In a few months time we'll be approaching the anniversary of Square Enix realising that actually, their commitment to releasing certain games only on particular platforms isn't that good for them after all. These following two years will supposedly have been a time of internal change for the studio, with that translated externally via the Final Fantasy 7 Remake games releasing on more than just PlayStation. Perhaps they're finally making smart choices! And then last year, instead of finally showing off something like, I don't know, Kingdom Hearts 4, which was first revealed four years ago now, they announced Killer Inn. Okay! And now, you can try it out for yourself.

I'll be truthful with you for a moment: I do, from time to time, enjoy a game where I do not have to be supremely strategic, and get to watch different lights and colours light up on my screen. Something that's got the juice, but doesn't ask too much of me. Everyone needs to turn their brain half off once in a while! And I believe I could quite easily find myself switching off that half to STICKER/BALL once in a while, a "pool game roguelike from the future."

You know, you'd think that with decades worth of RPGs in existence, side quests would have been more or less figured out by now. And yet, there are still enough games releasing that seem more interested in going for quantity over quality. But for the devs over at Archetype Entertainment, the goal is to make the side quests in their upcoming sci-fi jaunt Exodus not feel just "tacked on."

Cold Snap map condition

The winter might be over in ARC Raiders, but the Cold Snap modifier will be back as a permanent addition to the Topside very soon.

Cold Snap was removed after completion of the Flickering Flames project earlier in January. However, Embark has announced that the map event will be back in the rotation pool. If you're interested in diving into the frozen lands and finding Candleberries, this guide will help you out with all the available information.

ARC Raiders Cold Snap release date and time

The Cold Snap map modifier will be available in ARC Raiders on Feb. 10. This is a permanent addition that will be present until Embark removes it once again. The rotation should be available at 12am PT/2am CT/3am ET/8am UTC/9am CET, which is the usual reset time.

However, the Cold Snap update might not be available immediately, since Embark will add it to the pool of map modifier rotations. Everything depends on how frequent Cold Snap will be as per the schedule. Some modifiers, like Bird City is only available on the Buried City map.

https://twitter.com/ARCRaidersGame/status/2020180761849331776

That said, I expect Cold Snap to be available on all maps barring Stella Montis.

What can we expect from Cold Snap in ARC Raiders

Since we have already had Cold Snap in the past, we have a fair idea about the challenges we will face. For starters, the parts of the map in Cold Snap will be completely frozen, and we will take damage by being exposed to the cold.

There should be exclusive resources like Candleberries that can only be found on the frozen lands. Last time, we had to collect them to complete the Flickering Flames project. It's different this time around, but there could be more use for Candleberries.

If you're interested in trying out Cold Snap when it arrives, you should start managing your inventories well. You're going to need certain items that will be necessary to survive in the cold.

Armored soldier in MENACE

Weapons in MENACE appear in different shapes and sizes, with each having unique skills that you'll need to understand.

Weapon skills refer to different stats that are associated with every gun in MENACE. If you've been confused about what the terms mean, this guide will help you out.

All MENACE weapon skills

The table below provides brief descriptions of all weapon skills in the game.

Skill Name How it Works
Accuracy Modifier A modifier that determines how accurate a weapon is on top of all its base stats. This modifier can be positive or negative based on the values.
Ammunition Count Determines how much ammo is available for a specific weapon.
Armor Penetration Determines the chance to penetrate for a specific type of ammunition. When the penetration value is equal to or higher than the armor value, your shot will always penetrate.
Armor Damage The amount of damage taken by the armor trying to stop one shot from a specific weapon.
Elements Hit Determines how many elements at most can be killed with a single shot of a weapon.
Hit Point Damage The amount of damage that a single shot from the weapon does if it's not blocked by armor.
Range The maximum range of a weapon when it can fire its ammunition. This doesn't consider the chances of the hit landing on adjacent tiles while bypassing the range.
Suppression The amount of suppression that's applied to enemies per shot. If a shot misses the unit and hits its tile, a reduced amount of Suppression is applied.
Rate of Fire The number of shots a weapon fires in a single attack. If an entire squad is equipped with the same weapon, the value will be applicable for all units.
Trade Value The rarity of a weapon, which determines the potential value of a gun on the black market.
Logistics The cost of resupplying the weapon. This is the base cost that doesn't take perks of a squad leader (some of them have perks that reduce the supply cost of acquiring additional supplies).

Jakotsu-Baba charging up into battle in Nioh 3.

Nioh 3, being a Soulslike at heart, throws players into all sorts of encounters against powerful, near-unstoppable enemies. These boss fights are often major turning points in the plot, and beating them is mandatory to drive the story forward.

