S T O R Y M I S S I O N / S (4)

Make your way back to Level 5, Forest of Idols. You will encounter a bollard on Level 4 and more on Level 5, requiring one battle on Level 5.

Level 4: Closed Road - You will face six Outcast STG Lv 7 enemies. This area has two bunkers. You can fire through them or charge across the area to the far corners, starting with the MG (Machine Gun) and then the HG (Hand Gun), and perform a tri-attack. After this, mop up the remaining three enemies. These enemies drop a range of hexes, including pink ones.

Level 5 Closed Road - Three bollards block access to the Forest of Idols. Each bollard contains three Dwellest Lv 12 enemies. If the MG is equipped with the Flame Resistant Vest, they are somewhat protected from the Dwellest's flame grenades. Send the MG to one side of the area, run and jump to attack one enemy, and fully scratch it. The Dwellests will move towards the MG, and you cannot avoid an attack. Alternatively, with the HG, run to the far side and kill one enemy. Then, perform a tri-attack with the two RP (?). Starting with the MG should allow you to kill the other two Dwellests. Grenades are effective if you have enough to spare.

Once inside the Forest of Idols, enter the Open Air studio to meet Jean Paulet.
