If you are a player of Once Human and faced the «no access to Rift Anchor» message, here is how to fix this issue.
Once Human is a brand new multiplayer survival game that has gathered a significant player base, despite being released only on PC. On July 9, 2024, the peak number of concurrent players in the game exceeded 230,000.
Since its release, the open-world game has allowed players to travel through luxurious landscapes. But beneath the beauty lies a menacing extraterrestrial creature posing a huge threat.
While Once Human usually lets you travel and explore wherever you want, some players have been blocked in certain regions. When trying to activate the Rift Anchor for a new region, the message «no access to Rift Anchor» appears.
For those who want to know what this message means and how to fix it, keep reading for a detailed breakdown below.
How to Fix «No Access to Rift Anchor» in Once Human
Rift Anchors are how players can access new regions.
There are two main reasons why you may see the «No Access to Rift Anchor» message on screen, and all quests and major boss battles in this region will be inaccessible.
Complete More Main Story Quests
The first reason is directly related to how far players have progressed in the game’s storyline. If a player has not completed enough story quests to activate a specific Rift Anchor, a message will appear restricting access to quests and battles that are too far ahead of their current tasks.
To find the main story quests you need to complete, look for them on the map or in the quest section on the quest tab.
Defeat the Boss from the Previous Monolith You Discovered
The second reason you may be blocked from accessing a new Rift Anchor is that the boss from the previous region, the Monolith, has not been defeated yet.
If that’s the case, simply go back and finish the boss battle before returning to the place that should now be accessible with the Rift Anchor.
