Walkthrough of the mission “Rot or Burn”
How to start the quest
It should start automatically immediately after completing the previous quest of the chain called “Lying among the rusts”. But you can only take on its implementation after you increase your mastery level to at least rank 18.
After fulfilling the indicated condition, return to Kamnegrad and look for the guide allocated by Wildfire. They will be Hook. Although a little later Sampo will show up and say that he will be your guide.
Open the gate leading to Svarog's base
Soon you will be automatically transferred to a snowy location. Approach the lattice gate and watch a cutscene in which your company will try to open it, but it won't work because it requires special permissions.
How to get first level permission (correct answer)
The first car you need is in the right gorge. Approach her and speak. The robot will ask you who is the current champion of the combustion engine rap tournament. The correct one looks like this:
- Badrock 88 degrees.
How to get a second level permission (correct answer)
The traffic light you need is located nearby, to the right of the first robot. Approach him and talk to him. He will ask you which component to attach the microcrystalline block to. The correct one looks like this:
- Logical control center.

How to get third level permission
The next car is a little ahead. Talk to her. Unfortunately, she will not ask questions, but will almost immediately attack you in the company of other robots of the 28th level. If you have characters of level 25-30, you will quickly deal with them. We advise you to take Serval, as she will be able to break through the vulnerabilities of all opponents.

After collecting all the permissions, go ahead and open the second gate. Then watch a cutscene that tells you that Clara's permission is required to go inside.
How to find Clara in the vault
Return to Zaklepkograd and move to the Abandoned Market teleporter. Then walk forward to the quest marker. There, inspect the broken robot, which will tell you where Clara is.
Go back a bit, go up the stairs on the right and engage a level 29 Space Fire that is vulnerable to Physical, Frost, and Quantum damage. Against him, Clara and March 7 will show themselves well. Having dealt with the enemy, talk to Clara. Then return to the Svarog base.
Use the elevator to go down. Keep running after Clara. After leaving the site, engage in a fight with several robots. Then look for the girl next to the chest and the boiler.

Talk to her again and help fix the power supply. To do this, you will need to solve a small puzzle with terminals. The gif below shows the process of solving it. As a result, Clara will agree to take you to Svarog. Return to the gate and watch the new cutscene.

How to defeat Svarog
Before entering Svarog base 30 -level, make sure you have the right team. You will need characters that can deal electrical, wind and fire damage. We advise you to take Serval, Dan Heng, Asta and Natasha into the group.
Negotiations with Svarog will fail anyway, so you can choose any dialogue options. Once the battle starts, you need to focus on lowering his toughness stat as quickly as possible. To do this, you need characters that deal elemental damage, to which the boss has a weakness.

Once you break through the enemy's vulnerability and deal about 20-30% damage to him, a new cutscene will start. Natasha and Sampo will come to your aid. All your characters will be healed and have their energy restored.
After the second penetration of the vulnerability, Svarog will summon an auxiliary robotic arm that will grab one of your characters. You will need to destroy his durability as quickly as possible in order to free a teammate. Destroying the hand is optional.
We advise you to take a healer, for example, Natasha, to restore health to the characters that have been hit the most. When you break through Svarog's vulnerability for the third time, the fight will end.
Watch the long cutscene and learn the whole truth from Svarog. Then talk to Natasha. As a result, the quest will come to an end.
You will be rewarded with Shadow of Destruction, Light Pendant The Importance of Breakfast, 1000 Mastery XP, 80 Star Jades, 10 Adventure Logs, and 5 Condensed Aethers. Then the last mission of the chain called “We don't know how to say goodbye” will begin.
