How to reach the F3 Crater in Death Stranding 2?
The F3 Crater isn't just a hauntingly beautiful location in
Death Stranding 2
; it's also tied to one of the game's most elusive trophies. But don't worry, you won't have to wander blindly through tar lakes and BT zones to find it.
This quick guide breaks down exactly when and how to reach the F3 Crater.
Step 1: Progress the Story Until Order 29
Before you even think about setting foot near the crater, make sure you've completed Order 29. This mission links the Mechanic to the Chiral Network and unlocks a key piece of equipment: the Coffin Board.
No, it's not just a flashy name—it's your one and only reliable ride across the deadly tar terrain surrounding the crater.
Making An S Tier Delivery Using The New Coffin Board In Death Stranding 2
Step 2:Unlock and Fabricate the Coffin Board
Once the board is available, head to a fabrication terminal at a major facility like Heartman's Lab or DHV Magellan.
You'll need:
260 Metals
200 Ceramics
30 Chemicals
Once built, keep in mind that the Coffin Board only works within the Chiral Network. So make sure the surrounding area is fully connected—especially Heartman's Lab.
Step 3: Head North from Heartman's Lab
From Heartman's Lab, travel north toward the tar-filled basin. The F3 Crater sits like a black eye in the center of it all. Use the Coffin Board to float over the tar lake. Traditional vehicles will sink, so don't even try.
Step 4: Watch for the BT Alert
As you near the crater, your Odradek will start spinning, and you'll be in the BT territory.

Step 5: Reach the Island at the Center (Optional)
Once you cross the tar and hit the crater, you'll unlock the 'The Scars Left by the Giants' trophy.
Want to explore further? There's a mysterious island in the center of the crater. You can glide toward it with the board—but be warned: it's crawling with BTs. Only go if you're geared up.
Bonus: Unlock Fast Access Later
If you're not in a rush, you can wait until you've unlocked the Adventurer and raised their connection to Level 5. This opens up Sub Order 121, which teleports you directly to the crater, trophy included.
Don't go in empty-handed. Pack weapons, blood bags, and spare materials. The F3 Crater is breathtaking, but it's not a tourist spot. Be ready for a fight—or a fast getaway.

When Karan Johar recalled first meeting with Shah Rukh Khan: "People said he was arrogant"
Bollywood's king Shah Rukh Khan and the talented director Karan Johar share a special kind of bond with each other. However, their first meeting was rather tense. In a throwback interview, KJo, shared that when he first accompanied his father to a film set where Shah Rukh was present, he carried with him the gossip-fuelled belief that the rising actor was 'arrogant. ' But what unfolded was quite the opposite. "Everyone used to say Shah Rukh Khan was arrogant,' Karan remembered. 'But he came up to me, spoke with such warmth and humility, and completely changed the narrative I had in my head.' That day, he said, was the beginning of a bond that would go on to define Hindi cinema in many ways. The First Real Meeting That Almost Didn't Happen Interestingly, Karan recalled a time much before their first meet, long before they became collaborators or friends. At the age of 15, Karan revealed that he had once waited in filmmaker Aanand Mahendroo's office for hours, seated right across from Shah Rukh, but neither spoke a word. "I had no idea it was him," Karan admitted. It was only after SRK left that someone pointed out who he'd been sitting next to. That almost-meeting took on a new significance years later, as Karan and Shah Rukh would go on to collaborate on landmark films like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and My Name is Khan, with their off-screen bond becoming as cherished as their on-screen work. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Providers are furious: Internet access without a subscription!

Go for IT companies with unique business model; not largecap and me-too midcap IT stocks: Dipan Mehta
Dipan Mehta , Director, Elixir Equities , suggests that the IT sector's future lies in companies with unique business models. He highlights smallcap firms like Newgen and Aurionpro as potential winners. GIS companies and Genesys are also mentioned as interesting prospects. Persistent Systems and Coforge are noted for their aggressive strategies. Mehta believes largecap and me-too midcap IT stocks may not offer significant returns, going forward. We all know that this earning season will not come out with a good set of numbers. But if Accenture numbers are anything to go by, is there light at the end of the tunnel because it is not like this is going to be a dark tunnel for the rest of our life? Dipan Mehta: I think that what has happened is that basically there is a secular slowdown in the entire IT industry. The business model is such that they are going to be just about providing application, development, management, and the entire industry has moved to products and platforms. So, again, there is a structural issue in the Indian IT industry and I was quite hopeful that AI would be a trigger for higher growth but certainly that does not appear to be so. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Lana Green Is Retiring - Her Final Jewelry Pieces Are 80% Off Design Craft Weekly Read More Undo In fact, they may get disrupted because of artificial intelligence. And if you look at the 5-10-year track records, these companies at the end of the day have had high single-digit growth despite rupee depreciation. So, what is going to change it? I really do not know. The way the spend is happening in the tech industry, more and more is towards hardware, especially servers of the type that Nvidia makes or chips that Nvidia makes; more investment into data centres, storage capacity; and more investment into platforms and products. Software as a service is the new buzz word. It is a way to decrease cost and none of the traditional Indian IT companies are in that particular space. So, they are going to get disrupted and we are going to see further slowdown there. So, my view remains extremely negative. Sure, there could be rallies. A surprising quarter with 15-20% growth is possible, but the long-term trajectory is very slow. Even though you are largely negative when it comes to this sector, over the last couple of weeks, during sector churn, it has emerged positive for a couple of days. We have seen that the midcap end has done much better than the largecaps. If at all you had to play IT and if you are seeing any hope in this sector, do you believe it could come from the midcap end? Dipan Mehta: No. In fact, it has to come from companies which have a differentiated business model and which are more into products and platforms. Traditionally we had companies like Oracle and Ramco which were into products. There was Nucleus Software also but those have not done as well.

Beyond that, there could be a few IT companies like Persistent Systems, or a Coforge, which are aggressive and which are in the right space. They may do well, but at the end of the day, the largecap IT stocks and a whole host of midcap IT stocks, which are doing a me-too type of a business, are not going to give great returns going forward.

As he "levels up," Jin-woo transforms from underdog to humanity's greatest hope, a journey that has resonated with millions worldwide.
