The ascent to the top of Mount Kami is no 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 her hands are fully taped. The tape helps her on the climb. The more brutal the climb, the more reliance on the tape. However, tape is not indestructible, and it will eventually wear off.
First, you’ll need to find tape. You can get this item on different mountains, and the location could be random. I haven’t found loads myself, but it isn’t too rare.
You can wrap the tape at the Bivouac. When inside your tent, select the option to Tape Fingers. You can only tape fingers where they have worn off already.
To apply tape, press the X button and move the LS in a clockwise motion until Aava is done. If you have more than one finger to tape, 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 longer. 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 definitely worth your resources.
