Guid to survive in the Devil's Roar.

  • With all the tests I did, I think I found some hints that can help people.
    (Or maybe I was just super lucky multiple times and hallucinate there is something…)

    This is a guide for people who need help to survive in that hostile region.
    (I will update this guide overtime with your help and proofs in your comments)

    = Volcanos are real A.I. they have an intelligence for targeting when they throw a rock
    = = If you are on the island during an eruption you need to hide in a cave or under a cliff and wait, because pirate are targets when on the island
    = = If you are on your ship look at your map and move your ship to a distance of 1 and ½ square to be safe
    = = = If you leave you ship alone the Megalodon can still target your ship
    = = = = You should place your ship near a rock outcroping to both, hide from other pirates and be safe from the Megalodon.

    = Volcanos have a random timer BUT will be triggered by pirates AND ships nearby. So after my observations if you do not want to trigger it, those are my tips:
    = = do not stay too long near geysers
    = = = longer you stay at the same spot more geysers appear
    = = = Geysers do a tone of damage to skeletons and blowup powder keg
    = = = = If too many geysers are active it will trigger the earthquake
    = = When the earthquake is on… GO BACK TO YOUR SHIP and wait
    = = If your ship is not ancored, the earthquake will slowly push it away of the island (same for the rowboat)
    = = = Wait until the earthquake calm down or if there is smoke at the chimney be ready to leave the island
    = = = = I need to do more tests for that but I think even if there is smoke the volcano can calm down.

    = Water around the island become hot and do damage over time if you touch it when the volcano is awake but is safe when asleep.
    = = the water inside your ship will be hot too, but only remains while your ship is within the boling area and stops as soon as the ship leave that area
    = Same thing for lava trails on islands, it does damage over time when awake and safe when asleep (even if it still glowing)
    = Both (water and lava) stay dangerous a short period of time after the end of the eruption, so stay vigilent
    = = The water become whitish when it’s hot
    = = The lava glow brighter when it’s hot

    = Rowboat
    = = It can hold 20 items per stacks in its storage
    = = It keeps you safe from hot water
    = = Are not targeted by volcanos (but can still be unlucky and get rocked)
    = = Make sure it do not touch the ground, something like 2 or 3 meters away from the shore
    = = = It will be easier to turn and not scratch it when you leave
    = = = It will be safe from earthquake (Because yes earthquake can destroy the rowboat)

    Thanks to : @ENF0RCER | @NikInJapan for some ajustment.

  • Very good work. just to note the safe distance from a volcano is 1 and a half squares. Also if i might add if you leave you boat unattened meg can still target your ship I suggest you park your ship near a rock outcroping to both hide from other pirates and be safe from megan. As well as the boling water inside the ship only remains while your ship is within the boling area and stops as soon as the ship leave that area.

  • Grassy and rocky areas don’t spawn geysers, try to navigate on an island using these 2 surfaces and you’ll rarely get taken for a ride

  • just don't go there-the best guide)

  • @enf0rcer
    Yes thank you I'm updating it.

    @NikInJapan
    Ok cool, I know for the rocky, but for the grassy one I will do some testing.

  • they should reduce the eruption of the volcanos to all 20 min because i cant do a quest on these island without to escape to my ship and restart again or dying cause of the volcano or other players lol
    sometimes i need 1 hour to find a treasure and so i cant play on the new island ...i take my time in this game dont like to hurry or fast action.

  • @zyrkal Some good tips here. Thanks matey!
