Passing the hunt “Explosive silica”
How to start a quest
The task is available in the bone lowland through the Wish wall. After its adoption, you have to go down to the backbone, where the silicon lives. Their location is initially hidden, so you will have to navigate in the wake.
Tracking mechanics
instead of the usual marks on the map, you need to look for the litter of silica. Interacting with him, you can catch the trace. This trace indicates the direction to the goal, but disappears after some time. If you have lost your way, return to the last bunch of litter and click “Follow” Again to continue the hunt. The gif below is an example of a similar process.
Location of silica
1. The left edge of the skeleton, next to the bone lowland
The first silicon is closer to the bone lowland. He hides on a ledge on the left, holding onto the upper part of the cliff. To get it, strike from the bottom or side, knocking it down to start the battle.
2. Upper backbone, above an abandoned building
The second silicon can be found in the very top zone of the region. It is hidden above the destroyed building, you can get there only through a bypass route with platforming elements. If you have already saved a flea in this area, focus on the same point – Killenguk sits on the stones nearby.
3. The right edge of the skeleton, next to the flowers and the boss anta-chaser
The third silicon lives in the eastern part of the skeleton, not far from the red floral vines. This area is also notable for the fact that the boss is a melse-cherep is nearby, so be careful. To facilitate the path, activate the shortcut with the platform mechanism located above the prison complex.
