Strategy flowchart

This is a simple flowchart to complete the process. The yellow hatched parts are flows that are not related to clearing. (However, most of this work is yellow. The flow goes around all the locations and bounties.)
1 Start from "Riorad Town".
2 Exit "Riorad", enter the southern cave, and complete the steps in the following order.
  1. Fight and defeat "Bionic Pochi" on B3F.
  2. Obtain the tank "Mosquito" in the back.
  3. Search for nearby computers and select ``OPEN''. A shortcut will open, so take it and go outside. (Shortcuts are optional)
3 Speak to your father in "Riorado" and select "Retire" and select "Yes" four times. In this work, you can declare your retirement as soon as you get the tank, and you can reach the ending. At this point, the adventure is half-finished, so the "normal ending" is somewhat disappointing.
4 Enter the northern cave from "Riorad" and defeat the "Salmonella Family x 4" that randomly encounters on B4F.
[Bounty 1] Salmonella Family x 4: HP 60/Performs a normal attack or a meaningless action. You can kill it with 2 or 3 shots from the main gun. I want to leave at least 12 main guns in the tank.
5 Enter the northern checkpoint from "Riorad", ask the man near the table to open the checkpoint, and proceed forward. If you have not obtained a mosquito tank, you will not be able to open the checkpoint.
6 Gather information at "Negi no Machi" located at 4 o'clock from the checkpoint. If you search the potato field, you will get a ``wedding ring'', and if you give the ring to a woman in a private house, you will get a ``ruby lens''. (You will have a chance to use it much later. Until then, it is best to leave it in Riorad's trunk room.)
7 Arrived at the inn on the south coast from "Leek Town".
8 Leave the inn and arrive at "Trader Camp 1" located 1 square square in the desert to the west. Equipment etc. can be purchased. Trader camps exist all over the place.
9 Arrived at the southeast house from "Green Onion". You can stay for free. There is an old couple who lost their son in the war.
10 If you go southeast from "Negi" while detouring around the mountains, you will arrive at "Pobre Aupre Town". It is highly recommended to purchase the "Dog System" at a tank tool shop. (You can warp to the town you visited once as many times as you like)
11 Enter the south house from "Pobre Aupres" and proceed with the event, and a mechanic will join. The mechanics are weak and easy to defeat, so it's best to proceed in a tank for now.
12 Enter the east factory from "Pobre Aupres" and attack in the following order.
  1. Enter, get on the second conveyor belt, and go up the stairs to the 2nd floor. (You can't ride a tank on the belt, so I'll leave it there.)
  2. Speak to the president on the 3rd floor and select "Yes".
  3. Obtain the "Wild Buggy" on the 3rd floor (separate floor).
If you encounter "Dos Piranhas" on the way to the factory, running away is safe at this point. Please note that the Wild Buggy cannot be equipped with a main gun at this time.
13 Defeat "Dos Piranhas", a random encounter on the bridge west of the factory.
14 Go northeast from "Negi" and reach the bridge.Cross over, avoid the bombardment, and destroy the ``Big Cannon x2'' and move on. When you are bombarded, the screen will flash and your SP will decrease by 100. Because of this, there is a high probability that your SP will be zero before the boss. We recommend using tile packs in front of bosses.
Big Cannon x 2: HP 210/2 units and each attack twice. If you destroy the parts with armor-piercing bullets that can be purchased at Pobre Aupres, you can make it unattackable to some extent.
15 We arrived at the "house of an elderly couple" on the way. Collect information. You can hear stories about Big Cannon.
16 Enter the house along the way and you will arrive at "Isaac's Fountain". Collect information. If you come after going to Audrey, you can do some shopping.
17 Arrive at "Audrey Town (northwest side)" north of "Isaac's Spring". Enter the BAR, talk to the red-haired woman, and select "Yes" twice to battle "Delinquent Group x7". After defeating him, he joins the Soldier. Soldier is a character who excels in hand-to-hand combat. Engine modification is possible in Audrey (chassis modification is yet to come). When you talk to the Soldier, if your HP is low, he will say "sssh" and the event will not proceed.
18 Go to Port Slam (port) southeast from "Isaac's Spring" and take the following steps.
  1. Talk to "Yazoo" on the 2nd floor of the eastern building, check the chest of drawers in the next two rooms, and defeat "Tance Gon".
