Mission Towers

[Sis010]

The mission towers are gone, are they?

I came across the meg, which I did shoot, with all of my 10 arrows I had ha ha ha and it followed me to one of my islands (ruuuun awaaaaaay)

But are the towers gone?

I tried to look for the answer, I do apologize if I missed the post :(

What does "I ha ha ha ha and it followed me to my island" mean? They don't follow you to islands. If you go a short ways from the mission starting point, they reset, they don't follow you to islands. Sounds like you're telling fish tales. Busted.

@sugarland24

No, I meant I shot with 'all of my 10 arrows'. (Sarcasm)

I didn't kill it, I just got a reaction from the meg. It was at a carcass, I saw it when I went to look for a mission tower.

So, I panicked and went back to my island (the raft has a motor), then I when I looked back it was behind the raft ha ha

The yellow/orange square things that show up near a boss hung around the Island as well, in the morning (in game) they were gone and when I went back with the raft, the meg was there again at the carcass.

Which is why I asked, what happened with the Mission towers, I didn't find any, just the boss.


(and btw, please refrain from being a tit if you misunderstand a post. Just ask for clarification instead or something, sheesh.)

yes the towers are gone, you just have to find where they would be located from now on, which in the case of the Eel i find a lot better because that sunken battleship was just way too awesome for something that barely sticks around

That explains what happened.

I felt brave enough to finally go check out how long it would take to reach a tower from my main island, but didn't see them anymore. Just came across the meg and I was so not prepared ha ha!

I looked back at the video (as I recorded it) and I can't tell if the shark that popped up behind my raft (whilst fleeing) is the meg or a tiger shark.

I hadn't seen any sharks for a week so imagine my surprise ^_^

Thank you for your reply!

(I have yet to see that sunken battleship, it has taken me quite some hours before becoming braver and braver tbh)

So that's what those things were. I was getting ready to explore one right as the update hit and they were all gone when I restarted my world.

Yeah, same. I was finally brave enough haha

wait....the seaforts are gone? I stop playing for a few days and things go screwy again. I haven't even finished the Squid yet. Need more harpoons.


So how do you start a mission now? Squiddy's Bouy is a tiny thing to look for in the vast ocean.

More to the point....with no seafort..how will I park my big ass raft?

I can't answer the parking bit, but I just came across the meg when looking for the towers. I used to see them on the horizon and I went looking... alas.

The bosses are still there though, you just have to look for them I guess. I am going to try the meg later and reccord my nervous ass doing so.

For the Megalodon, it's easy. Just go and disturb his lunch. For the other two bosses, that may be a problem. The Squid, and Eel triggers... to get them to pop up after taking the mission is to dive deep. I.E. Follow the bouy's chain to wake up Big Eyes, or for Mr. Moray go into the sunken battleship and get a nasty slimy surprise.

It's all doable even without the forts, Bit hard, but can still be done. The problem is....Ocean currents. You leave your raft floating in deep water to dive....when you surface, it's 100 meters away.


Wouldn't that be fun when you're being chased by a giant sea creature?



That's why sea forts are important, You can lodge the raft on its foundations and park it there. Providing you a stable safe zone. Until the Big uglies drag you down to deep water anyway. I wonder how it can be done now?

I have an Idea, but pretty sure I'm not gonna like it.


Good luck Meg hunting. ^^

[Sis010]

@Xynth I think I'll skip the deep diving bits ha ha

[Catnip Gemini]

There's a Megalodon in it now? Woah! I have to find it.

He's not very big ... but he's kinda mean haha

[Catnip Gemini]

Yeah I bet he is. Ha

[S.H.I.V.]

I think that's just an angry Great white. Since Jaws is copyrighted, the named it Megalodon. Real Megalodons should be around the size of that whale.


Speaking of which, I still have to find that big sea mammal.


Diving is fun. The underwater graphics and sounds of this game is very realistic. It's the closest thing I can experience until my next vacation. Just be mindful of sharks :) or craft and use a shark repellant. Peaceful diving for 10 irl min or so.


@Sis010 - Go Cod and Bass Spear Fishing it's how you train yourself to get over the fear of the deep sea. First hunt all the tigers and whites in a nearby Island (or yours...if you did not use any custom maps) by building a second base and hunting docks. Once sharks are clear, peaceful diving is available. Seems like sharks don't respawn, but they can be pulled to an "empty" zone, if they followed you on your way via raft.

[Sis010]

@Xynth, yeah exactly. I am just taking my time and focus on farming and the likes. I am getting better at exploring the sea. I did come across a whale once, I thought it was excellent!
