[@jekasensuality]

This is the video I've been waiting for! You definitely went into specific details. Thanks so much. The struggle has been real. Great video sir ❤

[@ArgosInvestigations]

Great how-to video, again. Thank you, much appreciated! After getting fully kitted out today, your walkthourgh totally worked for me, solo. I got all four items out and I'm ready for the next thing (unlocking the portal). Your videos are great. Chronological, very well-narrated and explained in-depth. Thanks agin for putting these together; I will keep watching!

[@maxima1202]

Thank you for the how to do this mission. Here is how NOT to do it. I had to do it 5 times! One time I could not find the perforated target obelisk so make sure you get all obelisks locations from the video. Also I didn't get mirror because I didn't listen to the quadro40k narration properly so I thought the elements will pop one by one instead of watching the colour of the circle. Second time I couldn't find 15th cyst in the mall so I died. Third I got mirror but then I lost it when I killed the coloured zombie near the church with rgl blast when cleaning the horde that came with it. Fourth I went for mirror again, cleared the obelisk but forgot to take the mirror (yes I know!). Only on 5th time I got it.. And I haven't opened the portal with these items. So if I lose doing it I'd be coming for 6th time or more

[@aeroflopper]

Dark aether portal should already be open no need to collect items. but you still need it to complete story mission.

[@notnowmike_]

I'm on my 3rd try for the mirror. I keep getting mods out of order and run out of time.

U know i died 1 time only becuz of glitch building as i cant even see anything except doors lol. The 2nd time i got all the 3 items

[@tripingballs]

I know this is very late but this saved me so much time very nice tutorial

[@enpee7565]

There's an easier way to get on the ship, from where you start, climb the rocks beside it and hug them as you go round to the right, you get to a bit where you can jump over onto a building roof right beside a floating truck and from there you can jump onto the truck and up onto the ship. Then you just jump to grab the red bit and over that and you are on deck

[@Quadro40k]

Ah, thank you mate! I knew there must be an easier way!

[@maxima1202]

If you go around the closest end of the ship you can just climb aboard.

[@josesolis4275]

Have you completed yet? If you haven’t I’m willing to team up and complete the mission

[@SegetHills]

Can I just pick up the mma gloves and exfil, or do I have to do the whole mission?

[@Quadro40k]

There are no exfil points there, only the portal that spawns at the end after killing the boss. But you can go in with a tombstone perk, grab the gloves and die. Then pick up the gloves from the tombstone in the next round (it will be in the monastery on the main map).

[@King_Irv]

So do you have to do the escort part to exfil from the aether if you already completed the escort part before or is there an exfil portal on the map?

[@Quadro40k]

You have to finish the escort and kill the boss, yeah. There's no other exit. Alternatively, if you have tombstone perk, you can pick up the items you need and die - your tombstone will be in the monastery on the main map next time. But then you'll have to regain of course.

You need some more credit for your videos man ! You watch all these other guys and they say it’s so easy just do this and it’s a crap show lol!

Murdered the boss quick! Thank you

[@rawn5309]

How did you keep your tombstone after leaving? Did you just activate go out of bounds and let it kill you or did you die inside the anomaly?

[@Vitality_Gaming]

I just died on my first solo run because of the mimic popping out of the investigation Anatoly. It had me stun locked and I couldn’t move or shoot and it and zombies got my ass 😂

[@cliveclive9552]

If you didn't want to Finnish the mission could you go in with tombstone and just do the 3 obelisks then die? I have done the mission before so have the drum already

[@Quadro40k]

@cliveclive9552 yeah, you can do it

[@cliveclive9552]

@Quadro40k that sounds good, one more thing if I was doing obelisk with another player would we both get the gloves and other rewards or just the one who activated the obelisk?

[@Quadro40k]

@cliveclive9552 you both get the items

[@maxima1202]

So you collected 3 items out of four (drum, mirror, gloves). Right? Does it mean you had to go for the 4th item and do the whole mission again or is the portal now opened forever and you can go and leave any time?

[@Quadro40k]

In this video I collected all 4 in one go - 3 from obelisks (mirror, gloves and target) and drum from the boss. But yeah, if you miss any, you can just keep them in your stash and come back to this mission any time to get the fourth one. However, each time you go, you have to complete the whole mission and kill the boss to exit.

[@maxima1202]

Yes it seems I kept missing the first one when rewinding and starting with the ship for some reason. Thank you

[@djhollowman9567]

Every time I "left the area" of that obelisk in the dry river bed, it never reset. Didn't matter how far away from it I got. Ended up having to finish with seconds to spare, and didn't get it. So I'll have to go back in after that item.

[@Quadro40k]

Yeah, they clearly changed it at some point so it doesn't reset anymore. No idea why.

