You can encounter Witch Islands once you progress enough in Voidtrain.
These islands all challenge you with one of three puzzle types, and will greatly reward you if you manage to solve their mysteries.
In this guide, we’ll tell you what you need to do to unlock and find these islands.
Witch Islands Location in Voidtrain
The Witch Islands can only be found once you have researched the Winch and Throwing Rings technologies, which are unlocked as Phase 7 of Research.
You will need the following materials for both items’ research:
Iron Bars x4: obtained by refining Scrap Metal at the Smelter.
Forcers x2: made at the Workbench, each one requires 1 Iron Bar and 1 Grease. You get Grease by refining Fat and Chemicals at a Lab.
Bolts x2: made at a Workbench, each one requires 1 Iron Bar.
Complete the research and craft the items, which will require you to get the materials again. You might also want to craft more than one set of Throwing Rings, just to be safe.
Once you’ve completed the research, the islands will start appearing. They can be found along the train’s path, usually marked by a series of fireflies near debris.
Fireflies are small white flying bugs that fly in clusters. If you see them near debris, they’re leading you toward one of the Witch Islands!
Use your newly obtained Throwing Rings and Winch to grapple onto the debris and follow the fireflies. The fog will obscure your vision, but just keep following the clusters of fireflies.
You will eventually notice sets of structures in the distance, such as trees and houses. That’s the Witch Island, so just continue making your way toward it!
Congrats, you should’ve made your way to one of the Witch Islands now! Solve their puzzles to get rewarded with a chest containing many helpful resources.
Venezuelan gamer cursed by being interested by most games, resulting in a ridiculous backlog he’ll never be able to conquer. Been gaming for over two decades now! Few things exemplify his wide variety in gaming tastes as the fact that he’s a big fan of both Souls games and the Atelier series at the same time. Also a big fan of Yakuza/Like a Dragon, Deadly Premonition, Zero Escape, and Dead Rising, among others. Considers Lost Judgment and Sekiro to both be masterpieces.
