The new evil endings in Baldur’s Gate 3 finally allow me to live out my dream romance, for which I only have to suppress a continent

Leya Jankowski Leya Jankowski Reading time 3 minutes

MeinMMO’s editor-in-chief Leya has long been denied her dream romance in Baldur’s Gate 3. With the evil endings that came with Patch 7, that is finally changing.

At the beginning of September, Larian released the gigantic Patch 7 for Baldur’s Gate 3. It introduced an official mod system to the RPG and new evil endings, allowing you to finally give a worthy conclusion to a villainous playthrough.

Recently, I watched all these evil endings in a row on YouTube. The user Northalix posted a compilation that lasts about an hour and goes through every option that can occur in a villainous storyline.

I threw the video on my television, got comfortable, but jumped up in excitement when I finally saw my perfect ending!

“Happy Ending” with the Emperor and the Oppression of Faerûn

In February, I wrote about how disappointing the romance with the Emperor is. I was particularly upset that the relationship could progress to the point where we could sleep with the Mind Flayer, but the intimacy would then become null and void.

There were no consequences for strongly siding with the Emperor, even though my companions distrust or even despise him. It all felt more like a joke, that one can sleep with the tentacle man and immediately earn the achievement “Mind Blown”.

With one of the new evil endings, however, you can rule alongside the Emperor! And not just over the city of Baldur’s Gate, but over all of Faerûn. The established relationship finally leads to something.

If you choose an evil path, it is possible to become the Absolute. Without going into too much detail, this quickly allows for ruling and controlling Baldur’s Gate. You consciously decide to enslave, oppress, or exterminate the population.

von Johanna

One of the new evil endings leads you to place the Emperor on the throne of the Absolute and thus grant him rulership and power. This is followed by another option where you can choose to rule alongside the Emperor as his right hand. It would not have suited the Emperor to play second fiddle with his huge ego.

And that’s all I ever wanted for my perfect romantic ending with the Emperor!

Well, for this you take the purchase that you bring a reign of terror over Faerûn. You oppress everything and everyone and murder to make your position clear.

What’s behind the Emperor: In the first two acts of the game, we only encounter the Emperor as a dream warden who protects us. In the third act, we learn that this dream warden is a Mind Flayer who wishes to ally with us. Through him, we and our companions are protected from the influence of the Absolute, who wants to control us.

We learn that the Mind Flayer is the founder of Baldur’s Gate and was later captured and transformed into an Illithid. However, he managed to break free from the corresponding mind control of the Elder Brain and returned to Baldur’s Gate. There, he ruled from the shadows, manipulated the city’s politics, and later fell under the control of the Elder Brain again before the events of the game.

Why do I find the Emperor so incredibly appealing?

He has these beautiful pink eyes and a deep, bass-heavy voice that makes you weak in the knees. A few tentacles and rice teeth in the face don’t disturb that at all.

Character-wise, he stands out to me with each playthrough. The romances didn’t interest me at all, but rather the backgrounds of our companions and how to tell their stories.

Baldur's Gate emperor
Look into those pink eyes. Who can resist?

However, the romance with the Emperor surprisingly grabbed me because it has a completely different dynamic than the rest. He manipulates with every word to achieve his goals. He is not the “classic romance” and it remains confusing throughout how the Emperor truly feels about you.

Until the end, it isn’t clear whether this is actually a romance between us or simply an alliance of two power-hungry crazies.

I was definitely excited when I saw the new ending where I get to rule Faerûn alongside the Mind Flayer. Where else can you do something like this?

Now the romance no longer feels like a joke to me. How good that I am currently in the midst of a villainous playthrough where I play as a bard and Dark Urge – a combo I can only highly recommend. Generally, Dark Urge can lead to an interesting story:

Player plays 30 minutes of Baldur’s Gate 3, but then everyone is gone or dead – He just wanted to test a character

I guess I will once again fully side with the Emperor and do everything I can to become his right hand.

Then I will finally have achieved my perfect ending in the game and in love.

Throne and Liberty makes players crave another MMORPG that costs money but is less Pay2Win

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

The new MMORPG Throne and Liberty is almost magically attracting players from various other MMORPGs. However, players from New World can hardly wait to return to their game.

Which game is it about? On October 15, New World: Aeternum, the major expansion for the MMORPG from Amazon Games, will be released. The expansion promises players a overhaul of the MMORPG and new content such as the first 10-player raid.

Until the new expansion of New World is released, some players will likely use the time to check out the new Throne and Liberty. However, many are not pleased with what they see.

