Echoes of Terra walkthrough

About this walkthrough

This is a complete walkthrough for Echoes of Terra.

Using this walkthrough will get you through the game with the least amount of time and wandering around, but may spoil the game and fun of exploring.

Items which can be picked up as inventory items and items which can be constructed by combining or using other items are written with bold text for emphasis.

- Take the vibrating thing under the bed, it is a datapad. Read through the entries in it.
- Take the sword that is on the floor.
- Go to the trunk and touch it.
- Open all the compartments to get armored outfit, stealth suit, medkit, archaeology tools, and electric tools.
- Talk to the scanner and put hand on the scanner for an ID check to open the last, secure compartment. It holds a gun, take it.
- Leave the trunk and go to the panel next to door.
- Use the sword to pry the panel open.
- Use electric tool on the opened panel to unlock and open the door.
- Save the game!

- Next, you need to walk through the door to another area. There will be a bunch of enemies with weapons waiting. You need act fast and shoot all three of them. The enemies have a pattern, when they are about to fire, a glow around them goes from green to yellow, and from yellow to red. If you don't shoot them fast enough, they will shoot you. Pay attention to colours, and shoot the most dangerous one first. You may also try to put on a different set of clothes, armored clothes may be able to take some damage.
- In case you get hit, but not die, you can use the medkit to patch yourself.
- It also helps if you set the gun as an active inventory item in the first room, that way it's in the drop-down menu, you don't need to select it by opening the inventory.
- Search the bodies to find ID cards, an assault rifle, and armor penetrating bullets. (You don't need all of these items, but in case you don't want too many spoilers now, just take them all.)
- Move on through the open door, you can't open the one upstairs now.

- There are cables hanging from the ceiling, use the sword to get data cables.
- Walk towards the door, stop before it, and use psychic powers to study it. Memorise the pattern that you see.

Pattern on the wall.
- Enter through the door when you are finished.

- You are in an alien computer room, you may talk to the woman if you want to, but it's not necessary to do so.
- There is a broken panel next to the force field, use the data cable on that panel.
- When the other end of the data cable is on the floor, pick it up and connect it to the alien computer console in the middle of the room. This will allow the woman to lower the force field.
- Use psychic powers again, and study the pattern on the wall. Memorise the pattern that you see.

Colours on the wall.
- Save the game!

- Enter through the door that is now accessible. You will end up in another shooting.
- As long as you don't move, you are safe behind the crates. You need to respond to the fire coming at you, but simply shooting won't help here, as the enemy is behind some barrels too.
- Change the bullets in the gun to armor penetrating bullets.
- Take aim and shoot the barrel that is protecting the shooter. He gets gased for a moment, use that moment to shoot him down. (If you fail to do this on the first try, the shooter may not be distracted another time, this is presumably a bug. If that happens, just load a save from before, and try again.)
- Watch the surprising cutscene. After it is over, walk over to the dead woman and search her body. You will get her datapad.
- Use elecric tools to fix her datapad. This will transfer its content to your own datapad. Read the entries she made.

- Next, walk to the ledge next to the crystal and touch it to interact with it.
- You will need to activate the crystal using a set of controls with patterns on them. Try to remember the patterns you memorised before.
- The tricky part here is that there are two sets of controls for the crystal. One based on patterns, and another based on colours. If you view this through normal view, you can't solve the puzzle. Use psychic powers again to see the real settings of the crystal.
- Set the controls so that the patterns match the ones near the door in the corridor, and the colours match those in the computer room.

The correct solution for the puzzle.

When you get an exact match, the crystal will automatically activate, and a cutscene and credits of the game will follow.

The game is finished!


THE GAME IS FINISHED. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
