Sinking Out Loud

I wanted to make a hideout that would tell a story without me writing it down for you. I don't know if I made it too complicated which might make it very hard to understand.

Zana's tier-3 hideout, Immaculate Hideout.


Thanks for the comments; I really appreciate it! I do read all the comments although I'm not answering them straight away.

Thanks to Chris and the whole GGG team for making this "expansion" happen. It's easily the best one so far and I've had a lot of fun!



Q&A:

Q: What league is this in?
It's in the Beyond league, hardcore challenge league.

Q: What decoration did you use as the wooden floors?
Decoration used here to make those wooden floors is called "Shore Plank Debris" variation 25 and 26 from Haku.

Q: How long did it take you to make this hideout?
Coming up with the idea and executing it I'd say it took me about 30 hours.

Q: What is the green glowing mist called?
It's called "Fetid Smog" which you can buy from lvl 7 Catarina.

Q: Is your hideout maxed out 750/750 decorations?
Yes, sadly.

Q: How much favours did you spend on this hideout?
I'd say approximately 8 million favours.

Q: Who sells those huge whale bones?
Lvl 7 or 8 Haku does.

Q: Did you use any MTX effects in your hideout?
There's no MTX effects in my hideout. Everything you see is available for everyone as long as your masters are high lvl enough.

Q: Is all your masters at lvl 8?
Yes.

Wow this is impressive, very well done. If you can cover up the bottom of the pool with something darker, then I rate 8/8 mate!

This is extremely well done. The upper area gives me warm memories of Kurast, a nostalgia tickle PoE has yet to really touch. All the colors and lighting paint a vivid atmosphere. My only criticism is that the crafting devices aren't intertwined with the hideout as well as they could be. For instance, I put the sharpening wheel over the steering wheel of the ship remains for great affect. I'm not suggesting you do exactly that, but making them part of the environment is just an extra step for the awe factor. Regardless, I am in awe, and I would love a video.

This deserves a HOTW video :)

What did u use to get those wooden floors?

those bones!! beautiful. definitely deserves a vid!!

Now this is something new, fresh, vibrant... Something which I'd like to see in others creations, too. The colors, the atmosphere... It's beautiful.

Man this hideout is super cool. I like the whole like wrecked ship feel at the beginning. But my favorite part is how you made it so you follow the trail to like the treasure room. Awesome awesome job.

WOW! Very intense looking hideout. Very well put together. I guess it's fully packed with 750/750 items? :)

I heard about this hideout and had to search it up. It's super cool and everything what others have said. Love the wrecked ship, that's something new for sure. Very nice details like the blood running down from the top(or back) of the ship to the belly of the Beast, the bone structure of the Beast, blood and the path going down between the bones and many more. Very sexy hideout!

yeah, very cool ho