Here you can watch the trailer for the new expansion New World: Aeternum:

Better back to New World

What bothers the players? On Reddit, players of New World are discussing their experiences with the new MMORPG from the same publisher. The thread creator Yahuahh writes on Reddit: “I had a lot of fun in Throne and Liberty until level 50, until I saw that the endgame is way too pay-to-win for my taste.”

Other players also complain about the speed of the game under the post. The user spunX44 writes on Reddit: “I planned to play TnL until the launch of New World. But after playing maybe 6-7 hours, I’m already done with it. It’s just not my pace.”

Is it better in New World? The pay-to-win aspect is widely discussed under the post. In Throne and Liberty, endgame items and their upgrades in the form of qualities can be purchased for real money. This allows players with a thick wallet to gain advantages over others.

Even though the currency of Throne and Liberty can also be earned in the game, it looks more pleasant in New World. The game itself does not offer such an option, but players note that there is also pay-to-win in the game through bots and third-party sites.

Directly, New World sells a battle pass that in the past included gold as well. Although not a significant amount, it is an advantage that cannot be gained without spending money.

However, unlike Throne and Liberty, New World is not free. Those who want to play the game must spend at least €28.99. To start the new expansion on October 15, the equally expensive DLC “Rise of the Angry Earth” is also required.

What are the players looking forward to in New World? For those who see Throne and Liberty only as a stopgap until New World launches, there will be many new features starting October 15. Among them is the raid “The Den of the Gorgons” where for the first time 10 players can participate simultaneously.

There will also be an open PvP area with the “Cursed Fog.” In it, you can fight against everything and everyone just like in Throne and Liberty. Teams are, however, prohibited.

Diablo 4 All good things: This is how you solve the quest’s puzzle

Nicole Wakulczyk Nicole Wakulczyk Reading time 2 minutes

With Vessel of Hatred, the campaign of Diablo 4 continues. The new quest series “All Good Things” includes a small puzzle involving four fire bowls. How to solve it can be found here on MeinMMO.

On October 8, 2024, the first expansion for Diablo 4, Vessel of Hatred, launched, bringing new content to the game:

Small spoiler warning: This article is about a quest in the main story of Vessel of Hatred, the first expansion for Diablo 4. The quest in question is at the end of the campaign, but we won’t reveal any content-related details about the story.

What kind of quest is this? “All Good Things” is a main quest in the campaign of Vessel of Hatred. The goal is to ensure that all four fire bowls are lit.

In Akarat’s tomb, you will eventually enter a room where you encounter four fire bowls. Your task now is to light them all. It sounds simple at first, but there is a small puzzle behind it, because: As soon as you interact with the fire bowls, some will light up, while others go out again.

von Nicole Wakulczyk

All Good Things: Quest Solution

This is how you solve the quest: To keep all four fire bowls burning, you should follow a specific order:

  • First, light the fire bowl in the bottom left. This will cause three fire bowls to burn. Kill the spirits that attack you so you can continue in peace.
  • Next, light the top fire bowl at the locked door that is not burning yet. Now the bowl and the opposite bowl that you lit first are burning.
  • Then, light the left fire bowl. Now only one bowl is burning. Deal with the spirits that will spawn next.
  • Finally, light the right fire bowl – and thus all three that are currently not burning.

Now all four fire bowls are burning. Kill the spirits that attack you and you can make your way to your new objective: the burial chamber.

Our video explains to you in just 30 seconds how the quest works. At the end, you will see the exact order of the fire bowls in an image:

In total, there are 30 teachings to discover, but you will also need to solve small puzzles here. If you find all the teachings, two player titles and a mount await as a reward.

Update, October 10, 2024: The article has been reviewed and is up to date.

One of the best game series is currently on sale on Steam and is as versatile as Mario

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

Mario has been a character in a variety of games and genres over the years. In the SteamWorld Games on Steam, this is also the case, but here small robots keep appearing.

What kind of game series is this? Everyone knows the character Mario, but when it comes to which game is associated with him, opinions vary. He became famous through jump ‘n’ runs like Super Mario, but you can also find him in Mario Kart or in the Mario role-playing games.

It is similar for the little robots of the SteamWorld series. Whether in a Metroidvania like SteamWorld Dig, a strategy game like SteamWorld Heist, or a city-building game like SteamWorld Build. The robots have their own universe and are received by players as well as Mario himself.

