  • Sniper Elite: Resistance Review - Deja Vu
    www.gamespot.com
    Not every game needs to be more like IO Interactive's Hitman, but some games would benefit from adopting more of that incredible series' strong points. This is something Rebellion seemed to figure out around the time of Sniper Elite 3 back in 2014, when the series ditched linear levels set in tight, wartorn streets in favor of a much deeper, wider tour of duty, with each map allowing for player choice in how they navigate the world and complete missions. The series has even gone so far as to create some absurd, Agent 47-like situations in which you can assassinate Nazis. Sniper Elite: Resistance reintroduces that tried-and-true formula for the fourth time in 11 years, and though it's still enjoyable, I can't help but notice how this campaign through the French countryside elicits such a strong sense of deja vu.Sniper Elite is a third-person shooter set during World War II, and like other games in the series, it can be played in first-person when you're aiming. The series has made a name for itself on a deep ballistic physics model that accounts for wind, bullet drop, and positioning, as well as its cherry on top: the X-ray killcam. This feature shows you, in slow-motion, how each bullet shreds Nazis in grotesque detail, inside and out. Like in other Sniper Elite games, a well-placed bullet can shoot their eyes out, explode their hearts, or even obliterate their testicles, among other special displays of sharpshooting.Like its predecessors, the game is a fun and reliable shooter when it comes to sniping mechanics, though I've grown weary of the killcam. These days, I more often skip the killcam, or at least adjust my settings to see fewer of them. I get it by now; it's neat tech, but they add up over the course of a mission, which already tend to take me about two hours each, because I'm much more interested in stealthily completing my missions than watching the highlight reels of long-range vivisections.Continue Reading at GameSpot

  • Where to find all nymphs in Honkai: Star Rail
    www.polygon.com
    Honkai: Star Rails 3.0 update added a new type of scavenger hunt to the game: nymphs in Amphoreus. These critters are scattered around the maps, with each map featuring a Garmentmaker looking to find them. Help the Garmentmaker out and youll be able to get Stellar Jade and other goodies for yoru time.These little bugs work similarly to the origami birds from Penacony. There are a bunch of them scattered around the map, and once you find them, youll need to report to the Garmentmaker in each area to get your reward. If you dont know which nymphs youre missing from the map, you can trade Memory Crystal Shards in exchange for a hint on where one of the missing nymphs is. (However, if you use our guide, you shouldnt have to do this, and you can use your shards on loot from Janus Steed in Okhema instead.)These bugs are also chatty, so if youre having a hard time finding them, you can keep your eyes peeled for text bubbles that will show up, as they seem to have a lot to say.Unlike the origami birds, finding nymphs doesnt reward you with light cones. Instead, you get Celestial Ambrosia, which youll need to rank up the Tidal Bounty in the Vortex of Genesis. There are also additional puzzles that you can complete once you get the nymphs in specific areas (and well detail that, too).Below, we list where to find all nymphs in Amphoreus with both a map and a description of where to look.Update (Jan. 28): Weve updated this guide with further rewards for obtaining all the nymphs.Eternal Holy City Okhema nymph locationsThere are 20 nymphs total in Okhema, and they look like butterflies. Once you find all 20, youll get a text from Aglaea to return to the Garmentmaker. Youll get Stellar Jade and Celestial Ambrosia for finding them. After collecting all 20, the Garmentmaker will move near the elevator, pointing you towards a puzzle that reward you with a precious chest and the achievement Chirping Secret: Golden Journey. Youll need to use the fountains in Okhema to solve the nymphs secret message.Eternal Holy City Okhema, Marmoreal Palace F2On the Garmentmaker.On some flowery bushes.Blending in to the butterfly mural on the wall.At the top of the ramp on the curved structure above.Eternal Holy City Okhema, Marmoreal Palace F1Laying on the center water fountain.Sitting upright on a chair.Sleeping in the towels by your bath.On the edge of the stage.On the potted plant on the table.

