Shrines are back in Tears of the Kingdom, and there are even more to take on this time around. They operate in much the same way as last time, though they do revolve around a different set of abilities, like the new Ultrahand ability that allows you to glue objects together.

Whether you want to increase your health and stamina, or just simply want to complete every Shrine there is to complete in Tears of the Kingdom, there’s plenty of reasons to spend some time tracking down and completing Shrines.

Here’s how many Shrines there are in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, as well as some general information on how Shrines work this time. Make sure to mark Shrines as you find them while exploring, so that you can return to them later.

How many Shrines are there in Tears of the Kingdom?

There are a total of 152 Shrines in Tears of the Kingdom. This is 32 more than in Breath of the Wild, and there’s likely a good reason for this. Tears of the Kingdom features additional areas in its Depths and Sky Island maps, meaning there’s simply more to do, and more to explore. While there are indeed Shrines to be found up in the sky, it’s worth noting that there aren’t any in the Depths.

So there you have it, that’s how many Shrines there are in Tears of the Kingdom. For more help with the game be sure to visit our guide on getting the Paraglider.

The Paraglider in Tears of the Kingdom functions much in the same way as in the last game. The thing to note here is that you will not start with it in your possession, making the tutorial section quite tricky for those that hate climbing. Thankfully, it doesn’t take long for the Paraglider to become available, however.

• READ MORE: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom review

You see, you’ll receive the Paraglider after arriving in Hyrule, and after completing a short main mission. The Paraglider is absolutely essential for exploring, so consider following the main path for a few hours or so after beating the tutorial. You’ll pick up new functions for your Purah Pad along the way, and learn more about where the game wants you to go.

Here’s where to get the Paraglider in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, as well as a bit of info on how to use it. Note that you will need to push through the opening section on the Sky Islands before you’ll be able to reach Hyrule’s ground map.

How to get the Paraglider in Tears of the Kingdom

Tears of the Kingdom’s opening 2 or 3 hours take place on a huge Sky Island map. You will need to visit Shrines to power up your new arm, while learning the abilities that you’ll be using for the rest of the game. Once this section is complete, you will dive down to ground-level. This is where you can pick up the Paraglider.

We’ve marked the location you’re looking for on the map above, but you will not have full access to this region’s map yet. Head towards Hyrule castle, and you will see a small settlement, found South of the main gate. Generally, you will land South of Lookout Landing after your first descent from the sky islands. Head North and you will come across Lookout Landing.

Upon arriving at Lookout Landing, you will be told to go and see Purah, she is up at the observatory to the North of the settlement. She will send you further North, to find Captain Hoz. Just exit Lookout Landing via the North and follow the road up and into the castle area. You can use Ultrahand to open the main gate and continue.

You just need to follow the road around, and then climb up to the first gate that you are directed towards. Speak to Hoz, and then make your way back to Purah. She will reward you with the Paraglider.

How to use the Paraglider in Tears of the Kingdom

To use the Paraglider in Tears of the Kingdom, just press B while in the air. This can be after a jump, while falling, or while in a wind current/gust. Once your glider is open, you’ll see a green stamina gauge. This will slowly deplete as you hand from the glider. Once you’re out of stamina, you will let go, so make sure to be close to the ground when this happens.

The Paraglider is an essential tool, allowing you to ride wind currents, and glide to far away destinations. Experiment with it in the early hours to get a better idea of its limits, and always keep a stamina elixir or two on you at all times to prevent fall damage and death.

That’s how to get the Paraglider in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. For more help with the game, be sure to check out our guide on how many Shrines there are in Tears of the Kingdom.

Star Wars Jedi Survivor’s main story will take you across six locations. Most of these are planets, and for the sake of simplicity, we’ll be calling them all planets for this list. Some of them will be familiar to Star Wars fans, while others are brand new creations featured for the first time in this game’s story.

• READ MORE: ‘The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’ review: surprisingly safe sequel

This being Star Wars, you’re probably expecting to visit a good range of locales and biomes as you play through Star Wars Jedi Survivor. While there’s definitely less diversity than shown in Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, Survivor does have a good mix of planets to visit.

Here’s the Star Wars Jedi Survivor planet list, with a bit of information on each. Note that there will be spoilers in this guide, so if you don’t want to know where the story goes, then click away now.

‘Star Wars Jedi Survivor’ planets list

Here are the six main locations you’ll visit while playing Star Wars Jedi Survivor:

• Coruscant
• Koboh
• Jedha
• Shattered Moon
• Nova Garon
• Tanalorr

Coruscant

The setting of much of the Prequel Trilogy, Coruscant is a city-planet that has been the galactic capital for millennia. In Star Wars Jedi Survivor, it’s the seat of power for the Empire.

Koboh

Koboh is the main hub world in Star Wars Jedi Survivor. It’s home to Rambler’s Reach, where Greez runs Pyloon’s Saloon. It’s a rugged planet that was once the frontier of the Republic’s reach, but now sits as little more than a shadow on the edge of the Outer Rim.

