Alright, let's dive into Ruins Site East (2). This section is pretty straightforward, mostly focusing on a boss fight, so don't stress too much about it.

Walkthrough

1
Room 1 - Red: As soon as you enter, you'll be up against two Frag Dwellests (Level 36) and two Gang Hounds (Level 17). These guys are pretty easy to handle, so just take them out quickly. Once they're down, you'll move into the next room.
2
Room 2 - Green: This is where the main event is. You'll find yourself facing the Vibrant Tar Man (Level 100). Before you engage, take a look around. There's an L-shaped bunker and a box to your left, and another single bunker and box to your right. These will be your cover. The Tar Man is waiting at the back of the area.

Tips

Fire Protection is Key: The Vibrant Tar Man loves fire attacks. Make sure you've got some fire protection equipped, maybe the Heat Protector you might have just gotten. Its fire ball attack can hit for around 800-1000 damage and will leave you burning, so being prepared is crucial.
Gauge Breaking: Use boosted rounds and grenades to break the Tar Man's gauges. This is your best bet for dealing significant damage and potentially staggering it.
Watch Your Range: Don't get too close to the Tar Man, as it has a powerful melee attack. Also, don't try to run through it or jump over it; it's just asking for trouble.
Part Destruction: Focus on destroying all of its parts. This not only helps in defeating it but also yields useful scrap.
Potential Drops: You might get a Scrapped Eater TAR2 from this boss. This weapon is important because it can be dismantled for Armanium, which you'll need for a mission in the next chapter. It also drops Sterile Plating, a component for toxic accessories, so grab that if you can.
No Need for Escape Hex: Don't bother using an Escape Hex here; there are no more enemies left in the first room to worry about.

Once you've dealt with the Vibrant Tar Man, head back to Ebel City. You'll need to give the item you acquired to Miranda to complete the mission. Good job, you've cleared this area!
