The Arcane Pickaxe in The Forge is a powerful pickaxe hidden behind a secret door with a padlock in World 1. Considering it's found in World 1 it has immensely powerful stats and it's one of the best pickaxes in the game. Here's how to find the Arcane Pickaxe in The Forge. How to Find the Arcane Pickaxe in The Forge The Arcane Pickaxe is locked behind a secret padlock door in World 1's cave that you can only access by completing the Bard's Guitar quest first. This is because the Bard's Guitar quest rewards us with the Unknown Key used to unlock the pickaxe. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to get the Arcane Pickaxe in The Forge: Talk to the Bard at his campfire near Moro and accept his quest to find his lost guitar.Follow our Bard's Guitar quest guide to find the guitar.Bring the guitar back to the Bard to complete the quest and get the Unknown Key as a reward.With the key, go into the World 1 cave and follow the video below to reach the locked gate and unlock it with the key by pressing E near the padlock.Go inside to claim the Arcane Pickaxe. Video by Destructoid The Arcane Pickaxe will be waiting for you behind the gate and you can unlock it by interacting with it and paying gold. It costs 125,000 gold to unlock it so you'll have to progress and farm some gold before you get it. I recommend just following the main questline to World 2 and finishing quests as well as claiming all the Index entries for new ores, monsters and crafted items. Once you have enough you can go back to the Arcane Pickaxe and buy it. The door will remain unlocked.

Destiny 2 is in a quite frankly woeful spot. Its current The Edge of Fate expansion has been a complete bust, resulting in Bungie's space game's player count dwindling to record lows; a point I never thought it'd reach following the excellent The Final Shape. It's now turning to the dark side with the upcoming Renegades, but I'm worried that an ostensible over-reliance on its Star Wars-y elements will result in D2 compromising its own identity. If this fresh Destiny 3 leak has substance to it, though, then a new hope may be on its way. Read the rest of the story...

Kojima Productions’ PS5 exclusive, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, has been rated for PC by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB). On the Beach was released for PlayStation 5 in June of this year, and a PC version has not been announced. However, news of a port would come as little surprise, considering the original Death Stranding was brought to PC less than a year after its PlayStation debut. Notably, the ESRB rating for Death Stranding 2 PC lists Sony Interactive Entertainment as the publisher of the port. Previously, Death Stranding’s other platform versions were handled by 505 Games.

I have reviewed phones in the POCO line before, and they have always been impressive, but none have been as impressive to me as the POCO F8 Pro.

The Hardships of Seafaring is the first set of quests you can complete in Of Ash and Steel, and some of the tasks can be pretty tricky. Thanks to its gameplay design, you can't use a map to complete the tasks of The Hardships of Seafaring. The tasks teach you the basic gameplay, while also revealing a pivotal point in the plot. This guide will help you complete all the tasks so that you can begin Act 1 as quickly as possible. Table of contentsOf Ash and Steel The Hardships of Seafaring WalkthroughProvisions in DangerBreak TimeFish SteakWhat Use is a CartographerOf Ash and Steel The Hardships of Seafaring Walkthrough The quests in the starting Shores region can be broken down into several tasks. These are all separate tasks, but you'll have to complete them all to gain access to the first act. Provisions in DangerBreak TimeFish SteakWhat Use is a Cartographer The order of the tasks can be different based on with whom you interact first. Provisions in Danger To get the task done, go left from where Sirdar is standing in front of you. Reach the shoreline, and you'll find Chump sitting by the boat. Speak with him, and he will ask you to kill three bugs. The bugs are located on the lane that goes from the shoreline (where Chump is sitting) to the healer. Screenshot by Destructoid The first pest will be by the first tent behind Chump (screenshot above). The second one will be near where a path goes uphill to the right and a soldier is blocking it, and the third usually roams in front of the medical camp. Just walk and kill them to complete this task. Break Time Go straight from where Sirdar is standing, and turn left. Speak with Squid sitting by the shoreline, and he will send you to Emmett (the Physician). Go straight from Squid's location, and you'll find Emmett in the medical camp. While you need to find Rutmane, Emmett will declare he doesn't have any. Screenshot by Destructoid The next part of the quest involves finding Brandy. The Brandy is located in a chest by the boat where Chump is sitting. The chest has three Brandy, and you can give one of them to Emmett. Return to Squid and inform him that Emmett doesn't have the tobacco. Speak with Rower, and he will tell you that he had stolen something and threw it on a rock. Screenshot by Destructoid The item in discussion is an Armor Reinforcing Kit. You can find it quite easily. Take the latter on the opposite side of the Medical Camp, and climb all the way up. Jump the ledges as required, and you'll come across the kit. Take it back to Emmett and ask if he has lost it. He will ask you where you found it. You can choose option one to maintain peace, or two to make Emmett fight with Rower. Screenshot by Destructoid Once you return the Armor Reinforcing Kit, you'll get a Rutmane from Emmett. Take it back to Squid to complete this task. Fish Steak You'll encounter a guy named Fish on the path to finding the Brandy. Speak with him to get the Fish Steak quest, which requires you to find some kind of stick. Go and speak with Chump and ask if he has some sort of weapon. Chump will offer him his false leg (not kidding), and he was serious. Screenshot by Destructoid Once you get the Pirate's leg, return to Fish. Complete the friendly spar, and it will complete the quest. What Use is a Cartographer Screenshot by Destructoid This task is activated by speaking with Sirdar once you have completed the Provisions in Danger quest. You'll have to talk to Murray, who can be found beside the Medical Camp. Complete a set of dialogs, and reach the shoreline where Chump keeps sitting. Talk with Gellert about what he has to say, and it will complete the quest.
