In Revenge of the Savage Planet, repairing the Javelin is a pivotal yet optional quest known as Roundtrip 2.0. While it doesn’t directly impact the main storyline, it offers players a unique path, leading to multiple possible endings. Located in the Nu Florida region of Stellaris Prime, the Javelin’s restoration requires several key tasks, each bringing you closer to launching the ship.
Key Steps to Repair the Javelin
To repair the Javelin, players must complete several essential tasks:
- Raise the Javelin from the Swamp: Use the Magnetic Fork from Xephyr.
- Clean the Javelin Thoroughly: Eliminate goo, clear cobwebs, and destroy amber sacs.
- Locate and Scan Other Crashed Javelins: Search three additional sites.
- Unlock and Install Upgrades: Use the 3D Printer for the final enhancements.
How to Raise the Javelin from the Swamp
The first critical step is retrieving the Javelin from the murky swamp of Nu Florida. To achieve this, you need the Magnetic Fork, an essential tool obtainable on the planet Xephyr.
Steps to Obtain the Magnetic Fork:
- Explore the Caverns: Acquire the Goo Ingestor for safe passage.
- Defeat Wormzilla: Overcome this formidable boss to access the fork.
- Return to the Javelin: Use the Magnetic Fork to lift the ship, triggering a cinematic sequence.
Cleaning the Javelin for Takeoff
Once the Javelin is raised, the next step is a thorough cleanup. This process ensures that the ship is free from any hazards and ready for launch.
Cleaning Tasks:
- Remove Goo Deposits: Use the Spritzer Power Hose to clear green slime.
- Burn Away Cobwebs: Collect lava from Lava Dispenser plants and use it with the Goo Ingestor.
- Destroy Amber Sacs: Access Blight Bomb Dispenser from Quasadron IX to obliterate the sacs.
While handling these tasks, players must also unlock upgrades back at the hub, including scanning other crashed Javelins for parts.
Locating Other Crashed Javelins
Three other Javelins are scattered across the galaxy, each holding crucial upgrade parts. Here are their locations:
Xephyr Crashed Javelin
- Region: Crystal Pillars
- Location: Head northwest from the Great Oasis teleporter, searching among the rock formations.
Zenithian Rift Crashed Javelin
- Region: Summit of Ruin
- Location: Follow the Peaks route to the Summit of Ruin. Look for a destructible wall near the Toxwin area.
Quasadron IX Crashed Javelin
- Region: Savannah Lake
- Location: Find the Baobab Maw, a worm-eating tree. The wreck is submerged in a nearby inlet.
Scanning these wrecked Javelins is essential to unlocking the final upgrades for your ship.
Upgrading the Javelin for Launch
With all crashed Javelins scanned, the final phase of repairs focuses on installing upgrades. These enhancements are accessed through the 3D Printer in your hub, though they require substantial resources.
Required Upgrades and Costs:
- Air Freshener: 1,600 Aluminum, 1,400 Carbon, 700 Silicon

Ensure you have gathered enough resources before initiating the final upgrades.
What Happens When You Launch the Javelin?
After completing all upgrades, the Javelin becomes fully operational, ready for launch. Activating it triggers a brief cutscene, where you can witness your ship’s ascent. Additionally, you earn the “Hasta La Vista” achievement.
Ending Variations:
- Comedic Ending: A lighthearted conclusion.

Even after launching, players can continue exploring and completing other missions within the game.
