"As the internet likes to tell us, it's been a while." Please keep waiting, there are some magazines over there if you need them. "It's a process." Shouting won't increase the speed at which it happens. Do you "want the turkey that is in the oven for long enough to be delicious when it finally comes out of the oven"? Some of these are things I often have to say to my cat when the clock ticks to within an hour of feeding time. Some of them are things Todd Howard and co have said about The Elder Scrolls 6 in another little update that's seen them declare yet again that it is coming and add that development's going good thus far.

all anime celestial x secret boss locations guide

Secret bosses in Anime Celestial X drop more gold as well as artifacts you can use to boost your damage. That said they are all hidden across their respective worlds so I'll show you where they are and where you can accept quests to defeat them. Here are all Anime Celestial X secret boss locations.

All Secret Boss Locations in Anime Celestial X

You can reach all Anime Celestial X secret boss locations on foot without any flying mounts like Nimbus. Below you'll find step-by-step guides to find each secret boss separated by Worlds. I'll also show you where to find Alucard/World Line Giver that gives you the quests to slay those secret bosses.

  2. Next to Freeza, you can find Alucard/World Line Giver that gives you the secret boss quest for Broly.
  3. To reach Broly, look to the left of Freeza and you can see some platform islands you need to jump across.
  4. Use double jump and dash to cross the platform islands and reach the other side where you need to take the upper cliff.
  5. Go around the cliff and you'll see Broly.

Guitar in ARC Raiders

ARC Raiders' Cold Snap update has quietly added a Secret Button puzzle for players to decode, and cracking it successfully will lead you to the legendary Guitar item on a raid.

There are 15 secret red buttons spread all around the Buried City map. Things would have been pretty easy if all we had to do was to press all the buttons on a single raid. Unfortunately, the reality is far more complex, and this guide will help you to complete the puzzle without any hassle.

ARC Raiders Buried City Secret Button puzzle solution

Before I deep dive into the solution, it's worth thanking ARC Raiders Puzzle Discord for figuring out the solution. This is by far the most complex puzzle that I have ever encountered in the game. To complete the puzzle, you'll have to press the secret red buttons, which are spread all over Buried City.

Here's the catch: you'll have to press the buttons in a pre-determined order. That's right, there's only one correct order of activating the buttons. Every button has a corresponding musical note (you just have to pay attention to the button and ensure that the correct order is maintained).

If someone breaks the sequence by pressing the wrong button, you'll have to start the entire process from scratch on a fresh raid. Pressing any wrong button, even once, will break the complete sequence, and you won't be able to gain access to the legendary Guitar.

If you observe the screenshot above, you'll get the exact order of how you should press the buttons. We begin from the button marked as "1" and work all the way to "15".

Here's a quick note on how to locate the secret buttons at each location. Do note that they're not that hard to find when you're at the correct locations.

Button 1

The first button is present at Plaza Rosa. Take the stairs and go upstairs. Turn right, head straight, and there will be a kitchen cabinet to your right. The button is just by this kitchen cabinet.

Button 2

The second one is inside the Galleria. Approach from the roof hatch, go down using the zipline. Turn left twice, and the button will be to your left.

Button 3

The third one is all the way to the west in the Warehouse. It's located on the roof, in-between two structures.

Button 4

The fourth one is in the middle of the Marano Park. It's inside a small room in the park at the marked location.

Button 5

The fifth button is slightly harder to find. Head to the Grandioso Apartments and take the zipline from the bottom. Go all the way to the top, turn left, and head straight to the balcony. Head straight, and you'll find a room with glass walls to your left. Break the glass, and the button will be on the ground the sofa.

Button 6

The sixth button is by a ledge of a cyan-colored house at the Piazza Arbusto location. Look for the ledge on the second floor of the building (outside, and not inside), and you'll find the button.

Button 7

The seventh button is inside a bus near the Library building.

Button 8

The eighth button can be on a house near the Corso da Vinci. Enter the marked building from the left (red-colored) using the broken wall. Go inside, turn left, head straight, and turn left. The button will be on the floor of this room.

Button 9

Button 9 is in the Buried Properties, by the Raider Den depot. You'll find a dilapidated house, and the button will be hidden beside a generator.

Button 10

To find the tenth button, enter the Hospital from the front and turn left. You'll find a set of stairs; the button is under the stairs.

