Guardian Structure, how to put the ancient relic into place

[brazorf]

I'm following this guide https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/8uxkma/simple_guardian_guide_weapons_and_blueprints/

I've charged all the pylons and killed all the sentries, now i am trying to drop the ancient relic on the pad but it doesnt go in that slot, it just lay there and nothing happens.

How am i supposed to drop the relic on that spot?

You just drive over the top of the pad and poop it out....erm, i mean eject it.

Should work just fine, unless you are missing something else.

It doesn't exactly fit into the slot, it just lies there like you describe.

After that, IIRC, you can scan the floaty ball... but it sounds like the floaty ball isn't happening for you.

Oh, wait.... are you sure you're at the right site for what you need?

There are different types of sites. Those that unlock most guardan modules want the relic, but some (the Fighter unlock sites) require the guardian key thing.

There is a glowing area in front of the shrine or whatever. "Poop" it out there.

Ah maybe this. How do i know if thats a fighter site? I mean is it there any clue in game?

I just did a minor trip and unlocked all guardian technology:
there's three types of blueprint fragments, module, weapon and vehicle. Module and weapon are your average "charge up the pylons, put the relic in the slot and scan the ball", but if the relic isn't accepted, you're at a vehicle fragment station. They don't take relics, they take Ancient Keys, which are obtained from Guardian beacons, space stations that have another minor puzzle to them and give out an ancient key when solved. You'll only ever need 3 keys, as there are only 3 guardian vehicles in the game, the 3 fighters.

Neat explanation, thank you.

To be honest, i have no idea if there is any clue at the sites. Maybe the Codex tells you which sites are which.

I just search canonn's website for appropriate sites.

Is there a difference between Ancient relic, and Guardian relic? all i can seem to find is Guardian relics, and noone across the net speaks of them

I think not. The Guardians are ancient.

All 6 pylons need to be charged before it will work. If the relic is just dropping on the pad, then one or more isn't charged.

The Ancient Relics are on top of the other pylons that raise up out of the ground (not the pylons you charge).

Yeah ive done that several times now. It was not working because i was not at the right guardian site. I was at that other one that seems to require a different item to be dropped on ground
