Blue Protocol has been in the mind of RPG fans since its announcement back in 2019 and it seems that the radio silence around the game has finally come to an end. During a presentation, a new launch window was presented giving gamers hope to see the game soon. Let’s go over when you can expect to get your hands on Blue Protocol for yourself and what new information we know about that game.

Blue Protocol Release Date Revealed

It has been radio silence for the last year for Blue Protocol but the silence has been broken. During the recent live stream that was hosted a lot of information was revealed about Blue Protocol including an anticipated release date.

Blue Protocol received a spring 2023 release window for PC but this is limited to Japan. However many players still have hope as the team mentioned that a new trailer will be shown during The 2022 Game Awards which might hint toward localization and a global release.

If you are interested in trying the game out you can sign up for a network test that is going to be run in January from the 14 to the 16. The test is planned to host 50,000 players and if more than that amount of people sign up a lottery system will be used to select players.

What Classes Are Confirmed for Blue Protocol

We now know about a few of the classes that are going to be selectable by players when the game launches. Currently, there are five known classes; Aegis Fighter, Blast Archer, Heavy Smasher, Spell Caster and Twin Striker. Each class will have regular weapon skills, four sets of tactical skills and an Ultimate.

The Aegis Fighter seems to be the tanking class as they wield a sword and shield. They can block attacks with the shield but will need to be careful as blocking too many attacks will break their shield gauge and disable any skills that make use of the shield.

Blast Archer doesn’t have much information available about them at the moment. They will most likely be a ranged DPS class as most archers are. They do have one of the few healing abilities that are currently known which might allow them to play a more supportive role depending on other skill options.

Spell Caster will be the other option for ranged DPS as they will use elemental magic to tear enemies apart or burn them to a crisp. Spell Caster will have to make a choice when spell casting as they can empower their spells by charging them up before throwing them out.

The Heavy Smasher is one of your two melee DPS options. Wielding a large hammer, they are able to deal devastating blows to single targets as well as slow down whoever they hit. It was also noted that the ball on the end of the hammer can be used as a cannon by charging up and being fired out. This most likely won’t be their main form of DPS but is nice to have a ranged option on a melee class.

Finally, we have the Twin Striker. This melee DPS can interestingly be used as a backup tank should you not have someone playing an Aegis Fighter. This is because they have built-in lifesteal on their attacks to keep themselves up. However, they can be used as a DPS as well since they deal more damage based on their combo meter which goes up with each hit they land and decreases when they get hit.

It leads to a good balance as they can tank but deal low damage, or DPS and focus on staying out of damage. Hopefully, the trailer at The Game Awards will reveal a bit more about the game and what is coming with it but until then we will just have to wait.

Fortnite’s High Octane celebration event is here, giving players the chance to earn exclusive rewards in Fortnite, Rocket League, and Rocket League Sideswipe by completing a set of in-game quests. A handful of High Octane quests revolve around performing tricks in the new Octane vehicle, while the rest are centered around exciting Creator Experiences; player-made game modes inspired by Rocket League and its iconic vehicle. Here’s our full guide to completing all High Octane quests in Fortnite.

High Octane Fornite Battle Royale / Zero Build Quests

Fly 100 Meters Continuously in an Octane

The first set of High Octane Quests involves performing specific feats in the new Octane vehicle, which can be found around the Island in Fortnite’s Battle Royale or Zero Build modes. These quests should be no sweat for veterans of Rocket League, as the Octane controls in the exact same way, meaning your years of practicing tricks should certainly pay off here. There are a total of three quests, which can only be completed in either mode and award the player with 20,000 XP. Completing these quests also contribute toward Octane Bonus Goals, which unlock further cosmetic rewards, as well as exclusive items in Rocket League and Rocket League Sideswipe.

Perform a 720 Front or Back Flip in the Air with an Octane

To fly 100 meters continuously in an Octane, Jump and then tilt the car backward, with the hood facing the sky. Hold the Boost button for as long as possible, and the Octane will start to fly. Although a 100-meter fly can be done with a well-timed jump on the ground, this quest is best completed from a high area, such as a mountain or hill. The floating platform to the North West of Greasy Grove is perfect for this, as an Octane spawns directly in front of a large ramp.

To perform a 720 front or back flip in the air with an Octane, simply jump from a high point, boost, and then hold your designated Air Roll button, which is the same one you use to zoom in on weapons by default. That is LT on Xbox, L2 on PlayStation, ZL on Switch, and right-click on PC. Like before, the floating platform between Greasy Grove and the Reality Tree is a perfect spot for this.

Hit Opponents while Riding in an Octane

To hit opponents while riding in an Octane, drive directly into players. Quest progress is counted with any hit, so you can relentlessly ram into the same player three times if you wish. The easiest way to do this is to boost directly into them; just keep an eye on your fuel gauge.

Octane Fortnite Creator Experience Quests

There are eight total Octane Creator Experience quests in Fortnite’s High Octane event, awarding 20,000 XP each, as well as each completion contributing towards Octane Bonus Goals. The Creator Experiences featured in the quests are Rl Live, Snipers vs Octanes, Octane Race, and Rocketeer Ruins, with each Experience having two quests tied to them. Each Creator Experience can be accessed via the High Octane Quests section of the Discover tab.

Earn Points at RL Live

To earn points at RL Live, you will need to participate in the Freestyle or Racetrack minigames inside of the Rocket League Live – Neo Tokyo Creator Experience (Island Code: 9775-0165-8588v2). Head straight into the Racetrack minigame and simply drive around the track until you have accumulated enough points to complete your quests, which require you to earn 100 and 250 points, respectively. Seasoned Rocket League players may prefer Freestyle, which instead awards points for flying through hard-to-reach hoops.

Damage Car Opponents and Eliminate Sniper Opponents in Snipers vs Octanes

In the Snipers vs Octanes Creator Experience (Island Code: 8992-9205-6512v26), players are assigned as a Sniper or an Octane at the beginning of each round, with both sides trying to eliminate each other As a Sniper, you can complete the ‘Damage car opponents’ quest by dealing a total of 600 damage to Octanes with the weapons given to you. As an Octane, you only need to hit a single Sniper to complete the ‘Eliminate sniper opponents’ quest. While Snipers will be eliminated with a single hit, players on the Octane side can exit their vehicle and enter another at the back of the arena if their Octane becomes significantly damaged.

Collect Coins and Reach Each Hardpoint at Rocketeer Ruins

In Rocketeer Ruins (Island Code: 5620-6416-3977v2), players compete to control Hardpoints (objectives) in difficult-to-reach spots. To complete the ‘Reach each Hardpoint at Rocketeer Ruins’ quest, you need to touch Hardpoints A, B, C, D, and E once each. Only one Hardpoint is active at a time, with a colored directional arrow leading you to the current objective. If you were unable to touch a Hardpoint before it changed, you will need to wait until it becomes active again.

There are also coins spread throughout the arena, which require intricate parkour to reach. You will need to collect 8 of these coins to complete the ‘Collect coins at Rocketeer Ruins‘ quest. Rocketeer Ruins quests are the trickiest High Octane quests to complete by far, as both quests require complex maneuvers while other players are actively attempting to sabotage you. Thankfully, the Octane Bonus Goals only require a total of 8 quests completed, which means these quests can be safely skipped if you have completed the others.

Complete Laps and a Lap in Under 2 Minutes 30 Seconds in Octane Race

As the name suggests, Octane Race (Island Code: 3847-7344-8745v18), involves racing an Octane around a track, although this one is filled with obstacles only an Octane could maneuver around. Change your game privacy to private before entering Octane Race, as players that complete the all laps before you will cause the game to restart. Make your way around the track twice to complete the ‘Complete laps in Octane Race‘ quest, but make sure to hit every checkpoint, as skipping even a single one won’t count as a full lap. Completing a lap in under 2 minutes 30 seconds is a difficult task, however, learning the map, utilizing the Octane’s boost, hitting the free boost rings, and replenishing your boost with orbs will all improve your chances of breaking the target time.

Octane Bonus Goals Rewards

There are a number of exclusive cosmetic awards for completing High Octane quests in Fortnite, which will only be available to earn before this event ends on December 3 2022, the same date as the Fortnite Fracture live event, with Chapter 4 following soon after. Completing all Octane Bonus Goals will also earn you rewards in Rocket League and Rocket League Sideswipe.

Completing 2 High Octane quests in Fortnite will earn you the Shot in Flight Emoticon and Aerial Assist edit style for the Back Board Back Bling, as well as the Back Bling itself if not already owned.

Completing 4 High Octane quests will earn you the Octane Smash Spray and ‘Brella Beach edit style for the Back Board Back Bling.

Completing 6 High Octane quests will earn you the Battle-car Blaze edit style for the Back Board Back Bling.

Completing 8 High Octane quests will earn you the Clutch Victory Pickaxe and Fifty-Fifty edit style for the Back Board Back Bling. You will also unlock the following items in Rocket League and Rocket League: Sideswipe: Whiplash Car, Whiplash Wheels, Flames Decal, Stripes Decal, Wings Decal, and Lightning Decal.

Fortnite is available now for Playstation 4, Playstation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, Android devices, and PC. The High Octane event runs from November 13 to December 3, 2022.

Are you wondering when Carl dies in The Walking Dead? The award-winning show has been on since 2010 and will have 177 episodes by its concluding season. Unfortunately, during its 11-season run, there have been countless deaths of minor and major characters, so it may be hard to remember how and when Carl died. Nevertheless, here is everything you need to know about Carl’s death in The Walking Dead and its impact on the series.

When Does Carl Die in the Walking Dead?

Carl dies during episode 9, which is season 8’s midseason premiere. “Honor,” one of the best episodes in the series, aired on February 25, 2018. This episode is the last appearance of Chandler Riggs as Carl Grimes in the series. It was directed by Greg Nicotero, one of the series’s most popular directors.

