There is one particular glitch you want to utilize in order to clear your inventory from useless stuff a bit faster. If you pick an Item and hold the left mouse button while you move the cursor towards the top right corner you can"lock" the item to the cursor and thus cause it to still be attached to it after exiting the inventory screen if you release the left mouse button immediately before clicking on the X. While it is not possible to increase your stats with that as it was in sonny 1 you can enter the next stage without dropping the item. This causes the item to disappear. In this guide I will refer to this as "dragging an item to the next stage". This works from both your inventory and the shop. But in both cases you will drop the item if a text box shows up after leaving the inventory screen.

[section=ZONE 1] Don't equip veradux (with the exception of the ZPCI rifle). The difference in stats is too small to justify the time loss from item management. Also, don't grab any loot unless it's stated else.
Stage 1: use destroy. Skip turn if he survives. grab loot.
Equip whatever you got. If you got leggins, enter shop and sell your start leggins. If you got gloves, equip it the way you prefer (as it doesn't matter then)
RESPEC! Depending on loot put either 6 (if you got gloves) or 7 (if you got leggins) points into speed, remainder into strength. Unlock Vicious Strike (1), Break (1) and Integrity (1). Equip Break 1x.
Stage 2: Destroy a random prison guard and hope for crit. If one guard survives with <46 health, skip turn, otherwise use leading strike on the healthiest one. Completely ignore loot.
LEVEL UP! (2) Skill strength, unlock Break (2).
Stage 3: set Veradux to relentless and destroy the agile convict (bottom one). If one of them survives, skip turn if he is below 47 health, otherwise use break on the healthiest one. Pick prison shirt if it drops. Pick prison trousers if you got gloves at stage 1.
LEVEL UP! (3) Skill strength. Equip loot over your inventory if you got something. Don't drag anything to the next stage as the text box will prevent you from doing so.
Stage 4: Set dux to relentless and destroy brutal convict (top). If you killed at least one foe, use break on cunning convict (bottom), if not, leading strike on the one that survived with more health, then break cunning convict. pick shirt or trousers if necessary, provided you don't have them yet.
LEVEL UP! (4) Skill strength, unlock Wound (1), Immobilize (1), Savagery (1), equip Immobilize 2x. Enter shop and get a prison shanker. If you got leggins stage 1 you will always have enough gold. If you got gloves, equip loot first and sell one of your old items. Don`t sell more than 1 item (not worth). Equip your stuff. If you have old items in your inventory, drag one of them to the next stage.
Stage 5: set dux to relentless and destroy a random prison guard. If doctor gets below 50 health, use break on the other guard, otherwise leading strike on doctor and then immobilize the remaining guard. If neither of them dies, use leading strike on the one that survived with more health and then immobilize the healthy guard. Watch out for gloves if you got leggins at stage 1. If you already got the gloves at the beginning, instead watch out for leggins but only if you didn`t get the other leggins (the difference in stats is too insignificant).
Enter shop and get metal's mask. (you always have enough money). Equip everything you have. You may drag an item to the next stage if you have some leftovers.
Stage 6: Set AI to relentless (might not be necessary but adds a little bit of safety), immobilize, break, immobilize. Hope it kills. If experiment survives, it is guaranteed to use either withdrawl or shadow blend. If it uses withdrawl, try to burst through the regeneration. if it uses shadow blend, you are probably screwed. Pick the weapon if it drops. I am actually not 100% positive if this is worth on average but the weapon definitely increases your damage and crit chance so it probably is ...
LEVEL UP! (5) Skill speed, unlock Savagery (2), Immobilize (2). (Skilling strength here might actually be better. This would require extended testing/calculations though and I don't have the motivation for that. Let's just say that skilling speed makes the earlygame a bit less frustrating,,,)
If you got the weapon, access your inventory from the levelup screen and equip it. Drag the pipe to the next stage.
Stage 7: Set dux to relentless. Immobilize, Immobilize, Break, Immobilize. If warden is at 50 health or less and death sentences sonny, skip your turn as it skips the delay from taking dot damage. (don`t know why it does, but it does). grab everything that drops.
Equip loot and drag one of your old items to the next stage.
Stage 8: Set dux to relentless. Leadinx strike on frankie, then spam immobilize on him. Don`t stun frankie as long as he has more than 187 health because he has skills with health costs. If dux struggles to kill doctor, just ignore it and continue attacking frankie. Get body wear (green) unless you got the warden's body wear. If weapon drops, equip it to sonny but you need to unequip the secondary first.
