Just finished Orientation?

Orientation complete. You're leaving the tutorial behind.

Welcome to Manhattan introduces:

  • Zone maps
  • Mapping Pylons
  • Quest tracking
  • Power routing
  • Security clearance
  • Field Offices
  • Open-zone exploration

Manhattan is opening up

From this point onward:

  • Map — becomes part of normal navigation
  • Quest tracking — matters more
  • Field Offices — become important progression hubs
  • Security clearance — opens previously locked areas
  • Zones — begin branching
New player tip: lost?

Track the objective from the map. Your HUD will point toward the active objective.

This page walks you through the systems that change, then the quest route that unlocks them.

Quick answer

Leave the Oldest House, activate the three Mapping Sensors so the Downtown map comes online, find the Maintenance Worker and move the power charge to the Central Checkpoint, clear the Hiss, meet Zoe at the Watchtower, open the Supply Route, and pick up the Level 1 Security Keycard at the FBC Field Office.

Mapping Pylon

Leave the Oldest House and follow the objective to the Mapping Pylon, then activate all three local sensors to bring the Downtown map online.

0 / 3

Find 3 local sensors, interact with each one, watch the light turn from red to green, then return to the central Pylon.

  1. Sensor 1

    Look for

Sensor order and exact positions are still being verified against the route. This page uses landmarks, not coordinates.

Restore the Central Checkpoint

Find the Maintenance Worker, then move the power charge from the source through each relay to the Central Checkpoint.

The exact number of relays is read from live route data, so this page does not hardcode a permanent node count.

Power charge

Active

Destination

Central Checkpoint

Move the charge one receiver at a time. You cannot carry it across the whole route in one run.

My charge disappeared

Return to the last powered relay instead of restarting the entire route.

  • correct receiver
  • active relay
  • route distance

Exact reset behavior is verified against the game before this page states it as fact.

Power the Central Checkpoint

Checkpoint online

Once the charge reaches the Central Checkpoint, the area powers up.

Powering the checkpoint triggers a Hiss ambush. Clear the encounter before you move on.

A stronger named enemy appears here. It is an encounter, not a boss entity.

Meet Zoe at the Watchtower

Central Checkpoint → Watchtower → Zoe

Follow the objective to the Watchtower and meet Zoe. This is a linear story transition.

Clear the Supply Route

Watchtower → Lower Maintenance Level → Tunnel → Subway → Street → Field Office

  1. Watchtower

  2. Lower Maintenance Level

  3. Open the tunnel route

  4. Remove the blockage

  5. Subway

  6. Street exit

  7. Field Office

Every stage uses one landmark. If you can see the next landmark, you are on the route.

Optional nearby

Health Upgrade

Reach the FBC Field Office

The Supply Route ends at the FBC Field Office.

This is the quest's final area. Some guides also report a Fast Travel door and a Mapping Pylon here.

Field Office is queued for a possible location page. Until that page exists, it stays a quest landmark.

Security clearance

Level 1

You can now open doors marked with Level 1 clearance.

Previously locked route nearby? You can return to it now.

  • Level 1 doors — now accessible
  • Level 2 and above — still locked

The Level 1 Keycard is progression state, not just an inventory item. A Security Clearance system page is queued.

Stuck on Welcome to Manhattan?

What's happening?

Why can't I continue?

It is usually one of these: a missing sensor, the wrong receiver, a charge that reset, a fight you haven't cleared, or the route landmark you walked past.

  • I can't leave the Oldest House

    Finish the Orientation objectives first. Welcome to Manhattan starts once you leave the Oldest House.

  • A Mapping Sensor is missing

    Three sensors must be active to start the Pylon. Use the sensor tracker above to find the one you missed.

  • The Pylon won't activate

    All three sensors must be active first. Mark each sensor above and check that its light turned green.

  • I can't find the Maintenance Worker

    Track the objective from the map. The Maintenance Worker is on the route toward the Central Checkpoint, not in the Oldest House.

  • My power charge disappeared

    Return to the last powered relay instead of restarting. Check the receiver, the active relay and the route distance.

  • The Central Checkpoint won't power up

    Make sure the charge reached the correct receiver and that the previous relay is active before you assume a bug.

  • I can't find Zoe

    Power the Central Checkpoint and clear the Hiss ambush first. Zoe is at the Watchtower, not the Field Office.

  • I'm lost on the Supply Route

    Follow the landmarks in order: lower level, tunnel, subway, street. If you can see the next landmark, keep going.

  • I can't find the Level 1 Keycard

    The Keycard is inside the FBC Field Office at the end of the Supply Route. Enter the office before looking for a pickup outside.
