Unsurprisingly, it is at the top of another butte. With all 3 scans completed, the location of the equipment that Group 15 misplaced will be added to your map. Stick around for sunrise if you can although, if you do, you may not want to leave Recover the Lost Equipment (Remember this tactic for when you want to scan for exotics, perhaps at the end of this expedition.) While you wait, take a look around at some of the incredible desert views due to the height, distance, and lighting effects. No predators will attack, and the scan only takes about 40 seconds to complete. Place the Radar in the hologram and activate it. Place ladders on them so they are not destroyed by passing predators. There are several terraces cut into the side of this butte. Find a suitable staircase of terraces in the side of the butte to help you ascend and break your fall, if needed. Bring 10 Wood Ladders to help scale the side to reach the hologram. Once you arrive at the scan location in E6, you will find a tall butte, and the hologram is on the top of it.
WATERFALL EXPEDITION ICARUS HOW TO
The last scan is an example of how to use the Desert high ground to perform scans without the risk of predators (just like in the RICOCHET expedition). If you are heading immediately for the Dry Ridge Region, this is a great shortcut to take. As an optional objective, the northwestern entrance to the transition cave in C4 is marked on your map. When the scan is finished, repair the Radar, pick it up, and head off to your next scan. Fall back and let the radar take a few hits while you heal up. Keep an eye on your health and watch out for Wound ailments if you start taking hits. Arctic wolves and snow leopards have low health, so a single crit from a good bow and arrow will drop each of them. If you move into the path of an oncoming predator, it will be less likely to break to the side, and it will be easier to line up a critical hit. However, the detection radius of Arctic predators is larger, so this fight will require longer-range accuracy. Due to the placement of the Radar on the terrace, the directions predators can attack from are limited. Any meandering wolves in your vicinity also may be drawn into the fight. You will have to defend the radar again for 4 minutes while wolves and snow leopards are spawned in to attack you. Find the hologram, place the Radar in it, and activate it. Next, head north to the Arctic scan location in B3. By skinning all of the boars, you can harvest more than 100 Raw Bacon, which will take care of two of your food buffs for the duration of the prospect.

With a Campfire, Cooking Station and a Potbelly Stove, you can craft Cooked Bacon and Crispy Bacon, two of the best recipes available. After 4 minutes, the scan will be complete, and you can repair and pick up the radar. If you start to take damage or get a Wound, back up and let the radar take a couple hits while you tend to yourself. Depending on your weapon, it may take more than 2 critical hits to take each of them down.

High-level boars have a lot of health points and enter this fight fully aggroed.

Did anyone order a hundred strips of bacon… delivered? Keep an eye out for any wolves or bears nearby that may want to join the fray. Due to the position on the terrace, the number of attack directions for the predators is limited.

Once activated, you will be attacked by jaguars and boars from a few directions. Find the hologram in the forest clearing and place the Radar in it. Once you pick up the Radar, three scan locations will be marked on your map. Pick up and bring the Radar from the Dropship, if you have not already. Placing light sources on slanted roofs will spread the light evenly and efficiently over a wide area. A lack of space can really slow a mission. You can make do with Fur Armor for the entire mission, if desired, by replacing the chestpiece with one from the Cloth, Hunter, or Sandworm armor sets whenever you are in the Desert biome. If you bring all-weather armor like the Naneo Armor, consider storing it and using Fur Armor, instead, until your base is set up. This mission takes place in all three biomes: Forest, Desert, and Arctic.
