If you don’t have access to this quest yet
make sure you complete “The Taken Path” quest and the “Derealize” mission
“Dyadic Ascension” will be waiting for you at the slab in Eris’ apartment once those are both complete
we’ll walk you through where to find all of the Taken Osseous Fragments in Heresy
as well as what the “Moment of Clarity” quest step refers to
Update (March 12): We’ve added info about the “Moment of Clarity” step
Steps 2 and 4 of “Dyadic Ascension” ask you to hunt down six and then 12 Taken Osseous Fragments inside the Dreadnaught (these steps are collective
similar to the ones you found during “The Taken Path,” and they show up on your radar once you’re close to them — making them easy to spot if you know the general locations
there appear to be 18 of them — six in each of the main Dreadnaught areas
Steps 1 and 3 require you to unlock certain perks on the Mastery of Resolve reputation track
Step 1 requires you to hit rank 5 with the Shaping Slab
which will net you the “Steel Your Nerves” perk
Step 3 will ask you to hit almost max rank
if you’ve finished the seasonal story thus far
but you can manage to get it pretty quickly if you play The Nether and get some of the secret chests inside each time
we’ll tell you where to find the Taken Osseous Fragments in each of the three main areas
You’ll unlock the Panic Response II and Panic Response III Intrinsic upgrades when you finish steps 2 and 4 respectively
There are six Taken Osseous Fragments scattered around the Hall of Souls
often in places that are easy to fall off of
so make sure you have revive tokens on hand or Strand grapple equipped
When you spawn into the Mausoleum from the Trenchway — and you have that long
chitinous bridge — to the left of the main arena
You’ll find a Taken Osseous Fragment hiding behind some of the big stone slabs in the hallway
through the main weapon chamber with the Tormentor
jump down and back when you reach the next bridge to find a Taken Osseous Fragment resting below the platform
Across the same bridge for Taken Osseous Fragment 2
jump along the big pillars and land on a lip to your right
where you’ll find another Taken Osseous Fragment
Continue jumping on the slabs from Taken Osseous Fragment 3 and round the corner
and instead of jumping up to the next platform
look under it to find a cylinder with a Taken Osseous Fragment resting on it
take a left and run through the next chamber until you reach an exit barred off by Taken energy
look to your left and you’ll find the final Taken Osseous Fragment for this area resting on a pillar
blue weapon room that houses the event where you have to interact with the Pyramid Crux to drop the shield
there is a back path under the platform that’s blocked off from the front because of crystals
Go through the tunnel and you’ll find the Taken Osseous Fragment resting on the back side
There are six Taken Osseous Fragments in the Mausoleum
across from the trench and near the infected ship
you’ll find a Taken Osseous Fragment glowing on top of a pillar
Near the opening of the trench but still on the upper floor
you’ll find a Taken Osseous Fragment hidden under the large tentacle on the left side of the room
Under the elevated platform in the middle of the room
you’ll find the third Taken Osseous Fragment glowing in a corner under the crumbled bridge
you’ll see a cliff of crystals to your right
There is a Taken Osseous Fragment resting on one of the crystals
on the right side if you’re facing the Ogre
you’ll find a Taken Osseous Fragment sitting on the back of a rock
circular disk on the far right of the room if you’re looking at the tentacle trench — jump over the crystals behind you and hug the right side of the Dreadnaught wall
You’ll find the Taken Osseous Fragments tucked in the corner on a little ledge
There are six Taken Osseous Fragments in the Trenchway
you’ll see a Taken Osseous Fragment resting on a curled up lip of the Dreadnaught
you’ll find another tucked into some rubble on the ground
where the pair of Subjugators typically spawn
Jump onto it and you’ll find another Taken Osseous Fragment
Across the gap from Taken Osseous Fragment 3
you’ll find a large lip curled up on the wall
Jump up to it to get another Taken Osseous Fragment
you’ll find the area where Oryx’s throne was back in The Taken King — a circular outcropping
Use the invisible platforms to jump over and you’ll find a Taken Osseous Fragment embedded in a stone pillar
on the far left side (looking from the inside area)
on the platform you spawn into the Trenchway on when it’s your starting location
You’ll see a small lip with a Taken barrier doorway on it
Next to that doorway is a Taken Osseous Fragment
you’re able to get the Moment of Clarity upgrade on the Path of Resolve
you just need to get your reputation up to level 12 and pick up the Moment of Clarity perk at the Shaping Slab
The quest will then ask you to collect the rest of the Taken Osseous Fragments (which we’ve listed above)
You’ll also need to complete a single Expert difficulty run of The Nether
If you’ve already gotten all the fragments and done an Expert run
getting Moment of Clarity will auto-complete the final two steps of the quest and instantly reward you with the Panic Response IV Intrinsic Upgrade
The Barrow-Dyad Catalysts have also started to creep into the game as of Act 2, and also come from secret-adjacent quests.

