In Windrose, players must strategically gather essential resources like flax (required in large quantities for various crafting), iron ore (for upgrading equipment), and tree bark (for tanning racks) while exploring new biomes such as the foothills, where they encounter stronger enemies and must complete challenges like killing 40 wolves to unlock new discoveries and crafting capabilities.

A Land of New Discoveries in Windrose - Adventuring the Piracy Infested High Seas // EP16Added:
Hey there, fellow explorers. Rodamon here. Thank you for tuning in to Windrose episode 16, A Land of New Discoveries.
Uh wolves.
Oh, very plural.
These look more like hellhounds than wolves.
How we Oh god, and boy do you know it.
You're dead.
>> [screaming] >> Okay, wolves.
Oof, that was close.
I mean, I have a fast travel bell already, so if I died, it wasn't going to be too too annoying.
Um You've got Not that I have the tools for it, but uh new things to mine, so let's see if I can't find some.
Oh, more wolves. Shoot.
Word of advice, pick up as much flax as you can. You will not regret picking up more flax and flax seeds.
Cuz the amount you need for like everything is a lot.
Okay, you guys are going to kill me, so let me back up.
To blood out.
Oh, there we go. I continued to reload.
I just had to not put the weapon away.
Um So, yeah, flax is definitely one of those just like if you see it, grab it.
Aloe is like whatever. You don't need too much of it, but flax you need uh think vintage story.
Tomatoes.
Uh so, the new discovery of wolf fangs gives us elixir of precision crafting.
Tomatoes gives us crab soup and meat salad. [music] And then we have a new challenge of killing 40 wolves.
I'm not going to bother chasing the nanny goats cuz like they're kind of tanky and they are annoying to chase, but I'll like kill one at least for the uh being able to check it off the list.
If it runs into the brush, one tactic you can use is hit T, which is like the auto target, and it will lock on even if you don't have a line of sight. So, that's not the goat I was fighting.
That's a full goat, not a nanny goat.
Which I'll kill anyway. But, yeah, here's the nanny goat.
Nanny goats for bezoars, goat bezoars and rough hide. And you're going to get more rough hide from higher-level goats and then the boars that are lower level.
And then these mountain goats are uh fighters.
And their move set is like pretty nutty.
So, they can be actually kind of challenging to kill, but you've got regular goats as well. So, that one's dead.
Let's see what else we've [music] got.
Uh backpack's full. Um Here you go.
Sulfur.
Sulfur.
If you're not a chemist, it allows you to make gunpowder, but it does require you to have an iron pickaxe first.
Which is funny cuz it's like kind of a soft rock, but whatever.
Um fiber More wolves. I'm not head hunting for wolves right now. I'm just trying to like fill in my discoveries.
So, that's one of the um that's one of the foothill camps that we'll do later on.
Right now, this is just a purely a scientific trip.
Was that the mountain goat leader? Okay.
Uh Yeah, whatever. Let's do it.
Just don't let it touch me.
Luckily, they kind of just like walk.
They look so stupid, but he hits like a truck.
What's up? Hm?
You running?
Oh god.
It's okay.
Yep, you're you're the boss. You're the boss.
Yep.
You're dead, but I am dead, too.
Unfortunately for you, I have the curse of undeath, and I can never fully die. So, I win, but like only by technicality here.
Uh cuz I also perished.
Uh I'm going to put away this ring cuz it didn't drop when I died.
Or when I passed out. Let's call it passing out. When I passed out Uh and let's get back over to that bell.
Yeah, the goat leader is level eight.
So, had three levels up over my gear.
And then also uh I mistreated it. I thought I could just like finish it off right at the end. No, I I didn't learn my lesson the last time the uh the the like boar feral boar did that.
Uh tomato seeds, there we go. There's another discovery. And the bezoar lets us get the the elixir of concentration. Oh, shoot shoot shoot.
Yo.
No one invited you to stab me in the butt with your snout.
The elixir of concentration.
Uh so, yeah, we're filling in our discoveries here.
Thoughts on the game? Worth picking up?
Play with friends? Yes.
I haven't played this multiplayer, so I really don't know what it's like multiplayer, but uh single player, yes.
It is fun. You'll likely not regret it if you like games like this. So, if you like Valheim, Enshrouded, you know, games of that nature, this is absolutely up anyone's alley that plays games like that.
