When you return to the vent and continue on, you’lloverlook a room with more Ecliptic enemiespatrolling around. You’ll need toengage in a fight to get through. Some are low-level grunts, but you’ll also encounterEcliptic Mercs and some Ecliptics with extra armor.
There arecylindrical gas containersin this room that, if shot, willexplode out in ice crystals. Use these to your advantage if one of the Ecliptics stands by them.
As you continue through the next hallway, you’ll find another vent anda small closet with some more itemsthat you can pick up. Eventually, you will reacha cafeteria area.
When you go past here into the next room, you’ll seea couple secure access doorswhich require a Cryogen Research Lab Key to unlock. You’ll be able to find anitem that can help you enter these rooms furtherin the facility.
Throughout the Abandoned Cryo Lab, you will alsoencounter multiple Ecliptic enemies to fight in various rooms. Keep your eyes peeled.
As you continue exploring the hallways, you’ll reacha closed door next to an open elevator shaft.Both ways will take you into a large multi-level underground room. Reach the other side of the room, and you’ll find yourself ina stairwell that you can head down to continue on.
However, if youmake your way up the stairwell, you’ll reacha collapsed section of the stairs. Jump andboost pack across, and you’ll find a frozen worker witha Cryogen Utility Key, and a data slate titled, “Final Report.”

Going deeper into the underground lab will eventuallytake you to rocky tunnelsthat should be familiar to you at this point in your journey. You’ll eventually see the familiargravitational anomalies and Caelumitethat give away the presence of an Artifact.
Fight The Starborn For Artifact Theta
Unfortunately, one of theStarbornhas followed you to this Artifact, andwill ambush youeither before or after you cut it out of the Caelumite deposit.
The Starborn is level 30, and will be wearingcloaking armor. At times, it will go nearly invisible, but you’ll be able to tell where they are byvisual distortions in the form of a body.
Shotguns can be especially effectiveat close range against the Starborn.
Defeat the Starborn, cut out Artifact Theta, and thenretrace your steps back out of the cryo lab. Make sure to stop at any rooms on the way out to pick up extra crafting and sellable materials.
While you are in this System, you’ll learn that there is a scanner anomaly that will point you to Tau Ceti VIII-b.Temple Thetais on this moon, and you canhead to this temple to pick up a new power.

When youenter the Hillside Cave, it will be nearly abandoned by enemies. There will beseveral Turret MK1s throughout the cave, however. Keep an eye out for thered laser sights that will clue you into the direction of the turrets.
There is alsoa contraband cache in the upper levelsof the cave. It hasa Master-level lockthat you would need to hack to get the goods inside.
There are several tunnels and paths through the cave, and you might evenreach an exit to the cave without finding the Artifact. You want tolook for a triangle-shaped pathin the cave to go through.
Once you get through this,look down to the right, and you’ll seean open area where you can jump down. The path here will take you right to the Artifact.
