Enemy Info[]
Gameplay Notes[]
- Every time the player enters a portal, they gain 40 Pressure.
- Entering an incorrect portal will take the player back to the starting point. If a beacon was interacted with, the player can teleport to that section of the Hollow via the starting portal.
- If the player takes too many moves, they will not be able to save Jeff or Little Beetroot.
- After entering the starting portal, the fastest route is: right, left, down, down, top-right, bottom-left, up (after defeating the enemy), right.
- The correct path can be inferenced by observing the "Bangboo shadows" next to the portals. Most will disappear if the player gets close; only the shadows next to correct portals will stay.
- Once the player reaches the second beacon, no more shadows will appear. Instead, the correct portal will be the one that has a sound coming from it ("Gurgle...").
- The Elite Enemy blocking the portal and the Boss Enemy will not appear if the player took too many moves.
- Purchasing the Treasure Radar is required to access the treasure area.[verification needed]
- The route to the treasure area is: down, left, up, right.
- The following corruptions may be inflicted while exploring: Energizing Effect, Stress Infection, Hardening Infection, Crystal Infection, and Sharpened Perception.
- During the commission, 2 achievements can be awarded:
- Saving Investigator Jeff in time awards the Hollow Exploration Guide achievement Get Up, Time for Work!.
- Saving Little Beetroot in time awards the Hollow Exploration Guide achievement Little Bangboo Hand-in-Hand.
Dialogue[]
- (Upon starting the commission)
- Fairy Rescue Service: "Master, the goal of this commission is to find Abigail and bring her out of the Hollow."
- Fairy Rescue Service: "Given the special status that Hollow investigators hold, I suggest you try not to attract too much attention."
- Keep a low profile and execute the mission quickly.
Let's move out!
- (After the event)
- Fairy: Attempting to locate the target...
- Fairy: Failed to locate; switching to backend and trying again at the lowest priority.
- Fairy: There are many uncertain variables in this part of the Hollow. Please proceed with caution
- (Interact with the Hollow Raider, first playthrough only)[verification needed]
- Fairy Rescue Service: "Hollow Raider detected ahead, but they are not the target of this rescue mission."
- Sneaky Hollow Raider: "Hey, wait up. Don't just ignore me!" The Hollow Raider sees you trying to avoid him and jogs over, waving at you.
- Sneaky Hollow Raider: "You're going in there? Really? I'm telling you, be careful — there's a Bangboo Ghost in there!"
- This guy sounds like he's trying to mess with you
- Tell me about the ghost, I'm an enthusiast!
- Sneaky Hollow Raider: "We felt this strange sensation of being watched as soon as we ventured into the Hollow. My squad said they saw the faint outline of a Bangboo Ghost! Then they stormed off towards it. We couldn't stop them, and then..."
- Sneaky Hollow Raider: "Then they suddenly disappeared! One by one, they were lured off by this Bangboo Ghost and disappeared. I tried my best to find another path out of here, but somehow I end up back here every time! It's freaky, man!"
- Sneaky Hollow Raider: "I give up. It's so scary being targeted by a Bangboo Ghost! It's a shame about this Treasure Radar I have here. It searches for valuable supplies throughout the Hollow. If someone wanted to pay 2000 Gear Coins, I'd be willing to part with it..."
- How did a ghost story turn into a sales pitch? Surely this is his real goal...
- [Note 1]2,000 Gear Coins, there you go!I don't have enough Gear Coins
- Sneaky Hollow Raider: "Alright... By the way, if you see the ghostly shape of a Bangboo off in the distance, try taking a closer look. I wouldn't dare myself... Who on earth knows what kind of trap it could be."
- Sneaky Hollow Raider: "It's a deal! Go ahead, the Treasure Radar is yours! I actually got it from an investigator. I don't know what it's really called, but who cares so long as it works!"
- Sneaky Hollow Raider: "Let me throw in some additional info as a freebie."
"Every step you take in this Hollow might trigger unforeseen occurrences — because it's haunted by a Bangboo Ghost..." - Sneaky Hollow Raider: "To save someone, take the fastest route. A step late changes everything! But you've delayed so much, it might be too late to save anyone."
- Looks like we'll have to head straight for the exit.
- I see.
- Sneaky Hollow Raider: "Great! You've bought some stuff and heard my intel. Now hurry off, I've got to go buy a... Um, no, I mean I've got to find a way out of here, too!"
- Hearing that story is rewarding enough for me. See ya!