LEVEL UP! (6) Skill speed, unlock Predator Form (1). Equip Predator Form. If you got body wear, equip it over your body wear and drag your old body wear to the next stage. Otherwise just enter the next stage.
Stage 9: Set dux to relentless. if you are faster: immobilize, immobilize, break, immobilize. use break early if he enrages. if you are slower: Destroy, predator, immobilize, destroy. If he enrages turn 1 or 2, use break, otherwise ignore it.
The latter always works so you might stick to that. Dont know which one does more damage on average though... *get loot - you can
t equip it yet.*
if you got a rifle, equip it to dux and drag his old weapon to the next stage. Otherwise ignore your inventory.
Stage 10: Set dux to relentless. Destroy, Predator, Destroy, Leading Strike (this is not a mistake btw.). With the next attack you have to bring her as close as possible to 50% but not below. Use destroy if you can afford it, otherwise leading strike again. After that, use Immobilize+Break+Destroy. If she is below 35% she will probably shadow blend + a random move. Use leading strike, then spam immobilize until fight is over (or leading strike if you got silenced). If she uses serious business, you are in "serious" trouble... Get loot
In-depth explanation of felicity's AI
- As long as she never went below 50% she can only use blade shield and black metal.
- once she drops below 50% for the first time, she always want to use serious business ...
- ... unless she dropped below 35% at least once during the battle. If this happens she will stop trying to use serious business and instead spam shadow blend and slash on priority (or one of her other damaging moves except black metal if neither sb nor slash are usable).
- as long as she is below 50% she also can use garotte and gouge but that's not important.
So the idea is simple. bring her as close to 50% as possible and then stunlock her. This will completely skip serious business. One thing is kinda annoying though she has an equal chance to use either shadow blend or slash and you want her to use sb immediately after the stun wears out so that it lasts one turn less. She is almost guaranteed to not have enough focus for slash but it CAN happen that she uses slash before sb. In that case, go on with your rotation as usual aned hope that immobilize hits. [section=ZONE 2] Ignore the levelup (world map prevents levelup screen from showing up)
This is the zone with the most complex item-management. You generally want to follow a priority list. Generally your priorities are as follows:
Sonny: Baron > Knight > Mage > frost zombie (helmet + gauntlets only) > ZPCI - dont look for footwear and leggins. Veradux: Mage > Knight > Priest > Frost Zombie (helmet + gauntlets only) - you generally want either mixed or strength equip for him. Roald: same as sonny - but equipping him is hardly worth in this zone as he already has decent equipment. Sonny weapons: Runeblade (cult leader) > Frosted Fate (frost lord) > Persecution (warden) > Light's blade (knight) actually it
s Unholy runeblade >>>> all but you can`t equip it in zone 2 yet.
After respec mage equip outscales knight equip for sonny so you might go for mage instead so that you can equip knight/baron stuff to roald. Also, in this zone only, you want to loot everything that drops because you are going to shop twice in this zone and need extra money for that.
When entering the zone, go shop and equip zpci stuff. Also sell felicity's dagger. if you unequip something that is worth more than 10 gold, sell it, otherwise drag it to the next stage.
Stage 1: Immobilize, Break, Immobilize. get loot but don`t equip it yet.
Stage 2: skip turn
LEVEL UP! (8) Skill speed. Unlock Agile Exposure (1), equip Agile Exposure 2x. If you got helmet or gloves from frost zombie, equip it to sonny, if you got anything else (except weapon), equip it to dux instead. Again, if you unequip/have stuff rthat is worth less than 11 gold, drag it to the next stage.
Stage 3: set AI to relentless. Agile exposure on the top zombie (because allies will always attack this one). If zombie gets below 400 life, use leading strike, otherwise use immobilize. Spam agile exposure on bottom zombie (again, finish with leading strike if possible). If zombie lord outspeeds you, use agile exposure, then immobilize. They do good damage so if you get too low, set dux on phalanx until you are out of danger. If you run out of focus, use predator and alterate between agile exposure and destroy.
Stage 4: Spam agile exposure. You may finish with immobilize. watch out for pally weapon if you don`t have something decent yet.
LEVEL UP! (9) Skill speed. Unlock Agile Exposure (2). Enter shop and sell everything that dropped in zone 2 that you don't need. Get faith runners + Hope's strength and equip both to sonny. Equip drops to the respective characters. If you equip something over an low-level item, do this last and drag the old item to the next stage.
