Solve Data Altar of Sacred Analysis (First Galvanic Hymn)- Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader

by
data altar of sacred analysis

Exploring in Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader leads you to puzzles, and solving them gives you valuable stuff. Data Altar of Sacred Analysis is one such puzzle.  In the Mechanicus Temple, you will stumble upon Electrodynamic Cenobium, where you will need to solve the riddle to open a chest that gives you some useful stuff for your journey.  Here, you will be asked to perform the correct prayer so that the riddle gets solved and you get the rewards. What you actually have to do is recite the right First Galvanic Hymn for the solution. If your guesses have been wrong all this time, then hang on, follow the steps below to get it solved quickly.  Solve Data Altar of Sacred Analysis (First Galvanic Hymn) With Right Prayer If you want to solve Data Altar of Sacred Analysis, all you need to do is choose the right options from the choices given in the puzzle.  If you have got the clues already, then it’s not a big deal to pick the right ones. But if you haven’t, then guessing might not work because it will take a lot of time, and you might still not be successful in guessing the right prayer.  And if you really wanna get the clues and do it on your own, then I would suggest you look for the first clue on the west side of the cenobium, there will be some boxes stacked up that will require athletics to bypass. There is a panel behind the boxes that gives you a hint.  The rest of the hints are hard to get, especially for beginners, because they require knowledge of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. So, that’s for the clues. Now, here’s the correct sequence of the prayer for those of you who don’t wanna find the clues.  As soon as you pick these options, your prayer will be accepted, and the chest will open, which gives you the rewards.  Rewards from the Chest at Data Altar of Sacred Analysis The rewards from this chest are pretty neat, I mean, you will get some great items that will help you along the way. Here’s what you will be getting:  Arc-Rife and Pinpointing Visor are two exceptional items that go in your inventory, while the rest of the items go into cargo. The Arc Rifle is a perfect weapon if you want to target multiple enemies at once. Whereas the Pinpoint Visor gives you an advantage when targeting enemies with wounds less than 50%, you will have an additional 15% critical hit rate.  So, that’s how you open the equipment chest by using the correct prayer at the Data Altar of Sacred Analysis. It’s not that important to solve this riddle if you have already got the items in this chest. However, if you don’t have these items on you, then you should definitely grab them.

Palia Proof of Magic Quest – Full Walkthrough & Evidence Locations

by
palia proof of magic quest

Proof of Magic is a sidequest in Palia, which Caleri and Elouisa assign at the beginning of the Silver-Winging It Quest. Along with that, you will also get the quest It Takes a Village – Caleri.  Now, let’s focus on Proof of Magic. You have to find out the 8 pieces of evidence in this quest, 4 for Caleri and 4 for Elouisa. It can be a bit challenging to find all of them since they are scattered around at different spots on the floating islands.   It was hard for me, too, at first, but with some effort and exploration on each island, I finally found all of them. And now I’m sharing the exact spots for this evidence.  Palia Proof of Magic – All Evidence Locations During the Proof of Magic quest in Palia, you will have a lot of spots to explore and uncover hidden areas. You will need to stay attentive while exploring those floating islands and gliding through the gusts of wind.  The evidence is hidden in different spots on floating islands like Bug Island, Fish Island, and Main Island.  Let’s begin with Caleri’s Evidence locations:  Silverwing Study 399 Evidence Location This is found on the Bug Island. You will have to find the orange tree and stump, which will be on the lower side of the flowstone portal. Once you spot the Orange Tree, look for it on the edge of a huge stone.  Silverwing Study 411 Evidence Location This is found on the main island’s backside of the flowgate. Look for a tree stump here. Once you have spotted it, go and grab this evidence from the inside of the stump.  Silverwing Study 425 Evidence Location  This evidence is on the Bug Island. For this, you will need to go to the upper section. Look for the ladders on the left side and climb them. Once you are up, on your right, find the rubble at the corner and look for the evidence right on the stones.  Silverwing Study 450 Evidence Location  This one will be on the main island. Look for that huge building and head towards it. Just climb up the staircase and close to its main door, there will be the evidence on the left side, right on the stairs.  Now, let’s jump to Elouisa’s Evidence locations:  Silverwing Study 125 Evidence Location  This evidence is on Fish Island. Once you are on the island, just head towards the ruins area by crossing the gap. Here, you will find the evidence on some of the rubble.  Silverwing Study 380 Evidence Location  This one is also on the same Fish Island. It is found close to the highest fish pond on Fish Island. You will need to climb up and head to the Cloudminnow Pond on top. Once there, search for it close to the big fish symbol. The evidence will be on the bench.  Silverwing Study 487 Evidence Location This evidence is found on the Bug Island. Climb up and reach the windmill, you will see gusts of wind around a tower, use these gusts to reach the higher level. Drop at the top level, where you will see some symbols. Now, get to the edge of this tower, and you will see the evidence.  Silverwing Study 500 Evidence Location  This evidence is found on the final island. You can see the rotating objects from the nest area, all you need to do is use the gusts of wind and boost yourself towards it.  While in the air, keep your direction towards the lower level of that island and on the left side. Upon reaching this point, you will find the evidence on the huge stone.  So, these are the locations for evidence in Palia Proof of Magic Quest. Since this is a sidequest from the main quest Silver-Winging It, you will need to speak to Caleri and Elouisa at the end to finish the quest. Also, check out our guide on Palia Hunger Pains Quest.

