Conan Exiles is a survival video game developed and published by Funcom for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The game is set in the world of Conan the Barbarian, with the custom playable character being rescued by Conan, beginning their journey. Early access versions of the game were released in early 2017, leaving early access on May 8, 2018.[1]
Gameplay[edit]
The most basic premise of Conan Exiles is survival in the fictional prehistoric Hyborian Age.[2]Player characters begin convicted of various crimes, sentenced to death, and are crucified under the scorching desert sun. The player character is rescued by Conan and as an exile must navigate the Exiled Lands, a harsh desert landscape. A later update added a biome called the Frozen North, which added elements to build, armors and a land to explore. It also added Star metal which is used to build strong armor, and better tools and weapons. An additional biome, The Highlands, was added in 2017. A high-level Volcano area followed in Q2 2018 in the northern-most region of the game map. This newest addition added Obsidian, used to create powerful tools and weapons rivaling their Star Metal counterparts. According to Funcomcommunity manager, Jens Erik, the finished game is around 53 km2.[3] Yugioh season 0 episode 1 download.
Character creation[edit]
Conan Exiles features a fair number of customization options such as gender, voice, and several physical attribute sliders for both head and body. Many races may be chosen from including, Cimmerian, Stygian, Hyborian, Nordheimer, and more. More controversially, sliders for both breast and penis size are also available,[4] the latter being censored in North America by the ESRB.
Religion plays an important role in Conan Exiles. Players may initially swear allegiance to one of six pantheon gods, Set, Yog, Mitra, Ymir, Derketo, or Crom. All of the religions can later be learned from NPCs in-game, with the exception of Crom, as choosing this is the equivalent of choosing none at all, and is not represented by any in-game benefit. An additional deity, Jhebbal Sag, may be acquired only by speaking with a non-player character (NPC) and completing a certain dungeon. The player may then use any combination of their benefits at any given time, which mainly consists of special crafting recipes. Upon gathering enough offerings specific to each deity, their avatar may also be summoned by the player as a pinnacle form of offense, most commonly against other player bases.
Mechanics[edit]
Utilizing natural resources, the player must manage hunger and thirst gauges[5] in addition to warding off hostile enemies, including other players if participating on a PvP server. NPC enemies include savannah and delta fauna such as crocodiles, hyenas, rhinoceroses, and more. Fictional creatures such as dragons, dinosaur-like 'shalebacks', and various undead also populate The Exiled Lands. A number of aggressive human NPCs exist in small encampments, villages, and the small city. These human NPCs may be captured using Conan Exiles'sthrall system.[6] Depending on their profession and rank, captured thralls can provide a number of benefits to the player including faster crafting speeds, reduced material costs, exclusive crafting recipes, and melee or ranged defense. As of a 2018 update, pets were added to the game, allowing animals to be captured in the wild in the form of baby animals or eggs, and raised as travel companions or player home defense. A mount system was planned for the game, but was not included in the game's release due to console performance limitations. Hitman blood money mission 5. As of December 5, 2019, the mount system has been implemented in an update, which includes both travel and mounted combat. [7]
Progression[edit]
Experience points are earned through successful combat, gathering, and crafting, as well as small amounts simply with the passing of time. Though lacking a formal class system, each level-up allows a degree of customization through the selection of attribute points and crafting recipes.
Backstory[edit]
The history of the Exiled Lands is revealed to the player by Warmaker Klael, one of the Giantkings, the ancient rulers of the Exiled Lands. Klael reveals that the humans once came to the giantkings as refugees, and the giantkings offered the humans the frozen wastelands of the North to settle. The humans built a city among the trees and practiced weird sciences and worshiped demon gods. There was peace and trade for a thousand years between the humans and giantkings. However, due to human greed, war eventually broke out. When the war began, the giantkings created the bracelet, adorned by all players to bend the will of the human prisoners of war, allow them to understand the language of giantkings, and to prevent the humans from escaping. They came to rely on human prisoners to fight and labor for the giantkings. The warmaker is now unsure of the bracelets new purpose. Near the end of the war, humans revealed a new weapon, forged of science, smashing through troops and encasing the survivors in stone. In desperation, the giantkings created the ritual that summoned the Sandstorm, which scorched and destroyed everything in its path. This is why most of the exiled lands are now a desert like waste. Now all the giantkings are dead, except Warmaker Klael. After thousands of years, Conan comes to speak with the Warmaker and goes to search for the Serpent Ring of Set.

