Walking through the quest Cat and Mouse Collaboration in ZZZ
How to start
To access the final chapter of the story, first complete the second chapter, “Cat Patrol”, and reach Internot level 28. Then open the story in the video archive.
Nekomata will come to you to talk about Olli and the gang member you caught. The latter cracked too easily and agreed to cooperate, and Nekomata finds this suspicious. Now Olli and the criminal go on reconnaissance, and you have to monitor the success of the operation.
Help Olli Apprehend the Bandits
Take the order and start fulfilling it using the HDD system.
It is worth taking heroes with physical and fire attributes from level 28 into the squad. Ice characters, on the contrary, will be less effective in battle. If the trial mode is active, Nekomata will join your team.
Once in the cavern, follow the only available path. Press the button so that Ollie and the criminal can pass.
Keep walking until the Ethereals appear on the horizon. Then press another button to block the passage.
Defeat two waves of enemies.
Go further, pick up the supplies and use the piston to get to the new road.
Collect the data packet and press the next button to open a shortcut for Ollie. Go forward, collecting sherlings along the way.
When you see enemies approaching Olli, use the piston and defeat 4 groups of bandits.
Ollie and the team will disappear somewhere. Before you go after them, collect supplies and surveillance data, and restore your health.
Ollie will be able to convince the bandits that he can give useful information and show them a place with ethereal materials. Before you go after them, collect the observation data – they are guarded by a cavern raider, but you can bribe him by giving him 2000 sherlings or defeat him in battle. Sherlings will no longer be useful to you in this quest, so we advise you not to waste time on fighting and pay.
Defeat 4 waves of enemies to progress.
Then collect supplies and explore the upper hidden cells with supplies and HP recovery.
Use piston to get closer to Ollie.
When the path is cut off, click the button to open a new road. Collect the Ether Drops and move on.
When Ollie leads the bandits to the Ethereals, go left and use the pistons to get right to them. Defeat 4 waves of enemies and watch an epic cutscene, after which Ollie will be saved and the quest will be completed.
