At The Mountains of Madness
Note: In order to complete this quest you will need to be in a three man team. This has to do with after you use the injection. Also, if you have multiple characters from your account going it is reported that it takes longer to do (since there seems to be a delay of when they can start their journey). Also, you will want to keep a low encumbrance when entering as it will fill fast.

WARNING: Be very careful with your steps. You will run out of oxygen quickly. I suggest not going below 25% on oxygen before using the tank. If you do reach 25% and are out of emergency oxygen tanks, return to the Lunar Landing Note: Site to refill the tank. The PINK point will take you back.
Note: You can only use the GPS every 3 minutes.
Note: You can only use the GPS every 3 minutes.
Directions:
Upon Arrival E Use LRV Tracks Path (will take aprox 18 mins) YOU START AT THE PINK POINT This is where it gets tricky. The Rover is not a set distance away or in a specific place. The GPS will give you random directions. Be careful though, you will run low on oxygen if you are not. You lose oxygen over both time and steps. So even if you don't move, I am pretty sure you oxygen will drop. Also keeping in mind that you can use the GPS every three minutes. Expect to need to use an emergency oxygen tank if you have one. Some people find the Rover in the first 10 updates and others use well over 30 directions. But when you do find the Rover, when you use the GPS it will tell you so and the Rover will appear. Use the Rover (will take aprox 2 hrs and 6 mins) |

Directions for Lunar Site for Crystal Readers
Starting Point is DARK GREY
You will need to go to EACH and every crystal until you have three "named" crystals. If a crystal is part of the three it will have a full name, if it is not it will simply read as "strange crystal"
As you locate the Crystals be sure to use the spectrometer to ensure that the crystals will show up on the terminal. The terminal is something that those on the Red Planet need to use to find out the order of the crystals.
When you complete this task, simply use the starting point to return to the Moon Base
