You will then need to move forward with her, solving small puzzles. If you have difficulty obtaining and completing this quest, then study our walkthrough.
Walkthrough of the mission “Related Not by Blood” in ZZZ
How to start the order “Blood is Thicker than Water”
Before you can access this task, you will need to meet a couple of conditions, namely:
- Raise the level of Internet to at least 26.
- Reach “Chapter 2: Sideshow” while completing the main storyline of the game.
- Complete the side quest “Pap-A Gets to Work”.
Once you've figured out the requirements, start carefully examining the area in front of your video rental store. One day, you should notice a Concerned Security Service employee opposite it – go up to her and talk to her. She'll tell you about her daughter who went missing in the cavern.
After that, OrdinaryLazy will contact you by phone. Chat with him to start the mission “Related Not by Blood” and take a new order. Now enter the video rental store, interact with the HDD system and find the desired order in Chapter 2. Note that the enemies in it, apparently, are randomly selected, so just take your most pumped up fighters.
Deal with the Ethereals and Find Liz
Immediately after the start of the order, the combat test will begin. As we noted above, opponents are selected randomly. We first had to fight the surveillance mechanisms. Having dealt with them, take the lift higher. We then engaged in a fight with the Wanted Tormentor, who is resistant to ice and has both melee and ranged attacks.
After dealing with all the enemies, go to the boxes indicated by the marker and find the robot car among them. As it turns out, it is that same Liz. The Security Service employee considers this robot to be her daughter. After finishing the conversation with it, you will return to the playing field.
Move forward with Liz
Here you will have to build your route correctly again so that Liz repeats it and picks up all the materials. Next, we will indicate in detail the optimal paths for collecting all the resources and avoiding dangerous cells – the fact is that some of them increase the level of infection.
The first puzzle
So, follow the route shown in the picture below to collect four coins and take the 1st observation data package.
Second Puzzle
In the second area, one cell on the right will be hidden. You need to go a little to the right first to see it. The whole route is shown in the image below. Beware of the telepause cells. You will collect 6 coins, 2 suitcases and the 2nd surveillance data package.
The third puzzle
As in the previous zone, try to avoid red and purple cells to avoid increasing the infection level. Here you can collect 3 coins, 1 purple briefcase and the 3rd surveillance data package.
Defeat the Ethereals
Next, the combat test will begin. Deal with a group of regular Ethereals, then get on the elevator and go up. Destroy a few more enemies. There may be elite enemies among them, so be careful.
This will end the order. If you followed our instructions, you will receive an “S” rating and the maximum reward: 30 polychromes, 418 Internet credits, 22 thousand denni and leveling materials.
Now exit the video rental store and approach the Anxious Security Officer. Listen to her conversation with Liz. This will end the quest.