One of the earliest major challengers players will fight is Jakotsu-Baba, the final boss of the first Crucible and the last great fight in the game's demo. She is a tough one and very unpredictable, but not impossible to beat.

So, here's how you should go about it.

Defeating Jakotsu-Baba in Nioh 3

Jakotsu-Baba in Nioh 3.
The red snake hits hard but slower, while the frost one is quick but much more manageable. Screenshot by Destructoid

Jakotsu-Baba is a formidable demonic boss that sports several weapons, two of which are the snakes on her back, alongside her massive stick.

Her attacks alternate between using the big red snake and the white frosted one, with the boss performing a special move to "activate" the frost snake, as the red is her default one.

The red snake does a lot more damage and hits much harder, but is generally a lot slower, whereas the frost one has quick and sweeping attacks that do less damage per hit but can still hurt you. The stick is slow and normal, and even if she does delay it a bit, quite easy to defend against.

With this in mind, your best bet would be to utilize the Samurai form at a Low Stance, prioritizing counterattacks and deflection over dodging and the relentless onslaught that the Ninja would be better fit for.

This is because every single thing Jakotsu-Baba throws at you can easily be deflected, and even if it isn't, it doesn't do that much Ki damage (which you can still make up for with Ki pulses once you do start attacking).

Jakotsu-Baba entering the arena in Nioh 3.
Jakotsu-Baba is a formidable opponent through and through. Screenshot by Destructoid

For example, she often throws the red snake straight at you in a thrusting sort of way, which you can block and not try to deflect (the red snake is fairly easy to just block and ignore). With the frost snake, Jakotsu-Baba goes 1-2 slowly in two sweeping attacks and then 1-2 quickly in shorter-ranged strikes. These four attacks follow a patterned rhythm, which you can easily memorize and deflect, charging up your arts gauge and using it to land counterattacks.

She also has a Burst Attack (when she lights up red, cannot be deflected) that is easily countered by a stance shift. She lifts up her stick, strikes once, then again, and then charges up with a Burst Attack. Simply shift stance as soon as the stick starts going down, and you'll have landed a great counter and opened her up for a lot of damage.

By aiming to block the red snake, deflect the frost one, and break every Burst Attack she does, you'll frequently leave Jakotsu-Baba staggered or winded, allowing you to land a few hits every now and again.

This is a slow, methodical approach to beating the boss, and since you'll have to rely on your Samurai stance, then respecig at the shrine just before her arena is a solid strategy. Pour everything into Strength, Heart, and Constitution, and watch Jakotsu-Baba suffer tremendous damage from any weapon you use.

I opted for the Crimson General Set, Odachi, Bow, and all, which offered me lots of poise and defense while simultaneously providing tremendous damage on my melee attacks. Speaking of which, you should also totally cover yourself in the most potent, high-defense equipment you have to ensure she does not do damage, even if her attacks somehow connect.

You'll have to dance with her, essentially, deflecting and getting a hit or two in before going back on the defense.

Rinse and repeat many times (and it did take me many times), and you'll eventually get her.

Oh, and in her Yokai form, don't fret. She doesn't do many things differently, and the strategy above applies to the entire fight.

Samurai in Nioh 3.

Nioh 3 is finally here. Much like its predecessors, its core gameplay heavily relies on proper builds and equipment, with players able to find literally thousands of items around the world, each of which could be a crucial component to any given build.

But once you've found all that you want, you may want to upgrade it yourself or perhaps even craft an entire build from scratch. One of the strongest and most potent upgrades is Soul Matching, by which you'll be able to use Azure Soul Ores to add +value to your equipment, boosting its stats tremendously.

This Ore is very difficult to come by, so here's everything you need to know.

Where to find Azure Soul Ores in Nioh 3

Shrine Maiden's Hakama being dismantled at a blacksmith in Nioh 3.
This Shrine Maiden's Hakama is a +1 item that I found near the end of the Warring States storyline. Screenshot by Destructoid

Azure Soul Ores are solely obtainable by performing Soul Extraction at the Blacksmith on items with +value upgrades already on them. This means that you'll need a weapon or armor with +1 or +2 or more on it already and then perform Soul Extraction (the same way you would if you're looking for Yellow Soul Ores).

These items are exceptionally rare, and I've only been able to find six of them in over 30 hours of gameplay. Most of what I did find was in the Warring States map, both as quest rewards during those initial couple dozen levels and as rare drops from powerful enemies.

My advice would be to seek out any and all challenges the game has to offer, as fighting strong bosses is just about the best way to obtain Azure Soul Ores. Closing Crucibles around the maps could put you up against waves of strong opponents, further increasing the odds of +value weapons dropping.

Armory in MENACE

MENACE has plenty of different aspects you'll need to master when it comes to raising your army, and at its foundation lie the squad leaders.

