We are now less than one month away from the launch of Starfield, the new space-exploration RPG from Bethesda Game Studios – makers of The Elder Scrolls series as well as Fallout 3 and 4. And after an excellent and very well-received 45-minute Starfield Direct presentation in June, hype is running high. This is the first game from this team, led by decorated game director Todd Howard, in eight years (Fallout 4). It’s topped the Steam wishlist charts for the past two months. It is, by the developer’s own account, the biggest game it’s ever made (and for what it’s worth, from the hour I got to play it with Howard – first from the beginning and then quickly jumping between a couple of other save files – I saw nothing to doubt the team’s claims). And as the Xbox’s first-party/exclusive game journey continues to carve out its strange and unforeseen path, it’s turned out to be the most important launch for the platform in a long time.
Pikmin 4 – How To Rescue The Castaway In Hectic Hollows
23.07.2023 - 14:01 / gameranx.com
Pikmin 4 has you doing a lot of things over the course of its runtime. Maybe you need to conduct research on Pikmin biology or gather treasure to repair your ship. Your primary goal, however, is to find and rescue any Castaways that have found themself in a bit of mischief after crash landing on the planet.
Early on you will discover that not all Castaways are part of your crew and that a bunch of random people have decided to go on a failed adventure. It’s your job to rescue all of these people, although it’s quite a mammoth task. To find Castaways you need to head into Sublevels, and one of the earliest Sublevels you will encounter is Hectic Hollows.

Being one of the earliest examples of a Sublevel in Pikmin 4, it’s very straightforward. It’s also very short with only 2 floors to explore. Sublevels are filled with treasure, enemies and puzzles. Sublevels are far more challenging than your typical surface excursion, however. This is primarily down to the fact you can’t easily replenish your numbers.
Every death in a Sublevel is a serious loss, so above all else, try to avoid casualties when down there.
On the second floor of Hectic Hollows, you will come across a Castaway that is far too high to rescue. There are some platforms you can traverse, but even once you’ve unlocked Yellow Pikmin, the Castaway is too far away to reach. You won’t know this yet, but this Castaway is also a very valuable crew member who is integral to progressing the plot. The sooner you rescue them, the better.
You have two options when it comes to rescuing this Castaway. Firstly, you can leave Hectic Hollows and come back later with Winged Pikmin. This will let you climb those nearby platforms and retrieve him safely.
If you want to save (a lot) of time, then you can also try to dislodge the Castaway and have them fall off the ledge. To do this fully charge Oatchi’s Rush ability, then launch him at the tin can holding the Castaway. This will cause them to fall, letting you rescue them. Easy.
The Castaway in question is Petunia, and she is all about mysterious creatures. She has a string of Side Quests relating to your Onions, each one rewarding you with a hefty amount of Raw Material. Perfect for buying new Gear and building constructs in the world.
That’s all we have on Pikmin 4 for now. Be sure to check out our other Guides and Lists for more Pikmin content.
How will the Euclid Mission solve the mysteries of dark matter, dark energy in the Universe? ESA explains
Do you know about dark matter? According to ESA, in the vast space between galaxies and stars, the seemingly empty space is filled with mysterious matter that we cannot see. This matter has a strong pull, which bends the light coming from stars as it travels to Earth. To understand this phenomenon you can imagine a prism that bends the light through refraction. This bending effect is called gravitational lensing. Scientists have watched this for a long time and realized that there is some mysterious matter and force that cannot be explained by regular things we can see, like cold hydrogen atoms. So, they gave this missing matter a name: "dark matter." It's called "dark" because it seems to only interact with light and normal matter through gravity and it cannot be seen or detected through normal sensors. Scientists have tried really careful experiments, but they haven't found any other ways that dark matter behaves. Even though they've studied it for a long time, we still don't know what dark matter is made of. It's like a puzzle that scientists are trying to solve.
