Hidden Path Camp Location

From the very first Supply Camp at Xion, take the path leading east. The Hidden Path Camp lies just beyond the main road, slightly off to the right. Although the location marker may not appear for some players, this guide pinpoints its precise position so that no one misses it.

Engaging Enemies and Finding Vault

Upon arrival at the Hidden Path Camp, enemies will spawn immediately and give chase. Rather than lingering, press forward at full speed until you spot Vault standing beside a lone Telephone in a small clearing. Defeat any foes that close in during this approach to clear the area and proceed uninterrupted.

Triggering the Cutscene and New Map Access

Once the enemies have been killed, go to Vault. A cutscene with Scarlet will play immediately, and when it's over, a brand-new map overlay will be unlocked. Use this plan to get around, then go back to Vault to start more interactions.

Interacting with Vault

Speaking with Vault after the cutscene presents two options: to pet him as a friendly gesture or to browse his inventory. Select the latter to view the exclusive DLC items available for purchase. Each item requires the collection of special currency—Bones—earned through the completion of mini-game challenges.

Collecting Bones from mini-game and Purchasing Items

A new mini-game will accompany Scarlet in various combat scenarios. Defeating this creature yields two Bones, which serve as tokens for purchases in Vault's Shop. Each item costs one Bone, so players must complete every request and challenge posed by Scarlet to amass enough Bones to secure all DLC content.
