The Mercury Wreck can be confusing to navigate, so you may wish to craft a Pathfinder before heading out to make progress easier. It is the smallest piece of the wreck and holds one Parallel Processing Unit fragment, although if you have collected the other fragments this one is not necessary. Additionally, you can find a Mercury II poster among the Collectibles in the game located in a land base.Ī third piece of the Mercury II wreck is a detached thruster unit located over a crevasse at the edge of Purple Vents and Lily Pad Islands, about 1,000 meters Southeast of the Drop Pod and about 150 meters deep. You can learn more about the crew aboard the Mercury II wreck, and learn of a growing romance between two characters as they make repairs and manage the rest of the crew. In just a few seconds with your Seatruck, you will see the second of three of the Mercury II wreck pieces.Īnother Parallel Processing Unity fragment is inside, as well as other scannables and PDAs. If you are ready to continue, however, you'll want to leave the Mercury II entrance and head two clicks right of Southeast and down to about 200 meters. Metal salvage can be turned into Titanium, helpful if you want to learn How to Build a Base, as that requires a lot of titanium to craft habitat items. We dropped a Beacon here so it is easy to return if you need to go back to your Drop Pod in between for food and supplies. Inside the wreck you'll find many scannable items and resources in Cargo crates, including the Parallel Processing Unit fragments necessary in Hijacking Alterra Communications.Ĭollect any Metal Salvage or other items nearby and return to your Seatruck when you are ready. The Chelicerate is also located in the Purple Vents, although it does not chase you all the way to the wreck, and in any case, your Seatruck can normally outrun it.

Note that aggressive fauna like Squidshark patrol this area, and while they aren't as dangerous as Leviathan Class Organisms, they can still do some damage.

If you aren't sure where Delta Station is, check out the Finding Delta Base page.Īt the bottom and back of the wreck you will find a hole that's perfect for parking your Seatruck. Continue down until you see the Mercury II wreck it should only take a few seconds in your Seatruck. From Delta Station Dock, head two clicks right of South.
