Starting Location:
During The Saboteur of Paradise main quest, you’ll get the chance to gain extra support for infiltrating the Vox Relay. Head to the Town Hall in Fairfield on Paradise Island, where Minister Milverstreet and Officer Kaur are arguing. Talk to both of them and choose to side with Officer Kaur to begin her side quest.
Note: Accepting this quest will lock you out of Minister Milverstreet’s questline, so choose carefully.
Gain Entry to the Automech Repair Center
Officer Kaur asks you to sabotage the Protectorate’s Automech Repair Facility. You can fight your way in, use skill checks, or enter with an access card. This guide shows the entry using the access card, which can be found at the Ministry of Accuracy west of Fairfield.
Where to find Euphoria Coast Automech Repair Center Access Pass
To enter the Euphoria Coast Automech Repair Center, you’ll first need to get the Access Pass from the Ministry of Accuracy. Refer to the map below for its exact location.
Enter the building through the main door and reunite with NPC Inze. Then go through the only open door.
Once inside, use the ladder on the right side of the room to climb up to the second floor.
Once you’re on the second floor, follow the path to the backside of the room and carefully jump across the gap to reach a nearby terminal.
Interact with the terminal to access its system.
Select the option to print the Euphoria Coast Automech Repair Center Access Pass, which will grant you entry to the Euphoria Coast Automech Repair Center.
Enter Automech Repair Center
After you get the access pass, go to the ARC facility southeast of Fairfield. Talk to the guard at the gate to get inside.
Once you’re inside, find Marshal Donelson. He might be in his office upstairs or talking to the Chief Mechanist outside. Speak with him and agree to help fix the Zyranium gas problem. He will then send you to Dr. Delphinia Bryant, who is working on a gas shield.
An Aegis Against the Miasma Quest
Now, go to Dr. Delphinia Bryant and offer to help with her research, and this will start another quest, “An Aegis Against the Miasma”.
Collect Zyranium Gas for Delphinia
Delphinia Bryant explains that she needs a sample of Zyranium Gas for her research. She’ll hand you a Zyranium Collector, a special device designed to safely gather the gas.
Head to the contaminated building nearby and locate the Zyranium leak along the outer wall. You’ll notice a faint, glowing gas cloud escaping from a pipe or vent. Step carefully into the gas cloud, and when prompted, use the Zyranium Collector to gather the sample.
Obtain a Catalytic Amplifier for Delphinia
Once collected, return to Delphinia with the gas to progress the quest. Delphinia will request you to get a Catalytic Amplifier to complete the experiment.
To get the Catalytic amplifier, go to Marshal Donelson’s office and access his terminal. You can safely use it even if Donelson is nearby. Open the terminal log titled “SUBJECT: Woodrow” and read through the entry to get the required information to convince Woodrow.
With this new intel, go to Woodrow, and he’ll hand over the Catalytic Amplifier.
Report back to Delphinia
With the Catalytic Amplifier, head back to Delphinia. She’ll use the component to finish constructing the Gas-Energy Deflection Apparatus. This ends the quest ‘An Aegis Against the Miasma.‘
Sabotage the Facility
Report back to Marshal Donelson at his office, and he will ask you to sabotage the Facility to fix the Zyranium gas issue. Go to the Zyranium-infested Primary Repair Hangar. Just follow the path along the left wall to reach the Hanger. With the Gas-Energy Deflection Apparatus in your hands, you can now step inside the Primary Repair Hangar. But be cautious with Zyranium gas. The shield from the device won’t stay up for long, so hurry through the area before it fades.
Equip the Gas-Energy Deflection Apparatus and look for a vent located near the center of the room. Crawl inside and make your way through the narrow passage until you reach the other end. As you exit the vent, you’ll enter a new area guarded by security drones.
Once the area is clear, head toward the door that leads into a room filled with Zyranium gas. Remember to activate your shield before entering to avoid damage. Inside, you’ll find a computer terminal of the Zyranium Flow Control System. Interact with the terminal.
Choose the following options
Seal Room & Vent Gas >> Access Flow Control Systems >> Check System Status >> Initiate Zyranium Flow Shutdown >> Query Conduit Locations
Fix the First Leak
To repair the first leak, start by opening the door on the right side and defeating the enemy.
Once the area is clear, climb over the stack of boxes on the east side of the room to reach the upper platform. From there, jump carefully across the broken yellow pipes to reach the ledge with a ladder. Use the ladder to climb up to the second floor.
After reaching the doorway, go through the open door to enter the next room. Turn right, and you’ll notice the first gas leak along the wall. Look for the conduit switch nearby and interact with it to seal the leak, completing this section of the repair.
Fix the Second Leak
The second conduit switch is on the other side of the same room, but the pathway is broken, making it tricky to reach. Equip your Trust Booster and use it to jump across the gap safely. Once you land on the other side, interact with the conduit switch on the wall to seal the second leak.
After fixing the second leak, look for the vent with a ladder nearby on the floor and climb down. Follow the vent’s path, and it will lead you back to the Zyranium Flow Control System room.
When you arrive, access the terminal once again and select “Initiate Zyranium Flow Shutdown” to completely stop the gas leak and stabilize the system.
After successfully sealing the Zyranium leak, return to Marshal Donelson to report your progress. Finally, return to Office Kaur and update the progress to end the quest.
