A Path Not Yours quest walkthrough in Arc Raiders

The A Path Not Yours quest comes from the Nomadic Envoy and takes place entirely on Blue Gate. You must complete its required objectives in a single round. Bring a zipline or grappling hook if you also want to reach the optional secret stash.

This guide covers the nomad trail, Bilguun’s hideout, the buried gift and the final rewards. For more gaming and arcade coverage, browse the RETROCADE Arcade Blog.

A Path Not Yours quest steps

There are five objectives in total. The secret stash is optional, but the other steps must be completed during the same round.

1. Find the beginning of the nomad trail beneath the Highway Collapse.
2. Follow the trail markers to the nomad hideout.
3. Recover Bilguun’s gift from the buried cache below the hideout.
4. Loot Bilguun’s secret stash, if you want to complete the optional objective.
5. Return the broken compass to the Nomadic Envoy.

Find the nomad trail beneath Highway Collapse

Travel to Highway Collapse in the south-western part of Blue Gate, directly west of Olive Grove. Look just north of the word “Collapse” on the map, slightly beyond the highway’s cover. A small yellow cairn, made from a pile of stones, marks the trailhead.

Interact with the cairn to register the first objective. If you are planning to bring extra equipment for other games at home, RETROCADE’s arcade parts range covers common repair and control components.

Follow the markers to the nomad hideout

From the cairn, head west and use the highway support pillars as your guide. You do not need to inspect every cairn along the route. Continue towards the section where the road has been destroyed; reaching the next area completes this objective.

Find Bilguun’s gift and the optional stash

Bilguun’s hideout is a small room beneath the highway in the south-western corner of the map. The easiest way inside is to use a grappling hook from the top of the highway and lower yourself down. You can also use the existing zipline: ride it from ground level, jump off just before it reaches the top, then climb up.

The hideout is only necessary for the optional secret-stash objective. Inside, look for the bag labelled as the secret stash. It is a prank rather than a genuine reward: opening it triggers a fake explosive device that releases firecrackers.

For the main objective, return to ground level and inspect the base of the nearby pillar. A prompt allows you to dig up the cache. Collect the broken compass and place it in your safe pocket if you have room.

Return to the Nomadic Envoy

Head back to Speranza and speak with the Nomadic Envoy. Completing the quest rewards you with 2,500 XP, one tillurion, two magnets, two batteries and two power cables.
