Deep Desert Unrecovered Shipwreck Guide - The Deep Dark Wreck

Written by MJM - 26th June 2025

The Deep Dark Wreck is named so because it is long, full of traps and difficult to navigate in the dark. I can tell you that this one took us quite some time to map out!

The Wreck has two ID Bands (only one that is required to get the Reward Chest) and no mandatory combat. Once you know the route, you can breeze through it.

The Deep Dark Wreck - Map & Route

Purple ID Band

Entering from the 'right' side (assuming you are facing the front entrance) will give you the shortest path, but it doesn't really matter which entrance you start from. For the route shown above, we've assumed the front entrance.

Head in through the opening tunnel and hang a right to reach the side corridor. Follow that all the way up and along until you hit the green locked door. Take a left to enter the second main room.

Note: This wreck is a bit unusual in that you can't access the second main room from the first, this is what can make it feel really confusing when you don't know where you are going because both rooms are similar.

You will notice a faint purple glow from one of the vents at the end of the room when you look up, head in there and follow it through, grabbing the Purple ID Band on the way. It will throw you back out into the same room you started in.

Reward Room

Head out through the end of the room you are in (the second large main room) and continue forward through a couple of short tunnels until you will see a purple locked door.

You've reached the bridge (control room) and the Reward Chest will be in the centre. Exit back out into the Deep Desert from the side of the room.
