Follow this guide to complete Part 56 of Prey (2017), including scanning coral in the Talos I Exterior, interacting with Mikhaila and Dr. Igwe, and navigating the Cargo Bay and G.U.T.S.
Well... since he's going to ultimately give us the choice and isn't going to fight us, I suppose we can go along with this. Even January will agree that this is likely the easiest way to get his arming key.
Grab the [O] CORAL DETECTOR 64SI that pops out of the desk and equip it. This will let us scan and see the coral we need:
- OBJECTIVE: Scan the Coral in the Exterior (Talos I Exterior)
Good. We're ready to continue now. Head back to main left and go back to the Talos I Lobby.
Talos I Lobby
Go back to your office now and talk to Mikhaila Ilyushin. She'll have been waiting on us to listen to the record we found. This isn't going to be good, but it will net us a trophy at least:
- NOTE: You will get the "Self-Incriminating" Silver Trophy here for showing Mikhaila the truth about what you did...
Yeah, she is beyond pissed at us and Dr. Igwe will likely have some dialog with her as well (January may have some dialog as well). We'll have completed the "Mikhaila's Father" side quest though! Nice!
Once your done with that, go give the item to Igwe for another trophy (and to complete his "Gustav Leitner" side quest. This gets us another trophy! We're racking them up here!
- NOTE: You will get the "Gift to the World" Silver Trophy here for giving Dr. Igwe Gustav Leitner's Connectome. Very nice!
We need to head to the Cargo Bay now and return the ring we found. We can knock out two birds with one stone though and head there through the Talos I Exterior and do what Alex wanted (I recommend taking along a lot of pistol ammo for the Exterior section).
Head to the Hardware Lab and use the Air Lock there to get to the Exterior of the ship easily. Since you were just there, it should be pretty easy to do. Let's pick up outside!
Talos I Exterior
This is a bit weird, but pretty fun. Head to the "Coral Node" location. The nearby one from Hardware Labs is north, by a small hole guarded by a Weaver, so be ready to kill him off (I used a pistol and it ran away when it got low on health) and enter the small hole.
Go straight inside here (there's a path to the right you can note) and kill off an Operator and Weaver (try to hang back and kill them), than another pair of Operator and Weaver up ahead. This thing is well guarded!
When you've killed those four enemies, head inwards and scan the Coral Node (Coral Node 1/2). The next one is nearby though, so we don't have to go far. Go straight (note the hole in the wall) and then look to the right for a Cystoid Nest. Take it out (and wipe out the cysts) and just past it is a second Coral Node (Coral Node 2/2).
Once you've scanned this one, you'll see a vision and then we'll have our objective updated:
- OBJECTIVE: Upload the scan data with Alex's terminal (Arboretum)
Head to the Cargo Bay area now and be careful of any enemies hanging about the area (I fought a Technopath in the outside area). I also found the body of "Jessica Wiley" out here. Not sure if I just missed her before, or... well, you should loot her for some FRAYED WIRE, SPARE PARTS, GLUCASSIST!, KINESTHETIC ASSISTER CRUx1 and a WRENCH.
Head into the Cargo Bay when you are done.
Cargo Bay
The enemies in here should be fairly suppressed. Well, to be fair, I left 3-4 turrets out in the first area and that cargo hold area should still have 4 more turrets guarding it.
Go ahead and give Kevin Hague the ring you found. With this you'll finish the "With This Ring..." side quest. We're slowly finishing them all! We can start another one though, one we've had for awhile. Let's do this one next!
The Blackbox Project
Use nearby security computer in Sarah's room to look for Josh Dalton in the G.U.T.S. system. We've explored a bit of it already, but there's still a section of it we need to get to, and being in the Cargo Bay is the PERFECT place to do this from (It's almost like we're following a coherent guide or something... er, yeah, this is all planned!).
Once you've got the "Personnel Tracker" going, head down to the cargo room down below and go to the last room. There is a way to get to "GUTS" from here. Wind around to the Zero-G area and enter.
Now, do a 180 degree turn, head up, and look for maintenance hatch above you. You can follow this to the "GUTS" area, grabbing a SUIT REPAIR KIT on the way.
G.U.T.S.
We've never been to THIS part of the GUTS, and we've even got an objective on our side! This area has no enemies, but there's a storage area to your right. It's locked up. There's a trick for getting this open: pull out your Huntress Bow and go past the gate, taking its corner to see an opening. Twist your camera around and shoot the button to open the storage area.
This lets you get the PSI HYPO x2 in here. The walls have six safes as well. Loot them for 9MM BULLETS x7, Q-BEAM CELLS x90, FRAYED WIRE, RECYCLER CHARGE, EMP CHARGE, SPARE PARTS, GLOO CANISTER and some FLEXIFOAM BOLTS x3.
Exit now to fight some Operators and a Technopath. Take them out and explore a bit below. "Edward Douglas' Corpse" is down here. He has a BURNT CIRCUIT BOARD and SPARE PARTS. There's another SPARE PARTS past him and a PC about Cargo Processing here. We can activate it to restart it? Huh, don't see why we need to though... It has an email though:
- EMAIL 157: ARE YOU READY?
There's also something that requires "Hacking IV" nearby (I'll level with you guys, no idea where, but it should be nearby... that's what I get for taking quick notes and not playing for a few days). Inside it should have Q-BEAM CELLS x200, Q-BEAM FABRICATION PLAN, EMP CHARGE x3 and some RECYCLER CHARGE x3.
