The party arrives in the bleak future year of 2300 A.D. to discover a group of starving refugees dwelling in the upper chambers. To help them, the heroes delve into the lower ruins past a robotic guardian to retrieve preserved food storage, where they discover a seed and access the mainframe computers. Viewing the computer records reveals visual playback of "The Day of Lavos," inspiring the team to alter history and avert the apocalypse.

Secrets

0/1

Catching the scurrying rat along the upper catwalks reveals the command to activate the consoles: hold the L and R buttons simultaneously and press A while interacting with the terminal to form a bridge across the gap.

Enemies

Guardian

The facility's primary security boss, flanked by two Bit drones that should be dismantled first to disable its lethal counterattacks.

Bit

Escort support units for the Guardian; defeating both temporarily forces the main unit into an idle countdown state.

Rat

Non-combative pests on the catwalks and ruins that can steal restorative Tonics upon contact.

Bug

Small patrol automata found roaming the lower sectors of the dome.

Bugger

Floating security monitors encountered wandering the corridors.

Proto 2

Upgraded robotic combat sentries patrolling the passages of the inner dome.

Shops and people

Merchant: Auto Gun, Iron Suit, Iron Helm, Tonic, Mid Tonic, Heal, Revive

Tips

Target the two Bit support pods first during the boss fight, because striking the Guardian while they are active triggers a punishing counterattack.
