Things to Do First in Anthem
5. Make Sure to Talk To Prospero
Fort Tarsis is full of a wide range of helpful individuals, and while you aren’t required to engage with all of them, there are a couple of people you should be sure to engage with.
One such fellow goes by the name of Prospero. He runs the Forge in Fort Tarsis, and after you help him out with a simple fetch quest, his shop will be unlocked for use and you can purchase various cosmetic pieces from him.
More importantly, this is how you unlock Anthem’s crafting system, which will be critical to your success. The sooner you can get familiar with it, the sooner your javelin will go from a rusting pile of junk to something Tony Stark would be proud of.
6. Complete Challenges to Unlock Blueprints
In order to keep Prospero gainfully employed, you are going to need some blueprints. Blueprints are unlocked by completing various challenges while you play and can be a very rewarding little meta-game to work towards.
While you will certainly unlock blueprints through regular play, some have rather specific requirements. Be sure to regularly check on your available challenges in the menu while you are playing so that you can get the most out of this system.
Keep in mind that some of the more advanced blueprints require using specific weapons, so plan ahead.
