Once you've gathered Resonate Stems, you can combine them to have a mysterious chest appear in a random location across the system. The steps to get there, however, can be a bit confusing, and the resource needed isn't exactly unlimited.

Microsoft's recent announcement that it intends to put Call Of Duty games onto Nintendo consoles for the next 10 years came as a surprise to many. After all, the best-selling shooter franchise has not yet appeared on the Nintendo Switch, despite that console holding onto a huge portion of market share for years now.
However, the truth is that despite Nintendo's reputation as a more "kid-friendly" publisher, several COD games have appeared on its consoles in the past. In fact, it's only in...

Newell said Valve, as a company, doesn't believe in requirements from publishing partners, and Microsoft and the Call of...
From the moment I took my first steps onto the frigid mountaintops outside the city of Kyovashad in Diablo IV, it was clear that Blizzard was serious about responding to some of the complaints of Diablo III. While Diablo III contrasted pops of bright colors against the grotesque horrors of the world, Diablo IV is immediately more oppressive and dire in its presentation.