Palia Silver-Winging It & Special Donations Quest Full Guide – Temple of Gales

by

Silver-Winging It is quite a long quest in Palia, consisting of several steps that must be completed in the right sequence. This actually involves a full walkthrough of the Temple of Gales, which then finishes the quest at the end.  It’s obvious for most of the players to find it challenging while attempting to complete the quest. But don’t worry, I have covered the entire quest step by step. You can follow these steps to finish the Silver-Winging It quest in Palia.  Palia has many other main quests, such as Your Order is Served and many others. But for now, in this guide, we are solving Silver Winging It. So, let’s dive in. How to Solve the Palia Silver-Winging It & Special Donations Quest  This entire quest, Temple of the Gale and Silver-Winging It is based on multiple side quests that must be cleared to progress in Silver-Winging It and finally finishing it as well.  Silver-Winging It is a main quest that will be assigned by Zeki once you have completed the quest Look to the Sky. It’s not like the rest of the quests, such as Found Item Quest Hunger Pains.  This is a long quest that requires effort to finish.  Entering the Temple & Starting the Quest To enter the Temple of Gales, you need to travel to Bahari Bay and head South of Windy Ruins. Here you can enter the temple.  At the temple, you will meet Caleri, Elouisa, and Zeki. They have quests for you. Speaking to Zeki will initiate the quest Special Donations, and interacting with Caleri or Elousia will begin the quest Proof of Magic.  Now, step through the platform and fix the Flowstone Gate as per the request of Zeki. Once it gets activated, interact to travel through it. Now, you will have an egg door puzzle in front of you. This needs to be solved to open the gate.  Solving the Egg Puzzle Door in Palia Right in front of you, there will be three pillars, each one has an egg it. Also, there are specific symbols on each pillar. All you need to do is place each egg on its corresponding symbol to solve the puzzle.  Now, if you have been unable to guess the right positions, then follow this. Starting from the left, place red, blue, and green eggs in a sequence. This will solve the puzzle, and the gate will open.  Head through the door and follow the passage to reach the floating island.  The Four Floating Islands Now, once you use your glider and reach the floating island, you will see that the mysterious island is divided into four floating islands.  You can explore each island to finish off the side quests, Proof of Magic, and Special Donations.  For the Special Donations quest, you need to find the required items to complete the quest, and similarly, for the Proof of Magic, you will need to collect Silverwing Study 125 and Silverwing Study 399. Four tablets for Caleri and four tablets for Elouisa must be collected. Starting off from the Main Island, collect the required items for Special Donations and for the Proof of Magic as well. The Temple Island, Fish Island, and Bug Island also need to be explored to get all of the items for both quests.  Pro Tip: When you are moving across the floating islands, you will notice the gusts of wind. These are your best friends when you want to quickly move from one spot to another. Use them efficiently to reach the next spot with your glider. Main Island Temple Island is blocked for now, so start off from the main island and explore it. Find the first item, Ancient Wine Barrel. You can find it at the top of the island within the building at one of its corners.  Now, from the same room, look out on the ground and you will see an item on the ground. It is Ancient Symbols Plaques, the second item for Zeki’s quest.  While on the main island, you will notice a huge curved arch and next to it, a small floating island. Get on that island and grab the third treasure item for Zeki, the Golden Egg. On this main island, there are three Silverwing Eggs scattered around. While exploring the island, look for them and grab all of them. Now, it’s time to head to Fish Island.  Fish Island Now, on Fish Island, you can find the rest of the Silverwing Eggs and Silverwing Study 125, which is the evidence for Elouisa and a requirement of the side quest Proof of Magic.  Additionally, you have to collect the fourth item for Zeki’s quest from this island. To get the Ancient Miniature Airship, move towards the southwest area from the flowgate. Keep following the path and reach the climbing ramp.  Now, look for the rocks on your right side and climb them. Finally, get around the tower and look for the Ancient Miniature Airship on the ledge.  On this island, you will have six Silverwing Eggs to collect. Make sure to explore the entire island until you find all six of them. Next up is Bug Island.  Bug Island Once you are on the Bug Island, just explore the island and grab the last Silverwing Egg, and you can head back to the main island. But before you go back, you can choose to finish another side quest, which will be given by Elouisa.  However, it’s not necessary to attempt this side quest. So, you may directly head to the main island in order to unlock Temple Island.  Temple Island Once you have travelled back from the flowstone gate of the bug island, rejoin your squad and place the Silverwing Eggs in the nest. Doing so will spawn a gust of wind, and you can use it to reach the final island.  Now, it’s time to grab the remaining treasure items for Zeki. Golden Ancient Fish can be found inside the tower here. Head … Read more

