Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, November 24, 2025 11:33 AM  Arkane Lyon level designer and Thief: The Dark Project modder Romain Barrilliot is back with another fan creation - a Thief 2 castle heist Barrilliot calls "by far my most ambitious work in the Dark Engine to date", presumably including his previous group project The Black Parade, despite being "purely based on vibes". Called Reflections In Red, it's a sequel to Barrilliot's Winds Of Misfortune, though it works well as a standalone release. It's also based on a real-life castle so preposterous I have no choice but to immediately steal the deeds from what I assume is a heavily fortified bank vault inside a creepy mountain somewhere. |

Pocketpair confirmed a December 17, 2025 Home Sweet Home and Ultrakill Palworld update and again teased the 1.0 version arriving in 2026. A new trailer highlighted everything to expect in the immediate future. Also, the teaser only confirmed what we've known since September 2025, which is the game will leave early access next year.
Three types of cosmetic options are confirmed for the December 2025 update. The standard one lets you basically paint your bases. Pocketpair didn't confirm all of the elements that can be recolored, but we do see walls being painted. As for the other two, they will be two avatar skins based on Ultrakill. V1 and V2 suits will appear. The first footage shows the two suits from different angles and some of the unique elements tied to them.
Here's the Palworld Home Sweet Home update trailer that also focused on the Ultrakill cosmetics. The teaser for the 2026 1.0 update started at the 55 second mark. The end seems to show a trainer with some Pals approaching a new area.
Palworld is in early access for the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, its Home Sweet Home update debuts on December 17, 2025, and the 1.0 version launches in 2026.

When the 2.4 patch for Zenless Zone Zero appears, it won't include some voice acting from actors for major characters like Dialyn and Ye Shunshang and minor NPCs. HoYoVerse noted these will be absent, but didn't explain why. The company did say it will send out 100 Polychromes as an apology ahead of those eventually being added to the game.
HoYoVerse noted this voice acting issue in Zenless Zone Zero will apply to Dialyn, Ye Shunshang, and "certain NPCs" in three languages. The Chinese option won't be affected, but English, Japanese, and Korean ones will. The quest with the missing lines will be "On the Precipice of the Abyss." It also seems like the new character Banyue, who also debuts in 2.4, won't be affected.
This voice acting absence in Zenless Zone Zero could end up feeling greater for someone like Dialyn than Ye Shunshang, which is due to the fact that the latter isn't officially joining the roster as as a playable character until 2.5. This could also mean her role in the "On the Precipice of the Abyss" questline might not be as large.
You can hear more of Dialyn's English voice in a new Zenless Zone Zero character trailer. It features her judging a criminal.
Zenless Zone Zero is available for the PS5, Xbox Series X, PC, and mobile devices, and the 2.4 update arrives on November 26, 2025.

It's been a busy November for Hololive Vtuber Nerissa Ravencroft, what with her being part of the Twitch Holoday takeover event and celebrating her birthday on November 21, 2025. Not to mention her second anniversary with Cover was this year, and preparations for 2026 beginning. Siliconera got a chance to check in with her again to learn more about how things are going and what's next.
First, thanks for taking the time to talk to us again! It's been about a year, and last time we did you talked about releasing an original song and hitting 700k followers. How does it feel to be closing in on a million after your second year with Cover, and are you planning any sort of special marathon stream when you get closer to that 67,000 milestone?
Nerissa Ravencroft: It's my pleasure! Honestly, the idea of hitting 1 million subscribers is really exciting to me…! I have to keep working hard so more and more people can listen to my music and want to support me! Currently, I'm planning a lot of really exciting projects for new and old fans alike, so I hope everyone will keep their eyes peeled for the projects I'm working on.
You released your first EP called In My Feelings back in August 2024. Would you prefer to work on another EP next or dedicate yourself to a full album?
Nerissa Ravencroft: Getting to work on In My Feelings was a really new experience for me, since I'd only ever worked on and released singles in the past. Having to review and give feedback, write lyrics, and record so much at once was really exciting for me! Working on music is truly my happy place, so while I plan to keep producing original music no matter what, I'd really love to release a proper debut album. Regarding EP's specifically, I'm not sure I'll do another unless I have a really solid idea for one in the future.
You worked on two major, original duets with fellow hololive Vtubers in 2025, which were "100%" with Moona Hoshinova and "Over//Ride" with Mori Calliope. What was the experience like working on each one, and how does your preparation on a duet differ from when you're working on original solo tracks or covers?
