Note; The Enigmatic Fortress drop rates have changed. At the moment you only get one item. However it'll change again in 1.8. Updates on this subject are coming.
it's entirely possible for the fortress to spawn just a mere few systems away from your starting position. (though in the newer updates, it (probably) won't spawn on chokepoints)
You forgot that there's a fourth option after the tower event. If you have the strategic resource dark matter, you can insert dark matter into the enigmatic fortress and get all five techs from it (I think it's the same as if you use the black hole researcher)
especially if you get lucky and do the best path (the one that also gives you the 30% bonus to the techs) (the middle), because somehow that happened the first i got the fortress what on -earth- galaxy
idk why but in my game the last AE somehow get a 1 million fleet (there's a 40K dreadnought mix in). I saw that after my mega structure satellite up and running and that was "holy sh*t" moment for me. After finish the Enigmatic Fortress and research all special tech I manage to topple them with my 3 150K each fleet (450K total). I lost almost 70K for that.
If you have the tech and strategic resource you can "supply your own dark matter" during the third phase. this will give you access to all the tech plus 30% progress and finish the event chain. The enigmatic fortress is also the best encounter you can get. Those techs are really usefull and give you an edge over everyone else. If you're in a federation - leave it. You don't want that tech spreading to other species.
wait really? that I have never seen before, and I have tested this thing extensively myself as well. Then again i never had dark matter when testing it.
ASpec agreed. it ususally only happens when I discover the fortress super late in the game, either because it's literally on the other side of the galaxy and/or in the borders of an empire with closed borders (damn them!)
I've had issues with it on console I complete either home system or black hole research and it just gives me the decoder and encoder nothing else and it's have a few times.
I got the last ending where I picked the middle... (after like the 10th fail when combined with all my other fails, because THERE IS NO WAY THEY PUT THE CORRECT CHOICE IN THE MIDDLE....(some time later)..... THEY DID, FUCK!) But, since I actually forgot all about my choice path, this video is sure to end up very, very useful sometime in the future. :D
Heads up guys: If your ship has a mega canon, and a carrier combat computer, which suppisedly keeps the ship at 150 range, IT IS NOT FAR ENOUGH!! If that is 150, the fortress's weapons can reach that far too. I will update this comment as i try the other weapons too, including the Titan with it's supposedly 250 standoff range.
This happened to me during a war with an Awakened Empire with my fleet power at 400k to 500k and the AE at roughly the same. 🙃 Time to buy a new laptop.
Want to go to war? This is the thing for you, don't get a baby dragon or extra research on a black hole, instead get super mega awsome techs even better than the FEs
Apathyman the mundane don't be, the Zithorian Empire right now is in the might of an awoken Empire who has 160K fleet power, and I got an unbidden spawn right on top of me killing my entire fleet and I was only able to survive with a surgical strike. When it got into the AE's power I lose all of my Vassals and tributaries (1/4th of the galaxy) making me surrounded by them. now I got 1 and 1 thing to do : get minerals to get a fleet to kill them with superior shielding and evengually superior armor as I don't have the dragon yet as it's on the other side of the center.
As a little side note once I've defeated the fortress: With Gestalt Consciousness the whole event chain is skipped and you'll get 2 technologies with 30% completion
The Commonwealth of Man will use this fortress to great advantage, I have to deal with it anyway since two terran class planets are in the same system as it.
Imagine staring with a system loaded with barren worlds with moon getting the Horizon signal event chain, then finding this in a neighboring system of your home world staring point. Broken start?
I finally found this in one of my games and...I discovered it's bugged since 2.0. Take it down the first time, get the initial message about sending a team, then no other options appear. The fortress then starts to regenerate every month, repeating the same initial message. I really hope they fix it soon!
This bug has saved my galaxy from an Awoken Empire. The AE is obsessed with destroying it before starting it’s reclamation of the galaxy. AE sends in a +100K Fleet. blows up the fortress, leaves, returns, then blows up the fortress again.
