I wonder if they actually intended to poo poo out an aranara radar or whatever at some point. There's no way you're just going to find this rear end in a top hat, on a branch in that tree that port ormos has grown out of by chance. It's not even one of the musical ones, not that the visual effect would help you when it's that high up.

On the plus side, on the way to the last one on the list that someone linked a page or two ago, I found the sole reason why you can expand those rock things beyond the normal "hit it with dendro" height. I'm sure maybe one somewhere is useful for the tiny bit of height, but this puzzle seems to be the only one of its kind. Baffling.

Well, at least now I've taken all that one aranara's stuff, so that's done and dusted. Thank god.

There's at least a second one somewhere in the overworld with a bunch of them spread wide by a bunch of tree sigils that go on when they're tall, and you have to spit a lot of lightning to get them all tall together.

Couldn't tell you where to save my life though. Just one more for the pile.

Mopsy, I'm starting to question your medical credentials.

Is there any way to tell when you hit different adventure ranks? I think the only things with dates associated with them in the game are achievements, which is annoying. I want to know what AR I managed to get up to while playing exclusively as Jean and treating the entire rest of my party as superfluous.

The issue I've been running into with those little shits have been the ones on the towers. There's been some where I'll hit the lens with electro, but I still can't find them at all. And I know I haven't collected them. So I have no idea what I'm missing at times.

in hyperbloom, dendro characters are like xingqiu: just there to apply elements, and they do that the same regardless of any gear, so you might as well build for dps with crit and damage goblets and stuff, as long as they have enough ER to burst consistently. (for nahida that's 0ER but for DMC/collei it's more important iirc). but if you were dirt poor and forced to only give artifacts to 2/4 party members, you could skip them and things would still work out alright
in quicken teams, you definitely want crit since it improves the Spread reaction damage. both dendros and electros want to build for dps in that team since both get reactions

I was absolutely shocked to find that I had a tower which not only did I not find the aranara at, but I also hadn't done the little withering thing. So with the experience fresh in my mind:

1. If there's an aranara, there'll be a message about them (assuming you've got the thing in electro mode)
2. They'll have a little circle around them. It might only do that if they're within view, but not quite centered.
3. I'm almost positive that there's at least one where the little bastard was hiding behind you on the platform.
4. They're kind enough to leave two sparkly investigation spots on the platform after you've found them (pretty sure this is an absolute); so if there's two spots on the platform, you probably just forgot you found them already. God I wish the rest of them did, so I wouldn't have to spend ages wandering around largely featureless plains and river basins trying to sort out what a screenshot with absolutely no commentary is trying to direct me to.

this feels a bit like fearmongering because those models have 'wic' because they're the only ones to receive changes/updates in general. it doesnt necessarily imply censorship.

Wouldn't they just treat him like Mona and basically give two outfits to non-CN players? Unless there's something about how they implement a playable character that would mean he can't just use the existing design.

I was about to say, yeah. What's "WIC" supposed to stand for, anyway? It probably has something to do with being updated or reworked more generally, rather than specifically censored. I feel like you'd probably name your files a little more euphemistically.

Okay, because I've been away for so long I don't want to Google this in case there are spoilers.

I know I unlocked the earth mode for Traveler and used it for a while but I forgot how to switch back and forth.

go to a Statue of the Seven in the relevant area and "resonate" with the element to switch to it

And for some reason you have to do it with the Traveller as your active party member, specifically.

Additionally, when you get constellation items to boost the Traveler, either from the statue or from some other source, you need to be in that elemental mode to use them.

also you can walk over to sumeru and unlock the grass mode for the traveler if you want, theres no restrictions on that like how you have to be ar30 and go through the story to get to the electricity country (inazuma)

Technically, Snezhnaya I think is the most tech advanced in terms of military, and Fontaine is just a weird Bioshock land that's way higher on consumer tech tree than it should be for the larger setting?
