Starting out in Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen can feel a little overwhelming, but don’t worry! This guide will give you simple tips to help you explore, fight, and craft your way through the world of Terminus.
1. Explore and Pay Attention
Exploring is a huge part of PAntheon. There are secrets, quests, and hidden treasures all over the world.
Look for strange objects, sounds, or landmarks.
Use the Perception System: This is a feature that gives you clues about your surroundings. If you notice something unusual, check it out!
Tip: If you see a symbol or hear hints in the world, it might lead to a hidden story or reward.
2. Choose Your Class Wisely
Pick a class that fits how you want to play. Here are some examples:
Tanks: Protect the group and take enemy hits (e.g., Warrior, Paladin).
Damage Dealers (DPS): Do lots of damage in fights (e.g., Rogue, Wizard, Ranger).
Healers: Heal and support your team (e.g., Cleric, Druid).
Support: Crowd control and buffs to help your group (e.g., Enchanter, Bard).
3. Play With Others
Pantheon is a group-based game, and while you can play solo, working together will make the game easier and [arguably] more fun.
Join a group for dungeons or big fights.
Talk to your team using group chat to plan your strategy.
Tip: Solo play is limited, so focus on teamwork to get further in the game.
4. Start Gathering Early
Gather materials as you explore. These are useful for crafting and trading, so DO NOT miss out on getting stuff ahead of time!
Wood: Found from trees or logs.
Ore: Mined from rocks.
Hides: Collected from animals.
Plants: Gather herbs, mushrooms, and vegetables.
Tip: Don’t skip gathering spots. Resources are important later for crafting or selling to other players.
5. Try Out Crafting
Crafting lets you make useful items like weapons, armor, food, and potions.
Choose two crafting professions:
One for equipment (like Blacksmithing or Woodworking).
One for consumables (like Cooking or Alchemy).
Use your tools to craft items. For example:
Cooking uses a frying pan to mix ingredients like meat and vegetables.
Blacksmithing uses schematics to make swords, shields, or armor.
Tip: Gather materials as you go, and try crafting simple recipes to start.
6. Be Ready for the Environment
Some areas in Pantheon have tough environments like freezing cold zones. Without the right gear or food you might take damage or lose stamina.
Cook special food to help deal with extreme weather.
Find or craft armor that protects you from the environment.
Tip: Always prepare before entering a new area. Food and gear can save your life!
7. Learn Combat Basics
Combat in Pantheon is slower and more methodical/strategic than a lot of other unnamed big MMOs on the market.
Positioning: For classes like Rogues, standing behind enemies helps you do more damage.
Aggro: Tanks (like Warriors) keep enemies focused on them so others stay safe.
Crowd Control: Support classes like Enchanters can “lock down” extra enemies to make fights easier.
Tip: Work as a team. Tanks take the hits, healers keep everyone alive, and DPS deal the damage.
8. Pay Attention to Perception
The Perception System makes exploring more fun. Instead of quest markers, you’ll find hints in the world, like:
A glowing object.
Strange sounds or landmarks.
NPCs saying something interesting.
Tip: Always investigate clues. These moments can lead to hidden quests or stories.
9. Be Careful When You Die
Dying in Pantheon has penalties, like losing experience or items. You can also respawn far away if you’re not careful.
Set your bind point in safe places like towns.
Travel with a group for safety.
Tip: Carry potions or food to help in emergencies.
10. Build Friendships and Trade
The Pantheon world depends on players working together:
Trade with others: Sell or trade items you don’t need for something useful.
Work with crafters: Ask other players to craft special items you can’t make yourself.
Build a reputation: If you’re a good player or crafter, people will come to you for help.
Tip: Be friendly and helpful. Stuff that you craft has your name on it permanently, so you can get a reputation by creating things for other players.
Quick Beginner Tips
Talk to NPCs: NPCs often share hints, tasks, or trade opportunities.
Take Your Time: Explore carefully, and don’t rush into dangerous zones.
Keep Materials: Gather everything you find. You’ll need it for crafting or trading.
Stay in Groups: Team up for dungeons and hard fights.
Learn Your Role: Whether you’re a healer, tank, or crafter, focus on doing your job well.
