Diablo 4: Legacy of the Mages – This is how the Wizard quest works

Nicole Wakulczyk Nicole Wakulczyk Reading time 3 minutes

To use the enchantments in Diablo 4 as a Sorcerer, you need to complete the class quest “Legacy of the Magi.” You can learn how to do this here on MeinMMO.

Once you reach level 15 as a Sorcerer in Diablo 4, you automatically receive the quest “Legacy of the Magi.” This quest is essential for your class as it unlocks the enchantments that provide you with passive versions of skills.

How do I start the quest? Upon reaching level 15, the quest “Legacy of the Magi” appears in your journal. Your objective is now to follow the “astral call.” The quest marker will guide you to the Shattered Peaks in the Desolate Highlands, southwest of Kyovashad.

As you explore the area, you will eventually encounter Mordarin, the traveling Sorcerer, whom you need to speak to. He mentions that he is searching for the book “Forgotten Codex” – the manual for enchantment techniques. Unfortunately, the place is crawling with demons, and indeed you must retrieve it.

You will find the book in the dungeon “Forgotten Archives”

Where do I find the book? To find the book, you need to enter the dungeon “Forgotten Archives,” which will be marked on your map. You can find it southwest of the waypoint “Nevesk.” Inside the dungeon, you will mostly encounter hostile woodworkers. You will find the chest with the book on the right side of the dungeon.

What do I do with the book? Once you have the book in your inventory, you should return to Mordarin. You give him the codex pages and then follow him into the small den next to you – “Abandoned Stall.” There, you need to ignite the four fire bowls, which works with a click.

After that, a few demons will appear that you need to eliminate. Afterwards, Mordarin tells you that he should probably go over the notes again and leaves you with the book. You have successfully completed the quest “Legacy of the Magi.”

Unlocking the Enchantment Slot

What do I get from this? By completing the class quest, you unlock the enchantment slot. You can assign skills to this to receive passive bonuses. For example, you can now use “Enchantment: Fireball,” which makes enemies explode in a fireball upon death, dealing damage. You unlock a second enchantment slot at level 30.

Enchantments provide Sorcerers with passive bonuses from skills

In dungeons, as well as in the open world of Sanctuary, you will find various chests containing loot. If you’re lucky, a fortune might await you in one of the chests – but some also hold an unpleasant surprise: Diablo 4: You should open every chest in Season 3; there could be a fortune inside – or a trap

A 12-year-old strategy game jumps from 40 to 40,000 players on Steam in one day

Lydia Lydia Reading time 2 minutes

Endless Space was released 12 years ago on Steam, but suddenly it has more players than ever before. MeinMMO reveals what is behind it.

What kind of game is this? Endless Space is a 4X strategy game where players can choose from one of 8 galaxies and seize control of the galaxy. It was released on July 4, 2012, and received a “mostly positive” rating on Steam.

However, the player numbers remained rather moderate, with only a few peaks, mostly ranging from a few hundred to about 2,000 players. On the morning of Tuesday, January 23, 2024, German time, there were only 48 people in the game. By night, the number skyrocketed to 41,263 concurrent players, the highest value that Endless Space has ever reached (via SteamDB).

Both Endless Space and Endless Legend are developed by Amplitude Studios, which is celebrating its 13th birthday this year.

More players through discounts than with free keys

What’s going on? Amplitude Studios, the developers of Endless Space, are celebrating their 13th birthday in 2024. For this occasion, many of the studio’s games are currently heavily discounted. This has already brought another Endless title to unprecedented heights in player numbers.

Endless Space is currently 80% off and costs only €1.99 instead of €9.99 on Steam. However, this offer is valid only until 7:00 PM on January 25, 2024.

Interestingly, the strategy game was already available for free in 2019. At that time, however, “only” 31,000 players were registered concurrently – 10,000 fewer than with the current discount. And it seems that the many new players are indeed enjoying the title, as even now there are still over 12,800 people in the game (as of 5:15 PM, via SteamDB).

Player numbers are also skyrocketing elsewhere. The success of the wacky survival game Palworld was hardly expected in this form.

A new MMO on Steam delivers charming hack-and-slash action in the fight for survival

Linda Knabe Linda Knabe Reading time 2 minutes

In a new MMO, which will also be available on Steam, you will face the task of securing the only safe place for the surviving humanity. With charming graphics, hack-and-slash battles, and good animations, the game recalls a good old sidescrolling RPG, packed with action.

What kind of game is this? Towerborne is a new MMO that will be available for PC via Steam and Game Pass, as well as for Xbox. However, a precise release date is not yet known at this time. According to the trailer, it is expected to come in 2024.

The gameplay, with its 2.5D graphics, is reminiscent of modern beat ’em ups and old sidescrolling RPGs:

Moreover, the game will not only introduce new items and enemies but also expand the world of Towerborne with new areas that you can explore.

