Trail to the East
At the northern gate of Port Atlantis you'll see the Trail Guide. If you don't see him, you're probably on the entrance East of this and you need to go a little bit more West.After talking to him you should have 3 waypoints on your map. For now we are going to the closest one at North Swamp camp. Just follow the road out there towards the closest waypoint.
North Swamp Camp
Ahh, the smell of rotting wood, sweet flowers and a million mosquitoes. North Swamp camp houses three permanent residents: Hokan, George and Linn. South of this camp is the, by now familiar swamps.
Allophylic enmatters
You can find Yokan outside the settlement [61967, 76165]. He will ask you to mine at three specific places for enmatters. He gives the probes for free to do so.
Go to each location and drop a probe. Then return to Hokan
Reward for accepting: 15 Probes
Reward for completing: Increase in Surveying Skill.
When entering the building you'll meet Sweaty George. He will ask you to gather 20 sweat, preferably from Allophyl. This is however a mere suggestion and I recommend the less hard hitting Tripudion instead.
Equip your sweating tool and aim to start extract sweat. About 2/3 of your attempts will fail and each hit will interrupt the sweating, making it more of nuisance than fun.
Reward for completing: Increase in Sweat Gathering Skill.
In the same room as George you will find Linn. She'll ask you if you have a weapon and send you off to kill 30 Exarosaurs. They can be found just north of the outpost. For new players you'll find the mature and old ones are on the hard side to kill with a starting weapon. If you feel under-powered, it is best to stay with the young ones.
Reward for completing: Increase in Aim Skill.
After completing the Exaro-OW mission, Linn will ask you if you could help out at Argonaut Island. Accept the mission and follow the waypoint east [62702, 76110].
Once you arrive, speak to Harzol Kenna to start the mission chain here.
Note:Before you do the Scare Tactics mission talk to Taylor so you can do stroll on the beach mission chain, below, simultaneously. They both involve killing Argonaut.
After killing the three leaders go to the cave and enter it.
Fight your way through hordes of Argonauts and at the end rescue the Scientists.
Reward for completing: Increase in Courage Skill and 1700 Universal Ammo.
Reward for completing: Increase in Surveying Skill.
Reward for completing: 2400 Universal Ammo or EWE EP-1 proton.
After finishing the previous missions it is time again to head East and North towards Orthos West Mound. Now Orthos West Mound is a beautiful little settlement hidden in plain sight. But there is not much to do here and no interesting mobs nearby, so most colonists don't bother coming here.
It only adds to its timeless beauty and makes it an excellent fishing spot... if fishing ever gets invented that is.
Don't forget to grab the teleporter on your way out. And take the bridge over the water after which you can just follow the road to fort fury.
Once you arrive at Fort Fury, talk to Nestor Bakshi. Who will gladly share you multiple ways to travel.
But for now, be happy you made it so far inland and enjoy the scenery and the Feffoid roaring in the distance. If you haven't greeted the feffoid yet; it is a nice time to give them a cold handshake... or maybe not.
Next time we are going explore all around. From Fort Lahar to Zyon Citadel to the old trading hub Twin Peaks.
Reward for completing: Increase in Surveying Skill.
