This quest is more popular to run RTA, however IGT is still an option.

Mission 1 : Spy Mission

Strategy: Hack both consoles.

• This step can be constantly repeated as long as you do not complete it. Simply Abort, return to the Codex, Cancel Active Quest in the bottom right, and restart The Second Dream.
• The countdown to failure for the first console is too slow and you will end up at extraction waiting for it to complete.

Mission 2 : Sentient Fragment

Strategy: Run to the objective, wait for the dialog until Interact appears, then proceed to extraction.

• The location to progress to the quest in second sharkwing area is always the same. It's a little tunnel on the left side of tile.

Mission 3: Stalk Stalker

Strategy: Complete the objectives.

• The void key will spawn in front of the portal (versus behind the console in older runs).
• After you interact with the console in front of the moon, run to the locked door and wait in front of it until it unlocks. Check videos around 7 minutes if confused.
• You can roll through the electricity fields to avoid minimal damage. Otherwise, you'll die.
• The pattern after the console hack is: closest > opposite corner > same side > opposite corner.
• Using a beam weapon such as Ignis can help if you have a hard time shooting the tubes.
• Pray for no elevator RNG and spin2win Conculyst.

Mission 4: Protect the Moon

Strategy: Complete the objectives.

• You do not need to fight the Stalker during this mission.
• Having a cloaking companion can mess with the security eye. It's highly recommended to not bring a Huras or Shade.
• Standing on one of the two closest platforms closest to the security eye spawn will guarantee one will be destroyed initially.
• Have the security eye aim at you from behind the pillar and offset yourself so the pathway hits the pillar from the side. Screenshot: [soon]
• The security eye does slash damage. Blocking with your melee can mitigate most of the damage it does.
• The bridge before the final door has a trigger. Take extra care not to miss this trigger or you'll lose time trying to make it up.
• Don't hug the final door while waiting for it to open, you'll bug into it and have to /unstuck.

Mission 5: Save the Reservoir

Strategy: Run to extraction.

• Overlay map can help for the bigger tiles. It'll take practice still for knowing where it actually leads you to.
• You do not need to kill any of the Conculysts/Battalysts and you are invincible when carrying your operator.
• A frame perfect trick called "Moon Walk" can be achieved by spamming the roll button right after the cinematic ends. This will allow your frame to shoot forward for a single roll and activate a weird looking walking bug.

Mission 6: Face Stalker

Strategy: Beat Stalker and then select options until completion.

• The Stalker is notorious for bugging out in some fashion. Please ensure moderators are aware of any bugs with him.
• Just tap your fire at the Stalker slashes.
• Choose the bottom options during the dialogue.
• If you're using keyboard/mouse, try not to move your cursor too much, so you stay hovered over an option.
• Use Owl voice to significantly shave a couple seconds off your time.
