Tips
- Kelley's 'Summon Guardian' move involves him summoning Raiken, which will dart forward. Blocking this attack is recommended unless you are at a significant distance, as it deals minor electrical damage and can inflict shock.
- Kelley's 'Grab Amrita' move occurs when you are out of Ki and close to him. He will grab you, steal half of your current Amrita, and deal damage. While the damage is moderate, the Amrita theft is severe.
- For 'The Silver Mine Writhes' mission, it is advisable to have antidotes on your shortcut bar due to the prevalence of poison.
- Using the air machines in 'The Silver Mine Writhes' temporarily clears poison from the area.
- Destroying the glowing green rock in 'The Silver Mine Writhes' stops the poison from spewing.
- Consider using headshots on Dwellers to prevent them from falling and becoming a problem.
