Hunting Grounds Insufficient Scroll
- You enter by kneeling before a cairn.
- Creatures and beasts found within.
- Several items can be gained inside (items listed below).
- May not give items away, only death or RELINQUISH
- Open PK area.
With this information, one would assume the hunting grounds is an average area filled with beasts that when killed will drop special artifacts that can help with Ylem. This Area is of course Open PK. Here is what the scroll and information concerning the Hunting Grounds does -not- state.
- When walking around, you'll move as if with a broken leg/in aeon/over rubble.
- You cannot Fly, Dash, Phase, or other forms of escape abilities within the Hunting grounds.
- To gain the items within the hunting grounds, you must place the corpse of a certain important animal within the shrine located in the hunting grounds.
- These important animals must be found roaming the hunting grounds (with no information as WHAT they are)
- What each of the 'legendary' artifact beasts is and what item each one gives specifically.
- To leave the hunting grounds, you must find the shrine to Haern and touch it.
- Upon entering the hunting grounds, you'll be placed in a room with no exits surrounded by mists. Moving in a direction will place you in a random spot in the hunting grounds.
- You cannot leave the hunting grounds if another is in there with you
I hope I've got my point across. It'd be very helpful if the scroll could contain the side-effects one feels within the hunting grounds, as well as WHAT the 'big animals' are and HOW we can get the items from them. Information is key.
How it could be worded:
Once you enter the hunting grounds, you will be placed within a special room surrounded by mists, simply move in any direction to be placed in a random room within the hunting grounds.
Be warned. Side-effects of being within the hunting grounds include slowed walking capability, the inability to fly or dash as well as the inability to enter incorporeal form.
Within the Hunting Grounds, you will find several special beasts that are more difficult to slay than the common ones. Once you have slain one of these legendary creatures, you must place their corpse upon the shrine within the Hunting grounds (located at <path number here>) in order to receive the special artifact they give.
Once you are done with your hunting, or slaying of other hunters within, simply find the shrine and TOUCH it. After some time, you will be transported back to the main continent. Note that you cannot leave the Hunting grounds if another is in there as well. Only 1 may remain in the hunting grounds in order to leave freely.

Half the fun about the HG is finding it out and not getting it handed on a plate.
Also @Nalor I dont see how it can be 'fun' to find out how the game mechanics of an area work where it takes you 2 seconds to walk from room to room and you have very limited time (before someone much stronger than you comes to thwap you down) to experiment and figure out you have to grab corpses and drop them on the random shrine in the southeast section. But hey I suppose we all have different interpretations of it
Knowing how the mechanics of a game feature work helps one incorporate themselves better into their game. Trying to hide information in hopes they will find out themselves is a generally bad idea for game play.
- Don't put what the animals drop IG, because that's spoilers and half the fun is figuring it out (do you go into the HG often? I guess I miss it...)
- Don't need to put what the animals drop in a helpfile because everyone has that info in a helpfile already
I'm fairly confused - am I missing something?
-however-
The fact that you -need- to put the corpses upon the shrine in order to get the items (the very reason we even sought the hunting grounds), should be. Yes?
Also any chance items can stay on the person for 5 minutes after they disconnect? I just had a random one and lost the 2 items I had on me.
