how to complete dunkeltaler forest in abiotic factor
Dunkeltaler Forest route
To complete Dunkeltaler Forest in Abiotic Factor , you first need access to Hydroplant and the Neutrino Mapper. The main route is to go through the underground Hydroplant area, find the portal setup, and activate it with the mapper so the Dunkeltaler Forest portal opens.
What to do
- Reach Hydroplant in your progression.
- Bring a Neutrino Mapper with you.
- Follow the underground route toward the robotics/portal area.
- Use the mapper to bring up the portal and enter Dunkeltaler Forest.
- Once inside, continue the mission objectives there and loot the key reward, including the STOLAS Hard Drive.
Route notes
The videos and guides point to a fairly direct, progression-gated path rather than a puzzle-heavy one: the real requirement is getting into Hydroplant and having the mapper ready. One guide also mentions there is an alternate way into the area through a ladder and underwater section, but it is less convenient.
Common snag
A lot of players get stuck because they reach the forest area too early or without the mapper. If the portal does not appear, the usual fix is to keep progressing until Hydroplant is available and then return with the required item.
Loot and follow-up
After finishing the area, the route commonly leads to picking up the STOLAS Hard Drive , which is part of the broader Cosmic Companions update content. Some community posts also note that not every hatch or door in the area is meant to open, so a closed hatch is often just scenery rather than a missed path.
Quick version
- Unlock Hydroplant.
- Bring a Neutrino Mapper.
- Activate the portal in the underground robotics area.
- Enter Dunkeltaler Forest and finish the mission objectives.
