Bugsnax Gameplay Chapter 3 - Sidequests & Getting Beffica back to Snaxburg
0Bugsnax is an adventure video game developed by independent game studio Young Horses. In the game, players explore a mysterious island and attempt to find and capture the eponymous half-bug-half-snack creatures. The game was unveiled in June 2020 during Sony's PlayStation 5 live-streamed reveal event. British indie pop band Kero Kero Bonito performed the game's theme song, which was featured in the announcement trailer. The game was released in November 2020 for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, as well as Microsoft Windows and macOS via the Epic Games Store. Versions of the game for Steam, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S followed in April 2022.
Bugsnax is a first-person adventure game, in which players traverse the mysterious Snaktooth Island to find clues regarding the disappearance of a missing explorer. The core gameplay revolves around finding and capturing different species of Bugsnax, the half-bug-half-snack creatures that inhabit the island. There are 100 Bugsnak species available for capture, each of which can be found in one of eight biomes during different times of the day. The player is equipped with a "SnaxScope" that can be used to scan each Bugsnak, which displays its movement patterns, tastes, and clues as to how to capture it. The player can also obtain several tools to assist in capturing the Bugsnax, including a slingshot that can shoot different sauces such as ketchup and chocolate to lure Bugsnax; a tripwire that can be used to stun Bugsnax; and a Strabby, a strawberry-like Bugsnak in a plastic ball that can be guided using a laser pointer. Some Bugsnax requires more advanced techniques to capture them, such as using multiple tools in combination or baiting one Bugsnak into attacking another.
The town of Snaxburg acts as the game's central hub from which all other areas can be reached. During the story, the player will encounter several Grumpuses, the residents of Snaxburg who have scattered themselves around the island. The player must convince each of the Grumpuses to return to Snaxburg to advance the story. When a Grumpus has returned to Snaxburg, they will begin asking the player for favors, which take the form of side quests, and reveal more of their personal history and motivations as each one is completed. These side quests typically involve the player capturing specific Bugsnax and feeding them to the Grumpuses, which transforms parts of their bodies based on the properties of whatever Bugsnak they eat. A "Snaktivator" device unlocked during the game allows the player to customize each Grumpus's appearance, such as selecting specific body parts to transform.
A free update to the game in April 2022 added a new area to explore and 12 additional Bugsnax to collect for a total of 112. The Bugsnax in this area is larger than normal and must be temporarily shrunken using special "Shrink Spice" before they can be captured. The new area is accessed during the main story as part of a larger side quest. The update also added the ability to fast travel between areas, 25 hats that can be collected and placed on Bugsnax the player has captured, and a hut for the player character in Snaxburg, which can be customized with furniture and decorations received from the other Grumpuses. New hut decorations can be obtained by completing missions sent by the Grumpuses to the player's mailbox, such as finding a lost item or feeding a Grumpus a specific combination of Bugsnax; there are over 100 missions that can be completed.
As much as I heard the news of the newer version of this game and available on Steam after it was released individually in each console and PC, I don't think I'm going to update my game anytime soon since I already got the original and I don't want to download the newer version from the beginning because it feels like downloading same game again from zero but with better quality (I'm not wasting my internet too much on it sadly). Anyway, all these sidequests are easy to solve and as for persuading Beffica to return to Bugsnax...just give her information by snooping on targeted Grumpus's peculiar behavior behind the curtain and give her favorite Bugsnax as last request, and she finally decides to go back to Snaxburg from the cave camping.
Note: Even though I haven't played this game for more than a year, I still remember how the game works so this should be easier than the first time I got this game
