How to destroy Blight in Arknights: Endfield beta

These death crystals can be wiped out.

Blight is an annoying obstacle you’ll encounter throughout your exploration in Arknights: Endfield. Although it can be destroyed, you won’t be able to do so unless you’re aware of these methods.

How to clear Blight in Arknights: Endfield

If a Blight formation has a visible Blight Core, you can destroy it directly by attacking the core directly. Visible Blight Cores appear as bright red lights located somewhere within the Blight itself. Just be careful not to to🌌uch i🎉t directly, as it will kill with extended exposure.

In a lot of cases, the Blight Core will be within reach for you to attack with one of your characters, but many others won’t be. Many Blight formations you come across will have Blight Cores you can’t get to or won’t be able to see at all. Fortunately, there is a solution for both issues.

How to destroy out-of-reach Blight Cores

For Blight Cores you can actively see but can’t reach directly, you can use Industrial Explosives to destroy them instead.

Industrial Explosives are special consumables crafted at your base that can be thrown at the cores once you’ve made them.

How to destroy invisible Blight Cores

If you encounter a Blight formation with an invisible Blight Core, you won’t be able to do a thing to them initially. Blight formations with no visible Blight Core cannot be destroyed until you’ve progressed the Main Story far enough to obtain the Blight Decryption Device, which will allow you to use the Scanner to expose undetected Blight Cores.

When you have the Blight Decryption Device unlocked, all you need to do is go near a Blight fꦯormation and use the Scan function to reveal its hidden core. Then, simply use the aboveꦦ-mentioned methods to destroy it and clear the Blight out of your way.

How to Craft Industrial Explosives in Arknights: Endfield

To even begin to craft Industrial Explosives at your base, you’ll need to have progressed far enough to have unlocked the Basic AIC Plan mechanic, which allows you to research improvements for your overall base. Specifically, you need to unlock the Packaging Tech node under Basic AIC II to gain ac🍸cess to the Industrial Explosives🌼 blueprints.

Industrial Explosives are produced via a Packaging Unit structure. The reagants you need to funnel into for the craft aꦕre listed below:

  • 5 x Amethyst Part – Process Amethyst Fibers at a Fitting Unit to produce these materials. Amethyst Fibers are made from refining Amethyst Ore at a Refining Unit.
  • 1 x Aketine Powder – Process Aketine plants at a Shredding Unit to produce this material. You can find Aketine plants in the Valley Pass region, around the Abandoned Trail. They can also be grown using a Planting Unit or grown as crops directly via the Eco-Farm.

I highly recommend you automate the entire processing chain for producing the above materials, as you will need to use a lot of Industrial Explosives throughout your time in Arknights: Endfield, so having them mass-produced without your input is nothing but a bꩵenefit for you.
