After using the Viper Drive, more enemies will come. Take them all out.

 

Inspect spheres

You now need to inspect 3 spheres for Rhys. The first one is shown below.

Get to the second sphere.

Inspect again and Rhys will complain that it’s too huge.

The final sphere is as shown in the map.

Inspect this one and Rhys will use it.

 

Follow Rhys-ball

Follow the Rhys-ball to the next area.

 

Clear the way

You’ll come across more enemies in the Observation Deck. Clear the way by killing them all.

Continue following the ball.

 

Destroy the servers

The next objective is to destroy the servers. The location is provided in the map.

As you get close to the servers, you’ll meet a stronger soldier. This one isn’t too tough as there aren’t other enemies to annoy you.

Once the area is secure, shoot at the corrosive barrels near the servers to destroy them.

 

Turn off firewall

Next, get to the computer to turn off the firewall.

 

Take elevator to control room

Go back to Rhys-ball. Follow him to the elevator.

Enter the elevator and press the button to use it.

 

Secure control room

Inside the control room, you’ll have a ‘mini-boss’ with many enemies waiting for you. Kill them all.

 

Fire laser

After securing the control room, you need to fire the laser at Katagawa’s ship. If you do so, you’ll be entering the boss fight.

So be prepared first.

 

There’ll be a cutscene where Katagawa Ball is introduced. He’s the boss for this chapter.

 

Defeat Katagawa Ball (boss)

This boss fight is pretty tough at first but once you’re used to the movements, it’s not too difficult.

It basically has three layers of shield, the yellow (first) one being the hardest to break.

Once you’re done with the first layer, the second health layer is slightly easier. The third one is so much easier that he’ll die in a couple of seconds.

Once you’ve broken through the first layer of health, it’ll be much easier.

The key is to avoid getting hit by his fireballs or lightning lasers.

One fireball is enough to melt your shield. Avoid them completely.

Use the obstacles around the map to prevent getting hit, and sneak in a few shots when he’s not firing.

After the two layers of health is gone, you’ll kill him in seconds.

 

Pick up the vault key fragment

Once the boss is dead, take the vault key fragment.

 

Give fragment to Tannis

Head back to Sanctuary to pass the key fragment to Tannis in her own lab.

 

Talk to Lilith

The mission completes after talking to Lilith.