- Sneaky Hollow Raider: "It's cool. Come back and see me once you've got enough money, I'll be waiting. I know you'll definitely be back." What did he mean by that? An uncomfortable and mysterious grin spreads across his face.
- Sneaky Hollow Raider: "By the way, if you see the ghostly shape of a Bangboo off in the distance, try taking a closer look. I wouldn't dare myself... Who on earth knows what kind of trap it could be."
- Ignore him and leave
- (Interact with the Hollow Raider, subsequent playthroughs)[verification needed]
- Fairy Rescue Service: "Hollow Raider detected ahead, but they are not the target of this rescue mission."
- Sneaky Hollow Raider: "Hey, wait up. Don't just ignore me!" The Hollow Raider sees you trying to avoid him and jogs over, waving at you.
- Speaker: "Why? You got something good to sell me?"
- Sneaky Hollow Raider: "That's right! I have a... Wait, how did you know? You must be a veteran in this trade..."
- Sneaky Hollow Raider: "Alright, I won't need to waste time telling you what this is then. Let's cut to the chase!"
- Sneaky Hollow Raider: "A Treasure Radar, 2000 Gear Coins, flat price. You know it's a steal!"
- Should we buy the Treasure Radar? Or should we go rescue people first?
- 2000 Gear Coins, there you go!
- Sneaky Hollow Raider: "By the way, here's a piece of advice for you: If you wanna save someone, take the fastest route. A step late changes everything!"
- Sorry, I need to deal with some emergency.
- (Interact with the portal)
- Fairy Rescue Service: "Master, an abnormally active spatial fissure has been detected near the entrance up ahead. We expect passing through the fissure will increase Pressure. Please prepare yourself."
- Gateway to Mystery: Passing through layers of twisted Ether, the depths of this Hollow conceal a mystery that eludes our instruments. Route projections show no anomalies, and everything looks normal.
- Everything looks fine, but my instincts are saying otherwise
- Go straight through the fissurePressure +40
- [Note 2]Pass straight through the fissure (new discovery if you have the Treasure Radar)Pressure +40
- [Note 3]Go to Beacon 1's signal in the depthsPressure +40
- [Note 3]Go to Beacon 2's signal in the depthsPressure +40
- Hold on, let's take another look around
Normal Exploration[]
- (Enter the fissure)
- (SiblingSibling): (Ah! Did something just run across?Ah! Did something just run across? /
Something just ran across! Am I seeing things...?Something just ran across! Am I seeing things...?)
- (Interact with the first note, optional)
- Fairy Rescue Service: "I've spotted a safety zone ahead. There's a good chance we'll find some clues about our rescue target there."
- A Light in the Dark: You find a page inside a booth. It's still new, as though it's only just been ripped out.
- There seem to be some notes written on it by an exploring investigator.
- Read it to better understand your surroundings
- The First Lamp: "Record 01"
- The First Lamp: "It's been an hour inside the Hollow already, and we're getting closer to the target coordinates."
- The First Lamp: "Our target is my old colleague Jeff, who has failed to provide the Association with his regular report for three days running now."
- The First Lamp: "I feel like there's some invisible force, like faint Bangboo projections that guide me near the depths' entrance. Likely an illusion from Ether distortions."
- This page seems to have useful info...
- Next page
- The First Lamp: "But in any case, I'm going to follow those faint Bangboo shapes. I've already tried plenty of times, catching up to the shadows is the only way to avoid getting magically whisked back to the start. If anyone ever comes by and reads this, you should try the same. That's all for now, Little Beetroot and I are heading out again!"
- What do you want to do?
- Read it again
- Keep pushing on...
- Don't read it. It's best to keep our nose out of investigator business
- (Interact with the first beacon)
- Fairy Rescue Service: "A functional beacon facility has been detected and is operating normally. It is advisable to decipher the beacon's code to facilitate quickly returning to this position in future operations."
- Beacon 1: Decryption of Beacon 1 complete. You can now get here more quickly the next time you enter the Hollow.
- Enjoy the recovery function while you're here!
- Recover all HP
- Leave
- (Interact with the second note, optional)
- Fairy Rescue Service: "I've spotted a safety zone ahead. There's a good chance we'll find some clues about our rescue target there."
- A Light in the Dark: You find a page inside a small box. It's still new, as though it's only just been ripped out.
- There seem to be some notes written on it by an exploring investigator.
