Securing the Alchemist NPC proves vital for settlement development, offering access to craftable potions for magic spells and specialized gear to enhance your progression through the game.
Ancient Spire Navigation Strategy
Begin your journey at the peak of the Ancient Spire tower. Glide northwest while maintaining altitude, monitoring your stamina gauge. If depleted, pause at safe ledges to restore energy before continuing aerial navigation.
Vault Positioning Tactics
The Ancient Vault’s layout makes it an excellent base location due to surrounding resource nodes. Upgrading your Altar to its highest tier establishes a persistent teleportation marker, with vault placement depending on your preferred tactical approach for resource management efficiency.
Perimeter Security Protocol
The vault complex features elevated loot container frequency compared to standard camps. Scavenge materials like metals while navigating defensive placements. Exercise increased caution around volatile objects, employing evasive rolls when triggered. Watch for concealed chests containing rare arcane implements within tent structures.
Interior Combat Maneuvers
After securing exterior grounds, ascend via stone staircases to confront elevated threats. Deploy explosive barrels as area-denial tools against clustered hostiles. Locate the partially concealed doorway requiring keen observation, then eliminate tunnel defenders using stealth takedowns and ranged suppression tactics.
Subterranean Loot Acquisition
Descend to subterranean chambers before final ascent, collecting secondary treasures including incendiary explosives. Activate chest mechanisms cautiously to bypass pressure-sensitive spike traps – time your movements between spike retractions to safely claim rewards.
Final Ascent Procedure
Utilize either ascending pathway to reach upper chambers, proceeding through interconnected passage networks until reaching the central arena. Neutralize respawning opposition forces before advancing to the containment zone.
NPC Extraction Protocol
Interact with the imprisoned Alchemist to complete the liberation objective. This acquisition grants access to advanced alchemy crafting options, significantly enhancing resource processing capabilities. Return to settlement hubs via established shrine markers to utilize new manufacturing systems.
