Ysla Vulcana

**Ysla Vulcana** is one of the Mystery Ylands found in the Taiga and Tundra region costing 45 Exploration Points. It is a special player created map made by Mello who won 2nd/3rd equal place in the Season 2 competition. The main objectives of this Yland are to restore power to the rail line, get the refinery up and running, and then refuel the four stations across the map to receive the codes to unlock a secret vault hidden somewhere on the Yland.

## Map

Use this map as a guide for making your way around the Yland.

## Starting Out

The entrance to the harbor is on the Eastern side. Upon arrival can be seen the Ysla Vulcana Train Station. On the platform is a bowl with Dog Treats. The computer terminal on the outside wall shows you a map and your location, it also has a note system which will be very useful later on.

Inside there is a bookshelf with several collectible books.On the desk is a note detailing what needs to happen on the Yland. The basic gist is pirates have come looking for the secret safe and taken over the facilities and the player must complete a few objectives to open the safe first.

## Turning on the Power

The first objective is to turn the electricity back on but first we need the train, Emili, operational. Head to the back of the station to find a few Coal Deposits and mine them up using a Iron Pick or Steel Hand Drill. Interact with the train to hop on board. The HUD shows the controls, press `F` to refuel. Make sure the Coal is in the main inventory, it will not work if it is in the Mineral Basket. Press `Z` to ignite the engine an `W` to start driving forwards. The passenger wagons are optional and for fun if playing with friends but they will slow down the train. Grab the blue key found on the last one though, this will be used later.

Follow the train tracks ahead and stop before the tunnel, press `X` to exit the train. Down to the left towards the harbor is the Power Station, it is currently not active and needs to be turned on. Find the secret red main valve on the wall of the dam underwater, then there is a red drain valve on the dam water outlet. The four grey generator valves on the red pipes in the main area need to be activated next. Once that is done the circuit breaker switch needs to be activated too, the lights will come on if done correctly. Now the power is back on we can head to the Oil Refinery.

## Oil Refinery

Hop back aboard the train and follow the tracks until you get to a fork at switcher 0, make sure to keep left, the track switcher can be used to change tracks but it should already be in the right position. At the next fork at switcher 1, keep left again. This will lead you to the Oil Refinery where you need to jump onto the centre track, make sure switcher 2 is pointing to the right and then reverse back to hook up the oil tankers. Press `H` to connect to the first one and then reverse back again to connect to the second one. Drive forward and pull up outside the refueling station. There is a metal gate on the other side where the tankers were that can be opened to get inside but be careful as there are several pirates here that need to be dealt with.

The computer terminal shows you several things that are offline and need activating. Starting off on the ground, find the main circuit breaker switch on a small building on the East of the site and flip it to power the site. After that the four oil tank valves can be turned on, these are up on top of the big oil tanks.

Next turn on the main pump valve on the West side. Now switch on the mining engine, this will start pumping oil into the tanks. Make sure to climb onto the roof to activate both combustion valves to burn off the sewerage out of the oil like it mentioned in the description paper back in the Train Station.

Use the button on the wall to open the gate so we can use the refueling station. Interact with the levers at the refueling station to operate the refueling pump crane. Use `W` to push the arm out towards the oil tankers and `A` and `D` to align it horizontally. Press `Q` to refuel the tanker. Repeat for the second tanker, you may have to drive the train forward to bring it into reach of the arm.

## Coding Stations

Now with the oil tankers filled, take the train back to the outer track by turning switcher 4 to the left and then leave the refinery area. Follow the tracks until the next fork and turn switcher 3 to face left. This track goes under the mountain and into the volcano. Once at the next fork turn switcher 9 to point right and follow the track to coding station #3, park the oil tanker underneath the scanner and exit the train. Activate the device by pressing the button on the side and wait for it to scan and refuel from one of your tankers.

Once refueled, a panel on the back of the coding device will open revealing four dials. This is one of the secret codes needed to open the hidden safe. Use the computer terminal to write the code down as a note, this will be visible at all other terminals. The codes are randomly generated each play-through so the code in the screenshot won't necessarily be accurate. Now with station #3 out of the way, continue down the track to exit the volcano where you will see a Farmhouse to the left. Defeat the pirates here and loot the house for Health Potions and other items. There is also a Prison Tower out on the rock with a locked blue chest that matches the blue key found on the passenger wagons back at the Train Station. Back on the train, follow the path and it should lead back to the train station.

One oil tanker is still full so continue following the track past the train station and then at the first fork turn switcher 0 to the right and follow the track a short while to reach coding station #1. Hanging on the side of the station is a red key, this is used for a chest found at the depot. Refuel the device to unlock the #1 code and write it down in the computer terminal. Now both tankers are empty, reverse back to switcher 0 and turn it to the left again. Follow the track back to the oil refinery and fill both tankers up.

With both tankers full again, reverse the train back out of the refinery to switcher 1 and turn it point right. Follow this track up the hill to the Depot. Here there are blue bins full of ingots that can be taken as well as various steel parts inside the building. There is also a red chest that needs to be unlocked with the red key found earlier under one of the storage racks inside. A wagon box with storage space and a work light and a bed cart are on the track inside, these can be connected to the train but will slow it down significantly when already towing the tankers and are more for fun after finishing the mystery.

Continue to follow the track heading left at switcher 5 to reach coding station #2. Fuel it up to receive the #2 code and don't forget to write it down in the computer terminal. There is one more coding device to refuel so reverse back down to the Depot and turn switcher 5 to the right and then go left at switcher 8.

Follow this track to reach coding station #4, refuel it and receive #4 code and write it into the computer terminal notes. Now with all tankers empty and no more use for the train you can either leave the train there or take or park it somewhere out of the way. With all four secret codes we must now find the hidden safe. The description paper had a hint that you won't need clothes looking for it as it will be far too hot.

## The Safe

Head into the volcano to look for the safe. There is a cave just above coding station #3 that leads down to the safe entrance. Defeat the pirates that are already there trying to break in. With them out of the way, access the computer terminal to see the codes that you wrote down earlier. Use the levers to turn the dials to the correct number for all four codes and then the safe door will unlock and open. Entering will complete the Mystery.
