3 rewards and the tomb wall

You cannot obtain Quatern's Electro-Emitter, Steam Town's Quick Repair, or Boss Battery's Electric Orbs by searching only for items lying along routes. Check the conversations and battles that produce rewards.

Power Processor requires Sonnet's green skull for 500 and Reaper's red skull for 750. Break the skull-embedded wall in southwest Catacombs and proceed inside.

Check color and acquisition type when missing chips

Before declaring full collection, identify whether you are missing any of the 11 shop chips or 17 exploration/reward chips. Owned chips count for checking acquisition even when unequipped.

An older achievement article's count of 24 disagrees with the dedicated list's 28. This table uses 28 by comparing the dedicated article, an independent collection list, and early Steam requirements.

Coverage and unverified points

Added 32 progression/revisit stages, main collection tables, and 29 normal-layout lore reading points with entrance requirements. Lore 28's location, L24's regional landmark, all display differences, every passage/wall across 339 cells, enemy HP/attack frames, and lore text are not included.
Sources disagree on Quatern's chip/fragment reward thresholds, Lune's poem count, and the older area text's red-skull price. No fixed thresholds are asserted: finish dialogue after all 24 Power Cells, hear every poem, and use the dedicated shop price of 750 for the skull.
Separates 40 normal achievements from 8 additions and checks the 2 added stations in normal mode too. Added Corrupt's 16 relocations/23 temporary health points, spare-parts uses without merchants, a PC record's saving cost of 100, and Atom's 3 phases. All chips/cells/platform-specific costs in that mode, all modified trial HP, and no-hit procedures remain uncovered. The normal 28-chip list is not copied as a complete Corrupt list.
Competitor prose, translated full chapters, map layouts, game screens, and sprites are not reproduced. Internal verification distinguishes text readable in the public browser from originals that could not be obtained due to native 403 responses.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Q1 I cannot find the 28th chip ▼

Check remaining shop stock, Quatern, the parent after rescuing the children, Catacombs' skull wall, and hidden ceiling passages.

Q2 How many Power Cells must I give Quatern for the chip? ▼

Sources disagree between 12/13/14, so no fixed threshold is asserted. Collect all 24 normal Power Cells and talk during collection and at the end to claim every reward.