How Does Carl Die in The Walking Dead?

In “Honor,” we see in a flashback that Carl was bitten by a walker when he and Siddiq fought off an attack in the wood. Carl slowly deteriorates due to his bite but never lets this change his attitude and outlook. He wrote sad but mature letters to characters like Rick, Michonne, Negan, and Judith that will continue to impact their lives in a positive light for years to come. Ultimately, Carl decided to take his own life, so his loved ones didn’t have to. While his death may impact Rick and Michonne forever, he at least spared them this horrific action.

What Impact Does Carl’s Death Have in The Walking Dead?

Carl always got a bad rap for being a bratty kid that offered nothing to the series, but we’d be hard-pressed to find a better adult. Carl was often the voice of reason in a world filled with adults who, quite honestly, never made the right choices. He took on way more responsibility than a kid his age should ever have to, and he did it with style. He sacrificed his mind and body during his time in The Walking Dead. Protecting his group, ensuring a loved one didn’t turn into a walker, and sparing those around him the burden of death by killing himself are just a few examples of his courageous actions. He was why countless lives were saved and changed how his father viewed the world.

RIP to one of the most remarkable characters in the series. Tip your hat and practice your best meme CARL! in his honor… CARL!

The eleventh season of The Walking Dead is currently airing on AMC.

One of the main driving factors for Tanjiro, the main protagonist in Demon Slayer, is to turn Nezuko, his demon sister, back into a human. In the first few episodes of Demon Slayer, we see Nezuko get turned into a demon, but a demon that recognizes and protects her brother and friends. As turning Nezuko back into her human form is central to the plot, will Nezuko ever become a human again?

When Will Nezuko Become Human in Demon Slayer

At the beginning of Demon Slayer, Nezuko is turned into a demon by Muzan Kibutsuji, the king of the demons. During the first season of Demon Slayer, Tanjiro and Nezuko meet Tamayo, a demon that is trying to develop a cure to revert demons back to their human form.

After meeting Tamayo, Tanjiro is tasked with collecting powerful demon’s blood to help with the research Tamayo needs for her cure. Though the last arc to get an anime was the Entertainment District Arc, the Demon Slayer manga is much further along and does contain spoilers for people who aren’t reading and only watching.

So far in the anime, Nezuko has not returned to her human form. However, in the Demon Slayer manga, in the Infinity Castle Arc, Nezuko does turn back into a human thanks to Tamayo’s cure. In Chapters 200 and 201 in the Demon Slayer manga, Nezuko is seen transforming back into a human.

An interesting thought to consider is whether or not Nezuko will want to be transformed back into a human. Because Nezuko has supernatural demon powers that allow her to be immortal, shapeshift, be ageless, and gain incredible strength, it will be interesting to see if Nezuko will want to turn back into a human. If she is able to control her demonic form, she may want to stay that way forever.

The best way to experience Nezuko’s character arc is to either read the manga or wait for the Demon Slayer anime to catch up.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba is available to watch on Crunchyroll, Funimation, Hulu, and Netflix.

When Blue Protocol was announced in 2019, it had a lot going for it. Originally called Project Sky Blue, this was going to be an anime MMO action RPG that would be similar to the likes of other games like Genshin Impact and Tower of Fantasy. However, the status of the game’s development went quiet for a bit. Now, we have news regarding a future release and an upcoming network test for the game. Here’s everything you need to know on how to sign up for the network testing for Blue Protocol.

How to Sign Up For the Blue Protocol Network Testing

At least right now, the game will only be on PC. This includes the network test starting early next year. So, to sign up for the test, you’re going to need a few things before even being considered. You’ll need the following:

PC Specs

You’ll need these specs at the minimum to run the game. Obviously, the better your specs are compared to this, the better your game will perform.

OS

• Windows 8.1/ Windows 10

CPU

• Intel Core i3-4340

Memory

• 8 GB RAM

GPU

• NVIDIA Geforce GTX 660 2GB
• AMD Radeon R& 370 2GB

Storage

• 20 GB or more

Resolution

• 1280 x 720 or higher

DirectX 12

Possibly a VPN

Blue Protocol’s network test will be run only in Japan, so if you are someone outside of the region, you will most likely need to run a VPN (a Virtual Private Network). It’s highly recommended to use paid VPNs as those are more secure compared to the free ones. With the program, you’re able to change your IP to a location in Japan so that your account isn’t removed from the test.

Japanese Bandai Namco Account

Since Blue Protocol will only be available in Japan during its network test, anyone outside of the region will have to make a new Bandai Namco account registered under the Japanese version. With a VPN, your IP might be registered and verified behind the scenes to ensure that you’re actually playing (technically) within the region.

You’ll be going through the login process in Japanese, but your browser should be able to translate the web pages for you to make things easier. Changing your region may not be enough, given that certain games from BN are only under the Japanese site.

You have from now until December 13, 2022, to sign up for the closed network test. A total of 50,000 players will be selected, so you may not be guaranteed a spot. Still, 50,000 is a lot. Finally, do not expect any progress made here to be transferred into the final build as this is just a test.

Blue Protocol will begin its network test from January 14 to January 16, 2023. An announcement of its global release will be revealed during the Game Awards on December 8, 2022.

Nezuko is the sister of Tanjiro, the main protagonist in Demon Slayer: Kimestsu No Yaiba, and her age is something of a debate. Based on what we learn in the first episode of the series, Nezuko is transformed into a demon which is a driving factor of Tanjiro’s main objective: to find the king of the demons and get them to turn Nezuko back to human form. Because of Nezuko’s demonic form, her age can get a bit complicated in Demon Slayer.

How Old is Nezuko in Demon Slayer, Explained

If you are watching Demon Slayer in chronological order, Season 1 shows Nezuko at age 12. When the tragic events in the first few episodes of Demon Slayer Season 1 occur, we see Nezuko at age 12. The last living members of Tanjiro’s family are himself and technically Nezuko.

This is where things get complicated. Demons are neither dead nor alive. Because of that, Demons don’t experience age. Therefore, while Nezuko may be experiencing the passage of time, because she is a demon, she doesn’t physically age.

When Nezuko sleeps and Tanjiro trains near the end of Season 1, two years pass. This means that Tanjiro ages two years and Nezuko ages two years. So, Nezuko is technically 14 years old, but her body will always remain stuck at 12 years old as long as she is a demon.

One thing that makes Nezuko’s age confusing is the fact that her physical body can shrink and grow. To fit in Tanjiro’s box backpack, Nezuko’s body shrinks to fit and to weigh less. In combat, Nezuko’s body grows and becomes more muscular. Though it may be confusing, her shapeshifting powers are the result of her demonic powers, not anything to do with her age.

Throughout the Mugen Train Arc and the Entertainment District Arc, Nezuko stays at the age of 14 because the general plot line doesn’t expand over years. Though more arcs are written in the manga that are yet to make it to anime just yet, the current age of Nezuko in Demon Slayer is 14.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba is available to watch on Crunchyroll, Funimation, Hulu, and Netflix.

Fortnite players are upset about a recent change to the game that to other gamers, it could be seen as a minor inconvenience. Fortnite developers decided to make a small change to the famous Fortnite Point of interest called Tilted Towers, and since the leaker shared the fact, the community has been rather upset.

On November 15, the official Twitter account of Hypex, a Fortnite leaker, shared with all Fortnite players and fans that the name of a famous location on the map changed. According to the post, Fortnite’s Tilted Towers will now be named Tainted Towers, this may seem like a minor change, but Fortnite players have shared their opinions since the leaker tweeted.

The tweet does not have even 24 hours live and already has more than eight thousand likes and more than two hundred retweets. Sadly most users who commented on the tweet are upset about the change, and the post keeps gathering attention from the community.

Many players can not think of a reason to make this change, and a few fans are already making fun of the new name, sharing silly memes, and more. Some have gone to extreme lengths stating that after this change, the game is dead.

A small change like this should not change how the game plays out, but Tilted Towers has been present in the game since Fortnite’s season two in 2018, and over the years, the Point of Interest has received some changes, but many players have grown attached to Tilted Towers.

On some Fortnite subreddits, players have taken this change with some humor, making jokes about the new name and suggesting better alternatives across many comments.

All in all, Fortnite players should take this change with a grain of salt. If Epic Games made this name change and if they are smart about keeping their fanbase happy, they can revert the change and keep it how it used to be, avoiding terrible memes and community complaints.

Fortnite is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices. For more information about the game, go to the official Fortnite Twitter account.

Call of Duty: Warzone 2 is set to launch on November 16, 2022, and many people are wondering if it is free to play. Whether you are brand new to Warzone or are a returning player that is eager to drop into Al Mazrah, you may be curious if Warzone 2 will follow Warzone 1 and be free to play.

Is Warzone 2 Free to Play?

The quick and easy answer is yes, Warzone 2 is free to play. Much like its predecessor and other famous Battle Royale games, Warzone 2 will launch free to play and continue to be free to play as long as it exists.

The reason why Warzone 2 is free to play is that players can purchase the Season Pass for extra skins and cosmetics. This keeps the game free to play for everyone while keeping it relatively fair by not having any obvious strategical advantage locked behind a paywall.

There has been controversy in the past over some skins that are pay-to-win or pay-to-lose. What that means is that some skins that are locked behind paying real money for the battle pass have better camo and are harder to detect. Some skins, while cool looking, are easier to detect and therefore pay-to-lose.

Though we don’t know the specifics of each and every weapon skin, players skin, and cosmetic in Warzone 2, we know that while there is merit to the pay-to-win pay-to-lose argument, it generally doesn’t matter as much about your skin; what matters is your skill.

If your excitement to jump into Warzone 2 can’t wait, then you can begin preloading the game now. Some of the new features to look forward to are a redesigned circle system, a brand new 2v2 Gulag, and, of course, a brand new map called Al Mazrah.