Nerissa Ravencroft: Getting to work with senpai I admire so much, like both Moona and Calli, has been so incredible! I had never imagined I'd have an original duet with such wonderful diva's, so I can't help but feel extremely pleased. Since both "100%" and "OVER//RIDE" are technically Moona and Calli's songs respectively, the experience of working on it was more minimal compared to creating originals for myself. With my own projects, I'm very "hands-on", so I often have a clear vision in mind or give a lot of feedback, and since I tend towards doing the lyrics myself it can usually be fairly intensive emotionally. It was nice with both songs to sit back and just enjoy singing.
You got to be one of the Hololive and Holostars Vtubers taking part in the Twitch Holoday event! What did preparation for that look like, and how did you decide to take part?
Nerissa Ravencroft: As someone who has used both Twitch and YouTube as a viewer, seeing the way the chat integrated is very interesting to me. Both websites have their perks, and I know some people feel very strongly about one or the other. Since hololive streams mostly exclusively on YouTube, I know there's a lot of people who might love it, but haven't had a chance to get into it due to only wanting to use Twitch. I wanted to use the opportunity to introduce more Twitch users to the joys of hololive! Since my birthday is in November, we've been handling a lot of major preparations for that, but I hope Twitch users can enjoy all of the holotalents streams over on Twitch!
How do you feel streaming on Twitch compares to the YouTube experience for your personal streaming experiences and performances?
Nerissa Ravencroft: Personally, as a streamer, I feel like the differences aren't that large. Twitch offers some perks YouTube doesn't, and YouTube offers some perks Twitch doesn't, so it ultimately boils down to each streamer's personal preferences. When it comes to integrations, Twitch has a lot more, so it can feel a bit intimidating but they can really up the experience you get while watching a stream! I really hope YouTube will continue to expand it's options for streamers.
You also just celebrated your birthday event! Now that you're a seasoned Hololive Vtuber, how does the planning work for these and do you feel your approach changes compared to when you first started with Cover?
Nerissa Ravencroft: Even though I've been here well over 2 years now, it really passed by in the blink of an eye! No matter what, I want to continue to do my best to create exciting projects that resonate with my fans. I guess, if anything, I've maybe learned that it's okay to be a bit more picky, or to put my foot down if I'm not satisfied with something! I always want everything to be perfect, but when first starting I was very nervous to say no or that something wasn't to my liking, but I've become more confident in myself in the sense that, I'm happy I can be in a space where I'm comfortable enough to put my foot down and bluntly state my opinion!
Members of your family have come up on stream, and at the end of September 2025 your father made his debut! What kind of convincing and prep work went into that, and how did he feel about it? Think we'll see him again?
Nerissa Ravencroft: Surprisingly, not as much as you'd think! On my side, it was choosing questions, securing art rights from the incredible fan designers, and the usual behind the scene prep stuff. As for my father, I think he was more excited than anything! My whole family is supportive of me, and they're good sports about it when I invite them to be on my streams. It's a very happy occasion I think because we get to make a fun memory together that's immortalized. It does help that all of us are diva's in our own way, though~ I do hope to have them all on my stream again in the future, but it'll stay infrequent.
You recently did a lyre ASMR! How do you feel that went, and do you think we could see more performances?
Nerissa Ravencroft: It was really exciting! I've never been able to properly play an instrument before, aside from my voice. I'm still a beginner, but I'd like to continue to develop my ability so I can improve my natural musicality, note recognition, and potential upgrade to a harp! But, for now I'll be focused on lots of solo practice and learning songs I am familiar with. Once I master them and am very comfortable playing, I can hopefully find more uses for it! I hope my audience will enjoy watching me improve!
Since we're getting to the end of 2025, any thoughts on what your personal game of the year was?
Nerissa Ravencroft: This is a really difficult question to answer. I think what I like in a game is a bit different then some other gamers. I tend to prefer either horror or very slow, easy, slice-of-life farming simulator types. With that in mind, I very thoroughly enjoyed Silent Hill f! Even though I've already played through all five endings and watched countless breakdown videos, I'm still thinking a lot about the game. I'm super stoked that Ryukishi07, one of my favorite writers of all time, was able to write for a series that I love, such as Silent Hill. If I had more time, I'd have liked to play Blue Prince, Clair Obscur, and Hades II, as those were some games that I didn't get the chance to try but was interested in.
2026 will be your third year with Cover! What kinds of goals do you have set for next year?
