Out of interest - Blue Eye Orbs - where am I supposed to find them in the early game?

[Iamezra313]

Hi all,

Gradually moving through this - first 3 areas are opened up (e.g. Evacuation Site/Caged City or whatever it's called, the one that follows on from the Petrol Station & the one going the other way e.g. Camping Site, Cemetery, Construction Site, Power Station I think it is if you follow the road).

Have my Link Tower Toolkit and have done the first Tower with Deadly Transmit. Have now almost got enough electronic parts to do a second Tower but for the life of me - where am I getting the Blue Eye Orbs from (or is this the idea I'm not supposed to get them early or something & I so I'm not meant to stop the re-spawning yet?). Am just a big fan of clearing areas out in games like this so this is next on my list of tasks.

Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions.

Are there many of those in the first couple of areas? Have been about quite a bit and short of the fat people who seem to spew acid (which I think I picked my first one up off of - was protecting the gate) there didn't seem to be many boss types about?

Only the first large puker (that serves as a mini-boss) drops an orb. There aren't many mini-bosses, but completing each tomb drops one. (If you follow the main quest, in the graveyard area, you'll learn how to climb down a rope, which lets you start exploring the tombs.

I held off on deadly transmission for a while, since killing monsters gives loot. At the very least, leave some areas not deadly-transmissioned so you have an infinite source of materials.

Only named bosses drop Blue Eye Orbs but between them and tombs you'll eventually have an overflow. You don't need to prevent respawning for materials tbh they're very plentiful in the world and the Mana Beads they drop after Deadly Transmission is installed are far more valuable

-plus later you can use the Ascension Transmission to respawn everything in the area (up to 3 times) - stronger and dropping extra materials

Yeah this by the sound of it is what I am missing - have the key which I dug up in the South Cemetery and by the sounds of it there is something that I have missed. At this point I'm not looking to completely clear out the first 3 areas but just cut the numbers down as it then makes it easier to clear out some of the properties.

In Fairwood northeast of link tower, there are 2 bosses together and they both drop blue eyed orb.

Noted and comically I'm now in Fort Darrow so totally on the wrong side of the map. Lol.
