Where to find the Unknown taxi
Cross into the southern island and orient from the Evac Building. Move west onto the empty roadway; the isolated cab stands out once you are on the correct island.
Why players miss this taxi
Unknown is visually disorienting and the empty road can look like scenery at the edge of the playable route.
How to confirm the right approach
Confirm the Evac Building is east of your position and that you are on the southernmost island before following the empty road.
Step-by-step route
- Reach the southernmost island in Unknown.
- Use the Evac Building as your anchor and move west to the empty road.
- Answer Mila at the isolated taxi and enter the Threshold.
- Carry the portable light past each cab and compare the resulting shadows.
Commonly reported puzzle
Shadow Puzzle: Carry the light along the row and look for the taxi whose shadow behaves differently.
Place the portable light in a comparable position beside each cab. The odd shadow, not the most damaged taxi model, identifies the anomalous choice.
The portable light is the measuring tool. Move it deliberately and compare the cast shadows instead of staring at the taxi models.
How to confirm completion
Do not leave after one correct cab. The local Threshold runs for three rounds. Wait for the green traffic signal each time, finish the return sequence, and then mark this zone complete in the route log.
