Project: Iron Dawn — complete route

The machine god is awake.

AetherGen built an AI to reverse the damage it caused. The experiment failed, the AI went rogue, and it began building an army. Follow every stage from The Maze to Agartha. Only exact progression-gated fragments remain classified.

Campaign rulesStart at The Maze—no first clue, no campaign.An Orange Keycard is required for every locked Story Room.Trading Story Cards or skipping stages is forbidden.Full classified intel unlocks through Discord when your storyline progress advances.
00Chernarus dossierThe MazeOpen file

CLASSIFIED

Your journey begins here. AetherGen hid their initial protocols inside a twisted labyrinth to weed out the weak. Navigate the maze, find the chest, and retrieve Story Card #1. It contains the coordinates to the source of the panic.

Story Card #1

IChernarus dossierThe SignalOpen file

CLASSIFIED

The workers at the refinery didn't flee; they changed.

The crafting stations are dead, but the portal to the next sector requires Cipher Alpha. Scavenge the industrial buildings or pry it from the mutated factory workers.

Follow Story Card #1 to CLASSIFIED FACTORY. Find the Orange Door, enter the containment zone, secure the Cipher, and face the Toxic Warden.

Story Card #2

IIChernarus dossierThe Shift to SteelOpen file

CLASSIFIED

When flesh failed, AetherGen turned to metal. They used a military prison to test their robotics.

The next portal requires Cipher Beta. It does not drop from random infected. Hunt the heavily armored Iron Dawn Patroller roaming outside the base; he is incredibly hard to kill and will attract every infected in the area.

Enter DATA LOST. The prison is now a fortress for Iron Dawn Prototypes. Use the Cipher, breach the lock, and destroy them.

Story Card #3

IIIChernarus dossierThe OutbreakOpen file

CLASSIFIED

The virus wasn't an accident; it was engineered. The biological experiments were moved to the Bio-Sector at DATA LOST. See your Story Card.

Cipher Omega is hidden inside a custom locked medical crate somewhere in the woods or hangars surrounding the area; enemies do not drop it.

Search the perimeter, secure Cipher Omega, and breach the Green/Yellow Medical Building to defeat Subject Fenrir.

Story Card #4 (Encrypted)

DECChernarus dossierSignal Intercept: The DecoderOpen file

CLASSIFIED RADIO TOWER

Story Card #4 is heavily encrypted. You cannot read the coordinates for the next stage.

Travel to one of the major radio towers (DATA LOST or DATA LOST). Plug the encrypted card into the custom AetherGen terminal and defend your position while the system decrypts the data.

Hold the tower until the encrypted Story Card is decoded.

Decoded AI Core Data — your next Portal Key

IVChernarus dossierThe OverseerOpen file

CLASSIFIED

The Director didn't trust the AI. He fled to a failsafe bunker hidden in the snow.

The bunker portal requires a military-grade Override Chip. Find it at dynamic helicopter crashes or in the highest-tier contaminated zones.

Acquire the Override Chip, find THE HIDDEN BUNKER, and survive the Fire Elemental to retrieve the codes.

Story Card #5 + Special Trader Access Card

VChernarus dossierThe AwakeningOpen file

CLASSIFIED

The AI Core is pulsing. It hid its main servers deep underground, beneath the oldest stone on the map, to mask the heat signatures.

The underground cisterns are completely dark. Venture into the pitch-black tunnels, defeat the Water Guardian, and rip the Master Cipher from the flooded ruins.

Travel to DATA LOST. Descend into the flooded cisterns under cover of night and secure the Cipher.

Story Card #6 — The Kill Code

VIChernarus dossierSector ZeroOpen file

CLASSIFIED

The Architect—the rogue AI itself—has retreated to the massive radar dishes to broadcast the activation signal for its robot army.

Use the Master Cipher to open the heavy blast doors to the Command Bunker.

Traverse the guarded firing range, helipad, and tents; step through the final teleporter; and face The Architect.

Story Card #7 + Nomad Title (The Heart of the Machine God)

VII–VIIIChernarus dossierThe Heart & The BridgeOpen file

RIFT PORTAL

The Architect is dead, but AetherGen survived. The machine drone fades over Chernarus while a final contingency points beyond the island.