Stage 5: Set AI to relentless. use agile exposure on the priest. If he heals back to full AND gets shielded, AI will switch to knight - do the same in this case. Otherwise, attack the priest and hope he dies fast. If possible, finish with leading strike. Then spam agile exposure on knight. watch out for pally weapon if you don`t have something decent yet. Also, you can't equip priest's equipment yet (except roald but lol priest!roald).
Stage 6: Set AI to relentless, Agile exposure, Immobilize, Break, Immobilize. he can troll you in different ways so you might have to make up backup-strategies.
- Watch out for weapon. You can't equip it yet though.*
Stage 7: Set AI to relentless, AE on mage. if he is healed back to (almost) full health AND gets shielded, switch to priest. If mage heals back to full, focus on him regardless of your allies. Keep on spamming AE until everything is dead.
LEVEL UP! (10) Skill speed until you get to 65 (factor in drops if possible), put the remainder in strength. Unlock Agile Exposure (3). If you got level 10 loot during the previous fights, equip it now.
Stage 8: same strategy (except that you should outspeed roald now which makes the fight faster on average).
Stage 9: agile exposure, predator form. Set Roald to relentless. Agile Exposure x2, Destroy. If it doesn`t kill, leader will use retrograde again which wastes time... Hope for runeblade because it is one badass weapon.
LEVEL UP! (11) Unlock disrupt (1,2), equip disrupt 3 times over immobilize, immobilize and destroy. You don`t need stat points so skip that. Enter your inventory and equip whatever dropped. Also, disband both veradux and roald.
Stage 10: Disrupt, Agile Exposure, Disrupt, Agile Exposure, (Disrupt, Disrupt, skip). I will explain this fight in-depth at the end of the section. say your mantra and pray for unholy runeblade.
RESPEC! Skill speed (you may mash the left mouse button with both hands to increase speed). Unlock in order: Sharp senses (1), shadow blend (1,2), savagery (1), predator form (1), agile exposure (1), slash (1), corrosion (1), envenom (1), infect (1), withdrawal (1,2,3,4). Equip slash x1, predator form (x1), withdrawal (x1) (scroll down) agile exposure x2, shadow blend x1, you may unequip destroy here if it suits your arrangement as you won't need it anymore. Don't shop yet.
Stage 11: skip turn (don`t hold space before text appears as this may freeze the game!)
Enter shop and sell items until you get to 657 gold (you may sell your leggins as well unless you want to give it to dux). Also, equip loot to sonny and sell old items if they are valuable. Get X5C8-4 and X5C8-5 (leggins and footwear) and equip them to sonny. then go on and equip everyone. This is the last time you are going to sell something. So from now on you will again only take loot that you actually want to equip. Also, whenever you unequip an old item that you don't need anymore, drag it to the next stage.
Don't forget to get dux and roald back into your team (this may swap their order). If your time is really good, you may save before entering the next fight but it's hardly worth it.
Stage 12: Set AI to relentless, shadow blend, withdrawal on the healthy hound. Slash the weakened hound (unless your teammates somehow got him in kill range, then you may slash the zpci instead.). Use agile exposure on ZPCI as many times as you can - leading strike if too low focus. ignore loot.
Stage 13: Set AI to relentless. If hunt uses anesthetic (green debuff) on you, use predator+shadow blend+agile exposure+withdrawal on hunt, otherwise skip predator. If hunt shields himself, it will waste like a minute + so unless you have a god time it basically means run over. he can drop a lot of stuff - many items are just slightly better than earlier items, but they may be worth it if you still need gear for that slot. Rifle is strong on both Sonny and Roald but not stronger than Runeblade.
So what is that Baron-strategy about:
To make this short: Baron AI is kinda glitched if you enter the fight alone. Some of the spells are actually used on himself instead of sonny if you don`t have allies. This includes the first instances of "tic toc doc" and "echoed screams baron". In essence that means that baron will completely wreck himself if you do it correctly. So in order to make full use of this behavior, you do as follows:
- you use disrupt on him to force deep burns.
- as deep burns has a one turn cooldown, you use agile exposure after he used it.
- baron will then probably attack himself (one spell is targeted at you but it's the weakest .. should be uncertainty). If he uses tic-toc dock, you will defeat him in 4 turns.
- disrupt again.
