If you've run out of tasks in Albion, we've got you covered with our Sunless Skies Eleutheria and the Blue Kingdom tips guide. We will help you survive the last two regions of Sunless Skies that are open for your exploration. 


Eleutheria and Blue Kingdom Tips

Just like Albion and the Reach, each brings a different aesthetic and its own unique set of challenges to the High Wilderness. Unlike The Reach and Albion, however, these two zones can get a bit odd.

Eleutheria and the Blue Kingdom are expensive, much more so than the Reach or even Albion. When you head out, make sure you have enough sovereigns stocked up to start quests and purchase Bargains so you can start making money.

Suit up your Locomotive with some Upgrades from Eleutheria and the Blue Kingdom as soon as you start your journey there; otherwise, you’re going to end up crushed like a tin can in a compactor before you have a chance to sneeze.

Hull is more difficult to repair in Eleutheria and the Blue Kingdom; make sure you’re intact before setting off. You’ll need specific Gratitude and Mysteries in order to repair it in both major ports, not money. Keep an eye on your hull as you journey and plan your route around it if necessary. Don’t forget to suit up with extra armor and plating if needed, and remember that these do not start out filled with Hull Points when you initially equip them.


Eleutheria 

One of our most important Elutheria tips: pick your Faction very carefully. Don’t forget that it doesn’t just affect who will help you, but who will become your enemies. You also don’t have to pick a Faction if you don’t want to, but certain storylines won’t open until you decide on a Faction. If you pick a Faction as one Captain you can always go and pick a different one the next time around.

Keep an eye out for Hermits, they can grant you Eleutherian Mysteries. These can be easier to find than to keep slogging Port Reports back and forth multiple times, though Port Reports help do help.

Extremely ominous.

You can turn your front light on and off as needed, but without it, Terror will rise more quickly. If you encounter enemies who attack based on whether your light is on or off, switching it will not suddenly make you invisible to them. In fact, it seems to make them more pissed off.

Not all enemies will make themselves known, particularly in Eleutheria. Some are camouflaged and some pop right out of thin air, so always be on your guard. Enemies that are camouflaged can be snuck past, if you done correctly. Unfortunately, nothing stops giant screaming skeletons from falling out of midair to trounce you.


Blue Kingdom

Those giant Sigils that keep trying to murder you in the Blue Kingdom have a very specific attack pattern. Once you figure it out, that makes it much easier to defeat them. They do lurk all around the Kingdom, not just in one specific area and have a large amount of hit points, so be ready for battle at any time.

You might wanna try and avoid those.

Your status of being deceased or not does control where you can go and what you can do in the Blue Kingdom. Scout out different ports first before taking the plunge. Each status opens up new and different opportunities for you.
