Custom level apples do not count towards the achievement, otherwise it would have taken only five minutes to get. I suggest using pen and paper to track which apples you have swept and you do not need to finish the level for the progress to be saved. ![]() There are more than 50 apples within the game, however, I choose this path for faster completion.

![]() The platform will spawn in front of you here if you stand on the rocks. Turn away from this and look out over the edge into the mists. There should be a doorway in the wall to the left when coming off the bridge. Pass through the Oracle room and then follow the path out the back until you reach the second to last bridge. From the Divalian Mist, head towards the Oracle temple, passing through the blue tunnel. The next chest is hidden away in the Spine of Keres. From there the platforms will circle the room, meaning you’ll need to climb up and up until they eventually head outside the door, high in the air. As you enter the vestibule and walk forwards to the next door, as long as you have the ascendant buff active the first platform will appear in front of you on the left side of the door. Make your way there and enter the building, ignoring the enemies. The second Hidden Riches chest is located near the Blind Well. The platforms will appear on the right of the rocks, and you’ll only need a couple of jumps to reach the chest. Drive across the lake to the clump of rocks and climb up. Make your way there (it’s behind the Divalian Mists fast travel point) and head inside then out to the right in the lake area. Your first stop on the journey to all ten Hidden Riches Ascendant Chests is the Bay of Drowned Wishes Lost Sector. Hidden Riches Ascendant Chests Hidden Riches Ascendant Chest 1 ![]() Thanks to our friends at Shacknews for use of their wonderful chest location gifs. We’ll update this guide as the locations for each set are discovered. So far we have the locations of all chests in the Hidden Riches, Bolder Fortunes and War Chests sets, but more are on the way soon! Again, if you miss out on a particular set, you’ll need to wait for it to cycle round again in a future week. ![]() The buff only lasts 30 minutes, so make sure you have enough Tincture of Queensfoil to resupply yourself if needed.Īs mentioned above, the Ascendant Chests come in different location sets. You need to have the Ascendance buff applied in order for the platforms leading to the chests to appear. (Psst! Looking for Toland? We have a guide to his location in Destiny 2: Forsaken… ) All Ascendant Chest locationsīefore you begin the hunt for chests, it’s worth noting that you won’t be able to access any of them without using a Tincture of Queensfoil. Anyone who manages to find all of the chests each week will be given a new Triumph. Don’t worry if you miss out on a certain set as eventually they’ll be used again in a future week. The locations of the chests is reset each week, rotating between a few different spawn locations. One of the toughests sets to hunt down is the Ascendant Chests, thanks to many of them being tucked away in some pretty hard to access areas. If you’ve been exploring Destiny 2’s Dreaming City, you’ll know that there are plenty of secrets hidden across the eerie landscape. The twin rifles feel useful right up until I get the more powerful minigun that drains their ammo pool at a higher damage rate. This is compounded by the fact that each gun shares their ammunition type with two others, eliminating any reason to use the two weaker variants. Ten weapons is just too many to try and swap between when they don’t all quite feel useful. It also would have been nice for some kind of restrictions on the armory that can be taken into each stage. (Namely the pistol, grenade launcher, and standard shotgun). The balance feels slightly off, as I found little reason to use a handful of the guns after better options were unlocked. The armory is quite