Breathedge 2 Walkthrough Guide: Collectibles and Achievements

Breathedge 2 Walkthrough and Guide

Breathedge 2 is an exciting sequel to the space survival simulator, once again sending the astronaut into the endless reaches of space, where he must survive and uncover the mystery surrounding his shuttle and its crew. The Man survived the events of the first game, but in the process made enemies of the Coffinbots, who are not about to leave him alone in the sequel. In this guide, you'll find a step-by-step walkthrough of the game, along with useful tips on its mechanics and resource gathering.

Just like in the previous game, resources can be gathered directly in open space. Basic materials can often be found floating around as small pieces of debris, while others need to be broken apart with a Scrap tool. Mineral resources such as iron, titanium, and aluminum can also be extracted from asteroids with drilling equipment. In this section, we'll cover all the available ways to gather resources, including some less obvious ones, to help you survive in space.

At the beginning of the first Breathedge, players could replenish their oxygen supply for spacewalks only inside an intact section of the shuttle. Breathedge 2 gives you several useful ways to restore oxygen almost immediately. This is especially important because the starting area is much larger and takes considerably longer to explore.

Air Stations

Some locations feature blue platforms that indicate the presence of Air Stations. The first one can be found near Babe, close to the entrance to the train car. Later, you will also discover oxygen vents inside asteroids where you can install your own Air Stations crafted from the inventory.

Each station, including the train car, has a limited oxygen supply. You can replenish some of it by using bottles of water.

Oxyworm Nests

While exploring the first area, you will come across unusual formations on asteroids. These are Oxyworm Nests. Fly up to a nest, hold the button shown on screen, and wait for the Man's oxygen tank to refill. Although the air supply inside a nest can run out, you can return later once it has replenished.

Oxyworms

You will usually find blue Oxyworms floating in space near their nests. Once caught, they can be consumed to restore a small amount of oxygen or used to craft other items, such as Purified Oxygen or an Air Candle. Naturally, you will need additional resources for these recipes.

Water is a very common resource in Breathedge 2 because it is needed to make water bottles, which can then be converted into oxygen at Air Stations. You will rarely find water in its pure form, but every area contains large and small chunks of ice. Break them apart with the Scrap tool to collect the resource.

Large pieces of metal debris are scattered throughout the exploration area. They are orange, making them easy to spot from a distance. You can also use the Scrap tool to break metal objects such as barrels and canisters to obtain Metal.

Metal can easily be processed into Refined Metal. You can do this through the crafting menu, with four units of regular Metal required to make one unit of Refined Metal.

Unlike most other resources in the game, there is only one way to obtain Alkali early on. Kill the Alkali Moles that fire alkaline projectiles at the Man when you approach, then use the Probe to extract the resource from their burrows. Make sure you have enough health beforehand, as the enemy will almost certainly hit you at least once while you close the distance.

If you do not yet have drilling equipment that can extract Titanium from asteroids, you will need to look for it in open space. Titanium Ore often appears as large pieces of debris covered in distinctive spikes. Use the Scrap tool to break them apart and collect the ore.

Hardened Plastic can be found at the ends of cables. It looks like a dark-colored growth. Hit it several times with the Scrap tool and collect the resource.

One of the essential items you will need early on is a large Battery. It is used to power drilling rigs, towers, and certain compartments. You can find one near your train car at the beginning of the game. Head out into space and fly to the right, then turn right again and look down. There is a small, completely destroyed baggage compartment here, with a Battery floating nearby.

Wires can be extracted from electrical panels using the Probe. You will find plenty of these panels while exploring the starting area.

In this section, you'll find a detailed walkthrough of all main and optional quests currently available in Breathedge 2.

You play as the captain known as the Man. Your robot companion Sui will show you the basic keyboard controls, which you can rebind if needed. Your first task is to find the Helmet and Spacesuit lying across from the workbench, then open your inventory and equip them. You also need to pick up the Chicken Feed from the nearby bench.

Enter the next train car and feed the Chicken, then watch the cutscene. Afterward, the crew will arrive at the Outskirts station. Leave the train and find two pieces of Metal, then open your inventory and go to the Crafting section to make a Scrap tool. You can use it to break various objects, including appliances, barrels, junk, and other metal items. Now approach the phone booth and break the red lock with the Scrap tool.