Stay up to date with all things Warzone 2 by checking in at Attack of the Fanboy. While the new Battle Royale mode is obviously exciting, the new DMZ mode is sure to surprise people with how different it is.

Call of Duty: Warzone 2 will be available on November 16, 2022, for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.

Are you wondering how tall Thor in God of War Ragnarök is after playing the game? Players worldwide praise the battle and cutscenes with Thor as some of the best in the game. They also say he is the superior Thor from any media to date. One of the contributing factors to this is Thor’s massive height. Thor has a significant height advantage over characters like Kratos and Atreus, but how tall is he? We will deduce his height based on comments made by his voice actor and the known height of protagonist Kratos. Here is everything you need to know about how tall Thor is in God of War Ragnarök.

How Tall is Thor in God of War Ragnarök

Kratos’s model was reduced in the 2018 release of God of War to six feet and four inches (6′ 4″) tall. This puts Kratos at a relatable height as roughly 14.5% of men in the U.S. are over six feet tall (roughly 1% for women, if you were wondering). If you weren’t aware of this height change, it might be shocking to see Kratos standing next to some of the tallest characters in the game, like Thor.

Ryan Hurst, Thor’s voice actor, recently stated during a speech at Comic Con Revolution 2022 that monitors were placed everywhere in the studio where he could see the heights of all the characters in God of War Ragnarök. Based on these monitors, Hurst determined that Thor is at least seven feet (7′) tall based on his viewing of the character model in relation to his 6′ 5″ frame.

With Kratos’s height and Hurst’s estimation in mind, we can add a foot to come out with a height of seven feet and five inches (7′ 5″) tall for Thor. There are only 2800 people in the world that are over seven feet tall! To put that into perspective, the average height of an artificial Christmas tree is 7′ 5″ tall. So when you put the final decoration on top of your Christmas tree this year, we hope you picture it as the top of Thor’s head and give it a friendly pat.

God of War Ragnarök is available on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.

Update 5.10 went live in Valorant on November 15, bringing many changes and fixes to the game. Among the many changes and fixes, Cypher got some needed buffs that will turn this forgotten sentinel into a must-pick in your next ranked matches, and many players are already praising the update on Reddit.

According to a post on a Valorant subreddit, Cypher needed the buffs, and now it should be a lot more appealing when going into ranked mode. The buff will not only allow players to make more elaborated tripwire setups, but it will also allow players to use their ultimate ability on any corpse, no matter how long the enemy has been dead.

Besides those buffs, the ultimate ability will track players twice before running out, allowing Cypher players to get the last ping on their enemy’s location before adjusting their position and setup.

The ultimate ability buff will make Cypher more valuable than ever. Before this update, players had a limited amount of time to use the ultimate ability. As soon as an enemy player died, a timer would start prompting players to use it.

Cypher mains can use their ultimate without worrying about missing their chance on a recently killed enemy, allowing for a more calm and methodical playstyle.

Besides this buff, Cipher received some quality-of-life changes that will make playing with the character a more pleasant experience. Cypher mains should feel on the same level as other sentinel characters like Chamber and Killjoy.

Valorant is a competitive shooter that has been on rapid growth since its release in 2020, and since then, the game has added new characters and maps. Unlike Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Valorant restricts utility items depending on the character or agent that players choose, so keeping a balanced playfield is vital to ensure a fair and competitive environment.

Valorant is available now on PC. For more information about the game, go to the official Valorant Twitter page.

Fortnite and Rocket League have had crossover events in the past, but none quite like this. The iconic Octane has been added to Fortnite’s Battle Royale, Zero Build, and Creative modes as part of the new High Octane event. Rather than being just a simple reskin of a regular car, the Octane controls exactly as it does in Rocket League itself — it can drive up walls, flip forwards and backward, and boost at supersonic speeds. But just where can you find an Octane in Fortnite?

Where to Find an Octane in Fortnite

The Octane can be found in any of the following Fortnite locations: Chromejam Junction, Shiny Sound, Chrome Crossroads, Tainted Towers, Chonker’s Speedway, Cloudy Condos, the beach near Mighty Monument, Greasy Grove, and the large floating platform South West of the Reality Tree.

Which of these locations Octanes will spawn at will differ in each match, however, the unnamed floating platform on the Western part of the island appears to be a static spawn, meaning an Octane will appear there in every game. Any Octane found in Battle Royale or Zero Build can be used to progress the High Octane quests, which reward the player in Fortnite, Rocket League, and its mobile spin-off, Rocket League Sideswipe.

Octanes are only in Fortnite’s Battle Royale and Zero Build modes for a limited time, although they appear to be permanent additions to the game’s Creative mode. The Octane is set to be vaulted on December 3, prior to the Fortnite Fracture live event and the release of Chapter 4 shortly after.

If you would prefer to drive an Octane without the fear of it being destroyed by other players — or being eliminated before you even find one — Epic Games are currently showcasing player-made experiences featuring Rocket League’s classic car in the Discovery Menu. All game modes under the High Octane category feature the new Octane vehicle, such as Tiny Cars, Big House!, which involves the player exploring a gigantic house as an Octane with unlimited Boost. Octane Race may be more your style if you’re searching for a high thrills race with your friends, or you can put your Rocket League skills to the test in The Impossible Tower.

Fortnite is available now for Playstation 4, Playstation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, Android devices, and PC. The High Octane event runs from November 13 to December 3, 2022.

The story of God of War Ragnarok is a lengthy one. Depending on your playstyle, difficulty settings, and what you aim to do can either add or lessen the amount of time played. With many variables in mind, you probably want to know how many chapters are actually in God of War Ragnarok to determine how far you have gotten with the core story. Here’s what you need to know.

How Many Chapters Are in God of War Ragnarok?

There are a total of 18 chapters in the game. While it might seem like a lot, it can be padded even more by looking for collectibles like treasure or completing the 47 favors. Without further ado, these are all the chapters in the game.

• Surviving Fimbulwinter
• The Quest for Tyr
• Old Friends
• Groa’s Secret
• The Lost Sanctuary
• The Reckoning
• The Runaway
• Into the Fire
• The Word of Fate
• Forging Destiny
• Unleashing Hel
• Reunion
• Creatures of Prophecy
• Unlocking the Mask
• Hunting for Solace
• The Summoning
• The Realms at War
• Beyond Ragnarok

You can use this list as a way to determine story progress.

A very welcomed design feature for the game is that even if you go through the whole story without venturing off the beaten path, nothing is truly missable. After the epilogue, Beyond Ragnarok, you can travel back to previous areas.

Although you cannot replay a chapter outright, you can go back and take on additional things that took place in the areas where it happened. The standard 30 or so hours it would take for pure story content can nearly be doubled with all the other things you can do in the post-game. Even if it is mostly cleanup and getting additional lore, it’ll be a lot of bang for your buck.

As of right now, there is no New Game +. It’ll most likely be implemented at a later time like it usually is in Sony’s first-party titles. A good 50 hours is more than enough time for a good nearly completionist playthrough.

God of War Ragnarok is available now on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.

Are you wondering if there will be a Season 12 of The Walking Dead? The awarding winning show has been on television since 2010. It is hard to imagine not having the series to follow after being invested in the characters’ lives for so long. We have felt like group members and learned how to navigate a zombie apocalypse should one arise in real life. One can hope, right? Here is everything we know about The Walking Dead season 12.

Will The Walking Dead have a Season 12?

Unfortunately, there will not be season 12 of The Walking Dead. AMC announced in 2020 that The Walking Dead would end with Season 11. The final season will consist of 24 episodes, with the series finale airing on November 20, 2022, on AMC.

The Walking Dead was not canceled. Instead, the showrunners felt season 11 was the best place to end the main series. While this is a sad development, we were treated to some of the best episodes in television history that we won’t soon forget.

What’s Next for The Walking Dead?

Don’t be too sad about the main series ending as you will be treated to three additional spin-offs featuring your favorite characters. The following three spin-offs have been officially announced and are currently in development:

• The Walking Dead: Dead City: Maggie and Negan head to the Big Apple for even more zombie fun. Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan are set to reprise their roles.
• Daryl Dixon: This untitled spin-off will focus entirely on Daryl as he is dropped into Paris, France. We can only imagine his personality clashing with those in Paris will result in great TV. Norman Reedus is set to reprise his role as Daryl.
• Rick Grimes and Michonne: This untitled spin-off will be a limited-run series set after the events of Season 9. We are excited to continue Rick and MIchonne’s story. Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira are set to reprise their roles.

If you can’t wait for any of the new projects, then catch up on the other The Walking Dead spin-offs that offer plenty of zombie action:

• Fear The Walking Dead
• Tales of the Walking Dead
• The Walk Dead: World Beyond

The eleventh season of The Walking Dead is currently airing on AMC.

Call of Duty Warzone 2.0 has been on all Battle Royale players’ minds for a while, and many fans of the prequel are looking for more information about the title. Many Warzone fans have been trying to preload the game, so they can start playing as soon as it goes live, and now it appears that Steam players who already have Modern Warfare 2 installed will be able to play the game without having to download more files.

On November 14, the official CharlieIntel Twitter account shared a screenshot with vital information for all PC players looking to get their hands on Warzone 2.0. According to the tweet, Steam users who already own Modern Warfare 2 have Warzone 2.0 preloaded, so they will not have to download any more files to experience the game.

This information comes from the official Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 Steam forum currently pinned at the top of the discussions tab. The post was made by a developer who also shares that players will have to look out for the season one update before Warzone 2.0’s launch on November 16.

In a recent stream, several content creators got to play and stream Warzone 2.0, and DMZ showing all players what the game will look like once it releases, and it gave a glance at how the DMZ game mode will play out when it goes out.

Even though many players are excited about Warzone 2.0, a few fans are not sold on the DMZ game mode and are waiting for its release to see if it offers something different to the battle royale experience.

