Key Points
- Beam Dodger is an obstacle stage where players must dodge beams while collecting hidden chests.
- Smart use of jump pads and rappels is essential to navigate collapsing floors and shrinking pathways.
- Collecting all three chests grants valuable upgrade materials, including T-Creds, Protohedrons, Arms INSP Kits, and Cognitive Carriers.
Beam Dodger is the ninth stage in Cryptic First Revealed under Delver of the Cryptic mode in Arknights: Endfield. In this stage, your objective is to avoid both stationary and moving beams while making your way to the exit and collecting every crate along the path. If you’re having trouble locating all the crates, the guide below will help you find them.
Arknights: Endfield Beam Dodger Stage Overview
| Stage Objective | To reach Protocol Space exits while collecting crates |
| Stage Difficulty | Medium to high as paths start to shrink, along with a lesser time |
| Stage Rewards | 200x Oroberyl, 20,000x T-Creds, 6x Protohedron, and Mark of Perseverance |
| Crate Rewards | 6,000x T-Creds, 2x Protohedron, 12x Elementary Cognitive Carrier, and 14x Arms INSP Kit |
In this stage, there are three chests to be collected while reaching the exits on time. Using environment items like jump pads and rappels, while dodging beams and collapsing floors, is the key to completing this stage.
Beam Dodger Chest Location # 1

To get to the first crate, follow the steps given below:
- From the start of the Beam Dodger stage, take two lefts while dodging the beams.
- You’ll notice a crate straight ahead. But as you approach it, the floor will collapse, leading you to a new location.
- Keep moving ahead while dodging the beams with well-timed jumps.
- Use the jump pad in front of you to get on top of a container. After dodging the beams and using the second jump pad, you’ll spot a rappel rope.
- This rappel rope will take you to the first chest on the opposite platform. Interact with the chest to mark it as open.
This chest will drop 7x Arms INSP Kit, 4x Elementary Cognitive Carrier, and 1x Protohedron.

Beam Dodger Chest Location # 2

Follow the steps given below from the location of the first chest to get to the second chest:
- Find the jump pad located on the right side of the first chest location. From there, you’ll find an empty hallway.
- However, try to sprint past this hallway as it will soon start closing in the beams on you.
- Zipline above to reach a new location. While the stage will continue off in the circular pathway, your chest will be available a bit more to the right, as shown in the image above.
This chest drops 3,000x T-Creds, 4x Elementary Cognitive Carrier, and 1x Protohedron for you as a reward.
Beam Dodger Chest Location # 3

To reach the final chest, follow these steps below, right from the location you found the second chest:
- Now head inside the circular pathway to continue your Beam Dodger stage and jump down.
- There, you’ll notice the Protocol Space exit right in the center, surrounded by beams in a zig-zag manner.
- What you need to do is not jump into the beam maze, but rather go back towards the circular pathway.
- While the entry to the circular pathway will be right over your head, you’ll spot the final chest on the first right from that location.
The final chest will grant you 3,000x T-Creds, 4x Elementary Cognitive Carrier, and 7x Arms INSP Kit. Now you can head over to the Protocol Space exit to complete the Beam Dodger stage.
