before being able to enter anteverse CLXVIII Canaan, the player will have to navigate through the Wildlife Pens Sector, starting from the Lobby, there will be a rather long and slightly curved hallway.
waking down all the way and turrning left past the large opening in the wall will lead the player to the Particle lab, the Portal perforation will be in that room.


The following items are required to enable the portal perforation:
1 x Snag vine
1 x Night essence

Place the snag vine to the right and the night essence to the left of the portal perforation


After that the clearance level 4 keypad in the observation room just infront of the perforation has to be hacked, this will then open up the portal to anteverse CLXVIII Canaan.

After entering the portal to anteverse CLXVIII the player will spawn between two stadium benches, the very first collectable is an ID card that is obtainable by interacting with the hung up skeleton.

A step by step on how to traverse Canaan from spawn to the very end.
This section of the guide focuses on the main path through Canaan and few side paths, however the contents of side paths such as miscellaneous items, attires, discoverables etc. will not be included here alternate paths have their own section below which will include everything about them in great detail.

From spawn turning to the left will lead to a downwards path with the option to go left or right, to the right, there will be a carriage a small hut and a gate with a guard telling the player to back off.


Passing the carriage from the left will lead to another downwards path which ends at a fallen over tree which is used as a bridge.


Past the first tree bridge and to the left there will be anorther tree which leads up to a small ledge, there will be a small camp to the right side and another tree bridge to the left, follow along the tree again.


The path straight ahead will be blocked by trees and branches, go to the left here and follow the narrow split in the path towards the right.


This will lead to a lumberyard, going up the hill and to the right will lead to many different farms, for minimal enemy contact its recomended to stay on the very right side near the trees, walking past the belltower and into the village through the small doorway.


Whilst technically not necessary to walk through Canaan it is part of this anteverse's story. Past the doorway inside the wall turning to the left will lead to the Fishermans hut out at the docks, speaking to the fisherman will reveal that its a scientist, he will tell the player how he got here and that another scientist, Dr. Riggs might still be alive in the swamp, he will also tell the player how to get to Dr. Riggs roughtly. (To continue the walkthrough, return to the Doorway used to first enter the village.)


Past the doorway inside the wall, turn to the right, once the path splits turn to the left and get behind the house, this should reveal the marketplace below. The player will have to go up the stairs and through the chapel.


After walking through the chapel, the player will have to walk over a bridge on the left side, past the brige the first house straight ahead will be the backsmith, pass this building from the right and the one following from the left in a straight line untill you see another bell tower.


Turning to the left will reveal the mines of Canaan, walk straight to it and enter.


Once inside the mines there will be a ladder on the lefthand side, walk up the ladder and walk straight out of the mines. The player will have 3 options, right, forward and left, go right, there will be a ladder leading all the way down to the bottom.


Once there make a u-turn to the left and walk down through the small tunnel and down the wooden walkway to the watermill.


When visiting this place the front door will be locked, The player can use the windmill as an elevator to the back side, there is a cased opening on that side which leads right inside the building, once inside go up the ladder.


Once up the ladder, walk forward, you will see a bucket elevator, sit on any of the passing buckets to be lifted back up to a wooden path, once up turn to the right and follow along the cliffside, jumping over the small gap in the bridge will lead to the swamp.


Inside the swamp stay on the wooden pier but stick to the left side, past the small hill to the left will be a hut.


Dr. Riggs will be in that hut telling you about the Lodestone and the possibility to restore the portal perforation equipment with it, she will ask you to find a way to open it up and tell you to go down to the "anvil down in the vilage"


Backtrack out of the swamp the same way, and pass the bucket lift along the cliffside, there will be a zipline back to the mines, once there backtrack to the mines and all the way back to the bell tower on the right.


The anvil needed to open the lodestone will be in right hand house when turning left at the bell tower, interacting with the anvil and "scrapping" the lodestone will give the player "lodestone fragments"


The the player need to go to the "church", walk out of the blacksmith and turn left towards the beltower again, there will be a path straight up to the "church".


Once inside you will see 4 viligers and Niketas, its recomended to kill him but not requiered, behind him there will be a cased opening with 2 ladders to the very top of the chuch.


The portal perforation equipment will be on the roof, to open the portal back to Gate Cascade, use one of the 3 lodestone fragments, once through the portal you will be back in a "holding" area with a vent to escape back to the enterance portal for Anteverse CLXVIII.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ Lodeite

This enemy was added as an update to the Halloween update, its main purpose is to give the player another source of Lodestone since the only one prior to this enemy was the one near Dr. Riggs, This enemy has a shield and attacks with his right arm holding a book in his hand, the other attack is ranged and involves Lodeite to throw a molotov like throwable at the player which inflicts a DoT fire effect.


ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ Niketas

Towards the very end of Cannan is the preacher called Niketas, he will be up in the church near the anvil used to break the lodestone open, much like Lodeite this enemy has a strong shield and will attack with his right arm holding a book acompanied by a long range molotov like attack which inflicts a DoT fire effect on the player.

The player can go into the bush to get the IS-0091 bobblehead.
