Where the heck do I go in deluge?

[it's a gabe]

That area's way too big and dangerous :|

I managed to swim to the edge of the map only to find the water asset disappeared and there was nowhere to climb. I did manage to grab the loot underwater in the middle of all the snakes, tho.

I'd imagine we have to follow the red lights? They don't seem to lead anywhere in particular, especially towards the middle.

Keep follow the red light until you see a huge eye at the bottom on the last red light pole

Oh... Do I have to swim down to this eye? Is there an oxygen mask somewhere, by any chance?

Use the red lamps -- they refill your oxygen

[Tighron]

Aha. I thought it was the tubers that did it as there usualy were some of those around the red lights. I got kind of far but around the 3rd or 4th red light ive gotten grabbed 2 times by the snakes. not gonna give up yet though.

Oh, fantastic! ngl tho, these snakes are annoying. It's so easy to mess up and get eaten by one. I don't have eyes all around my head

First time I dove in, I looked up and got immediately snatched. Was a good scare lmao

The Deluge makes me love the sense of scale, though. Phenomenal locale

Well, that's just another example of horrible design in this game. Swim god knows where to find god knows what while getting instakilled at random.

God forbid exploration in an exploration based game.
They put in a swim mechanic in a game, and put red-glowing markers deep in the water. If you cannot follow literally red lights, you simply should not be playing exploration games.

And the random insta kill mechanic? Neither is it random, nor is it an instakill, you can fight them off lol

How the ♥♥♥♥ do you fight them off?

nah, that red light is your last oxygen buffer, you just have to do it in one shot, aim yourself towards the circular thing below, and just bolt for it, you might take hits from losing oxygen but don't hesitate, you will make it :)

if you see them hauling ass at you, swim back to the red lights, it deters them.

Where the heck is Deluge? (Honest question, if anyone can point a direction or has a YT video at the ready, I'll greatly appreciate it. Wanna go find it today after work, and my skills when it comes to "orientation in the field" are mediocre (and thats an euphemism) at best)

I'll upload a vid in a bit.

From where your character spawns at the Handler Terminal, turn around and take the bridge. Past the bridge, turn right and take the next left up some stairs. You know you're on track when you reach a spell-casting dude (don't step on the AOEs). From there keep left and follow a tunnel down. Explore until you find a ladder. At the top of the ladder will be a Terminal called "Rain Sewers - Lower" (or something). This is your path to Deluge. At one point in the Rain Sewers you will reach an area with multiple paths to go, ending in two elevators. The elevator that takes you to a bridge with a lovecraftian spider abomination is the wrong one, this is a different area. The other elevator takes you to Deluge. Good luck, this entire area is stressful if you have problems with claustrophobia.

EDIT: The video in the comment above shows you the correct elevator, but I would really suggest exploring the Rain Sewers first on your own without watching the video. It's a great, albeit horrifying experience.
