Underground City

Edit Page    Last Edit: 1 year 11 months ago

The first thing to note in the Underground City is that enemies as a general have high evasion here, so if you're not able to hit something at all, leave it be. Also, a lot of monsters start casting Wall here, so be careful with full screen magic attacks, they can hurt when bounced back on you. 

When you first get in the area, walk to the right and take the conveyor belt down. You'll be blocked by a door. Go back up the left hand side, hugging the left wall, and you'll enter a small area with a floor panel, step on it to open the door. 

In the next hallway there is a door, go in there to find a safe spot where you can upgrade weapons with Watts, have Krissie heal you, (no magic recovery though) and a soldier who gives you a hint to get through a later part of the area. "Red, Blue, Yellow, Green." Once you're done, go back outside and continue along the hallway to the right. 

In the next room there is a small ledge to the right you can't go up. Those are one way only, and will be present throughout the rest of the area. Continue to the left and through the door to get to another pair of conveyor belts.You'll go down one of the ledges you can't go back up and continue to the right. In this area you will see a floor panel above one of the ledges, that's your next goal.

Further to the right you will see two blocked doorways like before. By the second is a floor panel that opens the first one you passed. Step on it and continue. You will go into another room, fighting enemies along the way. When you get to another door that blocks your way, there are 4 panels in the middle of the room in a cross pattern. Step in the middle of all of them to open the door and continue on. 

You will go through another section with enemies in the hallways, and pass a couple of pools of water. You'll finally come to a room with four colored switches and another blocked door. You can go below the door and go into another room, but that loops you back to the beginning of the area with the impassable ledges and you would have to make your way back here the long way, so don't bother with it. Instead, hit the switches in the order that the soldier mentioned, and the doorway in the middle of the room will open.Follow that area to get to the switch you could see before, but not access. Step on it, drop down the path and then go through the newly opened door to the far right. 

The next room will have a few enemies and then open up to a subway station. Go into the open train door on the left. While moving through the train you'll pass a lot of Ghoules. These are much easier to hit than the last time you saw them, so kill them if you'd like. Continue through the train and exit it on the far right. Exiting the train, continue downward fighting enemies. You'll drop down two of the impassable ledges and go through a door, where you'll encounter the Scorpion Army once more. They have another robot for you to fight, Kettle Kin.


Kettle Kin is a pretty easy boss. He only has about 1200 hp, which is nothing at this point in the game. Hit him with a couple of physical attacks quickly though, because he casts Lucid Barrier early on in the fight, and then will continue to do so. This makes him invulnerable to physical attacks, so you'll have to kill him with magic. He has no elemental weakness, so use whatever you have at the highest level. He'll go down after just a few spells, and rewards you with a Bow's orb.

The Scorpion Army now believes you are the Mana Knight and leaves before they get hurt. You're now above ground again, in front of the palace. Now however, some of the water is gone, and there is a new doorway at the bottom of the sets of stairs. Feel free to take off with Flammie if you need to to restock on items or save, when you land at the Risen Continent now, the door will still be there. Go inside to continue.
