PCGamesN Saturday, May 13, 2023 4:56 PM Want to know what the best Diablo 4 Druid build is? Much like the Necromancer, the Diablo 4 open beta this weekend gives players their first chance to get their grubby paws on the Druid class. They are a bestial class with dominion over the elements and spirit animals that join their cause. If all else fails, though, they can always shift into a Werebeast and tear their demonic foes to shreds. Of all the classes, they're perhaps the most underused, but Diablo 4 makes an effort to make them appealing. To stand a chance against the forces of evil, you'll need to make the best Diablo 4 Druid build. So far, we've seen only datamined information regarding the Druid's many options for weapons, armour, and skills which will be available in the full game. The Diablo 4 Druid class skills can go in several directions, with wolves, ravens, and even plant monsters among the companions on offer. Nature also governs the Druid's magic skills, with the best of them having domain over earth, wind, and lightning elements. The Diablo 4 Server Slam start time isn't far away, so this is the chance to try the Druid, including all of the balance updates, in advance of potentially one of the best PC games of 2023. Here are some pointers to send you in the right direction. Continue reading Best Diablo 4 Druid build MORE FROM PCGAMESN: Diablo 4 release date, Diablo 4 system requirements, Diablo 4 classes |

Some Honkai: Star Rail sidequests can involve both multiple steps and picking an answer to complete it. Typically, the stakes aren't too high. One of these questions comes up while going to complete the mission "A Teacher and a Friend" in Honkai: Star Rail, as you'll need to help Qingque find a certain manuscript while aiding Chengjie on the Xianzhou Luofu. It isn't difficult at all to pin it down, and most of the mission is fairly straightforward and involves fights against enemies and taking pictures at clearly marked spots. Editor's Note: There will be Honkai: Star Rail "A Teacher and a Friend" spoilers below.[gallery columns="1" size="full" ids="963137" link="file"] The "important" decisions come up right after meeting with Qingque and Chengjie Artisanship Commission. You'll be told where Master Ryan's manuscript will be. Once you reach the spot, there will be an option to choose who goes in to search. I sent Qingque to do it, and went uneventfully. (It's one of those famous HoYoVerse incidents of white text on a black screen explaining what happened.) Once Qingque comes back out, she'll place all of the manuscripts she found on a box. Investigate it, and you'll be able to read blurbs summarizing each one. One begins with the line, "This is a manuscript about the design of a type of starskiff, showcasing its structural finesse." This is Master Ryan's work. Select "That's the one!" You'll also get an IPC Designer Invite automatically before heading back. However, first there's a brief fight against standard enemies. The manuscript will be "damaged" after the fight. I told Qingque to be honest about what happened when we report in to Chengjie. Checking in with him leaves him depressed over the outcome. You can then go to Central Starskiff Haven with him in an attempt to cheer him up with food or a comedy show. Here's when the IPC Designer Invite comes up. You'll learn Master Ryan was going to join the IPC as a designer, rather than keep doing research, but stayed because of Chengjie. This causes him to realize he should finish the now-damaged manuscript and submit it in honor of his mentor's memory. Here's where the photography part comes up. To assist him in completing the manuscript, he wants to see where the starskiffs are grown. (Yes, they're actually basically plants in a way, which shocked me.) You'll head to Stargazer Navalia to head to designated spots on the map to take pictures of them in their germination, embryonic, nutritive, and forming phases, before finally taking a photo of Chengjie with a grown starskiff. Enemies tend to be around each one, which need to be beaten. Then, you need to press the camera button that appears on the screen, make sure the designated items are in the shot, and not move until it "takes." That said, the first part of the three-part Honkai: Star Rail "A Teacher and a Friend" is done. You get a Traveler's Guide, 25 Strale, 40 Stellar Jades, 250 Trailblaze EXP, and 15,000 Credits. Honkai: Star Rail is available for PCs and mobile devices, and PS4 and PS5 versions are in development.