Why killed your boss? That's right.
I'm the new goat leader.
Here we go.
Uh I didn't get its head, though.
But I maybe given that we traded deaths, I don't deserve it. Are you another goat leader?
Hey, rematch.
Oh god. Oh god, this not looking good.
Get up.
I was trying to rush into redo the the bleed stacks and haste makes waste.
Missed me.
That will be your downfall.
>> [screaming] >> Oh, boom.
Here we go. Head of the mountain goat leader.
Uh, that is obviously for a trophy which is locked to me cuz um, I would need to kill a whole bunch more of them.
But, you know, uh stretch goal.
All right, another discovery made.
Divi divi trees.
Aruba trees, if you will.
And key discovery hardwood.
Hardwood lets you make master combat repair kits, a tool that should not be named, uh, seafood platter, chowder, seafood skewer, timber, and that's the important one. And then really inefficient hardwood charcoal.
Don't make charcoal with divi divi.
Uh, I beg you, don't do it. Uh, there's also tree bark here that I should pick up, so here we go.
Key discovery tree bark, which allows us to make a tanning rack, tannin, tanned leather, and a bosun Why didn't they spell this the regular way?
Boatswain, b o a t s w a i n, but the bosun backpack.
Cuz they I don't know, whatever.
Uh so let's get a little bit more of the hardwood and bark.
Here we go.
And the divi-divis, um also probably only wood too if I had room for it.
Well, um I don't really have room for anything.
But it's an enemy camp.
I can make space.
Oh, crap, it's the alpha wolf. Okay, all right.
I thought it was just going to be some humies.
But nope.
I went from one boss fight to the next.
Oh, god dang.
Oh, wait, TWO ALPHA WOLVES? OH, JESUS.
One was enough.
OH, GOATS, JOIN.
YES. YES.
GET THEM.
I'LL STACK THE BLEEDS, YOU stack the fun.
Outsourcing combat is the way to go.
Don't mind me. I'm going to shoot in his butt.
I'm making him a holy wolf.
Oops, I might have hit a goat.
Or nothing.
I want credit. No, I want credit. There we go, I stole it.
Cuz you know, it counts as like the cheat for challenges. I think if the goats got the final blow it would not have counted.
Oh, sugar by timbers.
Okay, that goat's dead.
And that goat's dead. Oh, I have two heads.
All right, plant fiber toss, wood toss.
What do we got over here?
Wolf fangs, wood toss. There we go, wolf head.
That's what I wanted.
I am very full.
Uh but I did just clear this camp. Well, no, that's not true. I half cleared this camp cuz there is another alpha wolf over here.
When I'm hunting rabbits, I'm going to be really quiet. You won't know I'm here.
Uh what can I part with?
50 wood maybe?
All right, sweet.
Let's go ahead and head to the coast and uh teleport back home to put some stuff away cuz I'm now a fat piñata full of good loot and I don't want to lose it.
And that map was another dig map.
Which is actually holy crap. In my front yard. Back home. Like It was the closest island to my one of the closest islands to my starter island. I had I had no idea.
None at all.
Well, you know what? Now I'm going I'm going to go home and drop the stuff off and like, you know, whatever. But uh I could just have put it in the hall.
But that just passes the buck for later.
Everything's for sale.
>> And uh the clay that I wanted for that I bought cuz I kind of knew that it was going to have to do a lot of alchemy later on. Uh it got delivered. It probably got delivered ages ago.
Um I am absolutely going to need more uh storage.
For now, I'm just going to like dump everything in here as a catch all. And that's basically what I've been doing this whole time.
And then I have no need for two shovels.
So, I guess I broke down the wrong one.
Broke down the one I had on, but whatever.
Okay.
Uh flagship, were you Yep, you're cleaned out. Cool.
I don't want to eat the seafood platter cuz it's um 20 vitality. It's like higher quality than anything I can make now.
I can't make the coffee yet cuz I don't have sugar.
So, here's my two meals. Cool.
All right, there's still a lot more discoveries to do. So, uh my current priority is discover stuff in the foothills.
Just to fill up my knowledge of it. And um I'll be back in just 1 second. Uh Tusk wants to get out of my office, so I'm going to let her out.
>> One sec. I'm here, but I'm like low-key not.
One sec.
Okay.
So, back to the foothills we go.
Oh, actually let's just do this dig.
