Special Operation Walkthrough

Speak with Marionette at the Kuuvahki Experimental Design Bureau

After everyone discusses the plan at the secret base, you and the Damselette will arrive the Kuuvahki Experimental Design Bureau to speak with Marionette.

Block the Wild Hunt's Assault

The Kuuvahki Experimental Design Bureau will be attacked by Rerir and the Wild Hunt. You'll need to take control of Marionette's robots, which are called B.O.S.C.O.s, to shoot them down.

Marionette's forces are scripted to eventually be overtaken by the Wild Hunt, so you just need to continue shooting down enemies until you progress through the entire sequence.

How to Fight the Wild Hunt with B.O.S.C.O.

How to Fight with B.O.S.C.O.
1
You'll first take control of B.O.S.C.O. number 1. Since there are large hordes of the Wild Hunt, it's best to hold down the shoot button and fire at the ones that are closest first.

Once there are less enemies that are dangerously close, you can start spreading your shots across the field to shoot down more of them.
2
B.O.S.C.O. number 2 is next, and it fires explosives that instantly take down enemies in a large area. However, it also has a slower firing speed, so you'll need to prioritize the closest enemies first again.

To defeat them more effectively, you should aim your shots at the ground they're standing on instead of the enemies themselves.
3
B.O.S.C.O. number 9 requires you to shoot down the Wild Hunt individually from afar. You can aim at their flames for more precise shots. Take note that you can also pan the camera to the bottom left to find more enemies.
4
B.O.S.C.O. number 42 fires similarly to the first one, so just hold down the fire button and shoot down enemies as they come. The B.O.S.C.O. is scripted to break down and stop working at a certain point.

Investigate Rerir's Memories

The quest will shift to the point of view of Nefer, Lauma, and Jahoda at the Curatorium of Secrets, where they will conduct a ceremony to see Rerir's past. You'll need to investigate his memories to gain more clues.

How to Investigate Rerir's Memories

How to Investigate Rerir's Memories
1
Once you're in Rerir's memories as Nefer, investigate the note on the table nearby to proceed.
2
Next, inspect the glowing spot on the desk at the center to read Rerir's diary.
3
Follow the quest marker and head towards the room's exit to view more cutscenes of Rerir's past.
4
Return to the middle of the room and interact with the mirror in the corner.
5
Leave the hut through the exit you inspected previously to view the last bits of Rerir's memories.
