How To Start Atomfall’s Wicked Isle DLC
To startAtomfall’s Wicked Isle DLC, you must travel to the shores ofWyndham Villageand speak withboatman Bill Anderson, an NPC standingat the dockslocated atpoints 32.6E, 83.1Non the map, as pictured above. This location is indicated on theWyndham Village Mapwith a question mark icon titled ‘Midsummer Isle’ as a rumored location marked with these coordinates. Once you arrive at the docks, Bill starts calling out to you.Speak to Billto get him to take you to Midsummer Isle on his boat, kicking off the Wicked Isle DLC.
you’re able to find the entrance to Wyndham Village fromSlatten Dale, the game’s main opening map area, at points 29.0E, 79.4N on the Slatten Dale map. Look for the walled entrance and loudspeaker, then interact with the large green metal doors to enter Wyndham Village.
Bill is the only expert around who can navigate the Lake’s treacherous waters to reach Midsummer Isle. There are a few different dialogue options you can freely choose from when speaking with Bill initially, who says he’ll take you to Midsummer Isle if you’ll help with something when you get there. If you agree to help, he’ll take you to Midsummer Isle, a.k.a. Wicked Isle, right away. It seems it’s not possible to reach Midsummer Isle without the help of the Boatman and without agreeing to help him, as the boat on the dock states ‘Boatman’s Map required’ to use it.
On arriving at Midsummer Isle, speak to Bill again so he can give you theBoatsman’s Mapand fill you in on one of the local landmarks, the ominous-looking Old Abbey. You’ll also trigger the first lead to start your Wicked Isle adventure. However, it’s best to be on your guard as you begin exploring theAbandoned Village, with enemies lurking close by. Once you’ve obtained the Boatman’s Map, you can also click on Bill’s boat to return to Wyndham Village.
