The Shoemaker's Children Go Barefoot Walkthrough
Ride the Lift
Once you make it to the lift at the pier of the Experiemental Design Bureau, take a ride on it and head up. This is how the quest will triger, and a cutscene will play after stepping out of the lift platform.
Check the container
With the two Fatui away, go call the container they sent up using the control panel. Then, enter the container, which should lead you inside the Kuuvahki Experimental Design Bureau.
Explore the Bureau
The path inside the Design Bureau is pretty linear in doing this quest, so simply follow the path by tracking the quest marker here.
Once you reach the quest area, past two Electro Slime there should be an opening to the lower floor from the vents you entered in. That is where you drop down to move on to the next part of the quest.
Try to avoid detection if you can
The path you have to tread in this World Quest is filled with Fatui enemies, thus the player is presented with two options: to fight, or to sneak around.
It can be hard to resist not to fight, especially given some of the enemies have to be defeated in order to unlock a Treasure Chest. If you feel confident about your team comp, and can defeat them all in less than 20 seconds before the Fatui call in for reinforcements, then by all means defeat everything in your way.
Investigate the Chests
Once you make it to the warehouse after the drop down, there are a couple of open Treasure Chests besides an Exquisite Chest. Get close to it, then a cutscene will trigger that forces the Traveler and Paimon to hide inside the container. However, there is already someone inside, forcing the two of them back out.
Two back-to-back waves of Fatui
Being thrown back out during the cutscene will result in back-to-back fights with waves of Fatui. Be very prepared before you interact with the Chest that triggers the cutscene to this fight.
Look for a way to exit the room
After defeating the Fatui, you now have to find a way to leave the area. To do that, you will have to operate a Cleaning Bot found on the other side of the locked door.

| 1 |  Interact with the control panel found on the right side of the area from where you dropped down to get here. |
| 2 |  Once you've taken control of the Bot, use its ability to attract Bipolar Objects to grab the key card from the guard. Then, launch the Keycard to the terminal in order to open the gate. |
Find a way to rescue the girl
To find a way to rescue the girl, follow the path by going up the platform after leaving the room. After going up, the path is linear enough to follow until you drop down to the next room where another Cleaning Bot puzzle is found. Complete the puzzle to free the girl.
There are some guards you can defeat to unlock a chest as soon as you exit the room, but if you want to remain sneaky and save it for another day, try not to get too close while climbing the platforms.

| 1 |  Once you make it to the thief's detention cell, approach the guard first to "convince them" to leave the room. |
| 2 |  Take control of the Cleaning Bot with a control panel nearby. Let it grab the ID Card on the table, and make its way to where the thief is using a dedicated tunnel for the Bot. |
| 3 |  Before the Cleaning Bot moved to the other side of the cell, it should have put the Traveler to an Empowered State. This will allow the ID Card to float in the same general direction where they stand. |
| 4 |  Make use of the boxes on the Traveler's side of the room, and match the ID Card to the Barrier Generator. |
Go to the dormitory
After clearing out the Fatui, follow your new companion Netochka to head out to the Bureau's dormitory.
Be ready to fight, as you will have to face Fatui soldiers every now and then en route to the next quest location.
Ride the Moonlane
At the end of the outdoor balcony that leads to the dormitory, you have to ride a Moonlane as a kuuvahki. You have to ride it here, as the way inside before this quest is through this Moonlane.
Lunoculus Found in Moonlane
A Lunoculus is also found inside this quest in the middle of the Moonlane that leads to the Bureau's dormitory. This seems to be the only known way to reach this specific Lunoculus.