Jedha

Jedha, known formerly as NiJedha, has long had a special significance for those who worship the Force. Now, it’s where the last Jedi archives are hidden, overseen by Cere.

Shattered Moon

The orbiting moon of Koboh hangs above the planet, having been damaged in some past disaster. Huge chunks of crust and mantle spew from the moon’s surface, and it’s said that pieces of it once crashed down onto Koboh.

Nova Garon

Hidden amongst a dense cluster of stellar crystals, the ISB manages to operate both a clandestine listening-station and a fully-armed Imperial staging area. Expect giant blue crystals, and heavy Imperial presence.

Tanalorr

Star Wars Jedi Survivor’s story pretty much focuses on the search for Tanalorr. It’s a planet hidden behind a huge electrical anomaly called The Abyss. It was discovered during the High Republic era, and from the start of the game, is hoped to be a possible refuge from the Empire, and new home for the Hidden Path.

Those are all of the main planets you’ll visit while playing Star Wars Jedi Survivor. For more on the game be sure to check out our pick for the best stance in Star Wars Jedi Survivor.

Elsewhere in gaming, Team Cherry has announced that its highly anticipated sequel to Hollow Knight – Hollow Knight: Silksong– has been delayed.

Star Wars Jedi Survivor offers up five different Lightsaber Stances for players to try out. Each one offers a slightly different attacking and defending style, with one even throwing a blaster into the mix as well. Of course, you’ll have a favourite Stance based on personal preference, but is there an overall best Stance? We certainly think so.

• READ MORE: ‘Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’ review: force majeure

Different Lightsaber Stances generally excel at different things. Depending on whether you’re facing down a boss, multiple droids, or ranged enemies, the Stance you’re using can really determine how difficult a battle is likely to be.

Here’s the best Stance to use in Star Wars Jedi Survivor, as well as some tips on some back up options that’ll thrive in boss battles, and other specific battles types.

What is the best Lightsaber Stance in ‘Star Wars Jedi Survivor’

For our money, the best Stance in Star Wars Jedi Survivor is the Double-Bladed Lightsaber. There are a few reasons for this, namely because it offers the best defence against ranged attacks, and is great for fighting off multiple enemies at once. Upgrades will make blaster-deflecting seriously damaging to foes, and the Endless Hurricane combo is extremely fast if you can pull it off.

Against bosses, the Double-Bladed Lightsaber stacks up rather well. You have enough defence to weather strong attacks, and plenty of speed to dodge around the battlefield. The main thing that this option lacks is Power, which can mean slightly draw out boss fights.

This is why we recommend pairing the Double-Bladed Lightsaber with the Crossguard Lightsaber. This is the best choice for boss fights, as it allows you to do more damage to an enemy’s stagger meter per hit. Switching between these two Stances is the best option you have while playing Star Wars Jedi Survivor.

So there you have it, that’s the best Stance in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. For more help with the game, be sure to check out our guide on the Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Mission List. This will allow you to see how far along in the story you are.

Help Zygg in the swamp is a Rumour mission in Star Wars Jedi Survivor. It gives you a location to visit: a small hut found in the Viscid Bog area of Koboh, where you’ll find Zygg, who has misplaced a datapad.

• READ MORE: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor review

The thing with this mission, is that it’s very easy to get confused at to what you have to do. For some players, us included, the objective marker will not change after speaking to Zygg, and if you didn’t pick up on that they were saying the first time around, you’ll be completely lost.

Here’s how to help Zygg in the swamp in Star Wars Jedi Survivor, including a look at where to find their lost datapad.

How to help Zygg in the swamp in Star Wars Jedi Survivor

Once you’ve picked up the quest to help Zygg in the Swamp, you will need to make your way to the location marked on your map. This is the Viscid Bog region of Koboh, and can be reached as part of the main story. You can see the spot you’re aiming for on the map below:

Once you’ve reached this location, you’ll see a small hut in front of you. Speak to Zygg inside, and they will tell you that they have lost a datapad full of research. Even worse, a bird flew off with it. Now, at this point the quest will either give you a new marker to follow, or it will bug out. No worries, you’re heading up to the Meditation Point nearby. Walk to the edge outside the hut, and use Force Lift (RB + Y) to lift a platform. Climb up to the top, and jump over to the Meditation Point.

If you do not have access to Force Lift yet, you will need to keep progressing the main story until Cal learns it. Depending on exactly where you are in the story, this will take another one or two hours. If you have this ability then once you’re at the Meditation Point, look back at the hut, and the platform you just climbed up, which will have now have fallen back down.

Use Force Lift to raise this platform once more, and use it to reach the ledge on the other side. This is where you’ll find the datapad, barely 20 meters away from Zygg. Have BD-1 scan it, and head back to Zygg. This will complete the quest.

Elsewhere in gaming, Phil Spencer, the head of Xbox at Microsoft, has claimed “there is no world” where Bethesda‘s upcoming sci-fi game Starfield is “an 11 out of 10” that leaves fans selling their PS5s to play the Xbox and PC exclusive.
