Make sure to activate the teleportation portal in the Cleric compound before heading out to meet with the Albs so you can fast travel back once you’ve infiltrated the faction. Elex 2 is an RPG created by German developer Piranha Bytes, and serves as a spiritual successor to the cult hit series Gothic and a direct successor to Elex. Piranha Bytes infused none of that into Elex 2, and seems to be stuck in some ancient design hellscape, likely of their own making, without a visionary ladder to climb.
Luckily, joining them is relatively straightforward, and getting to the rank of Trooper shouldn’t take too long. Without going too far into spoiler territory, Elex 2 runs the full gamut of RPG quests, and players will find themselves doing something different every time they turn around. Annoying mechanics and glacial progression are right up there, too. Janky movement and weak combat top the list.
Elex 2 is bigger and its world is more dense, but Piranha Bytes hasnt really fixed much of what was wrong about the first game. To join the Albs, check out our faction guide right here. When Elex came out in 2017, it filled a niche despite its many issues.

Once you’ve got the “Tough Negotiations” quest marking the map, head northwest to the Clerics’ home base marked by the NPC “Reinhold” on the map.
