game modes but also in Zombies and Warzone modes.

It is necessary to be vigilant that players need to pay attention to any suspicious people who play Ddakji or ask you to choose between bread and scratch cards in the game. In other words, unless you want to participate yourself, don’t trust others easily to avoid falling into unnecessary scams.

When Does Squid Game Appear In The Game?

As of now, an official release date has been announced, CoD Black Ops 6 updates are usually released between 9am and 11am PST.

According to the Call of Duty X account, Squid Game appeared in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on Friday, January 3, 2025.

What Can We Expect In The Dream Crossover With Squid Game?

According to the Call of Duty blog post, the game modes in the new season of the collaboration with Squid Game are multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone modes. In addition, an additional emerging limited-time mode has been added to provide players with a richer gaming experience.

In the official trailer for the collaboration, we can see that the up update will include a Red Light, Green Light game set in Red Card, and ddakjis may replace dog tags in Kill Confirmed.

In the trailer clip, we can also capture a key piece of information: Red Light, Green Light will make an appearance in Warzone as the animatronic girl guards a few chests. Players should actively obtain useful items that may appear in these guard boxes in the game, such as some rare Redeem Codes. We hope that you can obtain these rewards and have rich game fun at the same time.

At the same time, new operators dressed in iconic Squid Game fashion will appear in the game. There is also one of the workers, Front Man, VIP, players 115 and 006, and even the robot girl in Red Light, Green Light. Players can also upgrade their original equipment or weapons to better adapt to the new mode.

In the promotion of this new cooperation, players can pay attention to the relevant information released by the official website of the game, complete the corresponding interaction on the official website, and see if there is a chance to win corresponding rewards, such as relevant skins or game props in the game, to get a different gaming experience.

More importantly, according to the information mining in the official trailer, new weapon blueprints are also about to be released. But since there are not many iconic weapons in this series, the characters in these games may hold MP5s or brand new game skins.

The clever insertion of well-known classic elements in these dramas will greatly enhance the interest of players in the game, and also provide a major selling point for drama fans and increase the exposure of the game.

What Is Still Unknown About Cooperation With Squid Game?

So far, we can only understand the possible modes in the upcoming updated game through short trailers. We also know very little about the emerging limited-time modes.

But from the content shown in the trailer, it involves Red Light, Green Light across multiplayer and Warzone.If you are a newcomer to the game and are not familiar with the specific details of this joint event, don’t worry, you can try to train your abilities by playing BO6 bot lobbies.

As for Zombies, the VIP spectators who appear in the show will also watch on the balcony, and they will also watch your confrontation with zombies with great interest. This is all the information we can know at present.

How Long Will This Cooperation Mode Between The Two Last?

As of January 28, 2025, Black Ops 6 Season 1 is expected to end.

As one of the Season 1 reloaded events, the cooperation with Squid Game is highly valued and far-reaching. Based on this, it can be inferred that the joint activities of the two will end before or on the same day as the 28th.

The above is all the relevant information about the dream collaboration between Netflix’s popular show Squid Game and COD BO6. Players and drama fans, please hurry up and join the game to create more sparks with the new joint characters!

Although only 6 classes are available in the current early access of POE 2, it has already brought a lot of fun to players. Each class has different gameplay ideas and build cores, and there are two ascendancy subclasses for players to upgrade their character build, which makes players feel a little tricky about how to grow their characters, but also makes players addicted.

After a period of testing, players have experienced the differences between different classes. Some classes are easy to operate at the beginning, but become very complicated after the character build matures. Some classes require very complicated operations at the beginning, and require a lot of POE 2 Currency to build equipment and adjust skill gems, but after the character build matures, they will become very powerful.

So for players, how difficult are these six classes in the game?

Sorceress

Sorceress is a traditional caster class. Compared with other classes, Sorceress sacrifices its physical defense in exchange for high elemental damage. As a spellcaster, Sorceress can destroy enemies with lightning from a distance, thus preventing herself from being emptied of health by monsters approaching her. In the mid-to-late game, players who want to ensure survival can also invest skill points in the passive skill energy shield.

