The process of finding a secret instance on ARIS :)

Planet Specific Discussions ARIS

Hey all,

Been definitely enjoying ARIS alongside a lot of the player-base it seems, a few of us in Hardcore got bitten by the secret finding bug and spent the last two days painstakingly trawling the planet in search of its secrets. All in all, this was about 20-30 hours each of time spent by myself, and other members of Hardcore during the search. Wanted to make sure this was made available to all instead of staying behind locked doors.

The instances are both public and I believe enterable by teams, come in three flavours of ‘small’, ‘medium’ and ‘large’ and the new mobs in there seem to drop Snake Oil and Hyperium :slight_smile:

After finding data terminals in the robot instances we pieced together the information to find a passcode to a door that’s in the cliffside North-East of Transit Base ‘Edwin’.

And the passcode for the door, which teleports you to the upper side of the plateau:

There’s some extra lore up here which goes into more detail into the ‘cube’ artifacts and hints at what might be coming! But i’ll let people discover the lore themselves.

After a painstaking search, I found [ARIS, 33693, 20415, 317, Waypoint] at the north end of the area, jumping down found the secret instance and another dead scientist!

Thanks especially to Born, Bobbaz and Shilda who painstakingly helped grid-search the entire planet for scientists and clues! Bonus image of us partially working through the grid search of the entire planet!

Did you need the hyperium voucher to get flagged to use the interactable to enter the access code? The authorization required and enter keycode box was not popping up yesterday. Maybe fixed with patch? Will have to look into more things that were non-functional yesterday as well now :unsure:

edit: found out interactable objects not working previously was a bug, no vouchers or anything is needed to access this. thanks.

Ah I tried accessing that door and it did nothing, so the latest patch fixed it?

Seen a few reports now of people not getting this prompt, I’m not sure yet if fixed or if it’s still happening intermittently.

Totally fresh green news to me. Thanks for the info!
So what do we suppose ARIS stands for eh? All Ready It’s Super?

Anti Robot Invasion System or something like that according to the news. I like Another Rock In Space better though (someone posted here on PCF)

Hyperium dropped from these mobs is whats required for the alter thats on the small island at the bottom of the map. It asked for 10000 Hyperium, it’ll be interseting too know what that atler does.

Can U send a waypoint ingame from this altar?

Actually what happened for me was, I was on the wrong side.

I had revived on the Elder island, jumped in the fire pond, and ended up the other cube and tried that door. I didn’t realise there was another door the other side of the mountains and that presented the code prompt just fine.

Its dead in the centre of the little island, i was only able too get there due too there being no revive. I thought i was stuck on there, Too my belief this has been fixed with a revive being placed between the main island and the little one.
