Tips and Strategies

Prepare All Weapons and Supplies You Need

You'll be relentlessly faced with machine battles each step of the way for this Quest. Although there are plenty of healing supplies available throughout, make sure your valuable inventory space and Potions Pouch are not filled up with ones you won't need. Consider upgrading your Potions Pouch before Quest to make things easier on yourself.

Use the Terrain to Your Advantage

Some enemies can lose sight of you if you hide behind walls or go up the ledges. It will allow you to prepare your ammo, potions, traps, and other things before heading back to the fight again. It will also allow you to sneak behind them and then attack them using Silent Strike once they are unaware.

Apply Berserk Status Effect

Since there will be a lot of machines in here, it is a good idea that you use weapons that can put enemies into Berserk State. Enemies affected by it will attack anything on sight, regardless of whether they're allies or foes. It will also allow you to attack them without risking getting shot back.
