Krac36 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Anyone have any tips to find the ruins? Im trying to ruins rush as WX, I get everything ok, but I waste like 5 days looking for ruins entrance and when I get there im either starving or insane and being followed by numerous shadow creatures. I know that I have to find the lichen and the muddy turf. All the info I have is mushroom forest > lightbulbs(muddy) > lichen > ruins. But this doesnt seem to be enough for me. My problem is getting to the lichen. The caves are HUUUGE, and i always find loads of stalagmite biomes with many rock paths that lead to dead ends, and that really pisses me off If i find the cave swamp, i normally double back cause its usually a dead end right? or am i totally wrong about that? Can anyone help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landromat Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 find mud turf first, then bulb field, then slime columns, lichen, slurpers, splumonkes. then you find ruins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maslak Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 That's literally what they said... Well, sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you don't. I'm sorry but I don't think there are any other direction clues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rellimarual Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 The entrances tend to be at the edges of the cave maps in areas that branch out from the lightbulb field that leads to the ruins. The more familiar you become with the typical cave map, the easier it will be for you to detect early on which direction leads toward the center of the map, where the lightbulb field is. There tend to be rocky turf bridges lead to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rellimarual Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Yes, you were close, then you went past the light bulb field into what I call the Mushroom Wastes, because there is nothing good there. Once you find the light field, start mapping it’s edges. If you come to a bridge, it’s fine to follow it for a bit, but if it leads you to one of the exterior types of biome (green, mushrooms, bats, spiders), go back and continue mapping the muddy turf area. When you see lichen, you’ve found it. The entrance to the ruins is ALWAYS muddy turf with lichen. There may be a bridge leading to it from the main field, but when you run out of muddy turf, you’ve overshot your goal and are heading out to the opposite edge of the map from where you came in.

Just the part where the lichen starts, I though? The rest isn’t subject to the nightmare cycle. I always figure the ruins end when you get to the part of the muddy field where the colors stop changing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always figure the ruins end when you get to the part of the muddy field where the colors stop changing It's kind of a modified wilds biome. It serves as a buffer between the ruins and caves seeing as they now share the same shard. So the nightmare cycle doesn't always effect the entire biome. In DS you wouldn't be able to find lichen or eel ponds outside of the ruins, so this is technically part of the ruins seeing as it has it still contains it's unique resources. But I'm just nit-picking. It's not really much of a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daxterr Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 So are ruins guaranteed as long as you have caves enabled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you should always have the ruins if you have caves. I've been in a lot of worlds and I have yet to see any caves without ruins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember once caves was generated without labyrinth. but never without ruins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinister_Fang Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Just now, landromat said: I remember once caves was generated without labyrinth. but never without ruins Yeah, I've seen that once before. I'm pretty sure they fixed that now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
