NEW: Keyboard shortcuts have been added for 'HOP back to last host' and 'HOP back to Bug 22'. Keep an eye on the Controls UI (left of screen) while in ego mode for how to use.
NEW: Ego Mode can now be configured to be a 'toggle' rather than a 'hold' input action. Configure it from within MainMenu / Key bindings.
Change: "Host Func Alt" is now rebindable i.e. RMB is now rebindable
Fix: If you're sucking ego as a virus from another virus, the target virus wasn't going hostile. It will now.
Fix: CRS Science <-> Corporate level join ensure the other level loads if you HOP back up/down the vertical vent / lift shaft
Fix: Merging Station - ensure a section pipe 'floor' doesn't get optimised away... since otherwise Bug can fall through it in certain situations.
Fix: If you're carrying something and in Ego Mode, MMB will no longer bring up the EMU Filter Wheel
Fix: Long distance HOPs ensure target geometry is in sync with the thing being HOPped to, else the thing can fall through the floor.
Fix: In the Assembler level, don't allow Fault infections to spread to the collectable bug bits
In the third guide, we will introduce “World Missions” and “Void Intercept Battles (Raids),” which offer a large amount of EXP, quality equipment, and necessary materials to research Descendants.
※ Please note that the guide is in line with the Steam Beta Test, and that some of the contents may be modified in the official service.
[World Missions & Void Intercept Battles Guide]
1. What Are World Missions?
2. World Mission_Consecutive Survival
3. What Are Void Intercept Battles?
4. How to Participate in Void Intercept Battles
1. What Are World Missions?
In World Missions, you complete a mission in a designated field as a party. You can obtain a large amount of EXP, equipment, and Descendant research (craft) materials.
After completing World Missions (Consecutive Survival) and Consecutive Defense missions, you can occasionally obtain Amorphous Materials which contain Descendant research materials, Crystallization Catalyst Kit, Energy Activator, and advanced Runes. To use Amorphous Materials, you need to own the item and defeat the linked Colossus in the Void Intercept Battle (Raid). Upon winning the battle, you can select one of the Amorphous Material Components.
TIP) How to Use Amorphous Materials
First, Amorphous Materials can be obtained occasionally from World Missions (Consecutive Survival) and Consecutive Defense missions.
Check the number of the obtained Amorphous Materials, and defeat the matching Colossus in the Void Intercept Battle (Raid).
<Select Colossus on the Void Intercept Battle screen to check the linked Amorphous Material from below>
After defeating the Colossus, you can select one of the Amorphous Material Components.
Obtained items will be available in your Inventory.
You can accept your first World Mission after completing all the main quests in Kingston. Likewise, you can accept World Missions in other regions after completing all the main quests in that area. You can join the mission immediately after match-making, without using any resources.
During the test period, you can only participate in Consecutive Survival missions. More World Missions will be available in the future.
<When Kingston World Mission is available>
2. World Mission_Consecutive Survival
To start World Missions, go to “World Mission Terminal” in Albion, and select a mission in one of the regions.
<Location of World Mission Terminal in Albion>
When you accept a mission, you will be matched to a party, and then relocated to the mission field where you’ll meet 10 consecutive waves. In each wave, you have to find the descending Exploration Fleet, and defeat monsters for 3 minutes to defend the fleet.
<Move to Exploration Fleet location marked with an orange icon>
Mana Saturation increases constantly during the mission; when it reaches 100%, Descendant’s HP will decrease constantly, so you need to keep an eye on the rate. To reduce Mana Saturation, use Neutralizer Filter obtained from monsters.
<Neutralizer dropped by monsters>
Monsters will be spawned randomly, from general monsters to elite monsters. If several elite monsters appear, you may be at risk of dying. The death count (number of times party members are allowed to die) for the World Mission is 12. If the party’s death count exceeds the limit, it will mean failure of the mission. But rescuing another party member within the rescue time will not count as a death.
3. What Are Void Intercept Battles?
Void Intercept Battle is a raid where you enter a special area to defeat a Colossus (boss) as a party. By defeating the Colossus, you can obtain a large amount of equipment and advanced Runes.
If you own an Amorphous Material, you can select one of the Amorphous Material Components as a reward after completing Void Intercept Battle. You can select the component in the result screen after defeating the Colossus, which will then be sent to your Inventory.
Void Intercept Battles have two difficulty levels, normal and hard, and each Colossus has different participation requirements.
<Hover over the boss to check requirements>
TIP) You can take part in your first Void Intercept Battle after completing the last main quest in Kingston!
Complete Kingston’s last main quest (8. Shelter of Light) and participate in Void Intercept Battle.
4. How to Participate in Void Intercept Battles
There are two ways to participate in Void Intercept Battles: First, talk to NPC “Seneca” in Albion and select a boss; second, open World Map (G) and select a boss.
<Location of NPC Seneca in Albion>
<Participating in Void Intercept Battle via World Map>
When you start a Void Intercept Battle, you will join match-making, and then your party will be relocated to a special area in which the Colossus dwells. Void Intercept Battles have a time limit and the death count (number of times party members are allowed to die) is 3. The mission is a failure if the party’s death count exceeds 3, or if you fail to defeat the Colossus within the time limit. But rescuing another party member within the rescue time will not count as a death.
<Display location of time limit and death count>
TIP) Colossus Tip!
Pressing Tab will show the destructible part in blue. Concentrate fire on that part to turn it into yellow.
Then use converging fire or a grappling hook to destroy the part and put the boss in a groggy state.
TIP) Organize your Inventory before Void Intercept Battles!
Various rewards will be dropped upon completion, and they must be looted before the timer runs out, after which you will be returned to Albion.
You can no longer acquire items after returning to Albion.
<Display location of remaining time before moving to Albion>
TIP) Of course, you can exit right away!
If you’ve looted all items after Void Intercept Battle, press ESC, select <Exit Intercept Battle> from the menu to return to Albion immediately.
We are very pleased to introduce The First Descendant for the first time through the Steam Beta Test. Prior to the test, we will guide you through the details of the Steam Beta Test.

FAQ
1. What languages does it support? The Steam Beta Test supports English spoken language and supports subtitles and UI in English, French, German, Japanese, Chinese (Traditional), Chinese (Simplified), and Korean. As there may be language-related errors during this Beta Test period, we look forward to receiving your feedback. Please feel free to give us feedback on the translation so that we can improve the translation with higher quality in diverse ways before the launch.
2. When will I know if I’ve been chosen as a tester? Steam will send you an e-mail regarding the result of the tester recruitment close to when the testing will begin.
3. Can we play the game on console devices? Unfortunately, the upcoming Steam Beta Test cannot be played on PlayStation, Xbox, or Steam Deck. A lot of Descendants wanted it to be available on console devices too as much as we did. We focused on improving the quality and volume of the test build for better experience, therefore the beta test will not be available on console devices. We’d like to ask for your understanding. However, we are planning to launch the official service on all platforms in line with our trailer (Steam, XBO, XSX, PS4, and PS5), so please look forward to the official game launch.
4. What happens to the game data from the Steam Beta Test period? Any game data gathered during the Beta Test will be initialized.
5. How do I report bugs? You can submit them by visiting to the official website > Customer Support > FAQ (Only English) https://nexon.link/8Tn
