HoLylolCaTs Posted January 11 Report Posted January 11 Does the university have any lore significance? It's much further away from anywhere I've traveled before, so I'm hesitant to make the journey. Already have the elk, so it'll be an easier trip, but I genuinely haven't been able to find anything about it. No videos, nothing on the wiki, no prior post here. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places? Any kind of answer would be cool.
LadyWYT Posted January 11 Report Posted January 11 Welcome to the forums! Which university are you talking about? I'm assuming you've done the Resonance Archive, as the elk can't be achieved until after it's completed. But just in case: Resonance Archive: This is the first chapter of the main story; you'll need to find a treasure hunter, ask him about interesting places, and then complete the resulting quest to get a map to this place. Once you've completed the Archive, you can go back to the treasure hunter to describe your adventure, and receive clues to chapter two. It's also at this time he'll sell you the elk. Chapter Two: There are four different locations for chapter two, each one with its own significance in lore. Chapter two is quite the trip and quite different from the content of chapter one as well. The treasure hunter will give you the clue to find the first location. The wiki also has a bit of a walkthrough for each location, though despite being barebones right now it does contain some major spoilers. One important thing I will note about the trip though--it's a much longer trip than the Archive, so make sure you stay on top of your inventory management and pack whatever you think you might need. You may also want to pack some extra temporal gears to reset your spawn as well, as there are a couple of challenges that are quite difficult. It's also a trip you really only need to make once, as subsequent trips will be much shorter, though I will not say how.
HoLylolCaTs Posted January 11 Author Report Posted January 11 (edited) replying to LadyWYT: For reference, I'm running a creative game on the regular map generation, but doing things "as i should" (ex. finding the treasure trader, walking to the archive, etc.). I'm also playing on 1.20.0-rc.8 I can't remember what trader I talked to anymore because I'm several hours in, but they gave me a map to the university after I gave them a large intact globe. I may just head to there anyway and investigate, since I can't find anything on it. Though the wiki is barebones, I found it odd that a location you get a map for wasn't on it. (Edit: Yes, I do understand creative will be taken as "cheating" or "not doing things right". I just thought I'd state how I'm playing in case I've managed to do things out of order, or not as I should have been) Edited January 11 by HoLylolCaTs

Ah, that would be why it's not on the wiki: there's no location like that in the vanilla game. Are you playing with mods? As I recall, I think there was a quest like that added by the Better Ruins mod, though I never completed it. I think the trader in question was a luxuries merchant as well, though I'm not entirely sure. In any case, if you've got the map, you can probably just head to the location and see what's there. Unfortunately I can't offer further information than that regarding the location. But I do recall Better Ruins being a high quality mod. So if you enjoy exploring, you shouldn't be disappointed. 7 hours ago, HoLylolCaTs said: (Edit: Yes, I do understand creative will be taken as "cheating" or "not doing things right".

I've used creative a few times in my own worlds to test things, as well as fix mistakes. As for the vanilla story, I think it is technically possible to do the chapters out of order, but it's highly unlikely to happen due to how the script is designed and locations are placed.

I only *just* downloaded better ruins, so I wouldn't have figured this would be part of it. Though I would say that my confusion was defineily compounded by not finding a mention of my find anywhere (including videos about the mod!) Ty for the solution, I feel like an idiot now. 1
