Getting back into Mother's Watch.

[felixpoop]

Trying to collect power cells for Ancient Armory. Problem is getting back in to Mothers Watch. I found a video showing how, but it is hard to follow and I have been unsuccessful.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you.

Just wait until later in the game and the door will be open again.

I'm heading there shortly: same reason. I'll let you know. I have progressed some way into the main quest-line, though. I've got 2 of the 3 quest related power cells.

You get access again to Mother's Watch to get the power cell there before the quest that allows you to get the 5th power cell, so you can't get the 5th and final powercell anyway before you will have access to Mother's Watch again. Just keep playing and pick it up when you get access again.

You need a total of 5 energy cells

You can get the power cell on your first ever visit there. You just have to wait until later if you miss it.

Yeah, I was just saying that if you do miss it, it isn't a big deal since you can't get the armor without all 5 powercells and you can't get the fifth one until you already have Mother's Watch access again, so you can just get it then and it doesn't delay the armor.

It is possible, though it's not easy and it'll show you a lot of insight to the games narrative design. It's impressively janky getting back in there, but make sure you have a fast travel pack.

There's no real benefit though, you are better off waiting until later in the game.

If you want to do it (as I did), get a charger and go right from the closed gate and ride up a slope with jumps. I'm not sure that the charger is required, but videos I watched used one.

Once you get to the bit with spears visible on the top, leave your charger and jump your way around until you get above the wooden structure marking the entrance to the ruins that you were found in after the proving. Jump to its top 'branch' and worm your way down...


... you're in!

There's a video for it.

Gate is always locked now and you can't re-enter that way. This is how to get around it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysOOqMLhHDU

There is a mission upon which that gate will be re-opened, but it won't be for a while in the storyline.
