Mursukorva 160 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) Welcome to the Exploring Eidolon, a thread for passionate explorers of the Plains for Eidolon! The purpose of this thread is to showcase the locations of various points of interest on the Plains of Eidolon, mainly the Twelve caves for the Tomb Looter- achievement and the 20 Thousand-Year Fish Statuettes. If you have any questions or improvement suggestions then please let me know! FAQ: What are the Thousand-Year Fish Statuettes? They're little fish-shaped objects hidden throughout the Plains of Eidolon. There are twenty of them in total, and each one can be scanned with a codex scanner to unlock it's corresponding codex entry. The codex entries contain little lore bits about the plains and it's inhabitants and history (they're essentially Kuria 2.0). Finding and successfully scanning all twenty statuettes unlocks a fish statuette you can place in your orbiter. Progress so far; Caves: 12/12, Thousand-Year Fish Statuettes: 20/20 Below is a map of all the 12 cave and fish statuette locations, and below that is a comprehensive guide for all of the Thousand-Year Fish Statuettes. There are probably more of the Fish Statuettes to be found, so if you find any that are not on this list, please reply with instructions and pictures that are as detailed as possible on how to find them so I can add them to the list. (Edit: After finding the twenty statues I got a fish statuette for my ship, I think 20 is all of them, there is a picture of the statue in the bottom of the post.) Note: All of the corresponding codex entries have now been added to each marker! Thanks for contributing, Tenno! EXPLORING EIDOLON FULL MAP: Spoiler THOUSAND-YEAR FISH STATUETTES: Each of the Fish Statuettes I've found so far are marked on the map. You can most easily find them by travelling to the corresponding map marker and looking for the structures in the images provided for each statuette. Some of these may be much easier to reach with archwing or titania, but all of them should be reachable with any frame. A: "Ancient History" - South-East corner of the plains, a small rock island off the coast. The statue is hidden behind on of the rocks. Be careful not to drop into the sea. Spoiler B: "The Unum" - Eastern part of the plains. straight north from A, on top of a three-column rock formation. Spoiler C: "Amps" - Eastern part of the plains, north from B, inside a cave, fish statuette is in a hole in rock near the water Spoiler D: "Life in Cetus" - North-Eastern part of the plains, inside a cave downhill from a tall grineer tower structure. The statuette is in the back of the cave on top of a rock. (Go past the yellow electrical device to the small corner on the left) Spoiler E: "Cetus" - North-Eastern corner of the plains, north of D, behind a big rock near the edge of the map. Spoiler F: "The Quills of Cetus" - Northern part of the plains, straight west from E, On top of a grineer structure that pumps water. You have to jump on the roof of the building and walk on on of the poles that are extended outwards from the building, then turn to face the building to see the statuette. Spoiler G: "Plains Animals" - Northern part of the plains, north from F, in a fiery grineer mining valley. The statuette is on top of a satellite tower next to the mining device. This is pretty hard to jump to without flying, but it's still possible. Spoiler H: "The Tower's Flesh" - Northern part of the plains, south-west of G, on top of a big spiky rock structure. Spoiler I: "Grineer Excavations" - North-Western part of the plains, west of H, on the roof of a huge grineer structure. Spoiler J: "Merchants of Cetus" - North-Western part of the plains, just a little bit west from I, under a rock where the river starts flowing. (Standing in the river applies the magnetic effect and takes away your energy, but it shouldn't kill you) Spoiler K: "Remnants of Orokin" - North-Western part of the plains, south-west of J, on one of the rock ledges of a huge rock structure which overlooks a grineer camp. Spoiler L: "The Ostrons" - Western part of the plains, almost straight east from K, inside a dual horn-shaped structure. Spoiler M: "The Grineer Tusks" - Western part of the plains, south-west from L, under a part of an orokin tower next to a cave. Spoiler N: "Tools of Harvest" - South-Western part of the plains, straight south from M, on a rock in the sea off the coast next to a tall tower structure and a grineer camp. Spoiler O: "Ostran Artisans" - South-Western part of the plains, south-east of N, Inside a water treating plant. You need to use a mounted turret to shoot the blades of the windmill to disable the windmill, then hack the panel under the windmill and the water pool is drained. The statuette is inside one of the pipes inside the pool. All credit and huge thanks for finding and solving this to my alliance member martinq10q, this is quite possibly the hardest one of them all to find. Spoiler P: "Ostron Patois" - Southern part of the plains, south-east of O, next to a huge shark corpse in a hole in the rock. Hard to see from anywhere else than the small rock in the sea. Spoiler Q: "Scavenging Way of Life" - Southern part of the plains, north of P, inside a cave next to a large two-column rock structure. The statuette is in the back of the cave in a hole in the rock just a bit right from the closed grineer door. Spoiler R: "Plains of Eidolon" - Middle part of the plains, north-east of Q, on top of a large stone structure that stands in a lake. Spoiler S: "Harvesting the Tower" Middle part of the plains, west of R, inside one of the supports of a mining device. Spoiler T: "Eidolon Teralyst" - South-Western part of the plains, west of S, inside the cave you go in during the quest where you help Saya find Onkko. The statuette is inside the middle part of the cave where there is water, behind a rock in the water. Spoiler Other Notes: -Credit for the map template goes to imgur user korndolorous; you can find the original map template here: https://imgur.com/a/3lqJq -If you want me to add pictures of the cave entrances then let me know! (some of the cave markers on the map are weirdly placed.) -Disconnecting or failing your mission while getting both the caves for the achievement and scanning the fish seems to make the ones collected in that mission not count. I would recommend going to Cetus after finding half of them to save your progress, and then continuing with the other half. The fish statuette image and other misc. images from the plains: Spoiler 1. OOH SHINY FISHIE 2. Breathing underwater somehow? Seems weird because I usually get zapped by magnetism 3. Floating Energy Barrier Tower 4. Getting out of the plains map is pretty easy Edited October 15, 2017 by Mursukorva Edit #1 Added misc. text Edit #2 More misc. text Edit #3 Even more misc. text Edit #4- many more edits with misc. stuff Link to post Share on other sites

Valathreon 101 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Neat. This'll save me a lot of time, so I can get back to fishing. Link to post Share on other sites
HikaruSoul 37 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 And I was wondering what was that fish (E) and why it said "CETUS COMPLETE" upon being scanned. Nice job, man. Link to post Share on other sites
NightmareT12 10,625 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) Remember that just like with Cephalon Fragments, the Glass Shards from Saya's Vigil and the Fish statues scans contain a hidden message! ;) And thanks yet again Mursukorva :D Edited October 14, 2017 by NightmareT12 Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps the final reward is a fish skin for the orbiter! :D Edited October 15, 2017 by Mursukorva Link to post Share on other sites
