Guides - 9-4: Pursuit



Quest: Government Quest 9-4: Pursuit
Description: Track down Rupika and Leo Grahart.
Client: Principal
Reward: None
Prerequisites: Government Quest 9-3: Reality & Truth
Overview: The first part of this quest involves running through the fairly short Crater Northern route. While you are proceeding along this path, you will encounter Kireek. Talk to him and continue onward. You will have two choices for exiting the area. First, you can bribe the guard to let you through. However, if you've done the Sue/Bernie subplot, Sue will warp you to Crater Interior for free.

Crater Interior is a massive level filled with numerous enemies. As you progress through this area, the action will stop to play out a few scenes involving Rupika and Leo Grahart. Also, you will encounter Bernie and Ash. Be sure to talk to them. Additionally, beware of the guard asking for a bribe in Crater Interior. The information that he gives you will be revealed in subsequent quests. Once you clear the final room, talk to Karen and take the warp back to Pioneer 2.

NOTE: In Crater Interior, there is a guard that will ask you whether you have any Photon Drops. If you bring along some Photon Drops and have the Ragol Ring equipped, the guard will a few new lines of dialogue to say about Episode 4's backstory.
Maps

About These Maps
On the maps below, the path the player should take is denoted by a red line. Doors and laser fences that are opened by pressing a button are also marked. Please note that switches are represented with circles and fences/doors with ellipsoids. Colors are used to indicate which switch opens which door/fence. Doors/fences that are opened as a result of clearing the room of enemies are not marked. Since it would be impractical to label every single box, a green box is used to denote a group of boxes. Finally, traps, including damage, confuse, slow, and shock, are denoted using a generic Damage Trap icon. Like the box icon, a single trap icon may denote multple traps.
