HELP! WAY UNDERLEVELED!

[moneyzilla]

Im at ng+++ and I am only level 37, I'm not doing any damage against the enemies, and the game wont let me go to the farming spots. What do I do?

My question is how you managed to get to your third playthrough at only lvl 37. Sorry for my incredulity but I was lvl 30 before I even managed to finish my first playthrough.

To answer the question you posted, do as the guy before me said, switch to easy mode until you get some more levels and fuse up some experience boosting chips to install to your character. I have one of my chipsets set up specifically for farming with exp and drop rate boosters. Also, make sure you have upgraded your weapons as much as you can at the weapon shops.

Edit: there is also a shop in the resistance camp that sells chipset slot boosters (can't remember the exact name but they increase the amount of slots you have for installing chips) that are a bit pricey but highly worth it. If you are low on funds, you can go fishing at pretty much any fishing spot to catch fish to sell for easy profit. 20-30 mins can eaisily (with decent luck) net you 50,000G

You're on Route C? Which character are you playing?

If you can play as 9S, then absolutely nothing at that point in the game should be unkillable, except for one enemy I'm pretty sure you don't know about, and wont attack you unless you do something specific. Just hack your way to whatever you want or where ever you need to go, should be able to 2 or 3 shot anything up to 15 levels above you.

Also, stack XP chips. Stack them until you can't stack them anymore.

If you don't remember, in this point of story character you play go between B2 and S9. And while S9 can pretty much hack all ther way, 2B need to destroy machines 45-50 lvl or so

I don't remember exactly which chapter he's referring to I guess. Do you? I'll go check and see if I can get some more constructive advice.

I've deleted my save so I can't say you which chapter it is. It's just the start of route C, after 9S hack air defence, android army arrive and 2B need to kill enemies near other assault groups. It's probably even earlier than EMP enemies, not to mention spoiler ones

iam guessing you dont know what plug in chips are, when i discovered what their purpose was half way through my 1st playthrough the game became trivial. I just stacked 100% damage and got my weapons to lvl 4. i died once on normal and it was during the prologue with a K+M. the game is way to easy on normal and far to hard on very hard lol.

Oh.

That's a rough spot to be stuck in.

OP, there's two ways to get past this - First, drop to easy. I know, it doesn't feel great, but that's what happens when you manage to miss as much XP as you have (Seriously, how?).

Your second option isn't great either - It's cheese time. Switch all your chips to Health Regen and Ranged Attack+, put Pod-A/Laser on, tape the fire button down and dodge, baby, dodge. There's very few bosses that won't succumb to this tactic. It's a bit time consuming, but if you're in a tight spot...

Oh, and once you're past this, I'd switch all your chips to EXP+ and Drop Rate Up. You seriously need some more muscle.

Well, if your enemies 10-15 levels higher than you, even +100% damage not really help :D

Yah, it doesn't. Maybe 1-2 damage per shot. But what else are you going to equip? Defense chips are just as paltry at that point.

That tactic really does work, though. It's death by a thousand paper cuts and takes forever, but it'll do the trick. It even works on the final boss.

The actual final boss, that is. If you don't know what I mean, spoilers!

[Shifter]

It was answer to DeiTy93 :) But by "actual final boss" you mean level 99 one or "impossible to beat alone" one? :D

Ending Y. The 99 one.

Step 1: Easy mode
Step 2: Auto-everything chips
Step 3: Desert Pit
Step 4: Leave overnight
Step 5: ????
Profit

Except you don't have access to Desert Pit at this point
