Great Desert and Abyss Levoire Entrance
Upon arriving in the Great Desert, your first task is to unlock the initial Supply Camp. This involves initiating and completing the “Reboot!!!” side mission, which requires activating all four Service Drones located within the sandstorm. After successfully powering up the camp, head northeast to reach the entrance of Abyss Levoire.
Once at Abyss Levoire, you will be confronted by Shael, the guardian of the area. Similar to a previous encounter with Quiel, you must defeat Shael in a duel to gain access to the laboratory. After defeating Shael, you can proceed into the Emergency Exit section of Abyss Levoire.
Emergency Exit and Closed Lobby
Inside the Emergency Exit, you will find that you are restricted to using only your gun, mirroring the Altess Levoire mission. Utilize the available terminals to replenish your ammunition as needed. A Supply Camp is located directly in front of you as you enter Abyss Levoire and descend the stairs. This camp is difficult to miss.
The next challenge involves navigating an area with a large propeller and moving saw blades. Your goal is to shut down the wind from the propeller. Begin by climbing the ledges on the right side of the room. After clearing this section, drop down and move to the left side of the room where another set of ledges awaits. Climb these to reach an area where you can drop down closer to the propeller. Use your gun to shoot the glowing weak spots on the contamination attached to the propeller’s fan blades to destroy it.
In the Closed Lobby section, after opening a vent and a gate using computer consoles, backtrack slightly to a corridor with locked doors. Take the left path, which will lead you into a room with Naytibas and lasers. Defeat all enemies in this room. Once the area is clear, open the box located on the central platform to acquire the Planet Diving Suit (3rd) Design Pattern.
Capsule Cluster Room and Underground Passage
The Capsule Cluster Room requires careful platforming, jumping between various floating platforms to traverse the area. After successfully navigating this section, you will find a Camp just to the left in the next room, behind a door. Shortly after this, unlock a gate by interacting with its control panel. Proceed through, and at the top of the stairs in the subsequent room, another Camp will be located on the left.
Upon entering the Underground Passage, EVE will note the presence of numerous Naytibas beyond a gate, which you must open. Clear out all the enemies. Follow the path into a room filled with lasers, where a Camp is situated on the left side. After successfully navigating the laser room, Adam will regain control of communications. Immediately to your right, you will find another Camp. Continue through the Laboratory Ruins, completing the various platforming sequences.
| Location | Collectible | Type | Notes |

| Emergency Exit | Supply Camp #1 | Camp | Directly in front after descending stairs. |
| Closed Lobby | Planet Diving Suit (3rd) | Design Pattern | In a box on the central platform after clearing Naytibas and lasers. |