Casual players do not know how extraction shooters play out, so DMZ may be their first introduction to the genre. Extraction shooters are relatively new, Escape from Tarkov is the main game that represents the genre, so there’s a chance that this is the first introduction to the genre for many Call of Duty players.

Many Escape from Tarkov veterans are waiting for DMZ’s release to test this new extraction shooter experience, so the expectations are high from experienced players of the extraction shooter genre.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is available now on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. For more information about the game, go to the official Treyarch Studio Twitter account.

Are you wondering what the best The Walking Dead episodes of all time are? The Walking Dead television show was created by Frank Darabont and is based on the hit graphic novels of the same name by Robert Kirkman. The show has been around since 2010 and will end in 2022 with 177 episodes. It has won 2 Primetime Emmy awards, 80 additional awards, and 234 nominations. The Series Finale will air on November 20, 2022, after an incredible 11 seasons. In honor of the zombie television show we’ve watched for over a decade, here are the best The Walking Dead episodes of all time, ranked.

The Best Walking Dead Episodes of all Time

There are so many amazing episodes to choose from, 177, in fact. So we have narrowed down the best the Walking Dead episodes of all time to 10. Each entry will have a brief synopsis of the episode and why it is so good compared to other episodes.

Conquer

Description: Daryl and Aaron run into Morgan. Alexandria decides the fate of Rick as a new danger appears.

Why It’s Good

“Conquer” has a handful of powerful scenes that tie up the season’s storylines and provide a shocking ending to Season Five. All of the actors brought their A-game in this episode. We also see the return of fan-favorite Morgan Jones, played by Lennie James.

JSS

Description: Alexandria comes under attack by the Wolves. Rick and his group try to lure the herd away while Carol and Morgan defend Alexandria.

Why It’s Good

The intense battle in Alexandria with the Wolves is one of the most intense sequences of the entire series. JSS also raises a few philosophical questions that have everyone questioning their motives and actions in the messed-up world they live in. This episode made Carol a lot of viewers’ favorite character of the series, which has been held to this day.

Thank You

Description: Half of the herd is now out of control. Glenn and Michonne lead Nicholas and their group back to Alexandria while Rick runs into survivor members of the Wolves.

Why It’s Good

The threat of zombies was finally brought back to the forefront… it is a zombie show, right? The episode’s dumpster scene was the highlight, which led to many sleepless, wondering nights for the show’s viewers, much to the ire of the then-showrunner Scott M. Gimple.

Too Far Gone

Description: Rick and the group face imminent danger as The Governor tries to take the prison.

Why It’s Good

The 24-episode arc featuring the Governor comes to a close… finally. As with everything else in the Walking Dead universe, it does so at a price, as we also lost three main characters, one of which stung a lot.

What Comes After

Description: Rick is forced to face the past as he struggles to maintain the safety of the communities and protect the future he and Carl envisioned.

Why It’s Good

We bid farewell to one of the series’ original characters as the series begins its new story arc. We also got a bunch of fun cameos and callbacks to boot. What an enjoyable and emotional way to say goodbye.

Killer Within

Description: The prison comes under attack as Lori goes into labor. Michonne tries to get Andrea to leave Woodbury.

Why It’s Good

The Killer Within is one of those defining moments for a character, and this one happens to both Rick and Carl. In addition, the episode features the birth of another important character who plays a prominent role later in the series. The emotions portrayed by the actors (often harshly critiqued) were powerful in this episode, making it the best The Walking Dead episode to truly see the character’s emotions come to life.

The Day Will Come When You Won’t Be

Description: Having been brutally overpowered by Negan and his Saviors, Rick and the group kneel helplessly as they suffer heavy losses that will haunt them forever.

Why It’s Good

This episode will also haunt all viewers because of the intense loss we suffered at the hands of Negan due to the group’s unwillingness to submit. In addition, the brutality of this episode caused the showrunners to tame down gruesome scenes in future episodes due to negative feedback.

No Sanctuary

Description: Carol takes drastic action to rescue Rick, and the group from the cannibals of Terminus as she and Tyreese reach the Compound. However, a familiar face makes a return.

Why It’s Good

“No Sanctuary” was the season premiere for Season 5. It brought a lot of emotion, explosions, and intensity, setting the tone for the remainder of the season. This episode was watched by 17.3 million people, breaking the record for the most-watched non-sports cable broadcast in TV history, making it not on one of The Walking Dead‘s best episodes but the most watched.

The Calm Before

Description: The four communities come together in celebration at the Kingdom’s fair, but while some pacts are renewed, others come at a much steeper price.

Why It’s Good

“The Calm Before” was the final episode of season nine, and we must say goodbye to two of our favorite season recurring characters. The events are a modified version of the gang’s encounter with Alpha and the Whisperer army from Robert Kirman and Charlie Adlard. This best The Walking Dead episode showcases how TV writers can end a season… brutally. But, unfortunately, this sets up the series for a much bigger war.

No Way Out

Description: Daryl, Sasha, and Abraham face off against the Saviors. Then, Rick and his group finally make their way through the herd at Alexandria.

Why It’s Good

“No Way Out” was the mid-season premier episode for season 6. It is considered The Walking Dead’s best episode ever, with a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes. The pace of the episodes is intense, albeit a bit slow, but the end is very action-packed and gruesome, making the payoff worth it.

The eleventh season of The Walking Dead is currently airing on AMC.

Call of Duty: Warzone 2 is extremely close on the horizon and some people have been worried about a certain aspect of the game’s overall placement in the franchise. Other excited fans have been busy learning how to preload Warzone 2 but there is some slight unease floating around the community.

When Modern Warfare 2019 had Call of Duty Warzone added to the game it was clear that a lot of significant focus was put on the battle royale. This has led some fans to have concerns that a similar destiny will lay in wait for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II with the release of Call of Duty: Warzone 2. Is live service of this kind the future? Or is this the beginning of the end for such implementations?

Across community forums, players have been voicing their thoughts and Reddit user u/StillGalaxy99 created a post that gained a lot of attention on the subject of Warzone’s past with Modern Warfare 2019. Within the title of the post, they were hoping that Warzone 2 wouldn’t “make the mistake MW2019 made” and other users weighed in with their similar thoughts. Players are worried that Modern Warfare II gets taken away from the spotlight and the multiplayer gets pushed to the side to make way for all new improvements or additions to Warzone 2.

It doesn’t help that Call of Duty games into one app with frequent large updates affecting the entire experience. The decisions definitely ensure that people get their fair share of Call of Duty action but is that action going to be mainly focused on the game they paid for? Or the free experience everyone can dip their time into? That’s what people are worried about.

The most important aspect is that people have fun with either experience. The merger may bring a lot of benefits in the long run but given that players are already making connections with the previous Warzone, there may be some doubts for a while.

The full download size of Warzone 2 is already quite large as it is. All in all, fans will be having a ton of fun with Warzone 2 but we all hope that Modern Warfare II doesn’t get clouded in the background. New content is on the way for Modern Warfare II such as an expansion in 2023 so that is promising news.

Call of Duty: Warzone 2 will be available on November 16 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.

The Call of Duty franchise has been famous for many years because of its captivating stories and enticing multiplayer experiences. Call of Duty veterans remember the first titles with nostalgia, but some of them cannot forget the incredibly toxic lobbies they used to play on, and in Modern Warfare 2, they seem to have resurfaced.

On November 14, a post on a Modern Warfare 2 subreddit regarding players’ toxicity started to gain some traction, and many players are still commenting on the post. According to the post, many players have faced toxic opponents that threaten them with violence or harass them with offensive language over voice comms or in-game chat.

At the time of this writing, the post has over two hundred comments and almost two thousand upvotes, and most of them agree with the previous statement. Many players have faced a similar situation, and a few players have received messages with threats of physical violence.

Some players believe this is pretty normal when it comes to the Call of Duty community and do not give the toxic behavior too much thought.

Toxic behavior is common among the competitive gaming community, but according to what several Reddit users shared, Call of Duty players seem to take it to the next level.

All players can do right now is mute the enemy team so they cannot bother them at the end of a match and ignore any rude comments made by other players. Reporting them should be enough to stop the toxic behavior, but in many cases is not that simple.

All in all, Call of Duty players should be excited about the new season coming to Modern Warfare 2 and the release of Warzone 2.0 and DMZ. Call of Duty fans will have lots of content to go through this holiday season, so they should start practicing their aim and test new loadouts to get ready for the battle royale experience set to surpass Warzone’s success.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is available now on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. For more information about the game, go to the official Treyarch Studio Twitter account.

Players can find many items in God of War Ragnarok to upgrade their weapons to their strongest form. For the Leviathan axe, you need to collect Frozen Flames, and for the Blades of Chaos, it is required to find Chaos Flame. In addition to those items, there are also Chaos Sparks scattered through the nine realms, where if you collect all of them, you can upgrade your Blades of Chaos even further. There are six Chaos Sparks available, and this guide will give you the precise location of each so you can make your Blades even stronger.

Where to Find All Chaos Sparks in God of War Ragnarok

There is a high chance that you will run into numerous of these Chaos Sparks by just playing the main story. These are the easier ones to find, but others require players to go off the main path and explore further. Each one of these spark locations will have players fighting the Hateful boss, who come from a Draugr hole. Here are all six Chaos sparks locations.

Chaos Spark Locations:

• Svartalfheim: There is a Chaos Spark located behind the Watchtower. You know you are getting close when you encounter the Hateful boss fight.

• Svartalfheim: Head to the Applecore region of this realm, where you will see rocks hanging above. Your support partner can shoot these rocks down and continue to the broken door afterward. Go through the waterfall and grapple over, where there is a door to the right. A Draugr hole is here where you need to fight the Hateful.

• Alfheim: Head towards the west side of The Barrens. Here you will notice a shrine-like structure made of rocks. You will encounter another Draugr hole. Fight the Hateful to claim the Chaos Spark.

