Synefe HR-H d11-102 (Guardian ruins)

[Tired]

I followed the entry in Codex for Guardians (section regarding Human-Guardian contact) and went to the above mentioned system, which was mentioned in the codex.

I found few obelix that I scanned and few items, like Guardian orb and Guardian relic. I picked two of them and brought them back to the ship

Is there anything I can do with them except selling them (they got low price) or have I jumped ahead of a quest line or something like that? I know of guardian modifications of your ship of course but I havent gone after them since I barely unlocked few of the engineers.

Those items, in specific combinations, are needed to fully interact with the "active obelisks" (the ones with the blue panels showing 1 or 2 of 6 symbols representing guardian items: totem, orb, casket, urn, relic, and tablet). Having the items showing on a particular activated obelisks in your SRV hold are needed to complete parts of the guardian missions. I'm doing the first Ram Tah Guardian mission out of Meene right now which requires visiting numerous guardian ruin sites and using these items to unlock 100+ data points of guardian history/lore to complete the mission. The items are also used to unlock guard component blueprints but I am not that far in...yet. Hope that helps a little without too much spoilage (take a look a look at the stickied guardian thread above for further details).

Given the current incursion I should probably also add that Thargoids will attack you if you have any Guardian items in your inventory when they pull you from hyperspace so if you get pulled while carrying any drop the items immediately or the bugs will attack you once they scan your ship.

o7 Fly safe commander.

In addition the unlocks are from Guardian Tech Brokers, not Engineers but you'll need a fair amount (which you can get doing Ram Tah's missions)

The artifacts you can sell. Perhaps not directly in the neighbouring systems (like New Hope), as these offer pennies only.

The engineers (nor their unlocking) aren't required for the guardian equipment.
You go to a tech broker (look under contacts in the stations). There are two kinds, human and guardian.

These TB require certain numbers of normal goods (like neofrabric baffles) but also some of these (5 kind of) codes you got.
You will need to visit a different kind of guardian ruin, even some guardian beacons in space.
Good hunting.


Look for these power pylons. If you treat them right, the data node opens.


Same applies for the beacons.