Here you can watch the trailer for SteamWorld Build:

SteamWorld Build Announcement Trailer

Strong Offer for Strong Games

What offer is currently running? On Steam, you can currently get six popular titles from the SteamWorld universe for only 31 €. Compared to the individual prices of the games, this currently saves you over 90 €. For your money, you will get the following games:

  • SteamWorld Heist – A 2D strategy game like XCOM, but you have to aim yourself and your bullets bounce off the walls.
  • SteamWorld Heist II – The sequel to the 2D strategy game with many new featuresthat enhance the game.
  • SteamWorld Dig – A 2D Metroidvania where you dig tunnels and find treasures.
  • SteamWorld Dig 2 – The significantly improved sequel, which offers more puzzles, secrets, and variety.
  • SteamWorld Build – One of the newer games in the universe, where you build a robot city and also have to manage resources.
  • SteamWorld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech – A 2D RPG where your goal is to create a good deck of cards to eliminate all enemies.

The games themselves are also individually on sale, as are their DLCs. However, by bundling the games, you save even more, so you should consider what is more worthwhile for you.

How are the games received? The SteamWorld games are all rated very positively by players. While almost all games have over 95% positive ratings, only SteamWorld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech with 87% and SteamWorld Build with 79% positive ratings stand out slightly.

However, for the latter, there was a free update in August that has increased the recent ratings to 85% positive. One game is missing from the package, the first SteamWorld game, SteamWorld Tower Defense, which was released exclusively for the Nintendo DSi back then.

Even though the city-builder SteamWorld Build is not as well received by players as the other games in the universe, it might be worth taking a look at the Anno connection: New game on Steam connects Anno with an absolute classic from 1997 – Coming in 2023

A community feels targeted by new rules from Twitch

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

From the perspective of VTubers, Twitch has a problem with them. Now the streaming platform has decided on new guidelines regarding how the virtual avatars should be. VTubers feel restricted by this.

What are VTubers upset about? Twitch has set new rules starting October 7. They call it “Enforcement Notes” and say these are “clarifications” on how the rules are to be interpreted concerning new trends.

Two of these “clarifications” explicitly refer to VTubers. This can be interpreted as a reaction to the fact that the VTuber IronMouse has become the most successful streamer on Twitch, based on paying subscribers.

Twitch explicitly prohibits VTubers from using “childlike characters” that utilize any form of sexual framing known as Loli characters.

Twitch explicitly emphasizes: VTubers must adhere to the same clothing regulations as other Twitch streamers:

  • For example, genitals, the buttocks, hips, and for women, also the nipples must be covered – and that at all times.
  • These rules apply to VTuber models, but not to video game characters.
  • Twitch particularly stresses that the hips must be covered. VTubers should not forget this.
Start video
3 German Twitch streamers you should know

VTuber says: These rules cost them time and money

What is the problem? As VTuber Leahkitties explains, the issue is that VTubers commission expensive models or outfits for a lot of money and they may not be able to use them if Twitch simply changes the rules.

The standard models are probably not affected by the changes, but special customizations will be. It costs money and time when one constantly has to follow the new rules on Twitch.

Another person responded

Is Twitch trying to get rid of us and make us switch to YouTube? Because if that’s their plan, they’re doing a really good job.

Another person with an anime image as an avatar says: “The rules also apply to real streamers, I can’t stop laughing! I didn’t know Twitch was this funny. Twitch absolutely hates VTubers and proves it again.”

The statement about Twitch streamers is clearly a reference to the fact that many “real female streamers” interpret the clothing rules on Twitch loosely and get away with it, while VTubers feel specifically restricted and discriminated against.

The decisive phase of the LoL World Championship starts in Berlin, European teams draw tough lots

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

On Thursday, October 10th, the World Championships in League of Legends continue. It could be really tough hours for the teams from Europe and the USA. The draw has produced some blockbuster matches: G2 will face T1 with Faker on Friday. On Saturday, Fnatic will play for everything or nothing against a very strong opponent.

What is happening at the Worlds?

  • The decision matches are now starting at the Worlds. The last 2 days of the main phase have begun. In the coming days, it will be decided which teams will go home and which will stay in the tournament. The individual matches are over. Now there are only “Best of Three” series.
  • The best team in the West, G2, drew the tough match-up: They will face T1 and Faker, the reigning world champion. Whoever wins the game is guaranteed to advance. Whoever loses is already one step from being eliminated.
  • FlyQuest still has two chances to advance, but Fnatic and Team Liquid are already against the wall.

The Life of Faker – Why He is a Living Legend

G2 vs. T1 is likely to set a viewership record on German Twitch

This is the most important match: On Friday, October 11th, at 2 PM, G2 and T1 will play against each other in a Best-of-Three series. Both teams are at 2:1 and need one more win to advance.

Whoever loses the game will have to play in a “win or go home” match on Sunday. If things go really poorly, a killer match-up like Bilibili Gaming, the Chinese champions, could be waiting here.

The match between the two crowd favorites will definitely be a highlight – Faker against Caps in the mid lane or BrokenBlade against Zeus on the top lane. It won’t get much better than this.