  2. Speak to "Yazoo" again and get the "Apartment Key".
  3. Use the key to enter the next room and get the "Lock Hacker" from the wooden box.
  4. Obtain "London Boots" and "486G" in the building in the northeast. (any)
  5. Obtain "614G, flame gun, tattoo sticker" at the warehouse in the west. (any)
  6. Purchase the tank "Tiger" in the southern building. (any)
In Port Slam (port), hand-to-hand combat is the main focus. The Rock Hacker itself is not necessary to clear the game, but getting it will expand your search range. Purchasing the tank "Tiger" requires a large amount of money. You can't really buy it at this point, so it's best to come later. (The amount is arbitrary, but the higher you make it, the easier it is to outbid.The lowest price is thought to be around 45,000G)
19 Going north from "Audrey", you will arrive at "Rocco's Town". Chassis modification possible. Also, the "smoke bombs" sold at the shell shop are useful in boss battles.
20 Defeat "Mad Muscle" in the back of "Invincible Hospital Ruins" northwest of "Rocco". After that, you can get the "van (tank)" left in the parking lot. Since tanks cannot enter the hospital, hand-to-hand combat ensues.
21 Go through the coastal cave northeast from "Rocco". The cave will not appear unless the tide is low.
If it was high tide, it would appear if you moved back about one screen.
22 Go west from the cave and you will arrive at a vending machine. There is a vending machine, but there is almost no value in using it.
23 Arrived at "Trader Camp 2" northwest of the cave. We don't sell anything particularly special.
24 Going towards 11 o'clock from the cave, you will arrive at "Frieza's Town". Take the elevator in the central building to the 2nd floor, then go down the slope to the 1st floor and defeat the "Mammoth Tank".
25 Leave "Freeza" and arrive at the "Supply Depot" in the northeast. There's nothing special to do, but you can get the ``105mm Cannon'' at the back of the slope.
26 Enter the northern cave from the "supply station" and collect information. You can listen to information about other caves.
27 Enter the southeast cave from the "Supply Depot" and excavate the items in the following order. (All react to metal detectors)
  1. Unearth "Wozniak II" on the 1st floor.
  2. Excavate "V24 Hulk" in the northwest of B2F.
  3. Unearth "Anzenmet", "Tile Pack 80", and "Panther (tank)" on B3F.
The Panther can become self-propelled by attaching the engines and C units that have been excavated one after another. It would be a good idea to tow the remaining tanks (vans) and leave them somewhere using the dog system.
28 From "Supply Depot", follow the road and arrive at "Corona Building". Conquer in the following order. (Cannot enter by tank)
  1. Talk to "Molina" on the 2nd floor and follow him.
  2. As you chase, "Molina" will jump into the hole. Follow further. (All choices have the same result)
  3. Operate the computer in the room you jumped into and select "ON" to enable the elevator.
  4. Speak to "Tsumaku" on the 21st floor, follow him and select "Yes". After the event occurs, you can go to the other side.
There are no encounters inside Corona Building. If you go up the stairs of the building without chasing Molina who jumps into the hole, you can get "About 1500G, Kinnobebo, Gas Mask" from the wooden box. (Please note that you will not be able to enter this building after conquering it)
29 Arrive at "Il Migra Town" west of "Corona Building". Here you can modify the chassis and engine. It's a good idea to buy ear plugs for human use.
30 Leave "Il Migra" and arrive at "Town of Yuguet" in the southwest. This is not bookmarked. You can buy some powerful equipment. Defeating the later boss "Walgelyo" will change the appearance of the town, so it's good to enjoy the change.
31 Exit "Yuge" and enter the eastern dock, talk to the three people and fight "Wargelyo". After defeating it, if you board the ship, you will automatically cross to the other shore (pier).
32 Leave the pier and arrive at "Town of Sol" to the east. Enter the sewer in the northwest part of town and complete the steps in the following order.
  1. Turn it on in the control room along the way.
  2. Go back the way you came and get the ``Lens of Glasses'' from the wooden box where the water has subsided. (any)
  3. Defeat the "mutant crocodile" in the back.
  4. Go further and get the "Armored Vehicle (Tank)".
33 Arrive at "Trader Camp 3" southwest of the pier. Defeat the "Mr. Kamikaze" that will be randomly encountered near the rift that spreads slightly south of here.