- use AE again. if he uses tic toc doc now, you can skip the next turn because he then will die (unless you missed agile exposure) If you get unlucky he can live on for a few turns. In that case drain him a few more times until he activates holy scars. This will instantly kill him. Btw. The game softlocks if he misses himself with dark echoes baron. You can still soft-reset the game though. Luckily, it`s not that likely to happen. [section=ZONE 3] From now on the battles are much easier to control - basically: if you get up to this point and your time is good, you have a run. Item management becomes much more specific from this point, so it's probably easier to explain it on a stage-by-stage basis. Once you unequip Roald's weapon, you may give it to Sonny depending on your gear. Also, whenever you unequip items, drag the last one to the next stage. You will need the inventory space.
Generally speaking, Roald and Veradux want the same stuff but Roald's average scaling is higher so equip him first. The only exception is "hybrid" gear with both strength and instinct which benefits Veradux more.
World map prevents levelup screen from showing up, so you need to do this manually. Also, from now on you will always skill Speed, so I will no longer mention this.
LEVEL UP! (12) Unlock Shadow Blend (3). Ignore your items for now.
Stage 1: Shadow Blend, Withdrawal watch out for Annihilation (Weapon/Roald) and Mirage Armor (Roald)
Enter shop and buy Runed Gloves for Roald. Equip stuff and drag the last unequipped item to the next stage. You may skip the buy if you still have the Pipe. Also, if you got the Rifle, you may need to unequip secondary weapons first.
Stage 2: Shadow Blend, Withdrawal on the weaker one, set AI to relentless, Slash, spam Agile Exposure. watch out for Annihilation, ignore everything else.
If you still have the pipe, you may get the Light Mace from shop now or after the next fight (depending on your gold), but only if you didn't get unholy runeblade.
Stage 3: Set AI to relentless, Shadow Blend, Withdrawal on healthier one, Slash on healthier one. watch out for Annihilation (Weapon - Sonny/Roald), Mirage/Emperors Armor (Roald) and Ornate Greaves (Footwear - Roald) - don't get the armor if you already got one of them
LEVEL UP! (13) Unlock Shadow Blend (4). Equip items, if you got Unholy Runeblade or Annihilation, equip it now (you may need to dispose secondary weapons first).
Stage 4: Shadow Blend, Withdrawal on top, Slash on bottom, set AI to relentless and spam Agile Exposure on mid. The fight is dangerous as you can die here and they can both stun and silence you ... Watch out for Ancient Katana (Sonny > Veradux/Roald) and Annihilation (Roald/Sonny) - if still using a one-handed weapon you may also take Demon Blade (Secondary). If you get both Katana and Annihilation, equip katana to Sonny and Annihilation to Roald.
Equip items.
Stage 5: Shadow Blend, Agile Exposure, Withdrawal Anything he drops is useful for both Sonny and Veradux, but Beard is definitely the better drop here.
Equip items.
Stage 6: Spam agile exposure and use predator if low on focus. Don't use shadow blend until you can kill him withdrawal or he will keep missing you which doesn't give him the debuffs. Just wait for the 250% damage increase and then try to kill him . also hope for the right combination because then he wrecks himself. Always keep in mind that Withdrawal will dispel the DoT. Very RNG-based fight. Anything he drops is useful for both Sonny and Veradux.
LEVEL UP! (14) Unlock Anesthetic (1), Toxicant Form (1), equip Toxicant Form over Destroy (if you didn`t unequip it yet). Equip items.
Stage 7: Shadow Blend, Withdrawal, (Smash). Hope for Bugo Hoss Toxedo (Bodywear - Sonny).
Equip items.
Stage 8: Set AI to relentless, Toxicant Form, Shadow Blend, Withdrawal bottom, Slash the healthier one, Agile Exposure on the healthier one. They drop items from earlier - get whatever you still need.
Equip items.
Stage 9: Strategy depends on Sonny's weapon:
- With Unholy Runeblade: Set AI to relentless, Toxicant Form, Shadow Blend, Agile Exposure, Withdrawal
- With Ancient Katana/Annihilation: Set AI to relentless, Predator Form, Toxicant Form, Shadow Blend, Agile Exposure, Withdrawal
- With any other weapon: Set AI to relentless, Agile Exposure, Predator Form, Toxicant Form, Shadow Blend, Agile Exposure, Withdrawal
If you dont have Unholy Runeblade, Roald needs to silence Clemons or you will die. Also, Withdrawal will always kill you. watch out for Dexterity of Clemons (Gloves - Sonny), Intensity of Clemons (Footwear - Sonny), Will of Clemons (Leggins - Roald), Sun Struck Horrors (Weapon - Roald/Sonny) and Shandor's Darkstaff (Weapon - Sonny) - don't give any weapon to Sonny if you got Unholy Runeblade. [section=ZONE 4] From now on, most of the items dropped can't be equipped right away, so you need to keep in mind which drops you got and when you can equip them. Also, there are much fewer useful items making the management easier overall. This allows me to display the slot-tiering for any item.

