“Our fates are written on the fine parchment of time
A never-ending cyclone of conflict and character
We struggle to find times of stillness in the shrine of peace

That we will shape the coming days with our own hands
And the Black Armory will endure forever.”

How to solve the Mysterious Datapad riddle

The Mysterious Datapad accompanies a riddle which will carry you to Niobe Labs. This territory is situated in the southernmost scopes of the EDZ, so set down at the Outskirts and head south past the Sojourner’s Camp over a wrecked scaffold. Be that as it may, before you go to the labs, ensure you have the accompanying Black Armory weapons: the Hammerhead automatic rifle, Spiteful Fang bow, and the Tatara Gaze rifleman rifle. You can get these weapons by opening the initial three Forges, and you’ll require each of the three to shoot the images discovered inside Niobe Labs. You’ll likewise require Izanagi’s Burden or, bombing that, a companion who has it.

When you advance toward the core of Niobe Labs, search for a switch under the focal stage. This will initiate the mission Lost Souvenir, in which you’ll have to shoot seven images organized appropriately with the right weapons.

How to get Forge Essence

Get out the Taken and you’ll move onto the following stage, which requires Forge Essence. To acquire this, you’ll have to finish the Volundr, Gofannon, Izanami, and Bergusia Forges while wearing a full arrangement of Black Armory shield and three Black Armory weapons. You as of now have the weapons, so no concerns there, and in case you’re feeling the loss of some protection, get some Forge Polymers from Ada-1 for six Black Armory Schematics and 10 Legendary Shards each. These assurance protective layer drops on effective Forge consummations and will accelerate your covering grind impressively – however you’ll actually be helpless before RNG.

When you’re appropriately equipped, granulate out every one of the four Forges to acquire the Obsidian Dreams symbol and one Obsidian Accelerator. You can exchange this with Ada-1 for Obsidian Radiance which can be utilized to change your Black Armory weapons and marginally buff the harm they bargain in the Forges. You can likewise acquire extra Obsidian Radiance by finishing more Forges, however they won’t have a similar enhancement as the main Accelerator – which I won’t ruin, since it’s truly cool.