Sorceress’s main means of dealing damage are stacking lightning damage, shock, and electrocute. Sorceress has AOE means to deal with multiple enemies, and can also deal a lot of damage to a single enemy. But note that Sorceress deals spell damage, not attack damage. So when choosing affixes, don’t choose affixes that increase attack damage, even if there is an affix that increases elemental damage caused by attack, don’t choose it, it’s useless for Sorceress.

In the later stage of the game, Sorceress can also increase her elemental damage through buff gems, and can also enhance her lightning elemental damage through Stormweaver ascendancy. The energy shield will also be greatly enhanced to ensure Sorceress’s survivability. For most players, Sorceress may be the simplest class.

Ranger

Ranger is in a similar situation to Sorceress in the early stage. Both can cause a lot of damage at a distance, and their defense in close combat is relatively weak. However, in actual operation, Ranger is much more complicated than Sorceress. Ranger is a character with good damage and a high upper limit, and it also requires the player to grasp the opportunity and have the awareness to avoid danger.

Ranger has strong mobility and skills that can control the enemy. Ranger has AOE skills that can cause poison and lightning and also has skills such as Escape Shot and Freezing Salvo to escape or control the enemy. This allows Ranger to have a lot of time to cause damage to the enemy.

However, compared with Sorceress, Ranger’s survivability is much worse. His main way to avoid damage is to dodge. This requires players to be able to observe the movements of Boss and the composition of the monsters, and keep attacking while moving, which is still difficult for some players.

Witch

The style of Witch character is more like a summoner, and her advantages and disadvantages are obvious. Witch seems to be at ease when facing ordinary monsters on the map. Her army of summons blocks the monsters’ path, and she can stand in a safe place to attack the monsters. But when Witch faces the boss, the power of her summons is greatly reduced.

This situation will not improve until the mid-game, when Witch obtains the ascendancy class. Many Witch players will choose Infernalist, because it allows Witch to obtain a powerful demon form. This form allows Witch to have the power to protect herself without the protection of summons, and the Infernalist has Hell Hound minion, which makes Witch’s summons more abundant. In addition, another supplement to Witch’s survivability is the energy shield, which can avoid falling into an embarrassing situation immediately after the death of the minion.

Mercenary

Mercenary is similar to Ranger in terms of output method. They both use elements and poison to attack the enemy at a certain distance, but Mercenary does not have the mobility of Ranger, but has stronger survivability.

Mercenary’s health and armor are better than Ranger, and it also has more ammunition options. Mercenary needs to switch the arrows and ammunition loaded in the crossbow according to the situation during the battle. He can also choose to use Permafrost Bolts to freeze the enemy at a long distance and use Fragmentation Rounds to cause heavy damage to the enemy at close range. At the same time, he can also use Grenades with poison gas to cause large-scale damage to the enemy.

Although Mercenary has a variety of attack methods, he is not top-notch in defense and still needs to keep a certain distance from the enemy. This requires players to maintain a balance between Mercenary’s damage ability and survivability in the build of Mercenary. Players can choose to use POE 2 Chaos Orb to replace the equipment’s attributes with defensive attributes, to allocate skill points to offense.

Warrior

Warriors seem to be a relatively common class in other action games. They have good performance in both output means and survival. Although they are not too strong, they are enough for novices to survive smoothly in the early stage.

However, the melee mechanism of Path of Exile 2 makes warriors unable to face various situations calmly. Warriors can choose to improve their armor or increase their strength to increase their health and enhance their survivability. However, the boss of POE 2 will not allow warriors to withstand its attacks and cause damage. This game encourages players to dodge.

Warriors have a very eye-catching performance when dealing with single enemies. In other words, they are good at dealing with bosses. But he will have a hard time dealing with grouped enemies, which means that he will be more uncomfortable than other characters in the wild, which is why the difficulty of warriors is higher.

Monk

Monk in Path of Exile 2 is a character that is truly suitable for advanced players. His upper limit is very high and his lower limit is also very low. When players are familiar with monks, he should be the character with the fastest clearance speed. Monk is a melee mage. He not only has strong mobility but also can get close to the enemy to deal elemental damage and control. Many skills of monks rely on energy charging. Energy charges complement the skills of monks and can enhance their output.

