A new 20-minute gameplay demo for upcoming open-world RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker suggests that developer Rebel Wolves has the magic touch to incorporate the best thing about The Witcher 3. The mere idea of a new game from former CD Projekt Red devs that worked on The Witcher series and Cyberpunk 2077 is enough to perk up my ears, but while that legacy is valuable, the proof doesn't come until the final product arrives. Fortunately, this extended demonstration of The Blood of Dawnwalker's dynamic and reactive quest system is exactly what I was hoping to see. Read the rest of the story...

If you are a beginner and you only have access to Rares , the best ones would be Goko and Luffo . If you are an experienced player, you should not bother with the Rares and Epics and go straight for a Mythic like Gojo , who is insanely powerful, but hard to play.

Mushrooms in PEAK come in different shapes and sizes, and it becomes important for you to distinguish the poisonous types from the harmless ones. You will find these items frequently along the SHORE, and they come in four types. Each type, however, has a poisonous variant (barring the one with a thick stalk if the players are to be believed, and I haven't encountered one either). While eating these mushrooms will help you manage hunger, consuming the toxic ones will get you poisoned. Thankfully, there's an easy way to tell which ones are safe to eat and which can give you a poisoned status. How to identify poisonous mushrooms in PEAK While all three types, apart from the thicker kind, aka Chubby, can have poisonous variants, you can tell the difference by how they appear. I have attached images of how each of the non-poisonous variants looks. If you can find a mushroom that's similar to the following appearance, you're safe. Below are pictures of non-poisonous mushrooms for those who want to know what to look for. Bugle: The poisonous variant has webbing where the stalk meets the leaf-like structures. The webbings are pretty well-defined, making it easy for you to identify the poisonous ones. The poisonous variant also has a slightly lighter shade in comparison to the normal ones. Screenshot by Destructoid Button: It's the easiest to identify as the safe ones, with an 'X mark on the top and circular shapes. Do note that the poisonous variant will also have spots, so it's better to check them out from the top. Screenshot by Destructoid Clusters: Like the first kind, Cluster shrooms will have frills on their stalk if they're of the poisonous type. Non-poisonout will have smooth stalks. Screenshot by Destructoid Chubby: Chubby doesn't appear to have a poisonous variant at all, so it's a pretty safe one to pick and consume. Screenshot by Destructoid Mushrooms are a great way to reduce hunger, especially in the SHORE region. Just be careful about not consuming the poisonous kind, as it will apply eight to eleven stacks of poison. If you repeat this with a few toxic shrooms, you'll lose your life and end your round prematurely. Additionally, consuming all four types of mushrooms on a single run (all four have to be non-toxic) will complete the Mycology Patch achievement. You'll be rewarded with a Mushroom cap for your efforts. While you'll have to be careful about not consuming a poisonous variant, it will also boil down to luck (as you'll have to find four different types of mushrooms on your run).