palia hunger pains

Hunger Pains is a Found Item Quest in Palia. It’s a bit challenging to begin the quest since there is no specific clue that points out the initiating spot.  You need to solve this thing on your own after Auni mentions the stolen blueberries from a cave. If you are stuck at this point, then don’t worry, as I was too, finding it hard to begin the quest.  Palia has multiple other Found Item Quests as well, such as Lost in the Wind. But, in this guide, I have covered all the steps to solve the Hunger Pains Quest in Palia.  How to Solve Hunger Pains Quest in Palia Palia has so many interesting quests, some of them are main quests, such as Silver-Winging It, some are side quests, such as Proof of Magic, while others are item found quests like this Hunger Pains. This is quite a mysterious and fun quest in Palia, you have to find out who is actually stealing the blueberries and what does it wants from you to complete the quest. But first, you need to kick-start the Palia Hunger Pains Quest. For this purpose, blueberries need to be dropped at a specific spot. The quest technically takes place when Auni meets you and mentions that blueberries are mysteriously disappearing from a cave, and he really doesn’t know who is behind it. So, to catch the thief and to find out who it is you are gonna put the blueberries just outside the door of Night Sky Temple. Get to that area and you will see a specific spot, interact with it, and drop the blueberry from your inventory. Now, all you need to do is wait for the letter from the mysterious creature. Once you have dropped the blueberry, the letter will arrive in your mail. Here’s what that letter reads: “Dear (Player), Hello, friend. Thank you for bringing me tasties to fill the hole inside my belly. I sad because the more I eats, the bigger my tummy hole gets. Lately, I been smelling tasties from the barn where the woolies and cluck clucks live. It smells like sweet and warm. Can you bring it to me? Maybe that will make my tummy hole small again. Mystery Blueberry Lover” Now, is the real part of this quest, you will be assigned a task. Find out which item has a tasty, sweet, and warm smell in the barn. You may explore the barn to complete this task, but it won’t help since there is no right item. So, let me just make it easier for you. Head directly to Delalia and speak to her, she will reveal that it is a freshly baked Blueberry Pie that she left out for her husband. At this point, the quest journal will be updated, and your next task is to bake the blueberry pie and drop it at the same spot where the blueberry was dropped. Baking Blueberry Pie To bake blueberry pie, you need to have obtained its recipe, have all of its ingredients, and the crafters as well. First off, get the recipe from the Cooking Guild Store if you have reached Cooking Level 6. This would cost you 1,500 Gold. After that, collect the following ingredients: And the required crafters: When you have all of this stuff, just follow the recipe in the game and obtain the baked blueberry pie from the oven. As you get the baked blueberry pie, head to the main door of Night Sky Temple and place the pie at the same spot where you placed the blueberry earlier. Now, it’s time to wait for the next letter from the mysterious blueberry lover. Once you get the letter, it will read: “Dear (Player), Thank you for the tasty, friend. It was the tastiest tasty I ever put in my tummy. Unfortunately, my tummy hole got big again…so please bring me no more tasties for now. I hope you like the gift I made you…there aren’t many tasties to find here, but I tried really hard. Mystery Blueberry Lover” There you have the Palia Hunger Pains quest solved. As a reward, you will get 10 Renown and a Mud Pie in your mail. There is a known bug with the spot where you left the blueberry pie. Even after finishing the task, the spot will reappear when you visit the place, but placing the pie again won’t reward you with anything. Also, don’t forget to check out our guide on the All in Order quest as well.

