Tips
  • The Research Sector entrance area may have continuously spawning enemies, which can be beneficial for farming Source and materials.
  • Use Evade when facing snipers to avoid their powerful beam attacks.
  • Prioritize destroying the resonance spheres with Launch attacks as they heal nearby Hiss enemies.
  • The Astral Spike can damage you if it gets close; lure it into the chamber and escape before sealing it.
