Navigating the murky, fog-drenched corridors of the Howling Pit in Code Vein can test the patience of even seasoned action RPG players. Among the critical collectibles hidden in this region is the Atlas Vestige Part C, an essential item for unlocking powerful passive abilities associated with Yakumo's blood code. Locating this specific fragment ensures that players can maximize their two-handed weapon builds and fully restore lost memories.
Finding the Howling Pit and Nearest Mistle
To begin your search for Atlas Vestige Part C, travel to the Howling Pit area. The most efficient starting location is the Hills of Deception Mistle, which serves as the central fast-travel hub for this section of the zone. From this checkpoint, prepare to navigate through low visibility and treacherous terrain.
Drop down to the lower grounds near the checkpoint and head toward the eastern border of the region. The map layout in this initial sector forms an ear-like shape on the far right side. Staying along the left-hand wall while traveling east will naturally guide you toward the secluded alcove housing the fragment.
Defeating the Guardian and Claiming the Fragment
As you approach the easternmost point of the zone, the pathway narrow into a small dead end. Guarding this spot is a powerful, heavy-sword wielding Lost enemy that aggressively attacks upon entry. Defeating this foe is necessary to safely collect the red glowing vestige fragment resting behind it.
Once the threat is neutralized, interact with the glowing item on the ground to pick up the Atlas Vestige Part C. Acquiring this fragment immediately places it into your key items inventory, making it ready for restoration back at your home base. Be sure to check your map to confirm you have cleared the surrounding area of any remaining threats before fast traveling away.
Restoring the Vestige at Home Base
After acquiring the fragment, return to the Home Base and speak with Io or any attendant capable of restoring vestiges. Presenting the Atlas Vestige Part C along with the other required fragments will repair Atlas Vestige II. This process reveals crucial memory cutscenes that detail the backstory of your companions.
Restoring this vestige unlocks valuable gifts for your character, most notably the Two-Handed Sword Mastery passive ability. Equipping this skill significantly boosts your attack power when wielding heavy weapons like broadswords and greatswords. Taking the time to collect every fragment drastically improves your combat effectiveness in later, more challenging bosses.
