Ready for more Hero Points? After conquering Heart of Thorns, it's time to venture into the cosmic realms of Visions of Eternity! This guide continues our series, walking you through the fastest routes to grab those precious points you need.
This time we're exploring VoE's mystical zones, where cosmic forces and ancient mysteries create a completely different experience from the jungle. The mount requirements are flexible: you'll want either a Raptor or Warclaw, a Springer, and either a Skimmer or Skyscale. Basic Gliding helps too!
Here's the best part: unlike the challenging jungle Hero Challenges, these are quick and easy! You'll breeze through the route and unlock up to 300 Hero Points in no time.
Let's dive into Castora and grab those points!
Shipwreck Strand
First stop: Shipwreck Stand with 15 Hero Points! Most of these are simple interactables, making this zone a quick run. You'll need your Skimmer ready for the coastal terrain and vertical sections, while Skyscale will make the job much easier!
