TASK Master Walkthrough

Find Order Pod

# Walkthrough
1
Once you've accepted the quest, head to Mirehome, southeast of Idolator's Noose. The Order pod will be located on top of a ruined building.
2 Kilo will then instruct you on how to open the pod. You must follow her instructions quickly, as each command has a 4-6 second timer.

Note that Kilo will give trick commands, such as “don't pull the lever.” In those cases, do nothing and wait a moment for the next command. There is also a difference between pressing and smacking the button. If it's the latter, use your melee to hit the button.

I don't understand why, but step 8 "Remove the power core" immediately fails the sequence when I remove the core from the top-right slot. I know I'm doing the step correctly.
