Orbitals Chapter 8 Walkthrough: Death All Around!

After you have defeated the Drone Carrier and received the first Reactor Cassette back in Orbitals Chapter 7, the next chapter 8, begins with the main objective: Find the Reactor Cassette. You will start in your ship, and you will notice a red ship in front of you. Move towards that ship. On top of it, you will see a green button. Use the Force Cannon to open the way and keep moving forward.

Opening Path

Keep moving forward on this path, and soon a cutscene will play. Once the cutscene ends, you will come across another closed red gate. Open it using the Force Cannon. Take a right, and you will see another red gate. Keep moving through these gates until you reach an area where the defense mechanism activates and starts targeting your ship.

There are three turrets in this area, one directly in front and one on each side. Each turret has a protective shield around it. You need to bring down the shield first using your Thunder Missile before you can deal any damage to the turret itself. Shooting a turret without first destroying its protective layer will result in no damage.

Take down all three turrets this way, then go through the airlock in front of you. Keep moving toward the yellow marker and park your ship. Your next sub-objective is to Exit the Ship. Exit and use your boosters to reach the airlock in front of you.

Finding the Second Reactor Cassette

A cutscene will play. You will find the second Reactor Cassette on another being’s head, who tells you he will trade the cassette for a new engine. This completes your objective, Find the Reactor Cassette, and your next objective becomes Find the Engine.

Objective: Find the Engine

Head back to your ship and get in. Your sub-objective will prompt you to take your respective seats, so get into position. Once seated, look for the green light and head toward it. Go through the speed portal, and a cutscene will play.

After the cutscene, you will find yourself near a ship wreckage. Move toward the yellow marker. At the end of the path, there is a metallic door that opens automatically as your ship approaches. Go through it, and a cutscene will play. Your next sub-objective is to enter the Forge.

Sub-Objective: Enter the Forge

On the left side you will spot the door you need to enter, which the yellow marker will also be pointing toward. Park your ship, pick up your recommended tools, the Scrap Hook and Beam Cannon, and exit the ship. Enter the airlock in front of you to enter the Forge, completing this sub-objective and ending Chapter 8. The next chapter begins: Let’s Get Them That Engine!