Crafting Boost OSRS (Old School RuneScape): Full Guide

by

Crafting Boost in OSRS is no doubt the best feature when it comes to taking your crafting game to the next level. Without crafting items you are pretty much halting your progress. So, it’s necessary to keep working on your crafting levels.  Aside from that, we have a crafting boost that gets activated temporarily by using various items. Now, if you are looking for details on these items then you are at the right place.  This guide covers all the important details that you should know. Let’s dive in! Crafting Boost Items in OSRS In Old School RuneScape we have a total of 4 items that give you a crafting boost, and they also give various other stats boosts.  Moreover, each one of them is obtained through a different method and has various requirements.  Crafting Cape The most powerful crafting boost item is Crafting Cape and it’s also hard to get. It’s because it only becomes available when you have reached level 99 crafting. We all know it’s quite challenging to reach that spot.  But, once you have done that, this Crafting Cape can be yours. It becomes available at the Crafting Guild, there will be an NPC Master Crafter who sells it for 99,000 coins.  As soon as you have got the Crafting Cape, you will be granted the boosts. As for the crafting, you have the option to perform unlimited teleports to the Crafting Guild.  Additionally, you will receive the defense stat boost. This will be different for trimmed and untrimmed versions of Crafting Cape.  Poison Chalice  Poison Chalice is a free-to-get crafting boost item. Just visit Stankers and get it from him. Drinking it will leave you with a random effect. Each effect has a different stat boost.  Although you will get a random effect this is all based on chance. The top 3 effects based on the chances are You feel a lot better, You feel a little strange, and It has a slight taste of apricot.  The first effect gives you healing of 15% of the total hitpoints and it also boosts your Thieving ability by 1. The second effect lowers attack, defense, and strength by 1 and boosts crafting by 1. The third effect has no boosts.  Mushroom Pie This is another crafting boost item that also gives you a healing boost. It is the second-highest crafting boost item in OSRS. Consuming it will heal 16 hitpoints and you will also recieve a temporary crafting boost of 4.  Now, to get this Mushroom Pie, you will need to prepare it at the Cooking Range. But you should have level 60 Cooking on you.  Once you have access to Cooking Range, just bake the Uncooked Mushroom Pie and you will have Mushroom Pie that can be consumed.  Spicy Stew (Orange Spice) Spicy Stew is the fourth and last crafting boost item in OSRS. This can be obtained by only those who have finished Freeing Evil Dave subquest in Recipe for Disaster.  To prepare a Spicy Stew you will need to get the regular stew and spices. Now, do remember that each of the spice boosts different skills.  For crafting boost, you will need to use Orange Spice with regular stew. Also, using the Spicy Stew doesn’t guarantee a boost. You can either get an increase or decrease in level by +5 to -5. It’s a totally random thing.  FAQs What Can Boost Crafting OSRS? There are a total of four items that can be obtained and used to boost crafting in OSRS. Each item is obtained through a different method and has a different level of boosting.  The best-boosting item is Mushroom Pie followed by Crafting Cape and Poison Chalice. And the last item is Spicy Stew. We have explained these items above in detail.  What Spice Boosts Crafting in OSRS? It’s the Orange Spice that can boost the crafting in OSRS along with other skills. But, you know it’s quite random that you get the boost. Sometimes you may get a decrease in level.  It is not guaranteed that you will receive a boost every time, it is totally random and you can receive it anywhere between +5 to -5. 

