Requirements
Mister PeeksField Upgrade
ARC-XD
Collect the Paintings
You must collect three paintings found within the map and hang each one up on the T1 Director's Office wall. You can only hold one painting at a time, so you'll need to make three trips to the T1 Director's Office. Each time you place a painting, you will be given 500 Points.

Painting Locations



Obtain the Safe Key
Head to T2 Dark Entity Containment, and in the lower area where the Ammo Cache is located, there is a small hole in the fence near one of the staircases that you'll need to drive your ARC-XD through until you find a purple aether crystal that you must detonate on top of.


Upon detonation, an LT53 Kazimir-like portal will spawn and start moving up the Forsaken containment, spawning in a bunch of Aether Crystals that you must destroy, dropping the Safe Key that you can interact with to pick.


Open the Safe
Ensure you are slightly geared for this next step as there is a lockdown you will have to complete that will spawn special and elite enemies.
With the Safe Key, head to the T1 Director's Office and activate the Mister Peeksin front of the painting behind the main desk, knocking down the painting and revealing the safe, which you can interact with to open, starting a lockdown.

This lockdown will spawn a bunch of zombies, some Doppelghast, and an HVT Elder Disciple that, once defeated, will complete the lockdown, opening the safe, and allowing you to collect the Aether Blade along with some intel.

Only one person in the game will be able to obtain the Aether Blade.
