Can't Finish Trial of Fire - Expedition 4

[ShellGhost101]

I've let myself take actual damage in extreme heat storms several times now, and on different planets even. On the starter planet, and another with extreme firestorms. Nothing. This milestone will not complete for me. Is there some trick or am I just doomed?

buy a suit upgrade against heat and a sackful of batteries (really, 50+ batteries). You are welcome :)
an s-class is ?600 or so? nanites and will take shopping at a few stations to score, but it lasts a couple min per battery and when it goes down, your normal haz prot kicks in long enough to shovel another battery in.

if the goal is to take damage, try increasing your health and letting it burn you way down? Did you let it take off a couple of + ticks or just hit you a time or two?

In exp4 we have :
Resist the Flames :
walk 3000µ in a firestorm (make the mission active to see your counter)

and

Embrace the Flames:
...here make sure that you are nearby your ship or so that you can recover your shields.
There must be a firestorm ...make the Mission active....find a Hazard plant and let it damage your shields ... as soon as all your shields are down you did finish the mission .. now get in your ship to get your shields revoverd

you have to take damage after your shield is down, if using fire shield also, that needs to be down before normal shield will take damage. Also have mission selected, make sure you dont have any tech missions as those are pointless reminders and just interfere.

Thanks for the replies. It was my personal shield that was still up. It looked and sounded like I was taking damage but it was just the shield losing strength. I was jumping in the ship just before the mission would have completed thinking the next hit would kill me. lol

the objective is to let it take a bar of health away and then jump into the ship. :P
don't worry, if you are still wondering around the planet and you find a white box with a very small green light on it, open that and it can give you your health back.

For me, I found the best constant high temperature was under a volcano ;)

Yes, you have to take actual personal damage, so BOTH the Heat Shield AND Damage Shield have to be GONE! It is HARD to stand there watching the screen flash RED when the Hazzard Protection takes a hit, but hold strong. You need for it to expire and you take Damage to your Health Icons (in the Expedition it will be 3 circles with a cross in each) I stood in a doorway - so as soon as I took actual damage I could jump inside to safety and survive.

This task is easy, I can't believe anyone is having an issue with it. During a storm you let your hazard protection go to zero, Once it's at zero you take another hit and get critical damage. Once you lose one (+) icon on the life bar the task is complete.
