How to complete A Rising Chorus: Act I in Destiny 2 (Week 3) A Rising Chorus: Act I is into its third week, giving Destiny 2 players a few new steps in Episode Echoes to work through. As you've been doing for the last couple of weeks , your goal here is to continue your research with Failsafe. To kick off A Rising Chorus: Act I Week 3, you need to head to the H.E.L.M. and speak with Failsafe. When I did this, the AI repeated what it had ended Week 2 with, so don't be alarmed if you also hear the same thing. You're not going mad; Bungie likely just wanted to remind us of where we left off. Your first step will begin after this conversation, so pick up a bunch of Bounties and get ready to drop onto Nessus once more. How to complete A Rising Chorus: Act I (Week 3) in Destiny 2 Below, I've broken down A Rising Chorus: Act I (Week 3) into easy-to-follow steps so you can track where you are or where you need to go. Don't forget to track the quest from your Director so you always have a waypoint to follow when picking your destinations. Step 1: Locate sites from which to extract radiolaria samples Screenshot by Destructoid To locate sites from which to extract radiolaria samples, you need to open the Nessus map and look for the icon that shows you roughly where to go. Land at The Cistern and make your way over there to begin your search. When you arrive at the location, you should see a radiolaria sample, so pick that up. Next, Failsafe will contact you and start beeping and bopping, which means it's time to use its proximity meter to locate even more samples. There are five to collect, and you've just picked up the first one. Screenshot by Destructoid The second radiolaria sample is across the radiolaria river and up a few steps on the Well of Flame. If you can't see it right away, climb up until you reach the stairs to the entrance and look left, the sample is there. Screenshot by Destructoid The third radiolaria sample is back across the radiolaria river from the Well of Flame. You could get this one second if you like, but I saw it from up on the Well of Flame and picked it up after. Screenshot by Destructoid The fourth radiolaria sample is across the radiolaria river again from the third. It's lower down on the Well of Flame's steps. Screenshot by Destructoid The fifth radiolaria sample is to the left of the Well of Flame's lower level. As far as you can go before stepping into the radiolaria river. Step 2: Locate the next site from which to collect radiolaria samples Screenshot by Destructoid The next step is similar to the first. It sends you off up to the top of Nessus in Chamber of Water. Fast travel to Watcher's Grave and make your way over there to collect another five samples. Screenshot by Destructoid You should find the first radiolaria sample amid a Vex ambush as you enter this location. Screenshot by Destructoid The second radiolaria sample is on top of a podium in the central arena. Screenshot by Destructoid The third radiolaria sample is to the left of this podium, at the back of the arena. Screenshot by Destructoid The fourth radiolaria sample is to the right of the podium in the arena, against a wall. Screenshot by Destructoid The fifth radiolaria sample is found when heading back the way you came. Just above the location where the Vex ambushed you is a circular outcrop, and the radiolaria sample is to the left-hand side when running back through it. Step 3: Locate yet another site from which to extract radiolaria samples Screenshot by Destructoid Keeping up the grind, this third step sees you repeat what you've been doing for the last two. Fast travel to The Cistern and not Artifact's Edge, even though the latter looks closer, and make your way to the location where you're finding radiolaria samples. Screenshot by Destructoid The first radiolaria sample is to your left as you enter the area filled with Vex trying to kill you. Screenshot by Destructoid The second radiolaria sample is a little further along the edge of this area, right before you need to jump onto the platforms. Screenshot by Destructoid The third radiolaria sample is below the slopes heading up to the back of this area. It's hovering over the radiolaria ponds. Screenshot by Destructoid You'll find the fourth sample to the right of the slopes. It's hovering in the radiolaria next to the sharp-looing crystals sticking out of it. Screenshot by Destructoid To get the fifth radiolaria sample, get to the other side of those crystals. After collecting it, you'll get a call from Osiris and must return to the H.E.L.M. At this point, I saw a lot of the Prismatic apparitions that you can occasionally find on Nessus appear all around the cave. They disappeared as soon as Osiris stopped talking. Step 4: Speak with Osiris and complete Mesmerize Screenshot by Destructoid It's time to report back to the H.E.L.M. and hear what Osiris has to say. Note that this happens automatically. It's not a conversation you can trigger. So be ready to hear what Osiris is saying as soon as you get to this location because you'll miss it if not. After Osiris is done, interact with the computer on the left-hand side of the room to hear a message from Saint-14. Now, you've got to head to Nessus and complete the mission Meserize. You can find this mission on Nessus after hitting this step. This mission is the closest we've gotten to seeing something sinister in Destiny 2 since the end of The Final Shape 's campaign. Enjoy it, and pay attention to everything Saint-14 says. Step 5: Reconvene in the H.E.L.M. Screenshot by Destructoid Unlike with Osiris, this conversation with Saint-14 won't trigger until you approach and interact with him. This will be a big story dump where you'll learn about The Conductor, so sit back and enjoy everything that's about to unfold. You need to discuss what just happened with Failsafe after everyone teleports away. The AI is shaken that Saint-14, such a strong character, could be shaken by whatever he heard on Nessus. This marks the end of A Rising Chorus: Act I Week 3. You'll have to wait until next week to continue this gripping story.

