The useful part

We got to go hands-on with Exodus at Gamescom last week and have answers to one of those questions. Alas, this point in the story means there's no mercenary Awakened octopus in the party, but Jun is joined by Elise and Suliman, and Elise which is still in mech suit, so there is that. Robot 'Ghosts' roam the orbital station and will attack anything and everything they see, while the Kay are awakened giant frogs who have looked after and maintained the station.

How it works

  • Actually, I've got a third question, how would that work?
  • Stepping aboard Khonsu, and you immediately feel that ancient alien architecture around you.
  • Jun's connection to Celestial tech makes him unique and special in getting through the space station.