It doesn't fix for me ;/ Still don't have option, It pisses me off because fortress in on other part of galaxy than my empire and repairing my fleet and returning to destination is very time consuming ;/
It has been years and Paradox hasn't yet fixed the army section of Stellaris. But stuff like this? Sure! Here you go. Imagine how cool it would be if you can edit devisions in stellaris: Choose the weapons (plasma, laser, kinetic, rocket), choose if give them shields or armor or leave them without, choose what strategem/tactic the army leader can opt for during an invasion. Heck! I'd settle for being able to change the icons of the armies just to distinguish which army is which.
theres actually a 4th method at the end. u can deploy dark matter if u have it in store. doesnt change much. it does almost the same as the black hole research. the only things different are that there are 3 drops with 16% and 2 with 33 % chance to drop.
Can't say if it was possible back then, but you can't out range the fortress now; I set up ships with Tachyon Lances (Size X, 150 Range) with a carrier combat computer (fire from 150 range)- the fortress was firing as soon as the ships entered the system, and they had to fly half-way in to return fire
Huh, I actually know what that puzzle is for the third stage (the metal tori and the poles). I can't recall its exact name for the life of me (Google Search: Tower of Hanoi). Essentially, you move the rings, one at a time, from the left to the right, with the order being the same in the end as the beginning (largest on the bottom, smallest on top).
This video was really helpful as I have recently found this in my playthrough and had no idea what to do and was about to send a fleet of 10k power to attack it lol
@@Alex-nk7hv yeah usually when you have a total fleet power of 50k they say smth like "you have some of the greatest fleets ever we are sure you'll win" so basically just stick with 30-50k before trying anything, preferably the higher option which is what I did
Hey, I really like your vids and I love the Stellaris, too. I see your series Mankind Prevails, AI Returns, etc., and thought that it would be a great series if the viewer could choose what to do (like wich ethics, perks, allies, war, etc.), so every day like a 10 min episode and at the end the viewer can make a desicon what do you do next. What do you think about the idea?
*first time i saw it* Me: huh... thats a big fort *200 years later* Me: alright this for is in the middle on my empire and is blocking my transport way i need to take it down *sends in 2.2k fleet* *Fleet arrived* *2 seconds later* *the whole Fleet died* Me: . . . . OKAY! lets not fuck with that
My fortress defenses were knocked down, then they'd pop back up in like 10 seconds so I'd break it again and id get dozens of pop ups about boarding it
I was looking for anything on the "Destruction of The Enigmatic Fortress Construct opportunity" with more or less the full sentence or other enquiries. I could not find _anything_ on this _anywher_ on the _entire internet_ at least in what results showed up... And, as per usual, the Paradox wikis, bless them, are woefully inadequate for anything but the most basic info available - and this goes across _ALL_ of their games. I mean, I'm not going to wait for an answer here whether to let some of my pops die or not and whether there will be some cataclysm event like with the Dimensional Horror... just have to try and fail I guess... However I am leaving this comment here because maybe you'd like to update or make new videos based on what actually happens _AFTER_ because that's what really is interesting IMO, anything before that is kinda... trivial... Thank you
I'm having trouble activating the quest chain, in my past two play throughs I've defeated the Enigmatic Fortress but nothing happened, both times I went for around 20-25 years after defeating it and nothing happened. Am I missing something? Is there a console command I could input to maybe force the chain to start?
my curator is bugged I can get evrthing but when I ask about anything I get the bonus or in this case how to power it it shows the text for less then a second so I failed the enigmatic puzzle
Yeah I guess it change a bit. Obviously. Right now they are 4 ways to finisz instead of 3 and from what I experienced the star research works the same way.
Well with gigastructural constructs mod I discovered it three times in same game. First was regular one, and the two others were in systems i discovered with the E.H.O.F Well got the fortress surpassment event three times was pretty good.
