Tips
  • Enemies may continuously spawn in the opening area of the Research Sector, which can be exploited for farming Source and materials.
  • Use Evade frequently when facing snipers, as their shots deal significant damage.
  • Resonance spheres in the final firefight heal nearby Hiss; eliminate them first with Launch attacks.
  • The Astral Spike can damage you if it gets close; lure it into the chamber and seal it quickly.
