Exploring the Route
To embark on your journey to Mount Fay, you must first navigate through The Slab. Two main pathways allow entry into this area. If you find yourself captured by a Wardenfly in nearby regions, you'll be transported directly to The Slab. Alternatively, those with an adventurous spirit can make their way west through the Choral Chambers to reach this enigmatic zone.
Once within The Slab, descend to its lowest point and continue westward to uncover the entrance to Mount Fay. As you traverse this path, you'll find a bench strategically placed on the long stretch east of the entrance. This serves as a crucial checkpoint, allowing weary adventurers to regroup and plan their next steps.
The Challenges of Mount Fay
Mount Fay is not for the faint-hearted. This daunting area is home to the coveted Faydown Cloak ability, yet it requires traversing some of the game's most challenging terrain. Adventurers will encounter destructible obstacles and experience extreme cold, which inflicts chill damage when Hornet ventures too far from campfires or torches.
Prepare for intense platforming sections that demand precision and speed. You will face a series of treacherous jumps, complicated glides, and tricky swings that must be executed flawlessly, often with little time to formulate a plan.
Preparation Is Key
Prior to embarking on this demanding ascent, ensure you are adequately prepared. It is essential to unlock beneficial items and upgrades that will aid during the climb. The right gear not only eases the journey but also provides additional health to resist the cold conditions. Strategically planning your ascent and equipping yourself with the necessary tools can make a significant difference in your success rate.
Once you feel equipped, descend through The Slab and face the cold, deceptive landscape of Mount Fay. With determination, resilience, and preparation, the climb to Mount Fay is a conquest within reach, promising rewarding discoveries and a true test of adventuring prowess.