• Vanaheim: The Draugr hole can be found after completing the crane puzzle in the Abandoned Village. Go northwest and cross over the bridge. Through the waterfall, you will encounter another Draugr hole. 

• Midgard: Northeast of Lake of Nine, you will find another Draugr hole underneath a cave-like structure. Like before, kill the Hateful and claim the Chaos Spark.

• Vanaheim: Northeast of the Plains region of the realm, you will find the final Draugr hole. This area can only be reached by boat, so you must raise the river through the Return of the River favor.

Now you can turn those Chaos Sparks into the shop to upgrade your Blades of Chaos to a stronger form. While exploring these realms for these items, keep an eye out for treasure maps that can lead you to rare resources for crafting the best armor sets in the game!

God of War Ragnarok is available now on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.

Ship of Fools is an upcoming indie game that people, especially people who love couch co-op, shouldn’t sleep on. For single and multiplayer, Ship of Fools has a lot to offer, but does it have cross play and cross progression? Here’s your answer.

Cross Play and Cross Progression Explained in Ship of Fools

The short answer is no, Ship of Fools does not currently have cross play or cross progression. Cross play, if you don’t know, is whether or not a game can play online with other consoles. Cross progression, if you don’t know, is whether or not a game can carry over your saved progress onto a different platform.

Though cross play and cross progression aren’t currently in Ship of Fools it does not mean those features will never be in the game. Fika Productions, the development team behind Ship of Fools, is dedicated to beefing Ship of Fools up even after launch. Ship of Fools will be a mini live-service indie game which means that new content and new features will be introduced into the game incrementally after launch.

Since Ship of Fools is launching onto many platforms, it is sad to see the game not initially have cross play. Though Ship of Fools is playable and enjoyable solo, it really shines when playing online or couch co-op. for example, it is a shame that a PlayStation player can’t play together with a PC player. We hope to see cross play make it to Ship of Fools soon.

Though cross progression isn’t as important as cross play in a game like Ship of Fools, it would be nice to see that feature. If you really love Ship of Fools and want to play it on multiple consoles, you’ll need to have separate saves for each console.

As we said, these features could get introduced into the game later, but at launch, Ship of Fools will not have cross play or cross progression.

Ship of Fools will be available November 22, 2022, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

God of War Ragnarok is a seamless adventure from start to finish, but something that might get in your way is the fallen pillar the Shrine of Tyr. Though the game has some instructions on how to overcome this obstacle, it can still be confusing. Here is how to pass the fallen pillar and enter the Shrine of Tyr in God of War Ragnarok.

How to Move the Fallen Pillar at the Shrine of Tyr in God of War Ragnarok

For this obstacle, you won’t need the tool used to deal with the yellow cracks, you’ll need to use the Blades of Chaos. As you approach the Shrine of Tyr in Midgard, you’ll come across some structural damage thanks to Fimbulwinter.

To move the fallen pillar blocking your way to the Shrine of Tyr in God of War Ragnarok, get close to the pillar, look at the red part of it (you’ll see a button indicator with a Blade of Chaos next to it), press the circle button, and push the left analog stick to the left.

If you follow this, you’ll attach a blade to the pillar and swing it out of the way. You are now able to jump across the gap with Atreus. As you continue up, another gap will be placed before you.

To continue, look down and to the right. When you see the same circle button indicator with a Chaos Blade next to it, press the button and swing the fallen pillar to the right. And just like that, you can use the fallen pillar to get across.

Further into the Shrine of Tyr, you’ll come across another fallen pillar blocking your way (Fimbulwinter really did a number on the architecture here). To continue, you’ll need to use your Leviathan Axe to break the tree first, and then use the Blades of Chaos to move the pillar as you’ve done so far.

And that is how to get past all of the fallen pillars blocking your way to the Shrine of Tyr. As you continue forward through the story, you may need some help with the treasure locations.

God of War Ragnarok is available now on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.

Call of Duty: Warzone 2 is nearly here and people have been wondering how to preload the game in order to plunge themselves into the action the very second the servers go live. While some people are getting all the details on how to interrogate enemies in the experience, others are more concerned about first getting access to the game. There is thankfully a way to preload it for everyone and it means that regardless of whether you have Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II or not you will be able to access the preload. This article will take you over exactly how to preload Call of Duty: Warzone 2.

Preloading Call of Duty: Warzone 2

In order to begin preloading the game all you will have to do is make your way to your respective platform’s storefront and search for Call of Duty Warzone 2. It should be noted that for PC players you can either preload it through Battle.net or Steam. Once you have reached the overall landing page of Warzone 2 you can press the download button and begin the preloading. Although on Steam it will already be preloaded for you if you have Modern Warfare II already.

For those who are struggling to find it on PlayStation, you can locate the Warzone 2 section through the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II landing page. From there you can simply download it. If you have Modern Warfare II already installed then there will just be a smaller content update you have to install. The same is true for Xbox users. When we tested the preload on PlayStation 5 it was 2.55GB for Content Pack 5 (Warzone 2) so it won’t take up too much extra space which is nice.

Other Preparations Before the Launch of Warzone 2

You may be wondering if there’s anything else you need to sort out before you can begin enjoying everything that Warzone 2 will offer. The answer to that is there isn’t but it may be a great idea to continue leveling the weapons that you have in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and keeping in mind some incredible weapons such as the best assault rifles to have.

Call of Duty: Warzone 2 will be available on November 16 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.

Just like its predecessor in 2018, God of War Ragnarok has treasure hunts to keep players busy for quite some time during and after the story. These treasures are well worth it, considering you can get helpful crafting components to help create the best armor and upgrade your weapons. While players can find most of the treasure maps and the treasure itself in the same realm, the Demise of Dagestr is different, where players will need to go to two separate locations. This guide will walk you through the exact locations in each realm so you can complete this treasure hunt.

How to Find the Demise of Dagestr Treasure

Players will find the treasure map in Svartalfheim, shown in the image below. Go down the elevator at the location.

Head down the pathway until you see a crack in the wall with wind coming out of it. Use your spear in the crack, climb to the top, and find the treasure map there. Pick it up to activate the quest.

Now you must proceed back to a gate, where you must fast-travel to Midgard. The treasure is located on the northwestern side of Lake of Nine (image below for reference.) Before you can reach it, you must destroy an ice wall with your spear. There will be a crack in the ice, which is hard to miss.

Continue down to the end of the path, where you will find a glowing circle in the ground. Hit the circle button to collect the treasure.

The reward for completing this treasure hunt is as follows:

• x2 Asgardian Ingot
• x40 Shattered Rune
• x2 Petrified Bone
• x2 Luminous Alloy
• 1x Helheims Force Amulet Enchantment

All the treasure hunts are worth it with rewards like the ones mentioned above. Give yourself a headstart on these treasure hunts by checking out our guides on the Washed Ashore, Vikings Gift, A Scar is Born and the Forgotten Tower treasures!

God of War Ragnarok is available now on both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.

To complete 100 percent of God of War Ragnarok, you must do some treasure hunting. Through all nine realms, treasure maps can be found that provide a picture as a clue leading you to an area where you can find the treasure. The rewards are worth it as they can be rare resources to help with your crafting needs for armor and weapons. This guide will walk you through the Forgotten Tower treasure location in Alfheim.

Where to Find the Forgotten Tower Treasure

It is important to note that players can only access this treasure map if the Secret of the Sands quest has been completed. If this quest is not taken care of, the sandstorm will block the door to access this area. Check out our guide for the Secret of the Sands quest first, and then come back here to find the treasure.

Now that the Secret of the Sands quest is done, you will want to make your way to the Forbidden Sands location through the door to the west. Check out the image below for your reference.

Players can find the map inside a building on the upper level. It will be located on a shelf to the right.

Make your way out of the building, and you will be challenged by a boss preventing you from leaving. Battle and kill the enemy and continue out of the building.

Now continue northwest to the location shown below. Here you will find grapples, which you want to use your Blades of Chaos to get onto the top level. There will be enemies here, so be ready to fight.

To the left of the enormous platform, you will find the treasure. It is hard to miss as it is glowing. Walk up to it and hit the circle button to collect the reward.

The reward for completing this treasure hunt is as follows:

• x10 Shattered Rune
• x1 Stonewood
• 1x Dwarven Steel
• 1x Honed Metal
• 1x Alfheims Virtue Amulet Enchantment

As you can see from the rewards, these treasure hunts are well worth it. The good news for you is that we have guides on our site that can help you find some more. Feel free to check out the guides for Washed Ashore treasure, Vikings Gift treasure, and A Scar is Born treasure.

God of War Ragnarok is available now on both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.

God of War Ragnarok features tons of end-game content to keep fans busy after beating the main story. Some of this end-game content requires collectibles, such as collecting ravens and hunting down treasure maps, along with its rewards. With no clues given to the players, it can be challenging to find these maps without just having good luck and running into them on your path. Alfheim has a treasure called A Scar is Born, which is pretty well hidden, so this guide will help you find it.

Where to Find A Scar is Born Treasure

This treasure is located in Vanaheim. It is important to note that there is no way to reach this treasure map unless the favor “Return of the River” is completed. This will bring back the water to the area, allowing Kratos to use his boat and reach islands he could not previously access.

Once you have the river raised, you will want to go to the location shown in the image below, located in The Plains. You can tell you are at the right location if you see a Yggdrasil Rift in the middle of the land.

On the island, the treasure map will be to the left in the corner. Go ahead and pick it up to activate the treasure hunt.

Now head back to the mainland that leads towards the Sinkholes. The specific location is shown on the map below.

You will see some archways in the ground, and the treasure is to the right on your way down. It will be glowing, which makes it pretty difficult to miss.

Picking up this treasure will reward you with the following items:

• x4 Asgardian Ingot
• x75 Shattered Rune
• x4 Petrified Bone
• x4 Luminous Alloy
• x1 Asgards Justice Amulet Enchantment

There are more of these treasures to be found throughout the nine realms. Feel free to check out the Vikings Gift treasure in Midgard or the Washed Ashore treasure in Svartalfheim.

