Defend the Ark: Chapter Ii

After a fuse goes out, turn left, go downstairs, and wait for electricity to subside. Dash into the corridor and return the fuse to Perceptor. Move downstairs to the right of Perceptor.

A group of Cons will break through a door. Pick up the Dimensional Decimator. Once the Cons are through, deploy the bomb by pressing left on the D-pad.

Follow the path to recover the first Blueprint (BP 2-1) for the Photon Burst Rifle primary weapon.

Enter the store ahead to purchase and upgrade the Photon Burst Rifle. The rifle costs 1000 shards the first time. Upgrades include Tachyon Transmitter for 1400 shards (+50% move speed while in zoom mode), Ion Cartridge for 1800 shards (+ ammo in clip), Hyper Interlink for 3200 shards (+50% reload speed), and Photon Accelerator for 6000 shards (Auto-Fire, lowers time between bursts).

Exit the store and look up to find two vents to the left and right. Behind you, climb stairs to reach AR, and another set of stairs leads to cash. From here, dash jump into the left vent to find cash and C.L.U.T.C.H.

Move up to find Autos unlocking a door. Charge into the next open area and clear out all Cons. Use the Photon Rifle’s zoom ability and target explosive barrels for area damage. Watch out for grenadiers and rocket soldiers.

Explore the area for cash and ammo. Find a fuse and bring it to the fusebox on the opposite side of the room.

When the door unlocks, collect Audio Log (AL 2-5) and open two more ARs.

Move up, kill two Cons from high ground, and enter the store to restock. Pick up another Audio Log (AL 2-6) from the terminal. Consider purchasing the Rocket Cannon.

Step on an ion vent to move up, dash jump across the gap.

When a Leaper appears, it will knock Prime down. Load it with rockets. Destroying it before the second Auto is destroyed unlocks The Last Stand.

The Leaper has melee dash, melee combo, and groundslam attacks. Its back is vulnerable after a groundslam or melee dash.

Kill the next Leaper. Approach the ion vent controls, which require a fuse. Retrieve the fuse from the indicated location and activate the ion vents.

Move up until two Leapers appear. Escape to lower ground and defeat them, using LB to evade attacks.

Go to the artillery controls and flip the lever to activate the rocket system. Go through the newly opened door to your right.

You will return to a previous area on high ground. Clear the lower floor of Cons and a Marauder.

Use Prime’s special ability: press and hold RB for targeting beam, aim at the Marauder, and press A to confirm. Clear the remaining Cons by sniping from your position.

Unlock two more ARs, then move to where the Marauder was and proceed.

Board the elevator to go down, return to the engine room, and flip the lever. Restock at the store if needed.

Enter the flight deck and follow the path until it is blocked. Press X at the door on your left to find cash and tech, then open the door with the marker.

An Auto will be killed and drop a fuse. Drop down, destroy the grating, and pick up the Scatter Blaster. Destroy any of the three gratings leading into the center of the room. Engage the appearing shotgun troopers from close proximity with the Scatter Blaster.

On the bottom floor in the corner is the fusebox. Climb the stairs, pry open the door, take the right corridor, and use the ion vent.

Turn right, then left to face a locked door. To your right are stairs leading to the fuse. Get the fuse, return to the locked door, and find a small corridor with a grating you can destroy. Drop through to the lower floor and collect Audio Log (AL 2-7).

A door behind you opens into a storage room with ammo and a console showing a shipping manifest.

Turn back, drop through another grating, and install the fuse to collect the Chaos-Rift Combustor.

Move up and collect the second Audio Log.