In Monster Menu: The Scavenger's Cookbook, players face off against a roguelike dungeon-crawler with turn-based, strategic battles. However, there are no default characters. Like games like Etrian Odyssey, you're customizing your own crew. What shocked me though, after sampling the Monster Menu demo, is how cute the character creator really is. [caption id="attachment_962659" align="alignnone" width="1200"] To start with, there are eight base "characters" to choose when you begin the Monster Menu demo and enter its character creator. However, you're not really choosing a default avatar. What you're really doing is picking their outfit. Once you pick one of the eight options, each one lets you completely customize all other elements of the character. [caption id="attachment_962660" align="alignnone" width="1200"] Some of these are pretty typical. You set the person's name, then choose if their gender is male, female, or unknown. After that, you select their starting class. That influences initial equipment, skills, and stats. So your "healer" would be the Chef. If you want a challenge, you can go with a Jobless layabout with lower-than-usual stats. Typical options like Archer, Mage, Swordsman, and Thief appear as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdOwZ7iyLV4&ab_channel=NISAmerica But it's after that when I found playing around with the Monster Menu demo character really ended up being fun. There aren't a wide array of face, hair, and accessory options, for example. Like you may only get seven or eight possibilities. However, the bangs and back of a hairstyle are considered separate parts. You can adjust someone's height. You can alter the color of the outfit, hairstyle, and both left and right eyes. In addition to normal skintones, there are otherworldly ones too. Selecting a personality type alters the automatically generated biography on their status screen. None of these are tied to any specific initial character style or gender as well, allowing for quite a few possibilities. [caption id="attachment_962661" align="alignnone" width="1200"] But the part I had the most fun with is the Edit Pose section. Instead of just showing default character portraits based on your chosen variations, you get to adjust them. I felt like it was a way to inject a little extra personality into a game where you're creating self-inserted, blank slate characters. There are multiple poses, which change the character's body position, different facial expressions, and options to make it look like your character is, say, blushing or half-dead. Once you get a look you like, you can use the Mini Stats option to decide on your character portrait, Menu Screen for a slightly larger photo, Cut-in to show what they look like for a team attack, and Line of Vision to just focus on their eyes or a brief line. It surprised me with how charming it is. [caption id="attachment_962662" align="alignnone" width="1200"] The character creator we get to mess around with in the Monster Menu demo is not as intricate as the one in the Street Fighter 6 one, to be sure. But I still feel like it's a pleasant surprise when I hopped into it to check things out. There's a sense of variety here that I didn't expect, and it's quite fun to play around with to see how an explorer could look. Monster Menu: The Scavenger's Cookbook will come to the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 on May 23, 2023 in North America, May 26, 2023 in Europe, and June 2, 2023 in Australia, and a demo is available now.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Saturday, May 13, 2023 6:14 PM The Susuyai Shrine's a bit of an odd puzzle among the Shrines in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The first part is very straightforward and easy to identify by sight alone. But the last puzzle may not be as intuitive by sight alone and require some head scratching and trial and error. If you're not quite figuring it out for yourself, here's how to work the rail in Susuyai Shrine in Tears of the Kingdom.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Saturday, May 13, 2023 6:11 PM Unlocking the Great Fairy Fountains in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is no small feat.

Here's our guide on how to unlock the Great Fairy Mija in Tears of the Kingdom. How to unlock Great Fairy Mija in Tears of the Kingdom The first step to unlocking the Great Fairy Mija in Tears of the Kingdom is to activate the Potential Princess Sightings Side Adventure.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Saturday, May 13, 2023 6:10 PM World Bosses is one of the newest features in Diablo 4. For the ongoing Server Slam, you can expect to run into the World Boss Ashava numerous times throughout the weekend. This event is not for the faint of heart and requires many players, not just within your party but potentially within your realm. However, many players are reporting that they are getting bodied by Ashava during the Server Slam for Diablo 4. It seems even if you max out to level twenty quickly, you face the same issue.
