Triple Threat | Anthem story missions walkthrough Anthem Guide and Walkthrough

Last update: 01 March 2019

Dear Diary is one of the Story Missions in Anthem. This is the first out of the three missions related to Matthias and a device called Manifold. During it you will face many enemies and solve a puzzle.

• First visit to The Well
• First Dominion camp
• Second Dominion camp
• Return to The Well
• Solving the barrier puzzle

First visit to The Well

You have to meet with Matthias during Crafting the Dawn Shield Story Mission. After that, you have to go on an expedition. Go to the ruins pointed by the game. You need to enter The Well. Your first visit to The Well isn't long, but you will return here later. Reach the locked passage and then look for a corpse that can be examined (see the picture). You can now leave the dungeon.

Fly to the location where you will face Dominion forces. Watch out for Dominion Storm Valkyries and other powerful enemies. Find interactive objects and examine them.

First Dominion camp

Fly to the first Dominion camp. Watch out for Gauss Turrets - they can deal a lot of damage. Destroy them all first and then focus on attacking "regular" Dominion soldiers. Be careful, you can't respawn here.

Find the signet. This will trigger a green zone - defend yourself here until the decrypting process is over.

Second Dominion camp

Fly to the second Dominion camp. This place doesn't have any turrets. However, you will face, e.g. Dominion Storm Brutes. Use your Ultimate to defeat them.

Find another signet to start the decrypting process. Keep defending your position until the bar is full.

Return to The Well

You can now go back to The Well. The passage that was blocked is now open. There are three mini-bosses in the main chamber - the Dominion Trio. These three Valkyries shouldn't be a challenge for you.

Go to the Manifold. You learn that you have to deactivate its energy barrier. The puzzle is divided into three parts. Luckily, none of them are really difficult.

Solving the barrier puzzle

There are three gates in the chamber (see the picture above). The color of the symbol displayed in the middle of these gates changes when you interact with these objects. Your objective is to set these three symbols in the right way.

The solution is random. However, the puzzle itself isn't that complicated. Each of the gates has a hint nearby. You can find these hints in any order - after reaching any of the gates, check the three types of hints described below.

The first hint is a small symbol on the wall near the bridge leading to the gates. Interact with the gate to set the same color.

The second hint is the small symbol displayed on the high wall near the gates. Interact with the gate to set the same color.

The third hint is the small symbol below the bridge leading to the gates. Interact with the gate to set the same color.

If all the symbols have the right colors, the force barrier will deactivate. Take the Manifold. Go back to Matthias.