The squad leaders are special characters you can recruit to lead your troops on the battlefield. Unlike ordinary units, squad leaders have their own personalities, skills, star ratings, and more. Building a balanced roster is easier said than done.

All squad leader stats and star ratings in MENACE

The table below has the key stats and star ratings of all 16 squad leaders in MENACE. Star ratings are an easy way to understand which squad leaders are powerful. Every has a rating between one star and three stars. However, a squad leader with higher stars is harder to manage, and there are other applicable penalties as well.

Nioh 3 has plenty of bosses for you to take down, and there are three hidden/secret ones if you're not satisfied.

The secret bosses are named 'secret' for good reasons. If you simply complete the main and side quests, you won't encounter them. You'll also need to clear a bit of early-game content before you can start encountering these demons.

This guide will provide you with all the required information for taking down the hidden bosses in Nioh 3.

All secret boss locations in Nioh 3

There are three secret bosses in Nioh 3.

  • Demon of Pride
  • Demon of Envy
  • Demon of Obsession

Demon of Pride

The Demon of Pride is the first secret boss you can find, and you'll need to reach the Heian period (second era). Complete the Sacred Mountain Defiled quest as well.

Once you have cleared these requirements, reach the Sengan Waterfall shrine in the Ilinoya region. Go down to the river and move towards the waterfall located in the north. Once you reach the waterfall, use your Spirit Vein mechanic to go up.

There's a shadow you can find at this spot. Go near him, and it will commence the Demon of Pride boss battle. Once you defeat the boss, you will unlock the Kunimatsu's Pride achievement and more loot.

Demon of Envy

To locate the second boss, you'll also need to reach the Heian Period and complete the Sacred Mountain Defiled quest. Once done, go to the Anneibo Temple Shrine, situated in Hachijo. From there, head east until you find a watchtower. Take the ladders to reach the top, and then sprint towards the western edge.

Jump across to the next location and get down to find the Demon of Envy. Completing the battle unlocks Kunimatsu's Envy achievement and more loot.

Demon of Obsession

You'll need the most amount of time to reach this secret boss, as he's located at the Nijo Castle region. You'll first need to reach the Bakumatsu period and complete the Those Left Behind quest. Then, reach the Maruta Ruins shrine, and go south to where the Lesser Crucible is situated.

To unlock the path, cleanse the Crucible. You'll come across a gap; use the log to cross it before going past the wooden bridge. After arriving at the enemy base, exit through the northern section until you reach a bamboo forest.

Go northwest, and you'll find a shadow. Keep following the shadow to reach the Abandoned Temple Outskirts shrine. Then, cross the bridge and go close to the shadow to begin the Demon of Obsession boss battle. Completing it unlocks the Kunimatsu's Obsession achievement and more loot.

The Naval Update in Rust has introduced the Deep Sea location for players to explore, and there are plenty of things to find.

The Naval update is the first major patch of the new year. It centers around how water voyages have worked in the past, while it also brings up the Deep Sea. The new region is filled with danger, but rewards await those who're bold enough.

How to reach the Deep Sea in Rust

The first task is a Boat Building Station and the necessary resources for building it. As an alternative, you can use the RHIBs or PT Boats to venture into this new region. However, having your own boat is better. Incidentally, you can't find the Deep Sea, which is strange but understandable.

Once you've built your boat, load plenty of resources and supplies. Then, you can begin your journey to locate the new region. You can do so either on your own or with your buddies.

Rust Deep Sea location explored

The Deep Sea is a dangerous area to be in, and expect to find enemies in plenty. Here are a few things that the region offers.

You'll find Floating Cities in the Deep Sea location, which allows players to rest, recharge their supplies, and find essential things for their adventures. Floating Cities also have a farming barge that allows you to grow and harvest fresh fish.

You can also try your luck in the Deep Deck Casino in these cities. These places will allow you to interact with other players without bullets flying by your head.

Islands

You'll find several small islands in the Deep Sea Location that offer you various loot. However, these lands are filled with Scientists who will prevent you from looting the place. The exact degree of resistance and resources that you find will vary across different islands, and they're random.

You'll occasionally come across dilapidated ships stranded in the middle of the ocean. These are Ghost Ships, and they're filled with loot. However, they're protected by scientists, and you'll need to take them down to grab all the resources. Some Ghost Ships might also contain locked crates that you can hack for valuables.

Boats

The Scientists patrol the ocean waters in their own custom boats that come in two variants: PT and RHIBs. You'll frequently find them around Ghost Ships, but their locations can be random. PT Boats have two turrets, and they can be extremely dangerous for players. RHIBs might not be armed, but you'll find Scientists and equipment on them. Approaching them should be strategic, as the Scientists can and will fire at you.
