How do you blow up the Relic?

Post by JohnPhoenix »

On the Dark Planet when you follow the Major you have to get out and blow up the relic tower thing with a satchel charge. No matter how many times I try or how close I get to it ( you can only get so close and then hit an invisible wall) after backing away a bit and the timer counts down nothing happens. Oh the charge may blow but it never blows up the relic.

Any tips on this?

Don't blow up the Manifold (name of the tower thing, it's part of one of the things that comes out of the ground at the end). Blow up the teleportal instead.

Backstory for this slightly confusing twist coming up.

I think it's supposed to be some kind of a quarry, IIRC the debriefing said something like that.

You have to blow up the ISDF-looking building with the 2 rings. Then run like hell. :D

It did, later indications both canon and pseudocanon suggest otherwise. Might go find evidence later, but not now.

Looks more like a teleportal than a quarry to me anyway. Then again, FE used it as a nuclear fusion generator, so who knows.

Na, just sit near it in your ship. See some nice scenery when the mission ends :)

1. Move to the big weird circle thing.
2. Hop out in the middle.
3. Press C.
4. Get back in your ship or run for your life.
5. ???
6. Profit!

That was a good episode. Still not sure what the point of it all was, though.

To cover up "unofficial" ISDF activities there. Things that were done before the Dark Planet was "officially" discovered, that is.

Thanks folks that worked. I would have never guessed it. The structure doesn't look like a "relic" it looks like an ISDF building of some sort - whereas that tower thing does look like a relic .. very misleading.
If that happens again I'm just gonna blow stuff up at random and see what happens LOL

Interestingly, I always planted my satchel charge right next to the manifold, from where it destroyed the teleportal. I only figured out that we are supposed to destroy the teleportal quite recently.

Also, my calling it a teleportal comes from ODF name and editor listing, since it's function is sketchy at best in BZ2 itself.
