How to Start The Isle of Bigsnax DLC
Before players dive intoBugsnaxand attempt to start the new content, they should know that all the quests from Snorpy and Chandlo will need to be completed. For those that have already completed the game and have seen the credits, just press continue on the main menu to get to Snaxburg. From here, find Snorpy and speak to him. He will tellBugsnaxplayers that he needs help with an important task, thus starting the new DLC content.
To go forward with the questline and recruit the Grumpuses, players will need to complete the quests fromFloofty, Triffany, Shelda, and Chandlo.
It’s worth noting that brand-new players will not be able to start the new content at the beginning of the game. Instead of taking place after theend of theBugsnax, it’s more of a side quest that takes place during the main narrative, not affecting the story at all.
As part of the new update forBugsnax, players will finally havetheir own house back in Snaxburg, and it can be customized. By going to the mailbox near their hut, players can take on challenges to earn pieces of furniture and accessories to deck out their living quarters.
The challenges will involvecatching Bugsnax in different ways, adding an interesting twist to the bug-catching gameplay that the game is all about. There are also new trophies and achievements to unlock, so die-hard fans can expect hours of extra playtime with the indie darling.
