Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the Farmer located?

The Huntress will mark the Farmer’s location on your map after you complete her questline. Look for fortress ruins in the marked area.

Do I need to fight enemies?

No! The fortress ruins are unguarded. All challenges are environmental puzzles and traps, no combat required.

Is the Grappling Hook required?

Yes, absolutely required. Button 2 cannot be accessed without the grappling hook. Craft it before attempting this vault.

What if I die in the arcane trap corridor?

Don’t immediately try to recover your gear. Continue to Button 1 at the corridor end, press it to disable the traps, then safely recover your backpack.

Can I complete this without Double Jump?

Yes, but it’s much harder. The hidden chests require double jump, and some navigation is easier with it. Highly recommended but not required for quest completion.

How long does the vault take?

15-25 minutes on average. Longer if exploring for chests, shorter if you skip optional loot.

What does the Farmer unlock?

Farming capabilities, advanced cooking recipes, animal taming (capybara), and agricultural crafting options at your base.
