Attack from the shadows

The mayor of New Eridu has given Phaeton an important mission: to visit the Waifei Peninsula and investigate a new incident with Yixuan. To ensure safety, the shifu takes only one protagonist on the airship, leaving the other one for rent. On the way to their destination, an assassination attempt is made on the heroes and the aircraft is shot down, which then falls into a cavern.

Investigate the anomalous infection

Having come to in the danger zone, move forward along the road. Reach the barrier and examine the strange plant located near the "fence". The found object is a frozen clot of filth, which is best not to approach.

On the upper tier you can overcome all the obstacles and reach the descent leading to the other side of the courtyard. Move forward to find Yixuan-shifu and leave the danger zone.

After going down the stairs, you will come across several etherials, which the mentor will help you deal with. Taking control Masters Yixuan, defeat two waves of enemies.

Leave the cavern with Yixuan-shifu

Together with the protector, go to the main road and wait until the girl clears the path from the filth. Move to the nearby rift that leads out of the area.

Having stopped a passing cargo ship, the comrades reach the peninsula without further adventures. On the shore, the mentor and the newly-minted student are met by Fufu.

House of Tigers and Heroes

Shifu goes to the temple on his own, leaving the proxy in the care of the senior student, who promises to give the guest a tour of the city. Talk to the tigress-tiren and begin the tour of the new city.

Take a walk with Fufu

Explore the local attractions with the senior student of Yukun Mountain School: the open sea, the cavern view, and the cicada statues. After While the View Remains Good, head to Lumit Street by cable car. Once you reach your destination, listen to Fufu's story about Failyum.

Having finished with the introduction to the history of the street, the tigress will offer the proxy to walk around the area. She will show the guest the establishment "Tea Celestial", take him to the Osoki shop, where everything necessary is sold, and also visit the pet store "Fluffy", where many cats live.

Check out the strange situation nearby

The peaceful walk will be interrupted by the cries of workers nearby. From the conversation, you will learn that the miners who fell victim to the accident at LumCeramics have not received their compensation from the TOPs. Listen to Ju's indignation and continue on your way.

Go to Suibian Temple with Fufu

Before meeting Yixuan, visit the embankment and admire the view from the platform near the cable car. After talking enough, return to the Suibian Temple, located to the left of the viewpoint. Upon entering the shrine, you will immediately notice two more disciples: the panda Pan Yinhu and Ye Shiyuan.

Before you begin your investigation, listen to the advice of your mentor and have your fortune told by A-Sok. The temple guardian will create a trigram and decipher it, predicting the fate of the proxy.

Meanwhile, it will be possible to find out that the Twentieth is already waiting at the gate, having collected all the cassettes that interest Phaeton. Talk to Banbu and discuss future plans for the video rental store. You should also walk up the street: there, talk to the Iron Coffee Maker, who helped Belle and Wise organize the move of "Random Play".

Return to Suibian Temple and learn from the panda that the full immersion system has already been delivered to the proxy room. Go to the personal living room and contact your brother or sister to discuss the next course of action.

Traces and evidence

Having settled in a new place, it is time to get down to business, for which Phaeton arrived on the peninsula - to conduct an investigation in which TOPs are involved.

Investigate an industrial incident

Go out into the courtyard and talk to Yixuan-Shifu. The temple disciples are threatened by an unknown man, who recommends that the team abandon the idea of ​​helping the workers. Despite what TOP said, visit the streets of the district and question the workers.

Next, head to Circadian Alley to look for the informant. Around the corner, you'll find the aforementioned Paulo and an unknown tyren cat. After talking to the men, convince them to help you find evidence: the worker will bring the proxy to the enterprise, but only the next day.

Return to the temple and, having discussed the details with the school students, agree to set out for the cosmopolis the next day. When everyone goes to bed, talk to the mentor at night. The girl will begin to teach Phaeton the techniques of control over the ether, which will soon come in handy.

Enter the Lemnos Cavern by Cable Car

In the morning, head to the observation deck, where Paulo and the other students are already waiting. Talk to the cable car employee to get to the meeting place with the workers. At the scene, find out more information about what happened from Eric and Dr. Lowrom.

The exploration of the location takes place in reconnaissance mode, in which there is no direct entry into battle, and you can switch between squads at almost any time. As trial characters, the following are offered: mentor Yixuan and its Fufu's student, however, if desired, you can take other agents. Shifu will be useful for passing because flight states, in which the girl moves at high speed.

Use Tracking to find the door opener

Moving further along the territory of the enterprise, you will enter a tunnel leading to technical rooms. Yixuan will teach the proxy the technique of Sense: use "Tracking" (key "R" on PC) and analyze the contaminated tool. Follow the route that appears to a clot of filth, near which you will find a device for opening the door.

Fight your way through hordes of enemies until you reach the elevator that leads to the upper floors of the high-rise. Go a little further and you'll find infected crystals blocking the roads.

Yixuan will train the proxy Technique "Disintegration": aim the "crosshair" at the weak point and press "F" to destroy it. Once the path is clear, defeat the raiders and search the supply boxes near the tower for clues.

Go deeper

Once you reach the first floor, exchange information with Pan Yinghu, then move deeper, dealing with raiders and ethereals along the way. Defeat several elite enemies and soon you will reach a raised bridge. Interact with the terminal and move the dots closer to the center to adjust the curve. This will activate the mechanism and open the way further.