And then we'll go back to the foothills.
I'm curious what was like buried in my Chips on your hand. front yard unbeknownst to me.
So, three of these are obviously pirate camps.
And then we have um bitter pill. So, that's going to be another quest location.
And sacrificial lamb. So, like this entire island is completely full of quest locations.
Meaning that like there's no point of interest that are just going to be randomized. They're all like predetermined for better or for worse.
Um and then once I do a little bit more foothill um Here you go.
discoveries we'll want foothills iron ingots [music] for the toolbox.
We'll want tanned leather and linen fabric for the shoemaker's bench the tanning rack and the spinning wheel.
So, there's a whole bunch of stuff that uh we're going to want as a consequence of discovering the foothills to be built back at our uh hut.
I'm calling it a hut cuz it's really not anything worth writing home about yet.
God, I keep falling right there.
So, I'm not all I'm not all I somehow didn't even know this island was here.
I've sailed by it like I don't know a dozen times and it was here the whole time.
Crazy. I might have seen the poor outline of the island. I don't know. I I'm sailing blind, maybe. Oh, that's not how to dig.
All right, champion ring. So, attacks cost less stamina. Not bad. Piastry and uh silver.
I don't think there's anything else here. It's a pretty small island and looks like uh we got it fully explored.
I will take a long shot and try to get some cayenne pepper seeds.
I think we have some. I just didn't register as a discovery.
Drub, ficus, blank, banana. Okay, yeah.
Somehow or another cayenne pepper seeds are just not filling in.
Bug.
I I thought so.
>> Helm's yours, governor.
So, I'm just going to be lazy and dump everything into the ship.
So, let's go ahead and continue to search this island for discoveries, but also probably do the quest sites.
Just to bang them out cuz while we're here, we might as well.
Cuz we've managed to to fight like the goat boss and the the wolf boss.
So, likely the inhabitants of this island isn't going to be too hard for us to deal with.
And the inhabitants might be guarding other discoveries.
So, clearing them could be of great benefit.
Oh god.
Helps if I'm not potatoing.
I'm just trying to make sure that the musketeers don't get a clear shot on me.
Oh boy, I'm hurting though.
It's always a It's always a big as I mentioned prior uh difficulty jump going to a new biome in this.
These enemies are like uh fairly stronger than than anything I've fought so far. Cuz they don't go from like five to six, they're like five to seven.
And they're in larger groups and with like ranged weapons and I can't aim apparently.
Or block, for that matter.
Oh god, I'm dead.
I somehow just dodged bullets.
Got totally lucky.
Ow, you shot me in the butt, dude. In the butt.
Well, that was not easy.
Although that sergeant did drop me a guinea.
Gold coin.
Oh, lime.
Them's a lime tree.
See, and I got the seeds.
In fact, I got two of them.
So, that's another discovery for hard grog, which is my favorite grog. Damage resistance is awesome.
Sweet lime juice for endurance and refreshing tomato juice for endurance and then also the ability to plant lime saplings.
As mentioned before, flax is everything.
The amount of flax you need is stupid, so collect all of it.
And this camp should be, I don't know, quarter cleared, half cleared, something like that. So, let's get back in there.
With the end, now I have zero um potions, so I got to be a little bit more careful.
Or I don't know, pray or something.
>> Big mistake, friend.
Mark that target.
Take aim.
Quickly shot.
Human shield.
Big mistake, friend.
You're going to bleed.
>> [laughter] >> Never gets old.
Okay, there are guards on the other side, but I should be able to loot most of the camp without them interfering.
And we have the gloves, iron utensils, and a journal on on hands. So, I'll read that as I'm not immediately going to get ganked by those dudes over there.
The captain's gone jumpy. Even after the wound, he never did rein in his temper. But, ever since he took that artifact off Richards, his head's sprung a leak. He's always muttering under his breath in some unknown tongue, eyes wild. Even those closest to him are starting to keep their distance.
Still, I'll take him over Teach. Teach will shoot you first then haul you back up as an undead.
Better to die properly.
This is going to hurt.
You can see like I just perfect parried them multiple times in a row. I Why was I demonstrating that? I But I was trying to demonstrate perfect parrying multiple times in a row and like how little it mattered in the end of the day cuz there were multiple of them so I really couldn't take advantage of it and then I just like potato died.
Good job.
