The Fog Islands Extreme
The Fog Islands hide some of the best ruins on the map behind some of the worst odds of leaving.
A fog-drowned region of Hiver ruins crawling with Fogmen. High reward, very high chance of being eaten.
Environment
A perpetually fog-shrouded region of dense terrain, broken ground and overgrown Ancient ruins. Visibility is low, which favours the things that live here.
Threats
Fogmen — feral Hivers — in endless waves, led by the Fog Prince. They eat the downed; a lost character is usually lost for good.
Loot & Resources
Excellent ruins with Ancient tech and engineering research. Mongrel, on the region's edge, is a Tech Hunter haven for selling it.
Best Uses
Ruin diving and Toughness training for prepared squads. Mongrel makes a viable forward base for repeated raids.
“A bite from a slaver patrol is not the end — captivity trains Strength and Toughness.”
