Playing Arknights Endfield can present some tricky obstacles, especially when you encounter those mysterious Ankhor barriers blocking your path like the one Royle faced. From my experience, the key is to focus on neutralizing the remaining Ankhors connected to the Origin Lodespring points to fully dispel the barrier and open progress. I found it really helpful to pay attention to the game’s environmental cues; the 'Old Mines' and 'Lodespring Crossing' are significant landmarks to keep an eye on. For example, when one of the Ankhors activates itself, it signals a critical part of the puzzle you need to address. Using your team strategically around these points, especially coordinating with Nicola the Comms Officer or Fiona, ensures smooth communication and effective action. Another tip is not to rush the bridge area once it’s put up. Take a moment to assess the surroundings—often there are hidden tasks connected to these barriers that tie into the larger mechanics of the game. Patience and attentiveness have helped me overcome several stuck moments, making the journey through Endfield both challenging and rewarding. Overall, tackling these Ankhor barriers requires both strategic use of your character's skills and a good understanding of the in-game environment. Each part you neutralize brings a sense of progress and accomplishment toward unlocking more of what Arknights Endfield has to offer.
