MISSION: Cataclysm is a Challenge Quest.

Overview

MISSION: Cataclysm is a Challenge Quest with a total of five stages and two Interval Areas. Compared to other Challenge Quests, the rules are slightly different:

  • VR Energy does not deplete over time. VR Energy only depletes on death, but there is much less VR Energy to be found compared to other Challenge Quests.
  • Start with a preset loadout. At the start of the Quest, you are able to choose from one of twelve loadouts. Unlike other Challenge Quests, you do not pick up equipment or Disks randomly dropped on the field. Enemies do not drop anything.
  • Enemy spawns change on current VR Energy. The enemies that spawn in a given room are determined by how much VR Energy the party has upon entering.
Bonus Enemies

In the first four stages, a Rappy will spawn somewhere on the map. Defeating it unlocks the yellow fence at the end of each map, granting bonus rewards such as Grinders and Challenge Dolls. However, Rappies despawn if left alone too long, so they must be defeated at the first possible opportunity.

Unlock Switches

In the first four stages, an Unlock Switch will be present somewhere on the map. Like the Bonus Enemy, Unlock Switches deactivate one of the fences at the end of the stage and grant additional rewards. Unlike the Bonus Enemy, Unlock Switches do not go away, but are more out of the way, are not indicated on the map, and may require higher-than-usual jump power to reach. Unlock Switches are also typically located in close vicinity to the Bonus Enemy.

Class Set

At the start of the Quest, you may choose from one of twelve Class Sets, split into four roles. A player's current role is denoted by the ring surrounding the character. The four roles are as follows:

Attack sets focus on dishing out high amounts of damage in a short period of time, making them valuable for pushing through waves of enemies. Their defense and range is somewhat lacking, however.

Rush sets have the ability to double jump and use Complex Photon Arts, giving them a unique jack-of-all-trades role that is useful for managing field gimmicks and carrying the team.

Support sets use Techniques and have the ability to buff and heal allies, making them invaluable assets in a Quest where healing is otherwise rare. Access to Compound Techniques additionally allows them to push massive burst damage in a pinch.

Unique sets are Successor Classes with high power, mobility, and coverage that allow them to fulfill multiple roles at once. Unlike other sets, Unique sets start at Level 55 and cannot use non-Main Class weapons like the Challenger Class.

Interval Areas

Walkthrough

MISSION 1

Area Map
  • Bonus Enemy: C6. Located right behind the Codotta Idetta. Extremely difficult to miss.
  • Unlock Switch: C6. "Hidden" behind a wall in the room beyond the Rappy. Not very well hidden as the top of the device can be seen from behind its hiding spot. If you are targeting the Rappy, grab the Unlock Switch before regrouping with the party.

MISSION 2

Area Map
MapDarkerDen.png
  • Bonus Enemy: B2. Upon entering the Falz Arm's spawn area, take an immediate left to the room adjacent to it. The Rappy can be found on a steel platform in the back right of the room.
  • Unlock Switch: B2. Located directly opposite the Rappy in the same room. Can be grabbed first before the Rappy if you're confident, otherwise get the Rappy before the device.

MISSION 3

Area Map
MapLiliUQ.png
  • Bonus Enemy: B3. Upon entering the area, ignore the enemies and head north to find the Rappy. Defeating this Rappy is highly recommened as it is guarding a Challenge Doll at the end of the stage.
  • Unlock Switch: B3. Hidden behind a stack of containers on the left side of the area. Requires a double jump or otherwise enhanced method of elevation to reach.

MISSION 4

Area Map
UIMapCuentCastle.png
  • Bonus Enemy: F4. Upon entering the Citadel's first stratum via catapult, the Rappy will spawn in the upper right corner of the arena. Ignore the enemies and take it out first before rejoining the party.
  • Unlock Switch: D4. After taking the second catapult to the second stratum, immediately turn to your left. The Unlock Switch is waiting in the bottom left corner of the arena.

Based on the stage for the Emergency Quest The Crimson Castle Crusher. After exiting the waiting area, a timed E-Trial will start. 21 out of the 22 enemies in the area must be defeated within the time limit to claim an additional prize set at the end of the stage.

As in the Emergency Quest, progress forward on the ground level is impeded by barriers that require defeating three consecutive waves of enemies: a Fang Banther/Rockbear, a wave of Krabahdas/Dragonkin and a Zeshrydha/Quartz Dragon, and a Gigur Gunnegam/Guar Zigmorde. Simply push through the waves as fast as possible to claim two Grinder boxes and some Miles. A VR Capsule is also present right before the catapult.

Upon entering the first stratum, a wave of Jarmagles/Ventazaur and a Plosiorgles/Box Duvals. Take the opportunity to defeat the Rappy while in the room. Defeat this wave to unlock the second catapult as well as additional Grinders and Miles.

Entering the second stratum will spawn two Dark Emperappies/Emperappies and an Evolion Dragon/Vol Dragon. It is strongly recommended that at least one player pulls away the Emperappies from the Dragon, as its rolling attack is dangerously lethal and can one-shot players. Defeating all three foes enables access to an additional prize cache with Grinders and Miles while also spawning the 22nd enemy, a Gunne Kazuchi, which is not necessary to defeat but rewards a large sum of additional experience if defeated. Once all the E-Trial has ended and rewards are claimed, take the Telepipe to proceed to Interval Area 2.

MISSION 5

Area Map
UIMapMothershipShiva.png

Based on the Primordial Darkness Sodam arena in Primordial Glare from the Void. Like previous stages, the boss/bosses that can spawn here are based on the player's remaining VR Energy. However, special bosses can also appear under certain conditions.
