Researching The Destroyed Weaver's Flourish

Avatar_ Frontiers of Pandora™ Investigate a bound hideous horse in ashes.

Here you have to investigate three separate locations to complete your initial search. You can find them in the following places:

  • Dead Direhorse. Perched at the center of Weaver's Flourish, this point of inquiry is hard to miss.
  • Destroyed Sleeping Nook. To the left of the dead hideous horse you'll find a smoking sleeping nook that you can search for.
  • Ransacked Na'vi Baskets. Further south, past the slope of the camp, there are several baskets torn in the foliage.

Continue further southeast through the fallen log until you reach an unfamiliar symbol in the ashes. Kill the wild vipers and then investigate with Sarentu.

Here, you and Sarentu will be split up to investigate both the fires and the signals coming from Teylan's report. Continue east, fly on your ikran to go faster. Once you pass a burning tree and still follow the smoke plumes, be prepared to fight.

Defeat the RDA

Avatar_ Frontiers of Pandora™ Sneak towards RDA units in an ash forest.

RDA forces are lurking in the forest and burning down foliage. There is two AMP pyrosuits and a a few foot soldiers flanking them. You can smake your way forward and take out one of the AMP suitsbut the rest are likely to lead to open combat. Skulk in the shadows if you like, or take them out in blazing glory.

Enter The Destroyed Resistance HQ

Avatar_ Frontiers of Pandora™ Enter the destroyed resistance building.

Once you defeat the RDA, go further east until you find another symbol burning in the forest. With a view of the cliffs, you want head north to find the ruins of the old resistance head office.

Beware of the fire surrounding the entrance.

Land near the base and move on to the recessed ceiling. Go down and investigate the site. In the southwest corner is a dead wild viper that is tied up. Continue crawling through the tunnel to the east, where you'll find weapons made for Na'vi hands strung on the wall.

Take the corridor north, there a fuse box lies dormant. Turn it on drive up the area. Notice the machinery here, as it is a forerunner of things to come.

Take the ammo by the door and the Dapophet capsule, which RDA forces will surround the area temporarily.

Get ready to fight Amp suits, ground units and Hellhound Veteran Trackers. You can withdraw most of these devices silent with arrows before they see you, though several waves of reinforcements will work against you.

If you need space to retreat and regroup, take to the hidden tunnel behind the ramp where you leave the facility. There is a small tunnel here that you can hide in while enemies search for you.

Once they are treated, it's time to do it regroup with Sarentu.

Where to find the abandoned TAP entrance

Avatar_ Frontiers of Pandora™ Stands below the entrance to the TAP facility in the forest.

To reach the abandoned TAP facility, go southeast to the overgrown entrance. When you get there, Sarentu will give you instructions go further up the rocks. Reach them there while riding your ikran, that is climb the rest of the way. Enter the facility with Sarentu, then begin the trek to Mercer's old office.

Dive into the water and swim through the gaping open hole bubbles at the far end of the facility. Swim south through the gap and to the other side, where emergency doors are locked. Break to vent to the left of the door and crawl to the maintenance room.

Make sure to come up for air so you don't drown!

More ammo and another TAP recording are in the room, so take them before you continue to the end of the hall, shrouded in flames.

You can fall through the valve to navigate around the fire, but instead, take the door on the right and take another TAP recording. Climb up through the wreckage and proceed towards Mercer's office.
