"Over the weekend, players were able to progress the ARG far enough to reveal new information about Cryo Archive, the "endgame" level of Bungie's sci-fi shooter that is set on the actual Marathon ship first featured in the original '90s trilogy of games. To hop into this yet-to-be-unlocked area, players will need to reach rank 25 and have "established connections" with all factions."
"However, Sekiguchi's intro quest forces players to hop into Outpust, a very dangerous area in Marathon, and then locate a biochemical, inject it, and finally scan themselves using a medical device located in another area of the map. The problem is that the chemical causes your runner to take damage every 20 seconds, which is annoying."
Bungie's extraction shooter Marathon features an ongoing ARG puzzle that has engaged fans for nearly two weeks. The puzzle involves terminals, websites, Discord servers, and cryptic videos. Players have progressed far enough to reveal requirements for unlocking Cryo Archive, the endgame level set on the original Marathon ship. To access this level, players must reach rank 25 and establish connections with all factions. The Sekiguchi faction introduction contract presents a significant obstacle, requiring players to navigate the dangerous Outpost area, locate and inject a biochemical agent that causes periodic damage, and find a medical scanning device. This contract is notably more difficult than other faction introductions, particularly for new players unfamiliar with the map.