34 From "Trader Camp 3", arrive at "Eden Town" southeast.
35 Enter the "Subway Ruins" southeast of "Eden" and complete the steps in the following order.
  1. On B2F, investigate the crack and fire to create a path.
  2. Randomly encounter and defeat "Mukaderon" here (B2F).
  3. Go further inside and exit to the ground.
36 Enter the "Radio Tower" immediately after exiting the "Subway Ruins" and conquer it in the following order.
  1. Collect the Marilyn doll in the basement. (There are encounters only underground)
  2. Give the Marilyn doll to the man on the 3rd floor and get the "Bulletproof Vest".
  3. Move the red doll on the 2nd floor to block the Dracula doll and climb the stairs.
  4. Use the elevator on the 4th floor to go to the 5th floor. Talk to the man and get the "BS Controller".
Parts 1 and 2 are the parts where you will be told information about the Dracula doll strategy, but if you know it, it is not necessary. BS controlAn item that displays a map when used.
37 If you leave "Eden" and go west along the mountain, you will arrive at "Trader Camp 4". We don't sell fancy things.
38 Go further up the mountain and enter the building, and after the event, talk to "Gomez" and a battle will begin. After defeating it, talk to Wolf and get "R Wolf (tank)".
39 Go northeast from Gomez's building and arrive at "Santa Poco Town". The "Burner Dragon" you can buy here is actually the strongest secondary gun. Please buy it.
40 Enter the northeast "garbage dump" (tanks cannot enter) from "Santa Poco" and fall on the conveyor belt to the bottom floor. Defeat the "Dust Franken" that randomly encounters.
41 Arrived at the vending machine in the 10 o'clock direction from "Santa Poco Town". There's only a vending machine.
42 Leave the vending machine and arrive at "Trader Camp 4" towards 7 o'clock. It's in a place like an oasis. We don't sell fancy things.
43 Leave "Trader Camp 4" and arrive at "Canabel Town" in the south.
44 Exit "Canabel" and enter "Ghost Base" northwest, and get "K Tiger (tank)" at the back. After that, go up the slope at the back and arrive at the "Yamikumo Research Institute". Talk to "Dr. Yamikumo". Talking to the doctor is likely to be a flag for future forest fire outbreaks. (Does this include talking to the townspeople of Canabel?)
45 A wildfire breaks out east of Canabelle. Use a "hydropod" next to the flame to extinguish it. Hydropods can be purchased at tool stores such as Santa Poco.
46 Enter the "burnt-out factory" that appears in the area where it has been digested, and complete it in the following order.
  1. Go to B1F using the slope in the northeast of 1F.
  2. Defeat the random encounter "Salmonella Honpo". (Encountered on the underground floor)
  3. From the point where the machine warns you on B1F, operate the computer to the west and select "OPEN" to proceed.
  4. Go down the slope in the northwestern part of B1F and get the "Camera Lens" from the wooden box. (any)
47 Defeat the "Rommel Ghost" that is randomly encountered around the rocky area shaped like a bird to the northwest after exiting "Santa Poco" do.
48 Arrive at "Hell Gate West Town" north of Toriiwa Bay. You can purchase the strongest class equipment such as "TNT Paranoia, High Polymer, Battle Knuckle".
49 Leave the town and arrive at the "Hell Gate (east side)" (bookmarks possible. Save and transfer are also possible). Next, enter the west side and defeat "Robopolis", examine the computer in the back and select "OPEN".
50 Exit "Hell Gate" and enter the northwest cave, then complete the following steps.
  1. Defeat the two "Bazooka Dogs" that will be encountered as symbols immediately after entering, and proceed.
  2. Open the iron grate in the northwest with a lock hacker and go down the slope ahead.
  3. An event occurs in the back. Defeat "Bad Valdez". (The choices are the same no matter which one you choose)

  1. Investigate the crack to the right of the front gate and fire the gun to enter.
  2. Collect the "Sun Lens" from the wooden box on the 1st floor and take the elevator to the 2nd floor.
