As you roam the dark crypts and monster-filled plains of Baldur's Gate 3 you'll want to keep your party's HP filled, as well as any spell slots for applicable party members. A great way to do so is by using rests. There are two kinds of rests available: short rests and long rests. Each has its benefits, which we'll explain below.

The opening of Baldur's Gate 3 takes place aboard a tentacled ship called the Nautiloid. You'll need to fight your way to the control room to initiate a warp, before the ship crashes into the fiery hellscape below. While exploring the gooey interior of the Nautiloid you'll come across a number of characters that have been captured by the Mind-Flayers, including a woman trapped inside…

With the expansion to Monster Hunter World finally being released on PC, there's no better time to jump into the vast world of Monster Hunter World than right now! Even if you're delving into the main game without looking at the new expansion - Iceborne - there is plenty to do in this complicated game.

We now know when Monster Hunter World: Iceborne will be coming to PC and I'll be honest, it's a little earlier than I was expecting it to be. A post-holiday treat if you will, to tie us over until more big releases grace our screens. Here's everything you need to know about Monster Hunter World: Iceborne on PC.

For some, Playerunknown's Battlegrounds's Erangel is still the best map in the game. Maybe it's because it's the one they're most used to, or perhaps Miramar is too big, Sanhok is too small, and Vikendi is too snowy. If you're diving into PUBG for the first time, then this is probably the best map to start out in. Erangel's Russian inspired island is full of…

We go from one dragon-like monster to another one in our Monster Hunter: World guides, as our hero's journey back to the Rotten Vale is impeded by a roaming Legiana getting in the way of your flight path. This chilly customer is a master of all things ice, able to reduce your stamina recovery and leave you vulnerable to its fast swoops. As easily the hardest monster…

A lot of the larger monsters in Monster Hunter: World are required to have been hunted to complete the main story, but there's a few that are optional fights. One of these just so happens to be a Rathian, which can be a nuisance to early-game hunts in the Ancient Forest or Wildspire Waste, but is worth going after to prepare for a later fight, as well…

Your first venture into Monster Hunter: World's Rotten Vale is fraught with danger. No sooner than you arrive that you find not one, but two large monsters. The one you'll be fighting though is the more intimidating of the two. Radobaan is a hulking pile of bones that can roll around with careless abandon for your safety. That said, it's only got a couple of tricks…

Very few monsters in Monster Hunter: World could ever be described as "cute". In fact, I wouldn't even describe the bloated puffball known as Paolumu as such. It's a deceptively challenging fight too as this is a flying creature capable of some rather hard-hitting attacks if you're not careful. This guide will go over what how to kill it, what its weakness is, and what to watch…

Upon arriving in the third main location of Monster Hunter: World, you'll likely be dazzled at just how different it is compared to the forests and deserts that came before it. This is all before you encounter the Tzitzi-Ya-Ku, the first larger monster you'll see along the way to building a new camp. Well, larger may be over exaggerating a bit as it's by far the…

Upon defeating a massive T-Rex in Monster Hunter: World, the hunters are finally ready to try and capture the main big Elder Dragon - Zorah Magdaros. A plan was put into place where the hunters will initially try to stun it by using cannons and ballistae, before ensnaring it. Unlike the other encounters you have had so far, this is more of an elaborate boss…

There comes a point in Monster Hunter: World where you'll start to want to bring in other players to defeat monsters as a group, rather than try to kill them on your own. For some, this point will be the Anjanath - a T-Rex with a big snout. While it is entirely possible to defeat this dinosaur without friends, the first time may be a bit…

Monsters in the beginning of Monster Hunter: World tend to be rather slow moving, but the Tobi-Kadachi is the first agile monster you'll likely come across. It has some rather shocking attacks that can easily rip unprepared hunters to shreds. It's also the first monster where weapon types and elemental resistances become a deciding factor into what you bring to a hunt. This guide will go over…

All of the large enemies seen thus far in Monster Hunter: World have been land-walking or flying monstrosities. Jyuratodus is your first aquatic monster, though technically it is able to walk on land as well. In fact, it's only one of two that use liquid-terrain as a form of getting around. It is another creature that can use mud to change its weaknesses, so this guide…
