Ancient Footsteps Mission Tips & Tricks
3. Watch Your Radar Indicator To Look For Runes

The runes will be on walls so they're pretty easy to spot. Activate the rune once you spot one. Collect 6 runes.
5. Be Sure To Check Arrow on Radar Indicator

Some runes in this area can be pretty hard to spot. Check the arrow on your radar indicator to see if the rune is above or below you. If the arrow is pointing up, the rune is above you, and vice versa.
8. Fly Through Attunement Points As Fast As You Can

Upon activation of the vault, green spherical objects will appear throughout the area. Fly through these as fast as you can, since failing to collect these on time will reset the vault.
9. Simply Stand Next To The Vault and Defend

Simply defend the area until Attunement Progress bar is complete. Be careful of the Worker Skorpions though as their self destruct attack can cause significant acid damage.
