2222 Stealth Tips

2424 Being spotted by a patrol robot does not fail the chapter, but it triggers a brief combat skirmish that wastes time and pulls extra units into the entry path. Crouching in tall grass and using scan mode lets the player time patrol gaps without combat.

2626 Tag patrols with scan mode before crossing open ground; the tag persists for several seconds and shows facing direction.Crouch while moving between bushes; the robots cannot see through dense grass even at close range.If detected, finish the skirmish quickly and continue: the chapter does not punish combat, but the patrols respawn slowly enough that re-routing wastes more time than a clean fight.

2929  
3030 First-floor shelves are highlighted by the quest marker once the route is unlocked. The marked records list updates as items are collected. After the upper-floor lift sequence, the lower archive descent uses a single rotating mechanism puzzle; align the blue energy line directly through the conduits in order from outermost to innermost.

3232 Narrative Payoff
3333  
3434 The Forbidden Zone is the first sustained stealth segment in the launch main story and is the moment Chapter 4 reframes from cave pursuit into archive investigation. The recovered records are the first hard tie between Jixia Academy's modern operations and the Godpattern research arc that runs through the second half of the launch story.
