The ascent to the top of Mount Kami isn’t an easy task in Cairn, and you’ll need to regularly heal Aava by taping her fingers.
While taping isn’t a challenging task, it can go unnoticed as you try to get to the top. Additionally, you’ll also need to find tape while you’re climbing to the top. Let’s look at how to tape Aava’s hand in Cairn, and why it’s so important.
Taping in Cairn explained
When you meet Aava for the first time, you’ll notice that she has her hands fully taped. The tapes help her on the climb. The more brutal the climb, the more reliance on the tape. However, these tapes aren’t indestructible, and they will eventually wear off.
First, you’ll need to find tapes. You can get this item on different mountains, and their location could be random. I haven’t found them in plenty, but they’re not too rare. In simple words, you’ll find them as you climb up the mountains.
You can wrap the tapes at the Bivouac. When inside your tent, select the option to Tape Fingers. You can only tape fingers where they have worn off already. If any of your fingers have tape, you can’t re-tape them before the existing one wears off.
Press the X button, and move the LS in a clockwise motion until Aava is done. If you have more than one figure that requires taping, you’ll have to do them separately. You’ll also need separate strips of tape for that.
When your hand and fingers are properly taped, you’ll have maximum grip. Grip allows you to hold on to the mountain cliffs for a longer period of time. The additional seconds might well be the difference between getting to the next level and falling to one’s death. I recommend taping your fingers whenever it wears off, as maximum grip is something that’s definitely worth your resources.
