Scaldings of Utjug Walkthrough
Follow Crowe to the Monitoring Room

Scaldings of Utjug kicks off immediately after Counterstrike Brewing. Follow Crowe up the stairs into the control room, where you'll learn what the Utjug Order is. Let the conversation run its course, then you're free to move out.
Open the Rolling Gate and Go to the Lab
Before pulling the lever on the rolling gate, check your immediate left. A White Prism is sitting right there. Grab it first. Then use the lever to open the gate and head through.
Navigate the Conveyor Belts

This is the longest stretch of Scaldings of Utjug. Three conveyor belt sections stand between you and the lab, each one guarded by pressurized steam jets. The approach is the same across all three: use the moving crates on the belt as cover to slip past the jets safely.
Steam Jets Knock You Back!
You won't take damage if the Steam Jets hit you, but you will be knocked back.
How to Pass the Third Conveyor Belt
The first two conveyor belts are easy to get through since all you need to do is take cover beside the crates, but the third conveyor belt will require you to open a switch first. After getting off the second conveyor belt, head downstairs through the broken fence, turn left, and you'll see the control station for the conveyor belt. Turn it on and don't forget to grab the White Prism beside it!
Scaldings of Utjug Puzzle Solution

After getting past the conveyor belts, you'll have to solve an Originium Circuitry Puzzle next. The solution is simple: Fill in the grid, leaving only the bottom-left and top-right squares empty. Rotate the pieces as needed. Once both are placed correctly, the gate opens. Go through the opened gate
Defeat Landbreakers and Rescue the Crew

Four Landbreakers are surrounding a trapped worker at the top of the stairs. Take them all out to trigger a cutscene. You'll free the first missing crewmate and pick up the authorization keycard.
Find a Way Into the Lab

Your next task is to get the signal emitter from Clavell. So head to the gate and pull the lever to open it. Go through and follow the objective marker. A few Landbreakers are scattered along the way; defeat them. When a fallen beam blocks the forward path, take the stairs to the right.

Jump up the stacked boxes to reach a grated walkway and follow it to a drop-off. Jump down and head north. There's a fork here: the stairs to the right lead to a Memo and a Blue Chest if you want to detour. To push forward, go straight and jump up the boxes to reach another conveyor belt.
Running Against the Belt
This belt moves in the opposite direction you're traveling. But just like the previous ones, all you need to do is take cover on the crates as you move forward.

At the end of the belt, turn left and enter the pipe. Grab the Aurylene and turn left, then turn right through the short junction pipe. Drop into the lab to trigger a cutscene with Clavell, the second missing crewmate.
Scan for the Signal Emitter

After the cutscene, open the rolling gate using the lever to its right, then step inside and clear the Landbreakers waiting on the other side. With them down, press R to activate the scanner. The signal emitter is on a box next to a White Prism. Pick it up. There's also a chest on the back wall of this room. Open it before you leave.
Give the Signal Emitter and Keycard to Crowe

Open the rolling gate using the lever, then follow the objective marker to where you first met Crowe. A cutscene triggers, prompting you to hand over the signal emitter and keycard. Submit the items to Crowe and that will finish up Scaldings of Utjug.