Head to the roof of the station and find the Battery frozen inside a chunk of ice. Break the ice, then place the Battery into the transformer socket.

Head back down to the station and find the pantograph on the roof of the train. Grab it and raise it until it connects with the overhead power line. Enter the train car and inspect the burned Kettle, cracked Window, Lamp near the wardrobe, and the Nutri-Pack-O-Mat food waste processor.

You will need the following resources to repair the phone booth:

You can obtain these materials from electrical panels, wrapped pipes, and ore deposits. This means you will need to craft tools such as the Cutter and Thumper.

This quest requires you to find and repair three antennas.

Leave the station and head toward the tall antenna marked by the objective marker. Go down to its base and pick up the tuning unit, then bring it to the dish. You now need to repair the receiver and power it with a Battery. The repair requires:

Fly above the antenna and look for the Dive Into Summer billboard. A Battery is floating across from it. Pull it toward you, then insert it into the transformer socket.

It is located to the right of the antenna, above the police station.

It is located across from the station, near the chunk of ice.

Behind the station, you can find a huge glacier with a spacecraft sticking out of it. Knock the ice out of the nozzle and start the engine with the starter. Wait for the satellite to come to a complete stop, then repair it.

There is a panel on the satellite hull. Tear it off and repair the electronics using:

Now that all the antennas are operational, Sui needs to obtain the Service Routes map, which is guarded by an automatic turret at the ticket booth.

The automatic turret tracks the Man's movement, so you need to disable it:

You can completely disable the turret as an optional step so it no longer bothers you while gathering resources around the ticket booth. Enter the cashier's office and repair the terminal:

Return to the train and open the phone booth interface, then wait for Sui to reprogram it. Leave the station and fly straight toward the enormous block of ice that was hiding the orbital PornHubble station.

The entrance is located at the bottom of the complex. Break the ice and cut the ropes, then tear off the hatch cover. Climb into the administrator's room and inspect the wrench to unlock the Twister recipe. Next, interact with the monitor, then unplug the cable from the power strip lying to the right of the machine. Look up, cut through the electric grate, and unscrew the bolts beneath the graphics cards. Pull them out and destroy them, then return to the lower section and destroy the cache units. Finally, activate the terminal and wait for the system to finish configuring.

The next story objective is located in a freezing area, so you will need to raise the temperature across the station. Flame-shaped icons will appear on the screen, marking heat guns that need to be repaired. You will need the following materials:

You do not need to repair every heat gun. It is enough to restore the ones along the route to the giant antenna.

Here, you need to repair the antenna and install a Battery at its base. At the top of the transmitter, cut away the string lights and repair the hinge using:

Next, knock the ice off the outside of the antenna and unfold all the reflector petals. Then find a Battery and install it in the transformer at the bottom of the antenna. One Battery can be found behind the station near a billboard.

Sui will run a network diagnostic and discover that part of the area around the antenna is inaccessible because the signal is being jammed. Head toward the objective marker, and a locator will appear on screen to help you track down the jammer. The first device is located next to a heat pipe near the 10G Antenna.

Enter the yellow pipe beneath the first jammer and turn right, then continue until you reach the second signal jammer. These antennas glow blue, making them easier to spot.

Fly above the second jammer and look for the enormous yellow pipe filled with electrical arcs. The jammer is mounted on the white rim. Wait for Sui to finish scanning it, then head toward the abandoned station.

First, knock the ice off the door, then turn right and cut through the blue membrane. Connect the contacts, unscrew the panels on both sides, and remove the worms stuck in the wiring. Return to the gate and tear off the bar to open it.

Continue to the end of the corridor, knock on the door, and hit the robot. Go left and find the unit with red wires sticking out of it. You need the cable on the far right and the cable on the far left. Connect them to the panels, then repair all the wiring using:

You can now use the old station as a shelter where you can sleep, use the workbench, craft water, food, and oxygen, and upgrade your spacesuit. Approach the phone booth and contact the station, then head right and repair the box near the station chief's body. You will need:

This unlocks the Spraytron recipe. Approach the station chief's body and inflate it until it explodes. Now return to the table with the workbench and find the head. Bring it to the phone booth and wait for the verification process to finish. Pull the lever on the station control panel, and a shuttle will appear in the center of the hall. You now need to repair it.

