Pokemon Go Brings Three More Legendary Pokemon Back Next Week

Another trio of Legendary Pokemon are returning to Pokemon Go very soon. Beginning Tuesday, November 24, the Legendary lake trio Azelf, Mesprit, and Uxie will once again appear in Raids as part of a new Lake Legends event, which will also feature new Field Research tasks, a new Shiny Pokemon, and more.

The Lake Legends event kicks off at 1 PM PT–immediately following Terrakion, Cobalion, and Virizion‘s departure from the game–and runs until the same time on November 30. Not only will the Lake trio be available again in five-star Raids throughout that week, but you’ll also be more likely to encounter certain kinds of Pokemon in the wild and in eggs, including the following monsters:

  • Psyduck
  • Goldeen
  • Magikarp
  • Surskit
  • Starly
  • Bidoof
  • Shellos
  • Abra
  • Machop
  • Ralts

On top of that, Shiny Goldeen will be available during the Lake Legends event. Niantic will also offer themed Field Research tasks to complete during the event, and you’ll be able to earn new rewards by completing AR Mapping tasks. You can read more about the Lake Legends event on the official Pokemon Go website.

In the meantime, to celebrate Pokemon Go support being added to Pokemon Home, the mobile game is holding a new Pokemon Home event until November 23. Throughout the event, certain Pokemon like Alolan Sandshrew, Alolan Diglett, and Shiny Slowpoke are appearing in the wild more often than usual. Shiny Meltan is also available again; you’ll have a chance to encounter the Shiny Mythical Pokemon each time you open the Mystery Box during the event.

Beyond that, Pokemon Go’s second November 2020 Community Day is also set for this Saturday, November 21. The featured Pokemon for this weekend’s event will be Magmar, and if you can evolve it into Magmortar up to two hours after the Community Day ends, the Fire Pokemon will learn the Electric-type Charged attack Thunderbolt.

Destiny 2 Goes Free-To-Play On Stadia This Week

Google has announced that Destiny 2 will be free-to-play on Stadia starting November 17. Whether players are Pro members or not, any Stadia user can play Destiny 2 at no additional charge.

As announced on the official Stadia blog, this freebie includes the “core Destiny 2 experience,” suggesting it won’t feature all of its DLC and seasonal content. An exact rundown on what’s available was not shared.

Also on November 17, Destiny 2: The Collection–a package that bundles Destiny 2’s earlier expansions, such as Forsaken and Shadowkeep–will no longer be available for Stadia Pro subscribers to download. Stadia Pro members who already downloaded Destiny 2: The Collection will still have access to the game so long as they maintain their subscription.

There are a few other Stadia updates as well. The 64-player battle royale version of Pac-Man, Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle, is now available to purchase for $20 USD. So, too, is Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate Edition, which retails for $60 USD on Stadia. And ahead of its December 3 launch, the Immortals Fenyx Rising demo has returned as a free download until December 21.

Destiny 2’s latest expansion, Beyond Light, has seen some issues since launch. Despite its myriad problems, though, developer Bungie still plans to release the new raid on November 21.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Guide: How To Unseal The Well Of Urdr For The “Well-Traveled” Quest

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla connects the Viking age to the deep Assassin’s Creed lore, which means there are plenty of secrets to uncover. One such mystery is the pathway to the Well of Urdr in Asgard, as part of the Well-Traveled quest. The way is blocked by gates that respond to beams of light, and you know what that means: it’s time for a mirror puzzle.

As you may expect if you’ve encountered mirror puzzles in other games, the goal is simply to position the beam of light towards a node that will unlock the gates. As the puzzles get trickier, you’ll need to split or reflect the beams to make them hit more than one target. What makes the Well of Urdr puzzle especially tricky is that the cave is very dark, so you won’t necessarily be able to see the entire solution clearly. That means you’ll have to use some more trial and error to get the positioning right–but knowing where to look should help.

No Caption Provided

The first light beam is easy, since it simply introduces you to the concept. When you progress to the second part of the puzzle, aim the light source upward, toward the back of the room between the two large trees. That reflector will split the beam into two separate beams running in opposite directions.

From there, it’s just a matter of connecting those two beams to their closest neighbors until they reach the final node. For one beam, that means aiming downward to the ground level and then over to the nearest node. For the other, it means wrapping the beams around a series of platforms to reach the ground level.

No Caption Provided

Once you’ve connected all the nodes have connected, you can jump in to collect the water. And that’s all there is to it!
