Outer Wilds 2: Vanquishing the Vexing Vapors Walkthrough

In the Vanquishing the Vexing Vapors mission from Outer Wilds 2, technicians must neutralize hazardous fumes at a malfunctioning robotic facility. While the core objective seems simple, unexpected mechanical threats complicate repairs requiring both combat readiness and environmental problem-solving.

This walkthrough breaks down essential steps for navigating the Automech Repair Center’s challenges. Discover efficient pathways through volatile zones and strategies for overcoming hostile automatons while restoring critical systems.

Resolving the Gas Crisis: Step-by-Step Mission Breakdown

Initial Briefing with Facility Leadership

Begin by consulting Marshal Danelson at the repair center’s command hub. Completing prior missions grants required equipment for toxic environment navigation. After securing specialized protection gear, the marshal authorizes access to the contaminated maintenance zone.

Navigating Hazardous Maintenance Areas

Descend to lower facility levels following navigation markers. Bypass initial toxic barriers using ventilation shafts, remaining vigilant for defective security drones. Eliminate hostile units before accessing control panels revealing dual containment failures in the gas regulation system.

Securing Critical Infrastructure

Confront heavy combat units guarding upper maintenance levels. Utilize improvised platforms to reach elevated control nodes. The first containment valve requires precision platforming across unstable storage crates. The secondary regulator demands rooftop traversal using external ledges and access ladders.

After securing both pressure nodes, return to central systems management. Activate emergency shutdown protocols before reporting success to command staff. Successful completion yields:

  • 1080 Experience Points
  • Explosive Munitions Blueprint
  • Advanced Ballistics Schematic
  • Specialized Combat Stimulant
  • Monetary Compensation (1000 Units)
