Greeting commanders,
As the title suggests, I completed the mission getting all the scans from 11 systems. A word of warning, I did not note the specific combinations needed to scan all obelisks for the following reason:
After some preparation I set myself out to the region with a 28 system route I got from cannon.science , once I got there I proceeded to kill sentinels and look for the needed obelisk. I found it and got a message just like with the Guardian Ruins mission, this time with audio. I continued scanning the other obelisks, because why not, and noted I started getting increasing bonus rewards, up to 4 million, so 1 log, 4 million reward. I figured, not bad, looks like this one will net me another 100M. Jumped to the next system, again got logs 27 and 14, a million for each one and 5 more million for other random scans. I continued my route and continued getting more "bonus" millions but no more messages. Soon I concluded that the mission was bugged and the random scans netting me credits were the actual ones I needed.
TLDR: Mission bugged, didn't note which obelisks got me a scan, only how many per site.

Cargo
You need to bring corrosive Thargoid tissues with you, you can use several of Palin's racks , but I'd recommend using the class 4 (16t) from the human tech broker, as I'm unsure if the game will auto-organize corrosive cargo into corrosive racks.
The items you will need are:
Additionally once you land in your first site it is HIGHLY recommendable you stock up on artifacts, to avoid having to travel to ruins just to get the right item. Bring with you:
Relics are abundant across sites hence it is not needed that you carry one.
The items you will need are:
- Thargoid Sensor
- Thargoid Link
- Thargoid Probe
- Cyclops Tissue
- Basilisk Tissue
- Medusa Tissue
Additionally once you land in your first site it is HIGHLY recommendable you stock up on artifacts, to avoid having to travel to ruins just to get the right item. Bring with you:
- 1 Urn
- 1 Totem
- 1 Casket
- 2 Orb
- 1 Tablet
Relics are abundant across sites hence it is not needed that you carry one.
Data Terminals
Some sites will have data terminals, scanning these will reward you with Guardian Weapon Segment or Guardian Module Segment. You need these data to unlock guardian weapons and power plant respectively. You will need to approach them to raise the first pylon(s), then look for the rest of the pylons throughout the site, once you've located and raised them all, you need to activate them by shooting the glowing orb, try doing it from a distance in order to get both shots from your repeater in. When all pylons are active jettison a relic in the glowing triangular slot in front of the terminal to activate it. You can only scan the terminal once (if you're in a wing every player gets 1 scan), if you want another segment you will need to reload the instance by logging out and back in, this will reset the enemies and the pylons so you will need to do it over again.
You will probably want to get 4 Guardian Module Segment to unlock the Guardian powerplant and 12 Guardian Weapon Segment to unlock the Guardian fixed weapons (22 if you also want the turret PA).
Guardian Weapon Segment
*Easy to farm, only need to kill 4 sentinels to get the scan, the ones appearing after the scan can be ignored.

Extra Tips
#1 Each system contains one Guardian structure, but the navigation panel will not show it if it's too far away. Do a system scan with an Advanced Discovery Scanner and spin following the parallax (system plane) until you visually spot the Guardian Structure.
#2 Prefer small ships over big ones as Guardian Structures are usually over pretty uneven terrain and finding a landing spot for bigger ships can be difficult.
#3 Bring materials to refuel and restock SRV ammo, at least 5 times.
#4 Panels with lights can be broken when shot, to reveal more guardian materials.
#5 Use LOS breaks to fight sentinels, avoid confronting them in the open.
#6 I used this strategy to get the thargoid samples, takes a while master and a while to execute but it works.
If you've gotten this far, are still awake, and want to do this mission NOW, contact me in game I'll gladly give away the thargoid samples needed.
