In Cronos: The New Dawn, Fallen Travelers contain strong essences that define your abilities and progression in the game. These are extremely rare drops gifted to you with various bonuses, but some require hard choices since your phylactery cannot contain more than a few at the same time. Tracking down every traveler will not only strengthen your character but also yield achievements such as Togetherness. So, here is every Fallen Traveler location and their essences.
All Five Traveler Locations
Marzec Lidia (Essence 2)
Your first encounter happens right after you step onto the tram. A cinematic plays, showing how essences are drawn from the bodies of fallen travelers. Immediately after this sequence, you may take Lidia’s essence. If the pursuit of the Togetherness reward is on your mind, ensure that all three Marzec essences are in your phylactery at the same time, so don’t discard any until you’ve secured the trio.
Surma Antoni (Essence 4)
Past the section with gravity leaps, you’ll eventually reach the Sculptor’s home. Search upstairs for a basement key, then unlock the lower level to discover Surma. Because this is essence number four, the game forces you to erase one of your current essences permanently before you can take his.
Marzec Marcel (Essence 6)
Marcel is positioned directly beside the Arbalest. Absorbing his essence requires sacrificing one you already hold, as your phylactery will be at capacity. For the Togetherness achievement, avoid discarding any of the Marzec line until you’ve obtained all three.
Marzec Krzysztof (Essence 7)
After ducking under a collapsed timber, enter the first room on the left. Krzysztof lies within a biomass cluster. Collecting his essence alongside both Lidia’s and Marcel’s is the condition needed to trigger the Togetherness achievement.
Unit #ND-9937 (Essence 8)
Once the cell doors have been released, move toward the exit and check the cell on the right-hand side. Inside, Unit #ND-9937 (Daniel Lazarski) can be found lying on the bed. Interacting with him will grant you his essence, which is the last one in this sequence.
Note: In Cronos: The New Dawn, Essences act as special relics that boost your abilities. Some are tied to the main story, while others come from Fallen Travelers hidden across the world. Collecting them not only improves survival but can also influence the storyline and the rewards you unlock.
