Transarctica is a scenarised game. To win the game, you have to follow the scenario.l'horloge du transarctica

The fast track to success

First, stock up Lignite and Antrhacite. For this, to some commerce. While doing this, arm your train.

Then, you need to go tu Rhum (it is North West) in order to buy there the Drill. To get the Transarctica so far away, you will need slaves and steel beams to build a bridge.

Once you have added the Drill to the Transarctica, be sure to put it in front of the train, or in last position. Don't add anything behind if you place it in last position. Remember if you win a train battle, there may be new wagons added. The drill only works in first or last position of the train.

Now, rush to Urga's oasis. It is located at the end of the track, South. Follow the track south from Tunis. Warning; there is no access directly from In Salah. The track self-creates while you run the track. Then, you will meet Urga, and he will give you a key.

Now, you have to find the Mammoth Cimetary. It also is hidden at the end of a track... Take up North (see the main map, higher, beween Beyruth and Turin). The access to the Cimerary is a labyrinth. Here is the solution:

Note down the number that appears by the end of the Cimetary presentation: 58947. You now can open the locker in Oslo, the lockers-city. Oh yes, Oslo is in the Arctic Baron! But as most of the scenario elements, this city is not on the map!

Before going to Oslo, you have two tasks to achieve:

  1. Buy a harpoon-wagon (sold in Baku, eh yes)
  2. Get some track cars, and/or slaves + steel beams. Thanks to this webpage, this task is not mandatory anymore.

While crossing the bridge when you are going to Oslo, the Loch Ness monster will attack the train. The harpoon-wagon is automatically activated and kills the monster. But the track ahead is mined!

Oslo : ville consigne

To arrive to Oslo, either you follow the non-mined tracks --there is one solution, look carefuly!-- or you send track cars and repair the tracks.

Once demined and rebuilded, you can run safely: mines don't come back once they have exploded. Get the Geiger counter.

Now, you will have to go to Omsk (North East). To go there, you will have to cross the bascule bridge --see the map to find it. You can cross this bridge only between 12 am and 2 pm. Watch the clock, put speed to the max, and release the brakes at 12 am. In fact, I tested it with only 200 km/h and you pass easily!

The access track to Omsk is deliberately complex. In order to save baks, here is the solution, but take many baks with you anyways, the track is long:

Solution accès à Omsk

Just before you arrive, you will be attacked by wolves. Have some soldiers and machine gun, or send ahead a line inspection car with missile. The wolfes horda is just before Omsk.

In Omsk, buy a supplementary boiler. You will need it to climb the Himalaya.

 

The secret base

Send spies to the 64/21 area and around. One of them will tell you that he found the secret base.

This is the message that you will receive; this message comes like any other message: [French version of the msg]

Message avant explosion

Order him to blow up all! It is amazing to see that the famous secret base is in reality the nuclear plant of Chernobyl (Tchernobyl in French). You are gonna blow up a nuclear plant! You get this message after successful destroying: [French version of the msg]

Apres explosion Tchernobyl

 

 

The Himalaya

You can you go to the Gycode. For this, you still need the Drill in first or last position. Take the south-eastern track that looks like stairs. The track reveals progressively. The way is long, and it ends with a very hard ennemy train: the Minautorus!

The Minautorus is waiting on space 154/62. It does not move.

En vue du train Union Viking

Fight this heavy militarized train. Destroy it.

Then? You win!
