Custom effigies?

[Chris]

How do we build them? Only found armor rack and scarecrow in the build book and no idea how to build the custom effigy. Anyone knows anything about it in detail?

[Bunker]

in the forest the effigies where one of the last updates. due to the boring nature of them i would imagine

[Chris]

Nah, in TF effigies were always a thing from (not too sure anymore) day 1. They were part of the blueprint book and the ones you refer to are the special effigies you could unlock by finishing the game with the alternative ending.

However I would like to know how the new update 06 custom effigies in SoTF are meant to be built because I couldn't find any information so far.

Going by the patch notes it sounds like you use body parts , but haven't had a chance to play yet.

Place down a stick, attach sticks to that stick, attach body parts to those sticks in any orientation. From my limited testing it appears you can make effigies as large as you want, given you have enough limbs.

Indeed! But it only seems to work with severed body parts, right?
And also can only be extended in one length, not like ok, let me add this leg and then another leg so it sticks out from that first leg, right?

I appreciate the effigy system. Hopefully we can find a bit more peace when working on our construction projects. I was hoping that they'd bring back cannibals actively building effigies around the map to mark their territory. Maybe down the line.

So far, from what I could tell, you place a stick on the ground then I brought out a cannibal head. I had to look upwards a little higher than the stick for a different placement to start building custom effigies. Otherwise, all I can do is place a head and that's it.

[Bunker]

no legs?

[Caramell Sundoffe]

Try eating cooked limbs, that's how you unlocked the recipes for the effigy in the first game.

Okay, I figured it out from that description. Place a stick and then you add something other than a head to the top, another stick or, in the image below, an arm or leg and keep attaching body parts or sticks to that

EDIT: a great way to store "ingredients" for chicken noodle soup and Greg!

Cannibals store themselves perfectly well on my spike wall lol. Never short on Greg.

It's winter now, so I made a festive tree...

Not sure the cannibal in the distance (slightly to the right of the "tree") fully appreciates the decorations I have provided.

My friend and I put a fence around a bonfire in a cannibal camp and we put heads in them (this was before custom effigies).

Needless to say, when I came back, they tried to take them down by ramming into them.

you can attach torches to them too. Planning on making a lit pathway between my bases using Effigies with torches lol.

Now that's something new. I was trying to figure out if you could light them on fire and that can work.
