  • Old Railway Cave

    Progression · Blue Zone

    Challenging
    Artifact Artifact of the DepthsUnlocks Rockwell
    Challenging, 3 of 5

    Watch outA narrow crouch tunnel early on means whatever you walk in with has to be cryopodded through. Karkinos and Aberrant Carnotaurus hold the middle. Aberrant Arthropleura spit shreds armor. Take the right path after the first waterfall. This is also the best place on the map to tame a Glowtail.

  • Hidden Grotto

    Underwater · Blue Zone lake

    Hard
    Artifact Artifact of the ShadowsUnlocks Rockwell
    UnderwaterHard, 4 of 5

    Watch outThe entrance is a vertical underwater shaft in the lake. Inside it alternates between long flooded tunnels full of Electrophorus, Cnidaria and Baryonyx, and sheer climbs. Time your climbs around earthquakes, because falling back into the water at the wrong moment is usually fatal. A swarm of Seekers guards the artifact itself.

  • Blue Obelisk Surface Exit

    Progression · Surface

    Brutal
    No artifact
    Brutal, 5 of 5

    Watch outThe way up to the Blue Obelisk surface area. Daylight on the Aberration surface kills unprotected survivors quickly, and Reaper Queens and Nameless roam it. Go at night, take the artifact-free route seriously, and know which hole you came out of before you need it.

  • Elemental Vault

    Progression · Red Zone

    Brutal
    Artifact Artifact of the StalkerUnlocks Rockwell
    Brutal, 5 of 5

    Watch outThe hardest cave on Aberration. Radiation the whole way, insane hostile density, deep ravines, and elemental water that deals 200 damage a second and destroys your suit. Follow the blue crystals along the ceiling on a Drake. Helena Note #30 is on the ground at a small crossroad at 87.2, 46.6.

  • Green Obelisk Surface Exit

    Progression · Surface

    Brutal
    No artifact
    Brutal, 5 of 5

    Watch outOne of two routes up to the Green Obelisk surface area. Same rules as the rest of the surface: lethal daytime heat, Nameless swarms and Reapers. The paired return entrance is a short distance away and is not the one you came out of.

  • Red Obelisk Surface Exit

    Progression · Surface

    Brutal
    No artifact
    Brutal, 5 of 5

    Watch outThe climb out to the Red Obelisk surface area, from the deepest and most hostile part of the map. Lethal daylight, Reapers below and Nameless above.
