Trollhunters Rise of the Titans Ending Explained – What Happened to Toby?
If you wonder what happened to Jim and Toby at the end, we have the Trollhunters Rise of the Titans ending explained, shedding some light on Jim's decision and Kronisphere's power.
Last night, the latest entry from DreamWorks on the Trollhunters series brought the whole universe to an and, which might then continue in a different way.
- CHECK THIS OUT: God of War's Secret Box Art Location Has Fans Puzzled
If you are not familiar with the Trollhunters franchise, we suggest you watching the Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia, 3Below, and Wizards series before beginning to watch Trollhunters Rise of the Titans. The first three series were created by Guillermo Del Toro, while the Rise of the Titans movie has been directed by Johane Matte, Francisco Ruiz Velasco, and Andrew Schmidt.
Trollhunters Rise of the Titans Ending Explained
Before beginning to explain the ending, please note that the next paragraphs contain heavy spoilers. Do not read if you have not watched the movie yet.
What Happened to Jim and Toby?
Soon after the Bellroc's Titan dies and heroes start celebrating their victory and Steve's pregnancy, it seems like a member of the heroes is missing. Jim realizes Toby's absence and searches around to eventually find him breathing his last breath.
After Toby's death, Jim, who has both Excalibur and Kronisphere, finds out that the latter is an ability to prevent a lot of bad experiences they had gone through from happening. As a result, Jim decides to bring Toby back to life and change his fate.
Jim says goodbye to all heroes and goes back in time to the day that he found the amulet. This time around, Jim allows Toby to find the amulet in the remains of Kanjigar.
The movie actually puts an end to Jim's journey and introduces Toby as the next promising Trollhunter in the universe, but only if there would be a sequel or spin-off to the series.

Pokemon GO Ultra Unlock Part 1 Details – How to Get Shiny Cranidos & Shieldon
During this year's massive fifth anniversary Pokemon GO Fest, Niantic released a range of Ultra Unlock challenges for players to complete.
There were 24 different challenges, culminating in three different rewards – Part 1, time, Part 2, space and Part 3, which is still yet to be confirmed but will likely involve Hoopa.
The first of the rewards kicks off tomorrow and includes the release of some very exciting new Shiny Pokemon.
Two of those are Craindos and Shieldon – here's how you can give yourself the best shot of getting them!
Ultra Unlock Part 1 Details Including New Shiny Pokemon
The first part of the Ultra Unlock rewards kick off on Friday, July 23 at 10 am local time, running until Friday, August 6, once again, finishing at 10 am local time.
There will be a total of four new Shiny Pokemon that players can catch – they are as follows:
- Shieldon
- Cranidos
- Unown U
- Dialga
Alongside those, in the wild, eggs and raids, there will be plenty of other Pokemon that can also be shiny. They are:
- Aerodactyl
- Magneton
- Porygon2
- Bronzor
- Klink
- Omanyte
- Kabuto
- Lileep
- Anortih
- Voltorb
- Porygon
- Baltoy
What do Shiny Cranidos and Shieldon Look Like?
To ensure you know what you're looking for, we thought we'd give you an idea of their colours.
Of the two, Cranidos is the easier to spot, shedding its usual blue colours for something in between red and pink.
Shieldon is a bit more subtle, but you can definitely still notice the difference, losing its steely-grey colour for a deep blue.
You can check out the embedded tweet below for a visual of the Pokemon.
How to Get Shiny Cranidos and/or Shieldon
As always, there is no hard and fast way to guarantee the Pokemon, however, there are certainly a few things you can do to increase your chances.
Raid
Probably the main way to guarantee encounters with Shieldon/Cranidos and therefore increasing your chances of finding their Shiny Forms is by raiding.
The duo will be appearing in One-Star Raids for the duration of the event and will be easy to beat solo! You're going to want to bring Fighting and Ground-type Pokemon to Shieldon Raids and Fighting, Grass, Ground, Steel or Water-types to Cranidos Raids.
If you're struggling for raids, check out local discord chats or the Pokemon GO Raids subreddit.
Explore
Both Cranidos and Shieldon will be appearing more frequently in the wild during this event, so, the more you get out and about, the more you will encounter and thus, the more likely you are to find a Shiny.
It's also worth popping an incense and some lures to really maximise the amount of Pokemon you'll encounter.
7KM Eggs
If you're going to be walking around then be sure to stock up on 7KM Eggs as both of the Pokemon will be available from them.
You can get the 7KM Eggs from gifts sent to you by friends.
Timed Research
Niantic has also confirmed that there will be some Timed Research during the Ultra Unlock Part 1 event which will give players the "chance to earn encounters with certain event-themed Pokémon!"
It's likely these Pokemon will include Cranidos and Shieldon and therefore, it will certainly pay to complete them.

