After reaching Volt Forge, keep going onwards until you find a room with a terminal by a window. You can find a save point on the right side of the room. Afterward, scan the terminal to get the Area Map.

There will be an open area with two glowing circular trigger prompts on both paths. Hit these in Morph Ball form on any order to open the tube going to the generator.
9 Activate the Generator.
Follow the tube going all the way to generator in Morph Ball form. Go around behind the generator and hit on the trigger prompt. This will activate the generator and turn all signals online.

Return to Top Floor

Objectives
1 Retrace Steps Back to the Dark Room.
Due to the power restoration, the generator will be emitting damaging shockwaves on the tube. Be on the lookout for this by keeping out of its direction as you return to the dark room from earlier.
2 Turn On Component Printer Terminal.
The lights in the room will be back on once you go back. Look for the component printer terminal next to the big structure in the middle of the room to activate this.
3 Get Picked By a Component Printer as a Morph Ball.
Look for the second Component Printer with the tire hologram and position yourself on it. The Component Printer will register your identical shape to a tire and place you in the narrow passageway above it.

7 Follow the Hall While Avoiding the Lasers
The large robot arm will take you to the upper part of the room. Follow the direction of the lasers, where you can sneak around the blocked off angles whenever a Lamorn Laser-Welding Device stops by.
8 Scan the Security Shutter Terminal.
At the end of the hallway, more robotic spider enemies can be found. Defeat them before activating the Security Shutter Terminal. Scan this first before the Interact prompt pops up.
9 Hop on the Next Elevator.
The door will be accessible after activating the Security Shutter Terminal. Go through this and take the door going to your left to find the next elevator that will take you upstairs.
10 Jump on the Platforms to Get Upstairs.
After exiting the elevator, you will find the room with platforms. Take the one going to the right and hop off from one platform to another until you reach the top area of the floor. Watch out for the electric shockwaves as these can inflict damage.
11 Take the Vi-O-La Suit and Activate the Vi-O-La Bike.
Once you reach the top area of the room with platforms, take the elevator to reach the topmost floor of the tower. Run to the middle of the room and take the Vi-O-La Suit by activating the terminal below the bike. Having the suit will make it possible for you to drive this.

Activate the Generator in Tower 2

Objectives
1 Drive the Vi-O-La Bike to the Next Tower.
Press ZR/R to accelerate your bike. Once the door opens, zoom your way through the connecting road going to the next tower. Press ZL/L to hit the brakes and the + Button to get off the bike.
2 Take the Elevator on Tower 2.
While riding a bike, you are bound to run into stops in each tower. Take the stop in Tower 2, then go to the farthest left to access the elevator. You will know that you are in the right tower if the room is darker than the others.
3 Defeat the Psy-Bot Soldiers.
Exit the elevator going to the next room with an offline Spinner. Approach the hallway, going to the other door to start a cutscene on the arrival of three Psy-Bot Soldiers. Defeat them to access the other door leading to another elevator.
4 Face a Swarm of Enemies in the Next Room.
After riding the elevator, keep going onwards to face another swarm of enemies. These are a combination of the ones you have fought in the previous areas. Defeat them, as you will be locked in the room until they are annihilated. In the opposing room lies another elevator going further down the tower.
5 Keep Going Until You Find the Generator Outside.
From the elevator, keep going onwards until you find another hole that you can sneak into in Morph Ball Mode. After passing through the area in the platformer viewpoint, you will reach the generator outside of the tower.
6 Hit the Triggers Beside the Generator.
Like the previous generator, there are two triggers on both sides of the generator. The left side trigger will require you to use a Psychic Bomb in order to reach this. The same method can be applied to the other trigger, or you can hit it in Morph Ball Mode. Hit them on any order.
7 Activate the Second Generator.
Enter the newly accessible tube in Morph Ball Mode and go around behind the generator to activate this. Go back to where you came from while avoiding the shockwaves that come by at intervals.

