The chapter begins at the airport, in the southeast corner of the zone. Go northeast to find a shop where you can purchase some new items and gear for your team. The Ring of Life is a smart buy, but definitely be sure to grab a Blue Ridge Times for later. And just like that, Shadow decides to join your party! Talk to him about his friend, E-123 Omega, then head northwest to the booth. At this point, you can continue north to finish the Chapter more quickly, or you can continue along with this walkthrough to finish all the Side Missions and gain more XP. The latter is recommended.
