Overview
Hazard channels with tight jumps, fumes, and patrols. Short loops and cautious clears matter more than speed.
Map Highlights
- Benches: At junctions—rest often to bank progress.
- Via Bells: Great for skipping back through cleared ducts.
- Merchant: Shakra may set up in a side conduit for map sales.

- Approach: Follow industrial signage from neighboring routes; listen for humming.
- Purchase & rest: Buy the area map and rest at a bench to update parchment. Quill/Compass improve tracking in tight tunnels.
- Missed it? You can meet Shakra later to buy missed maps.
Route Tips
- Hazard pacing: Clear enemies first, then make precision jumps.
- Resources: Carry enough for repairs if hazards chip gear.
- Links: Often ties into Underworks and industrial routes.
Hazards & Traversal
- Fumes/vents: Watch emission cycles; move during lulls, wait out bursts.
- Tight ledges: Take short hops; avoid greedy dashes along slick platforms.
- Moving platforms: Clear ranged patrols before committing to rides.
- Return loops: Flip levers to create quick paths back to benches/bells.
Suggested Scout Loop
- Entry → Junction Bench: Stabilize your checkpoint near the first junction.
- Bench → Shakra: Follow signage/humming to buy the ducts map; add Quill/Compass.
- Side conduits: Clear short branches between fume bursts; mark tougher jumps.
- Lever loop: Open a return path to your bench or bell.
- Deeper pass: Extend one segment at a time, returning to bank progress.
Bench Order (Early)
- Junction Bench: First safe reset near core split.
- Mid‑Duct Bench: Reduces downtime during vent timing practice.
- Bell‑adjacent Bench: Best once the bell is active for fast shuttles.
Tips for Fumes & Vents
- Count cycles: Enter during quiet windows; bail out early if timing slips.
- Control space: Pull enemies back into safe pockets before jumps.
- Heal windows: Use corners and low vents as cover between bursts.
FAQ
- Where’s the map vendor? In a side conduit near main signage; listen for humming.
- I keep mistiming vents—what helps? Count bursts, use short hops, and practice segments between benches.
- Any recommended tools? Quill/Compass for mapping; survivability crests for chip damage.
