Adventure World Radio Tower Expedition: Everything you need to know

Continuing in Adventure World's "Plane Crash" sub-story is another new Expedition that's now available in the game: Radio Tower. This Expedition sees a character named Ken giving you a tip that an old Radio Tower might be a good place to "scavenge some cargo." You'll be out to repair the Radio Tower, so that hopefully it can be used to prevent further plane crashes in the jungle in the future. You'll need 700 Supplies to access this Expedition, along with two each of Food, Fuel and Water. You'll have five days to finish this Expedition once you begin, so let's get started.

Gorilla Radio

    Collect 6 Girders
    Ask friends for 12 Vacuum Tubes
    Repair the Radio Tower

All things considered, this map is a fairly small one, but there are ground-pounding Monkeys and Rams to worry about here. There's also a set of traps and plenty of debris blocking your path towards the Radio Tower in the center of the map, or to finding the Girders, which are scattered around the map. As for the Vacuum Tubes, you'll need to ask your friends to send them to you via individual requests.

Take the Tower Back

    Place Relay Echo Foxtrot
    Place Relay Kilo Bravo
    Place Relay Oscar Zulu


This second goal is activated once you reach the center of the island and approach the actual Radio Tower. You're out to amplify it's power, so you'll need to go to three ends of the map (north, west and south) to place Relay Towers at the end of the rocky cliffs. There are Rams, traps and debris all along the way, so make sure you have plenty of energy before going in.

Rams on Parade

    Place 3 Ram Baits
    Defeat 3 Rams


Since Rams here have 12 hit points, you can easily spend three or four energy (or more) in simply defeating a single one. Ram Bait can be crafted inside Zoey's Tent back in Base Camp, so if you've yet to complete its construction, check out our guide to doing so.

Once you finish this straightforward Expedition, you'll apparently have secured a better means of communication between incoming aircraft and your Base Camp, so hopefully this will be the last plane crash we see in the game.

Do you think this Radio Tower expedition will be challenging? Did you already complete the three other Expeditions in the Plane Crash storyline?

Adventure World Ram Runner Expedition: Everything you need to know

After tackling the perils of the Mountains to retrieve the Bird Idol in Adventure World, you might be ready to take on even more Rams in the next Expedition: Ram Runner. This one requires quite a few Supplies to get started, along with other tools, and it comes with the shortest time limit we've seen on an Expedition yet: just four hours. As for the requirements, you need to have 700 Supplies, and two each of Food, Fuel and Water before you can begin. As usual, we're here to give you a complete guide on what you need to do to finish this Expedition, so read on for more!

Claim the Ram Stein!

    * Get the Ram Stein


For this particular Expedition, your goal will be to make it from one end of the linear trail to the other, while defeating Rams in the process. From the starting gate, you're met with two sets of traps, allowing two sets of Rams (with eight hit points each) to come after you when disarmed. You'll have to set the Rams free, however, as the traps block your path to continue. The truly unfortunate thing about this is that if you don't have a very highly upgraded Whip, you'll likely spend most if not all of your energy in just defeating the four of them. Luckily, you can bring five neighbors into this Expedition with you, giving you three bonus energy each (once they accept your request for help, that is), so you should be able to continue slightly onward after fighting these Rams with their help. The Stein itself is located on the last "island," as seen below.

Collect Ruby Vases

    * Get 2 Ruby Vases


As usual, these Ruby Vases are scattered along the path, with most being blocked by some sort of obstacle, whether that be a rock, bush, thorn or otherwise. You only need to collect two, and you can find two on one of the central islands, as seen below (note: the empty square is the location of a Ruby Vase - I had just already picked it up).

Collect Jade Vases

    * Get 5 Jade Vases


These Jade Vases are far more common on the map, as you'll simply need to collect more of them. You'll find them behind bushes, near Rams or by other obstacles. It should be pointed out that there are more than five Jade Vases on the map for you to collect, giving you the chance to use some strategy in your choices. If you see a Ram directly nearby a Vase, or tons of obstacles standing between you and a Vase, it might be better to skip it and save your energy points for Vases later in the Expedition.

All told, this isn't an incredibly difficult Expedition in terms of the quests you're required to beat; instead, it's simply one of the most energy intensive tasks we've seen to date due to all of the Rams (and their eight hit points each) standing in your way. You can avoid some Rams altogether, if you plan your moves ahead of time, and your friends can come in and help you out with their free three energy. Still, you'll need to be vigilant if you want to finish this Expedition in the short four-hour time limit you've been given, so make sure you're fully prepared (with a full energy bar) before you ever begin!

What do you think of the Ram Runner Expedition? Is it one of the most difficult Expeditions you've encountered so far, or are your tools upgraded enough to make this one simple? Sound off in the comments.