Best Sigewinne builds in Genshin Impact Sigewinne is a potent healer in Genshin Impact , but she’s also capable of some modest damage if you choose to build for it. Here are the best builds for Sigewinne as both a healer and damage dealer. Best Sigewinne healer support build As a pure healer support, Sigewinne only cares about her HP stat. She doesn’t need Energy Recharge except to trigger the 4pc Noblesse Oblige artifact set. She doesn’t need CRIT or ATK, since she’s not doing damage. Just build as much HP as possible. Equip any weapon that has an HP secondary stat . Sigewinne’s best weapon is her 5-star signature, Silvershower Heartstrings. However, you can just as easily equip the 3-star Recurve Bow and still have plenty of healing. Recurve Bows can be found in chests in Mondstadt or from certain NPCs. Recurve Bow doesn’t even need Refinements. If you have a Recurve bow in your inventory, I recommend equipping that and calling it a day. As for artifact sets, I recommend 4pc Ocean-Hued Clam for pure healer Sigewinne. This artifact set doesn’t require her to build Energy Recharge and converts some of her healing into damage. You can also use 4pc Tenacity of the Millelith, but you may struggle with uptime on its buff. 4pc Noblesse Oblige is an option, too, but requires using Sigewinne’s Burst in order to trigger its effect. If you need to settle for 2pc sets, combine any sets that provide HP or Healing Bonus. Sands Goblet Circlet HP HP Healing Bonus HP Image via HoYoverse Best Sigewinne build for DPS and healing If you want your Sigewinne to deal damage, you can invest in some CRIT stats as well as HP. Energy Recharge becomes important as well, since most of Sigewinne’s damage comes from her Burst. Since Sigewinne has such strong healing, you can have a hybrid support-DPS build without sacrificing much survivability. As for Bows, the 5-star Silvershower Heartstrings is Sigewinne’s best weapon for both healing and damage. If you have a spare Aqua Simulacra, you can use that instead. You can also use other Bows that provide CRIT stats or HP, but if you are unable to equip a 5-star Bow and invest in Constellations, you might be better off with a pure healer build. Sigewinne’s best artifact sets are still 4pc Ocean-Hued Clam or 4pc Noblesse Oblige. These sets allow Sigewinne to contribute some damage, whether through her Clam bubbles or by buffing her teammates. You can also combine 2pc sets that provide HP, Healing Bonus, or Hydro DMG.

