Chapter 1: Look for Clues

Welcome, Wanderer, to the vast and mysterious world of Aida! This guide will walk you through the initial steps of your journey, focusing on the crucial task of gathering clues to understand the unfolding events. Pay close attention to your surroundings and interact with everything; secrets often hide in plain sight.

1. Initial Investigation: Astra Shelter

Your first objective is to thoroughly investigate the immediate vicinity of Astra Shelter. This area holds vital information regarding the recent incident.

  • Speak with Shirli: After the initial cinematic, Shirli will be your primary contact. Follow her prompts and exhaust all dialogue options. She will provide the initial context for your mission.
  • Examine the Crashed Pod: Head directly to the wreckage of the pod you emerged from. Interact with the glowing prompt to gather the "Damaged Data Log". This item is crucial for piecing together what happened.
  • Locate the Supply Pod: Shirli will direct you to a nearby supply pod. Open it to acquire your first set of gear:
    • Starter Weapon: Varies based on initial character selection, but typically an SR weapon like the Thunderblight or Absolute Zero.
    • Basic Armor Set: Astra Guard Helmet, Astra Guard Body, Astra Guard Gauntlets, Astra Guard Leggings, Astra Guard Boots. Equip these immediately for improved defense.
    • Nutrient Paste (x3): Essential for early-game healing. Keep these on your quick-slot.

2. Searching for Survivors and Anomalies

With basic gear in hand, it's time to expand your search perimeter. The area around Astra Shelter is still dangerous, so be prepared for combat.

  • Follow the Energy Signature: Your minimap will display a faint energy signature leading northeast from the shelter. This indicates a potential anomaly or survivor.
  • Encounter with Aberrants: Along the path, you will encounter your first group of Aberrants. These are low-level enemies, but practice your combat mechanics:
    • Utilize your weapon's basic attacks and observe their attack patterns.
    • Experiment with dodging to trigger Phantasia, slowing down enemies and allowing for burst damage.
    • Remember to swap between your equipped weapons to build charge and unleash powerful discharge skills.
  • Investigate the Abandoned Camp: The energy signature will lead you to a small, abandoned camp. Look for the following clues:
    • Scattered Notes: On a overturned crate, you'll find "Survivor's Journal Page 1". This provides a chilling account of the initial disaster.
    • Broken Communication Device: Near the campfire, interact with the device. It's too damaged to repair, but it will update your quest log, indicating a need for a more robust communication method.

3. Reporting Back to Shirli

Once you've gathered the Damaged Data Log, the Basic Armor Set, and the Survivor's Journal Page 1, return to Shirli at Astra Shelter.

  • Dialogue Update: Present your findings to Shirli. She will analyze the data log and express concern over the journal entry.
  • New Objective: Shirli will then task you with finding a way to repair the communication network or locate a working device, initiating the next phase of your investigation.

Remember to always check your inventory for new items and equip them as needed. Don't hesitate to use your Nutrient Paste if your health drops during combat. The early game is all about learning the ropes and gathering essential resources!
