Completing the research mission “Things Got A Little Completely Out of Control” in ZZZ
How to Start the Quest
After completing ER 2 and watching TV with Belle, head outside to meet the Shepherd at the cafe. Chat with him to receive a new order. Now return to the video store, interact with the HDD system and find the corresponding task in the “Main Line”.
The game will advise you to take ice and ethereal characters of at least level 23, but we were able to complete this mission by the heroes of the 20th level. The main thing is to make sure that they have upgraded skills and equipment.
Clear building materials 1 and 2
Once you appear on the game board, go to the right and stand on the square with the monster. The test will begin. Deal with the first group of monsters, among which there will be observation mechanisms (hit them in the eye). Then go to the next room and destroy another group of ethereals. After this, you will return to the main field – stand in the observation area at the top.
As a result, you will unlock a new area ahead. Most of the objects will be blocked by obstacles (brick walls), so first stand on the “Z” square on the left and at the top to take on the first building material clearing. In this test you will simply need to destroy all the barrels, boxes, pallets and cans that come your way. Please note that there is an abundance of garbage here, so it is not necessary to destroy absolutely all supplies.
When you go back, you'll find a Banba with explosives on the right, who will clear the way for you. Go right to the second clearing area and start a new challenge. Here you'll have to destroy supplies again, but this time you'll also have to dodge lasers (red beams) and mortars (red circles on the ground).
Once you've completed the challenge, go downstairs to pick up the first data packet, then head right to the damaged banbu. Click the Transfer Plugins button several times to get the new Cross Blast ability. Thanks to it, you can now place bombs with the “R” key, which will explode after 5 of your moves, covering three cells in each vertical and horizontal row.
How to defeat Banboo Demoman
Next, you will need to destroy the infected Banboo by damaging him with explosions 6 times. To do this, you can use both your own bombs and enemy ones. Note that you can move explosives by pushing them in one direction or another. This way you can move the dynamite closer to the enemy.
The enemy will also try to place bombs near you. He also usually avoids the player, so he moves in the opposite direction. You can use this to your advantage – for example, corner the enemy, as shown in the picture below, and then place a bomb in front of him and prevent him from leaving the area.
Hide behind walls or stand diagonally towards the bombs to prevent your agents from taking damage during the explosion. Having dealt with the enemy, destroy the walls at the top left and bottom right to open access to the second data package and the golden suitcase.
Clear building materials 3
Now go back to the left and destroy the obstacles with bombs to open a passage to the third construction site. However, before you step onto square “Z”, pick up the third data pack below and the purple suitcase above, then blow up some more walls to collect two supply cases.
Then you can begin the final test. Here you have to destroy supplies and defeat Farbauti, who is vulnerable to Ice (you can freeze him) and Ether. Use perfect assist when you see golden halo attacks, or bounce and then counter.
Watch out for his combos – he'll start slamming the ground while heading in your direction. Try to immediately dash to the side to get out of his way, and then hit the monster on the back. Having dealt with the mini-boss and destroying all the garbage, you will complete the task.
If you followed our instructions, you will receive an “S” rating and deserve the maximum reward: 268 Internot credits, 60 polychromes, 17 thousand dennies and upgrade materials.
