  • How to Complete the To the Limb It Questline in Borderlands 4

    The side quests in Borderlands 4 are many, and some of them connect to tell a bigger story. One example involves Topper and Leggies, two characters who appear in several optional missions. Their struggle to stay together creates some conflict, which also gives you a chance to earn money and experience points.

    Each part of the “To The Limb It” quest line has three chapters, and you can unlock each one after completing the previous one. Here’s what you can expect as you try to help Psycho and Leggies stay united.

    Rescue Topper From The Trumpethorn

    Topper originally appeared in the “Gone Are My Leggies” mission. Now, he and his legs are back, but they’ve been separated again. To start the first part of “To The Limb It,” talk to Leggies at Synthetic Nave. All you need to do is follow the legs as they lead you to a barn on the Dissected Plateau. When you arrive, you’ll see Topper in the window, asking for help. Open the doors, and you’ll face a big, aggressive Trumpethorn.

    Tip: Use Jakob’s guns, since hitting critical spots will ricochet bullets, killing nearby Calfhorns.

    Once the animals are defeated, Topper and Leggies will be reunited (for now), and the quest finishes.

    Free Topper

    The second part of the quest, called “Redux,” is the simplest of the three. You’ll meet Leggies in Rosemary’s Reserve, and they’ll tell you that Topper has wandered off again—much to your Vault Hunter’s annoyance. The legs will lead you to where Topper is trapped behind bars. To rescue him, grapple up the wall and find a grate that leads underground. Pull the grate off to free Topper, then escort him back to Leggies. When you do, the mission ends.

    Note: Topper is guarded by enemies in that area. It’s a good idea to deal with them first before freeing him.

    Help Topper Find Leggies One Last Time

    The final part, called “Couples Therapy,” begins when you talk to Topper at Idolator’s Noose. You’ll soon be attacked by Manglers, so clear them out first. Then start searching for Leggies. Topper will lead you through a couple of locations filled with Manglers—clear those out too. However, the legs won’t be there. Next, you’ll need to fight Wildhorns, but still no sign of Leggies. Finally, Topper guides you to one last spot, where you’ll find Leggies. You suggest using some duct tape to stop future separations, and that’s where the quest ends.

  • Thops’ Sorcerer Questline in Elden Ring

    Thops’ Sorcerer Questline in Elden Ring

    Sorcerer Thops is a sorrowful character in Elden Ring who has been exiled from his place of study. Stripped of resources and unable to find his way home, he turns to the Tarnished for assistance. It’s your mission to help this faltering soul find redemption.

    This guide provides information on locating Sorcerer Thops and assisting him in his journey back to the Academy of Raya Lucaria, where he ultimately meets his tragic end.

    Where to Find Sorcerer Thops in Elden Ring

    You can find Sorcerer Thops seated on a bench at the Church of Irith, located in the southern region of Liurnia of the Lakes.

    After defeating Godrick and exiting Castle Stormveil, head west to discover the partially ruined Church of Irith. Speak to Thops, who is seated beside Marika’s statue. He’ll request a donation of 10 Runes to teach you some sorceries. Once you agree, he’ll offer you the following spells.

    Thops reveals his past as a member of the Academy of Raya Lucaria and expresses a desire to return. To help him, he asks you to procure an Academy Glintstone Key.

    How to Obtain the Glintstone Key for Thops

    The Academy Glintstone Key can only be found inside Raya Lucaria Academy, specifically hanging from a chandelier in the Debate Parlor.

    To access the Academy of Raya Lucaria, you’ll first need to locate a key guarded by the Glintstone Dragon Smarag, located to the west of the Academy.

    If you present this key to Thops, he will decline, acknowledging that you need it more than he does.

    Now, make your way into Raya Lucaria Academy and defeat the Red Wolf of Radagon to reach the Debate Parlor.

    Exit the Debate Parlor and take a left to explore the debris. Ascend the nearby stairs and defeat the Academy Scholars. Continue north until you spot a corpse on the railing holding an item. Leap across the railing to land on the rooftops.

