Distress Signal

**Distress Signal** is one of the Mystery Ylands found in the Arctic region, it costs 50 Exploration Points to unlock. Once unlocked it can be visited any amount of times or reset to be able to replay it again (it will cost 50 points to unlock it each subsequent reset). The main objective of this Yland is to find the key to unlock the transmitter station to stop the pirates signal from being broadcast. This Mystery Yland can become very cold so it is best to prepare by bringing Cold Resistance Potions or foods that provide cold resist such as Cup of Tea or Electric Nuggets, as well as warm clothing.

## Starting Out

Head for the North-Eastern side of the yland, there are red arrow signs pointing you to the correct location if you spawn on the wrong side. You will find a small wooden pier with a bonfire blazing opposite of it. Follow the path up the side of the cliff, there is a glowing red sign post but beware of the Polar Bears patrolling this yland. Head in the direction of the Transmitter, there is a Pirate guard here to deal with. Once you get close you can see what the transmitters message is saying, it is obvious that the pirates are pretending to be in need of help to lure victims to the yland. We need to stop this message from being broadcast but the door to the hut is locked so we must find the key.

Head in the direction of the Gate, following the red flares along the ground. Fight your way through the pirates and their Arctic Wolf pets. Continue following the red flares to the next signpost and then onwards to the Base Entrance.

Open the hatch to the base and climb down the ladder, follow the steel staircase down into the cave below. There are several pirate enemies here to deal with including the pirate captain who will drop the Pit key once killed. Inside the very left hut is a note saying that the Transmitter key has been attached to the Pit monster. Looks like that's where we need to go next. Back at the base of the stairs is a side door with a pirate at a large cannon, go through the doors and be ready to fight some aliens. Once they are dead, take the lift back up to the top of the yland.

Now we have the Pit key, head back to the Gate and then take a right following the red flares down the hill and across a bridge to a smaller yland. In the side of the mountain are the large locked doors leading into the Pit, use the Pit key to unlock them. Inside is a mini boss battle against some aliens. Several force fields drop one after the other releasing some Bugsheep and Dogroaches after you. Eventually the large Crickephant in the centre also attacks, but once you have killed it the Transmitter key appears in front of the large alien machinery.

Take the Transmitter key back to the transmitter station and use it to unlock the door. Interact with the computer to change the message and complete the mystery.

## Notable Loot

Immediately next to the pier, below the water are some sunken ship wrecks and an unlocked chest.

Across from the pier on the smaller yland is another unlocked chest stuck in the side of the cliff.

Another unlocked chest can be found at a small campsite on a part of the yland that sticks out on the Eastern side.

A locked green chest is located inside of a crashed airplane partway down the crevasse. The green key can be found on the pilot's seat in the other half of the wreckage on the opposite side of the crevasse.

Inside the Northern hut is the Red key on the table. The locked red metal container can be found inside of the alien space wreckage on top of the alien ship wreck above the Pit.

On the elevator platform is the Blue key. The locked blue chest is inside one of the huts in the Base.

In this same hut are 3x Pheromones on the table at the back.

From the elevator platform down in the Base, follow the water around a few corners to find an alien ship, inside are some unlocked metal containers with loot.
