Horn hermit?

[xblkdragonx]

Sooo how does the horn hermit work? After I clear the dock portal, I've built the horn on the outer most iron wall and put a coin on it. I stay with the horn for 2-3 game days aaaand the knights are never summoned to the side with horn.

SOME times I get the knights and archers from the other side to come running over, but I want to say 95% of the time they're idling around on the other side still.

Can someone explain to me exactly how it's supposed to work?

The Knights never come to the other side, only the free-roaming archers, as far as I can tell.

False ive had all my knights come to one side, you need to pay for the horn every 20s, but for some reason they dont want to stay during the bood moon

But the coin just stays up top. It doesn't get used or disappear. So to summon the knights, I pay a coin, after 20 sec, move away and let the coin drop, and then pay with the same coin again? Seems kind of like an odd mechanic.

oh no. If it isn't dissapearing thats a bug I've seen before. Usually it can fix when you leave the game and come back. However it that doesn't work I'm not to sure. However I've only seen this with tool racks on Co-Op so if you could specify what happened.

I play this on Co-op and this could possibly be what's happening. The coin just stays up on my head when I pay for the horn, but I'm not the one hosting the game. Perhaps if my friend paid for the horn, it might work. We can try that out, see if the host can use the horn.

That is how I see the horn working so far:

You pay a coin to the horn and all yours knights and archers go to that horn (both of side go to the active horn).
However, they only begin to move to the horn at nightfall (at the moment when the archers go to behind the wall).
They stay on that horn until the end of the night, after that they walk back to the original place.
1 coin = 1 night on that horn (it's not accumulative).


Therefore, if you activated the horn during morning your archers / knights will only begin to move at nightfall.

If the walls are too far away from each other is possible the archers / knights won't be able to reach the horn before the night ends, making the horn partially useless.

Partially because they run to the horn at night and walk to the original place in the morning (some archers run), so you can make they reach the wall if you activate the horn during multiple days.