Transfer to Tower 3

Objectives
1 Defeat the Boss: Flight Drone MCU
While heading back to the previous area, you will encounter a boss: the Flight Drone MCU. Use Control Beam to aim at the Energy Spheres protecting the Flight Drone MCU's core. You will need to hit all of this within a single turn of Control Beam. Destroy these spheres twice to finish off the enemy.
▶︎How to Beat Flight Drone MCU
2 Face Sylux in the Next Area.
After going past the area with the platformer viewpoint, you will be facing another boss, Sylux. Sylux does not have any particular weak points, so it's best to keep shooting at him whenever you can. While in his spinning tornado attack, bait him to one of your Morph Bombs in Morph Ball Mode to stun him.
▶︎ How to Beat Sylux
3 Defeat the 3 Psy-bots.
Upon beating Sylux, you can enter the recently accessible elevator room that will take you upstairs. In the next area, you will be faced with a Psy-bot Shield and 2 normal Psy-bots. Look for the Psy-bot Shield's blind spots, which will use its electric shield to protect itself and to deal with forceful, heavy damage to you.
4 Cross the Room for the Next Elevator.
Unlike the previous areas, the next room won't require defeating the Psy-bots to access the next elevator room. You can skip across this area and take the next elevator going to the topmost floor of the tower.
5 Ride the Bike to Tower 3.
Approach the driving exit and activate the Vi-O-La. Ride to Tower 3, the final area of Volt Forge.

Take the Vi-O-La Driving Test

1 Activate the Vehicle Manufacturing Tower 3 Hologram.
With Towers 1 and 2 online, activating Tower 3's terminal becomes possible. Scan the terminal at the center among the three holograms to open the next hidden area. You will also receive the Area Map of Tower 3 afterwards.
2 Complete a Full Lap in 50 Seconds.
Go down the newly opened area to begin the trials for the vehicle certification. For the first trial, you will need to complete a full lap within 50 seconds. This is doable as long as you stick to the road course.
3 Destroy 3 Targets with the Vi-O-La's Boost Ability.
Press the B Button to smash the obstacles on the way. Pick up the fuels along the driving course to refill the ability gauge.
4 Destroy 9 Targets with the Power Slide Ability.
Like the Boost ability trial, there will be a group of obstacles along the way. Activate Boost, then immediately hold the B button to engage the Power Slide ability. Use this skill against the targets while picking up fuels to restore your gauge.
5 Scan the Targets and Aim the Vi-O-La's Projectiles at These.
Press the ZL Button to scan the flying targets in the driving course. Afterwards, press the A Button to aim the Vi-O-La's projectiles to destroy these 2 targets.
6 Fire at Multiple Targets.
Hold the A Button to lock on multiple targets. Release the A Button to fire projectiles at them. Keep doing these until you have taken down three groups of targets.
7 Eliminate All Targets for the Final Test.
For the final test, you will be asked to eliminate a few targets to accomplish this. There will be three swarms, each containing a group of moving and attacking enemies.
8 Take the Elevator to Clear the Certification.
After finishing all the trials, an elevator will appear that will let you exit the area. Take this elevator to leave and enter your Certification.

Take the Master Teleportation Key

Objectives
1 Cross the End of the Room
Upon getting off the elevator, you can visit the room to the left to save your game progress. Afterwards, cross the room towards the very end until you see some platforms you can jump onto. Hop onto these platforms until you reach the bottom ground.
2 Defeat Xelios, the Final Boss of Volt Forge.
Keep pressing onwards to the door to find a spacious room. Jump off the ledge and battle Xelios, the last boss fight in Volt Forge.
▶︎ How to Beat Xelios

Xelios will drop the Psychic Boots upon its defeat, which can enable a second jump while airborne through the B or L Buttons. This will also unlock the ability to produce Psychic Platforms. The Master Teleportation Key is obtained by standing in front of the glowing pedestal on the ledge.
