Hi, I tried searching for a precise answer but couldn’t find it. What exact checkmarks/flags need to be passed in order to unlock elite and then ultimate difficulties? I’m trying to shove a guy through the game as quickly as possible in a headlong effort to level up quickly, if the context helps. Spoilers I suppose, tell me if I’m totally wrong on this:
From what I gather, here’s what needs to be done:
-
The door NE in Homestead needs to be open, and some conditions have to be met to do this
1-1: You need to have reported the Aetherial Amalgamation’s defeat to Cpt Somer
1-2: You need to have been told by Ulgrim to talk to Cpt Somer in the first place
1-3: For Ulgrim to be there, you have to have made it to Deadman’s Gulch and done his quest to get everyone over to Homestead
1-4: To make it to Deadman’s Gulch, you have to amass 3000 iron bits and 6 scrap to rebuild the bridge NW, then follow the path through Cronley’s Hideout, Arkovia, Broken Hills etc. to get there
1-5: Basically this means you gotta farm a bit in “act 1” content or just enough in the Crucible to buy your way through -
You need to unlock the NE gate in Fort Ikon
2-1: Ulgrim or Creed or someone have to be there for the Ikon questline to begin (Outcast and Aetherial general quest) to let you through
2-2: In order for them to be there, you have to finish up Cpt Somer’s quests (I believe this entails finding the farmers in the Blood Grove) -
You need to get into Seal of the Logorrhean area, which I believe just involves meeting up with Ulgrim there and destroying their blood supply
-
Kill Logorrhean, unlocking the next difficulty
Is this about right? My character is currently standing in Fort Ikon with like 2 hours and 45 minutes on the clock and I can’t figure out for certain what I need to proceed. I haven’t done the Blood Grove farmer quest yet. Thanks.
