Walkthrough of Chapter 2 Call from the depths of the cavern in ZZZ

The second chapter will begin immediately after you complete the advanced training course in the mission "Path of the Proxy I", achieving the status of "Official Proxy", unlocking the drive disks for equipping agents and the "Old Place" in the Null Cavern, and then completing two story missions "Emergency 1-2" (rescue Belle from the subcavern).


After completing the mission, go outside and talk to the Shepherd at the Coffee Cafe to pick up the new story order “Things have gotten a little completely out of control.”

When you are ready to continue the story and officially begin the second chapter (only now it will appear in the diary), talk to your brother/sister. Go to the street corner and meet with the client Anton. Return to the parking lot and go to the construction site on Kazarok Street. Watch the video, after which, talk to Grace, Anton and Kolyada Belobog. From Grace you will receive the story order “Mechanical Love”, from Anton - “Let’s go, bro!”


When you complete both tasks, go upstairs and go to bed. After sleep, the Career Club will become available to you. Drive there by car and talk to Lila. Check out the Expert Challenge room's challenges. There are 5 bosses that you can fight for different rewards. During the battle, certain conditions will be imposed. Be sure to keep track of which elements bosses are vulnerable to, and choose your squad accordingly.

Each character has Inclinations, which can be seen in the “Skills” section. Each hero has a unique skill, which can be seen by clicking on the yellow-colored cassette above the ult. On the left there are 6 cells to enhance your inclinations. The first talent A is unlocked exclusively for Denny. So you can open it to all available agents! The following talents require advanced materials, which you can obtain in that same Expert Challenge.

When you're done, return to the store and talk to Wise/Belle. You will be able to receive three orders at once - the combat “Gaze of the Stars”, the research “Big Boom” and the urban “Furry Cares”. The "Gaze of the Stars" mission actually contains two combat missions: "Check Hidden Threats" and "Road Works". These are all additional missions.


Shiyu Defense

To continue the story, level up to reputation level 26. You will receive a message from Ray. Go to Scott Post and talk to the girl. You will learn about the new event “Defense of Shiyu”. Talk to Roland and interact with the highlighted area to trigger the event. Start the event and complete the first stable node. All that is required of you as part of this event is to deal with enemy waves within the allotted time. Naturally, in order to get the maximum reward, you should meet the minimum set time. So, for the first node it is 4 minutes.

For each line of defense there is a reward for ratings B, A, S. It is clear that if you immediately receive an S rating, you will automatically be given a reward for ratings A and B. So, for the 1st line of defense of a stable node you will receive:

  • S - 100 Polychromes, 200 Research Merits (used to trade with Casper, the “Association Supplies” section will open), 20,000 Denny
  • A - 100 Polychromes, 1 Amplifier Chip A (for crafting in a toy store), 15,000 Denny
  • B - 100 Polychromes, 5 Master discs for equalization (for initial installation in a drive disc music store), 10,000 Denny.

Whether you win or not, after leaving the Shiyu defense, talk to Roland. Next, you will be asked to level up further until you reach the 26th level of Internot.


Keep upgrading, soon you will receive the first two rally orders - Periphery metro transfer hub and Center metro transfer hub.


When you complete both orders, go to the Coffee Cafe on Sixth Street and talk to Venus to receive your overall reward.

Looking for a warm home

At some point (for me this happened after ordering a rally from Venus) in the second chapter, go out to Sixth Street and find Hannah near the Coffee Cafe. Talk to her and she will ask you to find her a trash can to live in. Go to the alley opposite the noodle shop and take a photo of the large trash can. Show the photo to Hannah to receive a reward:

  • 150 Internota points
  • 10 Polychromes
  • 2 Expert Journals
  • 1 amplifier energy module
  • 5000 Denny
  • 2 crystal coatings

Continue completing the missions and talk to Wise when the time comes to enter Hyper Focus. After corresponding with Ben, talk to Wise again. A new story order “In pursuit of the fugitive!” will begin.
