Windblown allows players to don the role of their favorite animal and take down the strange, sentient robotic and stone enemies that await them in the Vortex. It can be a rather tough journey that requires a few runs before you meet other characters or face harder enemies. However, Windbown allows players to dive into the Vortex and take on the baddies together. However, this isn't a feature you can unlock right from the start of the game.

Fortunately, multiplayer can be unlocked soon after you start searching for other survivors in the Vortex. It might take a bit of time, but with patience, you'll meet the character you need to meet and start doing runs with all of your different animal buddies. You'll really get an appreciation for playing with them after so many failed runs. Everything players need to know about unlocking multiplayer to play with friends in Windblown can be found below.

How to Play Multiplayer in WindblownHow To Play With Friends In Windblown (1)-1

Players need to locate a character in the Vortex named Pietro. He is a green bird who can take care of the cannon for the Leaper teams. After you find him, you must speak with him at the cannon in the center of the main hub map. Once that initial conversation is over, you can speak with him again to play multiplayer.

In the subsequent window, you'll need to select your region. Once that's settled, select Create Game or Join With Code. To create a game, you need to create a name for the group, select the language, settle on a maximum of players, choose the difficulty, and whether it is a private or public game. If you choose for the game to be public, you will immediately begin and players in your region will be able to jump in.

If you choose a private game, you'll need to create a code that you can share with your friends. Your friends will then need to select the Join With Code option and put in the code you created. To leave the group, go into the main menu and select the Leave Team option. You will immediately be removed and taken back to your private game.

Where To Find Pietro

How To Play With Friends In Windblown (2)

Pietro is the second character after FREND-43V3R you'll find hanging around in the Vortex. There is no specific place to look, so just continue moving forward through enemies and mini-boss fights. When you first see him, speak with him to learn that he needs to be attacked or knocked off the platforms to be taken back to the main hub world.

After that conversation, he will quite literally lay on the ground and wait for you to attack him. Just hit him once, and you'll see Pietro's Rescue Fish swallow him up to bring him back. The next time you die and are brought back to the hub world, he'll be standing right next to the Vortex cannon.
