To enter the Fallen Emperor, learn the Emperor Gateway Conduit Blueprint, then craft the key with one Plated, one Conductive and one Insulated ARC Coupler. Get the materials from Redirection payloads on Pendola Pass, extract, craft at Workbench I, and return to the socket beneath the Emperor.

Get the Blueprint and Couplers

We target the large upright Emperor Payload. Smaller wreckage around it supplies ordinary ARC materials rather than the targeted blueprint container.

Follow the Redirection Farming Steps

1. Queue for Pendola Pass during Redirection.

2. Find an active Damaged Emperor Relay: look for its red sky beam and illuminated map icon.

3. Search the relay for an Emperor Beacon.

4. Move to open terrain beside hard cover and deploy it.

5. Shelter until the falling debris stops.

6. Breach the large upright payload for couplers and a chance at the blueprint.

The beacon's signal is visible to other players. We choose a deployment site with cover and an escape route, not just an empty patch of ground.

Craft One Complete Recipe

Keep these items for the conduit.

Protect the blueprint first, then one of each missing coupler before duplicates.

Both Game Rant and Arc Raiders Hub identify these recipe components. No verified blueprint drop percentage is provided.

Arc Raiders Hub also reports blueprint drops from Surveyor Vaults, obtained from destroyed Surveyors. That is an alternative opportunity—not a reason to assume every vault contains one.

Craft the Key and Find the Entrance

Extract before crafting. You cannot turn newly collected materials into a conduit during the same raid.

Learn the blueprint, craft at Workbench I, then bring the conduit into a new Pendola Pass match. The entrance is at the Emperor's base in the western part of the map; interact with the socket beside the round hatch.

We separate farming from entry because collecting the complete recipe is only the first stage. Do not carry valuable components toward the dungeon expecting to craft there.

Prepare for Changing Rooms

Learn the room mechanics, not one fixed route. Arc Raiders Hub reports that the ground floor and final loot hangar stay consistent while intermediate trials appear in different orders.

We bring a Snap Hook, healing, shield chargers and a familiar ARC-capable weapon. The community walkthrough recommends Snap Hook for traversal, but that does not establish that every layout has no equipment-free alternative.

Use these cues to avoid preventable setbacks.

The white-light door cue is more useful than memorizing a room sequence that may change.

These room cues come from Arc Raiders Hub's walkthrough, not an independent test performed for this article.

Prioritize Rewards and Leave Time to Extract

Amplification Modules are a primary reward target. We leave inventory space before entering rather than sort a full backpack while hazards remain active.

The Emperor is not the only reported source: Arc Raiders Hub also identifies the Frigate as a module source. Consider that alternative if dungeon traversal repeatedly stops your progress.

Leaving the Emperor is not the end of the raid. Complete a normal extraction to secure the rewards.

How Do You Get the Emperor Gateway Conduit Blueprint?

Breach Emperor Payloads called down during Redirection on Pendola Pass. Arc Raiders Hub also reports drops from Surveyor Vaults, but a reliable drop percentage is not available.

What Materials Does the Emperor Gateway Conduit Require?

Each craft requires one ARC Plated Coupler, one ARC Conductive Coupler and one ARC Insulated Coupler after learning the blueprint. Use Workbench I after extracting.

Where Is the Fallen Emperor Entrance?

The entrance is at the Emperor's base in western Pendola Pass. Use the crafted conduit on the hull socket beside the round hatch.

Is the Fallen Emperor Route Always the Same?

No—Arc Raiders Hub reports different intermediate trial orders between runs. Learn switches, hazards and door-light cues instead of following a fixed room sequence.

Is a Snap Hook Required for the Fallen Emperor?

A Snap Hook is recommended for traversal in the community walkthrough, not verified here as mandatory for every layout. Bring one for a first attempt rather than rely on an unconfirmed alternative path.
