Ascension Island

Ascension Island is an area that is reached by climbing up to the top of Lonely Cave and walking through the gate. It is an area in which flying is again prohibited. It has the basic map layout of Bonfire Island, although it is barren and dry. At first the player sees nothing except for a barren wasteland. Upon looking up, the player will see a series of floating stones. Climbing up the ramp will lead to the first stone, so you may jump onto it. You must climb a series of hundreds of stones until you reach the ‘rings’. They are like the stones, in a sense, except most of the middle are missing. The width you must cross is no larger than the largest lion you may have. There are 21 of these rings you must cross.

Failure


If you make a slight misstep on one of these stones, your creature will plummet towards the earth at a break-neck speed. You will be mostly helpless to do anything but watch as you fail. There are three possible outcomes. The first, which is the most likely, is to simply fall towards the island and have to re-start. The second, less common, is being able to ‘save’ yourself by landing on top of another stone or ring. The third, and the least likely to happen is glitching. A glitch that could happen is while you are falling, your creature will hit a stone or ring, yet go through it. This will result in your creature either getting stuck in the stone, or falling through it.

Climbing Without Failure
It is rare, but some people are able to climb without falling at all. Most players do a ‘set home reset’. Once and awhile while they are climbing, they would set that area as their home. If they were to fall, then they could simply press ‘Go Home’. They would be teleported back to the area they set as their home. As they got higher and higher up, they would continually set their home. This technique is almost vital from the ring section of the Island, as there is a higher chance of failure.
