The Basics of Flashbacks inForspoken
The Flashback locations inForspokenhave a flag icon on your map, and they’re also known as Monuments of Wisdom (i.e., quite different from the other Monuments you can stumble upon while exploring). Before you head out, we suggest progressing further in the campaign. Each major boss you hunt and eliminate gives you access to new regions, as well as spells (i.e., Zip, Glide, and Float). Moreover,taking out the final bossnets you the Skip ability, which lets you temporarily fly while incorporeal. These powers aid you in exploration and traversal so you can reach far-flung areas.
As for the time trial challenges themselves, there are four kinds that you can experience in Flashback locations inForspoken:
At the end of your Flashback run inForspoken, you’ll receive a score based on your efforts (i.e., number of enemies killed, remaining time, and so on). You’ll receive some extra mana and various crafting materials.
Flashback locations in Junoon
Junoon has severalForspokenFlashback locations. While this is the first region of Athia that you visit, it’s recommended to return here much later in the game (or even after completing the campaign) due to tougher foes.
Flashback locations in Cipal
Cipal only has oneForspokenFlashback locations. However, it requires the completion of the campaign so you can receive the Skip ability. Only then will you be able to levitate and cross the gap.
Flashback locations in Praenost
The desert land of Praenost has several points-of-interest. You can see these spots in the maps below. We’ve made it simple since these areas are fairly easy to reach:
Flashback locations in Avoalet
You’ll find a few more challenges in the Avoalet region. One location of note is The Moulderings, which requires you to Glide across the lake in Samum Coast all the way to the east. That’s the only way you’ll reach The Moulderings zone:
Flashback locations in Visoria
Lastly, you’ll discover severalForspokenFlashback locations in the Visoria region. One place that you might not have visited before is Yonder Cape. You can reach it by taking the southern exit in Visoria Castle’s courtyard. Keep going south until you’re well past the zone. Eventually, you’ll stumble upon a cliffside path. Use Zip here to cross gaps until you arrive in Yonder Cape. The Flashback spot is along the coast.
