Gear Crates
Gear Crate 1 (Farm on West Alkirk)
The gear crate is located in the bedroom within the house on the farm west of Alkirk.
Gear Crate 2 (Store Rooftop)
This gear crate can be located on the roof of the middle store, one of three in the town centre south of the highway. To reach the crate, use the height of the rocks behind you to glide to the buildings or you can jump onto the rooftop with your double jump ability.
Gear Crate 3 (Building Rooftop)
This gear crate is located on the top of the farthest building from the three buildings on the north side of the roadway in the heart of Alkirk. You can reach it by climbing atop a building near the centre of town and jumping from roof to roof.
Weapon Crates
The weapon box may be found on the roof of the store close to the Rift Anchor, northwest of Alkirk. A ladder can be seen on the west side of the structure.
Mystical Crate
It’s located on top of Panorama Supermarket. To reach the rooftop, you can glide over from the cliff behind the building. Be careful of the Star Walker (a huge floating jellyfish-like monster) floating around it.
Regional Records of Alkirk
Excerpt from Rediscovered
by Denise Cooper
Alkirk must have been a bustling little town at one point. Its fate was sealed the day that Monolith rose from the ground. I can almost imagine the blue and purple Stardust spilling out from the Monolith on the day of the Starfall. The town, swallowed up by wave after wave… Most of Alkirk’s residents would have simply perished in their sleep.
…Our previous records are wrong. Upon entering the town, we discovered that the plague of Stardust had been tormenting Alkirk’s residents even BEFORE the Starfall. The residents had seen the early warning signs. They didn’t understand them, but they were scared, that much was clear. Rosetta had the town by the neck by the time they built their Monolith. It seems that the townsfolk were forbidden from telling the outside world about the Monolith, or any of the Deviations they were starting to experience.
That was all 10 years ago, and the Stardust has mostly dissipated now, but the inhabitants of Alkirk have been irrevocably transformed. We had to wipe out some of these ‘inhabitants’ when we first arrived, for the safety of the camp. Our expedition party is a highly experienced, highly skilled bunch, and yet, picking off a few of the roaming Deviants who came too close to our camp was the best we could manage. We prevented a full-scale onslaught, but the place remains infested with Deviants.
We’ve just set out from Blackfell. We haven’t encountered any survivors so far, but this is absolutely to be expected. As I keep telling my troops – no reason to be discouraged. None at all… We’re heading south right now. I refuse to believe that humanity has been completely swallowed up by Stardust here.
There must be someone out here, still clinging to life.
