Breathedge 2 Quests & Walkthrough: The Chapter 1 Story, Every Main & Side Quest, and the 39 Achievements

• Objectives come through your journal

  and a white guide line points at the current target, with a distance readout as you get close.

• Quest goals are mostly practical

  find a part, repair a machine, assemble something, or reach a place. There's no dialogue tree or branching to worry about.

• Side quests

  are picked up by exploring — walk into an area and the objective triggers.

• Achievements

  are earned by completing main story tasks, side quests, or random encounters, and every achievement in the game grants a bonus trait — a permanent stat boost (faster walk, slower hunger drain, extra oxygen, and so on). They're listed under the Achievements tab in-game.

One habit pays off: check the Achievements list early. Because achievements give real stat bonuses, a handful of them (oxygen, cold protection, carry weight) are effectively free upgrades if you go grab them.

• Repair the Antenna.

  Find the broken antenna left of the train platform, then collect its two missing parts — Antenna Debris 1 floats past the antenna to the left, and Antenna Debris 2 floats near an asteroid and a chunk of ice behind the train platform.

• Assemble the Attendant.

  Find the attendant platform near the train station (it may be frozen until power is restored). The robot inside is missing her head, torso, and arm: the head floats near the oxygen station to the left, the torso sits under rocks below the platform, and the arm floats above the right one of the two yellow-and-white bridge structures to the right (the Hubble is behind it). Place the parts on the base to reassemble her.

  Reward: the "Every station needs an attendant" achievement, which grants Physical protection +2.

• Repair the Public Oxygen Station.

  Left of the train platform across from the Attendant platform. Costs Metal x3, Electronics x2, Wires x1, and Electrical Tape x3. Once fixed, approach to refill oxygen — and like the train, you'll need to feed it ice to keep it stocked.

• Repair the Ticket Booth.

  Left of the Tickets building. Repair the malfunctioning side (Metal x3, Electrical Tape x2, Electronics x1), then solve the knob puzzle — down, up, right — to drop a token. This unlocks vending machines on the main platform for ice, food, and water. You can also enter the office around the back, repair the console (Metal x4, Electrical Tape x1, Wires x2, Electronics x2), and disable the turret permanently.

• The Playground.

  Near the Hubble screens, this spot has a slide and four lockers, and triggers a quest to hide four yellow kid mannequins. They're scattered around the playground — left of the lockers, near the slide, right at the platform edge, and above the lockers. Stash all four.

  Reward: the "What you don't see can't hurt you" achievement, which grants Radiation protection +10.

• The Foreman.

  Halfway to the third antenna, you'll find a sparking robot — the Foreman. Approach and discharge the current (M2), then repair him with Metal x4 and Electronics x3. He then gives you a short test: the "correct" answers are the sarcastic ones (work done "fast and cheap as f*ck," a hard hat worn "when the g*dd*amn inspector shows up," meetings "every f*cking hour"). Pass it and he repairs the service warmer beside him.

• The Snowman.

  On the way to the 10G antenna, near the Foreman, a snowman is missing five parts: the carrot and cigarette (past the yellow tunnel left, at the "take a drag, betray the flag" billboard — place the cigarette first, then the carrot), the hat (sharp left, circling back toward the Leader statue, at a lit-up billboard), the left arm (past the tunnel right), and the beard (fly forward to the Santa Claus corpse, take a left). Reassemble it for the achievement.

  Reward: the "Building one snowman..." achievement — Cold protection +5.

• Oxygen Nests.

  While repairing service warmers or arriving at the 10G antenna, you'll find oxygen nests. Sui asks you to study them: approach and suck oxygen out of one, then repeat across five different nests. Completing it unlocks new crafting recipes, including a way to refill oxygen on the go.

• The Strange Toilet.

  Near the 10G antenna/memorial and Chuck's Taxi station. Break the beams off the door with the Scrap tool, slot a battery in (one floats nearby), then fix the panel (Rubber x2, Techbits x2, Aluminum x4) and the wiring (Plastic x2, Refined Metal x2, Electronics x2). Open the door for a collectible off the seat, and press the red button for the achievement.

  Reward: the "Just another toilet" achievement — Cold protection +10.

• Chuck's Taxi.

  Inspect the graffitied billboard of Chuck's face near the memorial to start the long repair chain at the taxi platform: break the ice on the pump, fix the generator and cable (battery + Aluminum x2, Wires x1, Electronics x4, Battery cell x2), the radiator (Refined Metal x2, Electrical Tape x2), and the solar panel hinge (Techbits x1, Titanium x2, Refined Metal x2), then search the taxi, place the three missing sign letters (C, R, L — all floating around the platform), and drink with the two robots (craft alcohol from Nutriworm x1 + Ice x1 for two more rounds). Finally, insert the device the robots give you into the center structure, activate the console, and fly in to meet Chuck.

  Reward: the Alphabet achievement (Thirst Drain Rate -5%), which comes from fixing the sign.

More side quests may exist beyond these ten; the list reflects what's documented for the current Early Access build.

• Sui

  a companion you pick up automatically on the way out of the train. Sui's hand is even used for a specific action (yanking moles), so it's more than a background character.

• Babe

  the main quest-giving NPC of Chapter 1. The "Help Babe" questline drives most of the early game. Who she is, where to find her, and the first-game difference: the Babe guide.

• The AI

  the sarcastic AI that lives in your spacesuit, your running commentary and guide.

• The chicken

  the immortal series mascot, and the game's very first objective.

• The Attendant

  the robot you assemble through a side quest, who helps with base upkeep once built.

• No spoilers

  game type, Early Access status, and the story premise (the Breathedge Corporation's war, the Man and his companions).

• Light spoilers

  the Chapter 1 quest names and steps above.

• Heavy spoilers

  the chapter's ending and plot twists — not covered here yet, and worth experiencing blind.

1. Assuming the white line is the whole answer.

   It points at the goal, not the route. You still have to find your way — past turrets, through sealed sections, and back with enough air.

2. Skipping the achievements.

   They grant real stat bonuses. Grabbing the easy ones early (oxygen, cold protection, carry weight) is effectively free progression.

3. Expecting a finished story.

   Chapter 1 only. The plot is a work in progress like the rest of the game.

• Achievements & Bonus Traits→

  The full 39-achievement list with every stat bonus.

• Getting Started→

  How the opening actually flows (feed the chicken, off the train, first repairs).

• Ticket Booth→ / Snowman→ / Twister→

  The specific side quests and tools on this page — the Ticket Booth knob puzzle and the Snowman parts have their own pages, and the Twister unlock is on the tools side.

I'm stuck on a quest. What's usually wrong?

A missing tool or material. Most quests are repair jobs that need a specific tool (Scrap, Cutters) or material (Electronics, Electrical Tape, Aluminum). Check the recipe against what you can gather.

How long is Chapter 1?

Roughly 8–12 hours for a full playthrough of the current content, depending on how much side content and achievement hunting you do.

Do achievements matter beyond bragging?

Yes — every one gives a permanent stat bonus. They're gameplay-relevant, not just trophies.

Will there be more quests?

Yes. Early Access means the story, quests, and achievements will keep growing through the 16–20 month window.
