Mission Prerequisites

Mission Walkthrough

Meet Hector Birtwhistle (H.B. for short). H.B. is, to put it lightly, a young man who is very, very confident in his skills.

New Affinity Mission: A New Rival?

You are now in competition with a BLADE named H.B. for…some reason.

Objective 1

Complete all three normal missions:

• Installation: Install a data probe on the plains northeast of Primordia’s Sayram Lake.
• Research: Earn 3,000 credits from FrontierNav in a single return.
• Miranium: Give 900 units of miranium to Tauler on Division Drive in the Administrative District.

If you’re reading this, then by now you should know how to install data probes and gain cash and resources from them. However, if you need a refresher course, feel free to turn to the BLADE and Its Benefits section of the Primer and read up.

Objective 2

Talk to H.B. on the BLADE Concourse.

Objective 3

Head to Noctilum’s Rust Lake to rescue the BLADEs.

Objective 4

Defeat a thieving dilus at Noctilum’s Rust Lake.

Be sure no nearby indigens join this fight, and take on the dilus four-on-one. Also, make sure you’re nowhere near the front of its body, so as to avoid its snapping jaws.

Objective 5

Talk to Solan at Noctilum’s Rust Lake.