The core output method of Monk is relying on Tempest Bell, which allows him to continuously accumulate the power of thunder and lightning to shock opponents in battle. However, if the monk wants to deal with the highest damage, he still relies heavily on Path of Exile 2 Items. A good long staff can double his damage.

Compared with the output of Monk, his survivability is relatively weak. The main attributes of monk are agility and intelligence, which means that he mainly relies on dodge and ability shield to survive in battle. Players need to pay attention to the consumption of energy shields at all times and keep moving in battle.

The above is the difficulty of the six classes in Path of Exile 2 at this stage. Monk is currently the most difficult class, but it is also the most worthwhile class to try. Monk is very dependent on operation in battle, and players can feel a lot of satisfaction after using monk to defeat the boss. There are still six classes in Path of Exile 2 that have not been opened. The monk may not be the most difficult character. Let us look forward to the changes that the subsequent updates of POE 2 will bring to players.

Recently, with the developer’s confirmation of the release date of Genshin Impact version 5.3, Genshin Impact has once again topped the game’s hot search list.

The developer also revealed in the live broadcast that this version 5.3 will launch some new characters and some new event banners. This can’t help but raise players’ expectations for this Genshin Impact update.

It is reported that this update will launch 4 new characters and two new Lantern Rite skins. The main game content updates include a major Flagship Event and the end of Archon Quest mission in Natlan area.

These update details not only make Genshin Impact 5.3 a hot topic but also reflect the developer’s determination to provide fans and players with a better gaming experience.

New Event Banners

It has been confirmed that Genshin Impact 5.3 has announced new event banners, including Citlali and Mavuika will appear in the first half of the content of this version, and Arlecchino and Clorinde will appear in the second half.

In addition, this update will introduce a new Chronicled Banner, and it will feature the character lineup of Liyue region.

In this update, although Xianyun and Yelan are not in Chronicled Banner, players can have the opportunity to obtain some other 5-Stars characters in Lantern Rite event in 2025, such as Baizhu, Shenhe, Keqing, Ganyu, Xiao, Tartaglia and Qiqi.

According to the developer, the character restrictions in the previous Chronicled Wish were very strict, resulting in Shenhe, who had only been replayed once, not being added to it.

Therefore, in this update, the developer took into account the needs of more players and relaxed the character restrictions, allowing players to better choose their favorite characters.

This update also breaks event banners rule that has existed since Inazuma, and for the first time, two new 5-stars characters will be shown at the same time in the first half of the new patch, and they will also appear on event banners at the same time.

It is speculated that Mavuika and Citlali will be shown on event banners at the same time, and the new character Lan Yan will appear in the second stage with Arlecchino and Clorinde. Although these are just predictions, it is very likely based on the information previously leaked by the developers.

New Events And Rewards

The developers confirmed that the update will add Natlan Archon Quests content. In addition, version 5.3 will also add a new world boss, and after defeating it, players have the opportunity to get useful materials to upgrade Citlali’s Ascension.

In addition, it was revealed that the new character Mavuika will also appear in a story character, and Act 3 of Masters of Night Wind Story Quest will also be unlocked. After completing this story quest, players will also have the opportunity to receive Mavuika material rewards dropped by the game.

In addition, the new patch of this update will also hold the annual Lantern Rite Festival event. Hu Tao is the protagonist of this event, and she and Xiangling will have new skins during the event.

However, Hu Tao’s skin is a high-level item, which may require you to use Genshin Impact Genesis Crystals to obtain it.

But, in order to reward players who participate in Lantern Rite Festival event and complete the event tasks, the developer will give Xiangling’s skin to players for free as a task prize.

In addition, there is also good news worth paying attention to. That is, players can receive a 4-star character for free in the Liyue area by participating in the event.

And players can also participate in the event in the form of free-to-play accounts and have the opportunity to get some Intertwined Wishes, which will be very useful for players to collect Primogems.

In addition, there are some other activities in the new version, including adding a new permanent rhythm game mode, battle event, and a new version of Beetle Battle. At the same time, the cooldown time of the world boss and the expansion of Artifact inventory limit have been cancelled.

Moreover, if players log in to the game during the launch of Genshin Impact 5.3, they will receive 10 wishes and some materials as rewards. Another event will provide players with many Primogems and some additional materials as rewards, and these materials will be distributed to your account in the form of mail.

