There are some rare materials, though, that can’t be acquired this way.

These are a little different, and harder to find.

An Encrypted Vault in The First Descendant

You’ll be needing to find these weird looking statues, they’re actually the Encrypted Vaults.

In this guide, I’ll summarize what you better know about finding and unlocking them.

These come in the form ofCode BreakersandCode Analyzers, and there are different tiers.

The higher you go, the harder the Vault will be to crack.

Finding an Encrypted Vault in The First Descendant

Before you go hunting, first you must find the keys.

So, how do you get these keys to the loot?

Right now, one of the best farms seems to be theAnticipated Ambush Pointmission inRockfallon theSterile Landsmap.

There’s also an added step to this process that can make it more lucrative.

This mission is one used for a lot of farming runs, and it’ll also drop you some Code Breakers and Code Analysers, too.

There are also some listed in the game that flat out require Enzo to open at all.

So if you didn’t add him to your Descendant roster yet, consider him a must-have.

It’s not too difficult, though.

The best results opening Encrypted Vaults come from using Enzo.

These are the first sign that an Encrypted Vault is nearby.

When you find one, open up your Ecive and ensure you might hear audio clearly.

When you’re pointing in the right direction, you’ll hear a distinctive beep.

Pinging your Ecive constantly is the key to finding Encrypted Vaults.

If you turn the wrong direction, you won’t hear anything.

Basically, follow the beeps until you find the goal.

You’ll have more presses to make, and the targets will be smaller.

Once you pop open the vault you have a simple, but still tricky at times task to complete.

As pictured above, there are some materials in the game youhaveto get from them.

The same info can be found at Anais in Albion, too.
