[b]Welcome alchemists! [/b] If you've seen our [url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1536570/view/6680607622690327661]previous post[/url] you now know how to gather materials, so we're going to show you what comes next in The Last Alchemist! We won't give too much away, you should still encounter surprises and fun puzzles along the way as well as additional tools and activities, but we are going to show you some basics! Say, one day, you're walking around the beautiful mountains and this stubborn pile of rocks is in your way - you will need a formula that will break down this blocker to your path!

For instance, some constructions can help you break down the materials you gather into essences or help you forge new essences and you can use tools like the sprayer to spray these and help you break the rocks. To build new constructions you'll need to gather the right resources and then place a blueprint - once all the ingredients are in place you must wait for the construction to finish and then 🎉 you have a new machine!

However your eyes and hands aren't what they used to be and tools may be too difficult for you to construct now, but have no fear - [url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1536570/view/4175478335207771964]Hapalo[/url] is here to help! The ingenious Agari inventor will use their forge to help you on your journey! [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42847124/d8309e732a8b77c7df9e33f142fcebc794d42008.gif[/img] Bring them the required materials and you'll have a new tool in no time! Now you can go and deal with those rocks and continue down the path! [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42847124/25ececae2144da15772969c7029284f1486a8040.gif[/img] As you progress, the solutions you need may be more challenging to produce and they might force you to venture out further or use new tools, come up with new solutions, but you'll find some additional helping items around the observatory and by working together with the Agari and using your constructions, you'll surely be able to conquer it all as The Last Alchemist!
