Rivage Guide | How to Find Johnny Kim’s Fingerprints

Finding Johnny Kim's fingerprints is an important objective in Rivage, allowing players to activate the generator inside the Observatory aboard the A.R.E.S. space station. However, you'll need to explore the Laboratory and collect four fingerprint samples to reconstruct his complete fingerprint.

While some samples are easy to locate, others are hidden behind environmental puzzles involving switches and mysterious drawings.

This Rivage Johnny Kim's Fingerprints Guide explains how to find all four fingerprint samples, solve the Laboratory puzzles, and activate the Observatory generator.

How to Find Johnny Kim's Fingerprints in Rivage

Before collecting the fingerprints, you'll need access to the Laboratory and the HyperViolet flashlight upgrade.

Approach the Laboratory entrance through the Connector and enter Chronoservus when prompted for Aion's class. Opening the door requires two power units.

Once inside, activate your HyperViolet flashlight to reveal fingerprints and blood trails throughout the room.

Step 1: Find the First Two Fingerprints

The first two fingerprint samples can be collected without solving additional puzzles.

Search the following locations:

• Fingerprint 1 – Broken Pipe: Head toward the functioning computer near the Laboratory entrance. Look for a broken pipe lying on the floor and scan it using HyperViolet.
• Fingerprint 2 – Laboratory Equipment: Search the nearby cabinets and workstations for another fingerprint. Depending on your playthrough, it may appear in a small vial or under a microscope.

Use your HyperViolet flashlight to identify the fingerprints and scan them with K9.

Step 2: Solve the Switch Panel Puzzle

The third fingerprint is hidden inside a locked compartment containing a stereoscope.

To open it, you'll need to collect four switches scattered throughout the Laboratory.

Check these locations:

• The counter near the large hangar doorway.
• The opposite workstation.
• A drawer beneath one of the counters.
• The cabinets are near the Laboratory computer.

Once you've collected all four switches, return to the locked circuit panel.

Insert the switches into the available slots and activate them until the displayed total matches the required number.

Important: The target number can vary between playthroughs, so follow the value displayed on your panel.

After solving the puzzle, open the compartment and scan the fingerprint on the stereoscope.

Step 3: Solve Raphael's Drawing Puzzle

The final fingerprint is locked inside another container in the Laboratory.

To unlock it, you'll need two drawings created by Raphael.

Follow these steps:

• Search the Laboratory counters for Raphael's numbered drawings.
• Examine the small symbols in the bottom-left corners.
• Locate the cylindrical container with two pattern grids.
• Recreate the first drawing's pattern on the upper grid.
• Enter the second drawing's pattern on the lower grid.
• Select Unlock to open the container.

Inspect the object inside using HyperViolet and scan the final fingerprint.

Your K9 System will now have all four samples required to reconstruct Johnny Kim's fingerprint.

How to Use Johnny Kim's Fingerprint

After collecting all four samples, restart the time loop and retrieve the Quantum Cell from the Kitchen.

Travel to the Observatory and locate the generator near the entrance.

Insert the Quantum Cell into the generator, activate the relay, and interact with the fingerprint scanner.

K9 will provide Johnny Kim's reconstructed fingerprint, allowing you to activate the generator and begin the Observatory Light Puzzle.

Final Thoughts

Finding Johnny Kim's fingerprints in Rivage requires exploring the Laboratory and solving two environmental puzzles.

Focus on collecting the accessible samples first, then complete the switch panel and Raphael's drawing puzzles.

Once all four fingerprints are registered, use them to activate the Observatory generator and continue progressing through the station.
