Interceptor update, detailed guide – Sentinel ship and multitool hunting
 |
Hi, I've seen a lot of players still don't know basics from new update or don't know some things from it. So I decided to create a detailed guide. It's written step by step but I assume some really "basic basics" are known to a reader so I skip those. Still I hope this will help to some players in their gaming. I also included Q&A at the end but feel free to ask, I will answer if I know the answer 🙂 That Q&A section is made from questions from this Reddit. Basic informationsThose are Corrupted Sentinels. They are your key to your hunting, whether you want jetpack, multitool or Sentinel ship. You can only find them on special planets labeled with "Corrupted Sentinels". They won't attack you on their own (as normal non-aggressive Sentinels) and you can actually make nice photos with them like that. When you hit them, the hunt will start and you will have to fight 5 waves of them. They have ability to go invisible and they have pretty strong ranged attacks. To find planets with Corrupted Sentinels you have to either search for them manually or you can use Dreadnought AI Fragment, which will label for you a planet with Corrupted Sentinels and ship (more to that in ship hunting section). How to find Sentinel multitools and jetpackTo find Sentinel multitool/jetpack, you have to find Harmonic camp. To find it, you have to actually fight Corrupted Sentinels. They have a chance to drop Echo Locator: Echo Locator is used to locate Harmonic camp on the planet. You actually have to be in the system with planet with Corrupted Sentinels on it or you won't be able to use this item ! After obtaining Echo Locator, you can use it to get direct position of Harmonic camp, it looks like this: The things you care about are mainly the middle big building and tent on the left from it. Tent has free multitool for you but it's locked and you first have to solve the puzzle. To solve the puzzle, you have to enter the terminal in the main building. You can see it's locked. To unlock terminal and your multitool, you have to solve the puzzle. First you have to "Scan memory registers" to get a hint. Once you get a hint, it's pretty easy to even guess what to do next. You have 3 pieces of simple math in front of you. You have to calculate the result of each one. So there it is: 9, 9 and 4. You have to remember those 3 results (doesn't matter in which order). Then you can go back via "Access main interface" and click on "Input override glyphs". Now you just have to enter glyphs with numbers same as your results. In this case I had to enter glyphs with numbers 9, 9 and 4. And that's it, you can take your free jetpack from terminal and free multitool from nearby tent. How to find crashed Sentinel ships and claim themThere are 2 main ways how to find them. First one might be a lot easier for people just already looking for multitools. Since you already found the Harmonic camp on the planet, you can in the same terminal you unlocked, ask for coordinates for the crashed ship on the planet. Terminal will give you exact location and mark on the radar, where the ship is. All you have to do is to fly there. The second way is much better for hunters who want to hunt many ships and not only 1. When you start attacking Corrupted Sentinels on the ground, you can then jump into your ship and those Sentinels will call their ships to fight you. All you have to do is to beat their 4 waves and then the best part comes, 5th wave is fight you vs few Sentinel ships + Sentinel Freighteir – and that's what you care about. When you'll manage to destroy Sentinel Freighter, you will always get Dreadnought AI Fragment. Dreadnought AI Fragment is very handy item. It can mark crashed Sentinel ship on the planet BUT also when you aren't in the system with Corrupted Sentinels planet, it will mark you the closest system with such a planet to you. This is great item for hunters to actually not waste time with first way of finding ships. After using Dreadnought AI Fragment it will give you the aprox. location of the crashed ship on the planet. That "aprox. location" is really small circle around that label and you will be able to notice the ship on your arrival most of the time. If not, you can just land on that spot and with your Visor you can just follow the path (100 – 700 units most of the time, really small range as I said). If you'll use Dreadnought AI Fragment in a system without corrupted sentinels, you will get your closest system with such planet marked on your Galaxy Map. You can see a purple-white icon near that system and you'll get followable quest so the map actually tries to take you there. ——————– How to claim crashed Sentinel shipTo claim crashed Sentinel ship you can just follow up the quest you will get when you click on the ship. However, if you want more detailed info, here it is: After you found your ship, click on it and you'll see what you actually need to repair it. It's always the same, so farming some resources more times might get handy in future 🙂 You want to grab everything from the ship and specially the "Hyaline Brain" which is essential for your repair. You need Hyaline Brain to obtain Harmonic Brain and actually get control over your new ship. All you have to do is to click on Hyaline Brain in your inventory and it will give you the location of small base-like relic. It looks like this. Then you need to go up and start talking with relic. After short dialogue you will get your Harmonic brain. You also need 2 more materials to claim your ship. One is Radiant Shard which is pretty easy to obtain. You just have to find big purple crystal like this and mine it (you need Advanced Mining Laser to mine it !). After you have even your Radiant Shard, you need the most tricky part and it's Inverted Mirror. This item is obtainable just by destroying big black-purple Corrupted Sentinel machine. It looks like this, basically big purple mining-like thing. You need to shoot it and destroy it (which will of course provoke all Corrupted Sentinels so you will have to fight again). After destroying it, you will automatically get Inverted Mirror into your inventory. And that's all, you can go back to your crashed ship, repair it and you are proud owner of your own Sentinel ship 🙂 Q&ACan I search for those items as novice? How many ships can spawn on one planet? Are those ships the same spawn type? How rare is S class ship? I have occupied slots in my multitool, what to do? Every found multitool has such occupied slots and all you have to do is to repair them. You can get materials for repairing either from fights with Corrupted Sentinels or from Radiant Shards and Inverted Mirrors. submitted by /u/Updated_Cake |