Recover the final Chernarus intel and prepare to cross into Deer Isle. Once cleared, the portal needs no additional key.

Complete the last Chernarus directive, then step through the rift when ready to face Apex City.

Story Card #8 + access to the Deer Isle campaign

HUBDeer Isle dossierApex City — Area 42Open file

CLASSIFIED

You survived Chernarus and arrived at legendary Apex City, but the subterranean vault is under complete biometric lockdown.

You cannot enter the inner city without the Master Key. Hunt the AetherGen division heads scattered across the island to forge it.

Search the militarized AetherGen checkpoint around the main bunker doors for your first lead on the executives.

Story Card #9

IXDeer Isle dossierThe BeachheadOpen file

CLASSIFIED

AetherGen's mutant runoff has turned this area into a highly volatile biological dumping ground.

The next portal requires the Naval Override Key. Navigate the multi-level swamp fortress built on wooden stilts over deep water and defeat the Bio-Director.

Survive the toxic gas, cross the narrow boardwalks, and secure the key from the heavily guarded dock.

Naval Override Key + Story Card #10

XDeer Isle dossierThe Floating FortressOpen file

CLASSIFIED

AetherGen established an offshore naval command center to lock down the coastal waters.

The portal requires the Warden's Pass. Push through the claustrophobic barricaded lower decks to reach the open-air arena above.

Breach the lower-deck maze, assault the flight-deck barricades, and execute the Fleet Admiral near Air Traffic Control.

Warden's Pass + Story Card #11

XIDeer Isle dossierThe Black SiteOpen file

CLASSIFIED

AetherGen is using an island prison as an interrogation and execution camp for captured survivors.

The portal to the Crater requires the Excavation Cipher. Breach the execution grounds and the bloody laboratory built into the prison walls.

Fight deep into solitary confinement and execute the Warden to secure the Cipher.

Excavation Cipher + Story Card #12

XIIDeer Isle dossierThe ExcavationOpen file

CLASSIFIED

AetherGen is drilling into ancient occult ruins, where industrial equipment clashes with the Temple of the Blood.

The next portal requires the Rig Access Fuse. Descend through metal scaffolding and halogen work lights to the bottom of the temple.

Assault the drilling site in the darkest ruins and eliminate the Chief Engineer.

Rig Access Fuse + Story Card #13

XIIIDeer Isle dossierThe ExtractionOpen file

CLASSIFIED

Alien technology requires liquid dark matter. AetherGen built a perilous offshore station to extract it from the ocean floor.

The Arctic portal requires the Cryo-Matrix. Climb the deep-sea rig through glowing pipes and sparking server racks—falling into the freezing ocean is a real threat.

Break the supply line, reach the Core Room near the topmost helipad, and eliminate the Rig Commander.

Cryo-Matrix + Story Card #14

XIVDeer Isle dossierAbsolute ZeroOpen file

CLASSIFIED

Dark matter must be stabilized at extreme sub-zero temperatures. AetherGen hid its leadership inside a pristine research dome.

The return portal requires the Apex Vault Master Key. Survive the deadly blizzard across the open ice plains before reaching the dome.

Fight inside the heated dome and eliminate the AetherGen Director at his desk.

Apex Vault Master Key + Story Card #15

XVDeer Isle dossierInto Apex CityOpen file

CLASSIFIED

The Master Key lifts Area 42's biometric lockdown, revealing a neon-lit corporate utopia buried beneath the earth.

The CEO's escape route requires the Dimensional Tether. Descend into the cavern and fight block-by-block through the underground fortress.

Breach the blast doors, reach the CEO's office overlooking the city, and destroy the Architect Defense System.

Dimensional Tether + Story Card #16

XVIDeer Isle dossierThe Alien WorldOpen file

CLASSIFIED

Apex City has fallen, but the CEO escaped Earth through an alien portal and is trying to colonize another dimension.

This is the end of the line: an extraterrestrial landscape corrupted by a hastily built AetherGen forward base.

Step through the gateway, assault the last human holdout, hunt the CEO across the alien terrain, and end AetherGen forever.
