Once Human - Cradle Guide
Cradle Overrides in Once Human let you deck out your character with powerful passive buffs that elevate their abilities to new heights. See how to unlock the cradle, how to unlock cradle nodes, the different cradle overrides, and what cradle overrides are in this guide.

How to Unlock the Cradle

Follow the Main Quest

Once Human - Cradle Override Unlock.png
Unlocking the Cradle is straightforward if you stick to the main questline. Progress through the story until you reach Meyer's Market in Broken Delta during Murmurs in the Forest task. There, you will have a chat with Maxie. After your conversation, the Cradle feature will be unlocked, opening up a world of powerful passive buffs and character enhancements.

How to Unlock Cradle Nodes

Defeat Bosses in Monoliths

Boss Location
Ravenous Hunter Monolith of Greed in Dayton Wetlands
Treant Gaia Cliff Monolith in Broken Delta
Arachsiam Mirage Monolith in Iron River
Shadow Hound Monolith of Thirst in Chalk Peak

To equip Cradle Overrides, you need to unlock Cradle Nodes. These nodes are your special slots for placing Overrides, with a total of 8 nodes to fill with powerful passives.

You start with just one node when you first unlock the Cradle, but you can gain more by defeating Bosses (or Great Ones) in Monoliths. Keep pushing through the main quests, and you will find yourself taking on these formidable foes to expand your Cradle's potential. Each boss you defeat will unlock you a single node in your cradle.

Clear Securement Silos

Securement Silo - Phi East of Greywater Industrial Zone in Iron River 25
Securement Silo - Alpha Within Alpha Institute in Chalk Peak 35
Securement Silo - Theta North of Blackfell Oil Fields within Iron Sands 45

You can also unlock Cradle Nodes by clearing Securement Silos. These silos are essentially dungeons brimming with challenges—and danger. Packed with formidable Rosetta units, these areas require strategy and skill to navigate. Conquer the silos, and you will unlock Cradle Nodes to boost your Meta's burgeoning power.
