How to solve Sarentu Totems in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora

Many mysteries await you to uncover in the new region of Pandora your character wakens in in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. Unlike a traditional open-world game, especially a Ubisoft-developed one, this title doesn’t hold your hand nearly as much when solving any of its environmental puzzles. The Sarentu Totems are optional locations you can seek out across the frontier, but finding one is just the beginning. Once you do, you need to find a very specific place to view it from in order to unlock the secrets it holds. With so few clues, you’ll need a bit of guidance to learn the tricks to solve these totems.

How to solve Sarentu Totems

When you encounter a Sarentu Totem, you will find a large, spiral-shaped object usually on a cliffside or overlook of some sort. Your only objective when you approach one is to find the correct spot to stand at and view it from by following “markers.” These markers aren’t going to show up on your HUD or even be highlighted with your special Na’vi vision.

You need to look at the little triangular bit of fabric sticking out of the side of the totem. This is an arrow pointing to another identical arrow somewhere on the ground in that direction. You must follow all these arrows, which may not even be in sight from one to another until you get to the designated spot. You will know you have arrived when you get a button prompt to observe the totem and complete the puzzle.

Once you've done and seen everything there is in the base Fallout 4 game, it's time to venture out beyond the Commonwealth. The Far Harbor DLC was the first to add an entirely new zone to the game, but it doesn't stick it onto the existing map. It doesn't take long to get yourself to the new island once you know the proper steps, but you need to do a few specific things in the game before it will be an option, and the game won't tell you what those requirements are. This is all you need to know about how to start the Far Harbor DLC in Fallout 4.

Each piece of Fallout 4 DLC adds something substantial to the base experience.

Starting it isn't as difficult as starting other DLCs like the Nuka-World expansion, but it-s still a bit cryptic. Buying the DLC doesn't automatically make it apparent how to actually start this new adventure, but we'll give you specific directions to find it in the wasteland.