The secret survival game by Blizzard is canceled – Employees are to work on other projects

Sophia Weiss Sophia Weiss Reading time 2 minutes

This afternoon, Microsoft announced that it will lay off 1,900 employees as part of a wave of consolidation – including the current Blizzard CEO. However, a current Blizzard project is also being cancelled: the secret survival game.

Which survival game is it about? Microsoft has ended the development of a survival game by Activision/Blizzard. It was announced in January 2022, but unfortunately, there have been no further significant updates from Blizzard since then. However, back then, positions for lead artists, designers, and programmers were advertised.

Microsoft lays off 1,900 employees in the gaming sector: “Painful decision”
von Dariusz Müller

What has been known about the game so far? Blizzard has so far kept very quiet about the game. It has been referred to as Unannounced Survival Game and it was supposed to be a world full of heroes, stories, and adventures.

However, it was important that the game was supposed to be a completely new IP: the setting would not relate to or be inspired by the well-known Blizzard universes such as Overwatch, Starcraft, Warcraft, or Diablo. This would have made it the first new IP for the developer since the release of Overwatch in 2016.

Known features included an open world, a free class and skill system, crafting, and a building mode. Based on the wording in the job postings, it was assumed that the survival game would feature multiplayer or even become an MMORPG.

According to Mike Ybarra, who is now leaving Blizzard as part of the layoffs, the game was already in a playable state in 2022. He announced this on Twitter at the time, now X.com.

Many have to go, but some can continue working on other projects

Why was it cancelled now? The end of development on the game was announced as part of the layoff wave announced by Microsoft today. The move follows the acquisition of Activision/Blizzard by Microsoft, which recently cleared all legal hurdles.

A first consequence of the acquisition was the departure of Activision CEO Bobby Kotick. This caused a sigh of relief in the community. Today, Xbox chief Phil Spencer announced that a total of 1,900 employees will be laid off.

The halt in development for the survival game was announced in a second memo, which the colleagues at The Verge published in full. In it, Matt Booty wrote that Blizzard would end the development of its survival project and assign some of the game’s former employees to other, more promising projects.

Matt Booty has been the current President of Game Content and Studios at Microsoft since October 2023. In this role, he oversees Xbox Game Studios and ZeniMax Media/Bethesda Softworks.

Today’s news follows several months of significant layoffs in both the gaming and tech industries. Just two days ago, the League of Legends developer Riot Games laid off 530 employees.

Successful YouTube channel explains how you could survive in horror movies

Marie Friske Marie Friske Reading time 2 minutes

Nerd Explains on YouTube addresses all scenarios from horror movies like Saw, Cube, or The Human Centipede in videos and plays through how one would most likely survive them. He also explains how to approach the game in the Netflix movie Circle in the smartest way.

What kind of YouTube channel is this? Nerd Explains aims to explain in video essays how to survive various life-threatening monsters, villains, traps, or scenarios in films and series.

He goes through the different situations of a film in great detail, collects and analyzes all the facts regarding the circumstances, to then develop the best survival strategies.

In doing so, Nerd Explains humorously points out the characters’ mistakes, such as overlooking a completely intact phone to call for help, and plays through different theoretical ideas to come to the best outcome.

How successful is Nerd Explains? With this content, the YouTube channel is very successful and has over 1.25 million subscribers. The most viewed video, with over 11.5 million views, is about how you can survive the death game in Circle. (As of January 23, 2024)

How to survive Circle? First, the YouTuber reveals important information that one learns at the beginning about the mysterious mechanism of Circle in order to use it later for the appropriate survival strategy.

For example, it turns out that the participants vote by hand which person will die next. Nerd Explains therefore advises to avoid drawing attention through controversial opinions to not incite the other participants against oneself.

The YouTuber also advises against lies; instead, one should remain calm. However, if one has to say something, it is better to tell an untruth rather than something that could harm oneself.

However, one should not be too calm either, as they might be perceived as unhelpful in the group. Instead of revealing personal information, it would be better to try to contribute something clever about the mechanism.

Nerd Explains then goes through various scenarios: What happens if no one votes? Is it helpful if someone sacrifices themselves? After that, the YouTuber explains how to best manipulate the other participants to secure one’s own survival.

However, overall it is very difficult to see through all the participants and skillfully influence them so that one emerges victorious in the end. Therefore, it is best to let the others make mistakes and, aside from small thoughtful interjections, execute the big manipulation master plan only at the very end.

Destiny 2 reveals how many employees will work on the loot shooter in 2024, Sony is just helping out

Britta ♤ BeAngel Britta ♤ BeAngel Reading time 2 minutes

The developer of Destiny 2 has responded to speculation about its current employee count. Players were surprised by the high number after the layoffs. The clarification sheds light on the studio’s current situation – also regarding the influence of Sony PlayStation – and aims to dispel misunderstandings.

