Echoes of Victory Ridge
Did you feel any tremors last night? Me neither. But apparently the ground shifted at some point, and in the process it unearthed an old First Wave outpost that'd been blocked by debris. I'd like you to get in there quick, before anyone else does.
Key Takeaways
- Given by Celeste and takes place in Dam Battlegrounds.
- Includes 3 objectives focused on exploration, delivery.
- Rewards 3 items upon completion.
- Part of a multi-step quest chain from Celeste. Both a prerequisite quest and follow-up quests exist.
Objectives
All objectives carry over between raids. You do not need to complete everything in a single run.
Walkthrough Tips
Search objectives have specific interaction zones you need to reach. Use your compass marker to navigate to the general area, then look for the highlighted interaction point. Some search areas may have multiple valid spots.
Delivery objectives require you to carry items to a destination. Dying while carrying quest items won't lose them permanently, but you'll need to retrieve them from the quest giver again.
This quest is part of a chain. Completing the previous quest(s) in the series is required before this one becomes available from the trader.
Recommended Loadout
Light Weapon (Pistol or SMG)
Exploration quests have less direct combat but you still need something for self-defense. A lightweight weapon keeps your mobility high.
Healing Items (Bandages or Medkits)
Delivery runs mean traveling across the map while carrying quest items. Healing supplies keep you alive during the long trek without needing to divert for supplies.
Zipline
Ziplines speed up navigation between objectives spread across the map. Place them on high points to create shortcuts for return trips.

Retrieve the battle plans from the hideout under the broken highway

Deliver Major Alva's Patch to Celeste
You need to carry the specified item back to the trader. The quest item will be in your inventory. Head to Speranza and interact with the trader to hand it over. If you die during transit, the quest item returns to the quest giver for re-collection.
Map: Dam Battlegrounds
A massive hydroelectric dam complex and surrounding military installations. The dam structure itself creates dramatic elevation differences, with control rooms, staff areas, and maintenance tunnels providing interior objectives. ARC concentration is high, and the open dam top is a kill zone.
Stick to interior routes when possible. The dam top offers no cover from aerial threats. Staff rooms and control towers often require keys, so check surrounding areas for key spawns before heading to locked objectives.
