The second part ofDeath Stranding 2focuses on connecting all ofAustralia to the Chiral Network. There are some optional facilities in the game, and players should also prioritize connecting them, even if they don’t plan onraising their connection levelto the max. This is mainly because of the various benefits areas inside the Chiral Network provide. One of the trophies inDeath Stranding 2requires players to visit the F3 Crater, and here is how you can do that.
How To Reach the F3 Crater in Death Stranding 2
To access the F3 Crater early, players must progress through the story until theycomplete Order 29, which connects the Mechanic to the Chiral Network. After this mission,players will unlock the Coffin Board, which they can fabricate and use as a vehicle that floats above the ground. Though the properties of this board sound impressive, there’s a catch—it only works within the Chiral Network.
Since you need to connectHeartman’s Labbefore this, reaching the F3 Crater shouldn’t be a problem. Once theCoffin Board is unlocked, head to the lab using any mode of transportation. Fabricate a board, which will cost the following materials:
Once you’re set,ride the Coffin Board north toward the giant crater in the middle of the tar lake. No other vehicle works here, so it’s best to fly across using the board. As you approach the BT nexus in the F3 Crater,the “The Scars Left by the Giants” trophy will pop, and you’re free to leave. However, if you’re curious about the small island in the middle, feel free to investigate—but be prepared to encounter a fewBTs.
As you approach the area,your Odradek will alert you that you’re in a BT zone, and a BT will emerge from the tar.Fighting these BTs is not ideal, especially if you’re not well equipped, so keep this in mind and bring along some weapons and tools that you can fabricate at theDHV Magellanor Heartman’s Lab, which is the nearest facility.
Alternatively, players can progress further in the story until they unlock the Adventurer and raise their connection to Level 5. At that point, completingSub Order 121will transport you to the crater and also trigger the trophy.
