Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora boasts a total of twelve Ancestor Skills that can empower your Na'vi protagonist. To acquire these skills, players must interact with the Tarsyu Flowers scattered throughout the game. There are precisely twelve of these flowers, and accessing each one rewards you with an Ancestor Skill and two regular skill points.

It's important to note that, like other plants in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Tarsyu Flowers are not accessible when the surrounding area is polluted. Clearing nearby RDA bases may be necessary to interact with these flowers. While the in-game map indicates the general locations of all skills, some players might encounter difficulties due to the map not providing precise details, especially when the skill is concealed within an easily overlooked cave. With that in mind, here's a guide to finding all the skills and understanding how they work.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora - How to Defeat a Thanator Non-Feral (No Easy Prey)

Players that are trying to earn Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora's No Easy Prey achievement can learn where to find a non-feral Thanator here.

Air Boost

Region: Kinglore Forest
Location: Encountering the first Tarsyu Flower is an integral part of the main story. As such, this skill is impossible to miss.
Function: The Air Boost Skill bestows players with a double jump ability. This is a must-have ability that significantly improves traversal and allows players to reach areas that would otherwise be inaccessible.

Eject

Region: Kinglore Forest
Location: Head to the marked spot, situated southeast of the Hometree. Stop when you encounter a cluster of floating islands interconnected with vines. Ascend by climbing and utilizing the vines to reach the summit, where you can claim your reward. Alternatively, you can take the easy way and fly to the top using your trusty Ikran.
Function: RDA mechs controlled by humans can be a real pain to take down. The Eject Skill tips the scales in your favor by enabling you to rip the pilot out of the mechsuit. However, exercise caution, as you'll need to get close to the mech in order to do so.

Drop Impact

Region: Kinglore Forest
Location: Head to The Boundless Range, where you'll find even larger floating islands than those previously encountered. The skill is not situated at the summit but rather on the middle islands. Use your Ikran to scout the area and locate the skill, which should be relatively easy to find. Feel free to use your Na'vi sense if you are having trouble.
Function: Drop Impact Skill beefs up your melee damage when initiated after a jump. Your speed before the jump determines the degree of the damage boost. Additionally, the melee attack will stagger any nearby enemies.

Soft Landing

Region: Kinglore Forest
Location: The Soft Landing skill is situated in the middle of Gossamer Lakes. Find a small island surrounded by water, make your way there, and enter the cave on its opposite side. Keep following the path and you will see the Tarsyu Flower. You will need to do a little bit of climbing as well.
Function: Soft Landing Skill allows you to mitigate fall damage by initiating a slide with the press of the crouch button. Keep in mind that it won't save if you decide to jump from a floating island. There is a limit to how much punishment your knees and legs can take.

Deeper Connection

Region: Kinglore Forest
Location: The Deeper Connection Skill is found in a colossal broken tree situated to the north of the Laser Ore Processor Alpha RDA Base. Regrettably, access to it is restricted until the base is cleared, as the base is responsible for causing pollution in the nearby area. Given that it is a level-20 base, be prepared for a formidable battle.
Function: Deeper Connection Skill is a must-have if you like flying around with your Ikran, as it enhances the creature's stamina. This improvement is achieved by strengthening the bond between the protagonist and the Ikran.

Way of the Diplomat

Region: Upper Plains
Location: The skill is found in the massive rock formation east of the Horsehead Plateau. Upon arrival, direct your attention below the roof of the formation. You'll spot the Tarsyu Flower perched on a small elevated rock.
Function: Way of the Diplomat Skill grants players more favors when completing quests and other activities.

Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora - 6 Things You Need To Do Early Game

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora players have access to several useful things at the beginning of the game. Here's what they should do first.

Reconnaissance

Region: Upper Plains
Location: Enter the expansive cave through the entrance at the Shattered Bridge, and you'll find the Tarsyu Flower right in front of you.
Function: The Reconnaissance Skill enables you to track the path of RDA units, including soldiers and mechs. This is a great skill to have if you plan to go the stealth route, as you can pick off enemies one by one.

Screech Ability

Region: Upper Plains
Location: Screech Ability is situated inside the floating mountain in the Step's Cradle region. Locate a cave entrance at the mountain's base and proceed inside. Follow the path, ascending the pink platforms until the flower comes into view.
Function: Players can use their Ikran to produce a screeching sound, disorienting and damaging smaller enemies. However, this ability won't have any effect on larger enemies.

Wing Gust

Region: Upper Plains
Location: Wing Gust lies on top of the Toruk Peak in the Eywa's Reach region. Players must use their Ikran to ascend to the summit and locate the flower positioned between two red trees.
Function: Players can disorient and damage enemies by commanding their Ikran to unleash a gust of wind upon landing.

Ghost Strike

Region: Upper Plains
Location: The Ghost Strike skill is nestled within the rock formation of First Zakru. Seek out a cave entrance near the ground, and upon entering, you'll encounter a pink door obstructing your path. Disregard it and swim through the water below to the opposite side. Keep following the path, and after one more dip and some climbing, the flower should be in front of you.
Function: Ghost Strike is a straightforward skill, providing players with a 30% stealth damage bonus.

Free Fast Travel

Region: Clouded Forest
Location: To unlock the Free Fast Travel skill, go to the Stone Cloud Valley area. Use your Ikran to ascend as high as possible, then search for a gap between two mountains and enter it. Navigate through some platforming challenges along the straightforward path until you discover the discreet Tarsyu Flower. Interact with it to activate the skill.
Function: Using Fast Travel in Frontiers of Pandora consumes energy. However, Free Fast Travel eliminates this penalty, allowing players to fast travel without any drawbacks.

Tarsyu Network

Region: Clouded Forest
Location: The Tarsyu Network is situated atop the Crying Giant mountain in the Cascading Stones area. Use your Ikran to effortlessly reach the summit.
Function: Engaging with a Tarsyu sapling will reveal the location of the next sapling, making it easier to collect these items.

In Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, there is no achievement for acquiring all the Ancestor Skills. Nevertheless, obtaining three of these skills will unlock the "Talk to the Ancestors" Trophy.
