How to start the quest

After passing "Emergency 2" After watching TV with Belle, head outside to meet the Shepherd at the cafe. Chat with him to receive a new order. Now return to the video store, interact with the HDD system and find the corresponding task in the “Main Line”.

The game will advise you to take ice and ethereal characters of at least level 23, but we were able to complete this mission with level 20 heroes. The main thing is to make sure that they have upgraded skills and equipment.

Clear building materials 1 and 2

Once you appear on the game board, go to the right and stand on the square with the monster. The test will begin. Deal with the first group of monsters, among which there will be observation mechanisms (hit them in the eye). Then go to the next room and destroy another group of ethereals. After this, you will return to the main field - stand in the observation area at the top.

As a result, you will unlock a new area ahead. Most objects will be blocked by obstacles (brick walls), so first stand on the "Z" square on the left and at the top to grab the first clearing of building materials. In this test you will simply need to destroy all the barrels, boxes, pallets and cans that come your way. Please note that there is an abundance of garbage here, so it is not necessary to destroy absolutely all supplies.

Returning back, you will find a banbu with explosives on the right, which will clear the way for you. Go right to second clearing zone and start a new challenge. Here you will again have to destroy supplies, but this time you will also have to dodge lasers (red beams) and mortars (red circles on the ground).

After passing the test, go down to pick up first data packet, and then go right to the damaged banbu. Press the button several times "Transfer plugins" to get a new ability "Cross Explosion". Thanks to it, you can now place bombs with the “R” key, which will explode after 5 of your moves, covering three cells in each vertical and horizontal row.

Next, you will need to destroy the infected Banboo by damaging him with explosions 6 times. To do this, you can use both your own bombs and enemy ones. Note that you can move explosives by pushing them in one direction or another. This way you can move the dynamite closer to the enemy.

The enemy will also try to place bombs near you. He also usually avoids the player, so he moves in the opposite direction. You can use this to your advantage - for example, corner the enemy, as shown in the picture below, and then place a bomb in front of him and prevent him from leaving the area.

Hide behind walls or stand diagonally from the bombs to prevent your agents from getting damaged when they explode. Having dealt with the enemy, destroy the walls on the upper left and lower right to open access to second data packet and a golden suitcase.

Clear building materials 3

Now go back to the left and destroy the obstacles with bombs to open a passage to the third construction site. However, before you step onto the “Z” square, pick up third data packet below and a purple suitcase above, then blow up some more walls to collect two supply cases.

Then you can begin the final test. Here you have to destroy supplies and defeat Farbauti, who is vulnerable to Ice (you can freeze him) and Ether. Use perfect assist when you see golden halo attacks, or make a rebound and then counterattack.

Watch out for his combos - he will start slamming the ground while heading in your direction. Try to immediately dash to the side to get out of his way, and then hit the monster on the back. Having dealt with the mini-boss and destroying all the garbage, you will complete the task.

If you followed our instructions, you will receive an “S” grade and earn the maximum reward: 268 Internot credits, 60 polychromes, 17 thousand dennies and upgrade materials.
