As you make your way through Resident Evil 4‘s Separate Ways DLC, you’ll occasionally come across some blue notes stapled to the wall near merchant locations. These offer you unique merchant requests for the area that can be completed and turned in to earn Spinels for buying useful items. When you find yourself in Gregorio’s Waterway in Chapter 5, you’ll stumble upon one of these merchant requests asking you to track down, eliminate, and then sell the Lord of the Waterway. Here’s where to reel in this big fish.

Where to find the Lord of the Waterway in Chapter 5

After picking up the merchant request, continue through the linear pathway until you come across a wheel you can turn that will lower the water in the area. Return to the merchant’s room, where you’ll find you can now descend a ladder into the remaining knee-deep water.

From where you land, take the left path through the destroyed wall and kill any bugs that get in your way. Take another left directly after and make your way around the pillar in the center of this next segment of the room. When you reach the back wall, you’ll be able to crouch and pass through the tight opening here. Directly after exiting on the other side, you should notice a large fish in the water ahead of you – this is the Lord of the Waterway. Kill it, then loot its corpse.

After looting the Lord of the Waterway, you’ll now need to backtrack to the merchant’s room once more. When you arrive, simply speak to the merchant and sell him your big catch to complete the request and earn Spinel x8. Spend them wisely!

Is the Stardew Valley 1.6 update on consoles and mobile? Switch, PS5, Xbox, more
Stardew Valley

There are few cozy games as successful and beloved as Stardew Valley, so it's no wonder it has received regular updates since its 2016 release.

The 1.6 update for Stardew Valley was released back in March 2024 for PC, adding new festivals and events, NPC dialogues, farm types, more pets, and much more. Unfortunately, the update did not immediately release on consoles, leaving farmers playing on smartphones, Switch, Xbox or PlayStation waiting for all the new content.

Best gaming console deals: cheapest prices on PS5, Xbox S and X and Switch

While gaming PCs are great, if you're the type of person who wants a more plug and play experience and to sit at the TV, then a PS5 or Xbox makes a lot of sense. That said, there aren't a ton of great deals on the consoles themselves right now, although there are still quite a few good bundle deals that are worth grabbing. To that end, we've gone out and collected our favorite Series S and X deals, PlayStation 5 deals, and Nintendo Switch deals, so you can pick whichever one sparks your fancy.
Xbox Series S 1TB + 1TB Storage Expansion Card -- $450 $500 10% off

The Xbox Series S is the less powerful but cheaper option out of the newest generation Xbox line. When comparing the Xbox Series S versus the Xbox Series X, the Series S takes a hit in all the component categories. That means it's not quite as fast. But if you're not hung up on getting the optimal performance out of your system, you'll actually notice very few differences. The two biggest ones are the Series S's inability to play in 8K, and its lack of a disc drive. Most people don't even have 8K TVs, so that shouldn't be an issue. If you're alright with downloading all of your games straight to the console's memory (and you have a separate DVD or Blu-Ray player), the Series S will work fine. It's quite a bit smaller anyway, and easier to fit on a shelf.

How to fix all paintings in Life is Strange: Double Exposure
Max Caulfield

Life is Strange: Double Exposure tells an emotional and captivating tale that aims to keep you guessing right up till the end, and there are plenty of serious (and occasionally melodramatic) story beats to focus on as you work through this narrative-first adventure. But that doesn't mean there's never any time for a bit of fun on the side. As a matter of fact, you'll encounter a lot of optional content that just exists for worldbuilding purposes in this newest entry in the long-running franchise. One such event occurs in the opening hour of the game when a handwritten note on the wall informs you that some goofball has been turning the art pieces in the Snapping Turtle bar upside down.

If you want to earn a bit of appreciation from art enthusiasts, as well as net the "Art Restoration" trophy and achievement, you'll want to fix all three paintings in the Snapping Turtle bar. Here are their locations.
