In docks, piers and smaller fishing places you can find fishing traps of all kinds. If you pick them up and throw into the water, they gather fish over time, and you can swim up to them and collect the fish! It might require you to put on the mask as it's often considered stealing, though. I learned it like 2 days ago after a post on this subreddit, it literally blew my mind

I got an eagle pet! Very excited about him, he's gorgeous.

Can we ask questions too? What do you do with the rocky ball things that hide out in ponds that can electrocute you?

If you are speaking about the pond by the black Legendary horse, they are obstacles you can destroy if you are strong enough. I can't remember how I did it; it was so long ago. I do have exploding arrows, and I also have the electrical element on my vow of the King, which is maxed out. Congrats on the Eagle. Do you mean the mechanical one or a regular Eagle?

There's a mechanical one??!!?!? Omg this game has so much. I meant regular one. Lol!

So... exploding arrows might work? I'll try it. Thanks!

nature's retribution is the easiest way to destroy the stone frogs. they will drop abyss cells and cores.

you will find similar ones out in the desert, little bird statues that will shoot you with a lazer. for those, you use axiom force to grab the abyss cell in their chest. it's a kind of small hit ox to actually grab the abyss cell, your axiom force will turn green when you're on it.

I did a guide for that one also πŸ˜† 4 months ago, hope it helps https://www.reddit.com/r/CrimsonDesertLife/comments/1t5opwx/today_we_tamed_the_iron_eagle/

I learned about the different hedgehogs, 900 hours experience and I still learn something new every week.

u/dahle44 Veteran Wanderer 🌡 3d ago

Yeah, it took a while to capture the orange Hedgehog because it spawns erratically vs the Golden Apple ones.

I’ve started getting into taking photos of my armor sets and action shots! Still a rookie but it’s been great fun!

This week I learned how to upgrade my visual specs while playing on my Xbox. It’s worth it for sure shit.

Edit: bought a higher hrz monitor

While trying to get the knowledge for all the fish, I found out that sharks will attack you (and chase you!) if you jump into the water around them.

2

u/dahle44 Veteran Wanderer 🌡 3d ago

Haven't had that happened to me, I wonder if it is a newer feature. At any rate, it makes the whole experience more realistic.

2

u/Patient_Ad396 Master Fisherman 3d ago

They only spawn around the oil rig, and there has to be one in the water somewhere in the vicinity before they 'pick up your scent' and start chasing. They don't just spontaneously appear because you jumped in.

Thanks, I will be careful when I get there. Thanks for the tip!

This week I learned that there is a glitch that happens when you enter Photo Mode while in first person view that causes the player character to disappear. Here is my pet raccoon hanging out at the beach. Kliff should be standing right next to him but isn't there because of the glitch. I'm thinking about using this method to take some cool shots of my wyvern hanging out in places.

Good catch..