Best teams for Sigewinne in Genshin Impact If your team is looking for a healer, why not bring nurse Sigewinne on board? Sigewinne is a flexible healer in Genshin Impact , and though she can slot into many teams, here's where she shines the brightest. Sigewinne in Furina teams Sigewinne offsets Furina’s HP drain and enables more Fanfare stacks, boosting your whole team’s damage while keeping them alive. As Hydro characters, the two can also provide Energy for one another, reducing the need to build Energy Recharge. Sigewinne will also provide a small buff to her teammates’ Skill damage. Sigewinne - Furina - Navia - Albedo / Chiori Sigewinne - Furina - Ayaka - Kazuha Sigewinne - Furina - Nahida - Raiden Screenshot by Destructoid Nilou Bloom with Sigewinne Sigewinne’s team healing is also valuable in Nilou Bloom teams. Start with Nilou and Sigewinne, then add any two Dendro units of your choice, making sure at least one of them can apply Dendro from off-field. Sigewinne won’t trigger as many Blooms as Kokomi or Yelan, but she is able to heal your entire team without hogging too much field time. Sigewinne - Nilou - Nahida - Dendro Traveler Sigewinne - Nilou - Dendro Traveler - Alhaitham Screenshot by Destructoid Sigewinne in overworld teams Sigewinne may not be great for high-level Abyss teams, but she makes for a great overworld healer in the open world of Teyvat. Her healing comes from her Skill, so it’s limited only by her cooldown. Since Sigewinne doesn’t need to use her Burst, you don’t need to worry about Energy or Energy Recharge. This also makes Sigewinne easier to build as a pure healer, since you can just focus on her max HP stat. Your overworld team should consist of whatever characters you need to make traversal easier for yourself. Kazuha and Venti are great for gaining vertical height, while Yelan , Sayu , and Lynette help cover ground more quickly. Make sure you have at least one DPS unit, and then slot in Sigewinne as your healer. Even if you need to change your team to tackle specific enemies or puzzles, Sigewinne will be able to support anyone she’s paired with.

All editions of Farming Simulator 25 and where to buy them Giants Software's Farming Simulator 25 will be released on November 12, 2024; fans have been waiting years to get their hands on it. Given that players will spend so much time in the game, having an edition that reflects that dedication makes sense. The Farming Simulator series has a hardcore fan base that spends dozens of hours each week perfecting their farms, mastering machinery, and establishing the best setup possible for producing crops and managing livestock. Farming Simulator 25 is the type of game that you could justify a specialized farming simulation controller for on any platform , which is why some fans want to have a collector's edition that shows off just how much they love it. Every edition of Farming Simulator 25 and where to buy them Below, I've listed every edition of Farming Simulator 25 that you can pre-order and where to get them from. As more retailers become available, I'll keep this list up to date so you can get the best deal possible. Farming Simulator 25 Digital Edition (PC, PS5 & Xbox Series X/S) Image via Giants Software The Digital Edition of Farming Simulator 25 is the basic edition you can purchase for every platform and costs $59.99/£47.99 . This edition includes the game, but if you pre-order it ahead of its release date, you'll also get the FS25 MacDon Pack, which includes the M1240 Windrower, the DX140 & FD140 Headers, the PW8 pickup header, and the R216Sp disc header. All of this is equipment made by the Canadian manufacturer and won't be available in-game without this pack. Pre-order for Xbox Series X/S: Microsoft Store Pre-order for PS5: PlayStation Store Pre-order for PC: Giants Software At the time of writing, there's no physical edition of the base game for PC, PS5, or Xbox Series X/S. If one is announced, I'll include it here for those who prefer physical media. Farming Simulator 25 Year 1 Bundle (PC, PS5 & Xbox Series X/S) Image via Giants Software Farming Simulator 25 Year 1 Bundle edition includes the base game and the Year 1 Season Pass. With this pass, you get a new expansion every quarter, including more innovative machinery, additional plains and prairies packs, what looks to be a vehicle-focused expansion, and then a brand new map to round things off. This edition costs $84.99/£70.99 for PC/Xbox Series X/S. On PS5, the price currently stands at $119.99 , but this seems like an error, given the price is consistent on the other storefronts. If you pre-order it before launch day, you'll net yourself the FS25 MacDon Pack and a bonus harvester. Pre-order for Xbox Series X/S: Microsoft Store Pre-order for PS5: PlayStation Store Pre-order for PC: Giants Software Farming Simulator 25 Collector's Edition (PC only) Image via Giants Software The Collector's Edition of Farming Simulator 25 is the ultimate edition, and it's packed with goodies. This edition includes the following items. Farming Simulator 25 base game for PC/Mac Collector's Box A USB Ignition Lock that responds to in-game vehicles Three A2 Posters A Key Chain A 16-bit Retro Edition Soundtrack CD 32 Brand Stickers Modding Tutorials New Holland CR11 Gold Edition This edition includes two bonus vehicles but doesn't include the Year 1 Pass, so you'd need to buy that separately. At the time of writing, there's no price for this edition, but we do know that you'll need to buy it direct from Giants Software . Based on the other editions of the game, it's likely going to cost over $100/£100 plus whatever shipping is required, so it's probably only for those who absolutely adore the franchise.
