Your friendly guide to The Outer Worlds' 'All Halcyon in a Day' quest. Find all the beacons, defeat the beasts, and get your Certified Explorer's Hat!
Alright, so you've picked up the 'All Halcyon in a Day' quest from Alonzo Vallejos in Byzantium. He's super eager for you to join his 'guided tour' of Halcyon, which turns out to be a bit of a scavenger hunt for beacons. Let's get you through it without any fuss!
Walkthrough
- 1Terra 2, Byzantium: First off, head to Prosperity Plaza in Byzantium. Look for a gated-off lawn area southeast of the orrery. The beacon is right there, near the door to 'Rococo's Decor'. Easy peasy start!
- 2Terra 2, Emerald Vale: Now, this one's a bit of a trek. From Edgewater, head northwest on the road, then take the first fork northeast. Keep going past the Abandoned Outpost. The road will curve north, passing the Abandoned Industrial Zone (where you might have met Zoe during 'A Few Kindred Spirits'). Veer northeast into the hills from there. You'll run into a pack of primals, and guess what? Their leader is a big ol' guy named Gigantes. Take him and his buddies down, then snag the beacon.
- 3Scylla: Land on Scylla and head west from the landing pad. The beacon you need is just beyond a retention barrier. Here's the tricky part: you'll have to step out into the vacuum of space to reach it, and it'll damage you pretty fast. Your best bet is to save right at the edge of the barrier, make a quick dash for the beacon, and then sprint back to safety. Be quick about it!
- 4Monarch: For the final beacon, travel to Stellar Bay on Monarch. Exit through the southeastern gate and cross the bridge. Follow the edge of the big chasm to your west, then southwest. You'll find an old marauder camp that's now crawling with canids, including a nasty Mega Canid. Clear them out, and the beacon should be hiding behind some mushrooms near a stone slab.
- 5Return to Alonzo: Once you've activated all the beacons, head back to Byzantium and find Alonzo. He'll be eager to hear about your 'adventure'.
Tips
- Alonzo isn't exactly upfront about the tour's real purpose – he's basically using it to entertain Byzantium crowds by sending people on dangerous scavenger hunts. You proved him wrong, though!
- Don't forget to save before attempting the Scylla beacon; that vacuum damage can be brutal if you're not prepared.
- Upon returning to Alonzo, you'll receive the Certified Explorer’s Hat. This stylish headwear gives you a +1 bonus to Perception, which is always handy!
