Serpent Canyon is an optional mission in Episode 4.
Mission Summary[]
According to Tenrete, a huge starship crashed a few months ago near the Serpent Canal in Vledas, one of the Ringworld's continents. Mikko Sandt, seeing lots of salvaging opportunities not only for the AMC Squad, but for MS Corp as well, travels to this region.
Note: This is an optional mission, and is not required for completing the episode.
Gameplay[]
Serpent Canal[]
You'll be starting in a stream of water. From here go across the canal, and enter the ruined building on the rocky walls (not the serpent building yet). Jump down into the water, swim and pick up the blue scarab key. Then head back to the canyon, and enter the serpent looking building, and use the scarab key. Go inside, then jump onto the broken ledge. Find the water tunnels, and look for a room with a spinning column in the middle. Admire the crashed starship in the distance, grab the red scarab key, then face Selkis. Exit the building and go right. Dive underwater near the building and use the scarab key. Watch out for the ghost jumpscare. Continue through the canyon, facing some Reptiloids and another Selkis. Eventually you'll find the EDF Panama.
The EDF Panama[]
Go though the canyon, jump onto the cliff side, then enter a big hole. Then get into the crashed EDF Panama starship. Enter the green hallway across the room from where you enter. When in the blue room deal with terminators and turrets and go into the hole on the right. Follow the tunnel until you're outside. Dispose of several Sentry Bots (near a dead body nearby there is a Nailgun if you need something armour-piercing), then enter the cafeteria part of the Panama and grab the red keycard. Backtrack to either the blue room, or the other green hallway to use the red keycard. Enter the crew quarters, and jump down the hole. Head down the path until you find a VR station. Enter it, and use it to unlock the elevator. But beware of the Virus that lurks inside of it. When you exit, grab the Jetpack. Another Sentry Bot will destroy the wall, blow it up. Get back to the blue room, and take the elevator. Then go up the ramp. Follow the path, then you'll enter a cave which will lead you outside. Go around the Panama until you find a cave. Enter the ship from inside the caves and find a block of C-4. Head back into the cave and use the C-4 to blow up the wall. Follow the path through the caves and back into the Panama. At the end, you'll find some surviving EDF personnel. Talk to the guy in the back and he'll let you into the armory. Grab the supplies, including the blue keycard. Then order EDF soldiers to follow you and use this keycard to go into the bot control room. Fight your way through the robots to the VR station, and prepare for that Virus again.
When you enter the system, go around back to flip the switch. Then run across to the other side, and flip the switch there. Then make your way back to flip yet another switch. Then locate the yellow beam, run across it, then wait for the Virus to get near the beam. Once it's close, flip the switch and trap it. Then make your way around and flip the switch to finally crush the Virus. Now all the robots will stop attacking you. Make your way through the hallways to meet up with Bombshell.
