Obliteration Ray in Core Keeper

How to get Obliteration Ray

The Obliteration Ray is an epic laser drill. It drops in the Desert of Beginnings, mostly from Pyrdra the Fire Titan and Alien Tech chests. You can upgrade it from level 17 to 20 at the Upgrade Station.

Drops

• Pyrdra the Fire Titan (Desert of Beginnings): Pyrdra the Fire Titan is the best source, with about a 17% chance per kill. Pyrdra respawns in the Desert of Beginnings about 5 to 6 minutes after its soul fades. ^[1][2]
• Large Alien Tech destructibles and Orbital Turrets have a very small chance to drop it. ^[1]

Locations

• Desert of Beginnings: It can also come from Alien Tech Chests (challenge arena rewards, about 13%) and from Solarite, Locked Solarite and Golden Ancient chests (about 2%). ^[1]

Other ways

• Upgrade Station: To upgrade it, put it in the Upgrade Station. Level 17 to 18 costs 468 Ancient Coins, 35 Solarite Bars and a Desert Ruby. Level 18 to 19 costs 504 Ancient Coins and 38 Pandorium Bars. Level 19 to 20 costs 540 Ancient Coins, 41 Relucite Bars and 20 Corrupted Alloy. ^[3][4]

Tips

• Summon Pyrdra with a Wind Organ of Fire. A Pyrdra scanner shows where it is on the map. ^[2]
• Upgrading does not restore durability. Repair it with Scrap Parts and reinforce it with Solarite Bars. ^[3][1]