Once you find all 20, youll get a text from Aglaea. For your troubles, youll get the Portentous Goldwoven: Bloodbathed Battlefront quest item, Stellar Jades, and Celestial Ambrosia.After collecting all 20 nymphs in this area, the aforementioned quest item will give you hints about getting the precious chest for this area. Youll need to walk forward towards the center of the round 3D room on B1 at dawn. (Its a little fiddly, so you may need to walk a bit or try backing up and walking in again.) If done correctly, a nymph will appear, asking you a question to which you should answer Four warriors, to get the chest and the Chirping Secret: Blemish of Light achievement.Bloodbathed Battlefront Castrum Kremnos F2On the wall in the room with the two enemies.On the edge of the walkway.On the edge of the walkway.On the wall decor.On the walls.

Once you find them, youll get Stellar Jade, the Portentous Goldwoven: Strife Ruins item, and Celestial Ambrosia.Once you have all 20 nymphs, you can head to the Kremnos Arena (the northern part within the huge circle on F2), and walk forward into the arena. (Just like the Bloodbathed Battlefront instance, it may be fiddly, so you may need to try multiple times to walk in to the area.) If done correctly, a nymph will appear at the north of the map, asking you a question. Answer 13 flames and youll get a precious chest and the achievement Chirping Secret: Fleetfoot Paradox.Strife Ruins Castrum Kremnos F3On the wall.Strife Ruins Castrum Kremnos F2In the pile of boxes.Attack the shields on the wall to get this nymph.On the railing.On the edge of the structure.On the lip of the bowl-like decor.On the mural.Strife Ruins Castrum Kremnos F1On the wall carving.Near the rubble.Overlooking the edge of the chain bridge.On the sword in the base.On the floor.Very high up on a light fixture.

Once you find them all, youll get Stellar Jade, the Portentous Goldwoven: Abyss of Fate item, and Celestial Ambrosia.After grabbing all the nymphs, the quest item you get will reveal a fourth of the puzzle solution for the tablet in the southeast corner of Janusopolis F2. Once you correctly input the solution to the Crrk? prophecy tablet, youll get a precious chest and the achievement Chirping Secret: Many-Faced.Abyss of Fire Janusopolis nymph locations F2On the broken pillar (evernight).On the wall (evernight).On the bridge (dawn).On the edge of the path.Under the pillar on the ground.On the left scale (dawn).On the floor (dawn).In the back compartment behind the right scale on the third floor (dawn).On the top of the center part of the scales. Use the hand mechanism to grab it.In the hood of the tall statue.After finding all the nymphs, you can return to the Garmentmaker in Okhema, but they wont have any additional rewards for you at this time. They will be looking at the wall around the nearby lift, murmuring about the nymphs lining up to a hidden message, but as of this writing, we havent figured out what that means.

  • How to solve the Crrk? prophecy tablet in Honkai: Star Rail
    www.polygon.com
    As you hunt down prophecy tablets and other puzzles around Amphoreus in Honkai: Star Rail, youll find one with no prompt shown on the left side though, saying Crrk? This tablet is in Janusopolis, in the room where the Trailblazer and Dan Heng first crash landed on Amphoreus.Your character will note that it likely has to do with creation nymphs which is correct. Collecting the nymphs will show you a slice of the solution. However, even without doing this, you can brute force the puzzle by just putting in the right answer. That said, even the rewards for collecting the nymph doesnt show the full puzzle. It only shows a quadrant of it, and youll need to collect the other pieces from players to actually put together the solution. (Again, you dont have to. You can just input the puzzle solution as displayed below.)This follows a line of somewhat complex puzzles that are part of Amphoreus nymphs collection, like the nymphs hidden message in Okhema. If you dont care about any of that and you just want the goods, we have the solution to the Crrk? prophecy tablet in Honkai: Star Rail below.Crrk? prophecy tablet solution in Honkai: Star RailNote that you technically dont need to do these steps in any specific order, as long as the pieces are in the correct space. We numbered our solution just to match up with the gallery above.Drag the top diamond on to the left side of the middle square.Move the left triangle to the bottom left of the square, so half of it is on top of the square.Move the top triangle (the upper half of the square at the bottom) to the bottom half of the center square.Move the bottom triangle (the lower half of what used to be a square at the bottom) on top of the triangle you just placed.Move the remaining right triangle on the top right of the center square, so half of it is on top of the square.For your troubles, youll get the usual bounty of 30 Stellar Jade, 300 credits, and 60 Celestial Ambrosia. Youll also get the Abyss of Fate Hymn Tablet mission item and the achievement Chirping Secret: Many-Faced.