Started a game and bam Enigmatic Fortress right in my territory not sure if that can happen without mods screwing with empire spawning or not but that"s really awesome that i have the broken tech near the beginning. Let me know if this is something that can normally happen or if it has to do with mods.
The first time I was able to defeat and enter the fortress was very disappointing because it bugged out, showing a prompt every couple of seconds on what I would like to do with it. And the worst part was that this ruined my whole run because I was in ironman mofe. I’ve never dared to enter the fortress ever since
Are you going to do anything with the horizon signal DLC? I tried triggering it in one of my saves, but the amount of options that exist, and the randomly occurring events are both ridiculously numerous. I might have to try it in some more test worlds, but it is definitely worth taking a look at.
I haven't looked at Horizon Signal yet, mainly because it hasn't popped up and the scripts for it are very obscure. I may trigger it and see how it works.
The command I used was event akx.8888. Make sure you are selected a science ship while in orbit of a black hole to trigger it. Also, never assume that it's over. That just means that the worm is taking a break. There will be more. Also, you can trigger it multiple times per save.
Wow. 7 years ago. Yeah. Shit has changed. I only got the encoder and decoder from the "correct" option. The deflectors and what-not dont exist anymore it seems, and yes the star system is extremely nerfed to just a couple of planets (one of which was inhabitable anyways)
First time it worked now ITS byggde and in every game it says the fortress is defeated and then i cant research it at all do eny one know how to fix this
So I was a gestalt consciousness and I defeated the fortress but it just blew up and only gave me the encoder and decoder .-. I didn’t get any of the other researches and it didn’t let me go through the event chain.. any reasoning for this?
I do have a question since i have not had luck to test it myself, ba! even to encounter said enigmatic fortress. Does the tech you get, enigmatic deflectors etc. can be salvaged from your ships or not. I have been looking through the forums but have not found anything. Thanks
Great video I did everything as you said and now I have the technologies btw I found something strange The fortress' system has 3 infested worlds after the event chain's end, along with 2 tomb worlds and an arctic world in the new utopia expension. And no prethoryn anywhere in the galaxy. One question : Wtf??
Hello, I found this fortress quite late in game, I think IA took it down and there is trying to repair itself and its heal is 100% but now I can't atack it. What should I do?
It really sucks that this event tends to bug out most of the time for me with modded Stellaris. The last 2 saves I've played I've had the fortress reactivate shortly after I defeated it and have to kill it 4 times before I can finally initiate hyperlane jump and GTFO
Can you use console commands to spawn events into your game? I only had stellarite on my entire map and want more. The console commands I found did either not work properly or were plain wrong.
The spawning of Guardians is handled by the map generator as far as I know. I don't think that there's a way to spawn them quickly once the game has started.
Now i have a problem, at the point where you reach the large room where you have 4 choices i picked the 4th one by accident, now since i can not progress any further with this is there any way in which i can restart this event. Like idk per command or is there away in general to do so without having to start a new game!
ASpec Hello I did all the options that i could over and over again but it gives me only 2 techs encoder adn decoder i cant get other techs do you know why?
maybe it is an update ? i found out that now you can use a LV 7 scientists at the last part just research the Fortress to end it and still get all the 30% research point
no that is not what i mean at the last part myself with 4 thing that I can research at the log home system research ( lv 1 up scientist) with Force black hole research ( lv 5 up scientist) AND refill dark matter ( lv 7 up scientist) I think it will only show up if you have the strategic resource Dark Matter.
You'll need a tier 5 scientist in a ship. You're better off using a lvl 1 and researching the star and then picking the middle option. Adds an additional step but works just as fine.
so i disabled it but never got an event chain, its still there but it wont give me any options? am i supposed to wait? are there prerequisites i need before i can enter it?
its a common bug - I had the same problem....I crushed the fortress - it recharged and nothing - for 2 years....so I reload (thank god I didnt go for Ironmode) - it happened again (tho some people fixed it by reload save file) - all you need to do is little cheat by command concole - just destroy the fortress, wait until it recharge and type: "event guardian.2150" - voala situation log updated and ready to go :-)
I recently completed the Enigmatic Fortress event chain I managed to do the part with researching the black hole But when i was done, i only got the decoder Have i done something wrong?
