The story of the land is that it was created by the Auroral from the memories of another world – our world, planet Earth. It allowed us to take inspiration from lots of different areas on the planet to create new and unique zones that do not normally exist.
Today, we’ll be wrapping up this series by talking about Serene Deluge – let’s dive in!
The first thing you’ll notice about this truly unique biome is its distinct shapes. The pillar-like cliffs of Serene Deluge were based on the very-real Zhangjiajie Mountains in China. We’ve scattered rifts throughout the terrain to give you every opportunity to soar and explore every inch of this vertical landscape.
Like every other biome, we’ve fused a different timeless building style into the world. In Serene Deluge, the inspiration comes from the Khmer architecture of Cambodia, giving you a variety of rock-cut temples to explore.
This biome boasts three main Enclaves. Vaulted Heights introduced a new logic grid rule – Viewpoint Arrows*. The whole Enclave is based on the theme of seeing things from all angles, and includes Hidden Rings, Skydrops, and Hidden Relics.
*unless you already found them in the bonus Enclave in Autumn Falls ????)
Limber Cascades introduces a whole new puzzle type – Shifting Mosaics. With this sliding tile puzzle, getting from Point A to Point B may not be as easy as it first appears.
And Leaves in the Wind, will give you the chance to really test your wings with Glide Ring challenges, as well as some of the most clever Pattern Match puzzles the game has to offer.
Explore even further to find more challenging Enclaves, testing what you’ve learned about Viewpoint Arrows and Shifting Mosaics.