Bungie has responded: In 2024, Bungie stated in a job advertisement that it now has 1,400 employees. This was an increase of 40% since the layoffs the previous year. A number that surprised many players.

Meanwhile, Bungie has updated the figure in the job advertisement on its career website. Additionally, the developer mentioned to forbes the correct numbers to avoid further confusion.

Currently, more than 650 employees are working on Destiny 2

Bungie revealed these numbers: According to the Destiny 2 developer, “approximately 1,350 employees are currently employed, not including contractors or Sony employees.”

  • It has been officially confirmed that more than 650 employees are currently working on Destiny 2.
  • This corresponds to about half of the total workforce of 1,350.
  • Yes, Bungie has cut many positions after the layoffs, but there has been neither a mass turnover of employees nor new hires.

How much support comes from Sony? It was stated that employees and contractors from Sony do indeed assist the developer. However, outside help is not a new strategy. This has been practiced in the past.

The speculation arose after a designer from Sony PlayStation accidentally uploaded some designs of unreleased Destiny 2 weapon models with a PlayStation logo in the center. The description mentioned that these weapon models and textures come from PlayStation Studios Malaysia. Something that has not been seen before.

Who else is Bungie collaborating with? According to thegamepost.com, Bungie has collaborated with several other companies on various aspects of game development in addition to its internal contractors. These include the production of trailers, in-game clips, weapons, and armor.

These partners include SkyBox Labs, The Mill, Axis Studio, BOND, Rebound Sound Company, Bear Down Studios, Mind Walk Studios, TRACE Studio, Lakshya Digital, Krakter, and several others.

Players hope that the collaborations benefit Destiny 2. It is reassuring to know that the majority of the developers at Bungie continue to work on Destiny 2, thereby contributing to the DLC The Final Shape that is so important for the developer in 2024.

Microsoft lays off 1,900 employees in the gaming sector: “Painful decision”

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

US media reports that months after the completion of the Activision-Blizzard deal, Microsoft has laid off 1,900 employees from the gaming sector.

This is the news: According to reports, Microsoft has laid off 1,900 employees who were previously working in the company’s gaming sector. It is said to have specifically affected employees who worked for Activision-Blizzard, Xbox, and ZeniMax.

In an interview with the US magazine The Verge, Xbox chief Phil Spencer stated that the leadership of Microsoft Gaming and Activision Blizzard is committed to developing a “joint strategy and an execution plan with a sustainable cost structure.”

As a result of the resulting process, the company has made the decision to lay off 1,900 employees in the gaming sector.

As part of this process, we have made the painful decision to reduce our number of employees in the gaming sector by about 1,900 out of a total of 22,000 employees. The Gaming Leadership Team and I are committed to making this process as thoughtful as possible. The employees directly affected by these cuts have all played a critical role in the success of Activision Blizzard, ZeniMax, and the Xbox teams, and they should be proud of everything they have achieved here.

Phil Spencer via The Verge

In addition to Activision-Blizzard and Xbox employees, ZeniMax has also been affected. ZeniMax Media is, among other things, the parent company of Bethesda Softworks (The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Starfield), Arkane Studios (Dishonored, Deathloop, Arkane), and MachineGames (Wolfenstein: The New Order).

The latter studio, MachineGames has recently introduced a new game called “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle”, which is set to be released in 2024 and makes the film hero Indiana Jones the protagonist.

The head of Blizzard is also out

As industry insiders and Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier reported on X.com (formerly Twitter), Mike Ybarra is also leaving the company.

Ybarra has been the president of Blizzard since August 2022. Prior to his time at Blizzard, Ybarra worked at Microsoft for 19 years and contributed to projects such as Age of Empires Online and Sunset Overdrive.

For fans of Blizzard games, Ybarra’s departure is likely a significant shock. Especially, as there was some hope recently when Xbox chief Phil Spencer said exactly what Blizzard fans wanted to hear in October 2023 after the purchase of Activision-Blizzard: Xbox chief says all the right things Blizzard fans want to hear after big acquisition

The president of Blizzard leaves unexpectedly – Mike Ybarra is gone

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

A dark day for Blizzard. Not only are many people being laid off, but also President Mike Ybarra is leaving the company.

A message that probably no one really expected before today. The president of Blizzard Entertainment, Mike Ybarra, had his last day at Blizzard today (January 25, 2024). His departure comes alongside over 1,900 layoffs that were announced today.

What happened? It was announced today that there would be a significant number of layoffs at Activision Blizzard and Xbox. At the same time, the president of Blizzard announced on X (formerly Twitter) that today would be his last day. In his farewell message, he wrote:

I want to thank everyone for their significant contributions to the team, Blizzard, and the lives of the players affected by today’s decisions. It’s an incredibly difficult day, and my energy and support will be focused on all the incredible individuals impacted – this in no way reflects your amazing work. If there is anything I can assist with, whether it be connections, recommendations, and so on, please reach out.

