[APRIL FOOLS' UPDATE] This article was published as part of our April Fools' Day celebration. The Mysterious Device remains as mysterious as ever! We hope you enjoyed the joke and maybe even got Rick Rolled. The hunt for the true purpose continues!
After spending countless hours investigating and experimenting, I've finally figured out what the Mysterious Device actually does in Brighter Shores!
Last night while exploring the game, I had a breakthrough regarding the symbols etched on the device:
The Fishing Spear
The Compass
The Flower/Cabbage
The Crosshair
The Circlet
The Bird/Duck
I always thought these were just random decorations, but turns out there's actually a specific pattern to them that nobody had noticed before!
By bringing the device to certain spots on the map during specific times of the in-game day, I noticed the receptacles on the device started reacting differently. At first I thought I was imagining things, but then the device actually started glowing!
I was initially skeptical too. I've followed all the community discussions debating whether this is unused content or planned for a future update. However, I can confirm this is definitely functional in the current version of the game.
I don't want to spoil everything (and honestly I'm still documenting all the cool stuff I found), but let's just say this device does something pretty awesome when activated correctly.
I've put together a quick guide showing exactly how to make the Mysterious Device work. No theories, just straight-up proof with step-by-step instructions anyone can follow.
I'm excited to share this discovery with the community after months of collective speculation!