Uh doesn't really matter cuz I'll be back there in just a moment with my bacon, eggs, and chicken.
Uh I'm also going to make some stone bullets cuz uh I'm also out of copper ones.
And these gloves are already level five.
Um so they're really I don't like the giant I don't know.
They're both ugly.
But yeah.
Breaking them down.
Done.
Before I get back there, it'd be wise cuz I might have survived if I had owned one of these guys.
Uh I'll use the smaller potions up first. Oh, shoot. Didn't mean to do that.
I'll use the smaller potions up first.
Um and then work my way through the the nicer ones and then I'll I'll I'll craft up some spare.
Uh what did I Okay, meal.
Meal.
Okay, we're good.
So without spoiling too much, generally one of the first things you'll find making landfall on the um the foothills is like an iron mine.
Which I haven't found yet.
Uh they're pretty easy to spot. They look like that. But they happen to they're like points of interest that look like that.
Or they're kind of like a pit in the earth.
And that's probably the resource you need the most out of everything.
Because the iron is obviously going to allow you to like upgrade your gear.
Paired with like tan tights and and the like.
All right, revenge time.
>> the bravest.
So this site's cleared.
Small pirate camp.
Let's uh that's one's cleared, too.
Let's head over to this one next.
I don't really want to fight you, goat.
It'll be easier to farm the challenge kills when I have like higher level weapons.
Um so putting the effort in now to like kill my whatever 40 goats or whatever it is is more effort than it's worth. 20 goats, whatever it is. Doesn't matter.
Just don't want to do it until I have better weapons.
Want to do the discoveries. So here's another camp.
One is a musketeer.
Which I'll try to drag the sailors off to kill them instead.
We're really in the weeds now.
>> [screaming] >> Oh, this is an upgraded musketeer.
I'm getting so much like random plant fiber from having bushwhacked through all this underbrush just to fight the enemies.
>> [groaning] >> Oh, he had an iron bullet.
Um if you want divi-divi, it's not a bad idea to come to these lumber camps and get it from the already uh cut down divi-divi.
Oh god.
Cuz it's already kind of stacked up and easy to obtain.
And um you're not going to need as much divi-divi as you're going to need flax, but you're still going to need a fair bit of it cuz there's a lot a lot of the upgrades um are going to require wood.
And in this camp we have a conquistador helmet.
Cool.
Uh port flagpoles and more book about hands.
So, I could run around looking like this which screams Dark Souls to me for some reason.
Uh but uh it looks too stupid.
Oh, um these are uh exactly what you think they are.
They go boom.
This is actually really not that much hard Well, I got four off that one.
All right.
On, fools. A few days back, Richard's men showed up demanding the artifact.
The captain flew in a rage, drew his saber, and cut down three on the spot, then shot another. We dropped three more ourselves. The survivors were hanged by Hands personally. They shouldn't have come. Fools to the bone, just like their captain.
So, looks like Richard's was a in a tight spot having um Hands steal the artifact from him and then when he went to go reclaim it murdering his men.
All right. Uh the last of the needle in a haystack camps is this way, but there's a mountain range here, so I'm going to obviously going to have to go around.
>> Bag's getting kind of full, too.
I have not really spotted anything that looks like an iron mine. Most of the foot foothills will have them, but maybe this one doesn't or I haven't just found it yet.
Probably just haven't found it yet.
Oh, yeah, it's probably that thing right there.
Oh, yeah, definitely.
Uh, I'm just going to steal their gunpowder and then run away.
Cuz I'm a jerk.
Well, hm, I'm a pirate, privateer, whatever.
So, this is the last needle in a haystack um, zone to go to learn about Israel Hands.
And I figure I'll just bang that out while we're here and then I'll um, I'll do some iron mining.
If that is indeed an iron mine, which I'm pretty sure it is.
Come here.
On my mark.
Oh, shoot, there's a musketeer here. Oh, just missed.
Nope.
That one did not miss.
Take aim.
Fire.
>> What the heck?
Point-blanks me in the chest. I mean, I had it coming, but still.
I do find it funny that like a lot of these enemies have like sort of Brit accents or whatever. And then the musketeers are like, "Take aim!" It's like, "What, did you relocate here from like the ghetto wild west?"
I mean, I guess he could have, but it'd be weird.
Oh, I pissed off probably more than I can chew. Oh, but there's a grenadier.