Students at Ascension Catholic School had an out-of-this-world time at the school's second annual Space Day
where faith and science came together with rocket launches and discussions led by local industry leaders
The school was recently transformed into a galaxy of activities for all ages
Kids spent the day traveling between mini rockets launched high into the sky; talks led by industry professionals; a simulated mission to space; a discussion led by "Sew Sister" Jean Wright
who hand-made thermal blankets to cover space shuttles to protect crew from the heat upon reentry; a relay race through space under blacklights and colorful artwork; and more
All of it was meant to inspire a sense of "wonder and awe" — the theme of this year's event
"We like that theme because it connects the science and the faith," said Principal Claudia Stokes
"We connect it to the creation and God's plan for everybody
there's no way that God can't be here somewhere in the mix."
and teaching kids about space: That was the goal for the day
and industry professionals from around Brevard helped make the day possible at the Melbourne school
Florida Tech and World Innovation Network; Jamie Giguere
author of "ASTRO's Cosmic Quest," a children's book about dinosaurs and space exploration; University of Florida's 4-H; and Aldrin Family Foundation
Getting the students to meet professionals
was important to help them connect with the theme of the day
She helped put together the idea for the first Space Day last year and planned this year's event as well
some of them are pretty high up in the chain of command that are here and saying the same thing
you can believe in God and still have an interest in science and rocketry and things like that,'" said Switanek
Wonder and awe: 'Faith and science work together'Under the bright blue sky
a small group of eighth graders set up model rockets
calculating how to launch them as the breeze blew warm air over them
Their class studied force and motion in the weeks leading up to Space Day
we are having to aim the rockets into the wind so that when they the parachute pops open
they come back and land on our property," Gerrish said
said the formula for calculating how to angle the rockets was confusing
so the wind might be pushing it back," CJ said
It was a good way to practice working together
is something that is an applicable life skill across the board," she said
adding that the stressful time of prepping for a mission is a great time to work as a team
they do a lot together to prepare for missions."
While part of the school participated in outside activities
they scrambled through tunnels constructed from tables and cardboard
Everything was painted dark with doodled stars
Stokes credited Switanek with pulling it all together and said that it took the whole school to pull it off
"(It's been) all hands on deck," Stokes said
adding that even parents helped plan the event and volunteered throughout the day
saying that they all shared a common goal with Space Day
trying to help us to make it a great day for the kids
and that's really what it's about," she said
and we want to engage them with the knowledge that faith and science work together."

The Ascensión, the second album from the experimental electronic project Experiments & Observations on Electricity (EOE), is a captivating journey through the realms of drone, electronic music, and leftfield soundscapes. This album marks a significant evolution for EOE, following the release of the debut album Experiments & Observations on Electricity. It is a deeply personal exploration, born out of both moments of creative frustration and moments of artistic clarity.
One of the most striking aspects of The Ascensión is its sense of space. The artist’s decision to base the album around a loop that gradually evolves over the course of the tracks creates a meditative, almost transcendent experience. As the album progresses, the loops subtly change, introducing new layers, shifting frequencies, and evolving rhythms. The music feels both organic and meticulously crafted, with each movement building upon the last in an almost ceremonial way.
