The Recluse Spider and the GAIA Backup.

From dodging firegleam detours to accessing a gene-locked hatch, the real reward came late, a GAIA backup hidden deep inside a powered-down facility, guarded by a strange machine called the recluse spider. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmVbvLm5LNE3EGZhFZe6o6nZzfH3N6tipb5QGkWhUV5BqS/screenshot_1_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmX5HyctKGgAxV7iqaRQbfaSLkkdntDc4HYi1gVAoiBUEq/screenshot_2_.png) That's the same spot from where I kept falling in the water but this time I didn't. I became over careful and jumped safely. Using the secured containment hatch to move, I tried a dangerous jump to go for a pullcaster jump. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZ1nTYCsXfgBwLVr7U8FP5PGVFwALYExnrSLLLxDXLcnT/screenshot_3_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmTENr4Swe9pGDXQFkS96g8w24Zk1MTUVJEWYF7EUFZvns/screenshot_4_.png) I was close to the gene-locked hatch but I had to jump on some more pillars that were away from me. As my pullcaster didn't have enough rope to get to the next grapple point, I had to use it to bring a sturdy beam down and use it as a support. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmVFJjNcmgqG7zspxJJPnnF93VFVSvVywhSXcBHwAfpDM6/screenshot_6_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmbpkRcnyF9Ta6c5Dc8AQTcY4UqEwqrppPbVHbMEHXXxXo/screenshot_7_.png) There was this grapple panel that I had to open up so I could grapple my pullcaster there and then I used the pullcaster to get on that beam that was a little far for a normal jump. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmUKa63qE28cm1thLQR8VixwyX7xWzd5E8fJrbizozVUS9/screenshot_9_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmPdYc4wBEHkeCpjAJcKwfDqvkJMo33iFBiWyknHB8esin/screenshot_10_.png) I was right beside the gene-locked hatch but I ignored it seeing a firegleam ahead. I glided there to uncover what's there behind the wall and I ignited the firegleam to find only some worthless loots. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmaHzrczPznJUgWUzzy9oCAusa7a4yKLevyUtZqfyzBLrd/screenshot_11_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmdwGUJviPe4bKczvKsUKg5ZAsCZdiAS2zddstGX8Y3Q1r/screenshot_12_.png) I went back towards the hatch and I got confused when I was too close to it as I didn't see a way to get on it and I didn't want to fall down in the water again. And then I noticed a grapple point right below the platform that I used to get to the gene-locked hatch. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmUbwPT5optK69HeywV493kQks4iS9QUwXvNF2rGCMEUg7/screenshot_13_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmc1K1oJVLUhGfNQSbFHpAM5AxgqzedBTUwjHehGQgRyJT/screenshot_14_.png) I made it after all and the hatch had red light right after I reached there. I had to open the hatch and when I tried it, a synthetic voice held Aloy for identiscan and authorized entry after confirming genetic profile for Dr. Elisabeth Sobeck. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmYFMcHP39juh1pt3EmeKkzuJ45j5R1eKubNpYDiS3QRpo/screenshot_15_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmVoUpP8uxaRnC7Xxzpy7qbtMzrCT5GuQCwGkqnrQhvGL1/screenshot_16_.png) After getting inside, I had to search the facility for a GAIA backup. And there I found this huge thing without power, except for the console that only had power so I went there to find answers. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmV1MFoek9aB5SohmjZKCssSDuq1Lug6Ye9ZYVDmPrwV49/screenshot_17_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmeu57nZf643J1JNgvX7gwmcAKHQ2fbJDgR8W3Xg8fD9Tm/screenshot_18_.png) After using the operating console, I could activate the huge machine that's called recluse spider. The recluse spider thing is a testing apparatus for GAIA and HADES. As the GAIA repository was stuck, I had to find a way to lower it after examining the access panel. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmWo2beporxKvpW4P8pDDyeZJNzWYZ4JoXmaXcjDxQpf52/screenshot_19_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmbvLQvS5cvhaVqdUoPGDBs8XA3atwXWUTHhBiLa3bjeky/screenshot_20_.png) There was a pod on a leg of the spider that I had to made come down and I shot on its joint which did the trick. I could access the pod and found a GAIA backup with low data footprint and 98% free memory. --- The next post will be coming soon. Screenshots are my take from the game and I took the game logo that I used on the thumbnail picture from online. SEE YOU.
