The Mycofields

The Mycofields is a Portal World in Anteverse 2B, a harsh volcanic region of craggy rock, caves, cliffs, and ancient paths. It is defined by extreme heat and a landscape dominated by fungal growth, with superheated magma flowing through much of the area. The setting is overcrowded with hostile wildlife adapted to these conditions, and the game frames the region as a brutal environment where competition for resources is intense.

This zone is one of the more hazardous Portal Worlds to explore because of the sustained heat and the number of enemies that can inflict infection. The Fire Proximity Suit is the most direct protection for the area, while other armor that provides enough heat resistance can also work. Players should also bring head protection with an Airtight Seal, since several enemies release infecting spores. The Lab Mask, Mushroom Helmet, or Carapace Helm are all useful for this purpose. Traversal is eased by jump pads found around the map, and the Dangling Gravity Cube or Jetpack can make reaching elevated routes much easier. There are no shortcuts unlocked by completing the area, although an exit portal sits at the very top.

The Mycofields is also a major farming location. Players will want to gather as many Anteverse Gels and Carapace items as possible, since both are needed in large quantities for crafting. Bowl-like plants filled with Antejuice are scattered throughout the region and can be drunk to restore thirst, making them a useful environmental source of hydration.

Hostile creatures found in the Mycofields include Mushroom Peccary, Mushroom Carbuncle, Scuttlebug, Pest, Exor Monk, and Exor. Scuttlebugs are blind and react to sound rather than sight, so a melee approach works well if the player wants to obtain their drops. Since they behave similarly to a breakable object, the Repair Tool also works against them.

• The Mycofields is the second Portal World with placed ammunition; 9mm Ammo can be found on top of the small outpost guarded by an Exor Monk and an Exor.
• A Figurine can be found in the GATE outpost, on the corner of the huge Filing Cabinet and on the floor nearby.
• The area can be unlocked by examining a Thermocell in Dr. Wakemen’s room in Residence Sector.
• It can be found in Canaan and is dropped by Niketas.
