Digital Extremes is hosting its 10th TennoCon this weekend to celebrate 12 years of Warframe and the beginnings of its new IP, Soulframe. Ahead of the celebration, we saw a new gameplay demo of Soulframe presented by Digital Extremes CEO Steve Sinclair, Soulframe creative director Geoff Crookes, and senior community manager Sarah Asselin, and spoke with two members of the Soulframe dev team.

Soulframe narrative designer Sydney Hills and lead designer Scott McGregor answered our questions about the game's new skill system; its French-speaking witch, Verminia; the singing bear, Bromius; and more.

Soulframe is a free-to-play, open-world multiplayer RPG with a fantasy setting that sits in contrast to Warframe's sci-fi world. It’s much more rooted in a connection to nature, encouraging exploration of Midrath’s mystical wilderness. Instead of guns and lasers, think bows and magic.

The real test of Shadow Labyrinth lies in getting through the Great Tree, also known as the Sky-High Tree. This is one of the first objectives that involves a substantial amount of traversal. If you're used to playing Metroidvanias, you might know what to expect. There are plenty of paths that lead to secondary rooms, and even optional areas. While they're useful to gather resources, it can be easy to get lost. Moreover, the game's map can be quite obtuse, and you might miss doors and ledges that pertain to the main objective.

If you're finding it difficult to get through the Sky-high Tree areas, don't fret. Below is a step-by-step walkthrough detailing how to get through the Great Tree in Shadow Labyrinth, which culminates in a boss fight that rewards you with a key ability to continue moving forward.

How to get through the Great Tree in Shadow Labyrinth

You'll get access to the Great Tree area after defeating Orange G-HOST: Garbage Talos and obtaining the GAIA form thanks to the G-Phase Shift. Confusing nouns aside, the starting segments of the area are fairly linear. The key here is learning enemy patterns, as you'll encounter quite a few new foes while heading east.

Shadow Labyrinth can be tough, and your HP Tank is an invaluable tool. On paper, it's similar to the Flask of Crimson Tears in Elden Ring, with the big difference being that using it restores the entirety of your health bar. It's great--the problem, however, is that for a long while, you only have access to one HP Tank.

As you traverse through the second main area of the game, which tasks you with reaching the top of the Sky-high Tree, you can come across an additional HP Tank. This, however, can be easily missed if you're rushing through things. If you're wondering how to get a second HP tank in Shadow Labyrinth, make sure to read the steps below promptly so you don't have to waste time backtracking later on.

How to get a second HP Tank in Shadow Labyrinth

The location of the second HP tank in Shadow Labyrinth is in the forest area as you're making your way through the Great Tree (also referred to as Sky-High Tree). We have a dedicated guide with a Great Tree walkthrough in case you need some guidance, as it's easy to get lost.

If you dropped $85 on the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller and would like to keep it looking fresh, you may want to pick up a dedicated travel case. There's actually an officially licensed controller case made by RDS Industries that popped up on Amazon shortly before the Switch 2's launch. Available in a Zelda-themed edition or standard black, the RDS Game Traveler Deluxe Controller Case is up for grabs for $20 at Amazon.

The hardshell carrying case is compatible with both generations of the Switch Pro Controller and Joy-Con with grip attachments. You can also use it with a bunch of different third-party controllers; we highlighted some notable gamepads we've tested with the case at the bottom of this story.

The Zelda branding on this case is subtle enough that Switch users who don't even like the series would probably be fine with it. A round metal emblem with the game's logo is affixed on the center of the top cover. It also has a gold zipper pull with the Tears of the Kingdom logo. The promotional images don't do a great job of displaying the colors. After receiving the case recently, I can confirm that it's forest green, similar to Link's iconic tunic.

The case was designed for the original Switch Pro Controller and Joy-Cons with a grip attached. That said, the recessed bottom mold also fits the Switch 2 Pro Controller just about perfectly, and the Joy-Con 2 Controllers with the standard or Charging Grip attached are supported, too. The elastic band that secures the controller in place opens the door for a wide array of third-party controllers.

The case also has slots for two Joy-Con below the Pro Controller. This slot only supports original Switch Joy-Con, as the Switch 2 Joy-Con are too large.

An open mesh compartment can be used to store small accessories such as charging cables and Joy-Con straps.

If you aren't a Zelda fan, the case is also available in black/gray. This version trades the Zelda emblem and zipper for the red Nintendo Switch logo.

RDS Industries' controller carrying cases are built with the same ballistic nylon material as its popular line of console cases. The manufacturer has already launched five different styles of Switch 2 console travel bags in its Game Traveler Deluxe line, including a Mario Kart World-themed hardshell carrying case:
