Forgotten Frontier

Quickstart

1. Craft a Frontier Wayfinder:

1. Use the Wayfinder to travel to the Forgotten Frontier. Follow the route message: go east to the camp near x 34 and use its Lost Signal Marker, then go west to the observatory near x -45 and use that marker.
2. Find and defeat Lost Echoes to collect three Memory Shards. Return to the observatory and use its Memory Altar; it consumes the shards and summons the Rift Stalker.
3. Prepare for a two-phase fight. After defeating the Stalker, use the Wayfinder to return, or walk through the active Frontier Rift at the arrival gate.

Overview

The Forgotten Frontier is a separate realm with a lost camp, a ruined observatory, and an expedition to recover. Log both signals, gather Memory Shards, and answer the call at the altar to face the Rift Stalker.

What It Adds

How To Use

• Travel: Use the Frontier Wayfinder to switch between the Overworld and the Frontier. The arrival gate in the Frontier is already active; walk into its portal to return to the Overworld.
• Log signals: Use the Lost Signal Markers at the expedition camp and observatory. Markers elsewhere do not log expedition signals.
• Summon the boss: After logging both signals and carrying three Memory Shards, use the Memory Altar at the observatory. The altar consumes the shards.
• Build another rift: Craft Riftstone Frames, build a rectangular frame 4 blocks wide and 5 blocks high, then use one of its frame blocks. A valid frame opens a portal in its center.
• Creative testing: Use the spawn eggs to place Lost Echoes or a Rift Stalker.

Crafting And Obtaining

Player kills of Lost Echoes yield Memory Shards. Defeating the Rift Stalker yields four Frontier Cores and a Rescue Sigil.

Craft the four Riftstone Frames recipe to build a portal:

Echo weapons use Memory Shards:

• Echo Blade:
• Echo Pickaxe:

Echo Ward armor uses Memory Shards and a Frontier Core:

Abilities And Mechanics

• Lost Echoes are hostile and spawn on the ground in darkness. Defeat them to gather the shards needed at the altar.
• The Rift Stalker has 220 health and deals heavy damage. At half health, it summons two Lost Echoes; later in the fight it periodically gains Speed.
• Each expedition signal only needs to be logged once. If a marker says its signal is already logged, continue to the other site.

Progression And Strategy

Log the camp signal first, then head west to the observatory and log the second. Gather at least three Memory Shards before using the altar. Bring strong weapons and armor: the Rift Stalker’s second phase adds two more enemies to the fight. The Echo Ward set and Echo weapons can be crafted from the Frontier’s rewards and Memory Shards.
