Rescue Pope, then sever the Hedron Link

The Hedron Link

Oldest House → Unknown · Main story #9

Rescue Pope at the Oldest House, climb the Main Test Chamber, enter the Unknown through the Patterned TV and defeat Hedron Parallel. Then take the elevator back and report to Pope to finish the quest.

  • Hedron enemies resist Raw damage
  • Boss encounter ahead
Current stepPhase 1 of 3

Three official objectives, and each one plays completely differently. Track the phase you are in.

New combat rule

Hedron enemies resist Raw damage.

Do not rely only on your basic Strike attack. Swap to non-Raw options before you assume your build is too weak.

Exact resistance values are not shown until production combat data is confirmed.

First Hedron encounter

You meet Hedron enemies while returning through Prime Candidate Testing. If your shots suddenly feel weak, this is the reason, not your level.

Damage type, synergy and builds live elsewhere

Phase navigator

The journal lists three objectives. The page keeps that shape and only expands route and combat inside each phase.

Uratuj Pope

Wróć przez Prime Candidate Testing, oczyść pierwsze starcie z Hedron i dotrzyj do Pope.

Prime Candidate Testing i schron przy Main Test Chamber

If you are stuck

Jeśli po walce cel się nie zmienia, użyj interkomu i dokończ rozmowę z Pope.

Where is Pope?

Return through Prime Candidate Testing, clear the Hedron enemies, reach the shelter by the Main Test Chamber and use the intercom to speak to Pope.

Enemies dead but the objective won't change

The fight alone does not advance the quest. Use the shelter intercom near the Main Test Chamber, then speak to Pope once the shelter opens. Only the conversation changes the objective.

Pokonanie bossa to nie koniec. Zadanie kończy się dopiero po dokończeniu rozmowy z Pope.

Boss dead but the quest is still active

You are not done yet. Severing the Link only changes the objective. Turn around, take the elevator back to the Oldest House and finish the conversation with Pope.

Main Test Chamber

Wejdź po bocznych ścianach i ruchomym filarze, a na górze wyjdź w bok. Nie schodź po lustrzanej ścianie.

Am I going in circles?

Either wall works. The mistake is climbing up one side and then descending the mirrored wall, which feels like progress but takes you back down.

Look for

The prison-cell gate route near the upper end of the moving pillar. Leave sideways there instead of continuing around.

Climb the moving pillar
Schematic of the rule, not a live readout.
Prison-cell gatesLeave sideways hereLeft wallRight wallMoving pillarStart

Zewnętrzna wieża

Popękana architektura i duże wyrwy. Ciągle idź w górę i korzystaj z poruszania po ścianach i platformach; nie szukaj jednej właściwej platformy.

RuleKeep moving upward

Korytarz grawitacyjny

Grawitacja ciągle się odwraca, więc góra, dół, podłoga i sufit tracą znaczenie. Jedyną wskazówką kierunku jest czerwony dywan.

Ignore

Up and down

Follow

The red carpet

This is a colour-trail route. The red carpet stays continuous even when the room rotates.

Unknown

Pierwsze wejście do Unknown w głównym wątku. Wejdź w interakcję z Patterned TV, aby otworzyć przestrzeń Hedron Link.

First visit
Patterned TV

Interact with the Patterned TV to enter the Hedron Link space. It behaves like the Fault transitions you have used before.

Hedron Link space

A crystallized, Fault-like path that leads to Hedron Parallel. Route plus light combat; the boss is at the end.

Unknown map unlock

Check the area for the map unlock before you continue. What the unlock item is and whether it is permanent is still being verified.

Hedron Parallel

Hedron Parallel

Skrystalizowana trasa w stylu Fault prowadząca do Hedron Parallel. Po drodze przemieszczanie i lekka walka, boss na końcu.

Hedron Parallel is named here as the boss of this mission. Its canonical boss page is still gated until the Hedron family graph is resolved.

Boss quick solver
  1. 1Ciągle przemieszczaj się między platformami
  2. 2Unikaj obracających się i naprowadzanych ataków
  3. 3Oczyść otaczających wrogów
  4. 4Atakuj odsłonięte złote węzły i ciało
  5. 5Używaj obrażeń innych niż Raw
Why am I doing almost no damage?

If you are mainly using basic Raw attacks, that is the reason. Hedron enemies resist Raw damage, so switch to secondary attacks, Fire, Mold or Hedron abilities instead of assuming your level is too low.

Non-Raw options at this point

Only useful if you already unlocked them. The quest page does not recommend an ability you cannot have yet.

What this page covers

This page only covers how to beat Hedron Parallel inside this mission. Full mechanics, resistances and later variants belong to the boss entity.
