Before embarking on this quest, ensure your Tadpole submersible is fully upgraded, especially with the deep dive module to reach depths of 400 meters. A rebreather and expanded oxygen tanks are also highly recommended for navigating the challenging environments.
Always check your equipment and inventory before heading into unknown or dangerous areas. Running out of oxygen or power at critical moments can be fatal.
Crafting Essential Tools: Feedback Resonator & Bioscanner
To obtain Axum Vision, your first task is to craft the Feedback Resonator and the Bioscanner. These tools are indispensable for interacting with the alien technology and environments.
Blueprint Locations
| Tool | Location 1 | Location 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Feedback Resonator | Edge of the map near green pools (beware of Collector Leviathan) | Specific alien outpost (details in logs) |
| Bioscanner | Cultured Alien facility | Another alien structure (specific scan point) |
The Collector Leviathan patrols the area near the green pools where some blueprints are found. Approach with extreme caution and be prepared to evade.
Material Acquisition
Gathering the necessary materials will likely require multiple trips. Below is a table outlining the key materials needed for these crafts.
| Material | Quantity (Approx.) | Primary Use | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Celeststeine | 24+ | Feedback Resonator, Turbine | Near green pools, deep sea vents |
| Toy | 10+ | Bioscanner | Various alien structures, deep biomes |
| Conduit Crystals | 5+ | Feedback Resonator | Along edges of main alien ruins |
| Atakamite | 10+ | Bioscanner | Seafloor near alien ruins |
| Creature Enamel | 3+ | Enameled Glass (for tools) | Harvested from specific fauna |
| Titanium | 60+ (for ingots) | Turbine, general crafting | Wreckages, resource nodes, west of ruins |
Destroying Viral Blooms and Claiming Axum Vision
With your Feedback Resonator crafted, you can now proceed to the Angel Comb near the alien ruins. This structure is affected by viral blooms that prevent access.
Locate the Angel Comb
Navigate to the Angel Comb structure near the main alien ruins. It's often found in areas with signs of eroded stone due to hot radioactive water.
Identify Viral Blooms
Upon entering the area, your PDA will likely warn you about viral blooms, indicating that other microbial life is absent.
Use the Feedback Resonator
Equip your Feedback Resonator and use it to systematically destroy the viral blooms. This process can take around 20 minutes, so manage your oxygen and power carefully.
Collect Axum Vision
Once all blooms are expunged, you can access the core of the Angel Comb. Insert your hand to take a sample and acquire the Axum Vision adaptation.
Congratulations! With Axum Vision, you can now begin to understand the alien language and interact more effectively with their technology.
Repairing the Turbine and Activating Alien Structures
After obtaining Axum Vision, the next critical step towards the ending of Subnautica 2 involves repairing a damaged turbine and activating alien outposts. This will restore power to crucial systems.
Turbine Repair Process
| Step | Action | Required Materials | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Scan Turbine | Locate the damaged turbine and scan it to get blueprints. | None | Reveals required components. |
| 2. Craft Turbine Parts | Fabricate the necessary components for repair. | 20 Titanium Ingots, 10 Mangalite Ingots | Requires 60 Titanium and 10 Mangalite raw materials. |
| 3. Repair Generator | Return to the generator and use the crafted parts to repair it. | Crafted Turbine Parts | Power plant repairs will be completed. |
| 4. Activate Switches | Swim down and activate the switches to start water flow into the turbine. | None | This initiates the power generation. |
| 5. Restart Power Plant | Locate the main controls within the alien base to fully restart the power plant. | None | Power will be restored across the alien structures. |
Large amounts of titanium can be found a few hundred meters west of the alien ruins, often in wreckages or large resource deposits. Make sure to stock up!
Once power is restored, head into the alien outpost, press the switch, and then proceed to the second alien outpost to activate all switches in that room. This will further unlock access and information.
Deciphering the Alien Language and Reaching the Ending
With the alien structures powered up and your Axum Vision active, you are now ready to fully understand the alien language and uncover the game's ultimate secrets.
Understanding the Architects
- Scan the Rosetta Stone: Return to the main alien base and locate the Rosetta Stone. Scanning it will enable you to understand the alien language, revealing glyphs that present messages in two languages, including the Architect symbols known from 4546B.
- Enter the Final Alien Structure: Proceed into the last alien structure. This area, undisturbed for ages, houses a map of the local solar system and nearby stars, including a pulsar matching known databases.
- Uncover the Message: The main message reveals a plea from the Architects: "Architects, we beg your aid. The world trees are dying. Their angels cry out to us. The trees roots feed the world and the world feeds the trees. Each requires other as we require you. But the roots are rotting. The nuclear heart dims. There is hope. Cross the great trench to Xanador. Find the veps. The tre's genes may live in them. Find the ve. Renew this tree. Beware. Crypttors slumber beneath the trees. They fear you. We leave them to your mercy."
- Axum Language Interpretation: The Axum language refers to the Titan-class life form on the horizon as a "world tree." The message further indicates the presence of an alien hibernation crypt below this world tree, designated as "Sanitadu," with its status currently unknown.
Final Steps to the Ending:
- Ensure Axum Vision is active.
- Scan the Rosetta Stone to learn the alien language.
- Activate all switches in both alien outposts.
- Enter the final alien structure and read the Architects' message.
This final revelation sets the stage for future explorations and deepens the lore of Subnautica 2, providing a poignant conclusion to the current preview version of the game.