I am annoyed now. I attacked the enigmatic fortress while it was just barely within another empires influence, and near the end of the fight, they sent their fleet to help. I think they got the last hit on the thing, because when the vault was disabled, I got no prompt or event chain whatsoever.
they were as big as I was, and we were both entrenched in federations, I would have had to goad both alliances into the fight, and I'm not sure I'd have won that, especially given the fact that I lost about half my fleet killing the damn thing, and the fact that they probably had the enigmatic tech.

I literally just did this chain, was so excited, then realised it only gave me one tech. Gutted :'(
+storm626 :(
Hadn't had a single encounter since the beginning of the game and found the fortress XDDD
it's entirely possible for the fortress to spawn just a mere few systems away from your starting position. (though in the newer updates, it (probably) won't spawn on chokepoints)
Your video also missed the supply anti-matter option if you have it as a strategic resource.
You forgot that there's a fourth option after the tower event. If you have the strategic resource dark matter, you can insert dark matter into the enigmatic fortress and get all five techs from it (I think it's the same as if you use the black hole researcher)
Peter Wallace if you use the black hole way, do you get the techs already researched or not?
Wolf Schadow no only 30% completed
Go with the Black Hole using the T5 Researcher if you desire all five techs, using dark matter will give you Encoder and Decoder only.
@@sirknight0700 it only gave me encoder and decoder
Did he forget? Or did it not exist at the time? I'm not seeing it on the RUclips video.
This is one of my favorite encounters. The rewards are fantastic and give you an edge over every other civilization, including fallen empires.
especially if you get lucky and do the best path (the one that also gives you the 30% bonus to the techs) (the middle), because somehow that happened the first i got the fortress
what on -earth- galaxy
if u can defeat it, why u scare of FE/AE, this is nonsense.
idk why but in my game the last AE somehow get a 1 million fleet (there's a 40K dreadnought mix in). I saw that after my mega structure satellite up and running and that was "holy sh*t" moment for me.

Hmm, wasn't aware of that, though Dark Matter is pretty late game I doubt it's good to wait that long.
wait really? that I have never seen before, and I have tested this thing extensively myself as well. Then again i never had dark matter when testing it.
ASpec agreed. it ususally only happens when I discover the fortress super late in the game, either because it's literally on the other side of the galaxy and/or in the borders of an empire with closed borders (damn them!)
I did it via dark matter. The station was on the opposite end of the galaxy from me.
ASpec how do you tath cinematics? only with the camera?
Honestly this video helps a lot since they added the new DLC for console
This is with utopia? Or is it already in the game?
Leviathans
Ok
I've had issues with it on console I complete either home system or black hole research and it just gives me the decoder and encoder nothing else and it's have a few times.

I really enjoy your video's man, you definitely earned this subscriber. Keep up the good work.
Heads up guys:
If your ship has a mega canon, and a carrier combat computer, which suppisedly keeps the ship at 150 range, IT IS NOT FAR ENOUGH!!
If that is 150, the fortress's weapons can reach that far too.
I will update this comment as i try the other weapons too, including the Titan with it's supposedly 250 standoff range.
Yoo any updates?
Time to confess. Ive been far too occupied with my newfound career to take a moment to test it.
Probably gonna take this comment down. Sorry guys

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuiiii
SPOILER ALERT
I lost my entire goddamn fleet of ~100k because I didn't expect this thing to explode >.<
Cool stuff.
I did warn you.
does it always explode?
If you use force at the end, yes.
This happened to me during a war with an Awakened Empire with my fleet power at 400k to 500k and the AE at roughly the same. 🙃 Time to buy a new laptop.
Thank you for the warning
Want to go to war? This is the thing for you, don't get a baby dragon or extra research on a black hole, instead get super mega awsome techs even better than the FEs
ah, but combine the enigmatic shields with the artificial dragonscales, and you get something even greater.
