2 main-story stages and added areas

The main route is free the 3 Creators individually → Virus in Mainframe → reload save → Verse/Archives' Three Creators. Check conditions such as TV Boss before entering Old Arcadia.

  1. Reload the same save after Virus.
  2. Check Verse's event at the eastern door from Forgotten's First Tree side.
  3. Inspect the Archives terminal and defeat Three Creators.
  4. Return to the western door in Last Bunker.

Exploring Old Arcadia

Descend from the entrance and open the Abandoned connection with the lower elevator and lever. Check the repair point, Elegy battle, and records to read on returning.

  1. From the large western room, cross the fiery platforms below and use the elevator to open the normal-map route.
  2. Hook to the repair point above the large room.
  3. Defeat Elegy, talk, save, then return to read the records.
  4. Use a key in the Rusted Key hole behind the waterfall on the left, then attack the small furnace to release it.

Connections to Birthplace and the trials

Following the small furnace leads to a hidden route through a teleportable wall. Open the upper elevator and Bunker connection to complete the additional map routes.

  1. Climb the waterfall; circle from the left to open the right-hand Hook route and lever.
  2. Teleport through the western wall where the small furnace leaves, then break another wall.
  3. Take the elevator up. Check Birthplace's records and the Bunker connection.
  4. Return below, then take the teleport route to the eastern arena. Open the repair point/practice room/shortcut on the right.

100% and the additional 15% are separate

For normal 100%, fulfill ordinary collection, map, boss, and other conditions, then save. After the last item, save at a repair point and check achievement updates.

The additional 15% covers Old Arcadia exploration and Trial of Steel Gold. Corrupt 100% has separate mode-specific requirements; do not search for the normal 24 Power Cells or 12 fragments in the same way.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Q1 Old Arcadia's door will not open ▼
A

Beyond main-story completion, check required bosses including TV Boss, entered using ball form and Bomb. The normal Virus ending alone does not finish everything.

Q2 I cannot find the route to Birthplace ▼
A

After Elegy, use the key behind the left waterfall to release and follow the small furnace. Teleport through the hidden western wall and reach the upper elevator.