- Read it to better understand your surroundings
- The Second Lamp: "Record 02"
- The Second Lamp: "It's been two hours inside the Hollow now, and this Hollow is far more complex than I thought."
- The Second Lamp: "The Ether distortion here is worse than before. The most obvious manifestation of this is... those Bangboo shadows that keep showing up, and not just in one place, but everywhere. Chasing them down just isn't working."
- The Second Lamp: "I can detect faint shadows with my mech and the naked eye. Close up, the fake shadows vanish. The last sentence seems odd, as if non-vanishing Bangboo shadows are real."
- This page seems to have useful info...
- Next page
- The Second Lamp: "But to me, it's true. That shadow that can guide me to the next level is my only trustworthy beacon. Well, that's it for now. Little Beetroot and I are pushing on."
- What should you do?
- Read it again
- Let's get going
- Don't read it. It's best to keep our nose out of investigator business
- (After entering a portal, if the player took too much time)[verification needed]
- Fairy: Master, a distress signal was briefly detected but has disconnected already.
- (Upon collecting 2000 Gear Coins)
- (SiblingSibling): (These Gear Coins should be enough to buy some things from that guy near the entrance!These Gear Coins should be enough to buy some things from that guy near the entrance! /
I remember... This is the Hollow Raider back at the entrance who asked for 2,000 Gear Coins...I remember... This is the Hollow Raider back at the entrance who asked for 2,000 Gear Coins...) - (SiblingSibling): Going back intentionally will easily take you back to the entrance.
- (After buying the Treasure Radar)
- Sneaky Hollow Raider: Go to the spatial fissure near the entrance and use the treasure radar!
- (Enter a portal after buying the Treasure Radar — will show in order)
- Fairy: The treasure radar shows an image pointing down.
- Fairy: The treasure radar shows an image pointing left.
- Fairy: The treasure radar shows an image pointing up.
- Fairy: The treasure radar shows an image pointing right.
- (Reach the treasure area)
- (SiblingSibling): (Why is there no response from the treasure radar?Why is there no response from the treasure radar? /
The treasure radar doesn't seem to have any response.The treasure radar doesn't seem to have any response.) - (SiblingSibling): Broken already? (Aw, man...Aw, man... /
What a shame.What a shame.)
- (Interact with the portal in the treasure area)
- Fairy Rescue Assistant: "Master, the additional map data cross-referencing is done, I've determined that we can return to the Hollow's entrance from this location."
- Fleeting Fantasy: You can go back to the entrance from here. If only every part of the Hollow was full of supplies like this...
- Do you want to go back?
- Go back, we've got everything worth taking
- Wait. Let's check again
- (Interact with the second beacon)
- Fairy Rescue Service: "A functional beacon facility has been detected and is operating normally. It is advisable to decipher the beacon's code to facilitate quickly returning to this position in future operations."

- Enjoy the recovery function while you're here!

- There seem to be some notes written on it by an exploring investigator.
- Read it to better understand your surroundings
- The Third Lamp: "Record 03"
- The Third Lamp: "It's been 5 hours since we entered the Hollow. I took a nap and dreamed I was stuck in quicksand, but this Bangboo I'd never seen before pulled me out... But enough of that. What's urgent is that we take stock of our consumption plans — especially when it comes to supplies like beet juice and fruit candy drops."
- The Third Lamp: "The Ether distortion here manifests differently from before. The Bangboo shadows have disappeared, but we keep finding the remains of Bangboo merchants along our path."
- The Third Lamp: "I can no longer rely on my eyes to tell me which way to go. It's time to try something else."
- The Third Lamp: "Among checked entrances, one stands out. It emits a sound unlike a human or machine, more like a monster swallowing something..."
- This page seems to have useful info...
- Next page
- The Third Lamp: "That entrance with the strange sound might be the only way to get past here. I've got to hurry, I'm getting a bad feeling about this..."
- What should you do?
- Read it again
- Let's get going
- Don't read it. It's best to keep our nose out of investigator business
- (Interact with the Unknown Area, if the player took too much time)
- Fairy Rescue Service: "Traces of lingering Ethereals found. Hypothesis: Ethereals were here less than half an hour ago."
- (Approach the correct portal)
- ???: Gurgle...
- (Interact with the Investigator)
- Cycle of Madness: You come across an investigator with unkempt hair who has clearly been stuck here so long he's lost track of time. His equipment is worn down and in bad shape. One look tells you that he's no longer able to fight off the corruption brought on by the pressure. He grimaces strangely at you, then roars "You're not real. You're an illusion!"