Apathyman the mundane then you get the Wombo Warmongering Combo, the ultimate combo for wrecking shit up, luckily I got both.
I am envious
Apathyman the mundane don't be, the Zithorian Empire right now is in the might of an awoken Empire who has 160K fleet power, and I got an unbidden spawn right on top of me killing my entire fleet and I was only able to survive with a surgical strike. When it got into the AE's power I lose all of my Vassals and tributaries (1/4th of the galaxy) making me surrounded by them. now I got 1 and 1 thing to do : get minerals to get a fleet to kill them with superior shielding and evengually superior armor as I don't have the dragon yet as it's on the other side of the center.
The Ministry of Stars (my empire) wishes yours luck.
Right as I finished the video I found the station and my poor science ship came out of the hyper lane right behind it
As a little side note once I've defeated the fortress: With Gestalt Consciousness the whole event chain is skipped and you'll get 2 technologies with 30% completion
Jan-VGH Thats what happened to me, i had the “Driven Assimilator” Gestalt Consciousness
The Commonwealth of Man will use this fortress to great advantage, I have to deal with it anyway since two terran class planets are in the same system as it.

YES FINALLY A TUTORIAL OF IT
Thanks for the info !
theres actually a 4th method at the end. u can deploy dark matter if u have it in store. doesnt change much. it does almost the same as the black hole research. the only things different are that there are 3 drops with 16% and 2 with 33 % chance to drop.
Thank you ASpec.
No worries!
With a 30k fleet outfited with giga cannons, kinetic weapons, and plasma cannons, the fortress shreds through destroyers.
Hey
I just realized the enigmatic fortress give your ships the ability to have enigma machines a 1930's encryption method.
Thank you!

What should I use for defense when attacking the fortress? Shields, or armor?

Lowkey wished we could've taken over the fortress and turn it into like a star base...that would've been eppicc
I watch the video and suddenly one of the federation people had a machine civil war why?
The worst things is i'm on ironman mode.
My god another one
Another question, do you have a tutorial for how do design your ship's weapons systems?
simple: use what fucks up your enemy the most
In 2.1 if you are Gestalt Consciousness (robot) you'll simply destroy the station and get some research points and Enigmatic Encoder & Decoder.
Well with gigastructural constructs mod I discovered it three times in same game. First was regular one, and the two others were in systems i discovered with the E.H.O.F
Well got the fortress surpassment event three times was pretty good.
Do not try the outranging method, I set all of my ships to stay at 150 range and they got annihilated.

I do have a question since i have not had luck to test it myself, ba! even to encounter said enigmatic fortress. Does the tech you get, enigmatic deflectors etc. can be salvaged from your ships or not. I have been looking through the forums but have not found anything. Thanks
Ye, it can be salvaged from your wrecks.
I shot a torpedo at the heart and I got nothing.
Great video
I did everything as you said and now I have the technologies
btw I found something strange
The fortress' system has 3 infested worlds after the event chain's end, along with 2 tomb worlds and an arctic world in the new utopia expension. And no prethoryn anywhere in the galaxy. One question :
Wtf??
Sounds like a bug, they should all be molten if you've gone with ''Shot Through the Heart''.
ASpec no, actually, I used the black hole research option.
Hello, I found this fortress quite late in game, I think IA took it down and there is trying to repair itself and its heal is 100% but now I can't atack it. What should I do?
You've prolly missed the window where you could do something with it. :
If you go to war can other player's get it by researching the debri ?
It really sucks that this event tends to bug out most of the time for me with modded Stellaris. The last 2 saves I've played I've had the fortress reactivate shortly after I defeated it and have to kill it 4 times before I can finally initiate hyperlane jump and GTFO
yo i destroyed the fortress but nothing appears in the situation log :c
what is your ship design ??
ahhh 1.5. I ..actually cant remember it.
