Wadi Rum (Valley of the Moon) lies in the far south of Jordan, set on a high plateau at the western edge of the Arabian desert. Stone Age petroglyphs and a continuing nomadic presence offer a rare window into humanity’s earliest beginnings.
#A TALE IN THE DESERT GUIDE PATCH#
When you see the blood moon warning, make sure you get back to town immediately, and get geared up and healed for a long night of combat in your village.Reason for Designation: Jordan’s red-rock wilderness is an extraordinary patch of desert biome. A blood moon means the approaching night is going to be tough, because the Helthings attacking your village during a blood moon will be especially powerful. You can probably tell from the name that it's not a good thing.

Beware the blood moonĮvery few nights you'll receive a warning that the blood moon is rising. The quest board is located in the north of the village, just to the right of where the village healer is standing. Quests provide quest fragments, a reward needed to unlock the lair of the final boss, so check the board for quests every so often and get them done while you're out exploring. In fact, you'll need to complete a few if you want to succeed. There you'll find quests you can undertake in the world. With so much going on, it's easy to miss an important feature of your village: the quest board. So make sure you have everything you need crafted before night falls, or you may have to wait until morning and the monsters are all dealt with. If your NPCs take too much damage, they'll be incapacitated and you'll need to revive them.

If you desperately need to craft a health potion or a new weapon, you'll have to wait until the Helthing threat is dealt with and the NPCs return to their crafting stations. While your NPCs are fighting, they won't do anything else. They'll jump in and fight the monsters alongside you. The good news is, your village NPCs won't just stand around watching. Your NPCs fight monsters, which is good and badĮach night, Helthings spawn outside your village and march in to attack your tree. And putting items in the chest means you won't lose them when you die. In co-op, it's a good way to share resources with your fellow Vikings, too. Each time you visit your village, dump your haul (select Place All) in the huge war chest located on the east side of the village, near the repair bench.Īnything in the war chest can be used by village NPCs for crafting-you don't need to have the resources in your personal inventory for them to be used.

(Though, pleasantly, you'll keep your weapons and gear when you die.) So you don't want your inventory to be jam packed with resources in case you get killed. When you're killed out in the world, you'll drop your resources where your body falls and you'll have to travel back to collect them. You can kite enemies around and have them knock down trees while they're chasing you. And some enemies do damage to the environment while they're attacking or chasing you, particularly the bigger ones like ogres. Swinging a sword with a normal attack won't damage trees, but your alternate attacks will (by right-clicking). But there are other ways to chop down trees in a pinch. If you're out gathering wood by chopping down trees and your axe breaks, you should get back to your village to repair it or craft a new one. There's more than one way to chop down a tree If you see what looks like lots of small rocks in a river, that indicates you can cross the water at that spot. It's pretty funny! Even the mightiest giants have to walk around water, rather than through it. I've seen plenty of monsters rolling to dodge my attacks and winding up killing themselves in the water.
#A TALE IN THE DESERT GUIDE PLUS#
On the plus side, monsters can't swim, either. Luckily you're prevented by an invisible barrier from running straight into the water and drowning, but you can enter the water accidentally by rolling, such as if you're dodging attacks or rolling off clifftops. Your Viking, unfortunately, can't swim (and there are no Viking ships), so treat that water like lava because it'll instantly kill you. You can't swim-but monsters can't eitherĪs you uncover more of the map, you'll find rivers and beaches and the large bodies of water surrounding the continent. The shrine in your village is already activated, so you can use it to travel to any other shrine you've activated in the world, and there's no limit or cooldown on how often you can use shrines. Then you just need to click on another active shrine to be teleported to it. Pressing F on an activated shrine will open your map. Activating it won't actually make you fast travel, it'll just unlock that shrine as a fast-travel location you (and any other players you're playing with) can use whenever you want.
