Agree to Investigate the Anchorhold
Upon going back to the Incognito after finishing The Midpoint to the Endpoint, Marisol will ask for your audience and inform you that she found a lead on who was tampering with Anais' cataclysmic research.
Her lead is that someone from the Anchorhold in Golden Ridge's Alexandra Monastery took the research. Agree to her request to start the quest, and the Alexandra Monastery will be marked on your map.

Investigate the Monastery Anchorhold
| 1 |  After travelling to the Alexandra Monastery, go back to the Anchorhold. Going inside should prompt a dialogue with Marisol that states that either of the two Anchorites is responsible. |
|---|---|
| 2 |  The entrance to the sealed off room is on the wall farther to the left side of the podium. It is hidden and should be revealed by crouching near it. |
| 3 |  After entering, interact with everything that should be examinable: ① the data log, ② the note on the blackboard, ③ and Anchoress Chao's body. Doing so should allow you and Marisol to deduce that Anchoress Brun and Chao had an altercation based on the Order losing its way, the frequent visitations of Exemplar Southworth about Anais' work, and the mention of an old research station that Marisol is far too aware of: Point Obviation. |
Venture to Point Obviation
| 1 |  After deducing that Brun is in Point Obviation, Marisol will mark the coordinates in the Incognito, allowing travel to a new location in Eden. Upon landing, you will come upon Exemplar Southworth, who put the idea of continuing Anais' research into Anchoress Brun. They will eventually allow you access in the hopes of helping with the experiment. |
|---|---|
| 2 |  As you ascend the highest floor, you will come into audience with Anchoress Brun. Before talking to her, it is recommended to access the terminal on the right side of the office to get some more context about what's happening. Depending on your actions during the Imprisoned by the Riddles of Reality and On the Trail of the Traitor quests, her introductory dialogue with you will change. |
| Special Dialogue | |
|
Brun: You saw the disputation, though. Tell me, what did you think? You read it, yes?
・  Professor: It suffered a willful absence of both title sheet and Oxford commas. Remind me of the rest? |
|
| 3 |  The conversation should conclude after Anchoress Brun discusses how The Order's current ways will not allow them to see through the Universal Equation in their lifetime. Furthermore, she says that Anais is currently in the facility, and we should assist them in their experiment. |
| 4 |  After that, you should get access to the 3rd floor of Point Obviation where Anais is stationed at. At first, Marisol questions why she is continuing her cataclysmic work, but Anais is devising a way to sabotage the experiment from within. After hearing out her plan, she then tasks you to sabotage four crucial stations of the experiment found on the second floor in a manner that will not be noticed, both in results and method. |
Sabotage Anais' Experiment
| Step-by-step Walkthrough | |
|---|---|
| 1 | As you will not have access to the second floor, you will have to open the vents on the left side of the room with the Maintenance Hatch Access Key to get into the stations. You will then have the option to start modifying the stations in any order. You can successfully sabotage the experiment without having Science, Hack, and Medical at 9. To do so, check out the best actions by clicking here. |
| 2 | Starting with the closest one, the Alta Vitae configuration. The two components can be found in the areas specified on the clip above. After getting both, you will have three options to mix the Alta Vitae, each with varying success in being unnoticeable. After that, send your newly made mixture to the tube. |
| Choices | |
|
・
 Medical 9: Combine the samples into something particularly strange. (Highest Success)・Combine the samples, er, the best you can. (Medium Success) ・Do not combine the samples and send the Unconfigured Alta Vitae Sample. (Failure) |
|
| 3 | After that, proceed to the adjacent room to recalibrate the Laboratory Macrowave Chamber or oscillate the power output to slightly meddle with the elemental properties of the micro universe. Additionally, you can see a weird-looking rock near the terminals for use during the sabotage. |
| Choices | |
|
・
 Science 9 or Professor: Slightly rotate the exquisitely well-calibrated amalgamation of elements by .01 degrees counterclockwise. (Highest Success)・Weird-Looking Rock: Replace the exquisitely well-calibrated amalgamation of elements with a weird-looking rock. (Medium Success) ・Remove the exquisitely well-calibrated amalgamation of elements from the chamber. (Lowest Success) |
|
| 4 | Return to the vents after sabotaging the Macrowave Chamber, and then proceed to change or lock-in the settings of the Zyranium Flow. Reading the datalog will inform you of the minimum parameters of the flow, meaning you will either have to maintain or exceed 500p/m to achieve positive results. The starting flow is 900 p/m, and each lever has a corresponding amount that you should subtract from. If you were able to sabotage the previous two sections, then it is recommended to leave the settings alone for the best results. You can also do multiple levers, but that is only if you are aiming to fully make it obvious that it is tampered with. |