This will surely set a viewership record for the German caster Tolkin, who is already having a heart attack as he is an ultra-fan of both teams.

How does it look for the USA? Already on Thursday at 5 PM, FlyQuest will play against the champion from South Korea, Hanwha Life. This will likely result in a bloodbath. Anything other than a clear victory for the South Koreans would be a surprise.

Both G2 and Fnatic have pretty much drawn the worst possible match-ups, but also the ones with the most glory to win.

Team Liquid had better luck, they play at 5 PM on Saturday against GAM Esports, a very nice team, but probably the weakest opponent available.

Fortnite: Halloween event brings 2 of the nastiest movie villains of all time into the game

Ody Ody Reading time 2 minutes

In October 2024, two really nasty movie villains will join the players of Fortnite. They will come as part of Fortnitemares, the Halloween event, and have already been presented by the developers in a short teaser.

Who are the new villains? For Fortnitemares 2024, developer Epic Games has secured two iconic figures from horror films: Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Billy – Jigsaw’s puppet from the Saw movies.

You can get a first look at the new characters in a short teaser. In it, the villains practice carving pumpkin faces together with other characters from Fortnite.

You can watch the teaser here:

Start video
Fortnite: The Official Teaser for Fortnitemares 2024

What does the teaser show? There are at least five new skins that will be available as part of the event. Three of them are licensed characters: Alongside Leatherface and Billy, Mephisto, a villain from Marvel Comics, will also be featured.

The X user Hypex had leaked Mephisto’s presence a few days before the official announcement, however, as an NPC.

Players love the new skins

How is the teaser received? The community seems to be very convinced by the new skins so far. In the comment sections on YouTube and under a post by the developers on X, fans are particularly excited about the new witch outfit for Lexa.

Other players are looking forward to causing mischief with the new skins. For example, pony_sona commented on YouTube:

  • “This will be the best Fortnitemares ever. I can’t wait to make Leatherface do all the girliest emotes” 

Some players are surprised that Leatherface and Billy, the puppet, made it into the game at all. While there has already been an iconic slasher villain in Fortnite with Michael Myers, his movies are relatively tame by comparison.

When does the event start? The Fortnitemares 2024 will start on Friday, October 11. Epic Games has not yet announced a specific time.

Will a large part of the player base even recognize names like Leatherface and Jigsaw? After all, the best films from both franchises are quite old, and even the biggest Twitch streamer of Fortnite had to hear that he is already too old for the game at 20.

Throne and Liberty: Demon Exam – How to Successfully Master All Tests

Nathalie Schnee Nathalie Schnee Reading time 4 minutes

In Throne and Liberty has the “Trial of the Demon” taking place in the Mana Wastes. You need to solve three puzzles for this, and we will help you with it.

How does the “Trial of the Demon” work? The “Trial of the Demon” is a tricky puzzle. To finally earn the reward, you need to pass three tests. You start the quest by climbing the mountain, which will be marked for you with a blue star. There you will find a stone pedestal with a paper on it. That is “Junobote’s Experiment Protocol“. After interacting with it, the quest begins.

In the first trial, you must correctly rotate three different statues so that the shadow casts a winged unicorn. In the second, you should replicate a melody by using the crystals in the correct order. The last puzzle revolves around crystals and giants, where the giants’ platforms must be brought to the same height. We will reveal exactly how to do it.

[toc]

Where you get salt and bait from should no longer be a mystery for you:

Start video
Throne and Liberty: So bekommt ihr Köder und Salz

Rotating Statues

After you have been teleported to the location, Junobote’s spirit has a puzzle for you:

  • “The beast runs on four legs“
  • “The beast dreams of the sky“
  • “Power grows on the head of the beast“
  • “The darkness opposite the light shall fulfill desire“

Before you are three statues you need to turn so that the shadows of the figures together form a unicorn. The solution is:

  • Interact with the sword statue three times
  • Interact with the eagle statue twice
  • Interact with the horse statue three times
The shadows of the statues must form a unicorn
The shadows of the statues must form a unicorn

Then a magical teleportation circle appears, taking you to the next task.

Crystal Melodies

After you have been teleported to the location, Junobote’s spirit has a puzzle for you:

  • “Sound creates resonance“
  • “The combination of sounds creates new knowledge“
  • “Here I leave my knowledge behind, refresh yourself with it“

You are looking at seven colored crystals and an angel statue. If you interact with it, the melody will be played briefly, and symbols will light up. However, this can only be done once. Next to it, as a hint, there is a paper showing the symbols of the melody in the correct order. This way you can find out the melody, as the respective glyphs will light up as you interact with the crystals.

