Yo squad! As a hardcore Among Us veteran grinding on Polus since 2023, I’ve survived more impostor ambushes than I can count. This icy research outpost? Total death trap if you don’t know your tasks. Let me break down every job while dropping some unspoken rules – because trust me, that sus grey dude lurking near Specimen Room ain’t playing fair.
First off, short tasks are your bread and butter for quick cred. When aligning the telescope, that beeping sound? It’s like your grandma’s microwave – faster beeps mean you’re locked on target. Just drag toward the shiny thing in the corner. 
Chart Course feels like playing connect-the-dots while drunk. Miss a node? Back to square one, my dude. And Clear Asteroids? Pure catharsis – smash 20 space rocks like it’s a stress ball. No pic though, so imagine this: 💥💥💥 (pro tip: sound ON for maximum satisfaction).
O2 canisters got me twisted sometimes. Drag → nozzle → wait → repeat. Mess up the sequence? GG, you’re oxygen-deprived and dead. 
Monitor Tree’s sliders? Easy peasy… but that vent beside it? Straight-up murder alley. Always check corners before touching those dials. 
Polus temps drop lower than my GPA last semester. Record Temperature requires matching negative digits – don’t freeze your brain out. 
Store Artifacts is basically toddler shape-sorter game… until the airlock seals you in with Mr. Stabby. Speedrun this or become lab rat chow. 
Submit Scan’s the ultimate impostor trap. No hologram during scan? CALL EMERGENCY MEETING RN. That’s free eject material. 
Now common tasks – these pop up so often they’re basically muscle memory. Fix Wiring’s multicolor drag-n-drop happens in 5 spots. Impostors always mess up the order though – caught one trying to ‘fix’ Lab wires first like a total noob.
Insert Keys? Rotate that bad boy 90 degrees like opening a cheap padlock. 
Swipe Card’s rhythm game – too fast/slow fails. My strat? Hum ‘Among Us trap remix’ while swiping 😂. No visual? Picture your ex’s credit card getting declined.
Long tasks? Buckle up buttercup – these require BIG brain energy.
Fix Weather Node’s two-parter:
-
Drag glow-dot through maze outside (fail = restart hell)
-
Sprint to Lab to activate
Fuel Engines copies Skeld’s mechanic but left/right instead of north/south. Feels oddly nostalgic ngl.
Inspect Sample’s 60-second wait? Perfect time to spy on sus players near Admin. Come back later to press green button. 
Open Waterways needs 3 valve spins – counterclockwise only! Do full rotations or face watery regret. 
Reboot WiFi’s power-off → 60s wait → power-on sequence leaves you VULNERABLE. I literally hide in trash chute during cooldown 😅. 
Start Reactor’s memory game escalates to 5-step patterns. Failed once and got voted off – still salty! 
Download/Upload’s office→comms shuffle makes you stationary bait. Alternate path: Weapons data first. 
Final wisdom? Tasks win games… but paranoia saves lives. Spot someone ‘doing’ Clear Asteroids without sound? Sus. See no Submit Scan hologram? SUS. That vent near Monitor Tree? Maximum sus. Stay frosty crewmates – and maybe we’ll survive another day 👾🔥
