Not sure what button to use on controller, but mousewheel zooms out when in the boat (and when on foot too of course). Makes sailing much much easier. Be careful taking things from chests into your inventory. At one point you took some coins and swapped it for resin. Perhaps you did it on purpose, but if it was an accident you might accidentally replace something you want one day. There's a button to simply "Take All" to avoid this. Generally speaking, the more difficult biomes can be found away from the centre of the map. You're doing the right thing, exploring away from the middle. There's no telling exactly where the other biomes are, you just have to hunt them down.
it's comfortable to always have a portal without a name at the base and one on you that can be placed at any time to empty your inventory of excess resources or sleep for example this will save you a lot of inconvenience and wasted time. on the other hand if you are in a desperate situation and you place the portal in the middle of the monsters attation because it is the last attempt to break it, then I advise you to always make sure to place a specific portal by biome / zone and in safety in case of an unfortunate accident very far from your place of reappearance
Portals - You can tell if it is facing "the right way" if the bottom part of the portal's point is facing you. It's got a little point at the bottom. "Advanced portaling" - Carry two sets. One for when you drop into a new land and one for emergency use, when venturing further in. Keep the second set unnamed so you can simply slap it down with no name in a pinch if you're about to die.
one set is enough, just place it down before you get in a fight so you can escape if you need... yea unnamed... you need to have have 1 back to base unnamed...
The map follows a concentric circle approach to the biomes. The further from the middle the harder the biomes become. Go forth and have an adventure. Whats the worse that can happen 😉
The biomes tend to progress as you move out from the center of the map. So sailing outward will increase your chances of finding a swamp. You may just have to bite the bullet and sail out into the "Open Sea". Swamps can be found inland, but it is not common, they tend to keep to the coasts.
swamp will pop up; scrappy looking trees, and a dark area on the map. Sailing fairly close to coast it will show up on your minimap, watch out for it being near the Plains and its little monsters as well, they sometimes venture over into the swamp if your cross into the plains inadvertently.
the swamp appears as a darker colour brown along the coastline. keep on keeping on, it will arrive! dont worry, searching for it wont be as bad as finding it. LOL... seriously its scary to some.
Only tip I would give is that the biomes generally get tougher the further you go out from the centre. In terms of the swamp specifically, you’ll know it when you see it…. The search / exploration continues! 👍👍😎😎
As you explore the swamp make sure you park your boat in a shallow place when you rest, so if it gets destroyed the components sink in a spot you can recover them. Or you can destroy the boat and place the components in a chest.
You're getting far enough out now I'd suggest placing a travel portal so if you die before making your next foothold you don't have to sail all the way from your home base to recover your corpse... the ocean can be a dangerous place... (muohahahah) no base or anything just pop it in a nice safe spot, name it something easy like numerically, pop a marker on the map, and carry on your way. And plant your carrots to get more seeds! 😋
I am so excited to see somebody playing this game, I play on a sever with six others, and I recommend getting some friends to join you on the sever, makes the game 10x more fun.
26:55 nobody knows because its a random map generator, there is a way for someone ells to tell u but that requires ur SEED NUMBER ( then we can look it up for u) so it doesnt get spoiled for u... true discord or something
In PC you can change the camera position away from you while sailing or on the ground, thus allowing a better view while on water. I guess there must be a similar option for consoles.
Mostly true. You can find the boss without finding the Vegvisir, yet it's not going to be marked on your map until you get close enough to it or you interact with it's Runestone that hints at how to summon it. I'm not sure which it is. I think it's just by proximity.
@@xantishayde-walker4593 - It's marked on the map by interacting with the Vegvisirs, even the ones at the boss summoning points. The traders appear based on proximity though.
@@Adrena1in What I'm saying is, you can stumble upon the thing without using a Vegvesir. I've done it and seen it done on video. So, in that instance, how is it added to the map is what I'm asking.
@@xantishayde-walker4593 - oh yeah, I know what you’re saying. In my main save, on my travels, I’ve stumbled upon additional boss arenas for every boss up to and including the 6th one. In every case there’s a Vegvisir at the summoning point, which adds the icon to the map.
Explore. Don't be afraid to explore further into the world. Just don't try to jump biomes or you'll find yourself struggling to recover your body, over and over again.
Head straight out any direction away from your original spawn area. You will see swamp and other biomes as you get further out. The world is as big as the tan circle of your map.
You really did get a horrible first map! Generally, the biomes progress as you get further from your starting point (exception being mountains). Black Forest is notorious for the random rocks in the water... As others have said, you should be able to zoom out while sailing. Also, should consider stronger armor. Troll hide is great for sneaking but doesn't protect as well.
Few things to prepare you for the swamp: 1. Blunt class weapon, like a mace. Most enemies in the swamp are weak for blunt weapons. 2. Make poison resistance potions. Almost everything will try to poison you there. 3. Consider higher tier armor. 4. Bring a hoe with you to make "paths" in the swamp to traverse the ground easier. 5. Trying not to spoil anything, but consider exploring more black forests, areas you haven't mapped out - for a little something extra special.
Further you go from the center of the world, the stone circle, the more advance biomes and stronger enemies you will encounter! my advice is choose a direction and just go straight!

Left trigger + up/down on dpad
Thanks both.
The further from the spawn stones you get, the more advanced biomes appear, you will travel further as the game progresses.
Thanks @TheBepisMan-e5s

thanks for this.
I always take fresh underwear with me when I enter a swamp.
😂😂
Harder biomes are more often as you go away from the center but its possible to find maedows or BF in the edge of the map
Thanks for this

so true. Out to sea we go.
If you head south you will most likely hit every biome down to ashlands.

Reminds me of a old Proverb. It's something like "When hunting tigers, one should be prepared to find one."
👍🙂
3:36 u can use your mouse wheel to scroll all the way back to view ur boat from a distance, just scroll out, it goes really far back
Second this; but you're using a controller, so I believe it's LB + Dpad ↑↓ .. In the boat, zoom out alll the way; makes it much easier!
Thanks both.
Make poison potion before entering swamp, everything will try to poison you.
👍👍🙂

When sailing, try using your mouse wheel to zoom the view out so you can see where you are going better.
thanks @dannave7816
It's a very big map - just keep exploreing
will do. thanks

Bosses - Each boss will be found by venturing into it's biome. For example, you won't find the swamp boss until you find the vegvisir in it's biome.
Mostly true. You can find the boss without finding the Vegvisir, yet it's not going to be marked on your map until you get close enough to it or you interact with it's Runestone that hints at how to summon it.

@@Adrena1in There it is. Thanks.
Yeah the map is gigantic, the edge of the map is at the edge of the circle when you zoom out all the way
😧
Go out there.
If you have the wind at your back nothing can catch you anyway. Sooner or later you'll have to go across the ocean,
So just do it
Out to sea we go.
Explore. Don't be afraid to explore further into the world. Just don't try to jump biomes or you'll find yourself struggling to recover your body, over and over again.
Thanks @hilltigger. Across the sea we go.
Try and sail out much further than you are right now, the edge of the world is the edge of the fog on the map, keep sailing out more basically!
Thanks @BoaZ-ns4kg
Head straight out any direction away from your original spawn area. You will see swamp and other biomes as you get further out. The world is as big as the tan circle of your map.
It's massive! I'm heading out there next.
the worlds are ramdomly generated, the swamp could be literally anywhere, for example i have a swamp in a world of mine not too far from spawn
i changed my power button to P instead of F because i was activating it by accident all the time
