ELEXⅡ

ELEX II | Subquest: Distributing Elex to Collectors

ELEX II quests are basically progressed by selecting the quest from the log and heading to the navigated location, but there are times when you get confused about how to proceed. I decided to introduce the quest because it was a confusing quest for me who touched ELEX for the first time. “Persons who have been playing since the first generation of ELEX may be able to proceed with the quests without any confusion.”

Once you get through the early stages, this work becomes interesting at once.

Basic knowledge of game progress

For those of you who have been familiar with the series since ELEX II like me, I will introduce a little about how to proceed with the quest.

In ELEX II, the Japanese translation is a bit awkward, making it difficult to understand how to proceed with the game itself. As with normal RPGs, there are main quests to advance the story and sub-quests that occur through conversations with NPCs, but if you do nothing, you will not be navigated to the map.

Therefore, it is vague where to go and what to do. If you don’t know how to proceed with ELEX, you won’t know what to do from the beginning.

In this work, it is no exaggeration to say that everything starts with opening the menu screen.

When you open the menu screen as shown in the image above, several items are displayed at the top of the screen. “Here, open the log.” Then, the accepted missions will appear on the left side of the screen, so move the cursor to the mission you want to proceed and click “Mark on the map” at the bottom right of the screen. “This will navigate you to the map, so you can proceed with the mission without hesitation.”

Subquests that are difficult to understand | Elex distribution to collectors

The sub-quest “Distribution of Elex to collectors” that we covered this time can be accepted by talking to the NPC Blacks in the base of the Alb forces. “The reason I picked it up is that it’s hard to understand how to carry out the contents of the order.”

As you can see in the image below, the request is to steal the surplus Erex rations from the storage! That’s what I’m talking about.

Information that is often overlooked

At the bottom right of the log screen, you should see the words “Show Dialog” alongside “Mark on Map”. By doing this, the conversations with NPCs in each quest will be displayed in chronological order, which can be very useful.

ELEX II seems to put a lot of emphasis on conversations with NPCs, and most of the quests involve very long conversations. “It’s impossible to remember every detail.” “Hints for quest progress are often hidden in conversations.”

If you double-check your conversation with Brax, you’ll find two keywords.

• Open the safe and bring the rations
• I’ll teach you how to open the safe

The unopened Elex rations are in the vault, and if you don’t know how to open the vault, they’ll tell you. I spent a lot of time walking around the map-navigated yellow area until I realized this.

In other words, finding 5 eligible safes and unlocking them electronically will give you 5 unopened Elex rations.

How to clear the quest

A level 2 hacking ability is required to open the safe. “The first thing you should do is learn Level 2 hacking.” “If your character level does not meet the requirements for learning hacking abilities, it will be impossible to clear the quest itself.”

There is a possibility that NPCs who can teach you how to hack exist in each faction base besides Blacks. “Even if it’s not around Albu, level up through other quests and battles, and learn from the nearest instructor before starting.”

Location of Blacks

As I mentioned earlier, the Blacks are at the eastern end of the Albu stronghold. “Here, I will guide you through the route to Blacks while looking at the images.”

If you go from the entrance to the Albu base, you will soon find a square.

Proceed to the right on the square.

Just walk straight between the buildings and you will arrive.

Blacks is the man standing in front of what looks like a container. After that, you can accept the quest by talking.

How to open an electronic safe

The procedure for opening an electronically locked safe is as follows.

1. interact with the vault
2. to hack
3. Since hints are displayed with > and <, guess input
4. The entered numbers are sorted by color, and the correct number array is narrowed down.
5. If you pass 4 input chances, return to step 1 again

We will explain each step in detail.

１．interact with the vault

When standing in front of a safe and interacting with it, you’ll see Hack at the bottom of the screen if you have the hacking ability.

２．to hack

Hacking launches something like a program and displays hints.

３．Since hints are displayed with > and <, guess input

In the image below, the leftmost number is smaller than the second number from the left, the third number from the left is greater than the second number from the left, and the rightmost number is greater than the third number from the left. . , so enter it by guess and select OK.

４．The entered numbers are sorted by color, and the correct number array is narrowed down.

Each time you enter a number by guessing and select OK, the entered number will be colored. “The meaning of this color is as follows.”

• Pink = unused numbers
• Yellow = used but input position is wrong
• green = correct

Each time you select OK, it will be displayed in chronological order, so you can derive the correct answer. “As you can see on the upper left of the screen, you have 4 chances.”

If you can’t get the correct answer in 4 times, you will return to step 1 again, but the correct number array will not change no matter how many times you fail, so it’s a good idea to write down the result of the third time.

Inside the vault is the desired unopened Elex.

location of safe

Now let me show you where to find the safe. “There are 5 safes to look for, but there are 4 in the building.” In a nutshell, there are two safes for ① and one for each of ② to ④.

① building

The building in ① is located on a raised piece of land on the left side of the base entrance, and is marked by a flowing lava-like object. The target safe is on the 2nd floor, so let’s go up on the left as soon as you enter the building.

There are 3 rooms on the 2nd floor, with 1 safe in each of the left and middle rooms. “You should be able to move on to hacking work without worrying about the public eye.”

② building

The building in ② is a research facility for potions in Alb. A safe is installed in the room to the left as soon as you enter the entrance. “There is also a safe in the room on the far left, but it is out of scope, so even if you interact with it, there will be no indication to hack it.”

③ building

The building in ③ is the guard quarters. “Of course, if you are found, you will definitely be attacked and killed instantly.” “The location of the safe is in the small room at the end of the entrance.” The image below is a scene in which they were about to break in and be attacked during the day.

change time zone

It’s difficult to enter during the day, so sleep in a nearby bed until midnight.

Even if it’s in the middle of the night while you’re asleep, you can find it if you break in normally. “I should be sleeping, but if I walk normally, I’ll find you.” “Invade while crouching and remain crouched throughout.”

The hacking of the safe ends without being discovered.

④ building

Again, just like the building in ③, hack while crouching. “There is a safe on the left side of the two buildings connected by a tight corridor.” “It’s the end of the entrance on the left.”

Report to Blacks and clear the quest

If you deliver 5 unopened Elex to Blacks, it will be cleared. “Experience +200 and 5x Elex, the reward itself is small.”

recurring beggar

While completing quests, you will often encounter beggars. “Erex will be requested, but if you accept this, the damage will be reduced.” “It seems that there is a direct proportional relationship between the amount of Erex handed over and the amount of damage reduction.”

It’s the so-called barometer of good guys and bad guys. I haven’t yet figured out how the effects of good and evil will be reflected in the game, so I can’t explain in detail.

That’s all for now. I’m glad if you can use it as a reference.
