Echoes Of The Past is an exciting mission where you’ll be delving into an abandoned prison infested with bug-like aliens and intergalactic pirates. There’s lots to loot in this mission, so make sure to bring a large supply of Digipicks.
Proceed To The Surface Of Suvorov
If you’re starting the Echoes Of The Past quest straight after the Rook Meets King quest, landing on Suvorov will be a breeze since it’s the only planet in theKryx system. However, if you are far away, you may need to plan for multiple Grav Jumps.
LandatThe Lock, and you’ll find Delgado’s Crimson Fleet Phantom III, Delgado, Mathis, and a few Crimson Fleet Rooks.The landing zone is a short walk from the Lock entrance, andDelgado clarifies that your companion will have to wait outside the Lock, so bear that in mind when entering the prison.
On the walk to the Lock, you’ll be swarmed by Gryllobas, a small bug-like creature that can burrow into the ground. The Gryllobas are easy to kill; however, they can be dangerous in a swarm, so stick close to the group.
It’s a good idea to bring equipment with theBeast Hunter trait, like theUC Antixeno Spacesuit,along to the mission as you’ll be encountering swarms of Gryllobas.
Explore The Lock With Delgado
Once you enter the Lock, your companion will be forced to stay outside. The entrance to the prison is eerie, and it does not take long before hell breaks loose. After you walk down the stairs, you’ll be led to a large room, but before Delgado and you may plan your next move,a swarm of Gryllobas will attack you.
To clear the area, we suggest entering the small rooms to funnel the Gryllobas into a choke point.
Once you’ve secured the area, you will be assigned along with Mathis toenter the control room to find a way to gain access to the prison blocks. However, theroof caves in upon entering a corridor,cutting you and Mathis off from Delgado and the group.
Proceed To The Control Room
This is where things get interesting.Mathis reveals that he has a plan to take Kryx’s Legacy information and sell it to the highest bidderand wants you tohelp him betray Delgado. You have a few options in response. you’re able to accept Mathis’s offer, stay loyal to Delgado, or play it safe or neutral until you’re decided.
Mathis will abandon the plan to betray Delgado at the end of the Echoes Of The Past Quest.
After the conversation, you’ll continue to the control room, but not before hearing gunshots and shouting coming from the main room.There’s an audio slate namedPartner’s in Timeon the table in the following roomnext to the Spacesuit Workbench.The slate offers an insight into Jasper Kryx’s prison break.
Once you reach the Control Room, talk to Delgado through the intercomand thenoverride the lockdown via the Transfer Area Control Workstation. Don’t forget to read the messages on the SpaceWare terminal, as it reveals that Jasper Kryx was transferred to D-Block.
Proceed To D-Block
With the security lockdown lifted, you’ll open all the doors in the main room and allow Delgado to enter the prison.Your next objective is to enter D-Block.To do this, enter the now unlocked door at the back of the Control Room to reach a small room with aPrisoner Intake Computer. Activate D-Block Auxiliary Powervia the Power Systems Controls to unlock the door to D-Block.
Proceed To D-Block Guard Tower
Now that you have access to D-Block, you’ll need to make your way along the catwalk to theD-Block Guard Tower,where you can unlock the cell block switches in D-Block andfind information on Jasper Kryx’s cell.Be ready for a fight, though, as thisarea is swarming with Gryllobas.
D-Block is a huge area that is split into sections accessed via catwalks. There’s a lot to explore here and lots of loot to pick up, especially if you have a large supply of Digipicks. However, much of the area will belocked until you power up the cell block switches.
you’re able to find theSuspicious Stolen Goods Slatein the cafeteria security guard roomon the catwalk, along withKryx’s Journal Entry 04, in a locker in the shower room.Picking up this skill book permanently reduces the cost of vendor prices and sell value of items by two percent.
Once you reach the Guard Tower, Mathis will yet again attempt to convince you to betray Delgado.
How To Find Jasper Kryx’s Prison Cell
To find Jasper Kryx’s prison cell, you’ll need to use theD-Block Guard Workstation computer, open the Prisoner Records, and search for Jasper’s name. To save you time,open the D-Block Section 03 Prisoner List. This will automatically give you the prison cell location.
Before you exit the computer, click on theLIMS message at the bottom of the desktop to reveal the location of a weapons cachethat security guards had confiscated, as overheard in theSuspicious Stolen Goods Slate, have been stored inCell D-02-106 (section 02).

Moreover, Jasper is working with acrooked security guard named Carter, who has dropped off aslate named Carter’s Gigin a locker in the shower roomcontaining thesecurity code for the Maintenance Access Computerin theVentilation room.
The Carter’s Gig Slate can be given to Lt. Jillian Toftas Crimson Fleet evidence for theBurden Of Proof Quest.
Access Kryx’s Escape Tunnel
Once you pick up theCarter’s Gig slate, you may access the Maintenance Access Computer in the ventilation roomand open the security door leading to aLoose Panel where Jasper Kryx dug his escape tunnel.The tunnel will lead to an armory and although the prisoners scavenged the room for weapons, you can find a decent amount of ammo and weapons.
Proceed To The Shuttle Bay
After you’ve taken everything you need, exit the armory and battle your way through the Power Plant room, followed by the Control Room.
you may find theSign Of Things To Come audio slate in the Power Plant Control Roomon the desk by the computer at the back of the room.

Report what you found to Delgado on the intercom, and he will open the Shuttle Bay doors, allowing you to fly a shuttle out of the Lock. Delgado explains he will make his own way back to his ship.

However, you will gethelp from Mathis, so make sure to heal him if he goes down,especially if playing on Very Hard difficulty.
Heavy Weaponssuch as the 989-Microgunwould be very effective here; we used aLegendary Bridger looted from the Military Chestin theWarden’s Office. Bear in mind thatexplosives will likely damage Mathis, too.
