Fate of the Prophets is one of the more advanced side quests you can complete in Windrose. The recommended player level is 14, so you'll have to do a fair bit of in-game grind to gain access to the quest. Let's look at how to solve all the tasks of this quest in Windrose. Windrose Fate of the Prophets quest walkthrough The crux of the quest is about exploring the ancient observatories. Stargazer Tower (First Stargazer)Ancient ObservatoryWarlord's death site Travel to the Stargazer Tower (position will have a marker) and reach its inner sanctum. You'll have to solve the puzzle to open the secret room. Head inside and interact with the Observatory Stele to find out what happened with the first Stargazer. Image via Kraken Express The second one is in an ancient observatory that's located southeast of the Stargazer Tower. Follow the marker, and clear all enemies you can find in the area. Solve the puzzle, and reach the inner sanctum. Interact with the second Observatory Stele to find out what happened to the second Stargazer. Follow the marker and head north to find another observatory. The basic ritual is the same: kill the enemies, head to the inner sanctum, and interact with the Observatory Stele to find out what happened with the third Stargazer. Image via Kraken Express Finally, travel to the warlord's death site, but there won't be anything to note. Instead, you'll need to defeat Chick Chan. It's not the hardest of bosses, but it has a massive health pool. Hence, you'll inevitably take damage from its attacks. Just stock some healing items, and you should be good to go. Once Chick Chan is defeated, it will end Fate of the Prophets, and you'll get the following rewards. 10 Tumbaga Ingot The post How to complete Fate of the Prophets in Windrose appeared first on Destructoid.

Crusader Kings 3 is getting a new core expansion, By God Alone, and it's going to add playable popes to the Paradox strategy game alongside other new gameplay mechanics to let players influence the church. "For the first time in the Crusader Kings franchise, we're also introducing playable theocracies, allowing you to rise to the power of the Pope himself," said Mikael Andersson, lead designer on the expansion. "By God Alone extends your options of how to engage with your Christian faith and the church behind it. It gives you more strategic options for how to deal with this institution, as well as dealing with other rulers of the same faith as you." By God Alone will arrive in Q3 of this year as a paid expansion, so you've plenty of time to figure out how to wield the word of god to your strategic advantage. "In this core expansion, we're fleshing out the Christian church to make the institution itself feel like a living entity," Andersson said during a video reveal for the expansion. "We're revising the way the church collects taxes to make it more obvious how taxation from temple holdings are being collected and allow the player to direct it to some extent. During the time span of Crusader Kings 3, the Christian faith went through a lot of upheaval. To represent this, we're introducing rites, local variations of practice that the player can interact with." The reveal video also talked about another core expansion, Silk & Silver, which will allow players to live that Middle Ages merchant life, establishing trade routes and undercutting their business rivals. There's also a free update dropping today, which adds "age-related ailments" for older characters and a new system for personal character-bound Stories within the game. Crusader Kings 3 is a strategy game where you play through whole dynasties with plenty of drama, marriages, and feuds. Both expansions will add yet more depth to an already rich set of mechanics in the game that IGN's review called "a new king of historical strategy" when it was released in 2022.

Windrose is an adventure where you can play with your friends, but you're never truly alone. You'll have six charismatic NPCs to find on your journey in the early access version, and they all have different uses. All six of them perform important roles, but first, let's figure out how you can find and recruit them. How to recruit all NPCs in Windrose In Windrose, some NPCs are introduced naturally as part of different quests. For the rest, you'll need to complete a few extra steps. The table below has all the important information you'll need to recruit these NPCs, along with their respective professions. NameProfessionHow to recruitGalen SkeltonWorkerHe is part of the tutorial quest How My Shore Adventure Began. Once you complete the quest, he will be automatically added as a companion. John DoeYou have to first save him by defeating Israel Hands as part of the Needle in a Haystack quest. Then, John will appear at your base, and you can recruit him by completing your conversation. Jasper CroweYou will find Jasper near the Buccaneer provisioner. To hire him, you'll need to pay 500 Piastre. Jasper has a 30% chance to recover resources when you spend them to upgrade an item. ****** AxelYou can find ****** at the People of Tortuga base. You can hire him for 500 Piastre, and he has a 30% chance to craft an extra potion. Rosalinda MercerRosalinda can be found at the Brethren Camp in Tortuga. Like others, you'll need to spend 500 Piastre. Rosalinda doubles clay bottle production and offers a 30% chance to craft an extra elixir among other bonuses. Mortar JoeLocated at the Brethren of Coast's base, you can hire Mortar for 500 Piastre. He will increase your Gunpowder production by 50%. Since Windrose is in early access, there's always a chance for the game to add more NPCs down the line as new quests are introduced to the game. Once that happens, we will duly update the table with the new information. The post All Windrose NPCs and how to recruit them appeared first on Destructoid. View the full article