In addition, for players other than Xbox platform, as long as you log in to Genshin Impact 5.3, you will have a chance to get a Xbox glider in Genshin Impact.

Another aspect worth noting is that the content of Weapon Banners after this update will be very rich. The iconic weapons of the new characters are powerful choices for other characters, and Mavuika’s weapons can basically be used in the game scene.

For characters like Baizhu who uses Shield or Elemental Mastery, Starcaller’s Watch should be the weapon they crave. Because of these new changes in Weapon Banner, it is easier for players to get these Signatures.

Given the new content and generous rewards brought by this Genshin Impact version 5.3 update, if you are a fan of Genshin Impact, then don’t miss this update!

How To Get Ring Of Starless Skies?

First, you need to make sure you have reached World Tier 3 and above in Diablo 4. Unique rarity items will only start to drop at this level. You can get Ring of Starless Skies in the following ways.

Defeat The Bosses That Drop Ring Of Starless Skies

Ladder Bosses and Uber Bosses will have a chance to drop the unique items you want. You can get Ring of Starless Skies by grinding bosses. The following bosses can drop Ring of Starless Skies:

• Varshan
• Lord Zir
• The Beast in the Ice
• Grigoire
• Echo of Duriel
• Echo of Andariel

Defeat these bosses and you will have a chance to get Ring of Starless Skies. Of course, the drop rate of different bosses is slightly different. Among them, Duriel and Andariel have a higher chance of dropping Ring of Starless Skies. If you want to get Ring of Starless Skies quickly, you can focus on grinding these two bosses.

You need to summon them at Torment 1 and above. The following are the locations and summoning conditions of these two bosses:

Echo Of Duriel

Duriel is located in Gaping Crevasse, Kehjistan. You need to use 2 Mucus-Slick Eggs and 2 Shard of Agony to summon it.

Echo of Varshan has a chance to drop a Mucus-Slick Egg, and defeating Galvanic has a chance to obtain Shard of Agony.

Echo Of Andariel

Andariel is located in Hanged Man’s Hall, Kehjistan, and you need to use 2 Sandscorched Shackles, 2 Pincushioned Dolls and 1 Stygian Stone to summon it.

Sandscorched Shackles can be obtained by defeating Lord Zir, and Pincushioned Doll can be obtained by defeating The Beast in the Ice.

In addition, participating in Endgame Content such as World Bosses or Nightmare Dungeons also has a chance to obtain Ring of Starless Skies.

Crafting At The Alchemist

You can craft Ring of Starless Skies using Resplendent Sparks. There are two ways to make it:

Trade With Jewel Crafter

If you think grind boss is too troublesome, you can try to trade with Jewel Crafter to get Ring of Starless Skies. Bring specific materials to trade with Jewel Crafter to get the specified unique items.

The materials required to make Ring of Starless Skies are as follows. Please make sure you have enough materials, otherwise the transaction will fail.

• 6 Cem
• 6 Ohm Ohm
• 6 Tzic Tzic
• 2 Resplendent Sparks

Make It At Blacksmith

If you don’t have enough materials, you can also choose to use Resplendent Sparks to convert unique items at Blacksmith. However, the items obtained by conversion are random and cannot guarantee that you will get Ring of Starless Skies. You can convert once to every 2 Resplendent Sparks.

If you don’t get Ring of Starless Skies at once, you can try a few more times - as long as you have enough Resplendent Sparks. Resplendent Sparks can be obtained by recycling Mythic items, defeating Uber Lilith, etc.

Gambling With Purveyor Of Curiosities

Like using Resplendent Sparks to convert at Blacksmith, this is a matter of luck. If you have enough Obols, you can gamble with Purveyor of Curiosities to get the items you want. However, the drop rate of Ring of Starless Skies is low, and you are likely to waste a lot of Obols.

The above is the effect always to obtain Ring of Starless Skies in Diablo 4. If you are worried about maintaining resources, this mythic unique ring will be of great help to you. The best way to get Ring of Starless Skies is grand Duriel and Andariel. If you are confident about challenging them, then go!

In Act 2 of Path of Exile 2, players have to travel to three different areas of Vastiri to reassemble Horn of the Vastiri. This is divided into three different quests.

