Details on the Torontoshell Creature
This lumbering, loyal beast kickstarts the puzzle. Described affectionately as “friendly” by the developers, the Torontoshell likely serves as one of several ridable creatures Cal tames on his journey. While its full origins remain unexplained, we know a few key details:
- It has a single large tusk perfect for climbing
- By using Focus, Cal establishes a connection with the Torontoshell
- This ability calms and bonds with nearby creatures
- It proves essential for the quest
- Traversal along its back and tusk serves as the early platforming challenge
Here‘s what focusing on the Torontoshell looks like, based on preview images:
After focusing, the journey takes Cal deep into the Winding Ravine.
Navigating the Treacherous Winding Ravine
The rocky slopes, perilous precipices, and twisting tunnels of the Winding Ravine provide the setting for this quest‘s central platforming challenge. Guided only by his connection with the loyal Torontoshell, Cal must employ all his Jedi talents to traverse this environmental maze.
Lush jungles and eerie ruins are among the landmarks Cal encounters. But dangers both natural and supernatural lurk around every turn, ready to impede his progress. Survival demands intense concentration Whie navigating the area‘s traps and pitfalls.
Here‘s one of the rocky passages Cal must platform across:
Making things more treacherous, the Winding Ravine also houses at least one deadly opponent – the Gorocco. After reaching what appears to be the tail end of the Torontoshell ride, this beast bars the way forward. To progress, Cal must defeat this guardian creature in intense combat.
Strategies for Defeating the Gorocco
While no footage exists of the Gorocco battle itself, we know it blocks the exit from from the Winding Ravine area. Likely it serves as a sort of gatekeeper – a final test of Cal‘s skill before unlocking the cliffside treasure.
As a formidable foe, the Gorocco demands careful technique and well-timed dodging to take down. Here are some battle strategies to consider:
- Observe attack patterns – Every enemy exhibits behaviors you can exploit. Analyze and learn the Gorocco‘s moves.
- Parry effectively – Carefully-timed parries will open the Gorocco to devastating counterattacks.
- Utilize Force powers – Skills like Slow help manage dangerous enemies.
- Attack strategically – Don‘t just wildly strike – carefully weaken and disorient the Gorocco before moving in for final blows.
- Develop backup plans if initial strategies fail. The Relter may assist here.
With persistence and the above tactics, you can topple the Gorocco, escape the Winding Ravine, and reach the concluding Relter ride.
Riding the Relter to the Cliffside Chest
Having defeated the Gorocco, Cal finds more than an escape route – he discovers a new friendly creature to befriend. The Relter offers itself as the ideal way to traverse the remainder of the quest.
This noble beast safely transports Cal along an elevated mountain pass. Eventually they reach the true journey‘s end – a cliff face with an ancient carved chest awaiting. By interacting with this relic, Cal finishes the entire Friendly Creature side quest and claims his reward.
Opening the Chest and Completing the Rumor
All journeys require mastery of skills physical and spiritual. Guided by Focus and the living Force , Cal overcame trials of traversal, combat, and bonding with creatures. His victory grants access to the mystical cliffside chest.
The chest itself brims with history. Arcane carvings coat its surface, symbols of the sacred knowledge within. This ancient box serves as the resting place for rumors of Jedi lore and legend. By opening it, Cal completes one such rumor and earns new equipment.
Specifically, the chest bequeaths Cal with a flashy Hunter Lightsaber part. This beautifully ornate hilt marks Cal as a true master of his craft. It also expands his customization options for finer control over his weapon and style.
Thus the Rumor quest concludes, but the journey continues for both Cal and the player. Having honed your skills and courage, you‘re ready for the trials and adventures that await in the main story. And equipped with new steel, Cal stands more capable of facing the darkness as one of the last Jedi.
