Kirby's whole thing is that he has a huge mouth, and anything he swallows he either absorbs their powers or transforms into. If he swallows Mario in a Smash fight he gets a red hat. In more recent times, if he puts a car in his mouth, he turns into a car.

Unlock Heaven on High FFXIV

Heaven-on-High is the second Deep Dungeon available for players to tackle in Final Fantasy XIV. Like the Palace of the Dead, this unique style of dungeon features procedurally generated levels that are full to the brim with challenging monsters. And much like other Deep Dungeons, this is another way for players to level up their combat Job Classes without wholly relying on the leveling roulette. This guide will break down how to unlock Heaven-on-High in FFXIV.

The first two requirements players must have in order to access Heaven-on-High is to have at least reached floor 50 in Palace of the Dead and to have completed the Main Scenario Quest "The Tide Goes in, Imperials Go Out." This is a level 63 Main Scenario Quest, which means you will have access to Heaven-on-High long before the conclusion of the Stormblood expansion — which you need in order to access this specific Deep Dungeon. If you're not sure how to unlock Palace of the Dead, you can click here to find out how to get access to this Deep Dungeon. Outside of that, the unlock requirements in FFXIV for Heaven-on-High aren't very intensive.

Once these requirements have been met, head to the the Ruby Sea and talk to Hamakaze at X:6.2, Y:11.7 to begin the quest "Knocking on Heaven's Door." Once you complete the series of quests that follow, you will then have access to Heaven-on-High. However, unlike Palace of the Dead, you cannot enter this Deep Dungeon at level 1. You will need to have the Job Class you want to take into Heaven-on-High at level 61 before you can dive in.

Final Fantasy XIV is available for the PS4, PS5, and PC.

Pokemon Scarlet Samurott Tera Raid

Samurott will be the next 7-star Tera Raid event in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. In addition, it was also announced that Mighty Samurott will have a Bug Tera Type. This new Mighty Samurott Tera Raid will appear first from March 31, 2023 until April 3, 2023, and then once again between April 7-10, 2023.

Samurott's Bug Tera Type means that it will be weak to Flying, Rock, and Fire type attacks. However, Samurott's original Water type means that it will probably have water moves. This could prove dangerous if players bring a Rock or Fire type Pokemon to the fight.

7-star Tera Raids are a series of exclusive timed events in which players can fight and capture special Pokemon, some of which are not normally present in the Paldea region. Other Pokemon that appeared in previous 7-star Tera Raids have been Charizard, Cinderace, Greninja, Pikachu, and Decidueye.

Samurott was introduced in the Pokemon Black and White generation of games, which released on September 2010 in Japan, and March 2011 everywhere else. Most recently, Samurott appeared as one of the starters in 2022's Pokemon Legends: Arceus, where it gained a Water/Dark Hisuian variant. The previous 7-star Tera Raid, Decidueye, also appeared as a starter in PL:A, where it gained a Grass/Fighting Hisuian variant. Because of this, it's possible that the next Mighty Tera Raid could be Typhlosion, the remaining third starter in PL:A.

As a reminder, Nintendo and Game Freak recently announced that they are working on a patch for the Walking Wake and Iron Leaves event, which will reappear at the end of April 2023.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are readily available on the Nintendo Switch, and the Samurott Tera Raid will appear first from March 31, 2023 until April 3, 2023, and once again between April 7-10, 2023.

FFXIV Unlock Palace of the Dead

Final Fantasy XIV allows for players to level up their Job Classes in a myriad of ways, with Palace of the Dead being one of them. This unique type of leveling experience known as a "Deep Dungeon" will test the mettle of even the most experienced players, through randomly generated dungeon levels. Arguably, one of the best ways to level up your Job Class without undertaking the Main Scenario Quests, or doing FATEs, this guide will explain how to unlock the Palace of the Dead in FFXIV.

First, players will need to complete the "Into Copperhell" Main Scenario Quest. This will be the final quest in unlocking the first three dungeons players will have access to, which are Sastasha, the Tam-Tara Deepcroft, and the Copperbell Mines in that order. Once you have completed the Copperbell Mines quest as part of the FFXIV Main Scenario Quests, you can then head to Gridania to pick up the first quest to unlock the Palace of the Dead.

Speak to Nojiro Marujiro in Gridania at X:12.0,Y:13.1 and pick up the quest "The House that Death Built." This quest is flagged with the blue quest marker with the check point. This signifies that it is optional content that will unlock an extra feature in the game, this being Palace of the Dead. Once you have begun this quest, the chain will eventually lead you to The Quarrymill. This is where the Palace of the Dead is located. Speak to the Wood Wailer Expeditionary Captain at X:25.2, Y:20.6 to enter the Palace of the Dead.

Keep in mind that Palace of the Dead functions completely differently from your standard dungeon. These Deep Dungeons have limited save files, and once you start with a specific Job Class, you must see that save file through to the end, or until you die. That said, you can jump out of the Palace of the Dead every 10 levels, do don't feel rushed to complete it all in one go.

Final Fantasy XIV is available for the PS4, PS5, and PC.
