Explore the Subterranean City in Star Ocean: The Last Hope. Learn about Bacchus's skills, new enemies like the Armed Dragoon, and treasure locations.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After Bacchus joins, you obtain Weapon Data 064: Maser Cannon.
  2. 2
    To use Bacchus, open the Main Menu, select Characters, then Tactics. Choose Bacchus from Reserve Members and select a battle party member to switch him in for.
  3. 3
    Bacchus knows the Robotics Skill (increases Mechanical monster item drop rate), the Stealth Skill (allows you to move unseen past enemies and avoid encounters), and the Mining Skill (collect ore from Mining Points). He has Skill Points to raise these skills. If you found Skill Manual: Chain Combos on the Cardianon Mothership: B1, you can teach him this skill for multi-Art combos.
  4. 4
    Leave the room you were confined in on the east side of the Biological Laboratory: B1. Follow the hallway south to a dead end for a Treasure Chest. Find two more chests in the only other room on this floor.
  5. 5
    Take the northwest ramp up to the Biological Laboratory: 1F. Here you will find a Treasure Chest, a Recovery Point, and a Vending Machine.
  6. 6
    Examine the Vending Machine a second time to view a Private Action with Lymle and Bacchus.
  7. 7
    Opening the door from Biological Laboratory: 1F to Biological Laboratory: Entrance triggers five battles, the last four being ambushes.
  8. 8
    After the battles, collect the Cardianon Bow from a Chest. This weapon boosts Reimi's ATK and deals extra damage to Humanoid enemies.
  9. 9
    Return to the Recovery Point to restore HP/MP before exiting the Entrance area to the south.
  10. 10
    Follow the narrow, spiraling path up to the Control Tower. Enemies here are difficult to avoid.
  11. 11
    Defeating an Armed Dragon Newt on this path yields Weapon Data 133: Draconic Jamadhars.
  12. 12
    At intervals, you will be attacked by Cardianon military and bots on flying vessels. You will encounter your first Armed Dragoons. These mechanical enemies can shatter your Bonus Board if they enter Rush Mode.
  13. 13
    Find a Skill Manual "Rage" in the first Treasure Chest on the spiraling path. When set as a Battle Skill, Lymle has a greater chance to become enraged if an ally falls, increasing her ATK and INT.
  14. 14
    The Treasure Chest near the exit holds an Icicle Rapier for Faize, which requires the Fire Ring to dispel its barrier.
  15. 15
    Exit to the Control Tower.
