Walkthrough[edit]

While standing on the platform you can use the special action keyPellet Shot.png Equip the Experimental Arcane Rifle to equip or unequip the bundle of a sniper rifle. It is useful for killing the floating Kryptis and Kryptis sharpshooters. While you're holding the rifle your weapon skills are overriden with the following:

# Skill Activation time Recharge time Description
1 Fire Missile.png Fire 0.25¼ Fire at your target. This projectile disintegrates after 1 second.
2 Empty Sliver Shells.png Reload 2 10 Reload your rifle, granting 10 more shots.
3 Exhaust.png Take Cover 30 Grant yourself stability for a brief period.

All platforms including Livia's can permanently disappear if they are damaged heavily, but only a minimum of one platform has to arrive at the Bastion of Knowledge for a successful completion.

Dialogue[edit]

Countdown before takeoff
Livia: The relics are too dangerous to portal down. We'll have to use the ley-line network.
Livia: Get on.
Livia: The Kryptis are drawn to magical energy like moths to a flame. Help me fend them off. And watch out for snipers.
During the event
Livia: Here come those moths I was talking about.
Livia: We're halfway there. Keep it up.
Livia: You handle yourself pretty well... for a mortal.
If a platform is damaged
Livia: We're taking a lot of hits. Fix it, hero.
Livia: I could really use some cover here, commander.
Livia: Not sure how much longer we can hold out.
Livia: Hey, hero, protect the platforms.
Killing a Kryptis Sniper
Livia: Not bad.
Livia: I do not like the Kryptis. I do not like them at all.
Livia: Yes. More of that.
Event success
Livia: Okay, everybody off.
Livia: There's the museum up ahead.
Event failure
Livia: I can't keep this up! Get out of here!

Notes[edit]

  • Getting credit for completing the event is difficult. The surest way appears to be getting many Kryptis kills with the SAK bundle.
  • There are five snipers along the path, killing at least two of them with the SAK rifle seems to get you the achievement guaranteed, regardless of if you've lost platforms (you'll get a line from Livia saying "Wow, you really know how to use that thing")
