Some tower crane control panels may be damaged. They must be repaired before they can be used.

The Protocol Synchronizer (Protosync) can detect the presence of special target objects. Perform scans to detect their approximate locations. Protosync responses get stronger as one approaches the objective.

Active Blight can be found in various places of Talos-II. They can block roads and impede exploration efforts. Active Blight masses must be eliminated for exploration to continue.

Operators who touch Active Blight will suffer various negative effects, quickly reach their tolerance limit, and disconnect. Removing the operators from Active Blight will undo the negative effects.

Active Blight cannot be eliminated unless its Blight Core is exposed. An exposed Blight Core can be destroyed by attacks or explosives to eliminate the Active Blight created by it.

The scan action can decrypt Active Blight. Approach the Active Blight and perform a scan to decrypt the Blight nearby to expose the Blight Veins and Blight Core.

Ankhors can constantly emit dangerous shockwaves. If the controlled operator is hit by this shockwave, the entire team will be forced to retreat.

Destroy the Ankhor core to stop the shockwaves.

Originium branches can generate a protective shield. Get behind the shield for protection against the shockwaves.

The shield of some Originium branches will shatter and lose its protective effects after taking a shockwave hit. Such shields will take a while to recover.

Some Originium Slugs have Originium branches growing out of them. These Originium branches will automatically generate shielded areas when the shockwaves hit. Enter them to get protection against the shockwaves.

The Timid Originium Slug will start escaping when someone enters their alert radius. It is extremely fast and can even roll around to protect itself.

Derangement gradually increases with time while exploring the Valley's Aberrants. Derangement also increases when interacting with Precipitation Crystals cores or entering combat. When the Derangement limit is reached, the team will be forcibly extracted from the Valley's Aberrants and the exploration attempt will be immediately tallied.

Safe zones can be found in Valley's Aberrants. They can be identified with their yellow lighting effects. Derangement will stop increasing when staying in a safe zone.

Valley's Aberrants comprise multiple areas. Derangement increases at different rates in different areas. Derangement tends to increase faster when exploring latter areas.

Many Precipitation Crystals exist in Valley's Aberrants. Smash the crystal to expose its core and interact with it to get precipitation nodules.

Precipitation nodules found during exploration are stored in the Isolation Container. The Isolation Container has a limited capacity and cannot hold more precipitation nodules when full.

The Valley's Aberrants have many storage points. Interact with them to acquire Precipitation Manifests but this will also increase Derangement.

Precipitation manifests are also stored in the Isolation Container. Precipitation manifests successfully brought from exploration attempts can be used for research and improve various abilities in the Valley's Aberrants.

There are 2 types of auxiliary pillars marked by their divinograms: (1) Yin and (2) Yang. Interact with them to light up the divinogram on the main pillar.

The main pillar divinograms are read from bottom to the top. Illuminate the auxiliary pillars in this sequence to activate the divinograms.

Perform scans to identify nearby water bodies.

Certain water bodies in the map have changeable water levels. These water bodies have "limited" fluid capacities. Examples include ponds and reservoirs.

Pumping out water from a limited-capacity water body with the Fluid Pump will lower its water level.

Supplying fluids into a limited-capacity water body with the Fluid Supply Unit will raise its water level.

Use the sluice gate to discharge water from one water body to another until the source water body is empty, or the destination water body is full.

A sluice gate cannot be used if the two water bodies connected by it contain different fluids.

Attack and hit the canal mechanism to rotate it. This will also rotate the canal linked to it. Once the canal is rotated to the correct angle, the canal mechanism will automatically retract.

Rotate the canals to the correct angles in the correct sequence to direct the flow of water to the waterwheel, activate a mechanism, and open up a new path.

When the indicator light of a rotating mechanism glows red, it is not working at all. If the light glows green, the mechanism is working properly.

To get a rotating mechanism to work properly, use a jet drone and keep spraying fluids at it.

Ferrium turbines are usually used to control other mechanisms. Use a jet drone to spray ferrium turbines so they start turning and control the operations of other linked mechanisms. Certain mechanisms can only be activated by continuously spraying the ferrium turbine for a while.

Certain gates in the region of Wuling are controlled by multiple mechanisms. The number of projections on a gate indicates the number of mechanisms controlling it. All mechanisms must be activated to open the gate.

Use a jet drone to activate nearby rotating mechanisms to unlock certain gates.

After connecting to a flow control node, a jet drone within range of the flow control node can be refilled with Clean Water from it.

Once a Xiranite flow control node is activated, it can continuously refill a jet drone within range with Liquid Xiranite.

