Sloan will mark your map of a nearby abandoned research and surveillance outpost that was considered a possible base before construction had begun on the Eleos Retreat. The outpost is found just short of 1,000 meters from the Eleos Retreat, so get ready to fight the hostile life of Illyx II.
Searching For Clues In The Abandoned Outpost
In this quest,you will be met with heavy resistance from turrets, several Robot Model S, and Combat Robot A. You may recognize some of the rooms of the abandoned outpost from other facilities found on planets. However, there are some unique areas of the research facility that you won’t want to miss.
You will be attacked by a Robot Model S and turret in the first room of the outpost, turrets can be taken out easily with ranged weapons. However, be careful of the Robot Model S, as these enemies will rush you down and strike you with melee attacks.
There is an optional room found to the east of the main entrancethat can be unlocked using a Digipick. We recommend looting the room if you have the abilityto unlock Expert locks, as you’ll find the following items inside:
How To Find The Cell Key
Two paths diverge and meet back in the middle atrium, featuring a catwalk and staircase leading to your objective. However, you’ll be met with heavy resistance frommultiple turrets, Robot Model S, and Combat Robot A.
Before you enter the atrium, explore the canteen and kitchen area. This will lead to theliving quarters of the outpostcontaining the Cell Key,an item not required for the Ghost Hunt quest, but it will unlock a room containing high-tier loot, so pick it up!
Before you head into the atrium,enter the office overlooking the atrium to find thePeak Performance magazine.Picking up the magazine will grant you an additional five percent to unarmed damage.
With the Cell Key and Peak Performance magazine acquired, it’s time to take on the robots in the atrium.Fight your way to the bottom floor and navigate through the corridor to the final room.
Before you enter the second office room,turn left and unlock the room with the Cell Key. Inside, you can loot ammo along with theOfficer’s Refined AA-99 Assault Rifle.
Where To Find The Corrupted Slate
To find evidence of Levent Kilman’s kidnappers,search the small makeshift living quarters at the end of the office. There is aScience Crate filled with loot along with the Corrupted Slate.
Once you pick up theCorrupted Slatebacktrack through the office and use yourCutter to destroy the locks on the emergency access door. This will lead you to a shortcut through a vent back to the atrium.
There is a locked safe that you may unlock with aDigipickthat can be found in the atrium room hidden behind the supply crates and cargo.
How To Decipher The Corrupted Slate
Return to the Eleos Retreat and head over to the Infirmaryto find Monika Blum along with Sloan, Nevan, and Greg. Report to Sloan your findings before giving the slate to Monika for her to decipher, revealing that theTracking Alliance is behind Levent Kilman’s kidnapping.
Upon learning this,Sloan will ask you to negotiate with the Tracking Alliance at the abandoned outpost,preferably avoiding violence, as this would surely only cause more friction between the Eleos Retreat and Trackers Alliance.
Now that you have a lead on the kidnappers, you’ll complete the Ghost Hunt quest, earning you a large number of credits and XP, andsubsequently start the Exorcism quest.