To the Blizzard community: I also wanted to let you all know that today is my last day at Blizzard. Leading Blizzard through an incredible time and being part of the team shaping the future has been an absolute honor. After working at Microsoft for 20+ years and now with the acquisition of Activision Blizzard behind us, it is (again) time for me to become the biggest Blizzard fan from the outside.

To the incredible teams at Blizzard – thank you. Words cannot express what I feel for you. You are fantastic. Continue to do incredible things and always ensure that Blizzard stays true to its values and that players are at the forefront of your decisions.

To all those affected by today’s news – I am always available for you and understand how challenging this news is. My heart is with each and every one of you.

Mike Ybarra on X / Twitter

Who is Ybarra? Mike Ybarra has been with Blizzard since August 2021 and has been the president of the company since February 2022. Before Ybarra joined Blizzard, he had worked at Microsoft for many years. He was then considered a trailblazer who was preparing for Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard.

In the community, Ybarra enjoys a fairly good reputation, partly because he always presents himself as a gamer who knows what players want. For a while, he ran high-level WoW streams and also regularly plays other games.

That now, just a few months after the acquisition, it would be Mike Ybarra specifically who would be affected, probably no one saw that coming.

Pokémon GO: You can only get the new Pokémon in one way – and it’s very annoying

With the new Rocket Event, there will also be a new Pokémon in Pokémon GO. We explain to you how you can catch it.

Which Pokémon is it? This weekend the new Stolen-Treasures-event in Pokémon GO is starting. Team Rocket returns and brings some new Crypto-Pokémon that have not yet been found in the game. Additionally, another Pokémon will make its debut in Pokémon GO: Knattox.

This Pokémon comes from the 9th game generation and has the types Steel and Poison. It also has an evolution, Knattatox, which will also be unlocked in Pokémon GO. If you want to hunt for Knattox, you need mainly one thing: patience. Because there is only one way to obtain the Pokémon.

Defeat Rockets, make distance, hatch eggs

How can I obtain Knattox? If you want to catch Knattox, you must first defeat Rocket bosses. Knattox will only be found through hatching 12-km eggs. You will receive these only if you defeat a Rocket boss and have sufficient space in your egg bag.

To challenge a Rocket boss, you need the Rocket Radar. To obtain this, you must first defeat 6 Rocket Grunts.

As there are also several Pokémon that can hatch from 12-km eggs, this can become a lengthy process. After all, you must first defeat the Rocket Grunts each time, find and defeat a Rocket boss, and then hatch the 12-km egg.

If you want to collect multiple specimens of Knattox or quickly get candies through hatching to evolve it, this can take quite some time.

What do you think of the new Pokémon and the method to obtain it? Are you also looking forward to this Pokémon or do you think the process to obtain it is far too tedious?

GTA 6: Tattooed man demands voice role and a few million $ from Take-Two

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In the trailer for GTA 6, a character with facial tattoos appeared. The American Lawrence Sullivan, known as the “Florida Joker”, sees himself as the clear model for this character and makes demands: He wants not only money but also for the characters to speak – and more story in GTA 6 and Maoam.

This is the backstory:

  • In December, Lawrence Sullivan issued a deadline to Rockstar: They were to compensate him within three days, or else he would unleash his lawyers on the company. Two million dollars would be acceptable to him.
  • He accused them of using “his likeness” in the trailer; Rockstar had, in a sense, stolen his life.
  • To the surprise of absolutely no one, Rockstar and Take-Two let this “deadline” of three days pass without further comment, after which Sullivan generously granted them another month. He actually did not want to sue them.

Let’s talk, man

This is the new demand: Now that the bonus month has also expired, Sullivan is reaching out to Rockstar again. Now he demands: “Let me have the character speak, give me a storyline in the game – Let’s make history together, man!”

After all, everyone can see what he has already done well for GTA 6: He has made it to the headlines and blogs. Everyone is writing about him, everyone loves him, man.

It is clear to everyone in Florida that the character in the trailer for GTA 6 is clearly inspired by him.

However, Sullivan does not take the matter lightly: “Stop messing with me, GTA 6! Where’s my money? Call me, let’s make a deal! I don’t want to go to court, with lawsuits, lawyers, and this and that, but if I must, I will!”

He wants them to let him have the character speak and to slide some money over. Where’s his money?

German players who saw the GTA 6 trailer also thought they recognized an old acquaintance in the man with the facial tattoo. However, they did not see Lawrence Sullivan in the character, but a certain Marcel Eris: “11 out of 10” – Twitch streamer MontanaBlack is “really hyped” for GTA 6

Lucky player receives unique skin in CS2: Says he has an offer for 1 million dollars, but he wants more

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

Since the introduction of items on Steam it has become one of the games with the most trading. A rare skin that nobody received for 10 years was recently found. The owner could soon become rich, as there is already a bid of 1 million USD.