Nerissa Ravencroft: I'm constantly working with Cover and my managers to make my big dreams into a reality! I don't wanna say anything and potentially spoil expectations if anything gets delayed, but I'd really love to release more of my own original music and covers, and will keep working hard with that goal in mind! I hope everyone will keep their eyes and ears peeled~!

ARC Raiders has plenty of resources and items to obtain, and some of them should be tracked at all times.
Resources have different uses. Some of them are great for recycling purposes, while others are required for upgrades. With so many resources to collect, it can be confusing to separate the important ones.
This guide will provide you with the names of resources that you should always track.
All items and resources to track in ARC Raiders
It's important to understand that the value of some resources will gradually decrease as you approach the endgame. The objective of this guide is to list the resources you'll always need. The importance might change based on your quests and missions, but you'll always want to collect them as much as possible.
The table below lists items you'll always need, along with short explanations for each.
Aside from the ones mentioned on the table above, there are a few more items you should always track. These resources might be basic, but you'll need a lot of them.
If you're yet to upgrade Scrappy to its max levels, you should always track the required resources. Upgrading Scrappy to level 5 will help you get more of all the basic resources without having to grind for them.

Call of Duty never ends. Once you roll credits on one feature, there's even more to come thanks to seasonal content.
Season one of Black Ops 7 is being called the "biggest season ever" in CoD, and judging by what Treyarch and Activision have already revealed about it, I'm inclined to agree. Whether it's weapons, maps, Zombies, Warzone, game modes, or even Endgame, there's something to look forward to not long after launch.
Here's everything we know so far about what's to come in season one of BO7.
Table of contents
When does Black Ops 7 season 1 start?
Black Ops 7 season one is set to begin on Dec. 4, according to Activision. Given past season upadates, season one of BO7 should go live on Thursday, Dec. 4 at around 11am CT.
Black Ops 7 season 1 countdown
The countdown timer below ends right when BO7 season one should begin.
Everything included in Black Ops 7 season 1
Seven weapons
The Maddox assault rifle, Crossbow, and Ballistic Knife are just some of the weapons already confirmed to be coming to players' arsenals in season one, with four more yet to be announced. Weapons will be available for free in the battle pass as well as unlockable with challenges in limited time events.
Seven multiplayer maps
In sticking with the game's theme, sevens are wild this season. Season one will include seven new and remastered maps, including BO2 classics Standoff and Meltdown, new maps called Fate, Utopia, and Odysseus, and one more.
New multiplayer modes
Sticks and Stones, the classic party mode from Black Ops 1, will make its return shortly after season one, along with Prop Hunt, holiday limited time modes, and more.
Three Zombies maps
A new round-based map, Astra Malorum, highlights season one, along with two new Survival maps from Ashes of the Damned POIs for Zombies gamers to enjoy.
New Zombies content
Light Mend, Mister Peeks, and Frost Blast are among the Zombies loadout equipment being added in season one. Treyarch also confirmed limited time Zombies modes for the holidays and later.
New Endgame content
Treyarch is tight-lipped about additional Endgame content so far, but Activision reps hinted at limited time modes and more coming as part of season one, including some very familiar boss enemies, and potentially more to come.
Warzone integration
BO7 content will be fully integrated into the free-to-play Warzone as part of season one, including the new Resurgence map Haven's Hollow and all of the weapons in the game.
Collaborations
In a now-deleted post by leaker @TheGhostofHope, they reported that season one will feature a collaboration with Bethesda's Fallout series. While Activision has said that BO7 will be "more grounded" in its design, some brand collabs will likely still take place.
This article will be updated with official information whenever it's announced by Activision and Treyarch.

To get things going, meet up with Snow White and chat with her to formulate a plan. She's planning an extra surprise for Tinker Bell, but needs your help to set it up. Start by seeking out Merlin to chat about the situation.
Gather the materials needed to craft the Pixie Furniture Set
Part of the surprise for Tinker Bell involves crafting a special Pixie Furniture Set for her. Before you can do so, though, you'll need to gather some key resources from all around Wishblossom Ranch, including:
Craft the Pixie Furniture Set
Now that you've got the resources you need, head to any crafting station to make the Pixie Furniture Set. Switch over to the Furniture tab to make one Floral Fairy Table and two Floral Fairy Benches.
Place the Pixie Furniture Set near Snow White's House
Locate Snow White's house wherever you previously chose to place it, open Furniture mode, click on the Tinker Bell icon, and place down one Floral Fairy Table and two Floral Fairy Benches. Be sure to put them fairly close to Snow White's home to progress.
