If you’ve been roaming the misty depths of Broken Delta in Once Human, chances are you’ve already spotted that lonely lighthouse watching the sea like a silent guardian. Well, it’s more than just a pretty landmark – it’s the beginning of the Unfinished Expedition quest, and trust me, this little side adventure is worth every glide and gunfight.
Hey Meta-human! 🌟 You’re going to love the thrill of hunting down scattered Rosetta research documents while fending off high-level soldiers and sneaky Crushers. But don’t rush in with just a rusty blade and a dream. Let’s break it all down so you can zip through this like a pro, pick up those sweet rewards, and maybe even feel a bit like a spy in a post-apocalyptic movie. Ready? Let’s soar!
🔍 Where to Start: The Lighthouse Beckons
Before you do anything, make sure you’ve finished the campaign in the Dayton Wetlands. The quest marker won’t even peep until that’s done – it’s like the game is saying, “Nope, you’re not ready yet, kiddo.” Once it appears, look to the bottom right corner of the Broken Delta map. See that little icon? Yep, that’s our starting point.
Head over there, and you’ll find a lighthouse posed dramatically on a cliff. Climb all the way to the top floor – yes, every single stair – and you’ll spot some expedition notes casually lying on the floor. Interact with them, and boom, the quest officially kicks off. It’s like finding a crumpled to-do list from someone who really should have come back for it.
🗺️ How the Quest Unfolds: Three Papers, One Big Headache (in a good way)
Once you’ve activated the quest, your map will light up with three distinct markers. Your mission, should you choose to accept it (and you don’t really have a choice), is to collect all three Rosetta research documents tucked away in the wilderness. But here’s the catch: the place is crawling with Rosetta Securers and some hefty Crushers who will not hesitate to say hello with a bullet or a punch. Seriously, these guards have eyes like hawks, so stealth is your bestie.
⚠️ Pro tip: Be at least level 12 before you start. I know, I know, you’re a brave soul, but trust me on this one. And pack a bunch of Activators – those little healing wonders – because things can go sideways faster than a deerling spotting a stray Devourer. Keep ’em on your hotbar and spam if needed. No one’s judging.
📜 Document Hunt: Where Those Sneaky Papers Hide
Now the fun part – tracking down each record. Each location has its own flavor of danger and a little puzzle to solve. Let’s dive in!
🌊 Environmental Security Data – The Island Boat Surprise
From the top of the lighthouse, you’ll spot a tiny island with a red-and-white striped watch tower. You know what to do: press V to soar and glide over there like the majestic Meta-human you are. But don’t aim for the boat just yet – that tower is going to be your launchpad. Land near it first, because the area is packed with Rosetta Securers who can spot you from a mile away. Clear them out (or at least thin the herd) before you proceed. Then climb that tower, and soar again to the nearby boat. Right there, you’ll find the Environmental Security Records waiting for you like a message in a bottle.
💉 Medical Records – Into the Wild Dog Isle Outpost
Now things get a little more intense. The remaining two documents are inside Wild Dog Isle Outpost, and the first one you’ll want to grab is the Medical Records. Head up the hill and slip into the fenced area to the right. The outpost is a hotbed of Rosetta Securers and Crushers, but your target is the Rosetta Laboratory standing stubbornly in the center. Go inside, climb the stairs, and you’ll find a computer terminal. Interact with it, and a simple puzzle appears – just match up three numbers. Solve it, and the Medical Records unlock. It’s like a tiny brain teaser, but don’t worry, it won’t bite.
🛰️ Army Documents – Align the Pictures, Open Sesame!
This one’s my personal favorite because it feels like a secret agent gadget test. The final Army Documents are located across from the area with the helicopter, or left from the starting gate, right under a huge satellite dish. The building is locked tight at first, but there’s a clever trick. Look at the door: you’ll see one half of a picture. Now glance at the metal storage container in front of the building – there’s the other half. To unlock the door, you just need to move the camera around until the two halves align visually and form a whole picture. When the image clicks into place, the screen goes black for a second and the door slides open. Inside waits your Army Documents. Satisfaction guaranteed.
💰 Turn In & Collect Your Loot
Once you’ve scooped up all three documents, make your way to Meyer’s Market, the cozy hub in this region. You can hand them over to either Claire or Maxie. Honestly, it doesn’t matter who you pick – they both cough up the same rewards. So don’t stress over the choice; just pick whichever one is not busy glaring at a wall.
And that’s it! You’ll receive your quest rewards, some experience, and probably a deeper appreciation for how Rosetta really, really needs to organize their paperwork. Plus, you’ve just cleared a chunk of the Broken Delta, and that feels pretty darn good.
💬 Final Whisper from a Fellow Survivor
Look, this quest might seem a bit daunting with all the soaring and puzzle-solving, but it’s honestly one of the more charming diversions in Once Human. The locations are scenic in that eerie, beautiful way only this game can pull off. So pack your favorite weapon, whisper a prayer to the Activator gods, and take a deep breath. The Rosetta soldiers won’t know what hit ’em. Happy hunting, Meta-human! ✨
Oh, and if you see a Crusher stomping your way – just glide, glide, glide. You got this.
