🧠 How to Complete Explosive Rescue (Step-by-Step)
🪪 Step 1: Talk to Ingol at the Kohl Plant
Head to the Kohl Plant, located south of the Originium Science Park, and speak with Ingol to start the side quest. He’ll explain that part of the plant’s ventilation system has collapsed — and someone’s trapped inside.
🔓 Step 2: Open the Kohl Plant Gate
Follow the on-screen indicator to the industrial gate near the plant entrance and interact with it to gain access. This gate unlocks the path to the core quest area and lets you proceed deeper into the facility.
🌀 Step 3: Enter the Ventilation Shaft
Once inside, locate the ventilation shaft — an upper-level duct hallway that leads to the deeper parts of the plant. You’ll likely need to use platforms or ladders to access elevated shafts.
💥 Step 4: Clear Debris with Explosives
As your objective suggests, the path is blocked by rubble and obstacles. Use your industrial explosives (crafted or quest-provided) to blast through the debris and open the route ahead. These explosives are becoming a midgame staple as you unlock crafting mechanics in AIC (Automated Industry Complex).
🧑🔧 Step 5: Rescue the Trapped Technician
After clearing the shaft, continue following objective markers until you reach the trapped worker or technician. Interact with the prompt to complete the rescue. Once rescued, you’ll automatically trigger the final objective.
📬 Step 6: Return to Ingol
Return to Ingol outside the Kohl Plant to report your success, collect your rewards, and wrap up the Explosive Rescue quest. Your mission log should update, and you’ll be eligible for other side quests in the region.
🎁 Rewards & Benefits
Completing Explosive Rescue typically nets you:
- T-Creds (in-game currency)
- Combat Records (experience items)
- Crafting materials — useful for AIC progression
- Story/World progression markers
These help not just with leveling but also later production quests like Produce Industrial Explosives.
