Locations

# Surface

## Spaceship

The home of the playable characters Renna, Eloen, and Nue.
You can access the computer on the ground floor to see which weapons are in the game.
Note that entries will only unlock if you die with that weapon equipped.

## Base Camp

The surface of the moon you are on. This location gives access to your spaceship, the Commander shop, and has teleporters to the dungeons.
At first the only teleporter available is the one leading to the Ancient Techforest.

## The Commander Shop

A shop that has three weapons for sale. By purchasing these weapons with Teamerite you add them to the list of possible white chest weapons.
The weapons are powerful, but you should wait until after repairing all three transporters.
Once you buy all three weapons and complete a run the inventory is renewed with three different weapons.

# Dungeons

## Post-boss sanctuary

In each you can find an engineer that requires 1 or more Teamerite, 1 or more Golden Key and a few hundred Cells to fix the teleporter here.
By paying the price you can teleport to here from Base Camp. Repaired teleports are permanent.
Using the teleport to deeper dungeons (Thule Wulz Grotto, Prime Reactor, and Gigacocoon) will grant you a number of Talent Points to offset the shorter run.
There's usually a nurse that will restore 5HP, a Talent Tablet, a shop, and one or more NPCs with some story information.

## Ancient Techforest

Initially the only dungeon available from Base Camp.
Consists of two areas. There are shops between each.

* Sinister Sentinel (150HP)
* Omega Zero (300HP)

## Thule Wulz Grotto

Initially accessed after clearing the Ancient Techforest and using the sanctuary teleporter.
Consists of two areas, the second one is dark. There are shops between each.

* Rusty Oxtator (1500HP)
* EMX Prototype (1200HP)

## Prime Reactor

Initially accessed after clearing the Thule Wulz Grotto and using the sanctuary teleporter.
Consists of two areas. There are shops between each.

* Pure Energy (1000HP)

## Gigacocoon

Initially accessed after clearing the Prime Reactor and using the sanctuary teleporter.
Consists of two areas. There are no shops between each.
After the second area, you enter a pre-boss sanctuary with a Talent Tablet and a 99HP med-kit. The teleporter at the right side leads to the boss.
A 3-key chest will appear after you've cleared the game with Eloen and Nue (may be different).

* Giga Gaia (5000HP)

# Secret Locations

Some locations are only accessible by completing an NPC's quest, or by entering a code near a structure.

## Blackstorm Lab

In the sanctuary of Ancient Techforest there is a small tablet with binary code. An NPC in the sanctuary area of Gigacocoon will hint as to what you need to do to enter this secret location.
Press "up" for "1" and "down" for "0" and follow the order of the code on the tablet.
Once you've warped to the entry room to the Lab you can speak to the NPC there to gain a glove that gives +4 STR.
This room will also have a chest that requires 3 keys to open, but contains an S-rank weapon. The chest will only appear if you met the requirements (uncertain, but it'll spawn after completing the game with Eloen (no BlackStorm Lab) and Nue (with Ivory Tundra)).

Because this location is extra difficult, it recommended to only attempt this once the Uber Chest is present. This chest will spawn once the game has been completed (without using the teleporter on the surface) by two different characters (in my case Eloen and Nue).
The chest contains one of the S-rank swords (see Equipment) and needs 3 Golden Keys to open. The easiest to get this many keys in two areas (the entrance is after Ancient Techforest) is to play as Eloen as she starts with one key.

The best Special Items to bring to this location are the "X-Ray Goggles", "Vampire Ring", and "Shield Ring". These increase your visibility, allows health regain and saves you from one hit. If you do not get one of these items after defeating the Ancient Techforest boss, you can still make it.

Preparing to go through Blackstorm Lab starts in Ancient Techforest:

* Maximize experience gained from enemies, saving the mini-bosses for when you can use all their XP.
* Ensure you have a shield when speaking to Jeremy in the first safe area. This gives you +2 STR, and will get you another +2 STR when you get the Golden Glove.
* Have enough TP to get your DEF to 6 (requires level 10) to minimize damage taken.
* Any TP not spendable on DEF should be spent on HP to maximize survival chances.
* Defeat the first boss without getting hit to get the Silver Helmet for a 5 HP bonus.

The best loadout is as follows:

* Silver Helmet (+5HP)
* Silver Glove + Golden Glove (+4 STR)
* 6 DEF (10 TP used)
* 29+ HP
* Hollow Sword (50 damage)
* 1 Shield Charge
* (optional) X-Ray Goggles

When you're ready, enter the Lab. The first thing to do is finding out where the enemies are, and which ones are an immediate threat to you.

After the first area, you'll see two transporters:

* Left: leads out to Thule Wulz Grotto
* Right: leads to the next Blackstorm Lab area. Has a symbol below it; remember it.

After the second and third areas, there will be three and four transporters. Enter the one with the same symbol as before.

There is no hurry to finish, so take your time to get through. Use the sounds to find out enemy positions and, if possible, let them kill each other. Patience is important here.

Use Eloens time-bomb as often as required, and try to get a better position to defeat enemies without getting hit in return.

Keep an eye out for ceiling mounted turrets: they constantly track you and their projectiles will damage you. Shoot them or hit them through the walls if you can.

Stay away from the big red tank; it has 500 HP and shoots explosive charges. It will destroy the environment and, if close to a wall while shooting it, will **fly** away fast in the opposite direction! This thing is extremely dangerous!

There is a free +99HP medkit after you've cleared two areas. This means you need to survive two areas before your HP is restored completely and for free.
Once you've gotten through all four areas in this Lab, you'll arrive at the safe area with a shop, a Talent Tablet, and the teleporter to the boss of this location.

If you've defeated most enemies in the Lab you could be above level 40 and have nearly 30 TP to spend. If the Space Shop has no HP potions for sale, use the Talent Tablet to level up and put (nearly) everything in HP.
The boss, 01010010 is nigh impossible to defeat without taking damage.

## Phoenix Wastes

Only accessible by playing as Renna and giving the red guy in between areas what he asks for. This NPC asks for Cells five times: 25, 50, 75, 100, and 200.
Upon giving him the final 200 and clearing Thule Wulz Grotto you'll meet him standing next to a giant drill. He will then offer to take you to this secret area.
Consists of two areas. There are no shops between each.

* The Robot Commander (1500HP)

## Ivory Tundra

Only accessible by playing as Nue and giving the red guy in between areas what he asks for. This NPC asks for Cells five times: 25, 50, 75, 100, and 200.
Upon giving him the final 200 and clearing Thule Wulz Grotto you'll meet him standing next to a giant drill. He will then offer to take you to this secret area.
Consists of two areas, the first is dark. There are no shops between each, but there is one before the boss.

* The General GrulGuk (500HP)

**Secret boss**

After clearing Ivory Tundra and getting warped to Gigacocoon you will find two chests; one contains the Xenon Prototype 01.
On this screen there is a gap in the ceiling on the right. Jump through this and keep jumping up while moving right. Once you don't fall back down, press UP to use the hidden teleporter. Enter the spaceship on the new screen to start the AI Mothership battle.

* AI Mothership (4000HP)
