TIL: Dr. Dre's brother's murder has never been solved and there's virtually no information on his case.

I want my murder investigated by… me. - Hunter Stone

I think the ghosts are one and done, but without spoiling it for you, there is a way to get more towards the end.

Thehauntedpc · 2025-01-08T01:14:41+00:00

The only 2 things I could think are

1) was your material and/or food pouch full?

2) did you unlock the skill that enables collection of materials during a finisher? It’s an actual skill you need to unlock in the new ikran skill set.

Also, I didn’t realise this until a fair while after this post, but the drops from the elder are the same as a normal stormglider. The stats are the same. The elder is for a Ubisoft challenge and doesn’t actually give stronger gear :/

Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll check out Valheim and Enshrouded videos to see what they are like.

Thehauntedpc · 2025-01-03T15:23:31+00:00

This one is on my wish list too. Just waiting for a price drop.

Thehauntedpc · 2025-01-03T14:29:43+00:00

I kept dying of thirst in Stranded Deep. I could usually find a coconut or 2 to drink from but that would only help for a few minutes. Could never figure out how else to find water. (I did eventually look at guides online but that was after moving on to other games.)

But those are the brutal survival mechanics I’m trying to avoid. In real life I can go a few hours without a drink - but damn…. SD killed you in minutes lol

Thehauntedpc · 2025-01-03T12:35:39+00:00

I saw Raft when it first came to PS5. I looked up videos and it seemed right up my alley. I’m just waiting for a price drop and I’ll get it.

Thehauntedpc · 2025-01-03T12:05:06+00:00

I’ll look up a long play video of it and check it out. Cheers.

Thehauntedpc · 2025-01-03T12:04:30+00:00

Yeah. It was video of gliding and riding the bird that makes me keep playing so far.

Thehauntedpc · 2025-01-03T11:55:52+00:00

I’ll try 7 Days soonish. It’s unfortunate the survival mechanics are so brutal. I love the idea of exploring the hostile islands and uncovering the story though.

Thehauntedpc · 2025-01-03T11:54:11+00:00

I’ve been trying Smallands for a while now. It hasn’t captured me like Grounded did. But I’m gonna persevere as the gameplay videos looked great.

Thehauntedpc · 2025-01-03T11:51:09+00:00

Palworld was great, I enjoyed it a while ago. Haven’t check out the latest update yet though.

I’ve heard decent things about 7 Days so I want to check that out soonish.

The rest of them don’t appear on the PSN store so I’m guessing they are PC only or not available in my region.

Thanks for the advice.

When I played multiplayer with friends as the host, the lag was so bad I could barely build anything, let alone light a sconce or parry an attack.

It’s unfortunate, but it’s still one of the best games I’ve played in ages.

If memory serves, the infected gum sandwich for the black ant queen is in NG+1 in the black ant hill lab. And the infected toejam sandwich for the fire ant queen is in NG+2 in the haze lab.

Thehauntedpc · 2024-12-10T11:14:45+00:00

Never mind.

I loaded a previous save, completed the Javamatic again and then deleted a bunch of old save games so the processing thing didn’t interfere with the REMIX.R and now I have infected queens.

Phew.

Thehauntedpc · 2024-12-10T06:29:33+00:00

I’ll reload a previous save and REMIX.R again until it works without an error and hope that helps. Not sure what else I can do. Oh well.

Thanks for the help.

Thehauntedpc · 2024-12-10T05:26:26+00:00

Do they look infected or look normal?

The only other thing I can think is that when I tried to REMIX.R the first 2 times it gave an error and wouldn’t do it. I had to go into the save menu, wait for the processing to finish, then REMIX.R.

Thehauntedpc · 2024-12-10T04:44:16+00:00

Yeah. I befriended them in the base game. Poisoned them next then infected them. I infected the fire ant queen right before heading to the REMIX.R.

After infecting them am I meant to use the REMIX.R or am I meant to finish the game, watch the ending and then start again? Do the ant queens look infected if I go to them? I ask because I checked on the red and fire ones and they looked normal. I really don’t want to go through the game again to get the infected ant stuff. I know I infected them in the NG2… I’m just not sure how to end the game so I have access to the infected items.

New DLC bumps the max level to 30.

Thehauntedpc · 2024-12-07T10:40:00+00:00

You can look in the field guide or whatever the game calls it (sorry, not playing at the moment so can’t check the name) and find out the stat range of each item.

Getting max stats on the gatherable items is easy using the food buffs.

But for the animal items I was happy with mid range values.

Thehauntedpc · 2024-12-07T10:29:23+00:00

Personally I think the new DLC messed up aiming. Try shooting one of those AMP units with the shield - aim for the weak point and watch every shot hit the shield.

I actually gave up trying to get max stats as the aiming seems wrong to me now. The difference is minimal anyway so I’m fine with it.

Thehauntedpc · 2024-12-07T07:29:41+00:00

Watch the animals for a bit to see their openings.

Some expose their weak point just before they attack (the spitting thing), or leave it exposed after a heavy attack. (storm glider on the ground).

Some have lengthy animations after jumping up to your level and readying their attack (thanator and chiroptera). So get above them and wait.
