Arknights: Endfield: How to Repair SOS Robots Guide

Here's a quick guide on how to repair SOS Robots in Arknights: Endfield.

A stranded robot calling for help usually means a puzzle is waiting nearby in Arknights: Endfield. Walk over and interact with it to see what's broken. Most repairs happen through a grid interface, rather than by spending your factory materials.

The first few boards can look busier than they really are. Reading the edge markings helps you narrow down the possible arrangements.

How the Repair Grid Works

The markers beside each row and column tell you how many squares must be filled. Place the available pieces inside the board so both directions match their targets. A correct row doesn't help if its pieces overload a column.

Switch the edge display to numbers if the square symbols are difficult to read. Choose whichever makes it easier to compare your current arrangement with the required totals.

How to Place the Pieces

Start with the most restrictive lines. A row requiring no filled squares rules out every placement crossing it. A nearly full row gives you fewer possibilities than one with a small target and plenty of space.

Rotate pieces when needed and check both their shape and position before moving on. If one placement forces another row above its target, undo that placement. Shuffling the remaining pieces around won't fix an already impossible arrangement.

What to Do When Parts Are Missing

Later robots can require additional components before their repair is available. Read the interaction message and follow the indicated location for the missing parts. Return to the robot once you've collected what it needs.

Don't confuse this requirement with an unsolved board. If the game says a component is missing, the next step is exploration. Track any associated mission to locate the component.

How to Use Hints and Finish Repairs

After repeated attempts, an Endministrator hint can appear beside the puzzle. Select the icon to reveal an outline showing where pieces belong. Use that outline to identify the placement that's blocking your progress.

Some repairs involve more than one module, so continue until the robot confirms the job is finished. Robots also appear in daily missions, including Emergency Repairs. Track those missions to find the correct robot rather than repairing an unrelated one.

Match every row and column, fetch any missing components, and use the Endministrator hint when a board has you stuck.