| Choices | |
|
POV: Facing the Doorway
・Middle lever = 200p/m (Highest Success) ・Right lever = 400p/m (Medium Success) ・Left lever = 500p/m (Failure) |
|
| 5 | Lastly, you will have configure the N-Ray failsafes. Reading the datalog will say that the failsafe found on the vents is the least likely to be detected if something goes wrong, informing you that you should interact with the lever in the room to properly sabotage. Like with the Zyranium Flow section, it is recommended to leave this part alone if you were able to successfully sabotage the first two experiments. |
| Choices | |
|
・Disable Room Lever (Success) ・Disable Vent Lever (Failure) |
|
| 6 | After modifying these four sections, return to Anais and access the terminal to purge the room's oxygen and initiate the experiment. Anais will then inform you that you should stop Anchoress Brun from restarting the experiment, either by talking her down or by outright killing her by tampering with the ventilation system. You will only know the results of whether or not you successfully sabotaged the experiment when you talk to Anchoress Brun. |
Best Outcome w/o Skill Checks
| Alta Vitae | Combine the samples, er, the best you can. |
|---|---|
| Macrowave | Replace the exquisitely well-calibrated amalgamation of elements with a weird-looking rock. |
| Zyranium | Lock in the settings w/o changing the flow. |
| N-Ray | Lock in the settings w/o changing the failsafes. |
As Anais stated, it is best that there are only a few modifications to alter the experiment so as not to show that the stations have been tampered with. To successfully reach the best outcome for the sabotage even without the specified skills, follow the steps labelled above.
Stop Anchoress Brun's Plans
After being briefed by Anais, you will now inform Anchoress Brun that the experiment has failed. You will then have a chance to dissuade Anchoress Brun from continuing the experiments by fighting her with logic, or to kill her outright and forcefully stop the project.
Dissuade Anchoress Brun
| 1 | Seer Bujold was very thorough, but there were... some issues. |
|---|---|
| 2 | The experiment was deeply flawed on a conceptual level. |
| 3 | Spawning a faux mini-universe to solve the Universal Equation doesn't make a lick of sense. |
| 4 | Anchoress Chao doubted your plans. Her final words claimed you'd been swayed by flattery. |
| 5 | Are you sure? Because our predictions imply both are inevitable if you pursue this. |
| 6 | [Lie] You think it's brilliant because you fail to grasp all of its intrinsic errors. |
| 7 | See? Your own data supports everything I've been saying. |
| 8 | [Marisol speaks] By all means! |
To successfully dissuade Anchoress Brun from going through with the experiment even without high Science or Speech, you should have perfectly sabotaged the experiment and follow the dialogue choices stated above.
Doing this will surprise Anais and appraise you for Marisol's change in methodology. This will give the ending where Marisol changes her ways for the better and gets more associates before her death.
Kill Anchoress Brun
If you were unable to convince Anchoress Brun that the study will fail, or if you just want to head straight for murder, you will have to access the hatch on the left side of the room. This should allow you to traverse the side of the building and connect the ventilation between the test chambers.
Doing this will lead to Anais being disappointed in Marisol's actions, defining Marisol's ending where she goes back to her old ways of dealing with extra factors.
Leave Point Obviation Unscathed
After announcing that the experiment is through and descending the elevator, Exemplar Southworth will stop and accuse you for sabotaging the experiment. You can then either convince her not to attack, or you can defend yourself.
Spare Exemplar Southworth
If you want to spare Exemplar Southworth, you will need either 20 points in Speech or Science. This is quite an investment in skill points, so only a few will be able to convince her not to attack.
Kill Exemplar Southworth
If you are not able to convince her, the default option is to fight your way through, as all of the Order units you went by earlier will be hostile. During this fight, do not forget to loot Southworth for her Unique Weapon: the Aggravator!
Say Farewell to Anais
After taking the lift back down to the Landing Pad, Anais will be waiting for you. She will exchange parting words with Marisol, and then give you Marisol's Advanced Mod Kit regardless of the results. Depending on your actions earlier, her dialogue will change to either be surprised or disappointed in Marisol.
Endpoint's End Choices
Kill or Dissuade Anchoress Brun
This decision is the most important one during the quest as it ultimately decides both Marisol's exclusive perk and her ending screen after you finish the game.
Killing Anchoress Brun will result in Marisol going back to her old ways and gaining the Energy Storage perk, while sparing her will give Marisol the push to change her methods, as well as the Energy Dispersal perk.
Kill or Dissuade Exemplar Southworth
Killing or dissuading Exemplar Southworth does not have a big impact on the story. However, you will lose out on the Aggravator if you do not kill her
Additionally, you will gain different dialogue with Marisol back at the Incognito depending on your choice in this matter.
