How to find Iron in Hytale

As you explore the cubic frontiers of Hytale, you’ll realize all too soon that the Crude tools and weapons that helped kick-start your journey just aren’t gonna cut it forever.

This is where Iron comes in. Iron is one of the most important early-game crafting materials in Hytale, since it allows you to upgrade past the first tier of tools and equipment available to you at the start of the game. It’s the stepping stone to greater things, but you’ll have to delve deeper to find it.

As I’m sure you’ve already guessed, Hytale doesn’t present you with a chance to harvest Iron on the surface. Instead, you’ll have to dive deep into the bowels of the Earth and seek it out there. You’re gonna need a pickaxe, but if you’re looking for Iron to upgrade your weapons, chances are you already have a working Workbench set up. I’d also recommend crafting a few torches; it gets dark pretty fast down there.

Digging straight down from wherever you’re standing is always a valid option, but the world of Orbis is full of deep chasms that can provide you with a natural entrance to the cavernous depths below. One was waiting for me right near my spawn point, but you might need to explore a bit to find one yourself.

Luckily, you probably won’t have to stay down in the depths very long. Iron spawns at about fifty to one hundred blocks below the surface, so you don’t have to dig too deep to find it. Don’t worry about not being able to identify which rocks have Iron Ore in them; the giant chunks of shiny Iron ore jabbing out are a big giveaway.

As exciting as finding Iron is, don’t get carried away. You need to refine your Iron Ore into an Iron Ingot before you can use it to craft new equipment.

To forge Iron Ore into Iron Ingots, you’ll need to use your Workbench to build a Furnace. This is a very simple craft to make. All you need to make it is six Tree Trunks and six chunks of Stone. Once you’ve made a Furnace, stick some wood into the Fuel slot, then put the Iron Ore into one of the Input slots. In a few seconds, you’ll have some fresh Iron Ingots on your hands.

The Hi, Doggy quest not only has a funny name, but it’s a rather interesting task to complete in Quarantine Zone: The Last Check.

The Hi, Doggy is a relatively early game quest that you can unlock on day 10. It’s a core campaign quest, so there’s no way of skipping it (unless you’re playing in the Endless mode). This guide will help you figure out how to feed your zombie.

How to start Hi, Doggy quest in Quarantine Zone: The Last Check

The quest begins at the start of day 10 when the major briefs you about what needs to be done. When you’re in the early game, there’s not much you can do with a zombie in Quarantine. However, this quest will introduce you to the Cage in the Laboratory.

The Cage can contain an undead and allow you to study for research. You’ll find the Cage to the right of the main lab tent (from where you can discover new symptoms). Your next task is to feed the zombie. Head straight from the lab gates, and you’ll end up in front of the locked zombie.

How to feed the zombie in Hi, Doggy quest

This task is pretty simple. Go to the Liquidation zone, where you send the infected to be chopped. You’ll find a marked area by the pile of bags. Pick up a body bag, put it on the card, and go back to the laboratory tent. If you can’t pick up the body, chances are that the cart isn’t close enough. Interact with the cart and bring it closer to the body bags.

Park the cart next to the Cage, and interact with the body bag carrying the corpse. Pick it up, and put it in the Cage, and the zombie will start to eat. This will complete the Hi, Doggy quest. Make sure to put the cart in the highlighted zone so that the corpse can be fed to the zombie trapped inside.
