Waterstop is the first Evocarium that asks you to do more than follow a beam of light. Two orbs sit in plain view on nearby roofs; the third is tucked below the facility and easy to miss if you chase the beam toward a locked building. Here’s the cleanest route through the firefight and the puzzle.

Waterstop Evocarium location (Coastal Bonescape)

Head to the Waterstop point of interest in Coastal Bonescape, east of your first base and northeast of the Splashzone boss arena. Timekeeper forces occupy the facility’s northern catwalks with clear sightlines over the central yard. Clear the area methodically and use cover; pushing up the middle “with guns blazing” tends to draw fire from every angle.

With the site quiet, go to the short bridge at the middle of the yard and interact with the Evocarium console to pulse out the three orb beacons.

Waterstop Evocarium orb locations

Orb Where to look How to reach Notes
1 — Rooftop Visible from the console, on a nearby roof beside the central bridge Climb the structure; use the grappling anchor if needed Grab this first so you can spot the next rooftop path from above
2 — Rooftop across Opposite the first, on the next building across the yard Glide from the first roof using your pack; mantle the ledge to secure the pick-up You can also approach from ground level, but the glide is faster
3 — Underground Under the same side of the yard as Orb 1, beneath the building the beam appears to point at From the console, head northwest, skip the first pit, and enter the second pit with large pipes; find the ladder down beneath the floor Ignore the misleading beam toward a locked door — the orb is in the chamber below the deck
Tip: If you lose your bearings after the first two, return to the bridge console, face northwest, and track the heavier pipework; the correct pit has visible machinery and the tucked-away ladder into the crawlspace.

Turn-in and immediate reward

Return to the Evocarium console and interact to deposit all three orbs. You’ll trigger the Evocarium message playback and log your progress for this location. Some Evocariums contribute upgrade currency across the planet, but here the immediate outcome is the audio log and completion credit.

Combat and traversal pointers for Waterstop

  • Thin the north catwalks first. Clearing those angles makes the central yard much safer while you climb and glide.
  • Use movement tools. The grappling anchor near the first roof and your glide pack shorten the route between rooftops.
  • Don’t chase the beam for Orb 3. It points at an inaccessible door; drop into the second pit with the heavy pipes and take the ladder below the floor.

Once Waterstop is done, you’ll have a feel for how Evocariums escalate: two “showcase” orbs to teach the space, and one that tests your awareness of ladders, pits, and under-deck pathways. The same pattern shows up elsewhere, so keep an eye out for pipes, hidden ladders, and rooms under platforms as you move on.
