Before you start

  • Additional progression conditions apply; check the trader’s locked-task message in game.
  1. Reach the marked area on Ground Zero, Ground Zero 21

    Enter the specified task zone and check for the objective notification. A nearby landmark may be outside the trigger area.

    • Map: Ground Zero / Ground Zero 21.
  2. Retrieve Knossos Senior Managers Diary

    Check the pickup locations described in the objective. Extract with the item in quest inventory; a death before extraction loses it.

    • Map: Ground Zero / Ground Zero 21.
  3. Hand over Knossos Senior Managers Diary

    Use the trader’s hand-in control once the quest item is available. Collecting it alone does not finish the hand-in objective.
