■ TipsTIPS
Either answer about your name allows you to complete this quest. Pay attention to the choice on the same difficulty when pursuing additional events.
The quest fails if Sue's HP reaches zero in battle. Keep an eye on her HP and prevent enemies from surrounding her.
To get past the broken door, bring Sue with you and defeat all nearby enemies. Approach the door and finish her dialogue; she will deal with the device and open it.
■ Routes determined by whether you tell Sue your nameEXTRA
- Refuse to tell Sue your name, then talk to her in The Unsealed Door to follow the Kireek duel and Soul Eater route.
- Tell Sue your name to follow her investigation dialogue. Choose this route for the additional ending in Soul of Steel and Kireek's company and the Ragol Ring in Seat of the Heart.
- Once you complete the quest and the answer is recorded, replaying it on the same difficulty will not change that answer. Decide which route you want before your first response.
- Do not cancel immediately after answering the name question. Complete the quest and collect the reward at the counter.
■ Dr. Montague's enemy-part conversionEXTRA
- Complete Doc's Secret Plan on the same difficulty first.
- Carry an enemy part, accept this quest and talk to Dr. Montague on Pioneer 2.
- Select the enemy part you want to convert from the inventory selection screen. Hand it over to receive the corresponding weapon or shield.
- Talk to the doctor again to convert another part. The same conversion is also available in The Unsealed Door.
