Depths: Provisional Government Center

The Depths: Provisional Government Center is a challenging optional area that offers valuable rewards and a glimpse into the past. This area is characterized by its tight corridors, multiple levels, and a high density of powerful Lost. Prepare for sustained combat and careful exploration.

Accessing the Depths

To access this Depth map, you'll need to acquire the Provisional Government Center Map. This key item is typically found in the main story area of the Provisional Government Outskirts, often dropped by a specific enemy or located in a well-hidden chest. Once obtained, return to your Home Base and speak with Davis to unlock the Depths entrance.

Walkthrough

Upon entering the Provisional Government Center Depths, you'll find yourself in a central hub with several branching paths. The layout can be disorienting, so proceed cautiously.

  • Initial Area & First Vestige: From the starting Mistle, head straight. You'll immediately encounter several Lost. Clear them out and look for a small alcove to your left to find the Provisional Government Center Vestige Part A.
  • Upper Levels & Sniper Perches: The Provisional Government Center features elevated platforms and walkways. Be wary of Lost snipers and ranged attackers positioned on these perches. Prioritize taking them out to avoid being overwhelmed. A good strategy is to use Gifts like "Voltaic Bracelet" or "Blast Bolt" to stun or knock them down from a distance.
  • Lower Levels & Heavy Resistance: Descending into the lower sections will often lead to encounters with heavier Lost, including axe-wielding brutes and armored variants. Consider using a Blood Veil with high defense or Gifts that grant damage reduction.
  • Finding Provisional Government Center Vestige Part B: Explore the eastern side of the map. You'll eventually come across a larger, open room with several pillars. The Provisional Government Center Vestige Part B is usually located behind one of these pillars or in a corner of this room, often guarded by a stronger Lost.
  • Unlocking Shortcuts: Keep an eye out for ladders and destructible walls. These often lead to shortcuts back to earlier sections or the Mistle, which are invaluable for resupplying or recovering after tough fights.
  • Provisional Government Center Vestige Part C & Final Mistle: The final Vestige part, Provisional Government Center Vestige Part C, is typically found near the end of the Depths, close to the final Mistle. This area is usually heavily guarded, so be prepared for a gauntlet of enemies.

Key Items and Notable Loot

  • Provisional Government Center Vestige Parts (A, B, C): These are crucial for unlocking new Gifts and understanding the lore of the area.
  • Queen Steel: A common drop from stronger Lost in this area, useful for upgrading weapons.
  • Awake MJ310: Found in chests, these are essential for leveling up your Blood Codes.
  • Ichor Concentrate: Scattered throughout, these restore a significant amount of Ichor.
  • Various Weapons and Blood Veils: Keep an eye out for weapon and Blood Veil drops from enemies. The Provisional Government Center can yield higher-tier equipment.

Enemy Strategies

  • Lost Snipers: Use cover, dodge their projectiles, and close the distance quickly. Gifts like "Shift" or "Hounds" can be very effective.
  • Axe-Wielding Lost: These enemies have wide, powerful swings. Dodge into their attacks to get behind them for backstabs, or parry their attacks if you're confident.
  • Armored Lost: Their high defense makes them resistant to light attacks. Use heavy attacks, charged attacks, or Gifts that break guard to deal significant damage.
  • Lost with Bayonets: These enemies can be tricky with their mix of melee and ranged attacks. Maintain distance when they're shooting, and engage in melee when they reload or get close.

The Provisional Government Center Depths is a test of endurance and combat prowess. Take your time, manage your resources, and use your companion effectively to overcome its challenges.
