| - As Shion, enter the elevator and ride it down to the planet's surface. Exit and proceed across the east bridge, and out onto the area map. Here you may wander around and explore, but there's nothing to do except go to the city and find the Mobius Hotel. Use the Save Point, then continue east. Enter the Cafe Stream and blow stuff up! Just find an ANTIDOTE, a NANO REPAIR M, and a REMOVER. Talk to a few of the folks in here to learn about Carnelian Eggs. More on this much later. Exit and use the shop to the east to get Shion some new gear. If you would like to get some items, feel free to do so. I would save a few bucks for later though. Setting aside some funds now will help you be that much more ahead the next time you go shopping. Just in case you've forgotten about saving money after playing Episode II, in which you gain NO moneys... After shopping, exit north. Here, ignore those boxes up north and the Mobius Hotel right behind them for now. Go east. You may mess around in the G.F.G Showroom, but it has nothing of value EXCEPT a HaKox station. Yup, that's right. HaKox. Say it out loud. HaKox. HAHAHAHA. You said... Yes, well, never mind. It's a pretty rad mini-game that I will NOT be writing strategy for. If you can master the simple techniques, you can master the advanced ones. It just takes P-R-A-C-T-I-C-E, so, practice! If you need more advice on advanced techniques or good skills to practice, refer to the in-game tutorial as a trustworthy source of that information. In case you are pissed off at me and need MORE advice on HaKox, never fear, walkthroughs for it DO exist. Just not here. Youtube has some AMAZING videos that show you how to do the stages perfectly, FYI. You will get various wonderful items for completing the varying difficulties. Here's the list, and I'll be sure and mention throughout the walkthrough when you can complete new difficulties and win new rewards... So complete World 1 now if you can. You can. After messing around with HaKox, continue east to the park. On the east walkway, destroy the little lantern objects to find 100 G. At the corner, notice Isakios. We'll be talking to him later about a certain password... Moving north, destroy the small objects on the right to find a DOWN REPAIR. Go all the way up to the lookout area, then head down the west side and go into the water. Blow up the object at the end of the water path to find 200 G. Now leave the park and go blow up those boxes I told you to ignore earlier... After reading or not reading the tutorial on Segment Addresses, go into the Mobius Hotel just to the north. Destroy the left object in the entry hallway for 50 G. Who the HELL left 50 G here? Who the HELL left G anywhere ELSE for that matter? I don't fuckin' care, it's ours now. Go up the escalator for a scene. After the scene, go east and use the console. Say 'Yes' to get 10 G. Whoop-dee-doooooo... Destroy the objects on the left to find a MED KIT S and a DOWN REPAIR. Destroy the rotating orbs just south of those items to find 50 G and a MED KIT S. After you find the items, ride the elevator up to Shion's room (:D). Watch some scenes. Check the incoming call when it comes in. After those FREAKIN' EPIC CUTSCENES, go down the elevator. Go back to the Cafe Stream and meet everyone's mysterious friend, chaos. WTF is going on with Shion? I don't get it.... Well.... I DO get it... But I'm not allowed to tell you. It hath been decreed. After the cutscenes, go down to meet Allen. This page of the walkthrough seems mostly about getting you from cutscene to cutscene haha. It IS about that. Ah well. After the scene, go back inside the Hotel and up to the elevator. Speak with the purple-suited dude to learn about his Grandma. Go to the park again. Go up to the top level and speak with Paola and the orange-suited dude to eventually get a DIVE TEDDY for Shion. It's fuckin' sweet! Equip it. Destroy the object just in front of where the orange-suited dude was standing to lower the gate in the waterway. Go down the stairs and west into that waterway. Destroy the object at the end to find a NANO REPAIR M. If you haven't spoken with Isakios yet, do that. Then go back to the Mobius and exit into the area map. Go all the way east to find the CAT Testing Grounds. Enter. Follow the paths that aren't blocked to reach the actual testing area. WOW. Nice scenes. I'm glad I can help you find them. After the scenes, go south to exit the testing area. You will be called in by our old pallllllll Juli! After THAT scene, open the chest on the east side of the room to find DECODER 04, then exit west. Go north and jog east across the observation area and exit south. Board the transporter to reach the next area. In the next area, run north into the second blue alcove to find stairs leading down. Press the red button to open a grate blocking a chest which you can only open later... Run back up and continue east. Follow the path into the Vector room. Watch the scene... Whoever this Roth Mantel guy is, he can eat a dick. After all of that, exit the CAT Testing Grounds and return to the City. Go to the park before the Mobius however, and find Isakios again. If you go to the top level and down the left side you will find him wandering aimlessly there (a lot of people seem to do that these days). He will teach you the password to the Cafe Stream's secret menu. Guess what? Go to the Cafe Stream and speak with Oksana. Ask to see the Secret Menu, then tell her the password. After telling her the password, you will open up a new menu item, the CARNELIAN EGG CUISINE. Talk with Kesar at one of the tables (be sure to use File:L1 Button.png or File:R1 Button.png to target the conversation and not his food). You will gratuitously obtain the HONEY TEDDY (That's what I think of when they say Honey Teddy anyway...). MOMO will equip this later. You may now proceed to the Mobius. Go up to Shion's room for more cutscenes. You will regain control periodically, but you don't need directions. It's just loads of cutscenes as soon as you attempt to go anywhere. AFTER all of the scenes, however... Exit the Hotel and go west to the area map. Go north on the map to the Orbital Elevator and use it to go up. Board the Durandal! (I've been waiting to say that :D) After the scene, go alll the way back to the Mobius Hotel and speak with Allen in the lobby. Learn about Skills and such. After that, say 'Yes' to his next question.
