Alien Arches

Read at own risk
This article contains unmarked spoilers. Players new to the game would want to avoid or be cautious toward this article.

Alien Arches are pieces of Precursor technology. They resemble large gateways and have a green, semi-transparent portal within. The Prawn Suit and the Seamoth have the ability to enter Alien Arches.

When the player enters an Alien Arch, it plays an SFX similar to when a Warper warps the player.

Arch Types

Master

The Master Arches have pedestals and must be powered using an Ion Cube. They are connected to a slave Arch.

Slave

The Slave Alien Arches do not have pedestals, and their corresponding master Alien Arches must be powerd before these gates can be used.

Ceremonial or religious role

It may be prudent to search the area for further examples of alien architecture and technology.

Scans indicate this warp gate has not been active since the facility was abandoned. It likely served as an access point to the surface of the planet. It is much too small for the emperor specimen to pass through, but may accommodate a juvenile specimen.
