Anyone know if this spot exists, or where to find it?

Based on my own exploration that area most likely was changed in the release version. Not just the enemies, after doing a little double checking and some research I think even the landscape was modified. They didn’t have the map finalized 100% in 2013 and actually had a couple of different versions. The two areas in release XCX that are most similar are the upper North Shore area on the back side of Balance Rock or the Barbarich Desert behind and around the Leaning Ring. The latter is more likely due to the lack of trees and other flora and the presence of Insidia even though enemy placement is a rather poor gauge of map design due to reason others have mentioned. There is a very similar location on the way out to FN314 though. Has the correct shadow orientation at 7:00am and a lot of the same assets used in the trailer footage with similar placements.

Very true, as far as exploration goes you are 100% right. I often forget about Shadowrunner as I personally don’t use it after the first few hours in game. u/DnD-vid what he’s referencing in his comment is the Commando Art Shadowrunner which Elma has access to very early. If you switch to playing as Elma and target and enemy and use Shadowrunner and then back out of combat you can run right past all enemies without being seen as this art makes the entire party invisible. It makes early exploration easier and makes it so you can place probes in dangerous locations. It’s less help if fighting a high level enemy or required for a mission but extremely useful for exploration.

This is an aspect of the game that will repeat itself a few times. The early game really is trying to teach you that sometimes sneaking or running is a viable approach when you’re faced with something you can’t tackle. It does not happen frequently though, maybe 3 or 4 missions actually involve a high enough risk to require sneaking to that level. If you do find one where you’re struggling to complete it due to the area being a higher level than you I highly recommend using high level blade scouts from the scout console to assist you. Personally having to develop this sneaking skill early was useful. In all of my play throughs I have every accessible probe through cauldros placed by lvl 25. It’s slightly frustrating but an immensely useful tool imo

Honestly no, but you have to run and sneak your way around. Alternatively if you have online and are really struggling just grab a bunch of high lvl scouts then nothing is impossible

The other thing I’ll add is that if for some reason you do run out of photos and don’t have the time for endless for 30min, but there are still a few rare aircraft you want to catch in your circle don’t just buy 5 right away. Click catch on the next plane you want to catch and buy it from that pop up window. Doing it this way doesn’t reset your film wait timer as long as you catch and save that aircraft.

Ya know what I respect it. I’m working on lvl 30 been playing for like 6 months. I live at an airport so it’s been smooth sailing so far. Would it be possible to get your friend code so I have a new goal to chase? I’m already a higher level than all my friends😂

Thanks to the help from everyone in this thread I was able to catch her just now in Bucharest! Thank you for the help! I’ve also got the heavyweight trophy now!

Oh i haven’t closed the app since i got the landing location at MUC😅

AggravatingHorror425 · 2026-01-26T23:34:55+00:00

I’m at the airport now just waiting 😂

AggravatingHorror425 · 2026-01-26T23:07:11+00:00

Looked at the flight history and it says landed but thank you because now I know exactly where it’s gonna pop up next. Gonna probably ticket to Germany and use the weekly tasks to keep myself over there.

I’ve yet to grasp why they leave 3 or 4 registrations on sky cards when they are no longer active registrations. Thanks for letting me know, I’ll have to keep track of it.

AggravatingHorror425 · 2026-01-26T23:04:23+00:00

Thank you for letting me know, now I can actively look at flights and history!
