February 25, 2026February 25, 2026Welcome to our guide for Delver of the Cryptic in Arknights: Endfield.In this permanent endgame activity, Administrators will explore dangerous, puzzle-heavy Spatial Sets and Protocol Spaces. You’ll need to navigate unique mechanics, avoid environmental hazards, and overcome tough battles to earn rare rewards.This step-by-step walkthrough will cover everything you need to clear all stages and collect every available reward. Today I’ll be walking you through the puzzle solution for the fifth stage-Heat Interception.
Stage 5 is also a speedrun challenge. Unlike Stage 3, it features far more laser obstacles. Players must use the acceleration vortex orbs to dodge these beams and reach the finish line as quickly as possible.To claim all rewards, you must reach the end within 5 minutes. Don’t worry—even if you’re new to speedrunning, the time limit is more than generous enough.
Upon entering the stage, you need to pick up the vortex in front of you to accelerate through the laser grid.
The first area is a static laser zone, where all lasers are fixed. You only need to avoid them and go through the tunnel.
The second area is a dynamic vertical laser zone, where the beams move continuously. You’ll need to dodge these moving lasers. A reliable strategy is to jump and move along the edges.
The third area is the instant laser zone. The lasers here are hidden and only appear suddenly when you get close, testing your reflexes.There is also a platform that tilts under your weight. You need to time your jumps carefully to avoid tilting the platform too much and getting hit by the lasers.
After passing through this area, you’ll enter the fourth zone—a long mine tunnel with no traps. Pick up the vortex to boost your speed. At the end of this section, there’s a mine pit that will collapse once you step on it, taking you to a new area.
This is the final area of the stage.In front of you is a laser gate. Meanwhile, laser walls will close in on you from both sides of the map.You must disable the gate in time, or you will be killed by the advancing lasers.To disable them, you need to interact with four control panels.
Once the laser gate is disabled, you can proceed to the finish line.
