Stuck in Campaign mode. How to get to Piltover?

Reiizm·1/27/2018, 3:47:04 AM·58 votes·3,627 views

Playing the new Campaign demo in PBE and I'm stuck. I just left Demacia and went to the grassy area. Quest marker says to head for Piltover but I think I accidentally went toward Noxus and got oneshotted by a bandit. I rez'd in a scary looking village and I can't go anywhere because I'm underlevelled and there are bandits mobs everywhere. Help!

EDIT: Also, where can I get AP items? I started the game as Lux and Demacia only sells Doran's blades.

I see your problem. DO NOT GO TO THE GRASSY AREA. It's a trap; the bandits, magical creatures (especially those f*cking Gromps), and Rakkorian warriors will tear you apart before you even make it halfway across, unless you're like level 50 or higher. Though that's the shortest route to Piltover, for level pre-50, you're going to want to head north towards the Freljord. Yeah, it'll take about double the time and you'll run into some pretty nasty things, but I found it's a helluva lot easier than the grass plains. Plus, you'll get a lot of opportunity for exp, gold, and, yes, those AP items. The quests "Awakening the Colossus" and "A Troll's Gamble" have some really good rewards; I already have access to item 3285 and item 3116 just from them (too bad I'm Khazix, though I guess I could try some off-build). Plus, they're fun as hell!

Of course, I did start from the Void and took the mission "Infiltrating the Past", so I began the Demacia part a little to the north already. Plus, playing as a Voidborn already gives me the AP-affinity stat, boosting my AP gain rates by, I think, about 15% currently.

But to fix your current predicament, I think the town you're in is Glorft. Demacian prey tend to be taken there after being captured by bandits. In Glorft, there's a couple of Void cultists lurking around - they tend to move around the southeast areas. Get a item 3401 to see the Void traces (item 3513 or item 3001 are preferable, but if you're low level Remnant of the Equinox is cheap as hell and will suffice). Do whatever missions they have for you and submit a piece of your essence to the Void. That should give you a pretty significant exp- and AP gain rates-boost to get out of there. Hope that helps. Oh, and be sure to put my username when they ask who led you to them. I need the stat-boost to get that item 3147. ;)

The quest marker is bugged at the moment. You have to go past the grassy area and head south. As for AP items, there should be a merchant who sells Hextech Revolvers. They're a good starting item for AP until you get to Frejlord.

Hey! So posts like these from now on should either go to General Discussion or Memes & Games.

However, since this post has gained a lot of traction and I secretly love shitposts like this I'll keep it unlocked. Just don't do it again!

Also there's a speedrunning strat where you can climb the hitboxes of the sides of a building and hop over roofs. Just get to the top tower, go north in that direction, you should hit Piltover and be save-stated there if you die again.

I can agree with many comments here, however for AP items Shurima may have a few or atleast a start for an item if your crafting level is high enough. When xerath ascended, energy kept escaping him. There are many crystals on the ascension pad that can be turned into really good items such as Stalkers Blade: Runic Ekkos item 1402 . Its a very good item to have at that stage since you just started. If you want instructions to Shurima, your compass should say SW (south west), just follow that and you will come across the desert eventually, however be careful for Rek'Sai as she is a mini boss there.

To get to piltover isnt too hard from there its hard to remember how I got there, but for me, after collecitng the crystals for item 1419 (btw it took me 2 hours to collect all these since the drop rate was so low for the bloodrazor enchant) I headed down to an area that was blue on the map which I assumed was the ocean? (I was playing as Xin Zhao). And if you start off in Demacia and were to die, that village is just a checkpoint with bandits around it, dont worry, they are very oblivious, just sneak around them and get to shurima and then piltover. Your journey should be relatively easy going throughout there! hope this helped!

This was a mind fuck I came in here knowing it was a joke And then after seeing how many people continued the joke I went to the PBE to see how I could have missed something this big.

So how much longer till this get's locked/deleted?

Love the story line, but yeah, Noxus isn't locked off even though it's one of the last places you should go to before you restart your quest with the time portal thing.

WAIT, before you leave Deamcia (god knows how to get back in with those annoying ass guards), go to the Crownguard Manor. As Lux you get access to the Gold point tower, all you need to do is talk to the woman in the library and she'll give you the key. At the top of the tower you'll find a item 1058 alongside some papers from your mother. Love when Riot put in little hints like that, maybe it was Lady Crownguards back in the days. Anyways, getting Needless early really helps to get past the twinheaded wolves on the way to Freljord. Took me a good 30 mins of fighting as Lux with only a item 1027 that I found in a Bandit camp nearby... Like Voidzilla said, "A Troll's Gamble" really helps in regards to getting your hands on item 3285, but you still need gold for the Wisp (unless you can get to the Shadow Isles to farm them which I highly doubt). Since you already have item 1058, all you need is to farm some silverback raptors at the Serpentine River and you'll have Ludens in no time. Such a huge spike on Lux, although I almost prefer collecting the item 3802's early since she's so mana thirsty pre 25.

Those pesky mana problems are a nightmare when u start in Demacia... Currently playing Taliyah and I love all the early mana crystals you find in the Shuriman dungeons, Volley spam is OP.

too easy man, leave Demacia from the west side gate there's gonna be a grassy field that you pass through and you should be able to get there right after you post this in the right board.

I.. uhm... hmm.... is this the right boards for you? I think you should be over at the league RPG portion.

There's a traveling merchant in the demacia area that sells AP gear, it's expensive though. Alternatively you could try the witch boss, she's pretty strong but Garen is quite effective against it so you could try to get someone to help you. It's drop rate for the item 3090 isn't that great but it's the only way to get it and it has some pretty great stats even for lategame.

Just glitch trhough the demacian wall by spamming e next to the market box and get into the void. With 3 health potions you can survive the constant dmg and get the void staff. With this you can kill every boss with 3 spells until Noxus where they the game turns to a grind to force riots pay to win mechanics