Talk to Merlin
After placing the required items near Snow White's, wait for Merlin to show up. Depending on where he is when you complete this step, it might take a bit, but you need to have him meet you there to progress. Once he does arrive, chat with Merlin. He'll make you the Tiny Pixie Furniture Set you need, so you can now track down Snow White to give it to her.
Talk to Tinker Bell
It's been a bit since you've seen Tinker Bell, so head back into the Wishblossom Heart to chat with her. You can find the entrance to this hidden area through the stone archway sitting between the bridge that leads into Wishing Way and the one that leads over to Wishblossom Ranch.
Talk to Tigger
Tigger was in charge of gathering games for the party, but he never showed up with them. Tinker Bell asks you to talk to Tigger to see what happened and get the party planning festivities back on track.
Locate and dig out the party games in Pixie Flats and Sundae Shores
Tigger thought burying the games was the game, so you now need to locate and dig out the party games in the Pixie Acres region. There are two games to find, both of which need to be dug up using your Royal Shovel.
The quest objective tells you to look in Pixie Flats and Sundae Shores, but in my valley, I found both in the pathway that leads from Modish Marsh into Sundae Shores, where you previously entered this biome during the Bounce Up, Never Down quest.
The exact spawn location of the two games may vary for everyone, though, so be sure to check around both Pixie Flats and Sundae Shores to find yours. You're looking for a Bowling Set and a Board Game, both of which are sticking out of the dog spot, making them easy to spot from afar.
Enter the Wishblossom Heart
Now that you've got the games, it's officially time for the party to begin, so head back to the Wishblossom Heart to get the party started. Chat with Tinker Bell once you're inside to pass over the games you found.
She's finally ready to move into the valley as a proper villager, but first, she wants you to take a picture of her with the heart. Have another chat with Tinker Bell to show her the photo once you take it.
Decorate Pixie Acres
It's time to get Tinker Bell officially moved in by decorating Pixie Acres to suit her. Open Furniture mode and click on the Tinker Bell quest icon to place her house somewhere in this biome. There's also an optional objective to place three items with the cute and rustic tags around to decorate a bit more, but you can also skip this step entirely.
Since you built Tinker Bell's house yourself, there's no Star Coin fee you have to pay Scrooge McDuck for it. Instead, as soon as you place it, a cutscene will play as she's officially unlocked as a villager. Chat with Tinker Bell one more time after this to officially complete the Home Is Where the Heart Is quest.

ARC Raiders Week 5 Trials is now live, and there's plenty of quests to complete if you want to get three stars and max out your rewards.
Week 5 features five different tasks. Some of them are relatively easy, while the rest are difficult. This guide will provide you with all the key information required to complete them.
Table of contents
How to get three stars in ARC Raiders Week 5 trials
Here are the brief details of all five tasks.
Damage Rocketeers
There's no specific location to find a Rocketeer, and they're the most dangerous of all flying ARCs in ARC Raiders. However, the Testing and Annex Building is a great spot. The top floor is basically a bunker where the Rocketeer can't target you. You can fire at it from one side, and then move to the other direction.
This is precisely how I completed the Out of the Shadows quest in ARC Raiders, where we had to hunt down a Rocketeer. You can repeat the same strategy to get three stars for this task (While eliminating the Rocketeer isn't necessary, you'll need to do more damage to get three stars).
Download data during Hidden Bunker
This specific event goes live on the Spaceport map. The Hidden Bunker is located in the southern part of the map. We have a detailed guide on how to gain access ot the bunker, and then download the data. To complete the process, you can download the data across four different terminals (all located in the bunker itself).
Search First Wave Husks
Finding a First Wave Husk is pretty easy, as they appear on all four maps (barring Stella Montis). You'll have to watch out for circular debris of destroyed ARCs. The Old Battleground location on Dam Battlegrounds is a good spot, but there are plenty of other locations. You'll have to search multiple ones till you hit three stars.
Damage Snitches
Another task that's relatively easy to complete. Snitches tend to be found across all maps, but I encountered them the most on Blue Gate. Once you spot it, just shoot the ARC down (not necessary, but it helps you hit three stars quicker).
Damage ground-based ARC enemies
Target and damage any ARC enemy that's ground-based, and do so until you get all three tasks. Here's a list of all qualifying enemies:

The Internet is reeling from how Valve was totally going to announce Half-Life 3 on November 19, then on the 20th, then anytime now, but it hasn't, and chances are it won't for who knows how long. And you know what? Good.
