If you are one of the people who didn’t pick Ajax as a starter in The First Descendant and are now seeing the upside of a super tanky character, here’s how to unlock him.
How to Get Ajax in The First Descendant
Ajax is a character that requires some double layers of farming to unlock in The First Descendant. First, you will need to get your hands on his blueprints, and then you will need all the resources required to build those blueprints. This will then allow you to build Ajax himself. You will need to build three different parts, and get the Ajax Code.
To do this, you’ll need to find the right Amorphous Material and then open it using a Reconstructed Device that can be found after their linked boss fights or Void Fusion Reactors. Veterans will know exactly what I am talking about, but for new players, you will possibly need to read those linked guides if things are not clear by the end of this article.
Remember, you will need to open the Amorphous Material for a CHANCE for the blueprint to drop, so you will likely need to farm multiple Materials for each part, then open them by grinding the boss fights. It’s also worth noting that despite being a starter Descendant, you can’t farm Ajax until late game.
| Blueprint | Source and Linked Void Intercept |
|---|---|
| Ajax Enhance Cells Blueprint | Amorphous Material Pattern: 005 – has a 25-80% drop chance from the Albion Resource Defense mission in the Grand Square area of Kingston. The further you make it into the waves, the higher the drop chance. Opened at the Grave Walker Void Intercept boss fight. |
| Ajax Stabilizer Blueprint | Amorphous Material Pattern: 049 – has a 20% drop chance from Defense Line: Vulgus Strategic Outpost mission in the Defense Line area of Fortress. Opened at the Defense Line Void Fusion Reactor. |
| Ajax Spiral Catalyst Blueprint | Amorphous Material Pattern: 031 – has a 12-52% drop chance from the Neutralize Void Experiment mission in the Miragestone area of Agna Desert. The further you make it into the waves, the higher the drop chance. Opened at the Devourer Void Intercept boss fight. |
| Ajax Code | Amorphous Material Pattern: 019 – has a 26-44% drop chance from the Neutralize Void Experiment mission in the Timberfall area of Vespers. Opened at the Executioner Void Intercept boss fight. |
Once you have all the blueprints for Ajax, you need to make the parts using the following resources.
| Ajax Part | Resourcs Required for Research |
|---|---|
| Ajax Enhanced Cells | 430 Silicon 303 Hellion 35 Artificial Biometal Ajax Enhance Cells Blueprint |
| Ajax Stabilizer | 386 Hardener 408 Ceramic Composite 30 Compound Carbon Activator Ajax Stabilizer Blueprint |
| Ajax Spiral Catalyst | 239 Compound Coating Material 462 Shape Memory Alloy 42 Positive Ion Particles Ajax Spiral Catalyst Blueprint |
| Ajax Code | No construction required. |
For farming all the above resources, you can find some details on where to go below.
| Resource | Best Farming Source |
|---|---|
| Silicon | Any Munitions boxes or Resource boxes in Echo Swamp will give you these. Use your Ecive scan to find them; they will be marked with small white diamond-shaped chevrons. |
| Hellion | Any Munitions boxes or Resource boxes in Fortress |
| Artificial Biometal | You can get this from the following missions in Agna Desert Void Fusion Reactor – Agna Desert The Storage Vermillion Waste: Vulgus Strategic Outpost Miragestone: Vulgus Strategic Outpost |
| Hardener | Drops from Resource boxes and Munitions boxes in Vespers. |
| Ceramic Composite | Drops from Resource boxes and Munitions boxes in White-night Gulch. |
| Compound Carbon Activator | Drops from yellow bar “mission monsters” in Mystery’s End or Bio-Lab in White-night Gulch. |
| Compound Coating Material | Drops from Resource boxes and Munitions boxes in Echo Swamp. |
| Shape Memory Alloy | Drops from Resource boxes and Munitions boxes in Hagios. |
| Positive Ion Particles | Drops from yellow bar “mission monsters” in Surveillance Location, Rock Cave Base, Abandoned Reconstruction Site, and Commanding Ground in Agna Desert. |
Once you have all the resources, return to Anais in Albion, where you can research all the individual components. Each one will take eight hours to complete, but you can have them all building at the same time. The research for each part will also cost 200,000 gold, but gold is easily farmed from missions.
Return to Anais after eight hours, collect all the parts, and then load up the research request for Ajax at a cost of 400,000 Gold. This will take another sixteen hours to complete, and when it is over, you can head back and collect and unlock Ajax in The First Descendant. Make sure you check your inventory, as you should already have high level Reactors that are suitable for him.
The First Descendant is available to play now on PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox X|S, and Steam.
