The First Descendant Encrypted Vaults need Code Analyzers to open them up and get their rewards.

You also don’t have to find the green hologram- that just indicates that the Vault is nearby.

This timing isvery sensitive,and frankly a bit suspect.

Aim to get it square in the middle of the highlighted zone when you press it.

The whole minigame is timed, andmistiming the input will cause the timer to drop even faster.

If you succeed, the vault opens and you get the reward inside.

Opening Vaults can also sometimes tie into optional side quests, like Magister’s Hidden Assets.