One of the quests, A Crown of Stone, will lead players to Valley of the Titans and Titan Grotto. Zalmarath the Colossus is waiting at the end of the player’s journey. After you finish the quest, you can get Uncut Support Gems from an NPC. However, it is a very powerful boss, and if you want to defeat it, you need to master some tips.

Location Of Zalmarath The Colossus

Zalmarath the Colossus is the final boss of A Crown of Stone. Players need to travel through Valley of the Titans and fight this gigantic stone statue at the end of Titan Grotto.

But before you can go to Titan Grotto, you need to find three seals in Valley of the Titans and activate them. This will unlock the way to Titan Grotto. Unfortunately, Valley of the Titans is a fairly large area. So don’t be impatient. Players can upgrade your level first here. Maybe you can find some POE 2 Currency in this area to improve your weapons before setting off and make good use of Checkpoints and Waypoints in this area.

When you reach the end of Titan Grotto, Zalmarath will stand behind Dais of Reckoning and fight you.

Attention

Compared to the huge body of Zalmarath the Colossus, Dais of Reckoning where players fight is quite small. This means that Zalmarath’s attacks will not allow players to stand still and output.

What’s worse is that as the battle gets longer, Dais of Reckoning will gradually collapse, and there will be less and less area for players to move, so this battle is very challenging for players to adjust their positions. In addition, don’t fight a protracted battle with Zalmarath, and deal with it as quickly as possible.

Zalmarath mainly causes physical damage to players, but it also has attacks with lightning and fire. Players can equip equipment with high armor values ​​to resist its attacks, which will increase the tolerance rate of this battle. Zalmarath’s weakness is Cold, and players can use POE 2 Chaos Orb to adjust your skill gems and equipments according to its weakness.

Dodge Zalmarath The Colossus’s Attacks

The fight with Zalmarath is a bit difficult, because many of its attacks have a very large range. But the good news is that Zalmarath can be avoided, and it is not quite difficult to defeat it as long as you can grasp the timing of hiding correctly.

Below are each of Zalmarath’s attacks and how to deal with them.

Sword Stab

Attack: Zalmarath will thrust its gigantic sword into the center of Dais of Reckoning, and then pull the sword back in front of him. It pierces the ground quickly, but it is not fast to pull his sword back.

Dodge: The player can roll towards the colossus or away from Zalmarath to avoid its first attack. Then roll to the side to avoid the second attack.

Sword Slash

Attack: Zalmarath stabs the sword into the area in front of it, and then pushes the sword forward.

Dodge: Its first attack is not such easy to dodge, but you can dodge to the side as it pushes its sword forward.

Sword Upheaval

Attack: Zalmarath holds its sword with both hands and slashes to the side.

Dodge: This attack only happens if you are close to it and to its right side. So dodge to the left to avoid it.

Upheaval

Attack: Zalmarath raises its arm and hammers the ground, creating a wave across the field.

Dodge: When you see Zalmarath raise its arm in front of its face, quickly move towards its right arm.

Forehand Swipe

Attack: Zalmarath’s left hand sweeps from left to right, then uses its right sword to swing across the field.

Dodge: Dodge backwards as fast as you can, being careful not to get stabbed by its sword.

Backhand Swipe

Attack: Zalmarath’s left hand sweeps from right to left, then uses its sword to swipe across the field.

Dodge: Dodge backwards, then wait to avoid being hit by its sword.

Giga Laser

Attack: Zalmarath sticks its sword in the center of stage and fires a beam across the field.

Dodge: Get behind Zalmarath’s sword.

Summon Drones

Attack: When Zalmarath has about 1/3 of its health left, he summons drones. They explode on impact.

Dodge: You can blow them up by attacking them, or get close to them to make them explode. Be careful not to be hurt by the explosion.

Falling Stalactites

Attack: Zalmarath shoots lasers at the ceiling, causing stalactites to fall.

Dodge: There will be dust vortices where the falling rocks fall, so avoid these areas in advance to avoid being hurt.

Switch Sides

Attack: Zalmarath will fire many Lightning projectiles while moving.

Dodge: Dodge backwards, as far away as possible to avoid Lightning projectiles.

