Getting there safely

Mistakes worth avoiding

  • Following a guide written for an older version and assuming nothing moved.
  • Changing several settings at once, then having no idea which one helped.
  • Trusting a video thumbnail over the actual patch notes.
  • Skipping the preparation step because it looks boring, then repeating the hard part four times.

Frequently asked questions

Is the location randomised?

The general area is fixed in most versions; the exact placement within it can shift between saves.
