The world of Windrose has plenty of secret items for you to find, and the Traveler's Camp includes two chests. As with almost anything in the game, the exact locations of these chests will be random (based on your map). Finding the first one might not be difficult, but the second one is a real headscratcher. Let's find out how you can find both chests and unlock all the rewards on offer. Table of contents How to find all the Traveler's Camp chests in Windrose How to find the second Traveler's Camp chest in Windrose How to find all the Traveler's Camp chests in Windrose The first one always appears to be out in the open. When you visit a Traveler's Camp, the first chest will usually be located near one of the tents. It can also be found near a campfire, and the chest is pretty easy to find. The second chest, in contrast, is hidden from plain sight. When you find the first one and open the map, you'll find that it says you have found the first ch...

Palm Seeds are one of those resources in Windrose that are required for different needs, and they're pretty tricky to get. For a long time, I thought you got them from the Palm trees that are found all over the coastlines. While they do spawn from Palm trees, you might be looking at the wrong locations. Let's find out how you can obtain this resource and put it to good use. Table of contents How to find Palm Seeds in Windrose How to use Palm Seeds in Windrose How to find Palm Seeds in Windrose To get Palm Seeds, you'll need to chop trees that are located deeper in the islands. For example, you can try the trees that grow in the Coastal Jungle forest. You chop as many trees as you want (the same ones) on the coast, and you'll never find a seed. Hence, you'll need to travel inside and chop down the Palm trees to get the Palm Seeds. You'll need an axe, but that's an easy tool to get pretty early. You'll need three Wood and three Stone to buil...

Ashes of Creation doesn't seem to be able to leave the news. Supposedly, there's no such thing as bad publicity, but this is an MMO you can't play anymore, and all the news is about the alleged misdeeds that caused its collapse. What went (and is still going) wrong? Table of contents What is Ashes of Creation What happened with Ashes of Creation? What is Ashes of Creation In 2025, after raising over $3 million via Kickstarter and a nearly 10-year-long development cycle, Ashes of Creation , a medieval fantasy MMO in the vein of WoW , finally reached early access for $50. Many saw promise in the title, with Destructoid even making a few guides for it . Sadly, nobody really got the time to put these to much use, since the game went under shortly after, leaving its entire development team out of a job. Usually, you can point to one main cause of collapse for a studio, but not here. Ashes of Creation 's Intrepid Studios has spawned so much chaos that we have to ...

Being a game set in the 18th century during the Golden Age of Piracy, gunpowder is just as important as gold in Windrose . It is an invaluable currency that is necessary to operate any long-range weapon, and given just how powerful they are in this game, you're going to want to use them nine times out of 10. But obtaining gunpowder isn't something the game explicitly explains to you, especially not in the early stages of the game. Once you run out of that first batch you spawn with, you're more than likely to find yourself forced into melee combat. Thankfully, there are ways around this, so here's how you can get gunpowder in Windrose . How to obtain Gunpowder in Windrose Gunpowder is easily obtained from enemies and crafting. Screenshot by Destructoid The quickest and easiest way to obtain gunpowder, most usually spawning as Homemade Gunpowder , is to hunt Blackbeard Pirates that spawn in camps on islands near the first location you spawn at. Simply unlock th...

The voice behind Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's Gustave has finally played the award-winning game almost a year after it launched. It's hard to fault him, though. He's been quite busy defending Hell's Kitchen from Kingpin as Matt Murdock/Daredevil in Disney Plus's Daredevil: Born Again series. But actor Charlie Cox said today that he's finally picked up the sticks to try out Destructoid's 2025 game of the year (and basically everyone else's, too). Image via Sandfall Interactive "I'm not very good, because obviously, it's a skill set, but I've played it," he said in a new interview with GamesRadar at the 2026 BAFTA Games Awards today, where Expedition 33 will likely add even more awards and accolades to its resume. Cox admits he's not the biggest gamer, and he famously said last year that he knew very little about the project after finishing up his work in a short time. But now, he's at least began the journey, al...