The production of The Ascensión is both meticulous and expansive. The artist’s use of studio techniques to manipulate the sounds, combined with the ambient textures and organic field recordings, creates an atmosphere that feels immersive and vast. There’s a sense of constant change, where each moment in the album feels different from the last, yet it’s all tied together by the same fundamental rhythmic loop.
In conclusion, The Ascensión is a masterful album that showcases not only the evolution of Experiments & Observations on Electricity as an artist but also the power of sound as a tool for emotional and artistic expression. It’s an album that invites listeners to lose themselves in its vast sonic landscapes, offering a unique and thought-provoking listening experience. This is an album that firmly establishes EOE as an artist to watch, and we are thrilled to host it on our webzine.
Super Eyepatch Wolf stops the game completely as a long-haired man who looks a lot like Kojima shows up in a scene
Some other appearances of “Kojima-likes” don’t quite look like the Death Stranding developer
The ones Super Eyepatch Wolf questions at the 51:49 and 1:01:13 marks only really resemble him in that they also wear glasses
just with some real luxurious locks to go with it
Part of me wonders if this is just Silent Hill: Ascension’s character creation tools being very limited
so characters end up sharing a handful of traits that happen to overlap with Kojima’s appearance
But the thought that even one person specifically wanted to put the developer in his past employer’s game as an act of protest is an amusing one
While Kojima is most often associated with Metal Gear
one of his last projects under Konami was Silent Hills
a canceled game co-directed with Pan’s Labyrinth and The Shape of Water filmmaker Guillermo del Toro
The two would later go on to collaborate on Death Stranding
with del Toro being the model for the character Deadman

Father Jorge Miró shares with Exaudi readers his commentary on today’s Gospel, Sunday, May 12, 2024
Today we celebrate the ASCENSION OF THE LORD
a feast that has a deep meaning for our faith: forty days after the Resurrection he was elevated to heaven in the presence of the disciples
until he comes in his glory to judge the living and dead
Jesus Christ unequivocally reveals his divinity: he returns to the place from which he had come
after having accomplished his mission on earth
the Ascension reveals the greatness of the vocation of every human person
Christ ascends to heaven with our humanity that he assumed and that he rose from the dead
Jesus Christ is Lord: he possesses all power in the heavens and on earth… he is Lord of the cosmos and history
He intercedes for us as a mediator who assures us of the perennial outpouring of the Spirit
The Ascension of the Lord marks the fulfillment of the mission of Jesus Christ on earth and the beginning of the mission of the Church as a continuator of the work of Jesus Christ: he put everything under his feet
it is also an eminently missionary and evangelizing festival
Jesus Christ sends the Church – he also sends you – to continue his work of salvation for all men of all times
to preach conversion and forgiveness of sins: Go to the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to all creation
He who believes and is baptized will be saved; he who does not believe will be condemned
Jesus promises us the gift of the Holy Spirit who gives us the ability to live in trust: the apostles asked Jesus: Lord
is it now that you are going to restore the kingdom to Israel
Which is as if you and I were asking him: “Lord
is it now that you are going to solve my problems?”
And Jesus answers us as he did to the Apostles: It is not up to you to know the times or moments that the Father has established with his own authority; instead
you will receive the strength of the Holy Spirit who is going to come upon you
and you will be my witnesses… to the ends of the earth
The Spirit is the one who will do the work of the new creation
He will renew everything… If you let him
And the Lord cooperated by confirming the word with the signs that accompanied them
Those of the new creation that the Holy Spirit is carrying out in the one who welcomes Jesus Christ into his life and that are already announced in some way in the OT (cf
Signs that show the salvation that Jesus Christ brings and manifest his Lordship
In order to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit
he invites you to open your heart and proclaim Jesus Christ Lord of your life
May there be no “corner” of your life unilluminated by the light of Christ
He will never stop loving you… And he will be with you every day until the end of the world
This is the foundation of our hope: the certainty that there is nothing and no one that can separate you from the love of God
