Find and collect the “Keys” for the sealed gate (0/4)
There are four Red Key Symbles you have to find to open the barrier to the boss room. You also have a map now, which makes it much easier to navigate this area. Start by turning around from the area you were in before, and you should see some dogs walking around. Run past them, heading south and into the building. On your right should be an elevator. Take this elevator up and defeat the enemies at the top. Key 1/4 is located at the top of the elevator.
Head back down the elevator, then north. Head as far north as you can until the path splits left or right in front of a building with an explodable wall. Turn left and up. Defeat the Landbreakers here and grab Key 2/4.
Turn around and head back south until you see a rope east of your location. Descend the rope.
As you land on the bottom, turn around, and you should see another rope and a zipline. Head down the next rope.
At the bottom will be a gate and a switch. Activate the switch to open the gate and head past it. Defeat the two large Landbreakers and head around the corner to find the next Key 3/4.
Head back up the rope you used to descend to this location. Run all the way across the platform east until you see the next rope at the other end. Descend that rope. At the bottom, turn around, and you head down the pipe. Drop down and turn left to go down the next pipe. Continue down the path until you reach the staircase. Activate the bridge to create a shortcut.
From there, continue up the stairs, and you’ll encounter three Landbreakers. Defeat them and grab Key 4/4.
Defeat the boss of Aberrant Zone I
Once you have all four keys, return to the campsite. From the campsite, the big red barrier in front of the campsite to the east should now be lifted. Head past it and begin your battle with the boss.

Once defeated, you’ll be asked to scan the Aberrant Core that’s in the boss area.
Leave the Valley’s Aberrants
