[edit] Sender Station, Take 4

Time to pick a party again. This time you have to take Democratus. Also grab Stiletto for now.

Talk to Salsa for a job (if you took the OneGate photos to Mardoman).

Take Democratus to the GDP and have the Democratan engineer install the plans you found on Hephaestus for $2000. This teaches him Stare Down, which both does damage and stuns.

For Salsa, beat up the goon by the doors to the terminal, and take the Detta Credentials.

Head into the Routubes. On your way in, hit the Lifeflower and Yellow, Blue, White and Red bug mounds.

For Salsa, when you get to the dealer who previously sold you the sleeping drug, talk to him. Either insult him or kill him.

Before the TimeMinder in the Lower Routubes you can tractor in a PurpleBeetle off to the right side of the path.

In the Red Light District, Detective Rukh is now standing by Tubby's, and he has another job for you.

Talk to the floater to the left for a Cobalt Crawler.

Take Stiletto back to the Cold Sweat Sex Machine. The guy at the table before the bar gives you $50. A woman in the Female restroom gives you the Hot Merc Santa Suit, which teaches you the Charm skill.

Talk to the bartender for a lead. Head for Slutopia, and talk to the guy in a booth who isn't watching the show. Then go back to Rukh, who teaches you Master Lockpick.

Visit the MugMugs again and trade the Monk Moss for Firestorm MysTech (Red, Excellent).

Head back out of the Routubes, hitting the mounds and flower along the way. Talk to Salsa for a Regenergy Round.

[edit] Anachronox, Take 4

On Anachronox, throw a loonie at the switch next to the shuttle to open a compartment with three Bindlebags.

Head for the back room of your office.

Along the way, hit the Green mound in the Spiral gravpath, and go back and forth across the gravpath a few times to get more.

When you get to your office, open the chest for an AutoTargeter, which teaches Boots the Cap skill.

If Rho hasn't learned MysShield yet, buy her the Mysteria Scientifica at Plib's.

Talk to the Red Bipidri guy for Paco Annual Special #4: Tumbleslam Style.

Talk to Zordo for a Two-Function Host.

Head back to Sender Station, hitting the Green mound again on your way out.

If you want to do other character-specific stuff on Hephaestus, go ahead, but it isn't necessary. If you do go back, also break into Mrs. Invisiblus' chest for FreezySlicer MysTech.

OK, now you need to decide who your third character will be on the next mission: PAL, Rho or Stiletto. Each has a solo mission, and you can only do one. PAL's is in an abandoned factory, Rho's has kind of an Indiana Jones feel, and Stiletto's is making fun of Endor in Return of the Jedi. The cutscenes just as you leave Sender Station and after all the solo missions have slightly different dialogue with each character.

All three find their Great weapon. PAL and Stiletto get new skills. Each finds a shieldcell which also protects from their color of MysTech. Only the one Stiletto finds has shields. The fights beforehand will be easier with PAL or Rho, since they have Bouge that hit all enemies. Stiletto has an extra cutscene. Stiletto's mission is mostly fighting, and PAL and Rho have no fighting.

If you want to play the others as well, you can use the debug menu (pull down the console and type "invoke 1:86") to restart from Boots' solo mission with a different character. You should go back to your main game after you're done, though.

Before you go, upgrade to Sender Standard Shieldcells (256/128/64) from Vend-O-Mart. If you missed someone's Good weapon, buy that too. When you're ready, head for the shuttle and choose Limbus.
