How to unlock the ELECTRIC DREAMS achievement in The Long Journey Home - Definitive Guide
This is a rather lengthy quest that spans at least three sectors and quite a bit of exploration as well as a substantial investment (resources and credits). I highly recommend you load out with the following:
- Siobhan - she can read the quest books with 100% success rate and can excavate ruins with a high chance of success.
- ISS Discovery - you will need to explore quite a few star systems in order to find what you are looking for. If you know what you are doing, the Discovery will bring you there without to much of a hassle, saving you time and resources.
- Cueddhaest - The quest is related to this species and you need their books in order to start the quest. You can use HAL9000 as a seed for them to appear.
The first step is to actually trigger the quest called Tomb Raider. This is done by buying (or being gifted) one of three books:
- The Book of Fallen Candles
- The Book of the First Dawn
- The Book of the Second Testament
The books can be bought at Cueddhaest stations or planetary outposts (look for their symbol on the star map) if they have a Shop. You can read them with any crewmember but only Siobhan will always success in extracting the necessary information. Upon reading your first book you will start the quest Tomb Raider in addition to learning one of three pieces of information regarding a ruin. The three pieces of information are:
- Type of star (e.g.: Brown Dwarf)
- Number of planets (not counting stations or asteroid fields)
- Type of planet(e.g.: Molten, Liquid)
While you can do with only two piece of information, three will make sure you don't waste resources.
All you need to do now is to locate the star system in the sector, fly there, land on the planet, and explore the ruins. A ruin may net you:
- The Astrolabe
- The Compass
- The Sextant
- Something else
You are not guaranteed to get a quest item and, thus, it can take more than three sectors to get all three artefacts together. The quest will tell you if you have exhausted all possible locations in a sector. If you did, time to move on. But at least, the books don't disappear. Once in a new sector, you can read them again and reveal the location of the ruins in that sector. Never sell the books unless you have all three artefacts.
Once you have them all, show them to any Cueddhaest and they will ask you to land at one of their planets, starting the quest Everybody's Going To The Rapture. Once you land at their outpost, talk to them about the items and you should see an event unfold. Head back to your ship and the achievement should be yours.