Can you use console commands to spawn events into your game? I only had stellarite on my entire map and want more. The console commands I found did either not work properly or were plain wrong.
The spawning of Guardians is handled by the map generator as far as I know. I don't think that there's a way to spawn them quickly once the game has started.
Has the process changed at all?
Now i have a problem, at the point where you reach the large room where you have 4 choices i picked the 4th one by accident, now since i can not progress any further with this is there any way in which i can restart this event. Like idk per command or is there away in general to do so without having to start a new game!
event guardian.2111 should work.
It worked thx :)
Did they fix the missing enigmatic disruption field already? When you research it it doesn't appear anywhere.
I imagined that it was a fortress /defense item. So it doesn't appear when making them?
Wait, whats that big ship at 1:20?
automated dreadnaught. another guardian i think
ASpec Hello I did all the options that i could over and over again but it gives me only 2 techs encoder adn decoder i cant get other techs do you know why?
They nerfed the event chain for play balance reasons, you just get some tech not all of it now.
that's all there is they removed the others
Can the A.I use these events and get the enigmatic techs?
Technotron Yes.
Could you lure an enemy fleet or an end game crisis into the fortress's system and then trigger shot through the heart and blow the enemy to hell?
You could do that, it would be a huge waste.
maybe it is an update ?
i found out that now you can use a LV 7 scientists at the last part just research the Fortress to end it
and still get all the 30% research point
it's covered in the video, part of the blackhole research chain. Also scientists only go to level 5.
no that is not what i mean
at the last part myself with 4 thing that I can research at the log
home system research ( lv 1 up scientist)
with Force
black hole research ( lv 5 up scientist)
AND
refill dark matter ( lv 7 up scientist)
I think it will only show up if you have the strategic resource Dark Matter.
but still like your video
great work
You can't have lvl 7 scientist
is the black hole in this quest meant to start the worm
What about the Worm in Waiting event chain?
Soon.
Did they change something in 1.6? I followed the event chain. Now it seems only offers you one of the tech not all
Yes, they nerfed the fortress rewards.
how do i get the scientists needed for the black hole research
You'll need a tier 5 scientist in a ship. You're better off using a lvl 1 and researching the star and then picking the middle option. Adds an additional step but works just as fine.
i had a curator as my scientist and it still would not let me. do you think my game is broken??? also i love your tutorials
As an exterminator species, I can’t talk to the curators
so i disabled it but never got an event chain, its still there but it wont give me any options? am i supposed to wait?
are there prerequisites i need before i can enter it?
It should just trigger as soon as you disable it.
is it because im a purifier? can certain government types not access it
its a common bug - I had the same problem....I crushed the fortress - it recharged and nothing - for 2 years....so I reload (thank god I didnt go for Ironmode) - it happened again (tho some people fixed it by reload save file) - all you need to do is little cheat by command concole - just destroy the fortress, wait until it recharge and type: "event guardian.2150" - voala situation log updated and ready to go :-)
I recently completed the Enigmatic Fortress event chain
I managed to do the part with researching the black hole
But when i was done, i only got the decoder
Have i done something wrong?
i got the same, i thought you got all of them, whats up with that?
+06tmoran theyve changed the drops, you now get a random item, instead off all of them.
I fought the fortress and it exploded plus i didn't get any event chain
Same
This thing just killed my scientist and is hostile like shit
I’ve only ever gotten the encoder and decoder, is it RNG on the items you can get?
that's all there is they removed the others
How many Leviathans left?
I am annoyed now. I attacked the enigmatic fortress while it was just barely within another empires influence, and near the end of the fight, they sent their fleet to help. I think they got the last hit on the thing, because when the vault was disabled, I got no prompt or event chain whatsoever.
they were as big as I was, and we were both entrenched in federations, I would have had to goad both alliances into the fight, and I'm not sure I'd have won that, especially given the fact that I lost about half my fleet killing the damn thing, and the fact that they probably had the enigmatic tech.