- This is a textbook breakdown due to pressure...
- Try communicating
- Cycle of Madness: "Stay away... You're just an illusion! No... Argh!" The investigator waves his weapon around in the air, which is nothing more than a cracked steel bar. It seems he is no longer capable of normal communication.
- Try using recovery medicineIf only we had something like a Concentrated Sedative...
- Stay away from him
- (After the event)
- (SiblingSibling): (Don't tell me this guy is going to transform into an Ethereal...Don't tell me this guy is going to transform into an Ethereal... /
It's only a matter of time before we become Ethereals if we keep this up...It's only a matter of time before we become Ethereals if we keep this up...)
- (Move away from the investigator)
- Fairy: Warning, a large horde of Ethereals has been detected behind.
- (The Ethereals attack the investigator)
- (Interact with the Ethereals)
- The end of a cycle is death: Returning to the same spot, you discover the investigator... Who can no longer make a sound. Ethereals have crowded around his corpse, clawing at him as they stomp over the steel bar on the ground.
- What should we do?
- Eliminate them!
- (After defeating the enemies)
- The end of madness is also death: You eliminated the Ethereals, but this doesn't help the already deceased investigator...
- The end of madness is also death: The name tag reads: Official Investigator — Jeff Norasto.
- The end of madness is also death: Just as you're about to leave, you spy something glinting on the body. It's a name tag — and just about the only thing left in one piece.
- Run off before they notice you
- (After the event)
- (SiblingSibling): (Jeff... I think I just saw this name written down on the note just now.Jeff... I think I just saw this name written down on the note just now. /
Jeff... the colleague Abigail was looking for, right?Jeff... the colleague Abigail was looking for, right?)
- (Interact with the Unknown Area)
- Fairy Rescue Assistant: "Several unusual and suspicious marks have been detected. Hypothesis: A large Ethereal was here."
- (After the event)
- (SiblingSibling): Abigail should be fine, right...
- (Interact with the Bangboo)
- Fairy Rescue Assistant: "You find a destroyed Bangboo and manage to verify it as Abigail's assistant, Little Beetroot."
- Half a Beetroot: This is a... well, half a Bangboo. Half of its chassis has been smashed to pieces, and there's no way to read it's operation log — or any other data.
- Half a Beetroot: Despite having completely lost all function, Little Beetroot was lying face down on the ground with its head tilted off to one side, as though its final moments were spent still concerned about someone.
- Is it trying to tell us something?
- Investigate the Bangboo
- Fairy Rescue Assistant: "Master, judging by this Bangboo's remaining power, it must have been irreparably damaged by a massive external force — and it must have happened relatively recently."
- Half a Beetroot: This Bangboo was destroyed recently, and it seems to be gazing off in a particular direction.
- Where exactly is it looking...?
- Check where the Bangboo is looking
- Check where the Bangboo is looking
- Half a Beetroot: This Bangboo seems to be staring off in the direction of the safe house.
Inspecting its chassis may yield even more clues. - Is it trying to tell us something?
- Investigate the Bangboo
- Fairy Rescue Assistant: "Considering this alongside the info that we got from the Hollow Raider at the entrance: if we had reached this area slightly earlier, it is highly likely that the events causing its destruction would not have transpired."[verification needed]
- Half a Beetroot: This Bangboo seems to be staring off in the direction of the safe house.
- (After the event)
- (SiblingSibling): (Ah, there's a safe house!Ah, there's a safe house! /
I can see a safe house!I can see a safe house!)
- (Interact with the investigator in the safe house)
- Abigail is...: You see a young girl covered head to toe in investigator's gear, lying down inside a safe house. It's probably the target you've been tasked to find for this commission.
- Abigail is...: But... the girl is lying motionless on the ground...
- Abigail is...: Are we really too late...?
- Fairy Rescue Assistant: "Inspection complete. Subject confirmed as Abigail. Her vital signs are normal with no wounds detected. Diagnosis: Likely fainted. Possible Cause: Low blood sugar."
- The girl seems to detect movement and opens her eyes ever so slightly. Let's evacuate her for now!
- Have Fairy mark the exit
- (After the event)
- Fairy: Exit location marked.
- (SiblingSibling): (I can't last another second in this cursed place!I can't last another second in this cursed place! /
Get the heck outta this cursed place, pronto.Get the heck outta this cursed place, pronto.)
