Mission Prerequisites
Mission Walkthrough
This is simultaneously one of the easiest and hardest missions in the game. The Director General has a special mission for Team Elma—one that requires tactics and espionage—but not much action. Two out of three isn’t bad? This affinity mission is a requirement for Chapter 9.
New Heart-to-Heart Mission: Spy Games
Gather information on the Ganglion by infiltrating their fortress. As it is advisable to avoid conflict, you should choose a route with few enemies.
Objective 1
Return to the BLADE barracks and prepare.
Head to the barracks and you are confronted by Nagi, who gives you his own briefing—and a suggested point of infiltration—before letting you move out.
Objective 2
Infiltrate Oblivia’s Jair Fortress and obtain information.
Jair Fortress will be dangerous for players taking this mission on; the forces there are level 50 or higher! Don’t be afraid to fast-travel back to the top of the fortress if you think you might get discovered.
From the top of the fast-travel point, turn south and drop to the level below. From there, continue south across a relatively quiet plain, then west until you get to a structure. The Follow Ball can and will actually plot a good path for you once you’re on this plain.
Once inside, Lin works her hacking mojo, and you are attacked.
Objective 3
Defeat three Marnucks.
Marnuck x3
Lv. 30: Enemy
The good news is that these Marnucks aren’t level 50. They are, however, level 30, meaning you’ve got your work cut out for you. Still, you can handle them like any other Ganglion troopers. Hit them hard at the back and sides, and concentrate fire if you want to whittle their firepower easily.
Objective 4
Report back to Director General Chausson inside BLADE Tower.
Save yourself the grief of escaping the fortress on foot, and just fast-travel back.
