Overview

Floating Islands is a Location located within the [[]] Region, requiring a minimum Rank of Archduke/Archduchess and the Dirigible and Flight License Map Piece to access. The Dirigible and Flight License can be purchased at the Moussu Picchu Cartographer for

Floating Islands makes use of 8 different Power Types, nearly every available one in the game, namely:

Mice here are able to pillage Standard Cheese, Points and Gold if one fails to capture them.

Hunters first collect Cloud Curd to purchase Cloud Cheesecake while at the Launch Pad. All 8 Power Types are effective here. Subsequently, Hunters fly towards specific Power Type Islands to hunt mice using their Sky Map. There are 2 versions of each Island, Low Altitude and High Altitude. Hunters must first clear a minimum of 4 Low Altitude Islands and defeat 4 different Wardens to unlock a single High Altitude Island. While hunting on the islands, mice will drop loot used to upgrade your Skyfarer's Oculus, customise your Dirigible and obtain new Traps.

HUD

The HUD tracks the Following Items:


  • Number of Sky Wardens remaining

While on the Launch Pad:

  • Hunters can access the Workshop on the HUD to upgrade their Oculus to or change the cosmetic skins on their dirigible. Their Oculus level is displayed above the Workshop icon
  • The Sky Map is located here. It allows Hunters to select which Power Type Island they want to visit.
  • There is also a Log that tracks the progress of a previous run.

While on Islands

  • The HUD tracks the progress while on both Low Altitude and High Altitude Islands. It is represented by a progress bar made up smaller boxes.

Trap Library

Hunters will be able to save specific setups for every Island and the Launchpad. This feature will automatically change a Hunter's trap setup to the saved one for the corresponding Island or Launch Pad upon hitting the respective sub-location. Components that can be saved include:

If a Hunter does not have any more of the saved Cheese or Charm remaining in their inventory, it will be highlighted with a red box. All other components will still be changed. If a hunter refunds a saved Weapon or Base, that component will also be highlighted in red while the other available ones will be changed.

Gmaeplay Mechanics

Launch Pad

On the Launch Pad Hunters will be able to hunt mice to collect Cloud Curd to purchase Cloud Cheesecake with.

Here, the Workshop, Skymap and Log can be accessed.

All Launch Patch Group Mice are weak agianst all 8 Power Types.

Workshop

While exploring islands you'll find Sky Ore and Sky Glass which you can use to upgrade your Skyfarer's Oculus. Upgrades will add a greater quantity and variety of Island features to the Sky Map. As you upgrade your Skyfarer's Oculus the Islands you're able to visit become more diverse and lucrative.

Sky Map

Opening the Sky Map on the Launch Pad allows a hunter to choose between 8 unique, randomised islands to visit. There is one island for each of the 8 Power Types and the unique checkerboard interface shows what kind of loot you'll find on each of the islands. On the same board are all the buffs available to the Hunter via upgrades at the Workshop

Your main objective when selecting and visiting an island is to defeat the four Sky Wardens: Fog, Wind, Rain, and Frost. Once one is defeated it's removed from the Sky Map and once all four are defeated your Dirigible will be able to ascend to the more lucrative High Altitude Islands.

The Sky Map is split into 2 orientations:

Hunters are encouraged to select which Islands they would like to visit based on the loot and buffs available on said Island. When selecting an Island, all loot and buffs highlighted by the interface on the specific horisontal row or vertical column associated with the Power Type can be found on the Island]]. Be sure to select an Island with a Warden Shrine available. They are depicted by the Hexagonal runes. Every Warden Shrine will always be available on 2 different Islands, one horisontal, one vertical. Hunters are advised to pick the one where they have got a better trap set up for. However, if simply after loot, Hunters may opt to pick an island with the most loot buffs rather than a [Warden Shrine

Pay attention to the order of the loot and buff as it appears in the same order while hunting on an Island. Horisontal from left to right and Vertical from bottom to top. IE the buff nearer to the Power Type icon on the Sky Map will always appear first on the Island.

Hunters can use [[]] to reroll their 'Sky Map to obtain a more favourable loot and buff layout that suits their needs.

Loot and Buffs
  • See workshop upgrades

While on Islands

Low Altitude Island

By default, all Hunters start on a Low Altitude Island with a maximum of 75 hunts. While visiting a Low Altitude Island, your objective is to explore the island, collect loot and defeat a Sky Warden if one is present. As you explore the island you'll activate different effects and loot caches that determine what items mice drop, which mice you encounter, and even how quickly you explore the island.

Effects and Loot Caches are activated in order as selected on the Sky Map. The same 4 Squares from the Sky Map is now enlarged on the HUD. Each square is equivalent to 10 hunts while on an Island. Clearing a square with a buff will activate its effect. Clearing a square with no buff doesn't affect progress.

Each successful hunt will progress your exploration while each unsuccessful hunt will allow the hoards of mice to unravel some of your progress. This is reflected in the progress bar across the 4 squares with your position on the left and the enemy's on the right. Once the bars meet you'll potentially encounter a Sky Warden in a tug-of-war standoff! It takes a maximum of 40 hunts to unlock a Sky Warden.

High Altitude Island

After clearing all 4 Sky Wardens on Low Altitude Islands, Hunters will be able to access a High Altitude Island...............