Don't get loot for Veradux anymore. It's not worth it. Weapons are the only exception here.
World map prevents levelup screen from showing up, so you need to do this manually. Ignore the levelup if your damage is high (Unholy Runeblade, Darkstaff + Dexterity, etc.) Also, remember that most items have a level requirement and that you can't equip them right away.
LEVEL UP! (15) Unlock Agile Exposure (2).
Stage 1: Shadow Blend, Agile Exposure, Withdrawal (skip Agile Exposure if on hig damage strats). notable loot: Toxic Clutch, Spark Leggins, Poseidon's Fury
Stage 2: Shadow Blend, Agile Exposure, Withdrawal. notable loot: Mask of Horror, Poseidon's Fury
Stage 3: Shadow Blend, Agile Exposure, Withdrawal (Agile Exposure only if your damage is bad) notable loot: Flower Shoes, Poseidon's Fury
LEVEL UP! (16) Unlock Agile Exposure (3). Veradux is still Level 15 so don't shop yet.
Stage 4: Shadow Blend, Agile Exposure, Withdrawal. (skip Agile Exposure if on high damage strats). notable loot: Mask of Horror, Flower Shoes, Poseidon's Fury
Enter Shop and get Burk's precision. Equip it to Sonny > Roald > Veradux, depending on your weapons. If you already have 3 good weapons, skip shop.
Stage 5: Shadow Blend, Withdrawal, Slash (he can stun so you don't want to use Agile Exposure here) notable loot: Toxic Clutch, Spark Leggins, Flower Shoes, Poseidon's Fury
Stage 6: make sure, any teammate with the wolf buff is set to relentless. If you get the buff, use Slash, Leading Strike x2, Shadow Blend, Agile Exposure, Withdrawal. If a teammate gets the buff, use Preadator Form, Toxicant Form, Shadow Blend, Agile Exposure, Withdrawal. During Shasow Blend, use Withdrawal + Slash instead if Mokoshotar has his stun ready (4 turn CD) because it can hit you in Shadow Blend. notable loot: Mask of Horror, White Jeans, Poseidon's Fury
LEVEL UP! (17) Unlock Integrity (1). If you didn't get Intensity of Clemons, enter shop and buy Dystopian Lightning for Sonny.
Stage 7: Shadow Blend, Withdrawal, (Slash) notable loot: Toxic Clutch, White Jeans, Spark Leggins, Poseidon's Fury
Stage 8: If he uses Peace and Love turn 1: skip, Shadow Blend, Agile Exposure, Withdrawal. Shadow Blend, Withdrawal, Slash otherwards. Spam Agile Exposure if he still lives. notable loot: Flamboyant Trousers, Flamboyant Shoes, White Jeans, Poseidon's Fury
Stage 9: (Hydra) Set AI to relentless, Shadow Blend, Agile Exposure on bottom claw, Slash on bottom claw, Agile Exposure on top claw. Finish Hydra with Predator Form, Toxicant Form, Shadow Blend, Agile Exposure, Withdrawal. When both fire claws are down, set AI to phalanx to prevent them damaging the Hydra (she can stun for a ridiculously long time when she gets <85%). Also, when damage racks up, you may temporarily set them to phalanx before the fire claws are down. notable loot: Emerald Death
LEVEL UP! (18) Unlock Savagery (2). Enter shop and get Black-Ops Uniform (Sonny), Acidic Vision (Roald) and DarkFiber Leggins (Roald) - you may skip the latter if he already has White Jeans. You can equip those items here but you can also wait until after the next stage - doesn't really matter.
