To unlock this 1 player quest on Blue Burst, you must complete the following prerequisites on the same difficulty mode (Normal, Hard, Very Hard, Ultimate) that you plan to play Seat of the Heart on.

1. Complete up to Government Quest 8-1. That means taht you need to beat 7-5.

2. Make an online Episode 2 game and load the quest from under the VR section.

The Seat of the Heart can be found under the VR quest section at the Hunters Guild (Episode 1 or 2 game rooms). But before you can select this quest from the VR section, you must first complete a set of offline prerequisites.

Keep in mind that you must complete the following prerequisites on the same difficulty mode (Normal, Hard, Very Hard, Ultimate) that you plan to play Seat of the Heart on.

Offline prerequisites for this quest include the following:

1. Successfully complete VR Temple (Alpha & Beta) on Episode 2.
2. Successfully complete VR Spaceship (Alpha & Beta) on Episode 2.
3. Successfully complete CCA (Central Control Area) on Episode 2.
4. Unlock the Seabed area by defeating the Gal Gryphon at the CCA.

Do your best to protect the NPC and don't let them die.You have to keep them alive. If they die the quest will end. Some enemies have the ability to kill the NPC in one hit. Do not rely on the NPC's to help you.

Dying without a scape will also end the quest. There are many enviromental traps new and exclusive to this new quest. There are pillars or lights, fiery of explosions, luminous trails and different forms of lightning (one shocks, and one freezes). This all adds to the difficulty of the quest.

This quest is broken up into two halves. After you journey through Spaceship, you will have to defeat Gol Dragon. You will complete the first half of the quest at this point and be able to save.

This is a difficult quest, it is recommended that you are able to easily defeat the EP2 CCA level and beat the CCA area boss offline alone. Once you can easily do that, you are safe to attempt the online quest at the same difficulty level. Note that enemies are tougher online than they are offline. The NPC's that you will have to fight are also very difficult, especially on Ult mode.

You can get Elly or Kireek to join you in the fight. If you told Sue your name in the Dr Osto's Reseach quest offline, completed the Sue route/subplot and you have beaten Knowing One's Heart, you will have Kireek joining your team.

Quest Notes

• It is recommended that you do not attempt to play this quest until you can comfortably complete VR Temple - Seabed offline on the same difficulty mode you plan on playing Seat of the Heart on.
• This quest is divided into two parts. Part one consists of VR Temple - VR Spaceship (including battle with Gol Dragon). Part two consists of the Central Control Area - Central Control Tower.
• After completing the first part of the quest, you are given the opportunity to save your progress. If Elly or yourself are killed, you will then be able to start off from the beginning of part two.
• After successfully completing the quest, the save data that was created after part one will be erased.
• Del Lilly's use Megid on all four difficulty modes.
• Techniques Jellen & Zalure have no effect on Ultimate Gol Dragon.
• You cannot use Telepipes or Ryuker for the duration of both parts of the quest. You can only go back to Pioneer 2 after completion of part one.

• You can only get one Ragol Ring per difficulty (Normal, Hard, Very Hard, Ultimate).
• You must have one free space in your inventory (XX/30) to receive the Ragol Ring.

Elly's Episode 1 Costume

After the Ragol Ring has been obtained, you can replay the quest with Elly appearing in her Episode 1 costume. First, you must create a game using the same difficulty setting as the one you used to obtain the Ragol Ring. Once the quest has been loaded, you will be given two choices. If you select the first one, Elly will use her Episode 2 costume. The second choice corresponds to her Episode 1 outfit. Credit goes to S-T-H for spotting this trick.

Acquiring the Ragol Ring

If you follow a preset number of steps while playing the offline Hunters Guild quests, you can acquire a rare shield called the Ragol Ring during Seat of the Heart. Follow the below steps to acquire the ring.

1. Successfully complete VR Temple - CCA (including defeating the Gal Gryphon).

2. Complete the following Hunters Guild quests offline on the same difficulty you plan to play Seat of the Heart on:

6. Destroy only the correct computers/switches and complete the Control Tower. ( It's not necessary to defeat Epsilon). Refer to the maps below.

Once you get close enough to her location, an automatic conversation will start up between her and you. If you followed the above steps correctly, she'll reward you with the Ragol Ring.

Damaging Epsilon

To do damage to Epsilon, wait for the 4 shields/parts to move away from the center core. Then inflict damage to the center core. Trying to hurt him while the shields are not away from the core will not damage him.

Notes:

• Del Lily will spit out Megid on any difficulty setting.
• You cannot use Jellen and Zalure on the Gol Dragon in Ultimate mode.
• The quest will also save your data and progress after you beat Gol Dragon. This save point however does not work between different difficulty levels.
• You cannot use Ryuker or Telepipes.

NPC Level

Activate only the computers marked by the blue computer icons on the map. Leave the white computer icons alone, activating the wrong computers will result in more enemies that you will have to defeat to move further on. You can let Elly activate the computers to decrease enemy appearances.

• Floor 1: Center computer
• Floor 2: Last computer
• Floor 3: Third computer
• Floor 4: First Computer
• Floor 5: Fourth Computer

Computer plot:

• When all computers are hit: Epsilon appears
