Understanding Logos

Troops receptive to the Logos language can learn new symbols by visiting ancient Logos Shrines in remote locations on Foreas and other worlds.

A soldier must master one or more specific Logos symbols in order to use Logos abilities.

The Eloh left puzzles in certain areas, which cannot be passed without understanding Logos.

Troops that are not receptive to Logos cannot benefit from contact with a Logos Shrine, but receptive troops should seek them out. Each Shrine contains the knowledge of one Logos symbol. Approach a Shrine and interact with it while standing still. It takes only a few seconds for most “receptives” to learn the symbol of any given Shrine. Note that combat can break this process; neutralise any attackers, then repeat the process when the area is safe.

As you train for new abilities, notice that certain Logos symbols are required in their use. Occasionally, soldiers train in abilities for which they have not learned the corresponding symbols. In such cases, we encourage soldiers to inquire with their comrades for the locations of the appropriate Shrines.

Matching Logos symbols to abilities is an ongoing process within the AFS. Some theorise that there are powers yet to be discovered. AFS Intel speculates that there are thousands of uses for these symbols, possibly more. Thus, we request that troops investigate all Logos Shrines, including those not directly applicable to their ability training.

Some regions, such as the bridge at the center of Valverde Plateau, are known to contain Logos puzzles. Perhaps the Eloh secured sensitive areas to ensure that only a race advanced enough to master Logos could gain access.
