Your guide to navigating the treacherous waters outside Site Lambda in SOMA. Learn how to sneak past robots, find the airlock, and what to do with the Omnitool.

Alright, you've made it back outside into the ocean. Catherine's waiting for you at Site Lambda, so let's get you there. Don't worry, it's not too bad out here, just gotta keep your wits about you.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, climb up the ladder to get out of the water. Stick to the left side of that big pillar and just keep moving straight ahead. You'll see a bright spotlight up ahead – that's your first landmark. Keep following it.
  2. 2
    You'll eventually hit a 350m marker. Keep going, and you'll enter a shallow canyon. You'll need to go right around a big rock here. Keep an eye out on your left – you'll spot the wreck of a submarine, the Pequod. Just past that, on the right, there's a sign that says '360m to Lambda.' That's your next waypoint.
  3. 3
    Exit the canyon. Now, things get a little dicey. There's a hostile robot in the next area, and you'll start to experience those weird glitches again. This robot is attracted to what they call the 'black blood of the WAU,' so you'll want to avoid its attention.
  4. 4
    Crouch down and sneak past the robot. Head towards another bright spotlight you'll see. Look for a row of four small lights nearby. You can actually climb up the coral on the right side of these lights to get a peek inside Lambda.
  5. 5
    Head to the left from there. You should find the pressurized doors leading to the Lambda airlock.
  6. 6
    Before you go in, though, check out the escape pod to the left of the Lambda airlock. Open its door and put the Omnitool into the cradle. Uh oh, looks like the proper cortex chip is missing. Grab the Omnitool back and leave the disabled escape pod.
  7. 7
    Now, head to the right of the escape pod. You'll see another spotlight – go towards it. You'll encounter a friendly robot swimming around, which will cause you to glitch again. Don't worry about it, just keep moving.
  8. 8
    Look for a long row of small lights and follow them. They'll lead you to a door. This door needs a different set of security protocols for the Omnitool to open it.
  9. 9
    Head back to the Lambda airlock. Press the button to open the pressurized doors. Once inside, swipe the Omnitool to cycle the airlock. You're in!
Tips
  • When you encounter the hostile robot, don't try to fight it. Just crouch and use the environment to sneak past. The glitches can be disorienting, but keep your focus on getting to the airlock.
  • The escape pod is a bit of a red herring for now. You need the Omnitool, but you can't use it on the pod itself. Just grab it and keep moving towards the main Lambda entrance.