Front Hull Breach

Side Hull Breach

Side Hull Breach

Start the shuttle and return to the station. You now need an alkaline solution to fill the shuttle's tank. Near the base are two enormous asteroids with tunnels inhabited by Alkali Moles. Use the Spraytron to extract the fuel, then return to the shuttle.

Return to the station with the crew. Babe's bag will now be at this base. Approach the control panel and pull the lever. This will trigger the story boss, the giant CZNX.

Larvae are living inside the creature's body, and you need to pull them out and destroy them. Use the Spraytron to cover the boils with Alkali and force the worms to crawl out. Tanks containing the solution can be found along the walls near the station entrance.

The boss will spit out Babe and the jammer. Help her wash off the slime with Alkali, then move into the next room so she can change clothes. Now hit the capsule with the Scrap tool whenever a green circle appears on screen. Listen to the machine's hum and strike when the sound dies down. Eventually, Gromov will call the station and provide Mary's coordinates, bringing the current Early Access storyline to an end.

The following sections cover side quests and collectible locations.

When heading to this area, make sure to inspect the lower asteroid and look for the sign with Chuck's face. Chuck's Fine (18/48) is attached directly to it.

Now head to the asteroid with the taxis. We recommend collecting all the collectibles here before completing the story objectives. There are two cars on the platform. Inspect the one on the right to obtain the Poster (19/48). You can find the Checkers (20/48) inside the cab of the car on the left.

Also inspect the car on the right to complete the subquest and collect Chuck's Photo (21/48) from the glove compartment.

The logo is missing several letters, leaving behind an obscene-looking word. Find the missing letters nearby and place them in the correct order to spell Instant Taxi. This also unlocks the Aphlaebt achievement.

The solar panel on the right is broken. First, use the Scrap tool to remove the metal debris stuck in it, then craft a Hinge in your inventory and replace the damaged one. Finally, interact with the console to deploy the panel.

A little farther to the right of the panel is another taxi completely covered in fines (22/48).

The broken radiator is located on the roof of the structure. Simply use the Twister to repair it.

Under the main platform, you will find a broken drilling rig. Interact with it to unlock the drill blueprint, then insert 10 units of Refined Metal and a Battery. One Battery can be found right on the Chuck's Taxi platform behind the car.

A little farther from the Chuck's Taxi Air Station is a piece of asteroid with a burned-out car on it. Pick up the Green Barrel (23/48).

Once the drill is running, follow the cable to the bottom of the asteroid and break the ice.

In the far-right section of the area, you will find two drunk robots relaxing on lounge chairs. Interact with them and choose whether or not to drink alcohol. If you accept, you will gain +60% Drunk Respect. You will also learn that they want Alcohol. The recipe is simple:

Craft a canister of Alcohol and give it to one of the drunks. As a reward, they will give you an item that can be used to open the compartment.

Do not miss the collectible on the same platform, a Crate of Beer (24/48).

Insert the component you received from the robots into the socket and activate the unit using the console next to the Air Station.

Go inside and collect all the available resources, including the Titanium needed to repair the toilet. You will also find another collectible here (25/48). To get back outside, equip the Scrap tool and keep hitting the hatch until your companion opens the way out.

When you head to the baggage compartment beneath the train platform to get the Battery, you can also find the Roly-Poly Toy (31/48).

Pick up the Space Sign (32/48) on the platform near Babe. If you fly a little higher, you can also find an astronaut with a traffic cone on their head (33/48). Equip the cone as your helmet to unlock the Cone Head achievement.

Inspect the broken red car in front of the Chuck's Taxi asteroid. Inside, you can find a pack of Dude Beer (34/48).

Behind the Chuck's Taxi platform is a broken taxi with a drilling cable sticking out of it. You can find a Poster (35/48) here.

Earlier, you may have found a missing nanny notice on the platform with Babe. Head to the asteroid with the Oxyworm Nest between the toilet and the Chuck's Taxi asteroid to find another similar Notice (36/48).

Another Notice (37/48) can be found on the asteroid with the large red tank leaking green liquid. It is located in the northwest part of the area.

Behind the platform with Babe, you will see several toilets. Check the middle one and pick up the Sign (38/48).

Nearby, in front of the airlock door, there is a wrecked red car with another Notice (39/48).

There is a wrecked bus in front of the Chuck's Taxi asteroid. Look inside and collect the themed Toy (40/48).

While exploring the 10G tower, you can find a Poster (41/48) near its base.
