Locations
Key locations cluster in the east and north-central map areas.
- Gray Forest teems with robots dropping Electrical Components and Cog Wheels amid mechanical ruins marked by swirly icons.
- Sanctum of Expiation sits deep in a puzzle-filled dungeon for the Core of Expiation, while Crimson Mountains Fortress hosts a boss yielding the Hologram Projector.
- Tashkalp fork triggers the witch near Udravah, and vendors for Peddler’s Pack appear in nearby settlements; Kilnden Workshop anchors crafting in the central region.
Unlock the blueprint early
Start near Tashkalp, north of Demeniss.

At the road fork, interact with the child NPC and give a coin.

This will reveal the Witch Areciel’s marker northwest near Udravah.

Climb or glide to her lair using nearby nexus points.

Buy the Kuku Transmission 999k Pack blueprint book for 999 silver—farm gold bars if short.

Examine the book in inventory to learn the recipe.

Gather basic Kuku components
First, craft the foundational Kuku Pot and Pack. For this, visit Kilnden Workshop.

And speak to Gimnir.

| Item | Materials | Craft Location |
|---|---|---|
| Kuku Pot | 5 Timber, 5 Iron | Clifden Workshop |
| Kuku Pack | 1 Kuku Part, 1 Peddler’s Pack | Clifden Workshop |
Buy or steal Peddler’s Pack from a settlement vendor—it’s inexpensive.

Farm Electrical Components and Cog Wheels
Head to Gray Forest in the far east map edge, swarming with robots.

Target larger ones marked by rock swirly icons on mini-map for Electrical Components; all drop Cog Wheels generously.

Use grapple hook to loot quickly.

Obtain Core of Expiation from Sanctum
Travel deep into Sanctum of Expiation.

Clear all enemies first. Then you’ll need to solve the pillar puzzle.

For this, you’ll need to find two pieces – a cube piece and a fourth pillar top.
To get the cube piece, travel back to the ruin wall with vines.

Inside, grab the cube piece on the ceiling.

Then go further back, climb or glide up and go inside the gate.

Behind one of the walls will be the next piece for you to grapple and grab.

Return to the pillar puzzle and retrieve the cube piece from your inventory.

Lodge it in the square hole.

Then retrieve the pillar top piece. And fix it on top of the pillar.

After placing these, you will need to give them a push to lock them firmly in place.
Finally, use focus on the dial to spin and start. Hold the focus light button and let go before the dial passes over the red.

Once done, the core will come out from top of the sanctum.

You’ll simply need to grapple and seal it.

Secure Hologram Projector
Raid Crimson Mountains Fortress in the north.

Defeat Merrick boss—no full liberation needed.

Get the projector as dropped loot.
