Two questions about getting Apocalypse Bird gear

[Omertoso]

Hello. I'm in a situation where I'm planning on restarting all the way back to the first day.

But before I do that, I'd like to kill Apocalypse Bird. Unfortunately, my agents are mostly weak and I've got no chance at all to kill it. However, I have WhiteNight, and I already have had it kill Apocalypse Bird once, although I restarted that day.

So, I've got two questions:

1) Can I even obtain Apocalypse Bird's gear this way? Does it matter how it dies?
2) Can I restart/do memory repository while all of my agents are dead and still keep any gear I've manufactured during the day? Or do I need to finish the day?

Thanks in advance!

If you restart you'll lose the gear, but if you did a memory repository, you'll keep the gear.

Thanks, this gave me the courage to actually try.

In short, I managed to get both Apocalypse Bird and WhiteNight killed in one day. I then used the memory repository from the menu. I had both of their gear with me.

Then I restarted from day one, and I still had the gear. Huge success!

So the answer to 1 is yes. Also, I used Helix of the End to kill WhiteNight (three times, in fact), and the answer is yes there, too.

As for 2, I can't say for sure, because ultimately my strategy had one person survive to the end. However, from what I've read, using the memory repository should still save the gear as long as Apocalypse Bird and WhiteNight are killed, even if everyone's dead.

I did read that you have to use the memory repository from the menu, though, not from the pop-up that appears at the top when all of your agents are dead. No idea if there's any truth to that, but mind as well mention it if anyone wondering about the same things I did stumbles upon this thread.

The blue button that pops up at the top of the screen when all your agents die is translated wrong and should say "reset the day" just like in the pause menu.
