With A View
Have you ever noticed those streaks of light darting across the skies? I've seen too much to believe they're natural, but it'll take more than a hunch to convince Celeste.
Key Takeaways
- Given by Shani and takes place in Stella Montis.
- Includes 5 objectives focused on delivery, interaction.
- Rewards 3 items upon completion.
- Part of a multi-step quest chain from Shani. 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
Terminal activation objectives are typically found near landmark structures. Look for the glowing interaction prompt. Some terminals may require clearing a small area of ARC units before they become interactive.
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.
With multiple objectives spread across the map, consider tackling them over two or more raids rather than rushing through everything at once. Prioritize objectives that are close together.
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
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.
Noisemakers or Decoys
Interaction objectives force you to stand still for several seconds. Distracting nearby ARC patrols with noisemakers buys you time to complete interactions without getting interrupted.
Zipline
Ziplines speed up navigation between objectives spread across the map. Place them on high points to create shortcuts for return trips.
Step-by-Step Completion Guide
Follow these steps to complete all objectives for With A View. Each step includes contextual advice based on the objective type.
Obtain a Rotary Encoder
Collect the specified items from the environment or from defeated enemies. These spawns may be randomized, so check multiple locations within the objective zone.
Visit any of the Control Rooms near the Assembly Line
Follow the quest marker and interact with the highlighted element. Stay alert for ARC patrols in the area and clear them if they interfere with the objective.
Use the Rotary Encoder to activate the server switch
Find the terminal or control panel marked by your quest indicator. Interact with it to activate. Some terminals require you to clear ARC units in the immediate area before they become usable.
Interact with a nearby computer to help identify the correct parts
Follow the quest marker and interact with the highlighted element. Stay alert for ARC patrols in the area and clear them if they interfere with the objective.
Deliver an Ion Sputter to Shani
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: Stella Montis
A mountainous industrial complex divided into upper and lower sections. Mining operations, processing facilities, and research labs are scattered across steep terrain. The altitude changes and narrow pathways make this one of the more vertically oriented maps.
Plan your route carefully. Moving between upper and lower sections takes time, and you'll be exposed on the connecting paths. The industrial facilities provide good loot but attract heavy ARC presence.