For everyone who finds this too fast and does not want to experiment, we have the solution. You must tune the crystals in the following order:

  • Orange
  • Dark blue
  • Black blue
  • Light blue
  • Yellow
  • Red
  • Yellow
  • Orange
The order of the crystals: 2,5,6,4,3,1,3,2
The order of the crystals: 2,5,6,4,3,1,3,2
The symbols of the melody
The symbols of the melody

Then a magical teleportation circle appears, taking you to the next task.

von Cedric Holmeier

The Giants

After you have been teleported to the location, Junobote’s spirit has a puzzle for you:

  • “The giant sits“
  • “The giant stands“
  • “When the will of all is united, the path opens“

You see crystals again, this time five in number. Behind them, five giants are carrying large rock platforms. You need to adjust the height of the platforms so that they are at the same height.

However, when you interact with one crystal, several giants move at the same time. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the correct order. We have for you the correct order in which you need to interact with the crystals (from left to right, facing the giants):

  • 2, 4, 3, 3, 5, 5
The platforms of the giants must be brought to the same height
The platforms of the giants must be brought to the same height

Then you will be teleported onto the platforms through the teleportation circle and must pick up a paper with “Junobote’s Notes“ at the end of the path. After that, you will receive the following rewards:

  • 300 Stellarit
  • 6 Rare Magic Powder
  • 5 Rare Polished Crystals
  • The Transformation Stone of the Knight Kamarshea
  • Title: Powerful Brain
  • Sollant

The puzzles in Throne and Liberty can be quite overwhelming. If you need further help with Throne and Liberty, check out our extensive guide overview. There you will find all the useful information you need: Throne and Liberty: All guides for starting in the new MMORPG.

Mark Zuckerberg has spent a thousand hours in a strategy game on Steam – Will prove on Twitch that he is the best

Gerald Wessel Gerald Wessel Reading time 2 minutes

Facebook founder and CEO of Meta Mark Zuckerberg has had a passion since his youth: video games. There is one in particular that has captivated him.

What is Mark Zuckerberg so enthusiastic about? Civilization 6, his Steam account shows according to a TikTok video from the Pubity channel, more than 1,000 hours of gameplay for this title. Overall, the entire series has been one of his favorite games since his youth, as the billionaire recounts.

He associates the older installments with some special memories that were formative for his life. Furthermore, he expresses tremendous confidence in his abilities and makes at least an implicit announcement.

Mark Zuckerberg on Twitch with Civ 7?

What does Zuckerberg have planned? Possibly with the upcoming release of the eagerly awaited next installment in the Civilization series, a new era of his Civ career is about to begin for Mark Zuckerberg. It seems he is considering creating a Twitch channel to stream play alongside – or rather against – someone:

I want to be the best Civilization player in the world. I’m pretty sure I’m close to grandmaster status and would be surprised if anyone could beat me.

Mark Zuckerberg once recounted how Dexerto describes in a detailed report about Civ, the moment he found out that he could study at Harvard. The crucial detail that impressed him, aside from the life-changing news, was that he had played the current Civilization installment at the time. The series had already inspired him during his school years to become an engineer.

For one of the core features of the strategy series has been and will also be in the upcoming installment, Civilization 7: progress and social change through technology. A concept that Zuckerberg has turned into his vocation through his engagement with Facebook and Meta.

Dragon Ball Sparking Zero: Those who rely on the official ranking of the 180 fighters are falling into a trap

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 2 minutes

Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero has an enormous repertoire of fighters. With over 180 known characters, you can brawl offline or online. The fighters are even divided into points indicating their strength – however, some divisions make no sense if you are familiar with the universe.

What kind of game is Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero?

  • 3D fighting game
  • over 180 playable characters
  • Set in the Dragon Ball universe
  • Includes characters from movies and all series

With over 180 characters, the game naturally doesn’t aim to balance everything perfectly. Yamcha is simply weaker than Son Goku. To classify strength, each character is ranked in points. However, these rankings sometimes make no sense, at least in the Dragon Ball universe.

If you are interested in who the 10 strongest characters in the game are, check out this list: The 10 best characters in Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero

You can check out the GT characters in this trailer:

Start video
Trailer shows GT characters in DB Sparking Zero

Some are stronger than they should be

What’s the problem? The characters in Sparking! Zero are divided into points. They range from 1 to 10. For example, 1 is Mister Satan and 10 is someone like Beerus. Within the gameplay, the classification is quite accurate. A 7 is stronger than a 4. However, some ratings make no sense within the lore of the series and movies.

For example, Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks is an 8. This is the version from the Buu saga. This places him on par with powerful characters like Toppo (God of Destruction), Jiren, or the blue god forms of Goku and Vegeta. Considering the difference between Dragon Ball Super and Z, this cannot be.

