How to Start the Power From Beyond Mission
Power From Beyond is one of the main missions you’ll randomly pick up while exploring the universe after completing the Into the Unknown mission. Completing Power From Beyond will result in the artifacts granting you a new power. You’ll also get this mission multiple times taking you to different planets and moons to get new abilities.
Power From Beyond Walkthrough
Locate and Land at the Anomaly Site
A couple of things can actually start the mission and they are listed below.
- Scan a Planet
- Land on a Planet
- Travel to the Orbit of a Planet
Once you detect the Scanner Anomaly, you’ll then be able to land your ship there.
Discover the Temple
Now that you’re on the planet, you’ll need to use your scanner to locate the temple. Once the scanner is on, you’ll need to check out different directions until the scanner starts to look distorted as seen in the image below. Head in that direction, correcting your course as you go, until the majority of the scanner is distorted. That will then lead you to the temple (a tall structure that kind of looks like a tower). Temples can also be hidden in the deserts or blocked from view by the native terrain.
Solve the Temple Puzzle
After locating the temple head inside to reach a singular room with three circular rings in the center. They will start spinning indicating that the puzzle has begun. To solve it, you’ll need to pass through a sphere of light (pictured below) multiple times. Once done enough times, the three spinning rings will stop forming a stargate. Please note that the amount of times you need to pass through the orb of light appears to be random. Sometimes you can complete the puzzle in 30 seconds other times it can take a few minutes. Also, the sphere of light is on a timer. If you don’t pass through it quickly enough, it will disappear the move to another location. I’ve noticed that when this happens, that’s when the puzzle takes longer to complete.
Receive the Power
With the puzzle solved, the only thing left to do is enter the center of the right. You’ll then be granted a new power and the mission will be completed rewarding you with some EXP.
