Completing the mission will unlock the bronze trophy Apogee Explorer.
Walkthrough[]
You receive the OmniSoaker prior to entering the cave, which can be used to absorb certain liquids. Use it on the nearby creek and then use the gadget on the nearby hydroplant to cause it to fatten up, allowing you to jump the wall. When across, follow Alister's instructions and soak up the the Breegus nectar from the Breegus worm root, which can be used to distract a tetramite swarm. Take the opportunity to grab a Constructo mod in the side room before continuing.
Hydrate the next hydroplant, and use the nectar from the second worm root to make the tetramites attack the tentacle-like gate, causing it to retreat, to gain access to a Zoni. Alister explains it is voltan ivy, and can conveniently only be caused to retreat by tetramites. Continue using nectar to distract and lure the tetramites, including when you need to turn a bolt crank to raise another platform.
Follow Alister up the stairs to reach a Zoni Temple, making sure to smash the camo crates hidden behind a pillar, before entering the temple itself which starts a cutscene. The subsequent mission is "Return to Aphelion (Lumos)", which you can quickly complete by following Alister through his own exit.
The next mission is "Travel to Tombli Outpost, Planet Zanifar". Before beginning this, finish exploring the Korthos Sector, and also visit the Agorian Battleplex to save Qwark from the Agorians (if you have not yet already) and attempt the first championship, as it will not be possible to proceed far on Zanifar before completing the first Battleplex tournament.
