NTE Plot Hole Repair Project Anomaly Commission Guide – Neverness to Everness

The Plot Hole Repair Project is one of the more creative Anomaly Commissions in Neverness to Everness (NTE). It takes place inside a surreal, gravity-defying colorless realm where you have to restore color to the world by interacting with specific objects. Each time you restore a color, an enemy called the Inspiration Terminator appears and tries to stop you. Defeat it fast and keep moving.

This guide covers exactly where to find the commission, how to complete every step, and what rewards you get at the end. If you want to earn the Mind Royale Arc weapon, this one is worth doing.

You can download NTE on Android via Google Play or grab it on PlayStation Store.

What Is the Plot Hole Repair Project Anomaly Commission in NTE?

Plot Hole Repair Project is a Common Anomaly Commission located in the Miguel District of Hethereau. It is a Bio Anomaly Commission — meaning the anomalies you fight look like insects or flies. The commission name is a fun play on words. You are literally repairing a plot hole by filling a colorless world with color again.

It is similar in structure to the Reclaim Inspiration Anomaly Commission from the Bridge Crossing area. However, this one has unique wall-walking mechanics and a multi-room layout that makes it stand out.

Plot Hole Repair Project Location – Where to Find It in NTE

The commission is found in the Miguel District, specifically on the porch of a small house north of Northridge Town. You cannot miss it. There is a large colorful vortex — a swirling black portal surrounded by red, blue, and yellow — right at the entrance of the house.

Here is how to reach it quickly:

• Open the Anomagram from your World Map and track the Plot Hole Repair Project.
• Teleport to the Miguel District Wertheimer Tower fast travel point.
• Follow the blue tracking line toward Northridge Town, heading north.
• You will see the colorful vortex near a suburban house — walk up to it and interact using the “Enter the Colorless Realm” prompt.

How to Complete Plot Hole Repair Project in NTE – Full Walkthrough

Once you step through the vortex, you enter a large, cube-shaped colorless realm. Everything inside is grey and washed out. Your only job is to restore color to the space by interacting with five specific colored objects — each one guarded by an Inspiration Terminator enemy.

Defeat each Terminator right after interacting with the object. If you do not defeat it quickly, the color will not be restored permanently. Here is the full step-by-step walkthrough:

Step 1 – Restore Red: Interact with the Fire Hydrant

When you first enter the colorless realm, look around the starting area for a bright red fire hydrant. It will be the only object with visible color in the grey world. Walk up to it and interact — this restores the color red to the surrounding surface. An Inspiration Terminator immediately appears. Use your basic attacks to defeat it before it undoes the color restoration.

Step 2 – Restore Green: Interact with the Surfboard in the Pool

After dealing with the first enemy, look for a wall with a pipe on it. Jump onto this wall — this is where the commission gets interesting. You can actually walk on walls in this area. Use this to navigate to the pool section. Find the surfboard in the pool and interact with it. Defeat the Inspiration Terminator that spawns to permanently restore the color green.

Step 3 – Restore Blue: Interact with the Pool Floatie

From the pool where you found the surfboard, run up the slide. This takes you to another pool higher up. Find the pool floatie (inflatable ring) and interact with it. Kill the Inspiration Terminator once more. This adds the color blue to the realm.

Step 4 – Restore Yellow: Interact with the Scoreboard in the Gym

Go up the two sets of stairs from the pool area to reach a gym. Inside, you will see a scoreboard with some visible color. Interact with the scoreboard and defeat the Inspiration Terminator that appears. Yellow is now restored to the world.

Step 5 – Restore the Final Color: Interact with the Podium in the Assembly Hall

From the gym, either exit through the main door or jump up from the bleachers. Either way, you end up in a large assembly hall. Head to the stage area and interact with the podium. Defeat the Inspiration Terminator one final time. All five colors are now restored to the realm.

Step 6 – Exit Through the Black Portal

Once all colors are restored, climb up onto the stage to find the black portal. Interact with it and select “Unleash Inspiration” to exit the colorless realm and return to the real world. This completes the commission.

Plot Hole Repair Project Rewards in NTE

Completing the commission gives you a solid set of upgrade materials. But the best reward — the Mind Royale Arc weapon — only drops if you defeat the Inspiration Terminator during the commission run.

Here is everything you get:

• Arc “Mind Royale” (S-Class Arc weapon — requires defeating the Inspiration Terminator)
• Hunter EXP x200
• Annulith x30
• Fons x10,000
• U-00NE x20
• Beetle Coin x5,000
• Anomaly Material Selection Box I x4

The Mind Royale Arc is a free S-Class weapon, making this commission very valuable if you are building out your team without spending Tri-Keys. For more on how Arc weapons work, see the Arc weapon tier list for NTE.

Tips for the Plot Hole Repair Project Commission

• Kill the Inspiration Terminator immediately after each interaction. Do not run to the next object before defeating the current enemy, or the color will not be locked in.
• Use wall-walking mechanics freely. The colorless realm is designed around gravity puzzles. Jumping onto walls and running across them is necessary to progress.
• Explore every room. The realm is multi-floor. If you feel lost, look for stairs, slides, or climbable walls to reach the next area.
• Bring a strong DPS character so the Inspiration Terminator fights stay quick and easy. Check the NTE character tier list if you need help picking your team.
• The order of objects is: fire hydrant → surfboard → pool floatie → scoreboard → podium. Follow this top-down path and you will clear it without backtracking.
