What to know
- The Auronyx node on Power Plateau is reached through a concealed underground entrance, not from an open-field deposit.
- The quickest approach starts from Plateau Trunkway and follows the torn highway toward Bonekrusher Warcamp.
- A blockage inside the underground route must be destroyed (bring an explosive before heading in).
- After the obstruction is removed, the node is harvested normally like other rare growth/ore points.
In Arknights: Endfield, Power Plateau’s Auronyx route is short, but it’s easy to miss because the entrance blends into the terrain and the actual node sits behind an internal obstruction. The guide below expands the exact path and the key “don’t miss it” moments so the detour stays fast and repeatable.
Reference table for Auronyx (Power Plateau)
| Item | Category | Where it is collected | Fastest starting point | Key requirement | Run type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Auronyx | Rare Growth / rare gather node | Power Plateau (underground) | Plateau Trunkway | Explosive to clear a blockage | Short cave detour + harvest |
The route begins on the Power Plateau surface and then drops into an underground section via a concealed entrance along the torn highway.
Use these navigation cues to stay on track:
- Start at Plateau Trunkway, then head toward the torn highway segment that leads in the direction of Bonekrusher Warcamp.
- Stay close to the right-hand side as the highway breaks and the path narrows; the entrance is tucked against the wall rather than sitting in the middle of the route.
- If the path starts to open up and feel like it’s pushing fully into the camp area without any “drop-down” or cut-in along the wall, backtrack a few steps and re-scan the right wall carefully.
How to collect Auronyx on Power Plateau
Step 1: Bring an explosive before leaving the teleporter
An explosive is needed to break the obstruction that blocks the Auronyx node later in the route. If the run starts without one, the cave can still be reached, but the node will remain inaccessible until returning with the correct tool.
Step 2: Teleport to Plateau Trunkway
Plateau Trunkway is the cleanest reset point for repeating the farm route because it places the run close to the torn highway approach.
Step 3: Follow the torn highway toward Bonekrusher Warcamp
Move along the torn highway heading toward Bonekrusher Warcamp. The goal is not to enter the camp itself, but to reach the wall section where the underground access is hidden.
Step 4: Locate the concealed underground entrance on the right wall
Keep the camera angled so the right wall stays in view while moving. The entrance is easy to walk past if sprinting straight down the center of the route, so slow down briefly around the most broken portion of the highway and check the wall line.
Practical way to avoid missing it:
- Reduce speed for a few seconds when the road looks most “torn” and uneven
- Sweep the camera right, then forward, then right again
- If the entrance isn’t found within a short sweep, take a few steps back and repeat the scan (it usually appears once aligned correctly against the wall)
Step 5: Go underground and push forward until the blockage
After entering, follow the underground passage forward. This section is straightforward—keep moving deeper until reaching the point where the route is stopped by a destructible blockage.
Step 6: Destroy the obstruction with the explosive
Use the explosive on the blockage to open the path. Once cleared, proceed into the newly opened area.
Step 7: Harvest the Auronyx node
After the obstruction is removed, interact with the Auronyx node and complete the gather. This is the whole purpose of the detour, so confirm the pickup before leaving the cave.
Step 8: Exit and reset the route for later farming
Leave the underground section the same way and return to other objectives. When it’s time to farm again after the node refreshes, repeating the run from Plateau Trunkway keeps the route consistent.
Common problems that slow this run (and how to fix them)
Missing the entrance is the #1 time loss on this route. The fix is to stop sprinting for a moment and scan the right wall along the torn highway section; the entrance is concealed and easy to overrun.
Reaching the blockage without an explosive is the #2 issue. If that happens, the only efficient fix is to leave, prepare the explosive, then repeat the short run back to the underground obstruction.
Rewards

| Harvest the Auronyx node on Power Plateau | Auronyx | Obtained immediately after successfully gathering the node. |
The Power Plateau Auronyx run
This is a quick in-and-out route once the entrance location is memorized: torn highway toward Bonekrusher Warcamp, hug the right wall, drop into the concealed underground entrance, blow the blockage, harvest Auronyx, and leave. With an explosive prepared ahead of time, the run stays clean and doesn’t require detours or extra setup.
