Old Observatory Area 2 Guide

Arpeggio Fault Area 2 Strategy

1. Collect Contribution Points at the Start
2. Get All the Cross Blast Bombs
3. Get Silk From Merchants
4. Take Advantage of Rest Areas
5. Carefully Choose Buffs

Collect Contribution Points

In the first few floors, collect as many Contributions Points to either upgrade to two Agent helpers or to get higher tier Agents who can support you within Area 2.

You can upgrade to get two agents by giving the Pink Gun TV Tile 50 Contribution Points.

Get All the Bombs

Get as many Cross Blast plug-ins as possible and use them sparingly on walls or tactical spikes blocking items.

Get Crimson Silk From Merchants

Merchants in the Arpeggio Fault are different from the usual Merchants in Hollow Zero. You can set bombs on them and once they disappear, in their place are numerous Crimson Silks.

Take Advantage of Rest Areas

If you have a lot of bombs, especially the Resonia, which adds two more bombs when you release one, interact with the RIP Rest Areas until they disappear.

It will spawn strong enemies but it will also release numerous rewards.

Choose Your Plug-Ins and Resonia

In this stage, it's important to choose Plug-Ins or Resonia which will increase your HP and buff your bombs. HP specifically for you and your Agents so you can withstand damage.