generic, but fitting with the game’s theme, each gun feels excellently weighty and satisfying to handle. The game cribs the alternate fire mechanic of Doom 2016, allowing for extended depth in each arm, of which there are roughly ten right now. The weapon choice is incomplete in early access but superb all the same. Fights are hectic as hell itself, and I often find myself sprinting around a room at lightning speed, desperately switching weapons as I fire at seemingly endless waves of bloody monsters and evil beings. The upshot of this unfortunate design choice, however, is that these tried-and true archetypes work great in practice. Even the pinky demon and cacodemon clones refuse to stray away from their obvious inspirations. Zombie soldiers, impish fireball-tossing monsters, and lost soul-adjacent spirits fill the early hours of the game. The enemies themselves are a tad too similar to Doom’s bestiary for my taste, however. Each time I fire even the starting pistol feels like the first, and a smart sprite dismemberment system reminiscent of Hotline Miami ensures that the enemies properly react to getting peppered full of holes. ![]() Prodeus is fast and mean, with intense action, speedy movement, and endlessly satisfying gunplay. Each track hits harder than the last, and the way in which they react to the player’s actions is chilling to experience. The dynamic heavy metal soundtrack also deserves a heap of praise as possibly some of the best music to ever be included in a video game. ![]() The most immediately recognizable change is Prodeus’s innovative art style that combines classic sprites with complex 3D lighting, particle, and blood effects to create a palpable and intricate mural upon which the player can engage in boundless acts of demon violence. ![]() There are nearly no novel mechanics or ideas presented here rather, much like Ion Fury did back in 2018 - it merely presents a smoothly polished and competently designed shooter that truly understands it’s audience. The best thing about Prodeus is it’s disinterest in elevating the shooter genre, despite how uninteresting that may sound. 9, Prodeus is an astounding taste of what’s sure to be a favorite among retro shooter aficionados. Developed by bounding box software and released on steam for early access on Nov. It’s quite lovely, then, that we get to experience the best of both worlds with the outstandingly shameless spiritual successor to the original Doom in Prodeus. Despite not being a traditional follow-up to the legendary franchise in the way many fans anticipated, I enjoyed the game greatly as its own atmospheric and intelligently-paced campaign. In the next sections, we’re going to talk about how to use QuickShape to create any number of different shapes and lines. Whenever you need to use QuickShape, you will perform the action you assigned to it as you draw your circle, square, triangle, or line. You can assign this gesture within the Gesture Controls panel of your Procreate Preferences. QuickShape is activated by a gesture of your choice. Let’s dive into everything that QuickShape can do! Firstly, where the heck do you find QuickShape to begin with? Where is QuickShape in Procreate? There are also some options you’ll want to know about so that you can use QuickShape to its fullest potential. There are some important things to keep in mind when using QuickShape. This will be the action you need to take whenever you want to activate QuickShape to draw your shapes. Make sure you have a gesture assigned to the QuickShape action within your Gesture Controls panel. Procreate’s QuickShape can be used to draw perfect circles, squares, triangles, and lines. In just a second, you can use your iPad to create a perfect circle, square, triangle or line with Procreate’s QuickShape feature. One of the biggest benefits of digital art over traditional art is taking advantage of technology’s ability to create perfect shapes.

