So.. Freyr - Entangled. (Major spoiler)

[Martin]

First off.. I thought this was an awesome mission. I mean vibes of playing the aliens games.. had me out of my skin a few times. I was wondering tho, when you leave the building, the bugs attack, you rescue raphael.. so you're in a different reality now? Yet.. everyone is on your ship and whoever died, is still dead.. or was the different reality only on the planet.. or even inside and around the facility..

The choices seem to be gain an engineer... rescue raphael.. he has outpost eng 1 and management 1 and 2 in starship eng. Or you get a fairly decent leg space suit and helmet.. and rescue everyone else. If you rescue the engineer.. you also get a building you can go back and loot properly.. i ran out of space several times inside. Most likely the stuff i dropped will be deleted.

But there is one thing I was wondering.. is it possible to calibrate the probe.. and get the data? I actually tried all the calibration inputs but couldn't get any of them to work.. was hoping maybe I'd get a little something extra before i switched it off.

I saw a youtube video explaining how to merge both universes and save everyone by doing something like that.

I just lost interest when I realized it would make the quest quite a bit longer and I just wanted it to end at that point.

I liked this mission - Stranger Things vibes, I thought. Without a bunch of kids running around, of course

[Slender]

I agree, my favorite side mission so far.

[Grim Grail]

The only people directly effected by what's happening in Entangled (and yes, great mission) is inside that base. So Raf on one side and the rest on the other. Ongoing reality changes would really only effect potential NPCs related to those who died, and we never meet them. That's my take, anyway.

edit: and having read some further replies I know I'll be doing it a little differently in the next play through.

Maybe NG+ gives you an option here - it seems to be that a Starborn can get some more influence on certain outcomes.

And yes - that mission was awesome. Hopefully we'll get a lot more of these - we need more creepy alien stuff. The lighting in this mission was excellent.

Yes, you can get a "Golden Ending" for that mission. In some ways it feels kind of cheap since you don't have to make any sacrifices, but it is an option. You have to degauss the switches in both dimensions, and then adjust the frequencies on the control room computer in both dimensions until you get a stable setting (it will say unstable until you get them where they need to be, I don't remember what the frequencies were for me, but they weren't the same number between the 2 dimensions). After that you hit the calibrate button in both worlds and the matter resolves iself.

Yes. No spoiler answer: Listen to what Raphael says how he survived, and he could have died. You might find something interesting.

Spoilery answer: You can find Raphaels body where he says he could have crawled to. In there, you can find hints how to calibrate the probe. You need to switch between two realities to bypass certain locked door

Step-by-step guide:

Find control room, it overlooks the experiment room where the probe is. You need to degauss certain controls. Try degaussing, see which ones need to it, turn them on and degauss them. Then turn them back off so you can proceed with the frequency calibration.

Now, switch to non-destroyed lab and repeat the steps. You will need to move between the two worlds to bypass the security door.

In the non-destroyed world, set Output frequency to 40Hz. Go back to destroyed world and tset the frequency to 24Hz. You will find that it will succeed in creating a stable connection by having two worlds both connect to 35Hz.

Now, just flip the probe controls and watch as the two worlds merge.

It should be noted that game never hints that this is possible in its UI. There is never [Optional] marker. Instead, game expects you to pay attention and realize there is a third way.

There is a note on Raphael's body explaining how to finish the mission properly, so that you get the best of both worlds.

I followed the instructions for the lab experiment and did that and everything worked out. It's all right there.

Nice find I found his body but was kind of ... busy with all the things shooting at me. Guess I missed that last hint (normally I'm reading every and all texts hidden in computers / notepads etc).

[fauxpas]

As it's been mentioned you aren't interacting with two different universes, you are deciding the 'coin flip' of what happened in the current universe.


It's the "Schroeder's Cat" thought experiment and you get to be the observer that decides the outcome.

I was trying to work on something like this, but there's so many variations to try to guess it.. i guess there's maybe some maths involved and I suck at that.

[velasquezt43]

I got so lost in this mission that it took me two play sessions over two days to figure it out.

I missed the ledge/ruined bridge you can climb up to in that cave area with all the bugs. Don't forget about that!

[Martin]

Yeh I kept getting thrown by the 2 computers next to each other.. thinking I'd done that already then double taking and looking and realising there's actually 2 computers.. next to each other..

There is a note in the control room that hints at what you need to achieve, and poking around values gives you hint where you need them.
