Tips and Tricks

Return Home

Some features in Salt can be quite hard to come by. This page is destined for new and experienced players that want to learn and share some tips about things that are not explicitly explained in the game. Feel free to contribute if you know any tips or tricks not listed here!
 * Since the Cursed Queen is considered a boss and can be easily summoned, you can use the Sun Sword or the Sword of Trials to farm Sun Sword Shards and Old Sword Shards. Just remember to keep your weapon equipped during the entire fight!
 * While in mid-air, you gain 30 strength when dealing a blow.
 * Tired of getting items you do not want from caches and special containers? Since the items you acquire are random, you can save (f5) before opening the box in your inventory and if the item does not satisfy you, just quit without saving and retry!
 * To get the "Shoot Da Fruit!" achievement on Steam, you can position yourself straight under a fruit, shoot an arrow to it and rapidly shoot again when the fruit is falling.
 * If you have troubles shooting at birds or just want to go to the top of your boat's masts, you can build a "tower/stairs" made of crates or deck fire pits, since those items stack on top of each other.
 * If you hit a volatile rock found on desert islands with a critical hit, it will explode. Try to unequip any equipment that increases critical hit chance before hitting one of these.
 * To get the "Like a Boss" achievement on Steam, you need to kill each of the following bosses:
 * Spider Queen
 * Jungle Queen
 * The Cursed Queen
 * The four Pirate Kings
 * The four Pirate Captains
 * The Dark Guardian
 * Luthor
 * Grent, Famed Slayer of Luthor
 * Draegan


 * It's possible to get all the rewards of the "Path of the Ancients" quest by summonning Elissar and Varkahn at the same time. You just need to use the White and Black Summoning Stone one after another.
