How To Get Brimstone In Conan Exiles

So, you're on a quest for brimstone in Conan Exiles? Think of it as a scavenger hunt, but with more sand and considerably less festive music.

Head South, Young Exile!

Your first clue? The desert. Not just any desert, mind you, but the swirling, sun-baked lands towards the south of the map. Imagine your character dramatically squinting into the distance, searching for something that screams "sulfurous doom!"

Specifically, you're looking for bodies of water tinged with a distinctly unpleasant hue. Think swamp water that's had a bad day. These aren't your average swimming holes.

The Brimstone Oasis: A Romantic Getaway (Not Really)

Among the best places to find brimstone are bodies of water such as the Brimstone Lake or the waters around the Gallaman's Tomb. Remember, this isn't Club Med.

Don't expect to sip cocktails by the pool. Instead, prepare to wade through knee-deep muck and contend with the local wildlife, which tends to be a bit… cranky.

Get Your Hands Dirty (and Stinky)

Now for the fun part: scooping up the brimstone! Just walk right in, and look for the interact prompt. It's a bit like picking up seashells, only these seashells smell vaguely of rotten eggs and power.

Remember, brimstone hurts! Equip a gas mask or hold your breath as long as you can. Otherwise, you'll start coughing and taking damage.

Beasties and Baddies: A Charming Aside

Oh, did I mention the wildlife? The South isn't exactly a wildlife sanctuary. You may encounter crocs, rocknoses or other nasties lurking, eager to make your brimstone-gathering experience a bit more… exciting.

Try and take them out before you start gathering. No one wants to get surprised while they're focusing on collecting brimstone.

The Brimstone Diet: Not Recommended

Now, I know what you're thinking: "Can I eat this stuff?" Please, for the love of Mitra, do not eat the brimstone. Conan Exiles is all about survival, but even your hardy exile has limits.

From Swamp Goo to Smithing Gold

You've got your brimstone. Now, what? This is where the magic happens. This gunk is a crucial ingredient in crafting all sorts of goodies, from powerful weapons to potent explosives.

The brimstone can be used in crafting alchemical base, steel reinforcement, steelfire and more. So, your smelly adventure was actually very worth it.

A Few Parting Tips (and a Chuckle)

Bring a friend! Misery loves company, and having someone watch your back while you're neck-deep in brimstone is always a good idea.

Invest in a decent set of armor. You'll thank me later when that scorpion decides you look like a tasty snack.

Don't forget to laugh! Conan Exiles can be brutal, but there's always a bit of dark humor to be found in the struggle. After all, who else can say they spent their afternoon wading through a swamp full of angry crocodiles in search of smelly rocks?

Happy brimstone hunting, exile! May your journeys be filled with danger, adventure, and just the right amount of sulfur.
