How to Explore the Glass Wastes and Defeat Aithrê

Navigating the Glass Wastes

The Glass Wastes is a harsh dimension where normal desert terrain is converted entirely into shiny glass. As you glide across the terrain on your hoverboard, keep an eye out for five unique structures scattered throughout the biome. These structures contain valuable loot and materials needed for progression.

While exploring, you will encounter aggressive, glass-themed monsters:

  • Shardling: Smaller hostile creatures roaming the glassy plains.
  • Shatter Sentinel: Tougher glass sentries that guard structures and open areas.

Engage them using the mod's guns and ammunition to eliminate threats before they can damage your board's shields.

Battling Aithrê

The ruler of the Glass Wastes is Aithrê, a giant boss constructed of glass who wields a sword that fires long-range lasers.

  • Maintain high mobility using your hoverboard to stay out of the direct path of his laser beams.
  • Use ranged guns and different ammo types to deal steady damage from outside his sword strike distance.
  • Once defeated, Aithrê drops a specialized boss Core. Take this Core back through a Return Rift to craft higher-tier hoverboards with the Riftwright.
