How to Climb Vines in The Forgotten City
To climb vines inThe Forgotten City, players must firstfind the Golden Bow. This item has the ability to turn vines and other items into gold. Once turned into gold, vines can then be approached and climbed like a ladder.
Once the Golden Bow has been found, use the d-pad if playing on consoles to switch between items until it’s equipped. If players also have arrows, they can nowshoot the vines and climb themto access restricted areas, or find additional treasure.
How to Get the Golden Bow in The Forgotten City
The Golden Bow cannot be accessed until players get the ordinary bow from the assassin first. The assassin can be found near the baths beside the marketplace. ensure Fabia hides in the bakery, not the shrine. Then talk to the assassin and inform him that the person he is looking for is in the nearby shrine. The structure will collapse and kill him, meaning players can pick the bow off of his body. It might take a fewtime loops inThe Forgotten Cityto gain access to the dialogue that leads to his death.
After acquiring the bow, talk to Desius at the marketplace and accept his quest to swap it for the Golden Bow. Go to the temple beside Georgius’ shop and swap the bows. To get out, turn the hive above into gold. Players can now use the new bow to climb the vines they find in the upcoming gameplay section, and when they return to theancient Roman hub inThe Forgotten City.
Finding the Golden Bow adds to the time it takesto beatThe Forgotten City, but it is needed to unlock three out of the four main endings.
The Forgotten Cityis out now on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