BG3 Ambush the Convoy: Should you Really Do it?

by

During the Quest Follow the Convoy, a group will ambush the convoy and you will have two choices either to protect the convoy or team up with the group and defeat the convoy.  This is where most of the players get confused because they are not aware of the consequences. That’s why I have explained in this guide what could be the consequences of each of these choices.  Keep on reading to find out everything about it.  BG3 Ambush the Convoy Walkthrough & Possible Outcomes Making your way through the Mountain Pass at the end of Act 1 will take you to a group that is looking for a true soul.  When you reach there, they would assume that you are the True Soul who can summon their guide and hence lead the group.  Here, you should have the Spider’s Lyre because that’s what would allow you to spawn the guide. Now, you must have obtained this previously and there are multiple ways to do that.  There will be an Orc known as Kansif, he asks whether you have Spider’s Lyre. Here, you are going to use it in order to spawn the guide.  Bonus Tip: If you don’t have the Spider’s Lyre, Illithid Powers can be used to summon the guide.  Soon after, a guide would appear whose name is Kar’niss. He has a lantern and we all know what’s that, it’s a Moonlantern.  He would lead you to the Moonrise Towers under the light of Moonlatern. Just make sure to stay away from the shadows at all times.  While moving along, you will reach a point where the convoy will stop and Kar’niss will mention that he doesn’t feel right. And he will ask that whoever is there show themselves.  And as he feared, a group of harpers will appear. This is the point where you have the option to either protect the convoy or ambush the convoy by teaming up with harpers. Consequences of Both Options Now, since we all wanna know what would actually happen if we Ambush the Convoy then let’s see that first.  As soon as you betray the convoy and side with the harpers, you will have to finish the convoy, and then the harpers will ask you to visit the Last Light Inn. Moreover, the Moonlantern which Kar’niss had will be taken by the harpers.  Now, you must visit the Last Light Inn and meet Jaheria. Upon meeting her, you must gain her trust to get access to the upper floor where you will have to speak to Cleric Isobel.  Now, with Moonlantern in your hands, you can advance towards the Moonrise Towers while keeping yourself safe from the shadow.  There will be a bit of inconvenience for you when reaching the towers. The guards must be convinced in a manner that they believe you are true souls. Once you successfully do that, the access to area will be granted.  Now, here is what would happen if you protect the convoy from harpers ambush. Protecting the convoy will result in advancing towards the Moonrise Towers without any issues.  Since Kar’niss has the Moonlantern, he would lead the way after you have wiped out the ambush group. And you won’t be interrogated by the guards at the entrance. By following this path you will end up straight into the Moonrise Towers area.  That’s all the information for this guide.

Upon passing it with a critical success, apparently, there won’t be any difference but trust me this would help you out in the final battle with Elder Brain.  What this option actually does is it will put a debuff on Elder Brain called Against all Odds. It will take away it’s health by 20%. So, in the final battle, it will be a lot easier to defeat him.  As soon as you choose this option, you will be presented with the DC 99 Check.