If you're out of the loop, worry not. Valve did in no capacity even hint at an HL3 reveal, but the rumors of an impending HL3 reveal are at an all-time high, and the Internet is, now more than ever, flooded with nonsense. At best, this is just tiresome. At worst, this hurts everyone.
In the attention economy we currently live in, it's absolutely ludicrous to hope that everyone will know better than to spy on a company in the silliest ways possible to retrieve whatever sort of evidence that they're working on something. Still, how can fans defend looking so ill-advisedly into a company that has been so significantly harmed by similar behavior in the past?
Steam's policies towards what is ostensibly gambling are very damaging to the entire community, and I'm totally fine with people looking into that. Trying to spoil the existence of games, however, just greatly dampens the fun for everyone. Such behavior poisons the hype with the inevitable crash that comes every time we realize we'd fallen prey to false hope. Either that or, well, we become the gaming equivalent of QAnon believers who'll keep seeing definite clues everywhere in the hopes of avoiding coming to terms with a harsher truth.
Game reveals can be just the best thing
I'll never forget opening Gamespot to find out Valve had done a mega gameplay presentation of Half-Life 2 at E3 2003.
It remains my favorite presentation in gaming history. We could even hear the live "aaaw"s and "oooh"s of those in attendance. Valve released a high-res version of the demo for the 20th anniversary of Half-Life 2, if you want to witness its full glory.
That unmistakable awe forever imprinted on that video was made possible because, even though Half-Life 2 was expected, nobody knew exactly what shape it would take, and its reality was way beyond anyone's dreams. Sadly, this fantastic presentation would get overshadowed as Half-Life 2's source code would end up leaked, causing the game's development and promotional efforts to retreat temporarily and rethink the strategy for a year.
A more recent case was that of GTA 6, which also suffered a huge code leakage that got so many people to witness the game in a severely unfinished state, prompting many to claim the game would suck. That was a bizarre claim, but something you can understand from consumers who aren't well-versed in what the process of game development looks like.
GTA 6 certainly won't suck, but the gross leak certainly had killed part of the surprise by the time its fantastic first trailer hit:
One of the best parts of gaming might be over forever, and few have noticed
The press conferences from E3 2015 are known as some of the best in the event's history. That's because they revealed, among many others, Final Fantasy VII Remake and Shenmue 3. FFVII's case was similar to that of Half-Life 3, a game whose reveal had been heavily speculated about every year prior to 2007. People still cared for it because it was Final Fantasy VII, but by 2015, the greatest catalyst for joy in everyone's minds was knowing that they hadn't just been bamboozled once again. Shenmue 3, however, a game that many wanted, but that only a few really believed would be making a comeback, elicited this reaction:
Shenmue 3 ended up falling short of expectations, so that reveal was the best we ever got out of it; a moment when you could believe Shenmue 3 was the game to outdo everything that had come before.
E3's death fragmentation into many smaller events might prevent a reveal from ever reaching the same heights. Still, even worse is learning about the continuation of your favorite franchise via low-res—and sometimes straight-up fake—screenshots and dubious quotes from nameless devs. It sucks even harder when people who should know better also feed the problem on purpose. On the 21st, Geoff Keighley posted this on Twitter:
While a layman might just see the random image of a game-y generator, that's clearly a nod to an iconic contraption from the original Half-Life, right when fans are at their weakest. So, one last time, we must ask: Does that mean Half-Life 3 will be confirmed at this year's Game Awards? No, because that's actually a still from f*cking Fortnite.
Bloodborne 2, however, who knows?

Looting is the most important aspect in ARC Raiders. It is what drives each venture topside, and the only way you can actually progress in the game.
Sure, crafting your own stuff is always better, but the components have got to come from somewhere, and it won't be long before you run out. That, and the blueprints are topside-only, so you're probably going to want to know which places to hit most often for the best goodies.
Here's our full loot guide.
ARC Raiders loot guide - best places to hit on every map
Before I outline the locations themselves, here are some general notions to keep in mind every time you venture topside:
Now, here are our preferred looting locations on each ARC Raiders map:
Dam Battlegrounds
Dam is a fairly straightforward map and not the best for amazing loot. However, it has a few hotspots that tend to drop a few pinks here or there, so here they are:
Buried City
Buried City is a much denser map, one where loot can be found just about everywhere. However, it's a super hostile map that spawns countless powerful ARCs, including Bombardiers, Bastions, Rocketeers, and so on. They're patrolling the best loot locations, but you can still sneak past them and enter the following recommended loot zones:
Spaceport
Spaceport is by far my favorite map in the game, and it has a wide array of good loot locations. One in particular can yield a ton of amazing items, some of which are super rare and necessary to upgrade various workstations.