Button 11

The eleventh button is under the Abandoned Highway. Keep following the Abandoned Highway till the bridge snaps in two. Drop down to a house's roof on the left, and again turn left (on the roof itself). Just take a few steps forward, and the button will be to your left.

Button 12

The twelfth one is in the Church Ruins. It's on the roof of the western edge of the building.

Button 13

Button 13

To find button 13, reach the attic of the Santa Maria houses. Take the stairs to the top, and you'll find a zipline on the top floor to reach the attic.

Button 14

The fourteenth button is located in a small tower at the marked location "14" on the screenshot above (map).

Button 15

Final button
Image via Embark

The final one is in the Red Tower. You'll find the door on the ground floor (enter through one of the broken doors) and just press the button.

If done correctly, a tune will play, followed by the door (on the screenshot above) opening for you to find the Guitar and a host of other items.

V2 armor in Palworld

The V2 armor is one of several new gear items that have been added to Palworld as part of the Home Sweet Home update, and you can craft it with the correct resources.

Palworld is currently enjoying its second major video-game expansion of the year. V2 armor is directly influenced by the contents available in ULTRAKILL, and you can obtain this fantastic piece of gear to reinforce your build.

While you can buy the armor directly to add to your in-game inventory, crafting it will be a lot more convenient.

How to craft V2 armor in Palworld

The V2 armor, just like the V1 armor, comes in two variants: Normal and Legendary. The Normal variant can be crafted once you unlock it from the Technology tab. First, you'll need to unlock its Blueprint, which will then allow you to craft it with the correct resources.

To unlock the Blueprint, you'll need to reach Level 56. You're going to require the following resources to complete the production process.

  • 20 High Quality Cloth (refined version of the ordinary Cloth)
  • 40 Pal Metal Ingot (you'll first have to produce Ingots, and then refine them with specific resources)
  • 40 Plasteel (an advanced material that can be crafted with the correct recipe and ingredients)

To produce the V2 armor, you'll need either of the two following workbenches.

  • Production Assembly Line II
  • Advanced Civilization Workshop

Once done, you can then craft the V2 armor. Do note that you can also obtain the armor directly from the Medals Merchant. You'll need 780 Dog Coins (you can also buy the V1 armor from the same source). The Arena shop also apparently has the armor on offer.

V2 armor stats in Palworld

The V2 armor is modeled after the New Peace machine, and it has a beefed-up shield that's pretty hard to take down. However, it doesn't offer any self-repair system, unlike the V1 armor.

  • Defense: 600
  • HP: 215
  • Additional Effects: Cold Resistant Lv. 2, Heat Resistant Lv. 2
  • Rarity: Common
  • Weight: 30

V1 armor in Palworld

The V1 armor is now available in Palworld after the launch of the Home Sweet Home update, and you can construct it with the correct resources.

This is the second major video game collaboration that Palworld has had this year. The ULTRAKILL collab adds several iconic weapons and armors for you to find, and the V1 armor appears to be unique.

How to craft V1 armor in Palword

The V1 armor appears to be present in two variants: Normal and Legendary. You can craft the Normal variant after unlocking the gear piece from the Research tab.

Here's the list of items that you'll require.

  • 15 High Quality Pal Oil (can be obtained by eliminating high-level Pals. The item is relatively rare)
  • 30 Ingots (can be produced at your base. You'll require raw metals to find the item)

You'll require a player level of at least 32 to be able to craft this armor. To do so, first unlock the V1 armor blueprint from the Technology tab. Then, you'll need the resources in the required quantities as mentioned above.

You can craft the V1 armor at any of the following workbenches.

  • Production Assembly Line
  • Production Assembly Line II
  • Advanced Civilization Workshop

You can also purchase the Legendary V1 armor from the Medal Merchant in exchange for 780 Dog Coins. It's also apparently available in the Arena store.

Palworld V1 armor stats and effects

The V1 Armor is modeled after the Final War machine and offers a self-repair system that will activate whenever you deal damage. If you're someone who loves to clash a lot, this armor will be the perfect choice.

Here are its base stats in Palworld.

  • Defense 51
  • HP 806
  • Cold Resistannt Lv. 1
  • Heat Resistant Lv. 2
  • Blood is Fuel
  • Weight: 30
