Talk:Aporkalypse Calendar/@comment-35160782-20190821123944

1. get ROTTEN EGGS+NITRE+COAL for GUNPOWDER (at least 5 pieces)

2. get BLUE GEM (x2 if you're unlucky) to make MAGNIFYING GLASS

3. get GAS MASK for gas rainforest biome

4. get plenty of light items and find and explore the Ancient Ruins with the Herald on top in the Gas Rainforest

5. find the passage that links them to the 5th island

6. on the 5th island explore and find the other Ancient Ruins entrance with the Herald on top and explore them 7. use the mag glass on the suspicious cracks and blow them up with gunpowder. Some say the hidden doors can be opened by mining pillars and causing earthquakes, in my case the room that had the entrance to the Calendar - had no pillars, so I had to rely on the gunpowder ;)

8. when you enter you will find some pig spirits and some mobs (scorpions for me) but if you exit and re-enter the spirits will dissapear and you will fight only the mobs

9. stand on the pressure plates to set the calendar one day after alignment

10. repeat every 19 days or so to revent Aporkalypse - now it's easier since you have the rooms explored :)

I think you can brute force it and use only gunpowder on each suspicious crack if you don't find enough blue gems or you use up mag glass before finding the right passage. I think the pigs should sell red/blue gems in the Mineral Exchange shop and renew them every 10 days or so, in my game the drops for red/blue were pretty slim.
