Sector 03: Terra Dome - Soil Research Full Walkthrough and Details | Pragmata

A beach is found at The Cradle's Terra Dome! Even if it is only a recreation, Hugh and Diana take the time to enjoy the scenery. They then investigate the Soil Research block to search for the Underground Lim Regulator to set Eight free.

Main Objective: Help Eight.

AREA 04 - Soil Research

Speaking with Eight unlocks the Soil Research block. Use the Central Lift Escape Hatch to recharge at the Shelter or continue directly with the mission.

Current Sub-Objective: Find the Underground Lim Regulator.

Pass through another door to encounter a fork in the path. Collect an item first and turn left.

Point of Interest	Details
Safe Box 1	At the end of the right path, there is a Safe Box with a Cabin Coin inside.

Keep walking and head outside, where Hugh and Diana find a recreation of a beach.

Diana is fascinated by the artificial sea, while Hugh feels nostalgic for the real ocean near his home.

He tells Diana that everything will make sense when she sees the real thing. There, the two promise that Diana will return with Hugh to his home, Earth.

Once the cutscene is over, take some time to explore. Remove the Filament Mass nearby to discover a hidden room.

Point of Interest	Details
Training Data	Located in the right corner of the dark room. Additional data left over on a Training Simulation terminal. The data will be sent to the Shelter to be managed by Cabin.
Routine Check Report File	On top of a computer desk next to the Training Data.
Upgrade Component 1	Zipline back to the beach and check behind the large boulder for this item.

After collecting them, head inside the next area to progress.

As much as it annoys Hugh, another Locked Door blocks the way forward. A total of four locks must be disabled.

Point of Interest	Details
Red Panel 01	The first panel is found beside the Locked Door.
Red Panel 02	A second terminal is on the left side of the door. Be careful of the Watchers here.

Go through the tunnel afterward to reach a lab.

The third panel is close by, but watch out for a surprise attack from a new bot known as the Creeper!

No.	Tips on How to Defeat a Creeper
1	The new threat is camouflaged and may be difficult to spot. Observe closely to see its body slowly approaching Hugh and Diana.
2	Quickly shoot the enemy and dodge the grab attack to break its cloak. If they fail, Diana can save Hugh by completing a hacking sequence.
3	While it's still visible, make the time count and trap it using a Stasis Net. Fire on its weak point until it is defeated.

With the invisible robot now gone, Hugh and Diana can continue.

Point of Interest	Details
Red Panel 03	Hack the terminal in this lab once it is safe to do so.
Photon Laser	Go past the next door to see a new weapon by the elevator. A powerful Attack Unit that shoots a concentrated photon beam. Mobility is reduced while firing but its damage increases the longer the beam is sustained.

Only one lock remains before Hugh and Diana can open the door.

Use the Elevator to reach the upper area.

Expect a group of bots (1 Impeder and 2 Watchers) waiting up here.

Point of Interest	Details
Mini Cabin Buddy 1	Peek-a-boo! A small creature has been watching the whole fight from a tree branch. After defeating the three enemies, look to the side to find a Mini Cabin.

Turn right and head inside the room. There's a Bomber and Walker guarding the fourth terminal at the end of the hall.

All locks are disabled! The two of them can return downstairs after collecting a few more items.

Once ready, return to the unlocked door on the lower ground.

Continue ahead to the path previously blocked by the trees. In the next area, there will be a signal jammer and a Crusher MK-II.

The battle does not end there, as two Walkers and a Walker MK-II appear afterward.

Successfully defeating the group of enemies removes the Lockdown Mode.