Fight your way through the horde of bandits and reach Dr. Lowre. Help the researcher deal with the powerful etherials so that he can freely collect all the necessary evidence and samples of the infection.

Order from the tea house

Once you've dealt with the infected, focus on getting to know your new surroundings. Talk to your newfound "colleagues" and work together to set up your shelter.

Having taken the order "The Flight of Time: Ten Years of Suibian"  at Fasolka, head to the cable car to reach the rift in Lemnos. Before the start of the run, you will be able to customize your squad. We recommend taking Intimidation agents to your team, as the stunning mechanic works more effectively on enemies in the zone. Explore the contaminated area and get rid of monsters that you encounter along the way until you reach a strong monster.

Defeat the Ethereal blocking your path by continuously attacking it and reducing the level of the Corrupted Shield. You will not be able to defeat the creature, as it will flee after a short period of combat.

Destroy the Corruption Clots associated with the enemy

Continue straight ahead until you reach the escaped monster's lair. Before you fight it again, clear out the nearby infestation: activate the proxy's special skill and cast Disintegrate on the three clots located nearby.

Once the cleansing is complete, destroy the weakened Ethereal and take the resources from the crates it was guarding. Give the materials you find to Fasolka and complete the Tea Celestial's special order to increase the temple's respawn level to 3.

Where the shadows gather

The situation around the workers' strike and the accident in the Central Industrial Zone turned out to be much more serious than expected. Join forces and get to the truth together with other students of the temple.

Go to Dr. Lowra's clinic

After discussing the situation at LumCeramics with your colleagues, visit the doctor who worked with the infected at his clinic in the south of the city. Convey the words of the scientist Komano Manato and receive information from him that the doctor and a group of workers recently went into the cavern.

Look for information about the drug

Return to the others at Suibian Temple and discuss the doctor's actions. Once you decide to go after him, start the "Where the Shadows Gather" quest and enter the reconnaissance area with a trial team of Pan Yinhu, Yixuan, and Ju Fufu.

Destroy the Corruption Craw to destroy the barrier.

Deal with the group of enemies and try to open the way further by destroying the barrier of fel spikes. First, find and destroy all the small clots with the proxy's special targeting skill, then aim the camera at the large cocoon and use Decay several times on its exposed core.

Find a disinfectant near you

Continue your journey, encountering monsters and infected workers until you meet the mentor. Learn the new Manifestation move and try it out by activating the skill to restore the bridge leading further. As you progress through the area, you will encounter this mechanic several more times, removing obstacles from your path.

Find all the boxes of medicine abandoned in the danger zone and return to the gathering place of the victims. It will turn out that some of the workers have already been taken away by Dr. Lowre to perform a special ritual of the Jubilant. Go after him and defeat the fire singer who stands in your way.

Night of disasters

Having uncovered Dr. Lowe's plan, the team must deal with the aftermath of the atrocities and save the city by healing the residents and preventing a rally in the cavern.

Provide assistance to affected citizens

First explore the doctor's clinic Loura: There won't be a "doctor" or any of the Jubilant there, but Fufu and the proxy will find a flash drive that could be a clue. Back at the temple, talk to Belle or Weisz about your next steps.

While talking to the students of the school, Yixuan notices that something strange is happening. Going out into the city, the shifu discovers many infected people and a huge accumulation of filth. Walk down the street and heal the injured citizens, having solved the puzzle of setting up etheric coherence.

Move on and help provide aid to the suffering citizens, who are only increasing in number. To solve the final riddle Unravel the Ethereal Chain, dragging point "A" to the right and "B" to the left. Then it remains to arrange them so that the running light touches all four checkpoints.

It is not possible to heal everyone, which is why Yixuan-shifu decides use seals and place the talismans in four boundaries. In this way, the girl manages to cleanse each inhabitant from the infection that will consume her body.

After escorting the ailing teacher to the bedroom, talk to the senior student Fufu about the shifu. After discussing what happened, visit Yixuan again, then head to bed.

Go to the Lemnos cavern

After talking to Eric, you will understand that the union and some of the workers are also involved in the incident. Visit the central square and look at the protesters. It will become clear: you need to urgently go to the cosmopolis and get the civilians out of there.

Fighting through crowds of Ethereals, the squad reaches the Jubilant supply area and destroys all the crates. A minute before the school's students arrive, Dr. Lowre enters the filth on the Creator's orders. Despite their disrupted plans and the destroyed meeting place, the Guardian's followers continue to prepare for the ritual.

Back at the temple, the team discusses their plan of action once again. This time, only Yixuan, Fufu, and Pan Yinhu are sent to the reconnaissance zone, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past and destroy an entire generation of followers of the school.

Find a way to break the etheric barrier

Returning to the cosmopolis, overcome the obstacles in the form of monsters and reach the closed gate. Use "Manifestation" and aim the "sight" at the tracer emitter and the refractor to destroy the etheric barrier with their help. Having descended, destroy the barrier with "Disintegration".

Destroy the second etheric barrier by revealing the four parts of the mechanism. Once the refraction device is operational, the remote will become available.

Examine all three clues found along the way to the goal, then examine the huge clot of filth. Continue moving towards the laboratory, where you will have to defeat the mini-boss Avar.

Defeat Guardian Mevorakh

Disable the engine and inspect the mechanisms in the basement, then reach the Tower Plaza, where the final boss fight will take place. Defeat the guardian Mevorakh using all the power of Yixuan.