![]() In Series One, for instance, Gerani made Card #1 a "title card," a feature that became the norm for Topps' movie tie-in trading cards. This card's "dialogue" was written before Gary Gerani, Topps' editor for this card series, had even heard Yoda speak. I also loved the quality of the photos provided by Lucasfilm (the "Star Wars Corporation" had been absorbed by its parent company by then), and as a reader, I enjoyed the copy Topps provided on the reverse sides. Yes, I liked the new metallic border look that the editor of Topps Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back cards, Gary Gerani, and his team designed for the cards. This time, though, I wasn't as obsessive about the cards and stickers as I had been with the Star Wars cards early series. (C) 1980 Topps Chewing Gum Company and Lucasfilm Ltd.

(She and her husband were real estate agents and made really good money!) As a result, I bought the novelization by Donald F. By then I was collecting items that interested me or allowed me "to take the movie experience home." VHS videocassette recorders were just then becoming a hot household item, but they were still expensive - the cheapest I saw at the time cost upward of $800.00 - and I only knew one neighbor who owned one. When Topps closed the production line down in 1979, I felt no sense of loss I was too focused on getting action figures and their assorted vehicles, playsets, and carrying cases.īy the time Star Wars - Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back premiered in May 1980, my love for the franchise had grown exponentially. I limited myself to getting packs from all five of Topps' Star Wars Trading Cards series, but not as obsessively as I had in 1977. By then, though, I was also collecting the new action figures from Kenner, so I didn't buy too as many of the cards-and-stickers as before. As soon as I found a convenience store within walking distance where Star Wars trading cards were sold, I went there every weekend. We left the apartment and moved into our new townhouse in late February of 1978. I also remember borrowing Issues 1-3 (maybe even #4, as well) from Carlos Vega, one of the few kids my age that lived in our building.Īs I wrote in my review of Star Wars: The Original Topps Trading Cards:Įcause the home video revolution was still a few years away, fans could only "bring the movie home" in a bare handful of ways:Īnyway, sometime around November 1977 I began crossing a busy thoroughfare in Sweetwater, Florida known as Andrews Boulevard (aka SW 109th Avenue) to buy Star Wars trading cards at a nearby Safeway grocery store. I remember reading the Del Rey paperback edition of the novelization. While we were in our Sweetwater "exile," I didn't have much of a Star Wars collection. I've written elsewhere about my rather late embrace of Star Wars fandom, so I won't repeat that account here, except to point out that it was while we were living in that dark, cramped, and uncomfortable apartment in Sweetwater that I saw The Making of Star Wars special on ABC-TV, and that soon after that I saw the record-setting film itself at least three times before we moved to our new house in Eastwind Lake Village. And George Lucas's Star Wars was that magical vehicle. The only thing I looked forward to once the house was ready was having my own room again.įor these reasons - and many others, I must admit - I looked for anything that would provide any escape from the angst I was feeling. I was not used to living like that, nor did I feel any sense of joy about the move. I wasn't thrilled about living in that small apartment at the El Portal complex it was a bleak two-bedroom affair, which meant that because Mom had one room and my older half-sister Vicky had the other, I slept on a cot in the living room. Now we were stuck in that apartment till January, perhaps even February of 1978. The developers had promised my mother the house would be ready by October, but bad weather and issues with the builders caused delays. I wasn't keen on the idea, but I was 14 at the time and not in a position to question my mother's decisions. It was the fall of 1977, and we were "in between" houses Mom had sold our three bedroom, one-and-a-half bathroom home (with its huge backyard) in September and bought a townhouse in the Fountainbleau Park complex of condos, based on a couple of visits to the model home and on the floor plans provided by Trafalgar, the General Electric-owned developer that was building the new Eastwind Lake Village subdivision of Fountainbleau.

In his friendship with Tom’s parents, he is slowly entangled in their own marital challenges besides their lives, as he partners with Sarah despite his earlier attempts to maintain a friendship. He becomes a babysitter-friend to Tom, exerting a parental protectiveness throughout a stifled world - picking him up from a martial arts class early upon seeing an instructor’s swastika tattoo, helping him navigate the neighborhood’s anti-skateboarding rules, and standing up to his bully, and his bully’s bully. Ardis, a psychotherapist, is married to Ted, a developer of sorts, and they have two children - angsty adolescent Clem, and sweetly boisterous Tom. He also gives his time to the next door family, which becomes an extension of his. Narrating between his past in New York and his present in Arizona, readers follow Gil’s previous charity at a refugee center, where fellow volunteers became some of his only friends and the language barrier satisfied his avoidance of interaction, to his current position as a bodyguard for traumatized women at a women’s shelter. It’s the least he can do for the legacy that earned his family billions on others’ backs and for all the suffering that exists around him. This search for redemption is rooted in the inheritance he received from his oil baron grandparents, and his attempt to earn it manifests in a philosophy of charity.

Now, 20 years later, James has been serving Christ as a modern-day Apostle Paul in the land of his birth, where another religion is still a stronghold but the gospel is piercing the darkness. That “book on the shelf” was the Bible, which James, like many devout leaders in his religion, respected and owned, but nonetheless ignored and certainly didn’t read. Yet some 20 years ago, the gospel penetrated the darkness when James, a devout religious leader, was awakened by the voice in the middle of night. Every family Nick and Erica met had at least one immediate family member who had been slaughtered at the hands of the wicked regime that, until recently, ruled them. They met James soon after arriving for a two-year StoryRunners assignment in a Central Asian country where one of the most persecuted people groups today live. ![]() Nick and Erica had met in college and felt a calling to bring the gospel to unreached peoples. Jesus became irresistible to James and in the quiet of one of those nights, James surrendered to him. He gradually quit practicing his religious rituals, and his family and the community took notice. Night after night, James was awakened by a voice that said, “Read the book on the shelf.” So he began to read, and each night as he read more and more of God’s Word, his heart was touched. |