Essentially Xiranite in liquid form. It can be used to eliminate Blight mudflows and activate Xiranite facilities.

All Xiranite flow control nodes in Wuling can now be activated and used, Endministrator.

Large masses of Active Blight can be found in Wuling. Such masses often exhibit abnormally high levels of light emissions near the Blight Cores. Spray Liquid Xiranite at the cores to completely eliminate these Blight masses.

If the Blight Core of a large Active Blight mass is not eliminated, the Blight will grow again and reach its former size.

In addition to using Xiranite flow control nodes to supply Liquid Xiranite to the jet drone, the AIC Factory can also mass produce Liquid Xiranite and make Active Blight elimination easier in Wuling.

Smaller masses of Active Blight in Wuling have no Blight Cores and are incapable of regrowing themselves. Simply spray Liquid Xiranite to clean them out.

Certain devices, machines, and mechanisms might be affected by Active Blight. The Blight must be eliminated to use them properly.

The randomly moving bamboo thickets of the Stragglers Grove have caused quite a bit of trouble for locals of Wuling outskirts. Those who find themselves lost in the grove are advised to use guiding lights nearby to find the proper path.

Guiding lights can temporarily dispel a number of grovenymphs nearby. Certain areas have sets of guiding lights that must be activated in the right sequence. Stone pillars with clues to the correct sequence are often found near these sets of guiding lights.

Hydrocubes are a type of power generators. A device linked to an overloaded or damaged hydrocube will fail to function. Use a jet drone to fix such hydrocubes.

Overloaded hydrocubes will float in mid-air. Use a jet drone to spray Clean Water at the orange-yellow indicator lights until the lights glow green.

Some overloaded and floating hydrocubes may also move or rotate randomly. Repair sprays must be made at the correct timing or proper angles of jet drone spraying.

The lotuses of Wuling are known for their wide and sturdy leaves. When the controlled operator stands on such a lotus leaf, it can glow and move across water. Aquatic microorganisms have been cited as the cause of such phenomena.

A lotus leaf moves along a fixed path. After reaching a specific place, it will pause for a while before returning to its original position. Explorers can use these lotus leaves to reach places they could not otherwise reach.

A wilted lotus leaf cannot carry as much load and will slowly sink when something heavy is placed on it. The leaf can no longer be stepped upon after it completely sinks. After a while, however, the lotus leaf will slowly re-surface.

Various crates can be found throughout the region of Wuling. Open them to acquire containers filled with Clean Water or Liquid Xiranite that can then be used by the jet drone.

Butterflies can lead travelers to nearby storage crates. Don't worry about them flying too fast. Some of them will slow down and wait for ponderous travelers.

The playful butterflies will sometimes scatter halfway through their flight. Regroup all the scattered butterflies and they will continue to lead the way again.

Use the jet drone to spray array stabilizing rods to stabilize various Xiranite facilities. Maintain a certain spraying rate to keep the stabilizing rod within the required temperature range and build up stabilization progress.

The required temperature range may keep changing. Adjust the jet drone spraying rate to match the range.

Use pressure switches to control the movement of floating blocks.

Activate pressure switches by having the controlled operator step on it, or by placing a floating crate on top of it. Move the controlled operator or floating crate away to deactivate it.

These valves are switches that can control water levels of a nearby water body.

Perform a dive attack to hit the protruding part of a pressure plate and activate it.

Certain areas have main balance switches near pressure plates. Interact with the switch first. The pressure plates will light up in a particular sequence. Memorize this sequence and hit the plates accordingly to activate the switch.

Sword pells are special main balance switches in the Bureau of Swordmancers. To switch one on, activate the nearby pressure plates according to the demonstrated sequence.

To turn the main balance switch on, activate the nearby pressure plates according to the demonstrated sequence.

Pat a glowing bugspitting lankybeast and it will spit out a glowbug, then pass that glowbug to the lankybeast at the finishing position.

Some lankybeasts are not at bug passing positions, but will jump away when people get close. Use this property and chase them around to force the lankybeasts to a proper bug passing position.

Some lankybeasts not in the passing positions move around or up and down with their lotus leaves. Study how the lotus leaves move and use the lankies on the leaves to pass the bugs.

Xiranite bridges have been constructed in the region of Wuling. Activate the switches to repair these bridges and form paths to previously inaccessible areas.

If a light column contains photosensitive sparks, follow the direction of the sparks to find the optical fog.

Optical fogs are often very well-blended into the environment, but attacking it will cause it to dissipate.

Use the jet drone to activate the rotation mechanism and rotate the bridge.
