Boss Fight: Cousin Varren

The secret to this boss fight is to ignore Varren and climb the ladder to the second floor of the reactor, find the button on the second floor and push it. A wave of toxic nuclear waste will knock Varren back and de-activate his shield. When this happens, jump down and injure him as much as possible until his shield comes back. When it comes back, repeat the process of pushing the button and Varren can be beaten fairly quickly.

After defeating Varren a thrilling extended cutscene will play, it will end with you and Hope returning back to the surface of the prefecture.

3rd Fold – Wasteland

Before you can leave the area near the fold elevator, you have to talk to Hope, she’ll join your party and encourage you to head towards the former provisional government building. This level is very big and has an open-world feel, so do your best to explore and get a feel for the area. To get to the provisional government building, follow the road forward, then take a short right, then a left, and go forward again, its directly across from the fold elevator.

As you approach the provisional government building a cutscene will play, afterwards search nearby to find the Main Seal in an old wheelbarrow, pick it up and it should allow you to open the front door of the provisional government building. Inside, you’ll find some enemies and a note but your path forward will be blocked by another door requiring two seals.

Exit the provisional government and take a left and continue forward until you reach a large gate with a sign that says Maple Road. Near the gate there are two small buildings surrounded by cats, Seal 1 can be found in one of these small buildings, do your best to avoid unnecessary fights with the cats while you retrieve the seal.

Before leaving this area to find the next seal, search the area behind the building you found the seal in, there should be a path that leads to a damaged red shrine. There is an optional cutscene that can be viewed if you interact with candle on the shrine.

The second seal is on the other side of the level, near a mechanics shop, there is a ladder attached to the wall that can be used to get to a second floor. Go up the ladder to the 2nd floor and Seal 2 will be lying on a ledge. Pick up Seal 2 and return to the former provisional government building, you should now be able to access the second area of the building. Unlock the door using the seals and continue down the hallway to the end, enter the room at the end of the hallway to trigger a cutscene.

When you regain control, you’ll need to search the wasteland for 7 bike pieces and then assemble them in the mechanics shop. The closest bicycle piece is in some debris in front of the former provisional government buldling, you should see it as you exit. The next closest piece is on the second story of a destroyed building directly across from the 1st bicycle piece. Climb the ladder to the top and pick up Bicycle Piece #2, from this vantage point you should be able to see some of the other pieces. The next closest piece is behind a shop next to the destroyed building you’re on, it should be lying on the ground in the dirt. Next, search the area near the fold elevator, the 4th bicycle piece should be in some tangled metal.

After picking up the 4th piece, search the area covered with dead trees for a well, the 5th bicycle piece is inside. The 6th bicycle piece is hiding in a destroyed shard of a building in front of the area with strange human-like statues and Starfish enemies.

The final bicycle piece is near the mechanics shop, on the 2nd floor, accessible by the ladder you used to pick up Seal 2. Follow the path from the 2nd floor to the bicycle piece sitting on part of a destroyed wall. Now that you have all the pieces, enter the mechanics shop and interact with the box marked ‘Bike Parts’ to complete the bicycle. Now, walk to the Maple Road gate, and it will open and allow you to pass to the next area.

3rd Fold – Road To Boss

In this level you must ride the bicycle to the other end of Maple Road, where the army barracks are located. Since you can’t use any weapons while riding the bike, it’s best to just continue forward as fast as possible avoiding enemies you encounter.

Search the walls of the interior for another yellow mirror and interact with it, it will return you to the regular sized version of the emperor’s palace. Exit the small room then head back to the large room, use the white seal to enter the last blocked door, and continue to the second floor of the palace.
