Alright, where's the Necronomicon?

[BuddySloth]

I admit defeat. I can't find the thing anywhere. Is unlocking this guy really dependent on randomly stumbling across a piece of rare loot, or is there something proactive I can actually do to produce the book? Have I got it all wrong?

Hunting down the other unlockable characters has been a fun adventure in and of itself, but I can't help but think that this last one has less to do with me accomplishing a challenge and more to do with me just being lucky.

i think you find it in desert tombs but don't quote me on that though

[BuddySloth]

Ah hah! I've been focusing on shrines, mostly. It makes sense that it'd be in a tomb, but I've only ever found jewels and mummies there. I'll try to refocus on deserts next time.

Edit: Still no luck for me so far, after running several Freya Stark games. I've become very well acquainted with the unique problems associated with mummies, however. So that's fun. If I were to make a suggestion, it would be to change the requirements for unlocking this character; it feels like I'm doing scratch-off lottery tickets, except each ticket takes about a half hour to scratch. It feels like there's very little I can do to mitigate the luck factor here.

Unless, again, I've misunderstood something and I'm wasting my time going about it all wrong.

Shrines are actually a good place to look for them, also caves and treasure maps.

Welp, I suppose it doesn't matter much now, because all of my unlocks and progress have been mysteriously cleared away at some point between the last time I booted up the game earlier today, and when I just booted it up now.

I guess these are the pitfalls of playing Early Access games.

Oh, you too ? Yup, it happened on my two different computers, so... well, it's a new beginning again :D

And I should try a bit more treasures hunts. That's the sole pist I don't explored much for necronomicon.

I know I'm a little late in the game, but nearly 50 hours into playing and I found the damn thing.

I might be thinking too much into it, but I would imagine that the book would always be in the possesion of dead explorers, i.e caves or shipwrecks. I found mine in a shipwreck. My reasoning is that most Lovecraft protagonists in his stories find ancient relics in the possesion of other people, rather than buried in the dessert.

Again, I might be thinking too much into it, and it could spawn totally random for all I really know.
