Eos - Task Ghost of Promise

Not even for research points I can scan it.

I think the OP means the holographic things at the end of the corridor. Couldn't scan them, either. Considering this isn't the only place where SAM tells you nonsense, my guess is there is nothing to be scanned, maybe it was removed later but SAM's comment wasn't. Whatever the case, I don't think you are missing something there.

I've encountered a bug with invisible scannable object once. It had happened while investigating for the Salarians - I had the 'scan it' visuals, but literally nothing around me to target. Had to grab my gamepad and walk around slowly relying on the vibro, eventually could target the right 'green' spot, where the body was supposed to be. Could it be the same kind of glitch?

No, the data stores you are likely supposed to scan are visible, but they don't show up in your scanning interface, nor do you get the usual prompt to scan for these things, just SAM's comment.


If it worked for you in that specific location the OP mentioned, what platform are you on? I'm on PC and it neither worked prior to the 1.05 patch nor now.

I guess the progress of the translation database is restricted to scanning these things in the area where it's relevant. I didn't have any problems there, but I can't tell for sure if it makes any difference, for obvious reasons.

There is one of those holographic interfaces that you can scan (a little farther up the corridor towards the entrance) and a data core thing, but yeah all the rest aren't scannable.

Has anyone tried this task since 1.08? The datapad by the first monolith is there and easy to find, but the other datapads are no longer where they used to be. I googled map locations and I am at the right spot, but datapads are no where to be found. Did they move them or am I seeing a bug?