What skin is this? The skin in question is AK-47 Case Hardened. The skin can have different patterns and therefore looks slightly different for everyone. Here specifically, it is about the pattern with the number 661, which belongs to the “Blue Gems,” making them particularly valuable.

Here you can take another look at the skin.

Counter-Strike 2: Valve once again impresses with the launch trailer

One million US dollars is not enough for the owner

What about the skin? The skin has already been valued by the famous CS2 streamer OhnePixel at 800,000 to 1 million US dollars. Meanwhile, the owner of the skin created a Twitter account and reached out to interested parties about the skin. He published in his tweet that he has already been offered 1,000,000 US dollars.

Isn’t that enough? Apparently not, because the owner of the skin set the buyout price at double, so 2,000,000 US dollars. The buyout price describes the price at which he would sell the skin directly. The current offer does not seem to have been rejected, but the seller wants to receive further offers for the skin.

To verify that he is truly the owner of the skin, he chose two well-known, trusted individuals from the community as contacts for potential buyers.

Why do we need intermediaries? The intermediaries have several functions.

  • They provide reach so that more potential offers reach the seller
  • They also ensure that not everyone can claim to be the seller

One of the intermediaries, Sam “roflm0nster”, a Twitch streamer with almost 50,000 followers, recently commented on the prices that the lucky owner wants for the weapon.

Here he describes that there probably won’t be another drop of this skin and that other skins are also being traded for such high values.

Level 10: TOTY honorable mentions Julian Brandt (88) – Borussia Dortmund

This TOTY special version of the BVB player Julian Brandt is exclusively available only by reaching level 10 in the new season. He has strong stats for his position. Brandt possesses a strong passing game (90) and good dribbling (90), and his pace (81) and shooting stats (83) are impressive. With a 74 physicality rating and a height of 1.85 meters, Brandt brings an atypical physical presence for his position, which will help him in duels.

Additionally, the BVB star has the playstyles needed for a playmaker:

EA FC 24 TOTY honorable mentions Brandt playstyles

The existing passing playstyles combined with Trivela (outside of the foot) and a 4-star weak foot make him the perfect creator in any situation. With the playstyle ‘Technical’, he can execute the R1-OP dribbling even better. The finesse shot also gives him the ability to take dangerous shots on goal.

Additionally, there is a former BVB star that you can unlock just two levels later.

Level 12: UCL hero Tomáš Rosický (88)

The Czech had five successful years at BVB. While Brandt is slightly better equipped in terms of playstyles, Rosický impresses with slightly more pace. Otherwise, both players are quite similar. BVB fans can certainly enjoy how the two combine on the pitch through the opposing ranks.

These players are also included in the season pass:

  • Level 12: UCL hero Riise (87) – The Norwegian became famous at Liverpool FC for his powerful shot with his left foot.
  • Level 20: Winter Wildcards icon Bergkamp (92) as one of 3 options – A slightly different version of the otherwise soft-footed Dutchman. His winter wildcard edition comes with strong upgrades in defense and physicality.

Actor reports how much he “suffers” from having a similar name to “Spiderman” Tom Holland

Marie Friske Marie Friske Reading time 2 minutes

Actor Tom Hollander (Pride and Prejudice, Pirates of the Caribbean 2) recounted during a late-night show how he is repeatedly mistaken for Marvel star Tom Holland (Spider-Man: Homecoming) and even once accidentally received a paycheck for Avengers – even though he wasn’t in it.

During the Late Night Show with Seth Meyers on January 23, 2024, British actor Tom Hollander was asked about the famous Marvel actor with the similar name, Tom Holland.

The host Seth Meyers asked if people ever made the mistake of confusing the two. To that, Hollander replied with a: Yes.

Hollander humorously explained that it had been very difficult. “I was there first… But he is enormously famous.”

Of course, he wouldn’t be confused with the Marvel star based on looks, but in every other context, his name is constantly mixed up with Tom Holland.

Several times the actor had to emphasize in his professional setting that he is not Tom Holland, but Tom Hollander. “Or I will be introduced to someone’s very, very excited, then confused, then disappointed children,”, said Hollander.

You can watch the YouTube video where Tom Hollander tells the story yourself. Just skip to 8:50:

Even his agency had confused the two actors, who were both represented by the same management for a brief period.

So, the “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor was sitting in the theater to watch a play in which one of his friends was acting when he got a message from his management:

I was sitting smugly in the audience after just having done a BBC show for $30,000 […] intermission came and I checked my emails and got one from the agency saying: ‘Payment receipt for the first box-office bonus for ‘The Avengers’.

said Tom Hollander

Hollander’s first thought was then: “I don’t think I’m in ‘The Avengers’.” Nevertheless, he opened the email and saw that his acting colleague received a seven-figure sum.