Spiral Laser

Attack: Zalmarath fires a large laser forward from close to his body, with many smaller lasers swirling around it. Sometimes this laser will stay in the center of the field.

Dodge: The laser is not very fast, you can dodge it to the side.

Magma Fissure

Attack: Zalmarath summons two streams of lava and they will randomly cross the field.

Dodge: They leave tracks on the ground, be careful not to step into them.

Triple Stab

Attack: Zalmarath stabs the field three times with his sword.

Dodge: Stay away from Zalmarath and always be aware of its attacks. Don’t be careless before it stabs for the third time.

Hammer Fist

Attack: When you are close to Zalmarath, it will clench his fist and punch the area in front of it.

Dodge: Be careful, this hit can cause lots of damage. But you can dodge toward Zalmarath’s unmoving arm.

These are basically all the attacks that Zalmarath can have. In fact, if you stick close to Zalmarath, you’ll find that its attacks are easier to dodge. All of Zalmarath’s moves can be dodge able, so as long as you observe patiently and boldly predict its attacks, you can continue to have high output.

After you defeat Zalmarath, you will get The Flame Ruby with other loot and continue your A Crown of Stone. If you don’t need them, you can trade with other plays to get some POE 2 Currency. At that step, you have finished a part of Ancient Vows quest. Anyway, hope this article can help you defeat Zalmarath and let you have fun in Path of Exile 2.

Monopoly GO has a new event that rewards teamwork called Adventure Club. The same point as Partner activity and Racers activity is that in Adventure Club activity, players must join forces with friends and strangers in the game in order to obtain various rewards such as additional Monopoly GO Dice and cash.

What makes Adventure Club different from the monthly Partner Events or Tycoon Racer events is that instead of building something or racing together, you and your partner work together to solve puzzles and reach milestones to earn rewards. There’s a progress bar at the top that tells you your mission objectives, like finding hidden objects or lighting candles.

The first Adventure Club event was Haunted Mansion, but when is it coming back? How does it work? Here’s everything you need to know about Adventure Club.

The Next Adventure Club Event

The next event for Adventure Club has yet to be announced. However, other big events like Partner event are held monthly, so if Adventure Club follows a similar release schedule, we may see the next event launch sometime in January 2025.

Once Scopely announces the date and name of the next Adventure Club event, or if there are any related leaks, we will update you in time.

What Was The Last Adventure Club Event?

The last Monopoly Go Adventure Club event was Haunted Mansion. This is the first-ever Adventure Club event, and it has been released on Thursday, December 12, 2024. You need to team up with seven other players and explore Mr. M’s winter mansion. Unfortunately, the mansion is haunted by unruly ghosts and your team needs to solve a series of spooky challenges and puzzles to restore order.

To start Haunted Mansion event, you need to team up with eight other players. To do this, just click on the plus icon in the center of the board and the player profile in the blank space. Then, on the next screen, click on the plus icon to see the recommended players who can join your team. If you fail to form a team with eight other players before the event begins, don’t worry, Monopoly Go will automatically add any good players to your team.

Haunted Mansion event offers a variety of rewards, including free dice. These rewards are grouped into tiers, and the more progress you make in the event, the more rewards you will get. These include Swap Packs, Sticker Packs, Ghost Goo Shields, and Grumpy Ghost Tokens. The higher value sticker packs have a slightly higher chance of getting Monopoly Go gold stickers, but it is still completely random and depends on luck.

How Adventure Club Events Work?

In Adventure Club events, you must team up with real-life Monopoly Go players to pass cooperative levels and get rewards. After the event starts, you will have some time to create a team and collect the currency required to participate in the event before the adventure begins. You must team up with eight players to participate in the event. Click in the center of the board to create a team.

If you don’t have time to form a team, don’t worry, Monopoly Go will automatically add the players who didn’t join. As with other similar Monopoly Go events, you need to collect event-specific currency to progress in the event. These currencies can be collected by participating in other events, completing Quick Wins, and claiming free gifts that are unlocked every eight hours in Monopoly Go store.

Adventure Club is a mini-game where you explore a location and work as a team to complete milestones and goals, advance through different levels, and ultimately reach the end of the event. Once the team-building phase is over and the adventure event starts, you will have a few days to get through each level and reach the end.

