Awakening is the first main quest in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. It is automatically started after the Sarentu awakens from cryosleep at the TAP compound following the opening cutscenes of the game.
Description[]
Find some food[]
After finding out which of the Sarentu's friends made it out of cryo, the first objective is to find food. Two Dry RDA rations can be found in Canteen Storage. The game then teaches the player about the food mechanics.
Return to Alma[]
After finding food, the Sarentu must return to Alma, who is back where they first awoke with the others. However, upon returning, the RDA attacks the cryovault, and the Sarentu hides as John Mercer and Angela Harding arrive with soldiers in search of them and the other surviving TAP students.
Escape TAP (Part 1)[]
The Sarentu must escape the facility without being detected by the RDA soldiers. This sequence is used to teach the player about traversal mechanics like jumping, sliding, vaulting, breaking vents, and crouching.
Talk to the Na'vi[]
The Na'vi gives the Sarentu a radio tuned to a Resistance frequency. The Sarentu learns the Na'vi's name is So'lek. So'lek is separated from the Sarentu by an impassable barrier, so the main character must continue on while corresponding with So'lek on the radio.
Escape TAP (Part 2)[]
The main character continues down a sequence of hallways.
Find a way past the RDA soldiers[]
The main character must sneak past RDA soldiers, given that they are unarmed. This section teaches the player about the game's stealth mechanics. The RDA soldiers taunt the main character as they search for them.
Escape TAP (Part 3)[]
The main character continues down another series of hallways and eventually reaches a locked door to the facility's gym.
Find a way to open the door to the gym[]
There is a broken junction box to the left of the gym door that the main character must repair to pass through.
Escape TAP (Part 4)[]
The catwalk above the gym has collapsed, and the main character must drop down a level and sneak past two RDA soldiers (though there is the option to melee kill them). They exit the gym and head towards the living quarters, but radio contact with So'lek drops out. Seeing the dilapidated conditon of the facility, which cannot be explained by the recent RDA attack, the main character begins to question how long they were in cryosleep.
Finding a door to the Armor Bay, the Sarentu tries to go through it, only to be surprised and pinned to the ground by Mercer's Guard AMP. Colonel Harding then holds the main character at gunpoint, and Mercer comes to taunt them. Mercer gives the signal to execute the main character, and just as Harding is about to carry it out, So'lek ambushes the RDA team to give the main character a chance to escape.
The Sarentu scrambles into a pipeline maintenance chute, and through there finds a slight gap in the ceiling which gives them their first glance into the Kinglor Forest. After a short traversal through a vent, a larger breach is discovered which leads outward to Pandora.
After traveling a short distance away from the facility, the next quest, Pandora (quest) triggers.
