Operation: Blackout

Below is a guide for obtaining the badges 'project morpheus' and 'Bat Artifact' for the quest in Operation: Blackout! Be aware that there may be spoilers ahead, so read at your own discretion! The images are hidden by default, but click/tap the drop down arrow to reveal it.

Brief context:

In November 2024, several areas of the dream world began to experience mysterious power outages of unknown origin that left many places in the dark. Not only that, but a massive snow storm struck the dream world causing every service and travel to be completely halted. It turns out, Francis had been up to no good, and he took over the rural dream world! A mission consisting of Daiki, Kamaria, Nate, and M3-0W was assembled to go in and infiltrate Francis' base which was discovered to be underground. They went in to shut down the weather machine, rescue Finnegan, arrest Francis, and stop a potentially "doomsday" portal from being fully activated...

Before starting: This quest is only available during Operation Blackout! It may run outside of the season, so keep an eye out for when it does.

Step 1: When you arrive, be sure to talk to Daiki to get a summary of why you're there. Once finished, go enter the box portal that's on the floor behind him. Note: This will teleport you outside of the main map to an external map.

Step 2: You'll arrive to the wilderness of the dream world. Walk down to find Daiki, Kamaria, Nate, and M3-0W waiting. Chatting will provide additional context. Once finished, jump into the hole in the ground behind them. Note: This will teleport you outside of the main map to an external map.

Step 3: Once you're in the tunnel, be sure to talk to the squad again for more context. When finished, go forward but do not forget to click/tap the piece of paper on the ground. You will receive the To-do list item in your inventory. Continue moving forward to the next part.

Step 4: You'll arrive to a larger tunnel system. You'll need to navigate underground and enter the correct tunnel corridor to proceed to the next area. Each tunnel has an item on the ground next to it. The To-do list item provides a hint to each correct path to take for each part. SPOILER: Revealing the image below shows the correct tunnel to take with the item on the ground.

Step 5: For tunnel 2, select the correct path. SPOILER: Revealing the image below shows the correct tunnel to take with the item on the ground.

Step 6: For tunnel 3, select the correct path. SPOILER: Revealing the image below shows the correct tunnel to take with the item on the ground.

Step 7: For tunnel 4, select the correct path. SPOILER: Revealing the image below shows the correct tunnel to take with the item on the ground.

Step 8: For tunnel 5, select the correct path. SPOILER: Revealing the image below shows the correct tunnel to take with the item on the ground.

Step 9: For tunnel 6, select the correct path. SPOILER: Revealing the image below shows the correct tunnel to take with the item on the ground.

Step 10: You've reached the end of the tunnel system! Be sure to talk to the squad again for context. When finished, head forward and continue to the next part. Note: This will teleport you to an external map.

Step 11: We're almost inside! Talk to the squad to get instructions. Kamaria has automatically provided you with the ABC to Binary Decoder item. You will need this item to proceed ahead of locked areas. Pick up the note to the far left of the room to obtain the Gate Note item. The note contains a clue to gain access to Francis' base. Use the decoder to see what 'code' the note contains.

Step 12: When you think you have the correct code, type the code in the Roblox chat. If correct, the gate should appear for you to safely walk across. Careful! Falling in the lava will cause your character to reset and begin again. If the gate is down, proceed ahead to the next area.

Step 13: We're in! Ahead of you are three areas that need a passcode to gain access. Pick up the Library Note item near the end of the hallway before the it splits into three. This note contains another clue to unlock the Library Room.

Step 14: Approach the library door and type the passcode for it in the Roblox chat. If correct, the door will unlock and the light above will turn green.

Step 15: In the library, pick up the Security Note. You'll need it to gain access to the Security Room.

Step 16: Approach the Security Room door and type the passcode for it in the Roblox chat. If correct, the door will unlock and the light above will turn green.

Step 17: In the Security Room, you'll need to look around for the note this time. In this case, it's located in the left locker. Click/tap it to receive the Lair Note.

Step 18: Approach the Lair Room door and type the passcode for it in the Roblox chat. If correct, the door will unlock and the light above will turn green.

Step 19: In Francis' lair, you'll need to find the note for the Bedroom door. While there are various notes scattered around, you'll need to click/tap around to find it. However, the note itself is located in the trashcan. Click/tap it to receive the Bedroom Note.

Step 20: Approach the Bedroom door and type the passcode for it in the Roblox chat. If correct, the door will unlock and the light above will turn green.

Step 21: In the bedroom, you'll need to look around Francis' room for the note. There are various spots where it could be; however, it is located on the middle right drawer below the nuclear science poster. Click/tap it to obtain the Invention Note.

Step 22: Approach the Invention Room door and type the passcode for it in the Roblox chat. If correct, the door will unlock and the light above will turn green.

Step 23: In the Invention Room, talk to the squad to get context. You're almost done! Around this room, there are notes scattered everywhere. The note you'll need is located on top of a bookshelf on the left side of the room. Click/tap it to obtain the Machine Note.

Step 24: Walk up ahead, but be careful. There are lasers here that will cause you to start over if you touch them. Jump over the lasers to reach the next door.

Step 25: Approach the ??? door and type the passcode for it in the Roblox chat. If correct, the door will unlock and the light above will turn green. Note: This will teleport you to an external single-player part of the quest.

Step 26: Upon reaching this part, you'll find Finnegan trapped in a cryo tube and the weather machine! It's time to shut it down and save Finn. Talk to Daiki to obtain context and a clue.

Step 27: You'll need a code to shut down the weather machine. The passcode is going to be an English word consisting of letters you had to decode in the previous map. Unscramble those letters to seemingly make out a word...

Step 28: When you think you have the correct word, type it in the Roblox chat. If correct, the cryo tubes and weather machine should turn off, and the door ahead will unlock. Proceed ahead...

Step 29: Freeze! It's Francis! You run into Francis and explain he has nowhere to go, but the mad scientist threatens to throw himself off the cliff! With nowhere else to go, the squad unsuccessfully coerces him to turn himself in...

Step 30: Hurry! Walk into the portal that Daiki opened on the floor to proceed to the next part.

Step 31: Close call! You should have now obtained the 'project genesis' badge at this point. Talk to Vivienne to get context of what just happened. While Francis evaded a horrific fate, the otherworldly portal he built is set to self destruct! It is now up to chief Daiki and Nate to shut it down before it ultimately explodes and takes all of our friends + Francis and surrounding area of the dream world down with it...

Step 32: End of part I! Since this is the unofficial end to this quest, simply walk into the box portal nearby to return to the main game. To be continued!
