1. Enter and Explore the Kuuvahki Experimental Design Bureau
Once the cutscene concludes, get ready to enter the building by selecting ‘Enter the Container.’ Follow the path to reach the next marker, encountering several enemies along the way, whom you can either fight or bypass. Your goal is to eventually drop into a room from the ventilation system and use an elevator to access the subsequent quest area.
In this new location, approach the chest to discover a girl hiding inside.
2. Hide in the Container Nearby
When the Fatui approach, hide in the nearby container by walking close to it. Select the ‘Hide’ option that appears. Unfortunately, the Fatui will find you regardless, prompting a battle. Defeating them will allow you to proceed.
3. Look for a Way to Exit the Room
After defeating the Fatui, it’s time to exit the room. Use the terminal next to the locked door to operate the Cleaning Bot. Control it to approach the Fatui soldiers behind the door; once near, press the Attack key to acquire the door key. Head back to the locked door, use the key, exit the bot, and face the remaining Fatui guards.
4. Look for the Owner of the Lost Item
Ascend the ladder to find the girl locked in a cell. Get close to trigger a cutscene, then speak with her and promise to help free her.
5. Find a Way to Rescue the Girl
Head to the Cleaning Bot console again, as you’ll need it to retrieve the key card. After collecting it, use your character to unlock the prison cell for the girl, who introduces herself as Netochka. Be prepared to fight off more Fatui that show up after her release.
6. Continue Onward to the Dormitory
Follow Netochka toward the dormitory, defeating several Fatui soldiers along the way. At one point, you will separate to ride the Aurora line as a Kuuhenki, but ultimately reunite at the dormitory.
7. Look for Clues in the Dormitory
Search the dormitory for clues, examining the Strange Blueprint, the beds, and the iron container. After some Fatui soldiers arrive, you will get more hints about the Proof of Cogniscenti and will need to head outside to use the elevator to the archives.
8. Go to the Archives
Once you reach the archives, a Fatui group led by Melekhov awaits. Defeat them quickly to continue exploring. Inside, you’ll need to investigate near the table where Netochka is working to see Raskolnikov speaking about the Proof of Cogniscenti.
9. Find a Way to Open the Gate
Once again, operate the Cleaning Bot near the locked door. Stealthily approach the Fatui soldiers to steal the key card. If you get spotted, you will lose control. Once you have the key card, open the door and defeat the Fatui on the other side.
10. Defeat Cutting Edge Fire Support Ground Effect Landcruiser
Prepare for a miniboss fight against the Cutting Edge Fire Support Ground Effect Landcruiser. While you can battle it traditionally, utilize the Kuuvahki’s power to smash the boss using the pistons nearby, making the fight easier and quicker.
11. Find a Way to Enter an Empowered State
After fighting through, you need to find a way to activate an elevator. Locate the Cleaning Bot console on the southern side. Control it and place it near the blue circle to empower yourself, then jump onto the blue area to proceed to the main area.
12. Defeat Raskolnikov Poruchik
Your final challenge is Raskolnikov Poruchik, the Local Legend of Nod-Krai. Don’t worry; as the fight is toned down, it won’t be too overwhelming. Defeating him will conclude the quest with a rewarding cutscene.
