10 Best Video Games With Female Protagonists
Over the years, we’ve seen several fantastic female protagonists leading a video game story. And here are some of the best ones we’ve seen so far.
Of course, extra health goes a long way, especially inaction-adventuretitles, so if you don’t want to waste any time looking for these Health Filaments by yourself.Here, I will be listing the exact locations of all Health Filament collectibles in South of Midnight.
Health Filament Locations
There are a total of nine Health Filamentsthat you can find in chapters 3-7 and chapters 9-12. Each of the listedchapterscontains one Health Filament, meaning you get three health upgrades in total.
Collecting all Health Filaments will also result in unlocking the “Fit as a Fiddle"achievement.
Do not worry if you missed one in one of the previous chapters, as South of Midnight does give you the option to replay chapters at your convenience.
The Health Filament in chapter 3 is part of the story and is located along the main path.
Upon reaching the church near the end of the chapter, walk to the back of it until you come across the ledge which you’re able to grapple on with one of your abilities.
Use your grapple ability to reach the small island in the middle of the lake. From there,do someplatformingand reach the second island by jumping onto the rubble, and you will spot the Health Filament just a few feet away.
Once you reach the tree on the second island, simply grapple your way to the Health Filament, and then be on your merry way to ring the church bell.
Progress along the chapter until you reach thesecond memory flashback of Two-Toed Tom. From there, face the house as you see in the image above, and go right.
You will see telephone poles that you can grapple onto. Grapple your way across the lake, andyou will spot the Health Filament on top of the water tank.
Reaching the water tank should be a piece of cake for you. Simply summon the spectral platforms using your Weaver ability and make your way across.
You can find the filament fairly early in the chapter.As you make your way to Bonnie’s house, stop by at the crossroads in the woods, as shown above. You will see Old Smokey’s Barn on your left.
8 Best Video Games Set In South America
South America makes a great setting for these standout video games.
Here’s a step-by-step:
The Health Filament in this chapter is very easy to find.Simply progress through the chapter until you reach the encounter with the Haintswhere you fight the Brute enemy type for the first time.
After defeating the group of Haints, you will notice an obscure path leading to a small cave just beside the fight area.
Follow the path, and you willspot the Health Filament behind the vinesthat you can destroy with your Strand Push ability.
The absence of a Health Filament is very much felt in Chapter 8. Once you reach Chapter 9, don’t bother looking for it in the abandoned town where Itchy is. I have already wasted thirty minutes doing that.
Instead, you first have to clear all four stigma knots in the area. After learning about Itchy’s past, keep progressing along the chapter until you reach the main knot blocking the entrance to Huggin' Molly’s house.
Follow the path going left of the manor, and you will spot some ledges that you can grab onto. As you shimmy your way across, you will spot the Health Filament collectible. Collect it and start getting ready for a tough fight.
Chapter 10
The chapter starts off with you losing most of your special abilities, so you will need to regain them all first.
After obtaining the last splinder ability (the Weaver),summon the bridge and use it to reach the next island. From there, just look to your left, and you will spot the Health Filament.
Don’t make my mistake; throw a rock at the mushroom first with your Pull ability before grappling your way across.
Chapter 11
You need to progress through the chapter until you reach the section where Altamaha-ha starts throwing rocks at you for the first time. You will encounter the second stigma knot right after.
After unraveling the knot, don’t move on to the next area immediately; instead,explore the current area until you find a path leading to a path on the trees.
Follow along the path on the tree branches until the end, and you will spot what you are looking for. From here, just summon the tree branches and do some platforming to reach your reward.
Chapter 12
To collect the final Health Filament, you will need to progress through the chapter until you reach the area shown in the image above. It is located right after the Roux billboard where you perform the wall run.
From here, look to your right, and you will easily spot the collectible you are looking for. However, you need to do some platforming to reach it.
Summon the spectral platforms located at the edge of the ground beside the Health Filament location and use the wind tunnel to reach your reward.
And with that, you are now ready to face the King of Nightmares — Kooshma, which (at least for me) was a rathereasy boss fight— and save your mother once and for all.
