The FIrst Descendant has plenty of different missions for players to explore. While the bulk will be replaying previous main quests to farm all the components they need for the very best gear. Magister’s Hidden Assets will task players with locating the various Encrypted Vaults scattered throughout the Sterile Land location.
Using the right item to open these vaults will then give them a new challenge to overcome before getting the rewards that will count towards completing the Sub Quest. There will be many things for you to do before this quest, and you can always return to it later.

How To Complete Magisters Hidden Assets
Players will need to locate and use Encrypted Vaults to claim the rewards inside of them. Encrypted Vaults can come in different colors, each requiring a different Code Analyzer to open. These can come in the form of a Code Analyzer, Precision Code Analyzer, or an Ultra-Precision Code Analyzer. The first of these three options provides the easiest challenge and will count towards the progression of this Sub Quest, making it the preferred choice among the 3 kinds of vaults.Players will obtain this Sub Quest by progressing through the Main Quests line.
When a player approaches a vault, it will tell them which one of these Code Analyzers they will need. Once you accept, the Code Analyzer will be consumed, and a minigame will begin. Players will need to press the specified button prompt while a pointer is within a highlighted space. Players will have a limited amount of time to get numerous successful button presses.
On success, the vault will open and give the player various rewards. These are the rewards required to complete the Magisters Hidden Assets Sub Quest, but can be repeated even after the quest has been completed. Players can get Code Analyzers by defeating enemies, so missions with plenty of enemies will increase the odds of getting them over others.
The First Descendant: How To Get Repton (& How To Use It)
Materials are a very important part of upgrading and unlocking items in The First Descendant. One of the first ones you will find is Repton.
How To Find Encrypted Vaults
If you find an Encrypted Vault, do not expect it to be there the next time you return, as they can spawn in different locations. Players will be able to make use of a special scanner in the game — for console players, this will be pressing down on the right analog stick. The scanner will make a specific sound when it is used. If you are looking in the direction of an Encrypted Vault, the sound will be different. Follow this new sound, and it will lead you in the right direction — and also highlight the Encrypted Vault once you get close enough.
