Uncover the truth behind Avar’s motives in The Overlookers. What begins as a standard investigation inside the Fortress turns into a shocking betrayal that challenges your trust and resilience.
After stabilizing the Fortress systems, the next directive leads you to the Central Control Room, where unexplained activity threatens the remaining Phoxynamo network. You’ll face powerful foes, make a critical trust decision, and navigate the aftermath of an unexpected betrayal.
The Overlookers: Step-by-step guide
Step 1: Head to the Central Control Room
Follow the navigation markings deeper into the Fortress. The route is heavily guarded — prepare for close combat and long-range counterattacks. Keep an eye on terminals and scanners as they hint at upcoming system interference.
Step 2: Defeat the Battle Maven
Encounter a new elite enemy type: Battle Maven.
This foe deals high burst damage and uses sweeping AOE attacks — dodge during their weapon charge. Once defeated, continue to the Central Control Room.
Step 3: Shut down the defense mechanism
Interact with the control console to deactivate the Fortress’ defense system.
Step 4: Investigate the Central Control Room (0/3)
You’ll need to examine three investigation points scattered around the chamber.
Each point reveals fragments of the Overlookers’ internal network and their ties to Avar. Interact with each by pressing [Y] when prompted.
Step 5: Avar’s betrayal
A mid-scene cut triggers after the third investigation.
Avar reveals hidden intentions — you’ll face a choice:
- Trust Avar
- Do not trust Avar
Both paths lead to losing consciousness.
Step 6: Investigate the surroundings & exit the Control Room
You awaken in a damaged section of the Control Room. Search the wreckage for clues on what happened during the blackout. After recovering, follow the exit marker to escape.
The Overlookers: Battle Maven: Fight Tips
Here are some tips and tricks to defeat Battle Maven without a sweat:
- Switch weapons often – Build Phoxene with melee, then burst with ranged attacks.
- Time your dodges – Use i-frames to evade heavy swings; don’t spam them.
- Break its stance – Focus damage until the boss staggers, then unleash combos.
- Adapt your loadout – Check enemy type and use weapons or elements it’s weak to.
- Grab nearby buffs – Phoxene crystals or fragments can boost your damage or defense before the fight.
