Outriders secret side quest, the Forgotten Chapel, is one of the handful of hidden adventures in the game.

Developer People Can Fly (PCF) has implemented quite a few secrets for players to uncover in their sci-fi RPG. Looking around the various worlds and maps, players might spot some suspicious monuments standing high above them. Obviously, these aren't all mysterious artifacts or quest-starters, but—with a little effort—players can transform their natural curiosity about the landscape into loot, legendary items, and obscured adventures.

Outriders Secret Side Quest: Forgotten Chapel

In short, the Forgotten Chapel concerns the three large pillars in the Canyon of the Great Obelisk. These stand in various locations in the area and can be activated to open the large runic gate near the Cliffside Path. The first two are vertically parallel to each other in the Canyon Entrance area while the other is all the way to the right in the Monolith area. We've detailed their locations below.

Players should note that, when properly activated, each pillar should sink into the ground.

First Pillar

The first pillar can be found by exiting the Canyon camp and taking an immediate left. There should be a short path there that leads directly to the pillar, which can be easily activated with a single press. This is the easiest to toggle.

Second Pillar

From camp, players should walk forward until they hit a monster mob. From the first pillar, head south and then east until the mob appears. There should be an upward slope just beyond them that leads to a sharp right and, beyond that, the second pillar.

It is housed inside a smaller temple-like area which holds even more monsters. Fortunately, there's also a small chest next to this one for your extra efforts.

Third Pillar

The final pillar is all the way to the right—or east—and is most easily found after the story mission associated with this region. After the cutscene, players should head to the back of the temple and take the stairs all the way up. The final pillar will be resting at the top.

Runic Gate

The actual gate, itself, is found on the Cliffside Path. Don't worry—it should be marked on the map. Players will be able to identify it due to the three bright yellow runes on its front. To open, simply activate the pillar standing before it.

There will be a legendary weapon waiting just inside as the final reward for this quest.
