The Voidtrain quest chaos is a primary storyline mission that takes place inside an abandoned New Light science complex at the 25th depot. During this mission, engineers investigate the aftermath of containment breaches, study apex predators of the Void, and retrieve a specimen vial tied to a rogue scientist's plot.
How to Start the Chaos Quest
The Chaos quest activates automatically once your train arrives at the 25th depot.
To begin the objective:
- Dock your train at the depot station.
- Head toward the non-combat area of the depot.
- Locate the designated path leading away from the platform toward the science complex.
- Follow the on-screen objective marker until you locate the entrance to the facility.
Your journal updates with the entry: "The depot is in complete chaos. Is it because of the giant Jormungandr? Or that Worm from another world?"
Step-by-Step Chaos Quest Walkthrough
Completing the quest involves infiltrating the complex, interacting with research archives, and securing a critical specimen before escaping back to your train.
1. Infiltrate the Research Station
Follow the quest marker along the exterior walkway toward the science facility entrance. Sneak inside through the doorway to bypass outer barriers. Once inside, you will find the facility in total disarray, marked by smashed equipment, breached holding cells, and hostile wildlife such as Spitters.
2. Examine the Exhibits
Follow the marker into the main exhibition hall. To satisfy the objective to examine the exhibits, you must locate the creature statues and interact with the descriptive tablets mounted near each display:
- Void Shark: A swift predator native to the Void drift.
- Jormungandr: A massive, territory-defending serpentine creature highly sensitive to external stimuli that awoke after hearing prophecies.
- Giant Worm: An apex creature capable of rivaling Jormungandr, possessing exceptional scent tracking despite lacking visual organs.
Interacting with each pedestal tablet registers task completion for that exhibit.
3. Inspect the Vial and Retrieve the Specimen
Near the statue of the giant worm, locate a pedestal holding an exhibit vial filled with a purple liquid. Interact with this replica vial to prompt your next task: Search for the real specimen.
Head up the stairs to the upper research level. Search the laboratory counters and storage areas on the second floor to locate the genuine vial containing the creature pheromones.
4. Leave the Research Institute and the Depot
Immediately after inspecting and collecting the specimen, a bomber bug blows open a nearby ventilation hatch. You have two options for your escape route:
- The Ventilation Shaft (Shortcut): Climb into the exposed vent shaft to bypass interior hallways. Dropping out of the vent places you outside the main research halls near an exit door.
- Backtracking: Retrace your steps back through the main entrance halls.
Hostile soldiers or rogue creatures will be stationed near the exit paths. You can engage them in combat or sprint past them straight through the exterior doors. Once outside, return to your train and leave the depot to complete the quest.
Creature Exhibit Summary
| Exhibit Subject | Display Description | Research Finding |
|---|---|---|
| Void Shark | Displayed specimen in central containment | Dangerous predator relying on rapid, swift attacks. |
| Jormungandr | Giant snake display | Defends its territory aggressively; awakened by prophecies. |
| Giant Worm | Large dimensional creature model | Lacks eyes but possesses a powerful sense of smell. |
| The Specimen Vial | Purple fluid container | Pheromone solution capable of luring the giant worm. |
Bug Fixes for Quest Chaos
In earlier versions of the game, players frequently encountered progression blockers where interacting with display tablets failed to advance the quest. Developer HypeTrain Digital addressed this in Patch 1.05, releasing a specific script fix that resolved exhibit task completion bugs. If you find an exhibit tablet unresponsive, ensure your game client is updated past version 1.04.
Voidtrain Chaos Quest FAQ
At what point in the story does the Chaos quest trigger?
The quest triggers upon docking at the 25th depot along your journey through the Void.
Where is the real specimen vial located?
While the first display vial sits next to the worm statue on the ground floor, the actual usable specimen is located upstairs on the second level of the research laboratory.
Do you have to defeat all enemies to exit the science complex?
No. Once you exit through the blown ventilation shaft or the front entrance, you can run directly past remaining soldiers and security forces to board your train and depart.
