Endgame

Back to the Top

#25 Rift: Automatic story rift. This is along the main path near the start of the area. Opening it creates ramps leading up to the next level.

#26 Rift: After passing through a broken grate, drop down to your left to avoid the plasma. Use the rift to reach the top and flip a switch to turn off the plasma.

#27 Rift: Shortly after the previous rift, you will head down a ramp and see an enemy in an open room on the left. The main path leads up to the right. Instead, go straight another rift.

#28 Rift: Before you get to the area where your (optional) backup arrives, look to the left for a path leading to a rift off the main path.

#29 Rift: Automatic story rift. Opening this rift reveals a set of platforms leading down to a lower level.

#30 Rift: Automatic story rift. Just after the previous rift, open another rift to reach the bridge controls above.

#31 Rift: Automatic story rift. Find the equation to activate the rift test and control the rift that is too big to approach.

#32 Rift: In the final area where you fight a large automech before entering the ship, open the rift on the left. If you followed the rest of this guide, the achievement or trophy will unlock.

#33 Rift: While on the Sovereign, you will need to generate a biomass sample using a rift. This is not required for the achievement/trophy if you activated the previous 32 rifts.
