LOST in LISA: tour guide

Don't know where to go? Forgot where that merchant was? Misplaced a companion? This covers all that.

PREFACE & PURPOSE

This is a light guide for LISA. It doesn't cover secrets or story event flags, only what's really necessary to navigate through the game without getting lost or stuck.

RECENT CHANGES

Bonfire present random event item list is now complete.

PARTICULAR AREAS

Locations are listed in the direction and order in which you come across them. In situations of route divide, I use an asterisk and linebreak.

PROGRESSION GOALS

On every area hub, I've listed in spoiler tags what you're suppose to be doing and where you can go to accomplish this.

BARS, SHOPS, WEAPON CABINETS

I've included an inventory list for all merchants. All items sell for 50% value to vendor. For who can use particular items, use my companion guide.

TIP: Use the Shift key to cycle through your gang when buying weapons and armor.

COMPANIONS

Area and specific recruitment details are listed. For abilities and general usefulness, I made a separate guide. You can sometimes miss out on companions by flagging or not flagging certain events.

FARMING/GRINDING

Appended to the end of this guide is a list of random encounters. Good if you are low on magazines or just recruited a low level companion.

PARTY SWITCHING AND RESTING

You can switch party members out at party posters. Max party size is 4. There are 9 posters throughout Olathe.

• Area One: Village
  
• Area One: Apocalypx-Games
  
• Area One: Rando Camp
  
• Area Two: Construction
  
• Area Two: Desert
  
• Area Two: Drive-Thru Mountain
  
• Area Two: Karate Village
  
• Transition Two
  
• Area Three: Pleasant Field

You can rest for free at campfires. Here are the possible things that can happen to you.

• Farted on (does nothing.)
  
• Creeped on (does nothing.)
  
• Have a joy mask put on (does nothing.)
  
• Threatening note (does nothing.)
  
• Party member kidnapped, ransomed (100/200 mags, Blue Rockets/Pretty Boys.)
  
• Have a current party member abandon you.
  
• Poisoned/deep poisoned.
  
• Item theft (jerky, perfume.)
  
• Magazine theft (20.)
  
• Present (mystery jerky, fancy perfume, firebomb, joy, old sock.)
  
• Gale Motorcycle Club event (Area Three campfire only, member permanently lost.)

There is a tent in Area One where you can rest for free. You may suffer a stat-decreasing random event however. You will permanently lose 10 health and 10 luck.

There are also two inns where for 10 magazines you can rest and have nothing bad happen to you. One is at Area One: Rando Camp (inside a tent) and another is Area Two: Construction.

When you've reached the EWC, you may rest safely and freely at the bed there any time after the first bout.

RANDOM ENCOUNTERS & FARMING

AREA ONE: RANDO CAMP: SHADOW HALLWAY

This is an excellent early farming area. If you get low on health or SP, simply use the save point and tent right outside. Even when XP given seems low, you are still receiving 10 magazines and items. Mystery jerky sells for 5 magazines, diet cocola cola for 2. Mob can be killed in one 350+ dmg hit making this go very fast.

Shadowy Figure	Magazines	Loot Table
91 XP	10	Mystery Jerky [+300 HP]
		Diet Cocola Cola [+200 SP]

AREA ONE: FIELD: SNAKE GRASS

While XP given is more than Shadowy Figures, snakes drop nothing, have two phases, and can poison you. Poison can be cured by cigarettes but there is no one in game that sells them.

Snake	Magazines	Loot Table
135 XP	0	Nothing.

AREA TWO: SWAMP: SHADOW HALLWAY

Exactly the same as the other shadow hallway.

AREA TWO: SWAMP: SNAKE SWAMP

Snakes here cast a higher level poison but otherwise function the same. They give more XP but still drop nothing.

Snake	Magazines	Loot Table
500 XP	0	Nothing.

AREA TWO: GARBAGE ISLAND: TRASH STROLL

Out of the way, drops no items and less magazines than shadowy figures. Also higher stats and casts more debuffs. Not suggested.

Lunatic Box/Fridge/Trash	Magazines	Loot Table
100 XP	9	Nothing.

TRANSITION TWO: EWC: DYSTOPIAN RUMBLE

You aren't penalized for wiping, repeatable. Grants 2000 XP, 0-35 magazines, no items. Best place to grind XP but opens very late in the game.

DOJOS

There are 4 dojos in Olathe. By completing the dojo master's challenge, you receive a consumable scroll that can be used on one character. Check your key items.

PAIN MODE & SAVE POINTS

Pain mode can be activated after defeating the dog tormenting Terry. When this mode is activated, save points become one-use and disappear. New mobs, bosses and an area also open up when you're in pain mode. I have listed save points below. There are 36 in total. Please tell me if I missed any.

[ｅｔｃｈ]

same, @spaalone, I was playing in pain mode this whole time and didn't realise it and wondering why there are so few save points

[spaalone]

i just noticed that i accidentally enabled pain mode

[Zombiefied01]

im so confused i just started playing this game, does the crow fly to a different spot after you save or is that just the only time you can save until you get farther into the game cause sometimes i have leave in a hurry

[Oreodog300]

welp, I just saved my game, and before that I sold the tnt to those guys.... and then I read this... maybe in order to make sure people dont make the same mistake I did, put that warning at the top of area 2 instead of at the bottom of it. other thatn that this is a great guide

[DuckieMcduck]

Oh right, thanks!

[monday]

@UnluckyDuckie: Laboratory.

[DuckieMcduck]
