Unmoored World Summary

After 4 days, the destruction of the world will begin. └Sleeping at an inn or a campfire will progress the destruction of the world. └ Destruction can be prevented if you clear the red light in the pinned locations on the map or restart Talos. You will no longer be able to sleep at an inn starting from the 10th day. If you die, you can choose to start from the begining of the morning you woke up in the Unmoored World, or the last time you slept at an inn. Enemies spawned in the Unmoored World will be more powerful. └ Boss-type enemies will drop Ferrystones for easier traveling. Oxcarts are now disabled. New portcrystal locations are unlocked after Halls of the First Dawn. Bay Wayside Shrine inventory is now updated with stronger weapons and armor. The sea has dried up giving you more areas to explore.

In the Unmoored World, overall difficulty is increased. The map will erode over time; this can be prevented by resolving the red beam of light at the targetted settlement. Resting at an inn is highly not recommended as it will hasten the destruction of the Unmoored World. It is recommended to stock up on Wakestones and Allheal Elixirs.

How to Get the Eternal Wakestone

Things to Prepare

Wakestone	・The more wakestones you have, the easier it is to explore since you won't have to worry about starting over if you die.
Allheal Elixirs	・Allheal Elixirs fully restore your health without having to sleep, including the health gauge lost from taking successive hits in battle.
Portcrystals	・Portcrystals are best placed in areas where there are none. A good example of this would either be Bakbattahl, the Volcanic Island Camp, and the Agamen Ruins.
Sufficient Level	・It is highly recommended to be over Level 40 to be able to handle the strong enemies found in the Unmoored World.

How to Speedrun the True Ending

It is possible to reach the end of the Unmoored World by sleeping at an inn or at your house for 10 straight days. The destruction of the world will progress as the days go by. Once you reach the morning of the 10th day you will no longer be able to sleep. Instead you can go directly to the Seafloor Shrine to summon the dragon once more and reach the true ending. This is not recommended because you will not be able to acquire the items from the Dragonforged without the necessary Wrymslife Crystals.

Time Limit Explained

Time works differently in the Unmoored World. Destruction of the world is triggered only by resting at an inn. The passing of time will feel the same, but days are only counted when you sleep. You are only given 10 days of rest or until the complete destruction of the world. Should you decide to resolve the red beams of light in the map as soon as you arrive, you will be able to stay longer.
