Not to be Denied

First things first, after Barbarella gives you the rundown, head back to Level 4. From there, hop on the Elevator and go down to Level 6.

Your next objective is to open up the path to Core Lift 2. You'll need a specific hex, the one with three prongs, to unlock it. Once that's done, take the lift down to Level 7.

Now, you need to clear a path to the Chit-Chat Noir. This is where you'll find Barbarella's servant after you've completed the main objective. While you're here, know that you can also access Cranktown. Keep in mind you'll need yellow hexes to get into Cranktown and Crank Seminary.

You'll find a bollard blocking the way to the Silver Canyon, so we'll need to deal with that.

Before heading to the Silver Canyon, let's prepare for a fight. You'll encounter two Walker Lv 31 enemies. This battle introduces a new environment called Tundra, complete with falling snow and two bunkers close by on your left and right. These Walkers are surprisingly fast for their size and attack by bumping into you.

The quickest way to take them down is to send your Machine Gun (MG) character to the upper corner and have them fire Incendiary Rounds. This adds some extra damage on top of their regular attacks. Meanwhile, have your Hand Gun (HG) character move up the middle of the area and initiate a tri-attack with the MG. This combo should be enough to defeat one Walker and significantly damage the other. Watch out, as they might drop green energy hexes and a Junk Package 1, which is great for components.

Once the Walkers are down, place some plain hexes to create a path leading to the Silver Canyon. Activate this path using green hexes.

There's a Terminal nearby that's super useful to link to the Silver Canyon. Doing so will actually double any flame-based damage you deal in that area.

Now, you have a couple of options to power up the Silver Canyon with the necessary energy. You can either farm the surrounding enemies for green energy hexes (most humanoid enemies drop these, not just the Shady Thug) or use the more common orange hexes. If you go with orange hexes, place an Orange Energy Station on the nearest thoroughfare, which is right next to the Le Chit-Chat Noir, and link the Silver Canyon to it. If you choose this orange hex route, you'll also need to change the color of the Silver Canyon itself to transfer the energy effects.

With the path to the Silver Canyon cleared and powered up, make your way there and find the bottle of red wine.
