- Cells: Old Ducalion Shieldcell
- MysTech: CobaltCrawler
- Skills:
- Cat Burglar Suit (Stiletto's 1st level skill, Stealth)
- Nuclear Defence Plans Pages 1-4 (Democratus' 3rd level skill)
- Collectibles: TACO
OPTIONAL: Go back into the council room and talk to folks. One of them gives you an Old Ducalion Shieldcell, which is obsolete at this point. Continue into the Warship Bay area. At the end of the first hallway, there is a CobaltCrawler on the bench. Go back towards where you got the fighter; go down twice, through a door and tunnel. In a chest on the far wall is the Cat Burglar Outfit, which teaches Stiletto the Stealth skill. If you want more experience, you can wander around picking fights with the Robodes; otherwise, head back to the council waiting room.
Step out the door and talk to Sergeant Guff twice for the last TACO.
Head out into Votowne and go down the ramp. Around to the left side of the ramp are the Nuclear Defense Plans Page 4.
Continue on to the second section of Votowne, and down the ramp to the right. On the inside at the bottom are the Nuclear Defence Plans Page 3.
Go through town; when you have to go right around a building, go down into the dimly lit area for Nuclear Defense Plans Page 2.
Page 1 is in the crack to the right of the final ramp up to a door you can't go through.
Go on to the Republic Inn. There's a guy in the lobby who will give you Healgrease for a picture of the party.
Talk to the clerk, and choose to stay Now. When you wake up, head back to the shuttle and Sender Station.
Sender Station[edit]
Talk to Rukh to get quest #4: Visit Brother Morpheus. (He might be in an alcove in the GDP lobby.)
Also talk to the Brebulan at gate 4; he asks you to find his pills, which are behind the tree in the park by Vend-O-Mart.
Talk to the TACO guy to get Hoppercut (Paco's Excellent weapon, melee). Of course, Tumbleslam is better, so you probably won't actually use it except to see the silly animation.
Take your new moss down to the MugMug. Or wait until you get back from Limbus; neither of these are that exciting.
- Hero Moss - MugMug Sluggicell (648/216/162, slow)
- Waugee Moss (only if you took Stiletto) - 2-1 host
Take Democratus to visit the Engineer in the GDP to install the LaserArray and Nuclear Arsenal systems you found; these cost 4000 and 8000 loonies, respectively.
Then go back to the lounge and pick up Paco and PAL for an excursion.
Take the pills back to the Brebulan for $250, then head for Anachronox.
If you haven't completed the OneGate quest for Mardoman yet, do that now. Have Paco take the Bloodstone while you're there. Then go back to Sender Station and do the quest for Salsa.
Mardoman, wants photos of the 5 MysTech clusters in the museum. Reward: PsySummon MysTech.
Hephaestus[edit]
Take Paco to visit Mrs. Invisiblus in the slums for Master RageMight.
Talk to Brother Morpheus in the Tower, by the window you climbed through before.
Take PAL to Moon Burger again.
Sender Station[edit]
Report back to Rukh. If you did all three earlier quests, there's no reward.
Choose your party for Limbus and head out. You will want to take Stiletto, Rho and Paco to Limbus at some point, but you can't take all of them now, so it's up to you. You should take at least one, so you only have to make one trip back with the other two.
Limbus[edit]
When the cutscene ends, run around to the other side of the shuttle to get Wild Moss.
Kill the Clams and go between the pillars. Kill more clams; there's a TimeMinder Tear off to the left. Continue, and past the steps there is a Two-Function Host on the left. Continue on to the Sagentane Crevice map.
Walk up and kill the slugs. On the far side of the battleground is the Obsidian bug mound, finally. Get at least three.
At the next battlefield is a Lifeflower. As usual, hit it every time you go by.
The next battle is with more clams. If you head to the right through the crack here, eventually you will find a Healgrease Complete. Turn around and go down through the doorway; eventually you will meet more slugs. Continue to find another HC, and come out again by the Lifeflower.
The next battlefield has a BlastSack.
Continue on into the tunnel. Prepare yourself for a more serious fight with some Sagen-Kra at the end; they attack in two waves of three, and either use MysTech status attacks or a tail attack that hits everyone for 1000 damage. Sometimes they will join together to charm one of your characters. They seem to be immune to status effects from MysTech but it does plenty of damage. They are also immune to Bouge group attacks. Also, stunning skills work normally.
Cutscene.
Now you need to assign a party member to each of the three "points of interest". Two are normal fights, one is a mini-game, so save your weakest fighter for the last.
The first point of interest is the Bridge of Betrayal where you fought the Sagen-Kra, back through the door behind you after the cutscene.
The second is the Cliffs of Casting, to the left of the first big room in the city. There is also a yellow bug mound in this room, if for some reason you aren't already fully stocked.
Continuing on, you will reach a junction with a tunnel to the left and a door to the right. Turning right takes you to the hotel and throne room. Turning left at the junction takes you up to the Lance of the Vigil, the third point of interest. Be sure to grab the Three-Function Host along the way.
When you've visited all three points, the battle will begin with the Lance minigame. Shoot the transports. There are 25 transports; the more you miss, the more your compatriot will have to fight at the Cliffs (up to 9). The battle at the Bridge is always with three enemies. The Dark Servants are very vulnerable to MysTech; Freeze and Poison are good bets.
Head back to the throne room and talk to Santadramangetricus for a cutscene. He will set you on the next stage of your quest: Head back to Anachronox and talk to good old Rowdy, who apparently is a Limbus agent.
While you're still here, do some side quests:
The armorer wants you to find an Underplate. It's back out in the Crevice, in the side area by the clam battlefield. Talk to the soldier and he'll give it to you. While you're there, continue through to get the Stargent Enerstrike, Grumpos' Excellent weapon. Return the Underplate to the armorer, and he will let you buy the Vigil Safecell for 8000 loonies. Buy it! This is the first cell you can find that will let you cast Harmonic and Ultimate spells. See the MysTech section for more information.
Outside the armorer, Janterzinkothquodelle wants you to catch 10 baby Hyrax. This is a rather annoying quest, as the Hyrax only appear about once a minute. Furthermore, it's buggy; often he fails to notice that you have all 10. But if you really want to give it a try:
- TimeMinder area
- From the TimeMinder through the archway.
- Between the torches at the archway.
Memorial/Cliffs area:
- From the bench by the shoulderpad to the Yellow mound.
- From the armorer to the Yellow mound.
- From the bench by the memorial to the Cliffs.
Junction area:
- At the junction, along the long side.
Hotel/Throne room area:
- Along the wall to the left after the door from the junction.
- To the hotel door, and then along its outside wall.
- Near the throne room, between the two blocked doors facing each other.
- To the same door, from the door just uphill.
Reward: Regenergy Round (I'm told).
Have Stiletto talk to Thennikendonorr at the junction to get Master Throw Loonie.
Take Paco to the hotel to get a Crimson Stone, which he will be able to use to learn Proxima Punch, once it's been irradiated on Hephaestus. Other hotel rooms contain a Healgrease Plus and a Blue mound. The shopkeeper in the back will give you Firestorm MysTech.
Take Rho to the throne room to get the Limbusonian Archentome, which she can use to learn Pocket Singularity, her 4th-level skill.
A guy outside the hotel will tell you how you did in the battle.
When you're done, head back to Sender Station.
