How to complete Destroy Exospire in Helldivers 2

March 20 has activated the Destroy Exospire mission in Helldivers 2, and it involves taking down the storm formations on planet Seasse. However, the job is easier said than done, and you can expect plenty of enemies that will try to disrupt your attempt. Let’s look at how to easily complete the new quest that arrives as part of the Machinery of Oppression update.

Helldivers 2 Destroy Exospire walkthrough

Once you accept the quest from the terminal, head to Seasse to begin the quest. The Exospire is a massive-purple colored structure that is almost impossible to miss. When you reach its base, you’ll realize that a giant shield blocks the entrance. You have to take this shield down before you can proceed further.

First, look for the sub-objective that requires you to disrupt a Shield Generator. You’ll find the generator close to the Exospire. Keep shooting at the generator’s shield until it gets destroyed. Next, destroy the generator by calling the Data Jack stratagem. Once the stratagem becomes active, enemies will start spawning on you.

To complete the process, you’ll need to clear all enemies. Finally, initiate the power surge to bring down the shield that restricts you from entering the base of the Exospire. Once inside, you’ll have to destroy 148 Dark Fluid Cells. These cells are on the walls, and you can start to shoot at them. However, you’ll also have to be mindful of enemies who will try to stop you from succeeding.

The core will become completely destabilized when all the Dark Fluid Cells are destroyed. The core will then explode, and your task will be complete. When the core explodes, try to run as far away as possible. Otherwise, you’ll get eliminated by the explosion (the task will still be completed irrespective of the results).

Crimson Desert has plenty of Alchemy materials to find that will be required for Alchemy to produce various elixirs and materials with different purposes. Some of these recipes will need to be crafted on regular intervals, so you’ll need to stock up on the materials.

The massive size of Pywel means that it’s almost impossible to find exact locations for the materials. I have mentioned areas and estimated locations of all the materials that I have found. I will be adding more items to the table in the section below once I discover them on my adventures.

How to find all Alchemy materials in Crimson Desert

The exact location for almost every Alchemy material appears to be completely random. However, their zones/areas appear to be the same. This doesn’t change based on the items that I have tested with my buddy, who has been playing with his own setup. However, it’s safe to expect some location changes if the places I have explained in the table below don’t help you to find what you’re looking for.

Alchemy material	Approximate Location
Burrowing Toad	Typically found in ponds, you need to look in the muddy areas. I found one in the south of Hernand City near the Goldleaf Guildhouse.
Black Centipede	Look for rocky outgrowths in Hernand. I never found one in the daytime, so they might only spawn at night.
Bluewing Butterfly	They’re fairly common and can be found on flowers in Hernand City.
Banded Peacock Butterfly	I found it in the Black Forest, which can be found to the west of Hernand City.
Crimson Patch Butterfly	I found it once in Hernand and once in Celphade. Look for them in flowers (this is applicable for almost all types of butterflies I have discovered so far).
Centipede	Look for random rocky outgrowths in Hernand City. They appear to only spawn at night.
Camel Cricket	I found one near the Greymane Camp (along the main path).
Cockroach	I found the Cockroach at the same location as the Centipede in Hernand. However, it does appear to spawn during the day.
Coral Mushroom	This plant grows in Demeniss and Delesyia. I have found it in Demeniss, at several locations, but didn’t find it in Delesyia.
Diana Fritillary Butterfly	I also found this butterfly in the Black Forest, located to the west of Hernand City.
Firefly	Fireflies spawn at random locations all over Hernand City at night.
Hornet	They can be found in beehives. You have to destroy beehives to find them, but they will sting.
Grasshopper	You can find them in the forest areas in Hernand. They’re fairly common, and you can find them in the grass.
Long Horn	You’ll find deer in the wild in the Black Forest in Hernand City. You’ll need to hunt the deer and skin them to get the horn.
Dragonfly	Can be found in the forest areas around Hernand.
Lavender	Pretty commonly found in multiple areas in and around Hernand.
Mountain Moth	I have found it once in the Black Forest, and one near the Hook Ford in the north-east of Hernand City.
Oakwood Mushroom	An extremely common item that’s found around Hernand. You can also find them inside chests and barrels.
Marigold	One of the easiest materials to find, as it grows abundantly in the starter areas.
Pine Mushrooms	You can find them near large trees as they grow in moist areas. I found it near the Black Forest area in Hernand (not in the forest).
Peony	Found in the woodlands in Hernand.
White Lavender	Seems to spawn around Hernand, but not as common as Lavender.
Spider	Seems to spawn all around Hermand, and you need to look in the grass. They only seem to spawn at night.
Short Horn	This is an easy item to find, as it can be harvested from dead cows. You’ll find some along a main story quest where you will have to trace few missing cows of Bremer.
Red Croton	Look for high-altitude areas in Hernand, like the mountainside. You’ll find this item spawning in patches as a red-colored flower.
Rosemary	Very common material found all around Hernand.
Wild Silkworm Moth	I found it in a tree in the Black Forest region. I have also spotted it on trees throughout the Hernand region.
Sleepy Scarlet Butterfly	I found one in the grass near the town of Hernand Crossroads. I also spotted one in the Black Forest, but didn’t manage to get it.
Scorpion	To find the Scorpion, you’re likely going to have to reach the Crimson Desert (verified this with my buddy, and he didn’t seem to find it anywhere else).
Snail	I found one near the Greymane Camp and one at Hernand City. I seemed to find them both around water bodies (look in the grasses on the banks).

There are a bunch of materials (mostly butterflies) that I have yet to find. I will be updating their locations on the table above once I manage to find them.