It gets even more bizarre when looking at the 5-point characters. There, powerful characters like Goku Black, Baby Vegeta, or Zamasu are rated on the same level as characters like Frieza (first form) or Cell (first form).

While they may be similar in gameplay values, if someone is not familiar with the new Dragon Ball series, they could be misled by this ranking. The classification of the GT characters could also lead to heated debates in the community.

Where does the difficulty lie with such rankings? Dragon Ball is a series that has already had several series and films. Ranking them is difficult if not all fighters have fought against each other before.

Additionally, the old films and GT are hard to categorize as they are not canon in the current series. Not to mention the differences between anime and manga, which are not always insignificant in Dragon Ball Super. Thus, a character who is actually weak in the manga could still show their strength: Dragon Ball: Goku’s Master is much stronger than you think – Even fights against one of the most powerful opponents

Throne and Liberty: Out of Sight – How to Defeat One of the Toughest Bosses in Taedal’s Tower

Nathalie Schnee Nathalie Schnee Reading time 3 minutes

The dungeon boss “Out of Sight” from Throne and Liberty (in English: Old Wizard Eye) awaits you on the 14th floor of Taedal’s Tower, and we will reveal how you can defeat him.

Where can you find “Out of Sight” and what can he do? This level 50 boss is a single-dungeon boss from Taedal’s Tower. You will find him on the “14th floor“. This monster is a bit challenging to defeat. He has four different attacks that you need to learn about. However, right from the start, you should shoot everything you can at him, as he takes a while to wake up. And then the real battle begins.

It is especially advantageous if you use a staff or daggers as weapons because both of these combat tools have abilities that allow you to quickly teleport out of a danger zone—this is not just very useful against this boss, but it also makes the fight significantly easier. However, even without this advantage, you can defeat him with some effort and sweat, and we will tell you how.

[toc]

In Throne and Liberty, there are not only solo dungeons but also guild dungeons:

Start video
Throne and Liberty: Deshalb ist eine große und aktive Gilde so wichtig

Fire Shockwave

When the boss “Out of Sight” pulls in his tentacles and a purple circle appears on him, you need to prepare for the fire shockwave. You can parry this by executing your block attack at the right moment. This way, the shockwave cannot harm you. Otherwise, this attack can cause a lot of damage.

To block correctly, you need to time it when the large purple circle gets smaller and touches the inner purple circle. If you achieve a perfect block, you can even attack with an extra ability on the same button afterward.

Burn Marks

If the boss shrinks and forms red lightning around himself, the burn marks attack follows. He will place three fire circles under your character on the ground. It’s best to sprint in a circle around him to avoid this. You should be able to escape this attack without much trouble.

Triple Fire Wave

Another attack from the eye is the triple fire ground wave. Do not try to block this attack. Instead, jump over the ground waves. First, he lifts a bit and sucks in the fire. When he is still in the air, just before the boss stomps down again to unleash the fire wave, you need to jump. And then do that three times in a row.

Fire Cone

The fire cone attack is the deadliest of all. The eye shoots a cone-shaped fire attack in its target direction, and if you do not evade it correctly, you are as good as done for. Here, the abilities of the staff and dagger come into play because you do not have much time to escape from this attack.

Teleported behind the boss with an ability is thus the easiest method to get away unharmed. This works even if the boss briefly stuns you due to a failed parry beforehand.

However, you can also try to stay relatively close to the boss so you can sprint through him to the other side. The fire cone is the most challenging attack of the eye; if you master this, you should be able to conquer the fourteenth floor in no time.

What is the reward for defeating this boss? For defeating the level 50 boss “Out of Sight” from Taedal’s Tower on the “14th floor“, you will of course receive some rewards. These include 49,148 Sollant and 42,052 experience points. On top of that, you get ten strong health potions and seven epic “growth stones“ to upgrade your equipment.

shroud was supposed to showcase his new shooter on Twitch, but he prefers to play an MMORPG on Steam

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

Michael “shroud” Grzesiek is a well-known streamer on Twitch and an authority in the field of “shooter” games. He was actually expected to promote and constantly showcase the new shooter “Spectre Divide” on Twitch, where he acts as the frontman for the game. But shroud fell in love with Valve’s new MOBA hybrid, Deadlock, and now his true passion is beckoning: MMORPGs. He has become enamored with Throne and Liberty (Steam).

