1	Pass through the cave from where the cutscene drops you off from the previous subquest. Follow the path inside that leads upwards.
2	After reaching the exit, Aalto formally welcomes you to the Black Shores after his initial surprise to your arrival. This marks the true beginning of Chapter 1 Act 8: To The Shore's End.
3	Follow the path to go into the Black Shores headquarters. After a comms call from Youhu gets cut short, you have the option to continue the call by activating another Resonance Beacon nearby, or head straight to a robot that will upload the data you obtained from the previous subquest.
4	Look for Monica, found further up the path in the Black Shores headquarters.

10	After a short cutscene, head to the new marked location called the Eye of Asteria to repeat the process. There is a Resonance Beacon that can be activated along the way.
11	After getting cleared by the Tethys Terminal, activate a Grappling Shooter to get up to the anchor.
12	Once on the blue platforms, the point of view will change, and movement will now be similar to that of a side-scrolling platformer. Moving left and right is the best way to travel while this is in effect.
13	Once at the top, abnormal Tacet Discords will spawn. Defeat them to be able to cleanse the corrupted core on the anchor.
14	After clearing the anchor, head to the marked TD observatory. Make use of the nearby Grapple Shooter to travel there faster via Grappling Hook.
15	Upon arriving, defeat a couple of abnormal TDs, and look for the observatory keeper named Zhenjian.
16	Repeat steps 12 and 13 on this part as it is essentially the same: go up to the top of the anchor, defeat abnormal TDs, and cleanse the corrupted core.
17	After the cutscene upon cleansing the last anchor, talk to Aalto. Afterwards, head towards the Stargate that appeared in the middle of the lake.