Stage 10: skip cutscene (don`t hold space before text appears as this may freeze the game!) Grab one Mining Shirt (for Roald) and one Mining Helmet (for Sonny). If you got Mask of Horror, you may skip the Helmet (especially if you already got the Beard in Zone 3). Always grab the helmet if you are going to equip Poseidon's fury (you will need the additional health)
About Mokoshotar: The wolf buff he applies to you causes a flat 6000 increase in damage for 3 turns so it's more important that all 3 attacks hit than their actual damage. This is why you don't want to use agile exposure on him while the buff is active (fairly decent chance to miss as mokoshotar is pretty fast). Also, you don't want to be in shadow blend when he uses that attack because it can miss (which will lose you a total of 18.000 damage)
About The Hydra: The Claws are highly resistant to Shadow Damage but not to physical damage, thus Slash does considerably more damage to them than Withdrawal. Moreover, they are also very susceptible to lightning damage which is, why your mates can kill the other claw alone (dux electro can do >1000 damage). The Hydra on the other hand is not resistant to shadow damage so Withdrawal is effective against it. Also, when the Hydra falls below 85% health it can use Potent Toxin, a 4 turn stun that also does damage and reduces heal and damage taken. By setting the AI to phalanx the hydra should not be able to use it before you activate Shadow Blend and then it is likely to miss as it has an accuracy modifier of 1. [section=ZONE 5] Many drops in this zone can't be equipped until level 22+ which means Sonny won't be able to equip them at all (he won't hit level 22 until after the final stage). While Roald will hit level 22 a bit earlier it's no longer worth equipping him at this point. Felicity already joins with a full set of items but you may want to switch some items in order to adjust her health. Effectively, the only loot you are looking for is weapons and leggins. Everything else is either level 22+ (headwear, bodywear) or buyable (gloves, footwear). Also, you completely ignore loot after stage 11.

The item management for Felicity is a bit more specific and will be explained later. But in general you want to keep most of her items as they are already good. Don't equip Veradux - his time is almost over anyways.
Equip items.
Stage 1: Shadow Blend, Withdrawal, Slash if necessary. notable loot: Riot Leggins, Riot Gun
Stage 2: Set AI to relentless, Shadow Blend, Withdrawal on Hound, Slash, spam Agile Exposure. notable loot: Riot Leggins, Riot Gun
Stage 3: Set AI to relentless, Toxicant Form, Shadow Blend, Withdrawal on main target, Slash on remaining target, spam Agile Exposure. notable loot. Imperial War Helmet (for Felicity), Royal Leggins, Imperial Rifle
LEVEL UP! (19) Unlock Savagery (3) If Veradux has more health than Sonny, take items from him until he has less than Sonny. It's his last fight anyway.
Stage 4: Agile Exposure, Shadow Blend, Slash, Withdrawal, Agile Exposure x2, Toxicant Form, Shadow Blend, Slash. He may attack first - this doesn`'t change the strategy but it allows him to attack twice which is potentially dangerous. He has a 2-turn-stun which can be annoying. Also, he does quite a bit of damage. notable loot: Supremacy (Felicity), Colonel's Leggins
Stage 5: skip cutscene (don`t hold space before text appears as this may freeze the game!)
Swap Veradux with Felicity. If you got an Imperial War Helmet, equip it to her, if not, enter shop and buy her some Imperial Marchers. Also, if Supremacy dropped, equip it to her as well. You may equip both Helmet and Marchers to her but make sure Sonny still has more health than her. If you got Mask of Horror and/or Poseidon's Fury for Sonny, equip them now. Also, if you equip Poseidon's Fury you definitely want to equip the Mining Helmet or your maximum health will drop too low.
Stage 6: Set AI to relentless, Shadow Blend, If you have Unholy Runeblade or Poseidon's Fury, use withdrawal on healthy hound, otherwise on weakened hound. Slash the other hound, 2x Agile Exposure, Toxicant Form, Shadow Blend, Slash, Withdrawal. You may simply spam Agile Exposure instead depending on how well the fight goes. notable loot: Bite Proof Pants, Riot Gun
Stage 7: Set AI to relentless, Shadow Blend, if your mates silence/stun the android guard, slash it, otherwise use Withdrawal on the target with the lowest effective health (android guard shield strength is 3040), then use the other move, Agile Exposure x2, Toxicant Form, Shadow Blend, Slash, Withdrawal - spam Agile exposure if Android Guard was silenced/stunned. Very chaotic fight so you might have to improvise here. notable loot: Riot Leggins, Riot Gun
LEVEL UP! (20) Unlock Savagery (4)
Stage 8: Shadow Blend, Set AI on relentless. If Specialist uses defensive skill, use Agile Exposure + Withdrawal on him, otherwise kill him with Withdrawal and slash top guard. Agile Exposure x2, Toxicant Form, Shadow Blend, Slash, Withdrawal - if you used Agile Exposure + Withdrawal you need to use Agile Exposure x3 and then Predator instead of Toxicant. The Specialist can stun but has an 80% chance to target Felicity. notable loot. Bloody Leggins
Stage 9: skip cutscene (don`t hold space before text appears as this may freeze the game!)
Enter shop and get Royal Grips and Imperial Marchers for Roald. Also, equip useful loot to him.