Hollander emphasized that this was not the Marvel star’s salary, but just his first box-office bonus. Even this payment was more money than the actor had ever seen, and the smugness about his own fee of $30,000 was gone in an instant.

Baldur’s Gate 3: Player shows the nastiest method to defeat a boss in Act 3

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

There is revenge – and then there is really dark retribution in Baldur’s Gate 3. No boss has been defeated in such a despicable way – because the player’s own mother is involved.

In Baldur’s Gate 3, you have quite a few options to express yourself freely. You can be a shining hero in sparkling armor who brings peace and good deeds everywhere. Alternatively, you can also be a depraved murderer and villain who leads various characters in the game world to their doom to enrich yourself.

Or you are so cruel that you first kill a character’s mother and then use her corpse to beat up her son. A toast to the freedom of choice.

Spoiler warning: This article is about Act 3 of Baldur’s Gate 3 and some decisions you can make there.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is coming to PS5 – Trailer prepares for console release

What happened? In the Baldur’s Gate 3 subreddit, Syntactics2411 shared a small clip showing his fight against Gortash. He is one of the two main villains you face in the last act of the game – or can ally with him.

Gortash is not a blank slate. The whole plan with the mind flayers partly originated from him, and his backstory is particularly intertwined with Karlach. He sold the tiefling to hell, after which her machine was used as a heart, and she had to fight in the arena for devils for years – even though she had trusted Gortash until that point.

Karalach wants revenge for this betrayal and asks the hero to be there when it comes time to deal with Gortash – ideally, she even wants to deliver the fatal blow herself.

And that’s exactly what she does in the video shown. She doesn’t just strike, but goes about it in a particularly insidious way. She pulls Gortash’s mother’s corpse from her inventory and hurls it at her son – which causes enough damage to defeat him.

This kind of cruelty would probably astonish even the “Dark Desire.”

Who is Gortash’s mother? You can find Gortash’s mother in a rather small house in the city of Baldur’s Gate. The parents are not part of any real quest line but provide some additional background information about Gortash. It is also revealed that both parents are already infected with a mind flare worm, and Gortash ensures that they remain ‘trapped’ in their bodies.

It should be mentioned that Gortash’s mother is not exactly the most lovable character you can encounter in Baldur’s Gate 3. She sold her son to a warlock at a young age to avoid falling into deep debt – thus, she isn’t exactly the mother of the year.

Of course, one could discuss whether Karlach would really be so cruel as to send Gortash to hell in this manner – but hey, in the end, it’s quite a creative (if unnecessarily cruel) way to defeat Gortash, which only came about due to the vast freedom of choice in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Whether one should really exploit this freedom to this extent – that ultimately has to be decided by each individual.

Another player made Karlach almost useless – perhaps it’s better to know what else she does.

Palworld: Players grill difficult boss, the developers find it ‘genius’

Christoph Waldboth Christoph Waldboth Reading time 2 minutes

For those who find the opponents in Palworld too difficult, they must resort to more creative methods. A group of players has devised something quite special in the fight against a Mammorest: they grilled the monster.

What is the situation? The bosses in Palworld are not always easy to defeat. Especially not when your character is severely under-leveled. But what if you have enough ambition to defeat the opponent anyway? In that case, players must get creative.

That’s what a group of players thought when they faced a level 38 Mammorest. The Pal was actually much too strong for the group. Most of the players were at level 10.

However, they did not shy away from the fight. As it turned out, the players only dealt a pathetic one damage point per attack. So rather little. That’s why they resorted to an unusual method.

The new roadmap for the game was just presented. Here you get all the information at a glance.

Start video

The players did not fight the boss; they grilled it

What was the group’s tactic? Fortunately, the Mammorest was particularly sensitive to fire. The players took advantage of this weakness. They built about 20 campfires around the boss and kept drawing it into the deadly flames.

Then, the players just had to cleverly dodge the monster’s attacks. The well-placed campfires did the rest and ensured that the Mammorest was literally grilled. But see for yourself:

Building the campfires took about five minutes, according to the group’s statement (via X). The tricky part was luring the boss into the prepared area. Once that was done, the rest of the “fight” was like child’s play. The only downside: the victory occurred so quickly that there was no time left to catch the Pal at the last moment.

Palworld: Experts recommend establishing a ‘life-changing’ ore base – You can build it at this spot

Paul Kutzner Paul Kutzner Reading time 2 minutes

An important aspect in Palworld is collecting resources, including ore. We will explain how you can obtain this resource with significantly less effort.

What is ore? Ore is one of the raw materials available in Palworld. You can only obtain it from ore deposits that you may encounter in the world. The raw material is important for crafting various items, such as weapons or structures.