The Blue Gate
The Blue Gate is by far the most challenging and brutal map in the game. It has the strongest opponents, is riddled with ARCs, and is generally difficult to navigate. But precisely because of that, it's also a valuable source of tremendous loot, especially when it comes to one location.
Stella Montis
Stella Montis is the latest map in the game as of this article, and a dense one at that. It's trafficked by a great number of raiders at all times, and is overall a dangerous location. Even so, it's an amazing place for finding solid loot, and the following two places should be of particular interest to you:

You've finally made it through the three Crystal Cavern trials in Disney Dreamlight Valley, which means you're closer than ever to saving Wishblossom Ranch. To officially save this magical world, you need to tackle The Decay quest.
This is the final main storyline mission, so it's a crucial one to work through if you want to unlock everything this island has to offer. It can be a bit tricky to work through on your own, so here's how to complete The Decay quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
Table of contents
How to complete The Decay in Disney Dreamlight Valley
To complete The Decay quest, you need to increase your bond with Pegasus, gather some helpful protective accessories, and venture to the Decay island to put a stop to it once and for all. There's a lot to get done, and the fate of Wishblossom Ranch is at stake, so here's a full breakdown of everything you need to do.
Talk to Tinker Bell
Once you've completed the Crystal Cavern: Wishing Alps quest, the Crystal Caverns: Glamour Gulch quest, and the Crystal Cavern: Pixie Acres quest, meet Tinker Bell in the Wishblossom Heart to chat about what to do next.
Reach friendship level five with Pegasus
The first big step Tinker Bell gives you in this quest is building your friendship with Pegasus until you reach level five. It takes quite a lot of XP to reach this point, so it's best to chip away at this task slowly over time rather than trying to get it done in one go.
You can earn horse and mount XP by feeding them, petting them, brushing them, riding them, working on valley tasks with them, and jumping over obstacles with them. You'll earn a lot of XP passively by simply using your trusty mount to get around and tackle missions, so level five will come naturally over time.
Talk to the Wishblossom Ranch villagers
Once you've reached the XP requirement with Pegasus, track down Snow White around the ranch for a chat. She has a present to help prepare you for the journey ahead, and so do the other villagers around the island. Meet up with Cruella to talk with her next. Lastly, track down Tigger to chat and receive the gift he's got for you.
Put on your new accessories
Each of the three main Wishblossom Ranch villagers gave you a special accessory to help protect you on the dangerous journey you're about to endure, so put on the Hope Necklace, Ambition Bracelet, and Dream Earrings. All of them can be found on the Wardrobe page and can be selected by clicking the Tinker Bell quest icon.
Talk to the Giant Wishblossom in the Heart
Now that you're properly dressed for the daunting journey ahead, head to the Giant Wishblossom in the Heart to get going. You can find this massive flower through the stone archway between the bridge that leads to the Wishblossom Ranch area and the bridge that takes you over to Wishing Way. Chat with them once you arrive.
Break all the Decay crystals at the entrance to the island
You've made it to the heart of the Decay, a strange new island you now need to navigate through. First, break three Decay crystals near the entrance where you landed. As soon as you do, a wind tunnel will appear at the end of the path, allowing you to use Pegasus to fly to the next area.
Break all the Decay crystals on the first Crystal Island
On the first Crystal Island, you'll encounter a Wishblossom of Hope. They ask you to clear away all Decay crystals that have popped up around their island, so mount up and make your way around the area, breaking a total of five Decay crystals as you go. A second wind tunnel you can ride using Pegasus will appear near the edge of the island once all the crystals are destroyed.
Break all the Decay crystals on the second Crystal Island
You've landed on another island, this time one that is home to the Wishblossom of Ambition. They need you to find and break five more Decay crystals around the area before you can progress. Then, approach the next wind tunnel near the end of the island while riding Pegasus to fly over to the next location.
Break all the Decay crystals on the third Crystal Island
The third Wishblossom you encounter is the Wishblossom of Dreams, and after you land and chat with them, it's once again time to break five Decay crystals. As soon as you do, the massive Decay crystal hovering over the ranch will break, and the Decay quest will officially be complete.
