50 articlesSo you’ve stumbled upon the Bridge Approach Camp Ferrium Ore Mineral Bed in Arknights Endfield, and you’re staring at it thinking, “Yeah… how do I actually get this thing powered?” Trust me, I’ve been there. You can’t just waltz in and expect the mineral bed to do its job, you’ve got to complete a few steps, set up some relay towers, and maybe even take a cheeky shortcut. Lucky for you, I’ve done all the trial-and-error so you don’t have to.
Complete the Lone Wolf Quest
Before you can touch anything, you need to complete the Lone Wolf quest in Power Plateau. This becomes available once you’ve progressed far enough in the main story. It’s like the game’s way of saying, “Are you serious about powering this thing?” Once that quest is done, head back to the gate at Power Plateau.
Unlock the Gate
After finishing Lone Wolf, return to the gate near the Bridge Approach Camp. Interact with it again, and voila, the gate unlocks. Suddenly, the previously blocked area is yours to explore, and you can finally start thinking about powering the mineral bed.
Power the Mining Rigs
Now comes the fun part. You’ll need to power the Mining Rigs using a nearby Electric Pylon connected to a power source like a Relay Tower. Think of this like plugging in a giant, grumpy robot that’s been refusing to work, once it’s connected, everything comes alive.

Here’s where things get slightly tricky, but also fun. You have a couple of options. If you follow the standard path, start by placing your first Relay Tower between Bridge Approach Camp and the United Parking Lot, right before the ramp. Head up the ramp and place another tower in front of the fenced path. Keep following the path, going up ramps, and placing a Relay Tower once you hit the 80-meter limit. Continue left and up through more ramps, and don’t forget to drop a tower on the broken overpass. Eventually, you’ll end up at the Ferrium Ore Mineral Bed fully powered.
I’ll put a video below on the exact pathing that you can take, it doesn’t include the shortcut though, but it’ll still give you a clear idea of the setup.
If you’re like me and hate unnecessary walking, there’s a shortcut: head south from the mineral bed to find a gate you can open from the side. Once you access it, you’ll find a console at the Mineral Bed area that instantly opens the gate. Not only does this save you from placing a bunch of Relay Towers and Pylons, but you also won’t have to run around trying to figure out how to connect the power. Game-changer.
Wrap-Up: Ferrium Is Finally Happy
And there you have it. With the Lone Wolf quest complete, the gate unlocked, and your Relay Towers properly set up, the Bridge Approach Camp Ferrium Ore Mineral Bed is now humming with electricity. No more wasted steps, no more guesswork. Now you can focus on what really matters, getting that sweet Ferrium flowing.
