Guide for the event In Search of Aphid Treasures
During the first five days, one new stage of the event will open. In each of them, you need to find phlogiston aphids infected by the Abyss and catch them with a net. After catching them, you need to destroy the barrier that covers the insects and cleanse the aphids of Abyssal energy.
How to remove the barrier
Energy cannot be taken while the creature is covered by the barrier. Use character attacks or insect nets from Night Spirit deal with the barrier more successfully.
Once the defense is destroyed, the aphid will be stunned and Void energy will be drained from normal attacks. After a while, the aphid will move to another area where its barrier must be removed again. Only a certain amount of Void energy can be removed at a time.
How to charge the network
Shilonen's Insect Net cannot be used continuously as it requires recharging. Look for nearby Shackle Berries to recharge the net and restore some of the phlogiston for characters. You can get berries from special plants, from objects or killed enemies.
Walkthrough In Search of Aphid Treasures
There are five stages in the event, which open every day. Let's take a closer look at how to complete each of them.
Catch 1
The first fishing spot is located to the east of the Echo Children tribe. You can use the trial version to get there. Shilonen. Interact with the challenge to begin it.
Region 1
From the testing mechanism, go west. The aphids are flying at the foot of the slope. Before attacking the insect, collect berries from the three bushes nearby to get two charges of the net.
Immobilize the aphid with a net, then attack with Night Spirit or fast attacks to remove the barrier before it moves to the next area.
Region 2
The aphid moves south from its previous location. Go down the mountain to see it flying along the path. The net can be charged with either the berries growing on top of the mountain or by collecting them from the three bushes near the aphid.
Region 3
The final area is located to the east of the previous one or to the south of the testing mechanism, on a small hill. If there are no charges left from the second catch of the Shilonen net, there are two bushes with berries in this place.
Catch 2
The second stage of the trial is located at the top of Tetikpak Peak, in its eastern part. As a character in it, you are given Kinich, which will help you move between areas using a grappling hook. Interact with the mechanism to start catching.
Region 1
At the very beginning, aphids fly in the east of the location on the border with the Temple of Ancestors. Bind berries for the net are on or near bushes, as well as in barrels that need to be destroyed. You can find the barrels by the beams-pointers emanating from them.
Be careful when catching it, as the creature can perform area attacks.
Region 2
Use Kinich's ability and the symbols to climb the mountain south of the previous area. The insect is in the northwest. There is only enough space to pump the network around it, so if you don't have enough, you'll have to move a little further.
Region 3
The last area is located quite far from the previous one, in the southeast. Berries can be found on top of the ruins, on a tree branch, and also near the symbols for movement. In addition, there are bushes with fruits very close to the aphids.
Catch 3
The third insect must be caught northeast of the Kron Scions tribe. As in the previous stage, the trial gives a trial Kinich to help in the fight against the aphids. Note that the creature begins to attack in an area once the fight begins.
Region 1
The first fishing spot is southwest of the test mechanism. There are quite a few okok berries around, including two bushes right next to the aphids, so it should be easy to fill up the net charges. Beware of the insect's area attacks, as they will interrupt Kinich's attacks.
Region 2
The second area is located slightly north of the previous one, on the other side of the river. Although there are fewer bushes here, the berries are also located near the symbols or lying on the ground near them.
Region 3
The last area is in the east near the waterfall. You can fill the network with resources from the barrels, but to get the berries from there, you need to blow them up with flame grenades, otherwise they will not drop.
Catch 4
The fourth aphid fishing spot is in Toyek Creeks, north of the Archon statue in this area. Since there is a lot of water in the area, you are given a Mualani, whose abilities can be used not only for movement, but also for collecting berries-oks. The insect in the fourth stage does not attack, but has increased speed.
Region 1
First, head south of the testing mechanism. Before fighting the aphids, walk through three bushes with berries to fill up the charges of the Shilonen network. The aphids move quite quickly, so try to find the right moment to attack them and knock down the shield.
Region 2
The second area is a little further west. Use Mualani's surf and move to the water to collect the berries scattered on it and quickly get to the insect.
Region 3
The last location is further west. Enter the Spirit Path, which is located near the point where the previous fight took place, and use it to reach the desired area. Collect some more berries and attack the aphids.
Catch 5
The final capture of the Void-infected Aphids takes place north of Huitztli Hill. From the teleporter in this area, head west, but do not go down from the mountains to the ground, as the mechanism with the test is on top of a cliff. Shilonen is the character in the last stage. The Aphids have increased HP.
Region 1
The first area is in the south at the base of the mountain. Berries for charging the network can be found in bushes, in destructible objects, and after killing monsters. Be sure to grab a lot of berries at once at the top of the tree.
Region 2
Use Shilonen's Night Spirit state to climb the mountain, restoring Phlogiston energy along the way. The insect flies at the top of the mountain. Loot the bush and kill the Hilichurls to get net charges.
Region 3
To get to the final area, cross the gap between the rocks using the wooden bridge. There are three places to collect berry-oki at this point - a ledge on the mountain, a bush with berries, and breakable pots.