Genshin Impact – How To Unlock Empty Boat Of A Thousand Gates
There is a new secret underwater domain that needs to be unlocked by completing Empty Boat Of A Thousand Gates in Genshin Impact 2.0.
Like all other quests in Genshin Impact, this one is also a bit tricky and requires you to solve puzzles. This is why we have summarized all the steps you need to know to unlock Empty Boat Of A Thousand Gates.
- MORE: Genshin Impact – How To Complete A Strange Story In Konda Quest
Empty Boat Of A Thousand Gates – Secret Underwater Domain Unlock
First of all, you need to head to this area on the map at Araumi, Narukami Island:
Then you need to light the 4 Electro towers scattered in the area (refer to images). For lighting up the fourth Electro tower, you need to solve a puzzle by shooting the top row of cubes in the order: left-middle-middle-left)
Next, you need to activate the machine (image below) to open up the bottom of the tower that is right behind it. Climb down this tower and unlock the chest there.
After this point, you're going to need the Memento lens to proceed so make sure you get it first.
Use the Memento Lens on each of the three statues inside the tower and it will unlock 3 buttons (click on them) and a hole will open up below. After jumping into the hole you need to turn left and swim until you reach the stairs. There you will see a bunch of floating stones puzzle (as shown in the image below). To solve the puzzle hit the stones in this order: 4312144 and it'll unlock a chest and also lower the water level near the hole.
Now do down the stairs to the circular door, open it, and keep walking until you find the Teleport Waypoint at the end. You will find another locked device and a puzzle that can be solved by stepping on the platform. The idea is to walk on all the tiles without stepping on them twice. Just keep on walking on all the tiles on the platform until they start glowing.
Doing so will open another door that contains the last puzzle. This one is just like the previous one you did, so just repeat the same method, and you'll unlock the domain.
And that's it, the Empty Boat Of A Thousand Gates will open and you will be able to enter this underwater domain in Genshin Impact 2.0.

Genshin Impact 2.1 – Raiden Shogun, Sara, Kokomi Banners Release Date Estimate Officially Revealed
miHoYo officially revealed on Twitter new artwork and profiles for Raiden Shogun, Kujou Sara, and Sangonomiya Kokomi, confirming the three characters will be released through the gacha banners of Genshin Impact Version 2.1.
- INAZUMA – How to find and destroy the barrier
Character Demo – "Kamisato Ayaka: Camellia in Winter Snow" | Genshin Impact
In the past, via Twitter, miHoYo introduced Kamisato Ayaka, Yoimiya and Sayu ahead of the 2.0 sneak peek Livestream. And all three characters were later confirmed on the livestream. Kamisato Ayaka's banner is ongoing, while Yoimiya will be the second banner of 2.0.
This is part of miHoYo's new and commendable strategy to officially reveal characters before they leak. Now that all three characters showed up on Twitter, this officially confirms the Raiden Shogun, Kujou Sara, and Sangonomiya Kokomi will be playable in 2.1.
Genshin Impact 2.1 – Release date estimates for the Raiden Shogun, Kujou Sara, Sangonomiya Kokomi
We're talking about a release date "estimate" as we don't know yet whether the Sangonomiya Kokomi banner or the Raiden Shogun banner will come first. Kujou Sara should be a four-star character featured in one of the two banners.
If the six-week time span between each update stays in place, Genshin Impact 2.1 will launch on September 1, 2021. Either Sangonomiya Kokomi or the Raiden Shogun will launch on September 1, and the other character will be launching three weeks later on September 25-26.

The Raiden Shogun and her weapon type
Note that no weapon type was listed on Twitter for the Raiden Shogun, and it's still up to speculation. Personally speaking, I believe the fact that she's seen whipping out a sword out of her own body, both in her artwork and in trailers, is bait. My bet is that this sword is linked to one of her abilities, reflected through her Elemental Skill or Burst, but is different from her Normal Weapon.
Furthermore, I'm pleased to see miHoYo now realizes the importance of showing and advertising characters ahead of release. Instead of letting leakers do the job, this is the best way to prevent the player base from relying on leaks. Looks like we'll keep getting official character confirmations like these for each update now.
In any case, we'll know more about the Raiden Shogun's kit soon with the usual data mined leaks. What do you think of Inazuma so far? You can always hit me up on Twitter @A_iyane07 to share your impressions.
