Rescue Aza in the Decomissioned Autonomous Extractorium

# Walkthrough
1
During On the Trail of the Traitor, you'll need to go to the N-Ray Range, where you'll have to pass through the Decomissioned Autonomous Extractorium.
2
From the Zyranium Manufactory VII, fast travel to Alexandra Station. Head northwest, and continue past the first building you'll see. Follow the road until you reach the Extractorium building.
3
Entering through the door at the right side of the building you'll immediately overhear Aza yelling angrily at her captors, triggering the quest The Dawn of a Glorious Betrayal being mentioned. Alternatively, if you go in through the front door, Aza's quest will be mentioned if you attempt to exit.
4
Clear all the enemies in the building. Afterward, head up the stairs where you can find Aza locked up in a rooom on the second floor.
5
On the upper floor, the walkway is cut off; you'll have to jump to get to the other side or go around to the left.
6
Speak with Aza and agree to take her with you to the N-Ray Range.

Kill All the Renegade Glorious Dawn Cultists at the N-Ray Range

Kill All the Cultists at N-Ray Range

Continue the objective of On the Trail of the Traitor and bring Aza with you to the N-Ray Range. Killing all the Dawn cultists in this area will complete this objective.

Note: If you choose to let Aza torture Victor when confronting him, you'll unlock an additional dialogue with Hierarch Ziegler later. (Also Requires Speech 5)

Should You Spare or Kill Victor Clemens?

Find the Dawn Communication Device

Step-by-step Walkthrough
1
After you have cleared all the Dawn cultists and confronted Victor, upon exiting the maintenance hatch and returning to the room with the elevator, Aza will mention that the leader of the renegades was not there. You'll need to find a communication device to trace him.
2
Ignore the elevator; instead, exit the room through the door on your right. Go past the stairs and head for the room located below the walkway.
3
Once there, examine the communication device. Aza will inform you that based on Ziegler's report he is in Paradise Island.

Kill Hierarch Ziegler and the Remnants of the Renegade Cultists

Step-by-step Walkthrough
1
Return to the Incognito and go to Eden, then fast travel to Excogitation Chapel. From the chapel head north until you find a building surrounded by Dawn renegades.
2
Kill all the renegades, and then climb up to the top of the building where you'll find Hierarch Ziegler.
3 Convincing Aza to Spare Ziegler
Let Aza talk to Ziegler. If you let Aza torture Victor and have Speech 5, there will be an additional dialogue about her feeling guilty.

However, regardless of your dialogue choices, you will end up fighting and killing him; you cannot spare Ziegler. Once he's dead, Aza will speak to you about her situation. This completes Aza's quest.