So that you don’t have to collect the ore yourself, you can automatically farm ore as well. Clever players have now found several locations where automated farms are particularly worthwhile.

Start video
Palworld: How you can level up quickly

Up to 8 ore and 5 coal deposits in a single location

Where is this location? The most lucrative spot can be found at coordinates 190, -40. Here, a user on Reddit has discovered 8 ore and 5 coal deposits just waiting to be mined by you. This makes it a more than good spot to establish another base and have Pals with a high mining skill work there.

This way, you don’t have to manually handle the mining and can explore and enjoy the other aspects of the game in the meantime.

What other good spots are there? In addition to this impressive location, there are several others that have been found and shared by players on Reddit. For example, at this location there are additional deposits that can all be found in close proximity.

Other players are also enthusiastic about these spots. One user commented on the post with the words: It is life-changing!

GTA Online: Exotic Export List – Here you will find the cars

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 3 minutes

In the auto shop of GTA Online, you will find the Exotic Export List for cars. We show you the 100 spawn points of the exotic vehicles on the map and give tips on how to find them. We also show you how much you can earn per day.

What kind of list is this? You can find the Exotic Export List in your auto shop, which you can purchase since the “Los Santos Tuners” update. However, the list is not immediately available in the shop. After you complete the first mission there from one of the mini-heists, the board with the sought exotic cars will be unlocked for you.

Where to find the cars? There are a whopping 100 spawn points across the map of GTA Online where you can catch the vehicles. Some are driven by NPCs. Others are parked and marked with a blue dot on your minimap when you are near one of the listed vehicles.

How to deliver the cars? If you find one of the exotic cars from the list, get in it. When you are behind the wheel, you will receive a prompt to bring the vehicle to the harbor. An anchor symbol will blink on your minimap to guide you. However, a GPS route does not start automatically.

When you arrive at the docks, drive the car into the designated yellow circle. A cutscene will play, and you will have completed the mission.

GTA-Online-Pfeil-Auto-Map-Blauer-Punkt
You will see this blue dot on the minimap near a sought car

How much money does the Exotic Export List bring?

This is how much you earn: With the export list, you can earn 300,000 GTA Dollars per day. It splits up among the vehicles as follows:

  • The first nine cars from the list you collect each earn 20,000 GTA Dollars
  • The tenth and final car on the list earns 120,000 GTA Dollars in one go
  • If you complete the list in one day, you will earn a total of 300,000 GTA Dollars for it

Based on personal testing, it takes about two to three hours to find and deliver all the vehicles. To earn money quickly, other activities might be more effective. However, if you casually export the vehicles, it can be a nice way to fill your bank account.

GTA-Online-Export-Exotisch

All 100 Spawn Points on the Map

Here’s where you should look: All the locations of the car spawns for the Exotic Car List have already been compiled in the GTA forums. The website Gtaweb.eu has integrated the locations into an interactive map, of which we present two screenshots here (via GTAWeb.eu).

GTA Online Locations Exotic Cars

As you can see, the spawns in the upper part of the map of GTA Online are rather scarce. If you are already in that area, you can look for the cars. However, from there, you also have a long way to the docks to deliver the cars.

In the lower half of the map of GTA Online, you will find significantly more vehicles. We recommend keeping an eye out there. The route to the docks is not far from these spawn points.

However, these spawn points are not all active at the same time. It’s best to grab a helicopter and fly roughly over the points. Look out for noticeably tuned cars. These are not the standard NPC vehicles that you are picking up.

Palworld shows new roadmap and players especially love an improvement

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

The roadmap of Palworld shows what updates and patches are planned for the game next. The community is pleased with what the planning reveals.

What does Palworld show? After the release on January 19, 2024, the team already published a roadmap five days later with what players can expect next. The overview is divided into critical issues, improvements that should be implemented quickly, and a preview of what is to happen in future updates.

Here we show you the roadmap and give an insight into the reactions of the community.

Palworld Roadmap from January 24, 2024

This is the roadmap:

Palworld Roadmap January 24, 2024
The official roadmap of Palworld from January 24, 2024
  • Critical issues: Some bugs have been identified and reported, which are now being prioritized for fixing.
  • Some players get stuck on the loading screen when trying to enter a world.
  • Improvements that should be implemented quickly:
  • Important improvements to key mapping.
  • Improvements to the basic AI of the Pals and their pathfinding.

Updates for the future:

  • PvP
  • Raid bosses (as endgame content)
  • Pal Arena (PvP for the Pals)
  • Crossplay for Steam and Xbox
  • Various improvements for Xbox features
  • Server transfer and mergers
  • Improvements to the building system
  • New islands, Pals, bosses, and technologies

No data or timeframes on when these changes and improvements will be implemented in the game have been provided so far. The priority is clearly on fixing bugs and issues as well as the AI. In addition, the team writes on Steam:

We would like to introduce you to our roadmap for Palworld.
The sales figures have significantly exceeded the expectations of the development team, and we currently have many issues, partly due to excessive access overload.
We will first address these problems and then work on implementing new game features.
We thank you for your understanding.

