9. Digestive/Heat Adaptation, Rebreather & Power Battery Terminal

Bloom Infestation Nodes

This page covers 3 bloom infestations (2 child nodes, 1 mother node). The mother node has an Angel Comb. Clear child nodes first, or the mother node regenerates. Use the Scanner Station filter for Bloom Infestation — three spheres appear for the three nodes.

Heading to Wangde’s Black Box

Get the signal from the lifepod NoA. Prepare supplies (Medkits, Air Bladder, plenty of Decoy Flares). Head SW 240 about 250m from the lifepod. Swim on the surface first, then dive.

Dive at ~120m from the marker. Find a ruin — pick up a Medkit, scan the Beacon.

Image: /images/walkthrough/05_20260514_qy_372_1_image119.jpg

Continue toward the marker, passing a current. There’s another ruin slightly east of the marker. Scan two Dive Elevators (one on the ground, another deeper on wreckage). Also a Beacon and a box with a Nutrient Block. Follow the arrow toward Wangde’s Black Box.

Spider Ball Area

Follow the signal to a Spider Ball. Two nearby platforms with Nutrient Blocks and data downloads. Watch for sharks — prepare flares. Switch to the Sonic Resonator and enter the cave.

Clearing with Sonic Resonator

The entrance is blocked by a bloom virus web. Use the Sonic Resonator: hold right-click near a blue-glowing cyst, release when the crosshair turns green. Clear the web to enter.

Watch for bloom parasites inside — bring Medkits.

Clearing Bloom Ulcers

Inside, follow each tentacle and clear all blue-glowing bloom ulcers. Same method: hold right-click, release when crosshair turns green.

Bloom parasites near ulcers will charge at you. Get close and use the Sonic Resonator on them too.

Image: /images/walkthrough/05_20260514_qy_372_1_image125.jpg

After clearing all ulcers, the area ecology recovers. Sharks may return later — keep flares ready.

Getting Wangde’s Black Box

Stand at the recovering Angel Comb sapling (scan it). Look SE 150-165. Pick up Black Box - Wangde.

On the stone pillar next to it, there’s a bloom ulcer on top — destroy it with the Sonic Resonator for an oxygen pocket. Many similar pillars work the same way.

Image: /images/walkthrough/05_20260514_qy_372_1_image127.jpg

This node connects to the nearby giant Angel Comb. Multiple nodes need clearing. If low on supplies, return to base. You can also visit Anita’s Black Box location’s Angel Comb and interact with the top node for Digestive Adaptation.

Exit Path & Wreckage

After clearing Wangde’s area, leave through the north cave exit.

Image: /images/walkthrough/05_20260514_qy_372_1_image129.jpg

On the left outside, spot a stone pillar. Destroy the bloom ulcer on top for oxygen. Swim up from the pillar to reach an upper layer with wreckage.

Scan Dive Elevator in front of the wreckage entrance. Break bloom virus at the entrance to enter.

Image: /images/walkthrough/05_20260514_qy_372_1_image132.jpg

Inside: scan Battery Terminal on the right wall, New Life Poster on the front wall, Repair Tool 2/3 under a toppled table.

Angel Comb Mother Node

Return to the stone pillar. Follow the tentacle to the second Angel Comb — this is the mother node. Connected to Wangde’s child node and another. The mother node regenerates until all child nodes are cleared. Leave this for now and exit through another cave.

Image: /images/walkthrough/05_20260514_qy_372_1_image134.jpg

Follow the tentacle. Cut Rotting Jellyfish Cysts above globe creatures with the Survival Tool (needed later).

Image: /images/walkthrough/05_20260514_qy_372_1_image135.jpg

Continue along the tentacle and clear bloom infestation (Child Node 2).

Image: /images/walkthrough/05_20260514_qy_372_1_image136.jpg

Getting Heat Adaptation

After clearing all child nodes, return to the Angel Comb mother node (signal marked). Clear all bloom infestations and interact with the purple center to gain Heat Adaptation.

If you can’t interact, wait for the Angel Comb to recover (go back to base and return).

Rebreather & Power Battery Terminal

Prepare 2 Air Bladders (minimum), Scanner, Sonic Resonator, standard supplies. Go to Child Node 2’s location — a large metal wreckage with corridors. Refill oxygen fully before entering. At the end, scan Rebreather and Power Battery Terminal. Use Air Bladders if oxygen runs low.

Break the bloom virus on the wreckage side to enter.

Image: /images/walkthrough/05_20260514_qy_372_1_image138.jpg

Inside, there’s only one path. Look up/down if no horizontal path. At the end corridor, enter the left door.

Image: /images/walkthrough/05_20260514_qy_372_1_image139.jpg

Scan Power Battery Terminal on the wall, then enter the floor hole.

Image: /images/walkthrough/05_20260514_qy_372_1_image140.jpg

Scan Rebreather in the box in the lower room. Return the same way.

Image: /images/walkthrough/05_20260514_qy_372_1_image141.jpg

Crafting the Rebreather

The Rebreather needs Strong Acid — made in the Processor with Rotting Jellyfish Cysts×2. Open the Processor, change recipe to Strong Acid, load and start.

Find Rotting Jellyfish Cysts via the Scanner Station — nearest location is near the Heat Adaptation Angel Comb.

Image: /images/walkthrough/05_20260514_qy_372_1_image142.jpg

Craft the Rebreather at the Fabricator with all materials ready.