God of War Ragnarok is available now on both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.

Fallout 4 has an incredible range of melee weapons that always keep combat fresh and exciting. Deciding what melee weapons to hunt for in the expansive world can be a task in itself and so many people discuss what weapons they think are the greatest to have. While some people are searching for where to get aluminum in the game, you may be focused instead on obtaining the best melee weapons around. This article will take you through the important details based on the best melee weapons in Fallout 4.

Best Melee Weapons of All Time in Fallout 4

10. Hunter’s Boxing Glove

There is something extremely satisfying about utilizing an actual boxing glove as a melee weapon in Fallout 4. This weapon is still nice and quick with lower damage output but the aesthetic and medium-speed attacks make up for it. Not only that but the fact you are wielding an actual boxing glove is enough to sway most folks’ mind’s to give it a try.

9. Instigating Pool Cue

If you are a fan of Kevin Conroy’s voice acting work in the Batman Arkham series then you likely may have also seen The Dark Knight movie. During this, you will be familiar with a section where The Joker starts some “tryouts” for people joining his side by snapping a pool cue in half and throwing it to the ground. Welding a pool cue as a melee weapon in Fallout 4 has a similar vibe that echoes pain thoroughly. Special versions of the pool cue such as the Instigating one will cause double damage when an enemy is at full health giving you a massive advantage.

8. Bladed Cedar Baseball Bat

The list wouldn’t be complete without a mention of our old friend — the baseball bat. When you mod the baseball bat out a bit or stumble across a bladed one this is going to be a weapon that ensures you get one of the best melee weapons around. With damage roughly at 94, it is extremely impressive for everything you can achieve with this melee weapon.

7. Serrated Chinese Officer Sword

One of the most powerful weapons in the game based on attack speed is the Serrated Chinese Officer Sword. With damage at 90 with medium-speed attacks, it will always inflict a boatload of damage on any enemy you encounter. It feels really nice to wield and no matter what sort of enemy you are facing it will allow you to get close and personal with them quickly with not too many issues inflicting damage onto them.

6. Super Sledge

The Super Sledge boasts an impressive 128 base damage commonly and that of course makes it a brutal weapon to have on your side. Unlike an Officer Sword, it doesn’t have a medium attack speed but it does have a slow attack speed for triple-digit damage. This of course brings it up to one of the highest contenders for being one of the best melee weapons in the game.

5. Power Fist

Another brilliant weapon to wield is the Power Fist. Whenever we have this weapon equipped it feels slightly like getting transported to the world of Bioshock in Rapture. The mechanical whirring as you punch out in front of you with the weapon is a beautiful occurrence to view. It has a nice range of damage and in terms of aesthetics, it is definitely one of the best melee weapons to have with you.

4. Deathclaw Gauntlet

Deathclaws are one of the most fearsome enemies to face in the experience and having a weapon based on a Deathclaws’ hand is certainly a power move if there ever was one. Overall the weapon also has a great damage output which means you won’t only look stylish on the battlefield but you will strike fear into the hearts of your enemies too.

3. Grognak’s Axe

This specific weapon can be found in Hubris Comics behind the main desk. There is a glass display case where you will have to lockpick the advanced lock to open it and grab the axe from inside. It causes more stagger damage to enemies and will even ensure there is extra bleed damage. Overall, this is a weapon you will want to have as part of your weapon list. Given the fact it inflicts 80 damage with medium-speed attacks, it can be a great weapon against foes.

2. Kremvh’s Tooth

Kremvh’s Tooth is a great example of a weapon that will always be remembered in the franchise’s history. With a damage rate of around 94, it sounds quite similar to others on this list. However, it even poisons enemies which makes it stand out in front of the pack. You will be able to locate this weapon in the Dunwich Borers and it is a trip that you should be taking very soon if you don’t already have this incredible weapon.

1. Ripper

Any of the Ripper-based weapons are excellent to have with you. They act similarly to how a chainsaw works, you will need to be up close and personal with enemies but you will get extremely quick and lethal damage output on anyone who stands in your way. If you are wanting a melee weapon that won’t let you down at key moments when foes are way too close then this is the one for you.

As can be seen, there are certainly a ton of unique melee weapons which you can add to your ever-growing arsenal. Now when you are hunting ghouls across the barren wasteland you can do so with a melee weapon that will remain in their minds forevermore. Of course, you may want to combine your weapons with some of the best mods in Fallout 4.

Fallout 4 is available right now and playable on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC.

Are you wondering if you can play Pentiment on the Steam Deck? The Steam Deck is everyone’s favorite device to play their Steam game without needing a fancy gaming rig. Pentiment is the perfect game on the Steam Deck since you will spend most of your time reading and exploring Tassing. You can lay in bed or lounge on the couch and still get full enjoyment out of the game. The only downfall to playing on the Steam Deck is the game’s dialogue system, but there are ways around that if needed. Here is everything you need to know about playing Pentiment on the Steam Deck.

Can You Play Pentiment on the Steam Deck?

Pentiment became Steam Deck verified on November 14th according to Obsidian’s Twitter account. You may have to make minor tweaks, but that is it. That means you can sit back and enjoy your journey while solving the murder mystery in Tassing.

Steam Deck Performance

Pentiment is a 2D game that requires minimal resources to run. No crazy special effects, intense graphics, or anything else would prevent it from running, just like on your Xbox or PC. I don’t foresee any issues with the game’s performance, in-game cutscenes, or sound effects.

Controls

Pentiment was developed for the Xbox consoles and PC with full controller support. This means you won’t have to use the Steam Deck’s trackpads to control anything in the game. You also have basic movement controls, so you don’t need the benefit of an actual controller. The other ways to interact with the games require a single button press.

Visuals

Pentiment’s visuals and dialogue system are where you will most likely struggle with playing on the Steam Deck. The text can get tricky to read with the stylized text and writing effects. Fear not. The developers also developed an Easy Read system that disables the game’s stylized text and provides many customization options. You will need to configure these sitings to work for you on your Steam Deck.

Pentiment is available on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.

Are you wondering how to solve the Volvelle Puzzle in Pentiment? The volvelle puzzle is one of the only puzzles in the game that takes multiple steps, which are missable. Solving this puzzle will earn you two different achievements, additional dialogue check options, and evidence for convicting one of the murder suspects. Here is everything you need to know to solve the volvelle puzzle.

How to Solve the Vovelle Puzzle in Pentiment

There are a handful of ways you can solve the Vovelle Puzzle. Each solution will be determined by your choices in-game, like the background you chose. Some of these steps are missable, and you must complete this by Act 1 because it provides evidence of one of the murder suspects. I will provide you with each possible way to solve this puzzle so you can do so regardless of your choices.

Investigate the Cellar

You can access the cellar immediately after you arrive at the abbey for the first time in the game. Head to the Church, and you will find the door to the cellar next to Father Mathieu. Once inside, you will want to head to the right until you come to a statue of a virgin mother with a child.

Look at the statue by using the Investigate icon. Move your mouse cursor around until it touches the key that the baby is holding. The pointer will turn red when you have touched it correctly. The statue will slide into the wall revealing a secret entrance into the Library. There is nothing more for you to do with this entrance for now.

Volvelle

The next step is finding the volvelle. Before you head into the scriptorium, head to the Prior House in Old Bailey, and inspect the round item with four colors and constellations. That is all you can do with it for now. Go ahead and head into the scriptorium now.

Prior Ferenc’s Book

After dialogue with the fellow monks, you will see Prior Ference enter the room and quickly write something in a book. You will need to help Illuminata with collecting books before you can investigate. Once you do investigate the book and you will find the key to the cipher written. Head back to the volvelle.

How Your Choices Affect the Rest of the Puzzle

If you took the Heavens and Earth background, you could skip down to the next section because you can solve the puzzle with no additional step needed. Otherwise, you must either talk to Werner or sneak into the Library at night.

Talk to Werner

You can talk to Werner, who lives in North Town. He will explain how constellations work and provide you with the last part of the clue to solve the cipher.

Sneak Into The Library

On the second night before going to bed, you can sneak into the Library using the secret entrance in the cellar. On the Library’s second level, you will find a book on a podium. The book will explain how constellations work and provide the final clue you need.

Let’s Solve it!

Now that you have the key, you can solve the volvelle puzzle. First, you need to rotate the wheel so the matching color lines up with the upside-down triangle. After that, match the color’s symbol to find the appropriate letter. Do this for all four colors until you achieve the word in the picture above. After you solve the volvelle, you do not need to do anything else for this puzzle. You have earned every possible achievement for doing so. However, the clue it leads to is important for other aspects of the game.

What’s Next?

The volvelle will lead you to Brother Gerhard’s grave in the abbey’s cemetery. This will be important later in the game if you investigate a specific character. Here is a hint if you choose this path: come back the next day and investigate the grave again to progress this branch of clues.

Pentiment is available now on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.

Are you wondering how to pass every dialogue check from Act 1 in Pentiment? Dialogue checks are extremely hard to pass because you only get one shot at the answer unless you quickly reload an old save file and try again. If you fail to answer correctly, the NPC will not be persuaded to whatever goal you currently trying to accomplish. A failure will prevent certain actions or you from learning important information. You will know an answer you give is part of a dialogue check when you see the phrase: “This will be remembered.”

How to Pass Every Dialogue Check from Act 1 in Pentiment

Here is every dialogue check from Act 1 with the correct responses. I tried to get you the correct responses without using a specific Background, but sometimes it is easier to use a response based on your Background than not. I have noted when this is the case.

Act 1

Persuade Illuminata:

• Offered to help Illuminata enthusiastically.
• Asked forgiveness for keeping books.

You will earn an achievement for completing this dialogue check.

Earn a Friendly Greeting From Martin:

• Told Martin not to work too hard.
• Invited Martin to supper with the boys.

