Summary of "Arknights Endfield (Wuling Arc) Main Story Quest - Chapter 2 (Full Playthrough)"
Arknights Endfield — Wuling (Wuo/Wholing) Arc
Main Story Quest — Chapter 2 (Full playthrough)
Overview
This chapter follows the Endman (player operative) and an Enfield team dispatched to Wuing (Wooling) City after reports of converging Bone Crushers and abnormal ether/blight tides. Wuing relies on Project Shironite (a proto‑originium derivative) to contain the blight, but its reserves are nearly exhausted. The team inspects defenses, helps deploy an Automated Industry Complex (AIC, “Forge of the Sky”) to mass‑produce Shironite (Sheronite), and works with local forces to repair infrastructure and repel angaloid threats. The chapter ends with Shironite production beginning and an uneasy cooperation formed between Enfield, Wuing, HAS, and local stockades.
Storyline (main beats)
- Enfield receives intel: Bone Crushers and abnormal ether/blight tides are converging on Wuing City; powerful minds are suspected (Nefareth implicated).
- The Endman and team — including Supervisor Pilica/Plica and Chen — are sent to Wuing to inspect and re-secure cooperation with local leadership (Viceroy / Tian Dwang / Jangfi).
- Wuing sits over a massive rift and relies on Project Shironite to contain blight tides. Shironite reserves are nearly exhausted.
- The team lands off-course, traverses a dangerous moving bamboo grove (grove nymphs / bamboo bugs), meets a mysterious traveler (Ardashir / Ardishir), and deals with hazards (acid water lamps, moving trees).
- They encounter the Ching Boscade stockade led by Tong Tong; initial hostility turns to cooperation after diplomatic role‑playing and local tests. Dark Mask, an Enfield-linked figure, also appears and helps.
- Locals and Enfield clear splatter/angaloid threats, repair water wheels and gates, and re-open routes to Wuing.
- In Wuing: meet the administrator (Tian/Tien Dwang), inspect the Tenra/Tiani pillar array that protects the city; bone crushers have destroyed some pillars and depth readings are unstable.
- Plan: deploy the Automated Industry Complex (AIC / “Forge of the Sky”) to mass‑produce Shironite and restore pillar arrays.
- Team helps run and troubleshoot the AIC: install pumps and relays, run the forge, synthesize Sheronite, and use it to reactivate flow control nodes and the blight-monitoring center.
- Multiple combat incidents (angaloid/landbreakers) and a monitoring center outage force rapid local action to contain blight and repair instruments.
- Ending: Shironite production begins; Enfield, Wuing, HAS, and the local stockade form an uneasy but hopeful cooperation to buy time against the blight and Nefareth’s moves.
Gameplay highlights, mechanics, and tips
Environmental puzzles / traversal
- Use local devices (powered rafts, Chiangu bureau pillars, guiding statues/lamps) instead of destroying scenery. Statue inscriptions hint to “return to illuminate the path” — use guiding lights.
- Watch for moving terrain (bamboo grove nymphs). Follow creature patterns and find fixed markers (pillars/statues) to reorient.
- Avoid hazards like acid‑spitting water lamps; use nearby pillars or mechanisms to open safe paths.
Combat and encounter tips
- Prioritize protecting core facilities (flow control nodes, monitoring center, AIC machinery). Enemies are drawn to these targets.
- If overwhelmed, pull back to safe locations (rafts, sealed areas) and regroup — don’t let angaloids reach key equipment.
- Use controlled engagement: distract or lead enemies away from infrastructure and handle them in smaller groups.
- Recruit local allies (stockade fighters, watch guards) temporarily by playing along diplomatically to secure help.
Technical / production workflows
- To open large gates: rotate bearings into continuous rotation. The team repurposes a retired jet drone (an arts unit) that converts liquids into an energy beam; the drone needs water/fuel to function.
- AIC / Shironite production sequence (stepwise):
- Deploy AIC core and “Forge of the Sky” on suitable ground with access to water and proper wind/power conditions.
- Place a fluid pump near an irrigation canal and attach a fluid supply unit (Enfield designs borrowed by Wuing).
- Provide temporary power and Shironite‑compatible relays/pylons to link to local infrastructure.
- Operate the Forge of the Sky to synthesize the first batch of Sheronite (proto‑originium derivative).
- Inject Sheronite into Shironite flow control nodes to revive offline pillars/arrays and purify nearby blight.
- Monitoring center restoration: repair core facilities, reboot systems after neutralizing angaloid threats; check sensors and recalibrate rods/cooling to restore temperature equilibrium.
Team / role usage
- Use specialized arts (Endman’s Aridium arts) to boost drones or devices when prompted.
- Balance tasks: leave some members to guard the AIC while others go to tactical hotspots (monitoring center, angaloid incursions).
- Diplomacy and local knowledge (Tong Tong, Dark Mask, stockade chiefs, watch guards) are valuable — gaining local trust can open routes and resources.
Narrative and strategic takeaways
- Resource scarcity (Shironite) is a major constraint — production via AIC is the strategic priority to stabilize defenses.
- Neutralizing enemies is not just combat: restoring infrastructure (gates, pumps, monitoring) is equally important to mitigate the blight.
- Cooperation between Enfield, Wuing leadership, HAS, and local stockades is essential; local buy‑in may require social tactics (acting, proving value, helping with repairs).
- The threat (Nefareth and bone crushers + unknown allies like Ardashir) is escalating; multiple fronts (blight, angaloids, political friction) mean time is limited — act quickly and prioritize Shironite output.
Concise objective step lists
Escaping the bamboo grove
- Observe grove nymph movement patterns.
- Locate guiding statues/pillars; activate guiding lights/hotline if available.
- Avoid cutting the bamboo; use existing Chiangu pillar facilities to navigate.
- Move along the opened path toward the reeds/raft exit.
Reopening flooded/blocked roads and gates
- Find nearby water wheels / pump mechanisms.
- Use fluid pumps and supply units to restore water flow to mechanisms.
- Use drones (with water/fuel) to produce an energy beam to rotate bearings if mechanical rotation is required.
Deploying the AIC / producing Shironite
- Choose a suitable plot and orbital drop coordinates.
- Install fluid pump and fluid supply unit; power the system with relays/pylons.
- Start the Forge of the Sky to synthesize Sheronite.
- Test Sheronite on a Shironite flow control node to reactivate pillar(s).
- Monitor depth readings and conserve Shironite where possible.