    Navigate the rooftops where you’ll encounter some enemies. Defeat the Marionette Soldiers and head south until you find a staircase. Ascend them and continue north until the path no longer leads ahead.

    Look down to spot a ledge to jump onto. Turn around and find another ledge nearby. Take out three enemies in the area and enter the building via a broken window. Cautiously traverse the rafters until you spot a chandelier below holding an item.

    Drop down to claim the spare Academy Glintstone Key meant for Thops. Then, fast travel back to the Church of Irith and give him the key. Thops will reward you with the Euridition Gesture, which can help you solve the puzzle at the Converted Fringe Tower. Afterward, he will depart for the Academy of Raya Lucaria.

    Rest at the grace site, and you will encounter a silver scarab. Defeat it to earn the Ash of War: Thops’ Barrier.

    Locate Thops Within the Academy of Raya Lucaria

    Fast travel to the Schoolhouse Classroom site of grace, then step outside. You’ll find Thops’ lifeless body resting in a chair in the courtyard. Interact with his corpse to gather the items he has left behind.

  • Completing the Seasonal Questline in Diablo 4: Belial’s Return

    Completing the Seasonal Questline in Diablo 4: Belial’s Return

    Diablo 4 is launching its eighth season, titled Belial’s Return, featuring fresh seasonal activities and an upgrade track for players to dive into. Throughout Sanctuary, you’ll encounter fierce apparitions of Belial’s minions. Defeat enough of them, and you can summon Belial himself for an epic overworld battle. Combined with a revamped boss structure for the endgame, this season promises plenty of engaging content.

    However, battling Belial is just the beginning of this new season. In this guide, we’ll outline how to initiate the Season 8 mechanics, explain the functioning of the Apparition Incursions, and briefly showcase the new Boss Powers seasonal feature.

    How to Start a Deceitful Incursion


    “A Deceitful Incursion” is the questline for Season 8 that kicks off after you complete the Diablo 4 main campaign. You do not need the Vessel of Hatred to begin. Once you finish the campaign, head to Kyovashad and talk to Sayeena to start the quest. This will introduce you to the main seasonal mechanics, upgrade system, and new activities.

    Locate the Source of the Apparitions

    Sayeena has identified some unsettling apparitions located at the eastern end of the Fractured Peaks. Move to the waypoint and eliminate the enemies there. If you’re just starting out and have skipped the campaign, now’s a great time to allocate your skill points. Once you’ve defeated the enemies, enter the newly revealed dungeon.

    You will encounter an Apparition of Kirma, a massive foe with a variety of area attacks and powerful melee strikes. This enemy can be quite challenging even on Normal difficulty, so maintain a safe distance when you can. Ideally, have a movement skill with Unstoppable ready to escape any stuns inflicted by Kirma. Wear down its health until it eventually disappears, then talk to Sayeena again.

    Complete Apparition Incursions

    This apparition is just one of many that have surfaced in Sanctuary since Lilith’s fall. These apparitions are central to the new seasonal mechanics. Every five minutes, an Apparition Incursion will spawn somewhere in Sanctuary. These events are similar to Legion Events, but drop seasonal currencies and provide reputation toward Sayeena’s rewards.

    When you reach an incursion and the activity begins, a horde of Belial’s minions will appear near the summoning ritual. Taking them down will trigger an apparition miniboss similar to the one you faced earlier. You’ll have support from other players nearby, making these encounters manageable. After defeating an apparition, the ritual will move to a different location. Relocate, defeat any visible minions, and repeat the process.

    Once your group has taken down two apparitions, Belial will appear to end the event. This boss employs a range of wide-area attacks and occasionally summons pillars that explode after a few seconds. Strafe around Belial as much as possible to avoid the majority of its attacks.

    After delivering the final blow, an event chest will spawn, and you will receive Spectral Ash, a currency used in the Boss Powers seasonal mechanic. Open your inventory and check the “Boss Powers” tab (located to the left of your main inventory) to see your new powers. We’ll provide a detailed guide for this mechanic later today.
