How to defeat the First One in Starlink Battle for Atlas? Starlink Guide and Walkthrough

Last update: 30 October 2018

One of the most important representatives of Legion in Starlink is the First One. This is a powerful machine that allows the Legion to build more Extractors. In the following chapter, you will learn how to fight these powerful machines.

The fight against First consists of two stages. In the first of them is about a mobile unit, in full armor. You are not able to do anything to him until he decides to attack. It will then expose part of its interior.

If you inflict enough damage, it will stop the attack and reveal the core. This is the only place where you can inflict real damage on it. You will have to repeat this procedure several times.

You will not always be able to deal enough damage to interrupt the attack. Especially that First One likes to summon reinforcements in the form of Cyclops. So, when it turns out that you are not able to interfere with the attack of the First One, you have to watch out for the circles appearing on the ground. They will be replaced by ice spikes, which can deal large amounts of damage.

When the First One loses half its health, it will try to flee. Then you have to chase it. At some point, it will stop from above the electrum deposit and begin drawing power from it. Nova crystals will appear on its surface at that moment. They will attack you with something like a laser beam. The only way to avoid it is to stay in constant motion.

You must destroy all four crystals. Then First shows the lower part of the structure that is sensitive to injury. In this case, too, this process will have to be carried out several times.

Defeating the First One will allow you to collect the First One's Core from its wreck.
