Quest Description:
“Securing more space is a top priority to accommodate the growing number of comrades. To house more personnel and expand our forces, the camp must undergo a major expansion.”

To do so, open your map and select the Howling Hill location. You then have the option to “Inspect” the Howling Hill. You will then get a bird’s-eye view of your camp. Select “Missions” and pick the Howling Hill Camp Expansion. You will then see the available Comrades with their skills. Select both companions -> Comrades Dispatched -> 2. Don’t forget to hit the “Dispatch” button.

It all began in the ’80s when I was just 7 years old. Starting with basic arcade games, I soon delved into titles like Loom and Monkey Island by Lucasarts. Throughout the years, as I indulged in more and more games, I consistently sought clear guides to swiftly navigate my gameplay. Now, it’s my turn to contribute back to the community.
