I will explain to you how to acquire these two important crossing powers. If you are new to adventure games that don't explain where to go or what to do, this can be quite a difficult task. You won't even get quests with helpful hints unless you go to a specific location. There's a lot to see and do in the early hours of the game, and if you just want to know exactly where to go, here's a quick guide with all the information.
How to complete the quest "Fixer Upper" | Foreign alloy location
How to get a jump thruster (double jump)
Once you reach the Verdan Wilds of Zyl, go to the back right and use your scanner to spot a huge statue through a small jump. Get closer to the statue and you will unlock the 'Jump! Jump! ".
Follow it to the left side of Zyl Wilderness. Behind the pink trees you will find the grotto glistening with wonder. Go inside and crawl through the passage to the right. In front, take a light from the glowing plant and follow the path that leads to the precarious shrine.
Climb the cliffs to the shrine, then extract the precious bizarre goo. It costs 100 carbon to build on your 3D printer.
How to get the proton tie (grapple)
In the Verdant Wilds of Zyl, look on the cliffs to the right - scan the anchor points for grapple points. You'll also find them in Shangtar's frigid embrace. This will unlock the quest "A Higher Call". Complete the "Jump, jump" quest to access the far reaches of the Verdant Wilds of Zyl region.
Return to the towering alien sculpture and use the jump thruster to reach an alien plant blocking your path. Kick (or use a bait) to drop one of the pufferbirds into the plant's mouth.
This leads to the quiet crevasse of tranquility. Immediately descend and go right, then throw another Pufferbird into a second Vortex of Meat blocking your way to a ramp leading up. Repeat for a third and you'll reach an area with easy access to a teleporter.
You will have to reach the smoldering abyss. From the teleporter, go right and look for a path guarded by a plant called Sproutlook. It's easy to spot - the entire area is bathed in red light. Avoid the red light and slip behind to defeat the plant and enter the abyss.
Inside you will come across boomerangs - boring monkeys. To defeat them, unlock the loaded shot upgrade for your nomadic pistol. Only charged shots will destroy these guys.
To get through the cracked wall, take a Bombegranate from the Large Purple Plants. It will burn you out, so get it started quickly! Continue through the massive lava chamber forward, jump through the platforms that sink into the magma, and grab another Bombegranate to explode through the cracked exit wall.
It leads you to the Chamber of Intrigue, where you'll find the mysterious alien component required to craft the Proton Tether Grappling Hook. Go back to the ship and you can craft the Proton Tether with 150 silicon.
