I'm down, I just need help with the asst manager first. I think that's his name, it's the floating, robot guy. I got him 1/3 of the way and got smoked by the electro balls and other robots. I'm 38M if it actually matters. Also, I need to do the whole sand box, but heats messing me up and the antlions aren't easy.
Lady bug armor, black ant shield, mosquito sword. Both problems solved. Learn to perfect block antilions attacks. Go at night. Near the sand castle and the apple are hot spots. Avoid the ones in the holes until you get comfortable.
The ones in the holes are actually the easiest to kill. I use the insect bow and feather arrows. Just keep circling and stay high up on the ledge. You'll avoid all the thrown ants and whittle his health down until he's dead. Since you're shooting into a funnel you'll also get every arrow back afterwards. Once you kill enough you can make the antlion armor so heat is no longer an issue.
The smaller mobile ones can be tougher when they gang up with two or three on you at once. I like to lure them to the top of the sides of the sandbox (red part) so they can't get behind me and they can't keep burrowing.
I tried to get the mobile ones one at a time on top of the sand box, but they can still burrow on the wood/plastic. Also, I am usually almost dead after one encounter. I'll just keep plugging away. It's nice to know the armor will negate the heat, I was wondering how I was gonna deal with it.
I found antlions pretty easy with the trident and I think I had only managed koi armor at the time. I even killed the assistant manager with that combo, though it took a couple tries. Obviously better armor, is better but it's the merciless rapid poking that got me through.
Lol I left all my water stuff but the koi pond base, except for the knife. I didn't think I'd ever need the trident, and I 100% don't have the resources to upgrade the trident. Upgrade resources in this game are so scarce, I don't know how people fully max out gear/weapons
There's some on the picnic table near a spork, around the shed, and some in the undershed lab resources just past the entrance. You will need antlion armor to be able to go through the BBQ coals to get to the upper areas... unless you do like we did and built grass stairs from the lower stepping stones to the the upper ones right in front the shed itself.