This was the expectation of shroud:

  • The new shooter “Spectre Divide” was supposed to be shroud’s new game. He praised Spectre Divide to the highest degree. He even went so far as to call Spectre Divide “his game”, as if it belonged to him: His video “Our New Game is finally out” has 198,000 views on YouTube.
  • However, shroud is only the frontman of the game and advises the developers on design decisions.
  • As the CEO of the company states, shroud is best able to help the company by discussing with them how Spectre Divide can be best for players and streamers.
Start video

shroud promotes his game on Twitch, then abandons it for hotter games

This is the problem: Even though it sounds completely different from what the CEO said in an interview with IGN: It was actually already thought that shroud would serve as a major draw for Spectre Divide on Twitch, and in the beginning, that worked:

shroud played 88 hours in the game and had nearly 50,000 viewers at its peak.

But that didn’t last long. During the release phase of Spectre Divide, shroud fell in love with Valve’s MOBA-shooter hybrid Deadlock and began spending more and more time there:

  • Starting from August 16, 2024, he almost completely switched to Deadlock and almost completely ignored “his shooter”.
  • Since September 24, 2024, however, it has also become the end for Deadlock, and shroud has succumbed to his true passion: MMORPGs. Because even though shroud is such a shooter crack, deep down, he is a real MMORPG enthusiast, as has been known for a long time.

Instead of showcasing his shooter, shroud is currently doing this:

shroud dominates 3 games on Twitch

In the last 90 days, he has:

  • Spent 171 hours in Deadlock
  • Spent 101 hours in Throne and Liberty
  • And only 88 in Spectre Divide.

shroud is actually the world’s largest streamer for Throne and Liberty and for Spectre Divide in the last 90 days. He is only in second place for Deadlock, with the Russian Recrent just ahead of him, albeit by a narrow margin.

And how is “his shooter?” Spectre Divide is not doing well at all:

  • Without shroud, viewer hours on Twitch have dropped by 80%.
  • On Steam, player counts have fallen from an average of 8,400 in September to 5,500 in October.
  • And the company has already had to lay off 13 employees.

Although the company’s CEO claims that this is not a problem, that the game is not dead, and that they have the resources to continue its development. Season 1 is even supposed to start in December 2024 or January 2025 to revitalize the game. Additionally, they plan to work on the performance, but it doesn’t seem to be going super well.

The problem is that shroud is already being asked why he doesn’t play his own game, and at the moment, he is lacking arguments for that. If he doesn’t even play it, why should his fans do so? Viewer asks shroud why he prefers to showcase the new shooter on Steam instead of his own game on Twitch – Bad mistake

WoW: Priest defeats Zekvir in Hardmode with item level 569 – makes the entire community look old

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The toughest battle in World of Warcraft requires good equipment – only a priest proves that this is nonsense.

If you want a real challenge in World of Warcraft right now, you face the Depths boss. Zekvir on the “??” difficulty offers a reward and an exclusive mount design, but is quite tough for most classes. To defeat him, you need good equipment, a decent amount of skill, patience, and quick reflexes.

But the whole equipment thing might just be a myth. Because one priest now shows how you can defeat Zekvir even with really shabby equipment – at item level 569.

Start video
WoW: The War Within – Forces Within

What happened? In the WoW subreddit, Hurry_Willing posts that he succeeded in defeating Zekvir on the “??” difficulty – and that with an item level of only 569. A large part of the community couldn’t believe it, especially because questions arose like: “Hey, I have the super cool skin for the mount – but where do I actually get the basic version of the mount?”

This seemed like a troll attempt to many.

But now this shadow priest has debunked all lies and shown: Yes, Zekvir can be defeated at item level 569. Even though the fight took a solid 18 minutes.

How did the priest do it? Basically, Hurry_Willing played the fight almost flawlessly. All mechanics were handled correctly, so Zekvir almost never got a hit with his instant kills and could not restore any health.

It is curious that the shadow priest was able to kill the “nets” before they could hatch. Because these nets actually have 20 million health points. However, they seem to scale with the equipment, so Hurry_Willing only had to deal just under 8 million health points of damage. That’s still quite a lot – especially for the equipment – but it was mostly enough.

Combined with some priest tricks, such as using Fear on Brann to prevent him from leaving the room or using Mind Control on one of the adds, the kill succeeds after more than a quarter of an hour.

This is how the community reacts: Under the post with the proof video, many are extremely impressed by the performance and note that many players would not succeed even at item level 620. Some of the comments in the WoW subreddit:

  • “This is going to make a lot of people who play their class very poorly very sad.” – Kersplode
  • “This is the WoW equivalent of a Dark Souls run in season 1 or so. Good job, dude.” – Facefoxa

Zekvir is essentially a fight that is only partially determined by your equipment. It is much more important to understand the mechanics and play perfectly. Small mistakes are usually punished with death immediately. To go through this entire fight for a solid 18 minutes without major mistakes and to use the entire toolkit of the class is quite impressive. Perhaps this is also encouragement for you to practice a little more against Zekvir. We have tips and tricks for the fight against Zekvir here.

