Bringing three new towns, two new provinces and a load of new monsters, you can begin by taking the Desperado-East Bridge that was previously occupied by a Hooper Sister (please keep all hands and monsters inside the vehicle at all times!).
Additionally, a new feature has been added, Monster Riding! This is just for fun (but does boost your top travel speed by 12.5% !) and can be accessed by having your monster rest like when you feed or talk to it and hitting 3, adding this to the monster action select (like sitting and scouting) is on the way (with any luck later this weekend) so you don't have to press yet another key. As you can imagine, making monsters rideable in a game with this large a roster using pixelart is no small endeavor and ended up being quite a bit more complex than I first anticipated, but I knew it would add to the immersion and fun of travelling with your monster companions.
Curious if you can ride your favorite monster? Check this list of currently rideable monsters:
Primigon
Raptor
Brutus
Myrkrsormr
Stega
Echelk
Tanukrook
Stamlanche
Gualop
Drangus
Traumata
Trove
Gigadrile
Just a simple feature, but can be pretty fun when you're out in the wilds with your monster bro.
I hope you enjoy the second third of Crown Island, get familiar with these towns now because later in the story you'll be revisiting them - and learning what dark secrets lie within!
As you may recall, your next destination after rescuing Dad was to visit King Dania (check your map!), so in this content pack you'll meet her and honor her request, afterwards, you get a ticket to access the Duchess's Garden, which will be made available in a future content pack. Along the way you'll encounter a lot of great monsters and lore, I can't wait to see what you create :)
I've received a few complaints regarding control issues that really soured people's experiences. It seems the vast majority of people are playing without issue, but we have some potential controller issues, they may be specific to the PS4 controller. If you are one of the ones that experienced this please know that I'll be doing a lot of PS4 controller testing this weekend and if you have any details to share on your experiences, my ears are always open.
Have fun in Content Pack 3 and join us on discord to share what you find and create!: https://discord.gg/WwRvm9B
Thanks for all your support!
