Database Access

Learn how to access the database in Routine, find keycodes, print your ID, and use the C.A.T. tool to progress through Chapter 1: Birth.

After the initial cutscene, you'll start in your room. To unlock the door, you first need to print your ID. Approach your helmet on the wall and interact with it. Then, use the computer screen to the right. Navigate to the FORM tab to complete the basic movements tutorial. After that, go to the PRINT tab and select PRINT ID. The ID will print on the left side of the computer. You'll need to crouch (CTRL + Space) to pick it up from the floor.

With your ID, go to the computer beside the door and press OPEN DOOR. Leave your room and proceed towards the panoramic screen of the moon. To access the elevator, you'll need a password. Instead, go to Meeting Room A01 to the right of the panoramic screen, and then the second door on your right.

Inside the meeting room, collect the C.A.T. tool from the second table on the left. To power it, find batteries. Use the computer on the right side of the meeting room to open another door where you can find blue-colored batteries. Batteries can be found in recycling centers or underneath shelves by crouching.

Once you have a battery, use your C.A.T. tool (press R to view, then press the Wireless Access Point button) on the projection on the wall in the meeting room. This connects you to the screen, allowing you to save progress and view tasks. Go to the DATABASE page to find the elevator keycode, which is randomly generated for each player (example: 4832).

Return to the elevator and enter the keycode on the keypad. Press OPEN DOOR to enter the elevator, then press GATEWAY on the computer to access the next area. Upon exiting the elevator, proceed to the ASN terminal to the left. Listen to the voice recording and view the screen; an access code is needed to shut it down.

Go back towards the elevator and look right at the Tram Station. To override the gate, follow the cables from the gate to the electrical box on the wall above the note. Aim your C.A.T. tool (M2) and fire a pulse (M1) to open the gate. Enter the Tram Station and use the computer screen inside to select a location, such as the Mall.

At the Mall, go to the front desk and press the IC assistance button. Follow the droid to the computer and log in using your ID number (found on the front of your suit, example: 9601). Select your purpose (Business or Pleasure). An error will occur, prompting you to press the IC assistance button again and follow the IC bot to a different entrance. Climb down the ladder.

At the bottom of the ladder, walk straight to the Wireless Access Point. To the right of it, on the far wall, find a hatch with cables. Follow the cables to an electrical box, aim your C.A.T. tool (M2), and fire (M1) to open the hatch. Press CTRL to climb through.

Inside, a gate will close. Crouch and look under the Checkout desk for a red button. Press it, and a bot will break open the gate. Hide behind the desk as it does. Once the gate is open and the bot is clear, run left, then right towards Galaxy Video. Walk down the hall to the right of the Access Point (left side of Galaxy Video) to reach the security room. Read the note on the door; the meeting has moved to MEGAZONE.

To reach MEGAZONE, go back to the plant area before the video store, through Union Plaza, and towards the panel of screens. Take a left, then a right down the hall to an area with purple lighting. Go around the center planter and crouch (CTRL) under the shutters into MEGAZONE.

ACHIEVEMENT: In MEGAZONE, find a powered-on arcade machine (back row with Gunshow image) and interact with it (E/M1). Press the arrow prompts on screen to play the game and earn an achievement.