External links[edit]
The road to escaping the cursed valley is a long one in Conan: Exiles. At the start of the game, your character is dumped, naked, into an unforgiving desert. You'll have to fight to survive, but survival isn't enough — if you want to truly escape, you'll have to remove that weird bracelet thing from your arm. Doing that is the main objective of Conan: Exiles, and it's going to take a very, very long time to remove it.
There's an incredibly long quest to complete the main story of the game, and you'll need to beef up your character with plenty of powerful weapons and armors before you can tackle all of these challenges. I'm not going to explain every step of your survival, just the basic steps you need to take to complete the game and get the ending cutscene.

How To Remove The Bracelet & Beat The Game | Ending GuideTo get the ending, you'll essentially need to collect unique items from the various bosses in the map. There are many, many bosses you'll need to defeat. Be prepared before attempting to defeat them.
[NOTE: Need help finding these locations? Check out a full-sized map with marked locations here.]
Step #1: Get The Scourgestone
There are three pieces of the Scourgestone you'll need to collect before you can begin getting the items required for the Keystone — the primary item we need to complete the game. Each piece is held by one of the first three boss encounters.
- Defeat the Crocodile:
- The Crocodile boss is located in a Brimstone Cave, near the shores of the southern river. Slay it and skin it to get the Jagged ScourgestonePiece.
- Defeat the Pirate King:
- Find the Pirate King at the shipwreck camp on the northeast shore. Fight through the pirates to reach him at the end — he has a special name. He will drop the Shattered Scourgestone Piece.
- Defeat the Spider Queen:
- Enter the dungeon at the northernmost edge of the swamp area. She's located in the center of the swarm of spiders. Skin the body to get the Broken Scourgestone Piece.
Once you have all three Scourgestone Pieces, travel to the Sandswept Ruins and talk to Petruso the Sandswept Maniac. Trade the pieces to him to get the Heart of the Sands (Scourgestone).
Coming soon 2020. Imazing 2 0 5. Step #2: Get The Keystone
Now that we have the Scourgestone, we can begin the second phase of the main quest — collecting all the parts required to construct the Keystone. Visit the Altar of Chaosmouth, where the desert meets the forest, and you'll see all the ingredients required to make the Keystone.
- Defeat the Witch Queen:
- The Witch Queen is located in the Celestial Plaza dungeon on the southeast shore of the map. Destroy the giant stone guardians and defeat her to collect the Mask of the Witch Queen.
- Defeat the Barrow King:
- Travel to the western-most barrow on the map. Collect Demon Blood and use it to unlock the entrance door. Inside, defeat the Barrow King to collect the Diadem of the Giant Kings.
- Defeat the Undead Dragon:
- The giant dragon monster is located in The Sinkhole, in the center of the desert. Carefully drop down, and be prepared for a long fight. The Undead Dragon has the most health of any boss. Defeat it to get the Star of the Champion.
- Defeat the Kingscourge:
- Find the Black Keep, the Kingscourge's dungeon, in the snowy northern section of the map, across a giant bridge leading toward the volcano in the far distance. You can enter through the front, or use a secret entrance underwater. Skin him after bringing him down to get the Tear of Two Races.
- Defeat the Snake Priest:
- Your final opponent is the Snake Priest in the volcano. Go to the Well of Skelos and drop into the portal to find the boss. Skin him to get the Shining Trapezohedron.
Now we have everything required to create the Keystone and escape the Valley of Exiles.
Step #3: Remove The Bracelet
For the final step, take the five items (Mask of the Witch Queen, Diadem of the Giant Kings, Star of the Champion, Tear of Two Races, and Shining Trapezohedron) to the Altar of Chaosmouth.
The Altar is located on a strange structure between where the desert meets the forest area, on the huge wall. Follow the aqueduct to find it. After fully exploring the map, you shouldn't have a problem returning to this area.

Use the altar to instantly create the Keystone. At this point, the game will ask you a question.
