Quick Answer
Search three androids anywhere on Stella Montis. Only some bodies can be searched in each run, so use a location with several candidates, interact with any three that show the search prompt, and move on. You do not need to take items from the bodies and you do not need to extract for the objective to count.
Why Some Androids Cannot Be Searched
Only a subset of android bodies are searchable in a given run. If one body has no interaction prompt, that does not mean you are in the wrong place; check another android nearby.
The practical answer is to search dense clusters instead of traveling to a single body. Stella Montis gives you no useful quest markers for these corpses, and the bodies can blend into the debris.
In My Image Requirements
You need access to Stella Montis, where In My Image acts as an introductory quest for the map. A free loadout is a good choice because the objective is based on searches rather than bringing an item back.
Watch for Shredders at close range and avoid overcommitting in tight corridors; the map's layered layout makes disengaging harder than on more open maps.
Where to Find Androids on Stella Montis
Start with the Cultural Archives for easy access, then use the Seed Vault if it is available and you want a denser cluster of android bodies.
| POI | Layer | What to expect | Access |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cultural Archives | Upper/main route | Several bodies near shelves, crates, and the open blue room | Easy |
| Seed Vault | Bottom layer, southeast | Multiple bodies close together | More involved |
| Medical Research | Upper layer, southwest | Good lighting and simple sightlines | Easy |
| Business Center | Top layer | Bodies near shelving | Easy |
| Cafeteria | Top layer, south | Additional scattered bodies | Easy |
| Metro Admin | Lower routes | Backup search area | Medium |
Medical Research is easier to visually scan, but visibility does not guarantee more searchable bodies. Snap and Salvage and With A View also use Stella Montis areas, so combining routes can save a later trip.
Use the Stella Montis raid boost if you would rather skip repeated searches through the map's layered routes.
The Seed Vault Route and the Fuze
The Seed Vault is a strong android cluster, but it is a more involved route than the Cultural Archives and may require powering access before entry.
- Head south from the Cultural Archives toward the Eastern Tunnel Cargo Platform.
- Take the hatch on the right and drop to the lower subway-like level.
- Follow the platform to the doorway on the left.
- Use the zipline up toward the Seed Vault entrance.
- Check the entrance area, corridor intersection, and eastern corridor for searchable androids.
This Stella Montis Seed Vault is not the Buried City seed vault used in The Root of the Matter.
The Cultural Archives Route
The Cultural Archives are the simplest first stop because you can scan several bodies without dealing with the Seed Vault route.
- Travel east of the main Lobby through the Business Center and Business Lounge.
- Check beside the shelves and wooden crates as you enter the Archives.
- Continue south and inspect the open blue room on the left for more android bodies.
- Move to Medical Research or another backup area if too few bodies are searchable in your run.
In My Image Rewards
In My Image does not have a reliably itemized reward list in the available quest data, so treat the map unlock path and the follow-up quest as the main progression value.
What Comes After In My Image
Cold Storage unlocks after In My Image. That follow-up comes from Shani rather than Lance, so check Shani's quest list after finishing the android searches.
Other Quests on Stella Montis
Several other quests reuse Stella Montis, so learning its layers here pays off quickly. Cold Storage, Snap and Salvage, On Deaf Ears, and With A View all send you back onto the map.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I search some androids?
Only some android bodies are interactable in each run. If one has no search prompt, check another body nearby.
Where are the easiest androids to find?
The Cultural Archives are the easiest first stop because access is simple and several bodies are close together. The Seed Vault is a strong backup cluster if you can reach it.
Do you need to extract for In My Image?
No. The objective is based on searching three androids, so there is no quest item you need to carry back.
Do you have to take anything off the androids?
No. Interacting with and searching the android bodies is enough for the objective.
Who gives In My Image?
Lance gives In My Image. He is the android clinic proprietor on the Stella Montis quest line.
