At the bottom is one Flopper and some E-Crystals. Nothing too perplexing to handle before entering the facility's shutter door, the last section of Computer Zone 2.

This last room has a series of Floppers in your way of Leviathan. If you need a health refill, there's one just above the shutter door. Blast through this cheap defense at your own pace.

When you reach the data vault, you'll find Fairy Leviathan has anticipated your arrival, and pulls a dirty trick, flooding the room to suit her own attack style with a playful laugh. Eager to play with Zero, she tries to make her greeting short but bittersweet. Needing to go after Elpizo, she skips to what she does best; mopping the floor with stubborn enemies.

This female Reploid general hasn't mellowed out one bit since your last fight. Having a rematch is enough to send her into a frenzy. Her old attacks remain in place, aided with some newly-mastered skills. There's no spikes anymore, but Leviathan doesn't need them to help her lay a beatdown on Zero. Her HP has also been knocked down a bar, but only because this fight is much wilder than the last. One thing hasn't changed, though: she's weak to fire.
This female Reploid general hasn't mellowed out one bit since your last fight. She isn't hungry for violence like Fefnir because of her nonchalant and teasing nature, not really showing much concern for anything. However, her impish behavior is tinted with a sour note. She has a sadistic streak and teases her opponents with a playful attack style. Having a rematch is enough to send her into a frenzy. Her old attacks remain in place, aided with some newly-mastered skills. There's no spikes anymore, but Leviathan doesn't need them because would be no fun if the victory was cheap. She is perfectly capable of doing their job on her own. Her HP has also been knocked down a bar, but only because this fight is much wilder than the last. Regardless, the one thing that has remained absolute is her weakness to Fire-element attacks.


=== A flirtatious siren ===
Leviathan's original attack patterns have been improved, but haven't changed drastically. She also tends to make graceful swims in between attacks, aiding with her helmet jet, having a little too much fun to pay attention to her blind spots. You can really nail her during these moments, before she tries to nail you.

==== EX Skill: Freezing Whirlpool ====
==== EX Skill: Freezing Whirlpool ====
Leviathan's original EX Skill, Freezing Dragon, has been switched out for a much more cold-hearted onslaught. Instead of hunting you down, she draws you in. At A-Rank and up, when her HP drops to just about under half, she'll initiate her Overdrive, supercharging her body. She'll be coated in a blue flame the whole time, making her completely invincible while she shows no mercy. Following her activation of Overdrive, she'll use the speed boost to twirl her trident quickly enough to form a huge whirlpool, and try to reel you over to her like a fish. She'll also send out spearheads to hunt you, even more baffling to avoid while you try to fight the pull of the whirlpool. Leviathan cannot maintain the power boost for a very long time at the risk of damaging herself, and she will have to stop at some point. When she does, she'll slam her spear into the ground and set off a shower of ice daggers in different directions. With no way of fighting back, wait out the attack from a safe corner. You'll be able to go after Leviathan again when it wears out, and easily evade the incoming ice shower.

Leviathan's attacks are up close and personal throughout this battle. Stay focused on hitting her from a safe distance to avoid damage, and if you can finish her off quickly, she may not get the chance to use her EX Skill. Stay sharp, and make this sly Reploid see you're not a mere plaything.

After returning to base, Zero is filled in by Ciel that Elpizo has found the secret code hidden in the Computer Facility. This code, "YGGDRASIL", is a password that opens a door to a place with the utmost degree of security in Neo Arcadia. If the first administrators of the city hid that code so well, they must have meant business about the secret behind it.

The next areas in the lineup of missions are terribly challenging. Comparing the Shuttle Factory to the Crystal Cave, Crystal Cave, Sage Harpuia's territory, doesn't have as many risks, but a lot of confusing traps. It's a good idea to go there, but the task of getting through, put simply, is a game of memory...
