The Cycle Frontier: How Long Do Storms Last and How to Survive?
Storms are one of the random events that can affect worlds in The Cycle: Frontier. This guide shows how long they last, how to survive them and the advantages to staying in affected areas.
Storms are an event that can happen randomly several times. Whenever they are about to happen, the game will warn you. This is your chance to evac, if you don’t want to deal with them. Alternatively, you can find some place to bunker down during the storm. But there’s many benefits to weathering the storms, so here’s some tips on how to survive them and reap the benefits.
How Long Do Storms Last in The Cycle: Frontier
The duration of them seems to be somewhat randomized, though they are about 5 minutes long on average. Some might last less, while others might be a tad longer. Ultimately, however, they’re not much longer or shorter than 5 minutes. Keep that in mind when thinking about trying to survive them.
How to Survive Storms in The Cycle: Frontier
As said previously, you are warned before storms happen. Keep in mind that you can not evac after a storm has already started. Now, let’s go over how to survive a storm if you choose to stay.
First off, you have to watch out for lightning. This is the main way in which storms can kill you. If you are bunkered down under a roof, lightning can’t hit you. But if you’re out in the open, you’ll notice a red ball of electricity start to form at your feet randomly.
When you notice this, quickly get away from the radius of the electricity. While this electricity itself doesn’t do any damage, it’s there to show that lightning will hit in a couple seconds. Lightning can be fatal. Just make sure to keep an eye out for the indicators and avoid the lightning.
Advantages to Weathering Storms
The main advantage to weathering storms in The Cycle: Frontier is that there is a lot less players during them, simply put. New players can not spawn in the map while a storm is going on and most players choose to evac out after the warning. This means that the few that do remain are free to explore and loot without the threat of other players.
On top of the lower player count in areas affected by storms, the mobs also seem to drop better loot on average. This is one way for the game to reward players that decide to stay and it’s definitely something to keep in mind.
Finally, there are also glowy mushroom materials spawning during storms. These can be used to craft combat stims which heal for 30 HP. Though they ultimately aren’t all that worthwhile, compared to the other benefits on the storm. They’re more like an extra bonus.
Since high school, I’ve loved playing the Assassin’s Creed games because I’ve learned so much about history from them. It’s the best feeling to study while having fun, and the Assassin’s Creed games take us from the Holy Land in Altair’s story to the British Isles with our Viking brothers. Even if we have “Eagle Vision,” there are times in this game when we must solve riddles or locate hints in order to obtain legendary armor. If this sounds like you, don’t worry—we’ll be here to help you uncover those hints so you may obtain the legendary Saint George armor and weapons!
The River Severn’s Treasures
Finding two of Saint George’s fabled armor pieces is the main goal of Treasures of the River Severn. They must be located somewhere along the river.
They are reportedly in big military installations. You might be possible to finish some of the tasks for the quest The Legacy of Saint George while raiding the River Severn in pursuit of Saint George’s armor.
In River Severn, there are two pieces of armor to find. Saint George’s Braces and Saint George’s Trousers are the two pieces of armor. Since they randomly spawn at different points of location with each gameplay, their precise positions cannot be determined.
Although it is more likely that they would be in the Eastern Fortification, Island Camp, and Lowlands Camp.
Saint George’s Legacy
Finding hints concerning the whereabouts of the missing parts of Saint George’s legendary armor is the major goal of the quest The Legacy of Saint George.
According to reports, they reside in monasteries along the rivers Exe and Severn. You can finish this quest while also completing Treasures of the River Exe and Treasures of the River Severn (on your Quest Tab.)
It is only a matter of searching the entire area since there is only one Monastery on the River Exe.
The building that is furthest from the water is where you’d expect to find the clue. The clue is sitting on a table in the room’s corner as soon as you enter the building through the door.
The other loot that spawns inside this building will determine whether or not it is guarded.
There are two monasteries on the River Severn. The Northern Monastery, which is located in the northeastern portion of the map, has the answers.
The main chapel’s side room has the clue, and the only way to get there is through a locked outer door. Take down the guards in the chapel’s main hall by entering. An iron grate divides the chapel’s side room from the main space.
To remove the door’s bar, fire through the grate. After that, leave the chapel and go inside the adjacent chamber to get the clue.
The order in which you get these hints is irrelevant. You will be instructed to give the final clue back to Vagn at the River Raid Dock after you have found it.
You can either leave the raid at this point or carry on. Somewhere along the river you are raiding, there may be objectives for additional missions that can be finished.
River Dee’s Treasures
Discovering two of Saint George’s fabled armor pieces is the main goal of Treasures of the River Dee. They are reportedly in significant military installations near the river.
You can find Saint George’s Armor someplace in the Hillview Outpost. The Wealth boxes in each location will appear in random areas with each game, making it impossible to pinpoint their precise placement within the outpost. A sizable military outpost, the Hillview Outpost.
Saint George’s Great Helm can be found in Deebury. Its exact location within the fort cannot be specified, because the Wealth chests in each location will spawn in different locations with each playthrough. Deebury is a mid-size military location.
Saint George’s Sword
A “fearsome champion” who resides somewhere in the River Dee castle is claimed to be in possession of the Sword of Saint George. To get the sword, you must locate and vanquish this champion.
The Deva Victrix castle, at the far end of the River Dee, is where the champion can be located. The largest fortification in River Raids is this one.
It starts at the river’s bank and climbs the mountain to a tower covered in ice and in disrepair.
The fortress is closely watched. Get to the old tower at the summit by fighting your way past the barriers.
You will come upon a door that needs to be forced open after you reach the ice-covered tower. When the door is forced open, a brief cutscene of the champion brandishing The Sword of Saint George will begin.
The battle starts once the cutscene concludes. Be prepared to avoid since the champion will quickly charge and lunge with the sword.
His attack in battle is this. The area is constrained, making it impossible to back up for long-range shots. Your crew will enter the conflict. This will provide you chances to assault the champion while he is preoccupied.
Confirm the kill once the champion has been eliminated to get Saint George’s Holy Sword.
The mission The Sword of Saint George and the River’s quest arc will now be complete.
