Journey To The Savage Planet: How To Get The Shock Fruit Stabilizer | Unlocking The Tower Guide

Right at the start of Journey To The Savage Planet, you’ll encounter an alien skull that leads into a mysterious cave. Down inside that cave, you’ll find a secret passage with an alien door that slams shut in your face when you try to approach it. To keep that door from locking you out, you’ll need the Shock Fruit Stabilizer.

The Shock Fruit Stabilizer isn’t available until very late in the game. You’ll have to reach the third region — the Elevated Realm — to finally access the Shock Fruit. Unlike the other two Stabilizers you’ll get as you progress through the game, this one isn’t hidden behind a boss fight. You’ll need the Shock Fruit to solve one of the last puzzles and finally unlock the tower.

To get the Shock Fruit Stabilizer, you’ll need to reach the Elevated Realm — that’s the third region. Once you’re exploring the giant towers that require power, you’ll begin this quest proper. Scanning any alien door or electric plant will unveil the ‘Static Panic‘ quest.

From the Top of the Enigmatic Spire, go right and look for a path to one of the side-islands that isn’t populated by a giant crystal tower. That’s where you’ll reach the Xerophilous Landing. Find the teleporter, then travel left to a small island with access to the underbelly of a mucher larger island — use the Proton Tether to grapple swing and magnetic grind rail to the area called the Pillars of Xzorgana.

Climb to the center of the desert-like island to find a huge stack of vertical pillars marked with purple / blue barnacles. You’ll want to get the backpack upgrade to carry as many Grapple Seeds as possible to make this trek. At least 5 are basically required. Near the top, you’ll have to use the Launch Thruster to reach the island itself.

Activate the teleporter here, then go right — look for a magnetic rail. Follow the rails (and swing) to reach a desert island with yet another teleporter called the Crackling Pedestal. Approach and scan the shrine that’s radiating electricity ahead.

To make the shield dissipate, you’ll have to defend the shrine for several minutes against waves of infected pufferbirds. They’ll just keep coming, but there are ways to make the mission easier — shoot the electric plant buds to shock any nearby creatures, causing them to reveal their weakpoint, or use Binding Bile to slow them down, which also reveals their weak spots. For a third option, there are endless Shock Fruit you can use, but they have pretty limited range.

Defend it until you hit 100% and you’ll be able to extract the material from the shrine. Now you can hop back to your ship and construct the Shock Fruit Stabilizer. It’s required to unlock those annoying alien doors that shut in your face.
