Wake Up Challenge Guide
Charlie's Wake Up Challenge is simple in theory - you have around 2 minutes and 30 seconds from the time you appear in the tunnels to find all four of Charlie's boxes and open them - if you do not they will explode and the game will end. If you manage to find all four, you'll get an additional prize. The only real problem is finding them, and dealing with Eternalists or other hazards stationed nearby.
Use the map above to plot your course - you can go either direction from the tunnels, but this guide will go south from the tunnel exit under Egor's Lab.
As soon as you get out of the tunnels, hug the cliffs on the right until you get to a spot where a thin wooden plank has been extended above the waters blow that holds a small Oats box wit the first prize. There will be several Eternalists milling around daring each other to take it, and while they are too chicken to try - they'll attack you when you draw close. If you have the Slabs, either use Nexus to link them and stab one from behind, or use Shift to quickly warp among them and try to dice them up before they can start making too much noise.
As soon as you grab the first trinket, keep running along the cliffs until you're forced to go under a large slab of the Complex leading towards Wenjie's labs. Duck around to the right of a box trailer to spy a few more Eternalists watching the second prize on an ice floe just offshore. The Eternalists up on a ridge to the left will spot you first, so you may want to kill them quickly and quietly even though it takes a few seconds more, before kicking the other two Eternalists into the water.
After grabbing the second prize, keep moving East and stick to the shoreline to cut across Wenjie's Labs, moving along the base of the blue lab building past the cylinder and under the green manufacturing building. Run or Shift across the ice platforms heading towards the other tunnel entrance on this side of the map - but cut a hard left as soon as you pass the large barrier in the water.
Running along the shore here, you can spot a single turret guarding the third prize. This will require you to either quickly shift up to the turret to disarm it, snipe it at range, or risk taking some damage until you can hop across the water to the small island where the box is.
For the last prize, jump back to shore and up the small ridge leading to the path that divides the Control Center and the large Ordnance Depot, and dart past the Eternalists here to head into the large bunker leading to the depot. Hang to the side until you can hop up the stairs and kill the lone Eternalist standing outside the locked control booth, and take out your Hackamajig to hack the antennae inside to gain access.
The Final Prize
If all goes well and you are able to collect all four random trinket prizes, Charlie will congratulate you and tell you of one last additional grand prize. He'll ask that you swing by his mansion at Noon to pick it up.
Now, if you travel to Updaam during this same Loop, and cross the long bridge to Charlie's Mansion, the garage-like door on the right as you enter will be opened, leading to an unlocked safe that holds the final trinket prize: An Exemplar Trinket to increase your movement speed.
