Lore & Background
Legends among the surface dwellers suggest that the Heart was placed in the monuments specifically to guard against those who would seek to dominate the oceans. It is said that only by surviving the treacherous defenses of the monument and navigating its labyrinthine hallways can one claim this prize. Once retrieved, it does not merely sit idle; it hums with potential energy, waiting for the precise combination of materials needed to awaken the Conduit's true power, turning a simple beacon into a source of underwater breathing and illumination.
Reader's Guide
The Heart of the Sea is not a tool you can hold or use directly; rather, it is the essential catalyst for creating a Conduit. To utilize its power, players must first locate an Ocean Monument and brave the hostile guardians within to find one hidden in a treasure chest. Once secured, the artifact must be placed at the center of a specific frame structure made entirely of Nautilus Shells. This construction requires eight layers of shells arranged in a pyramid shape around the Heart. When completed, the Conduit activates instantly. The activated Conduit grants players within its range the 'Conduit Power' effect. This allows breathing underwater indefinitely, provides night vision to see clearly through murky depths, and increases mining speed while attacking aquatic mobs. It is the ultimate tool for deep-sea exploration.