Dominate the Brain is actually an option that you get while confronting the Elden Brain in the first stance. It won’t let you dominate the brain at that point instead it will put a debuff on it which will prove to be a great move for the final battle.  What Happens if You Fail to Dominate the Brain in BG3? No worries, if you fail at dominating it then you will simply be transferred to the Astral Prism by the Emperor. Even if you choose any other option, the outcome will be the same.  However, Dominate the Brain option can put a debuff on the Elder Brain if you successfully pass the DC 99 Check.  So, that’ everything regarding the Dominate the Brain guide in Baldur’s Gate 3.

how to stop astarion from ascending

Astarion will have an ascension part in the Act 3 at the Cazador’s Palace. Here, you will have a series of options to choose from. Each option will have a different impact on his personality.  If you want to stop him from ascending then this guide is for you. I have covered how you can do that and also discussed the rest of the options and their consequences.  Stopping Astarion from Ascending Astarion is a vampire spawn and he has been living a life of a slave under Cazador. Meeting Cazador during Act 3 will take Astarion to perform the ascension.  But, here he will ask you to help him out in the ascension process. This is where you will have a series of choices including stopping him from ascension.  Here’s how you can do that.  Persuade Astarion This option is to Persuade Astarrion to Stop Ascension. You will have to go through a DC18 Persuasion Check. And those who are romancing him will have an advantage. They can use the DC 20 Insight with an advantage and after that a lowered DC 15 Persuasion Check.  Once you have passed the checks, Astarion will finish Cazador and won’t leave your party. This is the best option to stop him from ascending and keeping him from leaving your party.  Choosing this option will make Astarion become a good person and he will be happy with your decision. This will also make him realize that becoming a Vampire Ascendant would have caused so much trouble for him. He will be thankful to you for helping him out.  Refuse to Help Him  This is another option to stop him from ascending but choosing this will result in Astarion’s drop from your party. So, choose wisely.  During the conversation scene, you can choose the option “I’m not doing this”. Doing so will make Astarion finish off Cazador and he will also leave your party.  It doesn’t matter if you were romancing with him or not, he will leave the party for the rest of the game.  So, these are the two main options from all four to stop Astarion from ascending. He will be happy with the first option that we have discussed above but to be honest, you will be missing out on some great powers of Astarion that can only be achieved by letting him become a Vampire Ascendant.  Helping Astarion Become Vampire Ascendant If you choose to help Astarion become a Vampire Ascendant he will have some of the most powerful skills for the rest of your journey.  If you agree to help Asatarion with this then he will sacrifice Cazador, all the spawns, and even his siblings.  After that, he will have the following changes.  FAQs How do I Convince Astarion to Not Ascend? By keeping Astarion from Ascending, you are missing out on some new features that Astarion will get such as Ascendant Bite and Misty Escape.  However, if you still want to do it then go for the Persuasion Check. If you are romancing then you will have an advantage on this check otherwise, you will have to perform a DC 18 Persuasion Check.

You must have already collected all the 60 Rainbow Conches and defeated the Fleshmancer’s Lieutenant.  Lighting up all the 7 pillars on the Moorland Ruins is essential. This involves various tasks which are actually the part of main storyline and also the True Ending. Here is the list:  Once you have done all of it by completing the tasks linked to True Ending, you can visit the campsite where you must talk to Garl Twice and he will give you the Hook of Time.  Using Hook of Time to Obtain Glided Invitation  After getting the Hook of Time, you can use it to fish on an island with the “???” in the southern area. This will get you the Glided Invitation for Golden Pelican.  So, with the Hook of Time head to the fish-shaped island with the “???”. Jump into the fishing spot and look for the shiny object in the water. Use the Hook of Time to pull it out, this will bring out a secret cave entrance.  Enter the cave and take down all the enemies, on the north side there will be a locked door. Now, head towards the southwest and dive into the water. Look for the whirlpool, and use it to go to the other side.  Here, you will end up in a room with a chest. Loot the chest to get the Fishing Dungeon Key. Grab the key and go back to that locked door. Unlock it and you will be in a pool area with fish in it.  You need to catch that glowing golden-colored fish, either use the hook or jump in and catch it with your hands. Grab the key from the fish and head towards the north side using the stairs.  Clear the area from enemies and keep on moving towards the north until you end up in a room with a pool. This exact pool has a huge fish in there, take out your fishing rod and catch that fish. It might be a bit harder but you have to catch it.  As soon as you catch the fish a scene will be played and you will eventually get the Gilded Invitation for Golden Pelican.  FAQs How to Use Hook of Time in Sea of Stars?