Destiny 2: The new episode has started – It brings a fresh dungeon and one of the best weapons from Destiny 1

Ody Ody Reading time 2 minutes

The new episode of Destiny 2 is titled “Returner” and was released on October 8, 2024. Players can expect a fresh dungeon and one of the best weapons from the predecessor.

What is the new episode about? In “Returner,” you will experience the return of Fokrul the Fanatic. This time he has an army of undead in tow, the “Scorn.” Fans already know this faction from the DLC “Forsaken”.

The launch trailer reveals that a new, powerful Scorn species has emerged and is hunting Eliksni throughout the system. In “Returner,” you will confront this new threat as the Butcher Baron.

You can watch the launch trailer for Destiny 2: Returner here:

What new content is being added? There are three new maps for the onslaught mode, where you can now fight against new opponents and use new traps. Additionally, on October 11, the first dungeon will be available with Vesper’s Host, which will feature a Contest Mode.

The Icebreaker is returning, one of the best weapons from Destiny 1. It is a sniper rifle that can regenerate ammunition. This ability and its high damage made the weapon a favorite in the original.

The Titan class has been revamped by the developers and now fulfills the classic role of a tank. Titans can now attract the attention of enemies by deploying a barricade and positioning themselves behind it.

A new gameplay mechanic allows you to increase your luck at looting and your combat power. You can now brew potions that ensure certain weapon types are dropped more frequently as loot.

Diablo 4: The quest to The Keening Spirit is wasting a lot of players’ time, but you should ignore it for now.

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

In Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred, there are various quests and side missions that you can complete. One of these side quests is called The Keening Spirit. Many players wander through Nahantu to finish it, but unfortunately, this is not currently possible.

What kind of quest is this? You receive the quest for The Keening Spirit at the Bazaar of Kurast in the southern part of the area. There, you see a woman writhing on the ground. The quest giver is the NPC Nunir.

You ask him what has happened to the woman, and he reports that she has been murmuring something about a summoning ritual. Nunir believes that the summoning has failed. He cannot do anything about the woman’s spiritual pain.

Your task now is to find out more about it. You need to reach a marked area in Nahantu and find the “tormented spirit Bashe” there. A simple quest, yet this is currently driving many demon slayers mad.

Quest is bugged – Leaves players desperately exploring areas

What is the problem with the quest? The quest is apparently bugged. There are players who have scoured the small, blue-marked area for several minutes to hours to find the spirit, but it does not appear. Nothing happened for us in the area either.

Fans had hoped that the recent hotfix would resolve the quest issue, but players on Reddit report negative reassurances – the quest is still bugged.

So ignore the quest for now and focus on other things until Blizzard addresses this problem. Currently, we have no information on whether the developers have acknowledged this bug.

How do I abandon quests? If you want to remove the quest from your quest log for now, click on it with the right mouse button on PC and abandon it. Don’t worry, you can take abandoned quests again later.

Will it take long for the quest to be fixed? We cannot say that yet. The last hotfix mainly focused on preventing crashes occurring on PC and Steam.

However, since Blizzard pursues a quick update strategy concerning such issues, you can expect a timely fix.

Twitch streamer LetsHugo suffers in the wilderness during 7 vs. Wild and realizes what his problem is

Johanna Johanna Reading time 2 minutes

The Twitch streamer Hugo “LetsHugo” is participating in the fourth season of 7 vs. Wild. While the others often see the cold as a potential reason to quit, he finds something else much worse.

Attention: This article contains spoilers for the third episode of the fourth season of 7 vs. Wild.

What is Hugo’s problem? Hugo can name his problem after just a few hours in the wilderness of New Zealand, and that is boredom. In a conversation with Joe Vogel (3rd episode of the 4th season on Freevee) he says: “I would have liked to have a phone or something.”

Hugo also continues to discuss the topic with fitness influencer FlyingUwe. For him, it is quite conceivable that he would quit the project after a week because he cannot stand the boredom.

Moreover, he does not understand how the others can endure it all. Hugo says he does so much, yet time still seems to pass too slowly for him.

Hugo’s boredom makes him cry

What are the consequences of Hugo’s boredom? As the Twitch streamer distances himself a bit from the group, he elaborates on how much the boredom affects him. He says he gets nervous due to the lack of stimulation and experiences a kind of panic attack.

Eventually, Hugo starts to cry and says he does not understand why he feels so bad about it. He is probably not used to “just chilling” anymore.

Why does Hugo feel this way? Uwe suggests as a possible reason that the Twitch streamer is overstimulated. He always has a screen in front of him, whether it be the PC or something else: “But it’s also nice without all that stuff.”
