Alien Planet The Alters Map
The Alters: How to avoid anomalies and neutralize them?
Anomalies are a threat to Jan and are related to The Strange Phenomenon quest from the game The Alters. Our guide describes how to avoid with anomalies, how to produce a luminator, how to detect and neutralize anomalies, and how to create a shield against anomalies.
Last update:
The Strange Phenomena quest is tied to anomalies discovered on the alien planet in The Alters. On this page of the guide we've covered all you need to know about anomalies - how to identify anomalies and how to destroy them, what are the main types of anomalies, how to use the luminator, what can you use ALX for, where to find the Interal Vein Core and how to get the anomaly shield.
- What are the main types of anomalies?
- How to create the luminator and where is the Interal Vein Core?
- How to expose and destroy anomalies?
- How to unlock the anomaly shield?
What are the main types of anomalies?
- You will start encountering anomalies in Act 1. Getting in with one for the first time will unlock the task Strange Phenomena - you can discuss it with Jan the Scientist.
- There are two main types of anomalies. Static anomalies are immobile which can make avoiding them easier. You should walk around them instead of sprinting for more precise movement.
- Following anomalies are more problematic as they can move towards Jan if you get close enough. The solution is to sprint away, but be careful not to come into with any static anomaly while running.
Do not extract resources from shallow deposits near following anomalies, as they might reach you in the meantime. We recommend getting rid of them first.
- Every with an anomaly means receiving a dose of radiation. In some cases, you may be forced to return to your base and get rid of the radiation. We described this in more detail on the page How to avoid radiation?.
How to create the luminator and where is the Interal Vein Core?
- The Strange Phenomena quest will task you with reaching the Interal Vein Core - we've attached a picture showing its location. Inspect it before returning to the base and talking to Jan the Scientist.
The next two steps are:
- Completing the research project Interal Analysis Tool- you should prioritize it.
- Crafting the Luminator at the workshop - this gadget will help you detect and get rid of anomalies. You can craft it using 20 metals and 20 rapidium.
- After doing so, return to the Interal Vein Core and select it from the drop-down menu. You have to activate it now (fire button) which will consume some of the suit's energy.
- After that, a trail will appear. Follow it. Keep the luminator in your hand so you don't lose it. You will reach the Interal Vein Core pictured above. Use the luminator again. After destroying the core, you will be able to take planetary samples. It allows you to unlock new research (one-time use only).
How to expose and destroy anomalies?
- You can also use the luminator on "ordinary" anomalies. While holding it locate the core inside the anomaly and shoot it with the energy beam.
- Destroying the anomaly gives you AUX. It will be important after you finish the ALX-Organics Conversion research project. It will allow you to use ALX in the refinery to transmute it into common organics.
How to unlock the anomaly shield?
- Obtaining planetary samples gives you access to a new research project: Anomaly Shield. It's worth completing as soon as possible, as it increases Jan's resistance to anomalies.
