Getting Started with the Quarry Rescue Quest
Arknights Endfield features a messaging system that lets you stay connected with Operators and characters you’ve met throughout your adventure. Sometimes these conversations trigger new quests, and the Quarry Rescue mission is a perfect example. While it’s not particularly difficult, the door puzzle can definitely leave players scratching their heads if they don’t know what to do.

How the Quarry Rescue Door Puzzle Quest Begins
Your adventure starts with a message from Fiona, the Comms Officer. She’ll direct you to head to the Aburrey Quarry, where you’ll meet Chen Qianyu. From there, just follow your quest marker to locate the quarry entrance—the game does a solid job guiding you to the right spot.
Once you arrive at the locked door blocking your way deeper into the quarry, look for the marked area nearby. You’ll find a rope waiting for you. Use it to descend into the area below and continue forward. This is where the real challenge begins: you’ll need to figure out how to open that stubborn locked door.
The Door Puzzle Solution
Here’s where most players get stuck. The solution involves two floating crates and a forklift—basically, you’re using physics and positioning to hit the buttons that open the door. Let me break it down step by step.
Step 1: Get Inside the Container
Walk into the container structure to reach the forklift sitting inside. This vehicle is your key to moving things around.
Step 2: Lift the First Box
Interact with the forklift to lift the box. This crate needs to go to a specific position, so get it set up in the empty spot next to the container. Think of this as positioning your first puzzle piece.
Step 3: Reach Higher Ground
Now you have both a floating crate and the forklift creating a platform at a higher elevation. Use this to your advantage by jumping up and over to the other side of the area—the side that’s normally blocked by an electric fence. You’re basically using the crates as stepping stones.
Step 4: Disable the Electric Fence
Use one of the floating crates to disable the electric fence blocking your way forward. Once that’s handled, move the second crate into position.
Step 5: Press Both Buttons
Place both floating crates on the buttons located by the door. This activates the mechanism and opens the locked door, letting you progress to the next phase of the quest.
What Happens Next
After successfully opening the door, keep following your quest marker straight ahead. You’ll find an elevator—take it up to the next level. Once you arrive at the top, speak with the UWST crewmate you’ll encounter. Ramon will fill you in on what’s actually happening in the quarry, and this conversation marks the end of the Quarry Rescue quest. Don’t worry though—completing this mission immediately triggers the next objective: the Fix the Super Crane mission.

Frequently Asked Questions
I’m having trouble jumping to the other side after setting up the crates. What am I doing wrong?
A: Make sure both the forklift-lifted crate and the floating crate are properly positioned to create a tall enough platform. You need decent height to leap across. Jump toward the elevated area first, then fall down to the other side where the electric fence is located.
Do I need to disable the electric fence before moving the second crate?
Yes, you’ll need to use one of the floating crates to disable the fence before you can move the other crate into position by the door. It’s a two-step process rather than doing everything at once.
What happens after I open the door?
Follow the quest marker to the elevator and ride it up. Talk to Ramon at the top, and you’ll unlock the next mission called Fix the Super Crane. The story flows naturally from one quest to the next.
Are the quest rewards worth completing this mission?
Absolutely. The Oroberyl, T-Creds, and Combat Records are all valuable resources for upgrading your team. The Intermediate Combat Records specifically are useful for leveling up your operators, so it’s definitely worth the effort.
