Why is the Darkness Talent bad?

Game Discussion
1

This is by far the talent I took the most interest in, since it has a perk related to charting and is all about cool ghosts, but it straight up doesn’t work.

One of the darkness talent quests asks you to do something that simply hasn’t been added yet, and has no indication that it’s impossible. It’s also a random event so you might assume it’s just bad luck when you don’t get it.
And it’s not that the win condition is hidden and you have to do something else to finish, it’s just secretly unavailable.

Perk 1 is actually a downside,
Perk 2 doesn’t ever work, (I have not seen a single treasure ghost),
Perk 3 is actually really goated,
And perks 4 and 5 don’t exist.

edit: perk 3 is fixed, and it’s pretty really good.

This talent wasn’t ready to be added to the game.

:sob: Only perk i care abt rn

perk 1 makes you immune to certain environmental hazards I believe
like the dirty water and that poison lake in the sky

4

Does that include the dark sea rain? (I’ll be split between sentinel and darkness for expeditions)

5

I haven’t gone into the dark sea since the update, so I don’t know

Maybe someone can test once the rift spam problem is done

(and once i manage to actually complete the task i’ll go test in some of those waters to see if the belief is right, the castaways are just being elusive rn, got 1/3)

Uhhhh well I died to that lake twice.

The rifts are only in one spot, just enter somewhere else

I didn’t notice it was supposed to be dangerous until I found the rusty zweihander and it said the lake was dangerous

10

honestly haven’t even gone in the dark yet (trying to do talent quests + Hunt Dusk whenever he actually spawns on an island and doesn’t get replaced by the one beyond reach because she can spawn in bronze apparently and was on the island where dusk should have been-)

After testing both before and after rejoining the game, can confirm it does not stop the poison water

Now gotta figure out if part 1 actually does anything other than aura or not

12

that’s odd
oh well, classic vetexgames bug I guess