- (Reach the exit)
- Break the Cycle: Hordes of Ethereals lurk near the exit not far ahead, like guards in a never-ending maze protecting the final gate.
- What should we do?
- Help them break the cycle!
- Let me explore a little more...
The Fastest Route[]
See Gameplay Notes for directions.
- (Enter the fissure)
- (SiblingSibling): (Ah! Did something just run across?Ah! Did something just run across? /
Something just ran across! Am I seeing things...?Something just ran across! Am I seeing things...?)
- (Interact with the Elite Enemy blocking the portal)
- Fairy Rescue Service: "WARNING! A large number of Ethereals detected. Please engage with caution."
- Ethereal Swarm: You seem to have disturbed an Ethereal "reunion," and their undivided attention is now focused completely on you.
- What should we do?
- Fight! They're Ethereals, so how could we not?
- (After defeating the enemies)
- Fairy Rescue Service: "Master, a bottle of Concentrated Sedative was salvaged from the battlefield."
- What luck! But that's not the kind of thing an Ethereal would usually be carrying.
- Whatever. Take the Concentrated Sedative
- (Obtain Concentrated Sedative ×1)
- Run! We shouldn't get distracted.
- (Interact with Investigator Jeff)
- Fairy Rescue Service: "I've spotted an investigator ahead, but they are not our rescue target."
- Cycle of Madness: "Stay away... You're just an illusion! No... Argh!" The investigator waves his weapon around in the air, which is nothing more than a cracked steel bar. It seems he is no longer capable of normal communication.
- This is a textbook breakdown due to pressure...
- Try communicating
- Try using recovery medicineUse the Concentrated Sedative
- A Cold Reality: You take out the Concentrated Sedative, pin down the investigator, and shoot a sharp dose straight up his nostril.
"Ahhh, it's cold!" "Ahhh, it's sour!" "Ahhh, ah-choo!" - Investigator Jeff: Having temporarily regained his sanity, the investigator suddenly grows shy. With the utmost respect, he thanks you and tells you his name: Jeff.
- Looks like we can communicate normally now
- Tell him the way out of the Hollow
- Investigator Jeff: "Great... Thank you... I can get out myself... Good luck to you guys, too..."
- Investigator Jeff: Jeff waves at you gingerly, tossing the scrap metal bar before fishing several guns out of his pockets. He checks them over, then leaves.
- Investigator Jeff: There are some supplies he left behind in his hiding place.
- A Cold Reality: You take out the Concentrated Sedative, pin down the investigator, and shoot a sharp dose straight up his nostril.
- Stay away from him
- (Interact with the Boss Enemy)
- Fairy Rescue Assistant: "WARNING! Powerful Ethereal response detected. Please prepare for combat immediately."
- Source of the Swallowing Sound: An enormous Ethereal is letting out a peculiar roar. You instantly recognize it as the source of the muffled swallowing sound you heard back at the entrance.
- Looks like this is the head honcho of this Hollow, then...
- Let's turn it into the ex-head honcho of this Hollow!
- (After defeating the enemies)
- (SiblingSibling): There's a lot of good stuff behind these guys. Let's search quickly.
- (Interact with Little Beetroot)
- Fairy Rescue Assistant: "Master, Bangboo activity detected up ahead; the unit has been verified as Abigail's Bangboo assistant, Little Beetroot."
- Little Beetroot springs up three feet in the air: Ever since it saw you, Little Beetroot has been bouncing around non-stop, waving its hands around as it jumps up and down — seemingly out of both joy and anxiety.
- Little Beetroot springs up three feet in the air: Little Beetroot dances for joy, gesturing frantically in one direction.
"Ehn-nah! Nu-na-nah!" - The Bangboo translator program kicks into action: Inside! It's Abigail!
- Look where it's pointing
- (After the event)
- (SiblingSibling): (Ah, there's a safe house!Ah, there's a safe house! /
I can see a safe house!I can see a safe house!) - (SiblingSibling): (Great jobGreat job /
You've been a great helpYou've been a great help), Little Beetroot!
- (Interact with Abigail)

- (Reach the exit)
- Fairy Rescue Assistant: "Primary target: Abigail has been retrieved. Bonus target: The Bangboo belonging to the primary target has also been retrieved: Little Beetroot. Please evacuate the Hollow ASAP."
- Exit Marker: The commission is complete. You can now go back.
- Do you want to go back?
- Go back
- Let me explore a little more...
