Exploring Talos-II in Arknights: Endfield means encountering numerous glowing orbs known as Aurylenes. These orbs are scattered throughout the game world and this guide will help you locate every Aurylene in the game, providing insights on their counts in each region and tips for efficient collection.
Understanding Aurylenes in Arknights Endfield
Aurylenes are glowing collectibles found across Talos-II. Some are stationary, while others may move, hide, or require scanning to find. Here are the main types of Aurylenes you will discover:
- Stationary Aurylenes visible in fixed locations
- Mobile Aurylenes that follow a path and need to be pursued
- Hidden Aurylenes behind various objects like rocks or inside crates
- Aurylenes revealed only through the Scan ability
After collecting Aurylenes, you can submit them at any TP Point to receive rewards such as Stamina upgrades, Origeometry, Operations EXP, and Sanity recovery.

The current game version features 240 Aurylenes spread across two significant areas: Valley IV and Wuling. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the Aurylene locations:
Valley IV Aurylenes

| Origin Lodespring | 39 |

| Valley Pass | 14 |
Wuling Aurylenes

- Use nearby crate stacks as stepping stones to reach higher Aurylenes
- Start with The Hub and Wuling City because they contain a significant number of Aurylenes
