Aloha Thrivers!
This week we are talking about Dungeons!
As we mentioned last week the game map is huge with lots to explore, discover, and loot, but the dungeons are some of the most exciting places to find and offer players a good place to stock up on resources and grab some great gear.
Currently, our dungeons are open to all - meaning there’s a chance that you’ll run into other players. Whether you team up to take on the horrors inside or bide your time waiting for the perfect opportunity for an ambush is up to you. We plan to have some instanced dungeons down the road where you and/or a group can test your skills and grab some great loot without worrying about PVP as well.
We’re going to take a brief look at the 3 dungeons you can delve into in the game right now and do a deeper dive into The Sewers, The Lost Manimal Mine and Lawaiʻa Cavern later.
The Sewers
The sewers were the first place survivors of the Fracture hid and it was here that people found a safe shelter to regroup and plan to rebuild civilization until the mutants found them. The monsters have completely taken over turning the old network of tunnels and access rooms into a nightmare.
If you manage not to get lost in the maze of tunnels and survive the horrors around every turn you’ll eventually find yourself in the mutant overlord Big Bob’s “Luau Room” filled with roasting victims who didn’t make it and plenty of loot.
The Lost Manimal Mine
Rumored to hide a supply of Manimal so huge at the bottom that it could quench even the most extreme thirst for many lifetimes, the mines is one of the biggest dungeons. The upper levels have been overrun with mutants wandering around the remnants of a thriving mining operation.
As you go lower players will find evidence of a Manimal cult and of course more and more energy drinks as well as everything you need to survive the extreme new world above. Whether or not there really is a giant pool of Manimal at the bottom is something you’ll have to discover for yourself.
Note: This dungeon is not fully implemented yet, and players may only explore (and loot) the first area.
Lawaiʻa Cavern
Our oldest dungeon is a natural structure open to the outside at a breathtaking location and features a hidden entrance waiting to be discovered. Since it’s open to the outside many trapped animals can be found here hungry for whatever happens to wander down the tunnels.
There are plenty of mutants here too attracted by the large amount of 127 crystals that poke out of the walls. Make sure to bring a torch to make navigating the tunnels easier and get ready for a huge fight at the center of the caverns with a spiraling walkway that winds around a main room filled with hungry mutants and plenty of loot.
More to Come
These are the dungeons you’ll be able to explore at early access but we have plenty more places planned to put your survival skills to the test as we fill out the world.