[@djhollowman9567]

@@Quadro40k Quick question for you, maybe you'll know. When I go to the pedestals, and put the items on (gold items of course)... nothing happens. Like nothing. It's like it's glitched out. I was able to go back around, and pick up my items, and then the next round I went into I tried again. It did nothing, again, but this time, two of my items disappeared.

[@triqkiithe_cloud_kid9118]

Im trying to figure out, i know i can do any mission in any order for the most part, but to me is tier 4 after what happens to zakhaev or before? To me, from the breif description t4 says it seems you would do everything aside defeat zakhaev then do all t4 then zak. I could be wrong, but nothing shows ( as far as i know ) story wise if some or all of 4 is after or before zakhaev.

[@Quadro40k]

Definitely after. End of Zakhaev mission, Ava starts feeling the connection to DA, and then all T4 missions continue on that. So story wise you should do them in the order presented, I reckon they allow to do T4 any time just to ease off time gating for those who don't care about missions much.

[@triqkiithe_cloud_kid9118]

I’ve played this mission multiple times & still doesn’t count that I completed the story? Even tho the mission is equipped!

[@Quadro40k]

Quite a few people seem to have an issue with the first part of the mission never checking off. But that doesn't prevent you from extracting all 4 items, upgrading them and unlocking the dark aether. If I recall right, similar issues happened with Bad Signal mission too. So just don't worry about it, at least for now, until it's fixed.

My current problem is getting the one in the fog. I do have to mention that if you have elemental pop( at least for me) the kills won't count. I have tried with a mtz 556 and a rgl and they both didn't count. So I'm gonna run it again and see if not having ele pop helps but also I just got mag of holding from it, I wonder what other rewards we can get from this one or worm?

[@MrTriqks]

I do have to mention the mission worm before you get all ee items to put on the podium That worm

[@Quadro40k]

The boss here is not a worm, it's a mangler :) in terms of rewards, you can get any item from S2 dark aether - mags, VR11 or a bloodburner key. But neither is guaranteed, there's quite a bit of RNG in it.

[@MrTriqks]

Yeah that's what I figured. As I did manage to nab my first mags. I just now need to turn all those purple items gotten from this mission to gold. Although I'm trying to grind some epic pap2 / legendary, pap3 crystals. I was probably gonna attempt to survive in t3 🤣

I ended up dieing at the fogged up zone trying to get the mirror and my other team mate trying to complete the mission. But good we had tombstone and went back to grab the item i got and save it in my stash. Hell yeah one at a time baby 😅

[@Quadro40k]

In all DA locations, there's a gas circle that gets smaller as the mission progresses. It will center on players closer to the mission path - that's what happened to you. Because rest of the team continued on the path and you went for the items, you ended up in the storm. Now, storm is a problem, since not only it eats into your health, it also buffs zombies. It's one of those cases, where solo is arguably easier than with team. :)

[@herman2689]

Omg thanks for the explanation i did not put that into consideration kept on asking myself why is this happening to me lol that is crazy! meaning i will go in solo for the mirror yesterday i manged to get the gloves but i played late and just finished the mission with the team mate and after that went to bed. Today will get the last one. Thanks for letting me know buddy

I forgot to get one of those items. Does that mean I have to do the whole mission over again

[@Quadro40k]

You can do the mission all over again and get just that item. Or you can go in with a Tombstone perk, get the item and die. Your tombstone will then be on the main map by the monastery and you can pick your item from it. But you'll have to regain (vest, backpack and stuff).

Awesome video. I messed up and forgot to get the mirror. Can I just go back in and just grab the mirror and get out or do I have to recomplete everything again?

@jacobzehner2004 entering the portal should trigger it. There's an old going bug that doesn't tick this requirement off though. It's purely visual and doesn't stop your progression, but if it irritates you, you'll need to complete the mission again and it should clear.

[@Infinite_Curiosity-tm]

@@Quadro40k thanks, i wanted to ask you another thing: i'm having trouble with understanding how the aether portals work, i see there are three on the map and i know there are 12 total items you need to activate them and then you need a sigil to access them. Is there any difference between every portal?

[@Quadro40k]

Right. Each of the three portals leads to its own Dark Aether location, and each has different contracts and loot. Elder version of each portal has own set of schematics, that are not obtainable otherwise. For example, the portal you activate with items from Countermeasures, allows you to get VR11, Mags of Holding and Blood Burner key (and their schematics). So the sequence is: complete respective story mission, collect its relics and upgrade them, unlock the portal using these relics. Sigils are used to go into DA (obtainable from contracts in the red zone), Elder Sigils are only obtainable by completing contracts in DA and are used to go into Elder version of same DA to get schematics. I have video guides for each DA unlock and walkthrough. Have a look, it should become clear.
