[SPOILERS] Quest "Temple of the Fallen Gods"?

[Mandrid]

I have this quest in my log, and I don't know what to do with it.

I've discovered five planets with temples on them.

One mentioned "the bright green eye of the serpent Typhon".

Another mentions a "hidden redoubt" by sailing due west of Typhon.

I think I've completed all other game content at this point except for this.

What gives?

West from Typhon lies a planet with a Wrae data archive in it, you need the temples to pinpoint the archive on the planet. Typhon is a green star system (how many you have discovered?)

The main issue with this is that there's no clue what 'due west' means, nor any indication of how far due west one should travel. The obvious conclusion to draw from the incomplete data set is that once you find Typhon to just fly "left" on the map from it, but after several minutes of flying in a straight line, mildly zig-zagging back and forth to expand scanner coverage, no joy. So is it due west on the other side of the galaxy?

This puzzle just feels like there's one clue missing, even after you find all the temples.

It's west, not that far away. I missed it too the first time. Flew from a few systems "North", on a south-west direction, inside the nebula.

It's quite simple really. Fly to the center of the star, then go directly west. If you do that you'll reach the warp nexus, that is where you are supposed to head to. Or the planet. Can't remember which but that is how I did it.

Here are some hints:


1. The planet you are looking for is in the clouds
2. Watch your speed in the clouds, you move slower when flying towards a planet

Found 3 planets so far in those clouds, only 1 of which is directly west from the star. None of them have any anomalies to explore, what am i missing?

Make that 8 planets and a star

Also found the other thing in there now. still no planet with an anomaly to investigate


Figures... flew right past it the first time around >_<

OK. I went straigt west on the same line as the green star sits.
Entering the clouds, getting RPs for ionic clouds. Doing damage to my ship.
Entering the next cloud. getting RPs for lightning blah in clouds.
Gaining heavy damage. Before i was able to leave the cloud received a second lightning struck
died... and repeat.

tl;dr:

what am i doing wrong? :)

[ryuicy]

inside the first cloud to the west is a hidden planet (detection range lower than 500), if you want to deny electric damage activate your shields, if you don't have shields the thunderstorm will easily melt your ship. So grab some at the bubble planet anomaly (which's location seems to be randomized for each playthrough)

The location of the main attraction should be around 9.8 x -17.7. There's also a Warp Nexus around 9.25 x -17.25 to make it easier to return.
As far as planets go, there are plenty of them in the nebula, and as someone else mentioned, planets affect your speed, so just kinda fly around in a straight line while keeping an eye on the speed, you'll notice when you get close.
To survive the lightning you just need shields, but as has been mentioned, the location of shields varies.
Obtaining Shield tech will cost you 75 Adamantine though, just so you're aware.

There may have been some changes since the last answer. The planet is at 12.49 x -19.67 for me now, the nexus right above it
