Invisible Glyphs: Discovery quest walkthrough for Arknights: Endfield

Invisible Glyphs: Discovery is the opening quest in the Invisible Glyphs chain in Arknights: Endfield. It plays out on the eastern edge of the West Hub and revolves around recovering a stolen Smart Performance Booster for the UWST crew. The path is straightforward, but a few steps are easy to miss if you rush past NPCs or skip interactions at the Landbreakers’ camp.


Quest location and how to start Invisible Glyphs: Discovery

Step 1: Travel to the eastern part of the West Hub. Look for a Base Security staff member standing in front of a large golden rock formation. They are examining the rock rather than patrolling.

Step 2: Speak to this Base Security NPC. The conversation about the strange markings on the rock will automatically start the Invisible Glyphs: Discovery quest.

Scan the golden rock for hidden footprints

Step 1: After the dialogue, face the large golden rock near the Base Security officer. Activate your scanning feature while targeting the rock.

Step 2: Keep the scanner active until footprints appear on the rock’s surface. This confirms the glyph anomaly and advances the quest log.

Go to the Originium Byproduct Processing Center

Step 1: Follow the quest navigation to the Originium Byproduct Processing Center. You can use fast travel if you have nearby anchors unlocked.

Step 2: At the Processing Center, talk to the frustrated UWST crewmate. They explain that the Landbreakers have looted supplies, including the Smart Performance Booster you are tracking.

Reach the Landbreakers’ camp and locate the looted supplies

Step 1: Leave the Processing Center and follow the waypoint toward the Landbreakers’ camp. The route may spawn enemies along the way.

Step 2: You can ignore incidental enemies on the road if you want to save time. Focus on moving straight to the camp marker unless you specifically need combat resources.

Step 3: When you arrive, you will see Landbreakers performing a strange ritual around their camp. This is the correct location for the stolen supplies.

Defeat the Landbreakers and search for clues

Step 1: Engage the group of Landbreakers involved in the ritual. Defeat all hostile mobs in the immediate area to unlock the next phase of the objective.

Step 2: After combat, search near the stacked boxes and crates within the camp. Interact with the highlighted spots around the boxes to investigate.

Step 3: Continue interacting with these clue points until the quest log confirms you have gathered clues related to the stolen supplies.

Switch off the GP Broadcaster inside the tent

Step 1: Enter the nearby Landbreaker tent in the camp. Inside, you will find a device labeled GP Broadcaster.

Step 2: Interact with the GP Broadcaster to play the messages it is transmitting. Let the audio run so the quest acknowledges that you have heard it.

Step 3: Once you have listened, interact with the broadcaster again to switch it off. Turning it off completes the investigation segment in the camp.

Return the supplies to Satyr

Step 1: Leave the camp and head back to the Originium Byproduct Processing Center. Use fast travel if available to reduce backtracking time.

Step 2: Speak with Satyr at the Processing Center. During the dialogue, hand over the recovered supplies and confirm that the Smart Performance Booster has been secured.

Step 3: Finishing this conversation completes Invisible Glyphs: Discovery and unlocks the rewards and continuation of the Invisible Glyphs questline.

Invisible Glyphs: Discovery quest rewards

Clearing Invisible Glyphs: Discovery grants a solid mix of currency and upgrade materials:

  • Oroberyl ×75 — premium currency for pulls and key purchases.

  • Intermediate Combat Record ×18 — operator experience items.
  • T-Creds ×4,200 — standard in-game currency.

With these steps completed, the Invisible Glyphs chain can continue into its later entries, and the West Hub’s eastern side becomes one more cleanly wrapped subplot in Talos-II’s broader mess.
