As an anchor point between Aesperia‘s settled coasts and the unknowable wilderness beyond the Wastelands, Rock Pillar Gobby has loomed over curious explorers as a warning beacon since Tower of Fantasy first launched. But behind the neon-stained cliffs and danger lies phenomenal opportunity – for understanding Aida‘s past, unlocking powerful technologies, and elevating your strength as a Wanderer to new heights. The recent 2.0 update draws back the veil on some of Rock Pillar Gobby‘s many hidden wonders, but much remains undiscovered across its radically vertical kingdom.
This guide will illuminate everything we know so far about unsealing Rock Pillar Gobby‘s formidable terrain, from the intricate unlock process of its extended sectors to strategies for conquering their lethal trials. Read on to help chart the future of exploration across Aida‘s intoxicating frontiers!
Piercing the Unknown
Why does so much mystery still swirl around Rock Pillar Gobby, even following extensive implementation in 2.0? Some context helps explain…
Eons past, the region lay submerged beneath a prehistoric ocean spanning most of northern Aesperia. Catalytic volcanic eruptions and tectonic upheaval gradually raised the land over hundreds of millennia, exposing rich mineral formations concentrated by the primordial sea beds.
Attracted by rare element deposits from Cobalt-B to Energon crystals, an advanced civilization established numerous outposts across emergent islands, installing hyper-technology gateways and excavation infrastructure. But eventually catastrophic volcanic paroxysms shattered their strongholds, fire and ash smothering all evidence of culture.
In present times, only fossils of mechs/biomechs and decaying alien constructs half-buried in lava flows remain alongside shuddered-off shards of esoteric mechanisms glinting within stone galleries. Much has eroded in ferocious Aida conditions or lies concealed far from early settlement coasts. But 2.0 lifts the veil further…
Piercing the Fog – Unlocking New Sectors
Until now, vast sectors at Rock Pillar Gobby‘s fringes hid behind fog gate constraints – visible partially from lofty vistas but ultimately obscured without fulfilling specific conditions. That forbidden territory harbors untapped treasures for those bold enough to shatter its seal…
Two nondescript trigger points hold the key:
-
The Terracopia Mission Rally (687.5, -492.1) – Starts the process of unveiling RP Gobby‘s northwestern stretch. Seek a holo-emitter near this ruined construct ahead of Pyro prison. Activate to establish comms and initialize unlock protocol.
-
Energy Excavation Escort (296.8, -1013.7) – Fog gate barring southwest areas requires aligning batteries near a stranded convoy along former highways at Billows Valley‘s border. Guard sentries while conduits charge to fire a unsealing resonance pulse.
Completing these missions (recs: party of 4, combat rating ≥55) shifts the fog back permanently, welcoming brave visitors. But dangers (and rewards) also emerge…
Navigating the Sectors
Now open for exploration, these linked sectors essentially expand Rock Pillar Gobby west/north without altering fundamental traits – jagged geology, volatile conditions, and lethal opposition. Let‘s survey what wanderers can expect venturing in the wake of the fog…
Terrain
More sheer mountain faces, narrow ravines, exposed magma tubes and tottering volcanic plugs fuse to the flagship zone. Gassy pockets, toxic hot springs and radical elevation shifts enhance environmental hazards. Severe Aida storms also frequently whip this fringe.
Advanced climbing gear/oxygen aids recommended loadout
Enemies
Upgraded Magma Geezers, Pyro Agents, Volcanic Infusers and Igneous Iterations bring the pain, flanked by Scorch Arachnids, Ashlar Assassins and Cindercloud Cyclopes. The further you probe from the periphery, the more elite variants and bosses emerge.
CC Immunity, shields and +% damage vs mechs are crucial
Loot
Darksteel, Amygdala, Weapon Data Packs and Dealbreaker Matrices consistently detected in surveillance, with high value chest sigils indicating possibilities of exclusive Black Gold gear…