Look for clues inside the dormitory
Once you get inside the dormitory in the Bureau, check the table in the center of the room to obtain the laboratory's floor plans. This triggers a cutscene where the crew are forced into hiding.
Another Fatui fight before archives
Go up the lift that takes you to the floor where the archives are located. En route, there will be Fatui soldiers spawning mid-way that you have to defeat.
There is also a Precious Chest found in the same room, so do not forget to open it before moving on.
Go to the archives
When you get to the archives, head towards a terminal that has a Radiant Spincrystal. Investigate it to continue the quest.
Find a way to open the gate
To make it to the disposal workshop, you have to open another gate. There is a control panel just before the closed door; use it to operate the Cleaning Bot on the other side.

|---|---|
| 1 |  First, grab the attention of the Fatui soldiers by operating the Cleaning Bot. Stick around close enough, and the guard will disregard the Bot. |
| 2 |  Wait for the head guard to order the others to turn to the left. This will let the Cleaning Bot grab the key card from one of the soldiers using Bipolar attraction. |
| 3 |  Head back to the door and send the key card to the terminal to open the gate for you and Netochka to go through. |
Defeat the opponents
Once you make it out of the gate and defeat the Fatui guards on the other side, you are chucked into an disposal workshop with a lot of Fatui machines that will attack you.
On top of that, two giant hammers will frequently slam against each other in the first part of the fight before they bring out the Cutting Edge Fire Support Ground Effect Landcruiser.
Watch out for the hammers
In the first part of the fight, two gigantic hammers will slam into each other in the center of the arena for tons of damage. It will hit anyone, friend or foe, so use this to your advantage and draw aggro from the enemies to make them come to the middle.
Use Hammers against Landcruiser to break its shield
The second half of this fight involves a powerful Landcruiser that has a shield that cannot be damaged. Instead, you have to take advantage of the hammers that stopped moving from the first phase.
It cannot move from its position in the middle, making it vulnerable to damage from the hammer. Pull on both hammers using your empowered state to destroy the shield. The first two slams will break its shield, then you can deal damage. Afterwards, you have to finish the fight by continuously using the hammers until its HP hits 0.
Use the Hammers to reach the upper floor
After the fitght, the destruction module hammers are destroyed and are pulled out of their positions from the boss fight. You can use one of them to make a bridge to the upper floor by slamming it into the window using the Unipolar power.
Catch up to Netochka
Netochka goes on forward after you make it up the second floor. Past the control room where you climbed into, there is another Moonlane that will lead you further up the Bureau.
Another Lunoculus found on Moonlane
Another Lunoculus can be found in the middle of this Moonlane. Given its position, this is the only known way to obtain this specific collectible.
Find a way to enter an empowered state
Once you catch up to Netochka, she and the Traveler are finding ways to get up to the summit of the Bureau. To do this, you have to solve one more Cleaning Bot puzzle.
How to solve Cleaning Bot puzzle 4
| How to solve Cleaning Bot puzzle 4 | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Before taking control of the Cleaning Bot, destroy the wooden crates that are trapping it from moving anywhere else. |
| 2 |  Once free, operate the Cleaning Bot to it get near the lightningrod and make it empowered. |
| 3 |  Leave the Cleaning Bot's control panel, and approach the bot itself to be in an empowered state. This should boost your jumping prowess to catch up to Netochka. |
Section May Be Bugged
There have been reports that the there is a possible glitch in this section, where the Cleaning Bot behind the boxes can be accidentally thrown off from its position.
Should that happen, we highly suggest to restart the game in order to respawn the Cleaning Bot that was supposed to be there. Players can also teleport away first before restarting the game before coming back to respawn the Bot needed to clear the section.
Defeat Raskolnikov
Go inside the arena, where Poruchik Raskolnikov can be fought for the first time as a boss fight. Defeating him will unlock his appearance in Valiant Chronicles as a Local Legend of Nod-Krai!
Raskolnikov Valiant Chronicle Guide
Section May Be Bugged
There have been reports that the there is a possible glitch in this section, where the final boss will cause the player character to get stuck mid-swing from his sword attack.
Should that happen, we highly suggest to restart the game in order to be able to move again. It also seems that tweaking the Anti-Aliasing option from FSR2 to SMAA has been a viable option.
