How do I find the boss Rollo?

  • In the Corsair camps in the Plains, you will find a special Vegvisir that will reveal the location of the boss's island on your map.

How do I summon the boss Rollo?

  • You need 10 "Bronze Padlocks". When you arrive at the boss island, find a large soup cauldron. Throw the 10 padlocks into the soup to anger Rollo and start the battle.

Where do I find the Bronze Padlocks?

  • "Bronze Padlocks" are dropped exclusively by Corsairs found in the Plains camps. You can also find them in the chests within these camps.

How do the freed slaves work?

  • After being freed from the cages, they become your followers and will attack nearby enemies. Remember to feed them Cooked Meat, they will eat any cooked vanilla meat.

How to free the slaves?

  • You need to use the pickaxe on the cage that imprisons the slave. Each biome and its respective cage requires different pickaxes.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