So, these um bomb throwers can work to your advantage by letting them bomb you and then having the enemies stand on them to get gipped.
As long as you're not around for when they explode, it's relatively hilarious.
It also uh whoops, and now they're fighting goats.
>> [laughter] >> And just like the um the marksmen, the grenadiers are absolutely dog doo-doo when it comes to melee combat. So, now that the two sailors are busy, Oh, wow, I was Oh, you blew up a whole damn section of that mountain.
Here, blow up your friend there. There you go.
>> And that sailor has uh died to the goats.
Killed one of them.
dibs That's oddly bigger than your whole body.
>> [laughter] >> I don't know.
It just looks silly. But yeah, they uh they were helping to blast some stone.
They really did clear a lot of earth.
I don't have space for it all, but they were blowing everything up.
They did not care, in other words.
So, I'm going to struggle with like storage space, but let's at least clear this last camp before I I return back to HQ.
Oh, with my zero bullets. Uh let's try that again. One iron bullet.
Lucky you, man.
I will kill you.
All right, Drake's double-barreled pistol. This one's interesting. It can fire two shots in quick succession, and um its upgraded version is different, let's say.
Um it's also level five. My current one's level three, so I'm going to switch to it.
And then we got the last piece of information about Hands. Hands sent the Unsinkable out with his trusted men to bring back more prisoners.
The old ones are already gone. Hands keeps dragging them off one by one to god knows where. I don't know who will they'll hit uh merchant ships rarely come to the archipelago now and Tortuga lies in ruins. Good luck with uh to the lads. If they don't bring back fresh meat, I'm afraid we'll be the ones dragged off next.
So, if it hasn't been made obvious by now, Hands Israel Hands is just a complete whack job who's like just murdering everyone.
Um but there you go. The uh that section of the quest is done, Needle in a Haystack, and now the next step is to board the Unsinkable which uh we would need a better ship. It It we would have a really hard time dealing with to take down a ship called the Unsinkable.
But here is the Drake pistol and uh the last thing I wanted to do is to head to the mines. Now, what's silly about this is I have like no inventory space for for iron, but at least I'll get like my first hit of it.
And to confirm that is indeed an iron mine.
I guess in more importantly, this it might not be, but I'm pretty sure it is.
Oof.
>> All right.
More wolves down.
Slowly working on that um the challenge of killing So, the progress of predator calls is 9 of 40 and 4 of 20.
Uh my inventory is completely full, but yes, this is indeed an iron mine.
So, I'll get some iron before I head home.
It wouldn't hurt to get enough iron mine iron mined to like make a better pick.
A goats, okay.
>> [snorts] >> Key discovery, iron ore.
Uh there's really nothing I would like willingly throw out.
Out of all this, I want to keep it all, so I only can collect so much, but that's fine.
So, this key discovery gives me iron foothills ingots, iron axe, iron pickaxe, anvil, 24 pounders, 36 pounders, iron ware, iron bullets, and nails. Don't make those nails, they're more They You get more of them, but they're made of iron, not copper, and they're they're indistinguishable basically, so go for the cheaper nails, I would say.
I ate the meals to just free up a little bit more space. Maybe I can take more iron home.
But, I don't want to fight those uh goats at the moment.
I'd rather just grab the iron and go.
Working towards a better backpack would be good? Yes.
A better backpack does require tanned leather, so it's a bit of a process. It's not like an instant win.
But I will invest these materials into getting my crafting facilities upgraded so I can get better everything, ideally.
Okay, that's all the room I have for the iron.
Uh I'll drop the fiber. The thing is, if I come back to this later on, um I can just pick up the fiber that I just dropped because it's persistent enough to allow for that.
So, okay. Let's say I'm full.
In fact, let's do it risky. I'm going to drop the bandages for iron.
And now I have 60 iron. And and iron stacks [music] lower than uh copper does.
Copper, I think, stacks to 30. Iron stacks to like 15, so you have less space.
So, the closest coast to me is here, maybe. So, I'll run up there and uh summon the boat and head home.
Avoiding random camps like that one.
So, some of these rock outcroppings, like this one, can have iron.
It's possible, but it's usually not very much. The iron pits have the lion's share, for sure.
>> I'm surprised I wasn't ganked by wolves on my way up.
Suppose there's still time.
Helm's yours, captain.
