The ability to climb anything and everything was introduced in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, so it would just feel wrong to play The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom without it. The only limit to what you can scale in this game is Link's stamina, but there are other ways to boost your climbing prowess. While foods can offer a temporary buff to stamina, there's one outfit in particular that can give you a more reliable boost to your climbing speed. The Climbing Gear set is probably the best to wear if you've got a lot of climbing to do in Tears of the Kingdom, so here's where you can snag it.

How to get the Climbing Gear

The Climbing Gear set is divided into three pieces: the chest, legs, and headpiece.

Step 1: To find the chest, find a hole in the ground called the North Hyrule Plain Cave at the coordinates -1188, 0646, 0072.

Step 2: Travel inside until you find a tiered waterfall guarded by a Horriblin.

Step 3: Enter the secret room behind the upper waterfall to find the chest with the armor.

Step 4: The legs will be found at the Upland Zorana Byroad at 2858, 0354, 0227.

Step 5: Inside the cave, take a right at the first fork.

Step 6: Chop or burn your way through a vine wall blocking your path.

Step 7: Platform across the water to a door that you can use Ultrahand to open and drain the water.

Step 8: Access the doorway under the staircase to grab the Climbing Boots from the chest.

Step 9: Finally, the headpiece is in the Ploymus Mountain Cave at 3663, 0539, 0272.

Step 10: You won't get lost in this cave, but it is a bit difficult to actually move through, so take your time.

Step 11: Once you make it to the end and up to a higher level, go through the open area to your right and into the room with the final chest containing the Climber's Bandanna.

How to get and use the metal detector in Atomfall
Holding a weapon in Atomfall.

Atomfall is a completely open-ended RPG. After a quick intro, you are free to go and do almost anything you want within the zone to find a way out. Instead of quests, the game features investigations that require a lot more thought and observation to solve compared to other games that simply give you a quest marker to follow. Even some of the major items in the game, like the metal detector, can be completely missed if you don't happen to find one. This tool can help you grab a lot of valuable supplies in the wilderness, which you will constantly be in need of. We won't be as cryptic as Atomfall and give you specific directions on how to get and use the metal detector.
How to get and use the metal detector

There are multiple ways to get almost everything ing Atomfall, including the metal detector. However, the first and easiest way to get one is to go to the village of Wyndham. Unless you've pissed off the wrong people, this is a peaceful location where you can find the majority of the game's traders.

How long is Atomfall?
An enemy in Atomfall.

With an RPG that claims to be as deep and dynamic as Atomfall, questions about its length are sure to come up. While it isn't a fully open-world game, you will be exploring giant hubs with little direction from the game on what to investigate or when. Structurally, Atomfall shares a lot of DNA with Fallout, but those are some of the longest RPGs on the market. If you're curious how much time you could end up sinking into this title, we'll break down how long it might take you to see the end.
How long is Atomfall?

The trouble with estimating how long Atomfall will take is that it is very much up to you as a player. For example, there is an Achievement in the game for beating it in under 5 hours. Accomplishing that almost necessitates prior knowledge, though, but does demonstrate how quickly you could reach the end if you tried. In our experience, we were able to beat the game in a mostly focused playthrough in about 8 hours. That was us mainly ignoring optional quests and other possible paths to an ending and focusing squarely on one. There is also a high degree of variability based on combat and how quickly you can figure out where to go based on the game's general lack of waypoints guiding you to objectives.

The best Naoe gear in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
One of the protagonists in Assassin's Creed Shadows.

Assassin's Creed Shadowsintroduces a few interesting twists on the series' established formula. There are new features like Scouts and a fully upgradable hideout, but the big change is the addition of two distinct protagonists Naoe and Yasuke. Unlike Syndicate, these two characters serve vastly different roles, with Naoe being suited more towards stealth and Yasuke a better fighter. Each one has their own skills to unlock, but just as important is equipping them with the best gear. You will be drowning in loot over your playtime so knowing which is worth keeping and upgrading can be tricky. If Naoe is your preferred character, these are the items you should be using to maximize her potential.
Best Naoe gear

Naoe can hold two weapons, plus armor, headgear, and a trinket. These are the ones we found to be the most powerful for her.
Weapons
For Naoe's katana, the Bloodshade legendary katana has the most powerful bleed abilities in the game. It obviously inflicts bleed, but its special perk is that bleed buildup doesn't drain over time so you don't have to be overly aggressive to get it to proc. You can find this katana on a ship to the west of Osaka on the coast of Amagasaki in Izumi Settsu.