Palworld: How you can level up quickly

Community Reactions

What is well received: Generally, players are pleased that the team finds time to communicate with players despite the surprise success and the associated problems, as well as an emergency meeting. However, one point is repeatedly mentioned in the comments:

“Yes, the Pal AI really needs some improvements,” writes a player on Reddit. Often the AI gets stuck on structures or takes strange paths to complete tasks. There are also opportunities for improvement in transporting items. Player LuminousShot writes: “The transport of items needs an AI improvement. I tested it, and if only single items are on the ground, e.g., a stack of size 1, the Pals only carry one item, regardless of their transport level. This is really bad for ranches and mining outposts.”

Many users in the comments view the priority of the roadmap very positively. MortalJohn says: “Solid communication. Covers everything I personally want from them, in the right order. Honestly, a home run.”

But there are also users who criticize that the term “roadmap” was used rather generously for the few contents shown.

What do you think? Do you like the outlook on the roadmap or have the developers not mentioned something very important?

7 vs. Wild: Joey Kelly first complains about treacherous partner, then shows his best form – “He makes Fritz look old”

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 3 minutes

The new bonus episode of 7 vs. Wild shows how well Joey Kelly fared alone in Canada. Fans particularly enjoy the episode because Joey Kelly truly shows what he is capable of.

This article contains spoilers for 7 vs. Wild Season 3 Episodes 1-14.

Why is he complaining? On January 24, 2024, the final episode of 7 vs. Wild was released on YouTube. A bonus episode in which Joey Kelly managed to survive alone in the wilderness for 7 days without his partner. Joey Kelly’s team partner Jan Schlappen quit the project on Day 7 and returned to civilization. Against production’s instructions, Joey Kelly chose to remain stranded alone in Canada.

Primarily, Joey Kelly appears disappointed by Schlappen’s departure from the project. Even though the two probably didn’t have the best chemistry, as they revealed after the project ended, Joey Kelly had firmly hoped Jan Schlappen would continue.

He states himself that he is hungry and would love to eat a pizza, burger, or fries, but he can wait until after the 14 days. Joey Kelly appears emotional at this point:

“Because I didn’t come to Canada to give up! Prepared for months. Whatever. I can’t change it. 

[…] it’s not enjoyable to torture myself, I’m hungry too! I’m freezing, but Jan my friend, you knew what was coming for you. We went out as a team, out! 

I’ll keep going, even if I’m out of the team ranking. You have to fight in life, friends. This can’t be right.”

Joey Kelly in his bonus episode

One of the participants of Season 3 is the Twitch streamer Jens “Knossi” Knossalla. You can see more about him in our video:

Start video

After the emotions, Kelly shows what he can really do

Where can Joey Kelly shine? Joey Kelly achieves something that likely no one else managed to do in that extent during the 14 days. With a self-made fishing rod, he caught a truly large fish from the open sea. While the other teams only caught very small fish at the cliffs, Kelly really scored here. He prepared the fish as stockfish and asserted how delicious it would taste.

However, that was not the only thing the 51-year-old ate without his team partner. The survival expert prepared a berry smoothie with the native Salal berries, which are said to look and taste similar to blueberries. 

Additionally, Joey Kelly found clams, which he cut from a rock. He prepared them in a found can but was unsure whether they were edible because they smelled strange. He decided not to eat them for now. What could be eaten in 7 vs. Wild was revealed last by the indigenous people.

How was the isolation for him? The isolation was not easy for Joey Kelly either. He said that he thought a lot and occasionally had strange dreams. He also built a bench for his family in case his siblings would visit, at that moment Joey Kelly also seemed slightly dazed and spoke of his family coming around the corner with the houseboat. 

If you want to get an impression of Joey Kelly’s adventure, you can watch the bonus episode here. At about 1:03:00, you will find the scene with the bench.

The community loves the bonus episode

What does the community like so much? The community finds the bonus episode more than successful. Not only Joey Kelly’s skills, but also the way he presents himself in the video appeals to fans. On YouTube  viewers write:

  • Kurzb3: “Wow, he really makes Fritz look old. My utmost respect.”
  • Anja-ec7gl: “Fish caught in open sea without a net, but with a fishing rod? Respect!”
  • derbirra8370: “The episode was more exciting than the entire season combined. By a long shot!”
  • maphidoka3071: “In my opinion, Joey not only managed to last the 14 days, 7 of them even alone, but also made the viewer feel like a part of the series. Outstanding footage, filmed from multiple perspectives, great explanations, and especially creatively worked on. An absolutely worthy and magnificent conclusion to this season. Thank you!”