This is one of the hardest dialogue checks, as none of your responses seem like they would be appropriate.

Earn Lorenz Rothvogel’s favor:

• Acted honored at Lorenz’s invitation to walk with him.
• Expressed fascination with Luther’s ideas.
• You were enthusiastic about sharing occult lore (Occult Background)
• Addressed the baron respectfully
• Engaged Lorenz in a debate at dinner

You will earn a pin that you can equip. This pin follows you into the next act, so it is a cool visual change to your character. Note that the biggest way to pass this dialogue check is by engaging Lorenz in a dinner debate. You don’t need the Occult Background to pass as long as you debate him.

Persuade Lucky:

• Orator Background (Orator Background)
• Didn’t hassle Lucky about his fight with Lorenz

Passing this dialogue check will get Lucky to invite you to dinner, and you will learn about the “innocents” clue for use as evidence.

Persuade Gernot:

• Convinced Gernot you left abbey alone
• Don’t engage Lorenz in a debate

If you pass this dialogue check, Gernot will permit you to dig up the grave.

Persuade Mathieu

• You can only pass this option if you see Mathieu’s steamy scene in the library after you sneak in at night for the Volvelle puzzle.

If you pass this dialogue check, Mathieu will not run and tattle on you to the abbey for digging up the grave.

Pentiment is available on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.

Are you wondering how to load old saves in Pentiment to redo an action? Pentiment is a dialogue-heavy game where your choices truly matter. These choices can range from dialogue checks to finding evidence to unlocking new areas. One potentially frustrating aspect is the inability to replay a particular action repeatedly if you do not like the result, want to see what happens, or are achievement hunting. The good news is you can load old saves. The bad news is you only have a small window to reload a game, and you cannot go back further than the available saves. Here is how you load old saves with the game’s auto save feature.

How to Load Old Saves in Pentiment

Pentiment uses an auto save feature that triggers after every dialogue interaction when you navigate to a new scene, find evidence, or sleep for the day. It auto saves a lot, but unfortunately, you can only access the last seven save files including the one with your current progress. This means you only have six slots available to reload from. So while it is possible to load an old save, you have to do it quickly. Otherwise, you risk overwriting the save file you want to load.

New Game Menu

The option to load an old save is hidden in an area you wouldn’t necessarily think to look at (which the developers may have done on purpose). Here is how you access the Old Saves menu:

1. From the main menu screen, select new game (don’t worry, this won’t overwrite any save files)
2. At the bottom of the screen, you will see a few options, one of them being Old Saves
3. Move your cursor to the save slot you are currently playing on and select the Old Saves option
4. This will open up the Old Saves Menu and show you the last seven available saves

Old Saves Menu

Once the Old Saves menu is loaded, you will gain access to the last seven auto saves the game made, starting with the most recent. The top option will always be the most current save file. You can pick any of these to load by moving your cursor to the save and selecting the Load Game function.

REMINDER: Remember that you can only reload the last seven save files. This means you have to reload the game immediately, as you cannot reload to a previous point in the game. For instance, you cannot reload a save file from Act 1 while in Act 3.

Pentiment is available on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.

Are you wondering how to disable the stylized text and writing effects in Pentiment? Pentiment is a dialogue-heavy game, and as such, you will spend most of your time reading. The developers have created stylized text and writing effect systems to make it less tedious for the player. These two systems also make the game more authentic by visually displaying the text of the person you are talking to based on their education level, country, and overall feeling towards them.

If you find these systems too much, get sick of them after a while, or want the standard text to save time for additional playthroughs, you can use another system the developers created called Easy Read. Here is everything you need to know about disabling the stylized text and writing effects in Pentiment.

How to Disable Stylized Text and Writing Effects in Pentiment

The developers modeled Pentiment’s dialogue system after early print, woodcuts at the transition, and medieval manuscripts from the late medieval to early modern art eras. Instead of basic text dialogue, the text you read will be influenced by several factors in-game. If this proves too much, you can customize how you see the text without being punished. The developers want you to enjoy the game as you see fit, so they have provided you with many customization options.

Start of New Game

You can enable the Easy Read system when you click the New Game option from the Main Menu screen. This will change the Stylized Fonts to use the Easy Read fonts instead. If you want to customize further how your dialogue looks, make sure to access the in-game Settings Menu.

In-Game Settings

If you did not enable Easy Read when creating a New Game, you could also do so by accessing the in-game Settings Menu. Navigate to the Game tab and check the Easy Read Fonts box. You can also change additional settings based on how you want the game to appear to you visually. Again, there is no wrong answer here, so customize your dialogue system however you see fit.

Pentiment is available on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.

Are you wondering where to find all the pets in Pentiment and what they are for? Exploration and interaction play a huge part in Pentiment. You can interact with characters, objects, flowers, and even the pets of your favorite Tassing residents. You will see Tassings’ pets throughout the three Acts, just like their owners. Show some love to the pets and earn an achievement in the process.

All 11 Pet Locations in Pentiment

Pets are spread throughout the town of Tassing and in the Kiersau Abbey. You will know you can pet the animals as an Investigation icon will appear on them when you are close enough. When you interact with them, you will see a short in-game cutscene that is super adorable.

How Do You Earn The Achievement?

To earn the ‘A Regular Saint Francis’ achievement, you must pet five pets by interacting with them. However, you do not have to pet five pets in order, so if you have already progressed the game, you can still earn this achievement as long as you still have access to five pets. I have provided you with all pet locations throughout the game in all three acts.

Note: The same pets inhabit different acts, but their locations change. This is what the game records when interacting with a “new” pet. Interacting with the same pet repeatedly will not trigger the achievement.

Act 1

You can pet the following animals in Act 1:

• Mirabilis in the Abbot house
• Mausfanger in the Convent Garden
• Staub at the Mill
• Schlau in Central Town
• Furstchen in the Abbey Guest House

Act 2

You can pet the following animals in Act 2:

• Shlau in the Meadow to the right of the Golden Hand Inn
• Staub inside of the Mill House
• Mausfanger inside the Convent Garden Building
• Cat inside of the Abbey Kitchen Cellar. You must Feed it to pet it
• Mirabilis in the Large Garden

Act 3

• Sube at the Mill
• Son of Mausfanger in the Covnent Garden

Pentiment is available on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.

Are you wondering where to find all flower locations in Pentiment and what they are for? Like those adorable pets, flowers are spread throughout Tassing and the Kiersau Abbey. When interacting with you will learn about them and their potential uses. Take a break from solving a murder by smelling wonderful flowers and earn an achievement.

Where to Find All Plant Locations in Pentiment

Plants are spread throughout the town of Tassing and in the Kiersau Abbey. You will know you can smell a flower as an Investigation icon will appear on them when you are close enough. When you interact with them, you will get in-game text explaining the type of flower and its uses. This explanation will change based on the backgrounds you choose.

How Do You Earn The Achievement?

To earn the Smell the Roses achievement, you must smell ten flowers by interacting with them. However, you do not have to smell all flowers in order, so if you have already progressed the game, you can still earn this achievement as long as you still have access to ten total flowers. I have provided you with all flower locations for every Act.

Note: The same flowers inhabit different all three Acts, but their locations change. This is what the game records when interacting with a “new” flower. Interacting with the same flower repeatedly will not trigger the achievement.

Act 1

• Feverfew in the Convent Garden
• Cinquefoil in the Convent Garden
• Woundwort in the Convent Garden
• Columbine in the Meadow
• Irises in the Meadow
• Snowdrops in the Meadow
• Woundwort in North Town

Act 2

• Wildflowers in the Meadow
• Cinquefoil in the Meadow
• Thyme in the Forest
• Wonderwort in North Town
• Thyme in the Meadow
• Feverfew in the Convent Garden
• Cinquefoil in the Convent Garden
• Woundwort in the Convent Garden

Act 3

• Camomille by Saint Maritz’s statue in the Forest
• Horehound by the Coal Smokers and Vacslav’s tent
• Mugwort by the Convent Garden
• Anise in the Meadow
• Violets in the Meadow
• Anise by the Alban Bakery
• Horehound in the Forest

Pentiment is available now on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.

Are you wondering what background you should choose in Pentiment? You will pick new backgrounds during every Act. This background will determine your knowledge in certain areas, affecting your ability to interact with objects like flowers and pets and hold conversations with NPCs. If you play Pentiment again, you will realize how each background works in tandem with the different choices of the game. Some, however, are more useful than others, depending on what type of playthrough you are looking for. Here is everything you need to know about choosing a background.

What Background Should You Choose in Pentiment?

Your chosen backgrounds will influence the available dialogue choices, how you can interact with certain items like books, and the overall story in the game. You cannot change your chosen backgrounds, so make 100% certain you are happy with your choices. I will provide you with my thoughts on the usefulness of each background, but this shouldn’t be the final word. Depending on how you want the story to progress and what you think is most important is what matters.

Act 1

After leaving Gertner’s house, you will pick your first set of background options in your first interaction with Big Jorg.

You need to pick where you spent your Wanderjahre:

• Basel: I found this background to be the least useful of the three, but it will still work if you pick it.
• Flanders: I was able to use Flanders to understand a decent amount of the game. You can understand several translations in a couple of languages.
• Italy: I found this to be the most useful location for your Wanderjahre. Since Tassing is located in the Roman Empire, it has the most use with the various residents and visitors.

You need to pick what your hobbies during Wanderjhre were:

• Hedonist: If you want to flirt with the residents of Tassing and see some wickedly funny moments with the nuns at the abbey, I would suggest picking this background.
• Craftsman: Craftsman lets you analyze the different works of art and structures in the game. It opens up some good dialogue choices since art is another main theme of Pentiment.
• Bookworm: This background helps you connect with the more royal NPCs and some of the abbey folks. Most of the peasants do not know how to read, though.
• Rapscallion: This is another background to pick if you want to see some funny moments in the game. You can get yourself into trouble with it as well.
• Businessman: I didn’t see many positives or negatives with this background.

