Quick Answer
For the first half, use an ENELICA building on Dam Battlegrounds, with Water Treatment Control as the clearest option. For the second half, go to the tall apartment block in Piazza Roma on Buried City, reach the absolute top, then move one flight down to the researcher's flat on Floor 6.
Progress saves after each objective, so two deployments are fine. Rewards are a Raider Hatch Key and 3x Seeker Grenades.
What ENELICA and Convinio Actually Mean
ENELICA and Convinio are in-world names tied to the buildings used by this quest, not map-marker labels. That is why searching the map for either word does not reveal a highlighted objective.
Treat ENELICA as the first building type you need to visit for the notice board, then treat the Convinio as the Piazza Roma apartment building used for the Buried City objectives.
Paving the Way Requirements
Complete Into The Fray, then prepare for two map phases: Dam Battlegrounds or The Blue Gate for the ENELICA notice board, and Buried City for Piazza Roma and the researcher's flat.
No quest item needs to be carried between the two parts, and objective progress persists. A free or light loadout is therefore reasonable if you want to minimize the cost of repeat attempts.
Every ENELICA Building Location
Several ENELICA buildings can be used for the first half. Water Treatment Control is the simplest starting choice, while the other locations below are useful alternatives if they fit your spawn or route better.
| Map | POI or landmark | Notice-board position |
|---|---|---|
| Dam Battlegrounds | Water Treatment Control | Near or just inside the building entrance. |
| Dam Battlegrounds | Power Generation Complex entrance office | Inside the entrance-office area. |
| Dam Battlegrounds | Pipeline Tower | At the building associated with the tower. |
| The Blue Gate | Tall standalone building near Maintenance Bunker | Near the building entrance. |
Dam Battlegrounds: Water Treatment Control is the most straightforward option, and it can be paired with A Toxic Trail if both quests are active.
The Blue Gate: Check the tall standalone building near the Maintenance Bunker if that route is more convenient.
Buried City: Use Dam Battlegrounds or The Blue Gate for the ENELICA step, then move to Buried City for Piazza Roma and the researcher's flat.
How to Find the Notice Board
The notice board is next to or just inside the front door of a valid ENELICA building. At the Power Generation Complex, check the entrance-office area.
- Enter a valid ENELICA building.
- Check the wall and office area immediately around the entrance.
- Interact with the notice board and the researcher's note to complete the first two objectives together.
How to Reach the Top Floor Above the Convinio in Piazza Roma
The Buried City objective is at the tall apartment blocks in the southern part of Piazza Roma, directly below the map label. The southern building just above the metro entrance is the clearest approach.
- Reach Piazza Roma in central Buried City.
- Identify the two tall apartment buildings in the southern part of the square.
- Enter the southern building from the front, just above the metro entrance, or use a zipline where available.
- Climb all the way to the absolute top; stopping on an upper interior floor may not trigger the objective.
Where to Find the Researcher's Flat
The researcher's flat is on Floor 6, one flight down from the rooftop. Look for a room filled with stacked monitors or computer screens.
- Finish the top-floor objective first.
- Move down one flight from the rooftop.
- Find the room with stacked monitors.
- Interact with the desk or terminals to collect the research data and complete the quest.
Paving the Way Rewards
Paving the Way rewards a Raider Hatch Key and 3x Seeker Grenades.
| Reward | Type | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 1x Raider Hatch Key | Key | A valuable utility reward for future runs. |
| 3x Seeker Grenades | Throwable | Useful throwable rewards for later raids. |