Each level has different objectives that players need to complete, which you can discover by clicking on different parts of the level. For example, in Haunted Mansion event, the objectives require building a bridge and lighting candles in a room. To complete these objectives, players use the event currency to take turns playing a card-based mini-game that is played similarly to Blackjack.

Whenever a player takes an action in Adventure Club, they are presented with three decks of cards, face down, with two cards in each deck and a number assigned to them. When cards are drawn, their sum must equal or exceed the number assigned to the deck when the cards were face down.

Every time you win in this mini-game, your team gets one step closer to completing the level’s objective. You can also automatically get boosts based on your win or loss streak, which can help you beat this card-based minigame.

This is a really cool extra activity and a great way to team up with other players to bring a new dimension to Monopoly Go. While I loved the original form of partner activities, and those are still in the roster, it’s nice to change things up with a different style of team activities.

That’s it for Adventure Club activity guide. Are you looking forward to the next Adventure Club activity? We look forward to seeing you in the game! If you’re missing something during your game, you can visit our IGGM Discord, which has giveaway information for the game. Have fun!

Guest Relations is an activity launched by WoW 20th Anniversary to find secrets and obtain treasures. You need to follow the progress line of the task release, wear your detective cap, and keep exploring. In the process of completing Secrets of Azeroth-style objectives, you will find some boxes. At this time, you need to unlock the treasure chest password to obtain the props, achievements and detective title after the treasure chest is unlocked.

Very occasionally, in the process of exploring and decrypting to obtain rewards, you may accidentally find an Inert Peculiar Key, and this key will also lead your attention to Incognitro.

Incognitro Overview

Incognitro is a hidden and difficult to decipher demon motorcycle in the Guest Relations event launched by WoW Classic 20th Anniversary.

This mysterious demonic mount is hidden behind a bunch of very challenging puzzles. You need to unlock a series of puzzles and get clues to solve the puzzles and get this Incognitro.

After nearly a month of exploration, some fans have finally unlocked the method to obtain this Incognitro. According to the players who have unlocked it, Incognitro is located in Karazhan Catacombs, surrounded by a dozen dark torches.

At this time, if you want to unlock it, you need to explore every corner of Azeroth in WoW Secret Finding Discord, looking for clues to light torches to unlock Incognitro. Finally, after three weeks, some players successfully unlocked Felcycle mount in the process of lighting 9 torches.

How To Unlock Incognitro?

It is definitely not easy to unlock this Secrets of Azeroth Mount - Indecipherable Felcycle. You need to search all over the world and reach specific locations related to Mankrik and his ever-elusive wife, and then you need to bring Mounts, Pets, and Toys with specific words in their names to the mysterious Troll Altars.

In addition, if you have successfully obtained Pets in other secret activities in World of Warcraft before, then congratulations, you have the opportunity to fight a powerful hidden NPC, but in order to win the reward, you must defeat NPC and complete a series of other challenging tasks.

According to some players, the first Inert Peculiar Key was discovered on November 8, 2024, but it took 21 days to complete the torch task to unlock this rare WoW 20th Anniversary mount.

Although most torch tasks only take a few days to complete successfully, the ninth puzzle took players a lot of time because this puzzle requires you to decode a string of numbers with an in-game code, which requires three decoding to complete the task.

Obviously, you can find it difficult to crack this secret, so you need to spend a lot of time. At this time, you can use WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold to replenish consumables, so that you have a greater chance of completing this difficult task.

Rewards For Unlocking Felcycle Mount

It is worth celebrating that, in order to encourage your participation, this WoW Classic 20th Anniversary secret you won is different from the rewards available in Guest Relations. It will still be usable after the World of Warcraft Classic Anniversary event ends, and you can also add Incognitro to your collection.

In addition, players who win Incognitro also get a spell called Override Sequence, which can replace your hotbar with numbers to unlock the protected functions of Felcycle mount.

But now, there are still three torches that have not been lit, and they will emit an ominous Void-colored glow, which shows that the secrets are far from over. There are still more secrets about this Felcycle mount that have not been solved.

Whether it’s flight, dynamic ground travel or other functions of Incognitro, if you want to explore and solve these secrets, then come and participate!
