People will play as Luka to complete missions in and around Beacon Pines. Luka is a cute young deer. He was deeply saddened by the sudden disappearance of his mother following the sad death of his father. After these events, he was raised by a very loving grandmother whom he did not know. Luka embarks on adventures with his best friend Rolo (the fox).
Finishing the fascinating missions that take place in the game will provide the player with golden amulets. These gold jewelry have unique words engraved on them. People can use various golden amulets to change the course of events and solve new mysteries, filling in the missing words in the book. In this article, we have compiled 10 tips for beginners to the Beacon Pines game. Here is our list:
1) House Full of Charms
Luke’s house is a cozy settlement for the furry creature. People can explore Luke’s home to find many objects that reveal new details about Luke’s life. Players can get at least 3 amulets inside the house.
People can relax in the warm chair in front of the fireplace to get the Ponder talisman. Interact with the closet upstairs to get the charm of hide. Open the dressing table next to Luka’s bed upstairs to collect the chill talisman. You can also get a warm sweater for Luka from inside the dressing table.
2) Tell Gran Before You Set Off with Rolo
Rolo is one of the characters Luke may encounter in Beacon Pines. He is a friend with whom Luke can wander around the city. The first mission of the game requires you to interact with Gran at home.
Gran can be found in the backyard of the house. Talk to Gran and tell her what you plan to do with Rolo to start your next adventure. Players can use Ponder, Chill or Hide Charm during this interaction.
3) Use Chronicle to Change Events
The Chronicle is a handy tool that Luke can use at any time in the game. Players can see specific key moments in the story through the Chronicle. A record of all decisions made in-game is available here.
With the Chronicle, Luka can change the words in the book to reveal new possibilities that can surprise players. Using a talisman in the Chronicle will unlock new Turning Points that form branches in the book. Players who are new to the game can try different amulets available at home to change their interactions with other characters.
4) Connect the Right Feed When Fishing
There are a few fun activities that you can distract Luke as he explores his hometown. Luka has access to a small pond north of the Perennial Harvest building. There’s an empty chair in “Old Pickler’s Pond” left by Luka’s father, waiting to be interacted.
Luke can interact with the empty chair to get past where father and son ate sandwiches and fish until the sun goes down. Open the fishing box next to the chair to attach bait to the fishing line. Players can use the Tickle or Junk talisman to add bait. The Junk talisman will tie a lace, while the Tickle talisman will wear a feather. Use the Tickle talisman to save a rubber duck lost in Luka’s childhood.
5) Collect the Pull Charm from the Satellite Dish
The Pull talisman can be used in various sentences in the book. Luke can head north of “Old Pickler’s Pond” to find Rolo’s treehouse. North of “Old Pickler’s Pond” is a place full of innovative tools that Rolo hopes to find aliens.
Luke can talk to Rolo to get an idea of the scientific experiments he is working on. After talking with Rolo, go to the balcony of the tree house. Luke can interact with the satellite dish to the left of the balcony to collect the Pull talisman.
6) Replay the Parts of the Game After Buying New Amulsifiers
The various quests and events in Beacon Pines have many endings against Luke’s actions. After unlocking new amulets, Luke can try out old activities that happened early in the game. For example, after collecting the Pull talisman from Satellite Dish, Luke can go fishing in “Old Pickler’s Pond”.
Luke can open the fishing tackle box with a pull charm and attach a small magnet to the fishing line as bait. If you want to get the key for the lock, quickly wrap it around the fishing line.
7) Save Rolo from Roxy’s wrath
Players can interact with the Roxy outside the Beacon Beacon building near City Hall. Roxy is Rolo’s brother and protects her. He hears Rolo talking to Luke about him and telling Luke that he may be lurking around.
Carlo tries to avoid being noticed by Roxy when she is caught by her sister. Roxy is angry that Rolo missed breakfast earlier that day. Luke may stop talking to open the book. Use the Chill talisman to get out of this situation and save Rolo from the wrath of Roxy.
8) Be Careful Around the Valentine Warehouse
The Valentine Warehouse is an eerie building that can be found on the right side of Nuncreed’s Drugstore. The Valentine Warehouse is protected by an electric fence. Do not go directly into the fence. People who come to the Valentine Warehouse with Rolo will see Rolo electrocuted by the fence.
Players can collect objects located at the entrance of the Valentine Warehouse and throw them into electric fences to disable the electric field. After going inside the Valentine Warehouse to get the Rumble talisman, talk to Rolo.
9) Strengthen Your Relationships with the Valentine Family
There are very few places in the town of Beacon Pines for fans to visit. The Valentine family has a strong presence in the town. The city was built on the foundations laid by the Valentine family many years ago. Luka can interact with different members of the Valentine family and people associated with them.
Luke can collect a few easy amulets by exploring the places built by the Valentine family. Players can find the Indulgent talisman near the statue of Sharper Valentine near City Hall. People can also find the Cling talisman by talking to the person standing outside the History Museum in Beacon Pines.
10) Live in the Library
Luka can visit numerous places in the city to complete his missions. The library is an important place in Beacon Pines. Luka can find the Library to the left of Nuncreed’s Pharmacy. Luka may have to search for Rolo in the Library as a quest during the game.
Luka can find a variety of books in the Library to help him relax. He can also collect a succulent talisman from one of the shelves in the Library. Luke can talk to Kado on the counter inside the Library to collect the Fight talisman.
