Infiltrating the Offshore Oil Rig Strongholds

The biggest endgame challenge in Sakurajima is the Rayne Syndicate Oil Rig. Situated off the southern coast, the facility is protected by high-caliber automated laser turrets that will instantly shoot down flying Pal mounts.

To infiltrate successfully, players must approach via water mounts like Jormuntide or surf across the waves with Azurobe before scaling the maintenance ladders in stealth.
