How to Get Ines Raya in The First Descendant?

Getting Ines Raya in The First Descendant takes a few steps and focused farming for specific materials and parts. This guide will show you the whole process, from understanding what you need to efficiently gathering the necessary items.

The recent Season 2 update added Ines Raya as a new character, and here’s a detailed guide to help you get her quickly and efficiently.

Materials and Blueprints Needed

Getting Ines Raya requires several catalysts, materials, and blueprints. Here’s what you need:

  • 9 to 12 Catalysts (number changes based on your specific build)
  • 1 Energy Activator
  • Enhanced Cell Blueprint
  • Stabilizer Blueprint
  • Spiral Catalyst
  • Ines Raya’s Code

These materials and parts can be found in the Void Vessel, though some can also be gotten from resource and supply boxes around the game world.

Steps in the Void Vessel:

Data Vaults
Data Vaults
  1. Start at the Void Vessel Console: It’s near the entrance. You can only get Ines Raya on hard difficulty mode.
  2. Time Management: During the mission, interact with objects to buy time. The more time you have left when you beat the boss, the more rewards you’ll get.
  3. Data Vaults: Choose the right data vaults based on the parts you need:
    • Intact Data Vault: Higher chance for Ines Raya’s Code
    • Imperfect Data Vault: Higher chance for the Spiral Catalyst.
    • Restricted Data Vault: Higher chance for the Stabilizer.
    • Lost Data Vault: Higher chance for the Enhanced Cell
  4. Resource Efficiency: To get the most out of your time, try to keep at least 2 minutes on the clock during the boss fight. This increases your chance of getting the needed data vaults.

Important Tips

  • No Decryption Keys Needed: When farming the broken material storage boxes, you don’t need any decryption keys.
  • Mix of Luck and Strategy: Use a pity system to make sure you meet the required drop rates.

Crafting Ines Raya

Once you’ve gathered all needed parts and materials, you can start the research process.

  • Research Time: Each part takes 8 hours to research, while Ines Raya’s Code takes 16 hours.
  • Total Time: The whole process involves crafting and waiting, so it’s important to manage your resources and time well.
