In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to complete the side quest ‘An Aegis Against the Miasma’ in The Outer Worlds 2.
Starting Location
To start this quest, make your way to the Euphoria Coast Automech Repair Centre, where you’ll find Marshal Donelson. Speak with him and offer your assistance in resolving the zyranium gas problem affecting the area.
Donelson will then direct you to Chief Deviser Delphinia Bryant, who’s conducting an important experiment related to the issue. Approach Bryant and offer to help with her research to start the quest.
Collect Zyranium Gas for Delphinia
As the quest starts, 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.
