Hello it's Ricardo and welcome back to
elite dangerous beyond I am in the
Sanofi kayuu - f b 44 - fork system and
there is on the screen it is the
residents of the guardian beacon that
has been uncovered with the 3.2 chapter
3 update of beyond now this Guardian
beacon does represent a new in-game
artifact and gives you a nice set piece
and there you can see it all in system
dormant it's been laying there for years
but I bet you had a right pounding over
the past couple of hours anyway so this
Guardian beacon you approach it it's all
dead and derelict soon as you get close
these pylons start coming to life and
there's three of these around the main
structure looking at the structure it's
a nice place to be you know it's very
it's full of atmosphere it's very you
know it's in tune with the other
guardian tech that we've seen in the
planets I think personally you've got
that quintessential sort of like cyan
detailing or aquamarine detailing around
around the entire structure it's very
angular it looks like someone just
plucked it directly off a guardian
planet plunked it in space Guardian tech
you know you cannot seeing it here
there's no way you can not distinguish
that as being gardening now of course
when the trailer came out we thought
well is it a capital ship it's a space
station is it something else
and obviously we now know it's a beacon
so here are the pylons and the pylons
have got a nice glowy bit of light
coming out of them and you can tell that
even though these pylons come up and if
you try and focus in with your your ship
scanner they count up as private
shooting them will activate them just
like we've shot the pylons
on
the planet's surface at the Guardian
ruins and those Guardian sites where
we've got additional blueprints here
exactly the same you go over to the
Guardian energy pylon get the lasers out
get your mini guns out whatever you're
gonna shoot it with shoot it give it a
good shooting it activates activate them
all this main structures going to
activate to quench you've activate the
main structure you're gonna scan it once
after you scan it you're gonna pick up
an ancient key and we're gonna go
through the whole process now so here we
go see we're lining up we can see the
other pylons in the distance as well
again energy pylon commit was private
they could have put something a little
bit different in there personally as you
can see from the outside the main beacon
structure you know it's a nice place to
be
and we don't say this enough to frontier
but well done well done in my eyes
graphically visually stunning a real
nice in-game set piece that you're going
to revisit over and over and over again
to get more Guardian blueprints and I
think it's a really good place and a
good way of getting those blueprints as
opposed to just going to a planet and
grinding away different type of grind
though you can have to go out here go to
this space station go through this ice
boat it'll pallava activate the beacon
get beacon get the key off you go to the
new Guardian site job done
so there you go that's mine views on it
I think it's nice I think it's great
what do you think put it in the comments
interested to hear your thoughts on this
and whether you think this this aspect
what it adds to the game
I mean I think it adds a little bit of
depth not a lot but you know it's an
in-game artifact like I said which i
think is beneficial to the entire
Guardian process and it does tell a good
story so shooting that main pylon
activates it
activate the remaining two pylons and
the central structure is going to
activate it as its acting activate as
well and then all holy hell breaks loose
for another set piece I'm using this
beam laser I've got kitted into that
into the ASP again say once an old
charge you know it all activates and you
go to the same process on every pilot
now these beacons hardly represent that
much of a challenging puzzle I mean it
wasn't too much of a stretch to go
around and say hey you're going to shoot
these and it's going to activate
now as we can see the beacon is waking
up all that electrical sort of charged
light and look at that as a set piece
now this to me speaks of ghostbusters
that sort of emanating wave of energy
from the center but then it also speaks
to me really from Independence Day
terrible film and the second one was
absolutely horrendous but all a bit good
fun tongue-in-cheek but that's of alien
weapon you know I don't know I see that
there and of course you've got an orb
that you can interact with you can get
over there in the scan now when scan
this orb be very careful don't get too
close because it will retract back into
the main body of the beacon and you
could find yourself trapped and incur a
little bit of damage but you can get
within scanner range you know 300 meters
that sort of that sort of area right
scan it hey why not once you've done all
that the entire systems gonna close up
so back off make sure you've got some
cargo space as well because it's then
gonna furnish you with a guardian
ancient key which you can then use back
at the new Guardian sites to Canda more
blueprints then as its entire pile on
and beacon has come to life you see
we've scanned it it's starting to you
know close up again now we've still got
that electrical discharge around things
are starting to rotate constrict
themselves back into their forma form
and again it's a great set piece in game
what all this serves nothing but it's a
visual treat and I think you know
sometimes we get lost in the spec the
spectacle that is elite dangerous it's a
very graphically wonderful game and here
you can see this is the ancient Guardian
key that has now been released after you
shot the pylons you've scanned the orb
you've escaped the thing constricting
back on itself you're gonna go over
there you're gonna get you
cargo scoop out you're gonna scoop it up
now I had a bit of trouble doing that
that might just be me because I was
trying to do a video at the same time
and things were happening but you know
you can knock it off it's little
pedestal in the center of this in the
center of this beaker and then make it a
little bit easier for you to pick up I
found it quite difficult to pick up
especially in the ASP at this stage but
knocking it out into you know just away
from the main structure I was able to
scoop that up with very little trouble
now as we mentioned this ancient key is
what's going to be used to unlock more
blueprints when you get to the Guardian
sites that have now been discovered also
in the Sanofi region of space and I'll
be covering those in another video so
anyway thank you very much for watching
I've been Ricardo and this has been the
Guardian beacon that has been included
in the game in elite dangerous beyond
chapter 3 the beacon like I said is a
great set piece shoot the pylons scan
that or pick up the key off you go to
the guardian sites and do a little bit
of Guardian grinding there's more than
likely going to be another patch to come
with this update with it if they start
to fix certain aspects in the game a lot
of people are talking about that on the
streams but anyway we'll cover that in
other videos thanks very much for
