SHAN 2

Main Quest / Sidequests

You're Shan, and you've decided to bring down GNCO — but how? To get a lead, talk to P.T., the brawl's loser. He'll request a drink from Pabst's [D]. You can sneak a cup away from The Old King and bring it to P.T., who will give you a free enhancement and some valuable information. You're looking for an illicit Blood+ lab in Zadig; leave Gruze by the south exit [H] and head into the Wastes.

TIPS: If you got the poster signed, bring it to the shopkeeper at the Furst's [F].

The Wastes are full of enemies who will chase you around and start fights. You can avoid them if you're quick, but if you have a lot of enemies on your tail you may end up fighting several successive battles, so be careful! If you're low on health or items, you can return to Gruze; there's also a rest stop in the Wastes, but it's more expensive than the Gruze Inn. Make your way east, then turn north, and you'll end up in Zadig.

TIPS: Most wastewalkers are looking for a fight, but some may just want to chat.

Once in Zadig, you can heal up at the Inn [D], buy and upgrade armor at the Furst's [A], and acquire weaponry at the Kincaid's [I]. When you're fully prepared, visit the Harmacy (and illicit Blood+ lab) [H] to follow your lead. You'll need to fight the GNCO soldier outside to get in, but he's a pushover.

TIPS: A little kid in Zadig will give you a water gun if you play with him. Using this gun in battle makes enemies wet, and very weak to electric attacks.

Inside the lab, talk to the Harmacist and see if you can "persuade" him into changing his business strategy. You'll find he has plans of his own, however: he's been charged by your murderous twin brother, Wyatt, to take you down and hold you captive! He'll knock you out, and when you awake, Wyatt will arrive and make his move.

TIPS: If you want to pursue Shan's sidquests, avoid the lab for the time being — it will lock you into the end of this chapter.

Boss Fight: Wyatt Oh

Wyatt has challenged you to a fight! Between his natal fire powers and his enhancements, he's not easy to defeat — but if you know what you're doing, you can hold your own. Defeat Wyatt, and you'll progress to the game's next chapter.

TIPS: Now is a great opportunity to use that water gun, and hit Wyatt with a well-timed Spark.

Main Quest / Sidequests

Sidequest: Bat Research
Inside the Gruze Inn [B] you can find a shady-looking scientist. If you've unlocked "Man With No Surname" through the SkillΣ menu, the scientist will have a task for you: defeat five UltraBats (a stronger variant of the common Waste Bat) and bring him their hides. These bats can be found all throughout the Wastes.

[-TOWN MAP-]
TIPS: Unlocking abilities through the SkillΣ menu will open up new dialogue options with some characters.

Sidequest: Subway Attack
If you head through the Wastes north of Zadig, you can take a train to Heisenburg. Usually the train rides are uneventful — this time, though, a gang of Seroiad cultists are staging a terror attack. You can't stop them from filling the train with noxious hallucinogenic gas, but you can take out the guy who's spreading his gospel in your car. Defeat him and make your way down the train.

TIPS: After you defeat the cultist, he'll do you a good turn and heal your injuries.

Sidequest: Subway Attack
In the next car, you'll find more cultists, trying their best to stop you from reaching the train's far end. Make a run for it through the train cars while dodging the oncoming Seroiads. When you reach the end, you'll find another acolyte to defeat before you can progress to the final car and scare the cultists off. After they're gone and the train's air clears, use the intercom to calm down the other passengers, then disembark. All in a day's work...

TIPS: Watch the way the Seroiads run through the cars — if you know their patterns, they're easier to dodge.
