Paws of the Apocalypse

Updated as of Version 1.3.0.63

"Living in this world can be lonely. Perhaps there is a way to find loyal and helpful canine and feline companions?"

## Notes Before Starting

The Pet Hub's teleporter circles are organized in a way that can be confusing and counterintuitive if you are attempting to understand how the teleporters are grouped together. At first glance, it might seem that the teleporters are grouped by the *region* the teleporters are located in due to the names of the circles (Forest, Winter, Desert, Ancient), but this is not the case. The teleporters are grouped by what the *interior* of their puzzle area looks like, which you have no way of knowing until you enter the teleporter itself. This means that the Winter circle will have teleporters in the desert regions of the map, and the Desert circle will have teleporters in the freezing regions of the map. **It is not possible to guess which circle a teleporter will belong to based on its region.** Instead, if you are missing a teleporter from a circle, interact with the object at the center of the circle for a hint on what region to look in.

Additionally, teleporters are located in all 19 regions of the main map, so several quests required to progress the main story (because they unlock the rest of the map) are required to complete this quest:

* Myth Tablets
* On The Track To Nowhere
* The First Expedition
* A Way Forward
* The Polaris Express
* Under and Out

## Steps

1. Activate the quest by resting at a campfire for the first time.
2. Investigate four doghouses. Reaching this quest stage will reveal all doghouses as "?" POIs on your map and mini-map, but you cannot filter your map view for only doghouses.
3. Enter the teleporter.
4. Dig at 1377º, 499º in Capernaum and enter the teleporter. Complete the puzzle dungeon inside.
5. Craft your first pet back at the Pet Hub. Use the teleporter at 1654º, 578º to return.
6. Dig up teleporters at the following locations, then complete their puzzle dungeons:
	* Canaveral 1481º, 554º
	* Hedgefield 1317º, 591º
	* Fairwood 1188º, 420º
7. Return to Osiris. Craft the Subterranean Sonar Toolkit at the Forge.
8. Install a Subterranean Sonar at the Capernaum Link Tower at 1391º, 527º.
9. Dig up the teleporter revealed at 1426º, 552º in Capernaum and complete the puzzle Dungeon inside.
10. Return to Osiris.
11. Complete the Forest teleporter circle. Teleporters can be completed in any order.
	* Hedgefield 1242º, 617º
	* Canaveral 1481º, 554º (already completed during "Dig and fetch" quest phase)
	* Canaveral 1573º, 583º
	* Borealis 1232º, 258º
	* Fairwood 1409º, 465º
	* Capernaum 1426º, 552º
12. Talk to Osiris. Enter the teleporter in the center of the Forest circle; it takes you to Arboretum on the Vivarium Island.
13. Obtain the key by fighting The Beast of Timber at 255º, 97º.
14. Return to Osiris.
15. Complete the rest of the circles and obtain a key from each region they unlock. They can be completed in any order.
	* Winter Circle: unlocks Frostarium; key obtained via fighting The Boss Beast of Frost at 107º, 63º.
		+ Sunburn Desert 895º, 641º
		+ Capernaum 1377º, 499º (already completed during "Dig and fetch" quest phase)
		+ Westport 522º, 380º
		+ Arcturus 1761º, 170º
		+ Frost Horn 423º, 242º

	* Desert Circle: unlocks Desolatum; key obtained via fighting Boss Beast of Desolation at 216º, 144º.

		+ Vulcan 166º, 420º
		+ Fairwood 1188º, 420º
	* Ancient Circle: unlocks Terrarium; key obtained via fighting Boss Beast of Terra at 255º, 138º.
		+ Solaris 395º, 747º
		+ Central 810º, 460º
		+ Hibernus 1017º, 122º
		+ Frore 869º, 127º
		+ Narrows Vale 1156º, 623º
		+ Everglade 1562º, 853º
16. Return to Osiris with all four keys.
17. Enter the teleporter; you are now at the center of the Vivarium Nexus. Use all four keys to unlock the doors leading up to the elevator.
18. Enter the elevator. Investigate the room, then interact with the mainframe.
19. Though it appears you have a choice, you actually do not; in order to complete the quest, you must comply with Osiris's wish and authorize the upload.
	* After you have authorized the upload and watched the cutscene, you gain access to a side room with the Forge where you can craft this quest's rewards, the Material Processing Accelerator and the Pocket Pet.

### Notes

1. ↑ If you are doing this quest on a save where you have already destroyed a majority of the objects in the world, doghouses are *supposed* to respawn with this quest. Occasionally, though, they do not. Doghouses on other maps (namely, the DLC maps) cannot be investigated for this quest either.
2. ↑ While the quest instructs you to install the sonar at Capernaum's Link Tower, this step of the quest will be progressed by installing the Sonar at *any* Link Tower.
3. ↑ Again, digging up and completing *any* teleporter, not just the one in Capernaum, will satisfy this quest phase. You can even do it before installing a Sonar.