While traveling to the Scriptorium, you will pick your second set of backgrounds during your talk with Baron Lorenz.

You need to pick what you studied during university:

• Theology: This background helps you relate to all of the residents since religion is such a huge theme of the game.
• Imperial Law: I found this background didn’t help as much as you would think and caused more annoyance with NPCs.
• Medicine: This opens up a lot of dialogue choices but doesn’t change much of the story.

You need to pick your two favorite subjects during university:

• Latinist: This background helps you understand and read different books, sayings, and paintings
• Logician: The background helps you understand complex puzzles and topics throughout the game.
• Orator: The Orator background helps the most with dialogue checks as most NPCs respect it and will give a big positive boost towards passing.
• Occultist: This is one of my favorites because it unlocks some great flavor to the game, though it is wholly unnecessary.
• Heavens and Earth: This is the best background I found during my playthroughs. It allows you to solve the Volvelle puzzle in one go and has the most positive dialogue results.

I found the following background choices for Act 1 the most beneficial:

• Italy
• Bookworm
• Latinist
• Heavens and Earth

Act 2

You will pick one background that details how you spent the last seven years away from Tassing.

The country you did all of your work in is:

• Poland
• England
• France
• Aragon

Your choice of country provides you with more language knowledge. Act 2 has several options for speaking with visitors and investigating the murder. I’ve found that England and France were the two most beneficial.

Act 3

You will pick your last three backgrounds at the start of Act 3 while talking to the twins.

You need to pick your specialty is:

• Polyglot: You will be a jack of all trades and a master of none regarding your ability to read different languages. You will need to make certain choices to get help from others if this is chosen.
• Volksbucher: You will be able to relate more to the townsfolk of Tassing, which plays an important part in Act 3.
• Reformation:

You need to pick your personality traits:

• Barbs: I found this put up too many walls with NPCs, then broke down.
• Flirt: This is another flavor background. Without spoiling too much of the story, you can flirt and have funny moments with the other half of Tassing’s population.
• Haggle: this is by far the second most useful background, as I could unlock a handful of dialogue checks and achievements using it.
• Snoop: With being a murder mystery, I thought snooping would be a good background, but Act 3 isn’t so much about investigating as the other Acts.

You need to pick your skills:

• Tinker: I thought this background would be cooler than what it ended up being. It has its uses, but there are alternatives, so it is unnecessary.
• Domestics: You will struggle with your purpose during Act 3, and this will determine what path you will go down.
• Bookkeeping: This helps with some dialogue options but is the least useful of the three options overall.

I found the following background choices for Act 3 the most beneficial:

• Polyglot
• Haggle
• Domestics

Pentiment is available on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.

Ship of Fools is advertised as a “seafaring cooperative roguelite.” But, did you know that you can play Ship of Fools single player? In order to have maximum fun in Ship of Fools, it is recommended to play multiplayer, but it isn’t required. Here is how to play single player in Ship of Fools.

How to Play Ship of Fools Single Player

To reiterate, Ship of Fools is playable solo. You don’t need a companion to enjoy everything Ship of Fools has to offer. If you decide to brave the Aquapolypse alone, you’ll have an automated Sentry Cannon. You’ll need to reload it and manually move it if necessary, but it will shoot enemies on its own with precision and reliability.

How to Play Ship of Fools Online Co-Op

Though you can play Ship of Fools by yourself, the game really sings when you are playing with a friend. Luckily, you can play Ship of Fools online on any platform.

If you are on PC, you can play Ship of Fools online via Steam’s Remote Play Together. That means that only one person needs to buy the game. Once the person who has the game boots it up, all they need to do is right-click the game in their library, click Remote Play Together, and choose a friend. Once the friend accepts, they can both play Ship of Fools online with no problems.

How to Play Ship of Fools Couch Co-Op

Last but not least, you can play couch co-op in Ship of Fools. That means that two people can play Ship of Fools locally on the same console and screen.

To do this, simply start the game and have both players press start. Choose your Fool and your good to go! It’s great seeing games still support couch co-op because it is one of the funnest ways to experience video games.

And those are all of the ways you can enjoy Ship of Fools. Remember, the game comes out on November 22, 2022 on basically every console. Grab your copy and fight back the Aquapocolypse alone or with a buddy.

Ship of Fools will be available November 22, 2022, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

Ship of Fools is the first video game from Fika Productions. The game is getting published through Team17, the publishers of indie gems like the Overcooked series, What the Golf?, Blasphemous, and much more. Many are excited for the roguelite ship adventure, but what platforms will Ship of Fools be on?

What Platforms Is Ship of Fools On?

Ship of Fools will be playable on Nintendo Switch, current-gen consoles, and PC. That means if you own a PlayStation 4 or an Xbox One, you can’t play Ship of Fools. But, if you own a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S, you can play Ship of Fools. This seafaring romp will be available on practically every platform.

When Ship of Fools launches, which will be on November 22, 2022, almost all players no matter the platform will be able to play this game. Unfortunately, last-gen console players are out of luck. Ship of Fools is looking to be a great game for all levels of players. Whether you are new to gaming or are a roguelite veteran, Ship of Fools will be the perfect co-op game.

If you have secured a Steam Deck, you’ll be happy to know that Ship of Fools looks to run well on Steam Deck, too. Since Ship of Fools is available on PC via Steam, you can purchase the game there and play it on your Steam Deck.

Though the official price of the game has yet to be revealed, since it is an indie game, we imagine it won’t be too high. Regardless of price, Ship of Fools looks to deliver a great co-op experience. With online games increasing and couch co-op disappearing, we love to see a brand new game have couch co-op.

Stay up to date on all things Ship of Fools by sticking with Attack of the Fanboy. While we wait for more news, you can play a demo of Ship of Fools for free now on PC via Steam.

Ship of Fools will be available November 22, 2022, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

For the latest Need For Speed entry, it seems that its new visual style isn’t the only thing to look out for. Alongside a fresh coat of paint, the next thing a vehicle needs is the proper soundtrack to set the mood just right. And, it looks like Need For Speed Unbound is bringing the talent, front and center.

Alongside A$AP Rocky portraying a character in this title, it seems like he is helping out with bringing a killer soundtrack to the newest title in this long-running franchise. Injecting a shot of nitrous into our veins, gamers have plenty to look forward to as this title comes closer to release.

All Songs On The Need For Speed Unbound Soundtrack

With plenty of familiar faces and some newcomers, players will have an overwhelming amount of tracks to listen to while they cruise around Lakeshore with friends in their favorite vehicles. With more tracks than most games, you’ll be sure to find something that piques your interest as you find out who made the cut for the soundtrack for this hotly anticipated racer.

Now that you know what tracks will be blaring as you race down the freeway, making sure your avatar matches the vibes of your favorite car and favorite tracks will be key. Gamers confused about which version to pre-order to get the most bang for their buck can rest easy unless you happen to be playing on a last-generation console.

Need For Speed Unbound will be released on December 2, 2022, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Among the wide array of sub-bosses you will find in God of War Ragnarok, very few are as fun as Fiske, one of Odin’s officials as well as one of the bosses of the game’s The Reckoning chapter. But how can you beat the knight? Now, in order to help you defeat Fiske and continue through the main story of the game, here’s how to defeat Fiske in God of War Ragnarok.

How to Defeat Fiske in God of War Ragnarok

Overall, Fiske’s moveset is composed of a forward empaling dash, which is then followed by a series of fast strikes, a downward unblockable strike, two wide swings, as well as a special downward swing, which must be shield broken. He will also make use of a series of fast thrusts followed by an unblockable one when in low health. Fiske will also be able to use an AOE Bifrost attack, which you can avoid by dodging backward.

With that said, as Fiske’s main strength lies in his speed and wide swings, we recommend that you stay close to him, all while using the Leviathan Axe to do as much damage as possible and focusing on parrying all of his strikes. Given his low buildup, you will be able to deplete his health bar by a lot by dashing or positioning yourself behind him after a successful striking attempt.

We do not recommend players to press R3 after stunning him for the first time, as, like all of his kind in the game, doing so will cause Fiske to become immune to stun for the rest of the fight. So make sure to resist the desire to do so, at least in the first quarter of the battle.

You can currently play God of War Ragnarok exclusively on both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.

In God of War Ragnarok, among the wide array of bosses available. players can also test out their might against a series of special bosses, called The Berserkers, which are the Ragnarok equivalent to the Valkyries seen on its predecessor. Now, in order to help you defeat all of the Berserkers, here’s how to defeat Fraekni The Zealous in God of War Ragnarok.

How to Defeat Freakni The Zealous in God of War Ragnarok

Probably the first Berserker players will find in God of War Ragnarok, Fraekni has a simple but highly effective moveset, composed of a series of normal swings, an unblockable downward swing, a jumping guard-breaking attack, and an unblockable dash, capable of killing players in one hit on most cases (Give Me God of War). Apart from the Red reticle dash, all attacks or variants of it seem to be shared by the other Berserks in the game.

Given the boss’ attacks, we recommend that you take on an aggressive but on-your-toes approach, focused on attacking as much as possible. Overall, our strategy during the whole fight will be to parry everything, and only perform dodges or dodge rolls in order to avoid unblockable attacks. All while also using your companion for extra damage or stun.

How to Avoid Fraekni The Zealous’ Dash

You will be able to avoid the killing dash by performing a simple dodge to the side so keep your head cool and just rinse and repeat until the boss is dead.

Extra Tips for Give Me God of War

For those facing the boss on Give Me God of War, we highly advise you to use your Rage in order to nullify the killing strikes. Using the Lunda Armor set is also recommended in this scenario. You can check out a few other tips for those playing on the difficulty in our tips and tricks article.

You can currently play God of War Ragnarok exclusively on both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.
