Pine All Vault walkthrough + Orb location + Achievement guide

Guide contains: Amphiscus Orb locations. Walkthrough for all 3 puzzle Vaults. Guide about achievements and how to get them. Droolica and faster resource gathering information. Update 15/11/19: 6 new achievements arrived with patch.

Game related hints/tips and completion time

Perfection time of the game: about 20hours, but this can be a bit more, depends how much you want to explore.

You can progress a lot in the game before earning the first achievement so don't be afraid to try it, even if you care about your AVGC:-)

Hints/Tips:
-After you start the game progress on the quests instead of exploring until you find Grob. He is offering rewards for turning in Amphiscus orbs and the first reward for 5 orbs will double your inventory size.
-if you badly need a resource and it is a rare one (for example Baegelit) it is better just to stay a good location where there are 2-3 resource can be obtained and wait. Resources respawn every 3-6 minutes, depends on rarity.
-combat against faction enemies sometimes hard, sometimes overhelming as enemies keep coming. Getting loot is sometimes easier if you let 2 factions fight each other and loot up the deads instead fighting by yourself (eventually you can kill the damaged winners too)
-once you have 40 item slots it is advised to keep max 1stack of nongatherable resources/material as they are harder to collect and sometimes RNG to get them. Highly suggested to keep "randomracenemeinserthere" essences for later use.

Hollow Mountain / Dune Observatory / Ancient Stables walkthrough

Fast, no commentary walkthrough of all 3 vaults. Hollow mountain start: 0:01 Ancient Stables start: 12:24 Dune Observatory start: 22:46:

Zap Away

Find the Conducting Lantern Outfinding.

This item found in Hollow Mountain Vault.

The main quest will send you to explore "vaults". In the one which is located at Telkin Pass you can find the conducting lantern. After exploring the first vault you need to do A LOT of quests before being able to enter the second vault and the same happens between the second and the third vault.
This item allows you to use the small blue diamond-shaped object which has some lightning effects on it. These object start lifts/elevators/platforms. I believe you see such things already before reaching this part of the game and wondered how to use them:-) You can enter the Vault once upgraded the village at its location.

Location of Telkin Pass:

See Ahead

Find the Scouting Lens Outfinding.

This item is found in Dune Observatory vault.

The main quest will send you to explore "vaults". In the one which is located at Dry Bay you can find the Scouting Lens Outfinding. This vault is called Dune Observatory. After exploring the first vault you need to do A LOT of quests before being able to enter the second vault and the same happens between the second and the third vault.

Riding Off + the effect of tamed pets

Find the Taming Bands Outfinding.

This item found in Ancient Stables vault. Check the video for a fast, goal oriented, no commentary walkthrough.

The main quest will send you to explore "vaults". In the one which is located at Soggy Woodlands you can find the Taming Bands Outfinding. This vault is called The Ancient Stable. After exploring the first vault you need to do A LOT of quests before being able to enter the second vault and the same happens between the second and the third vault.

The Taming Bands allows you to tame critters. These what the critters are useable for:
Alphaphant: You can use these as mount to travel faster without losing energy.
Bleeker: The only monster on the island and it is used for combat.

Waddletooth: You can find piles around the island:
A tamed waddletooth will dig these piles out for you and these, which providing you some extra items/resources.

Fashionista

Gather all gear created by species.

After the first vault, before the second vault you need to do one quest for each of the faction and so you need to be allied with them once. Use this time to visit Tier C and Tier B village of each faction/race to buy all the required recipes. After the second vault, it requires MUCH MORE resources to change relationships. Before the third vault, after you beat a very strong enemy on the top of Mt. Telkin during "A Chilling Affair" quest, you will become hostile with ALL race/faction so this achievement will become impossible if you have not purchased the recipes previously.

Grob will give you quests for delivering him Amphiscus Orbs. Check orb locations at the appropriate guide part. The first 5 unlocks more inventory slots (from 10 to 20), then the next 25 unlocks even more inventory slots (from 20 to 40).

Getting these items from Grob not enough for the achievement as there are an axe and a shield too. You need to craft both and the recipes found during The Pact storyline quest.

Keyholder (key graphite locations)

Gather all Key Graphite you can find on the island.

Take This (chest locations)

Open all Albamare chests in the open world.

You can see the chest locations on the map. Many of them require one, or more items from the vaults, so probably better to leave this for the endgame.

I have a bug with Fashionista achievement. I am just before the second vault, get most of equipment, but I have no Skull Leg Braces and Skull Arm Braces, no recipts for them, and can't buy them in any Krocker village. What to do?

[Pastor of Muppets]

FWIW, you don't need a Hop Brew to get the Clash Mixture idea the short way. You can Shift-W (sprint) + Space (jump) to reach the platform once you shoot the target.

Here's an absolutely useless tip: Press and hold C to sit down.

Here's a helpful one: Hold W while pressing E to loot multiple items. This will GREATLY speed up the process. In other words, when you're running around in the world looting things, don't stop and then press E to loot. Run up on the item and without letting go of W, hit E. If there are several items within reach, you will stop and loot all of them almost instantaneously. This is very useful to know when you want to loot a pile of stuff quickly within range of enemies or when looting all of the arrows that drop from crates in the caves.

[RCL]

I'm not sure, but maybe the achievements Fashionista, Carpenter, and Potion Master are somewhat missable.
If you fail to pick up the optional Ideas during the main quest, they might despawn on loading the game and become unavailable.
At least that happened to some people in the past with other optional Ideas granted by quests (though I'd consider this as a bug).

[Csontzuzo]

Depends what you mean under missable. You can continue to play (or it was possible when i played) once story finished so you can grab missed key graphites, chests etc. So there is nothing which should you to force to replay the game from start.

[An Actual Cat]

are there any missable achievements ?

[RCL]

I'm not sure if it's still the case but in the past there were one or two spots where the Key Graphite was a bit underground and not visible.
You might have picked up one Key Graphite spot, but didn't see the other one next to it. If you recheck the places, look for the green glow. If there are still fireflys, there is still an item.

[RoiDesCastors]

I know, I did, but I must have made a mistake somewhere. Maybe missed one key graphite and marked it as "visited" because I didn't see it.

[Csontzuzo]

Hi RoiDesCastrors, the interactive map is very helpful for that, as you can mark spots "visited" and so it won't shop up on map if set up that filter option.

[RoiDesCastors]

Thanks for this guide. I'm mortified as I just finished checking every single graphite key location in the game and... I'm missing 1... so yeah, sadness.

[Csontzuzo]

Cave Dweller achievement is fixed with todays patch.
