Saving Hacker Rain Hollow Guide
Step-By-Step Guide:
Touch the Untouchable Friend
Once Fairy maps the path to where the rebels are, head left until you see the blue ghost. Use your Infrared Camera to go into Night Mode and touch the Untouchable Friend surrounded by the four Specters to save it.
Obtain The First Newspaper
From the blue ghost’s location, move through the tiles until you spot a blue newspaper, The Truth, which contains clues about the Twin Marionnettes inside the Ballet Twins. Collect Gear Coins along the way.
Defeat Four Red Ghosts
From the newspaper’s location, ride the conveyor belt southward. Navigate the tiles until you see four Untouchable Friends, which you can defeat using the Infrared Camera. The unlit light is located just past the four ghosts.
Touch the Second Untouchable Friend
Two tiles to the right of the bulb, there is another blue ghost. Follow the path in Night Mode to touch the second Untouchable Friend.
Turn-on the Second Unlit Light
Once the path is unlocked, use the Eject Mechanism to propel you along the upward path. Eous will stop once it hits a fragile wall, which Corin will automatically break. Turn on the Unlit Light to reveal a Gear Coin and another Blue Newspaper.
Head to Where the Rebels Are
From the second Blue Newspaper’s location, head down to an enclosed area with a key on the left and a locked valve on the right. This area is where the Rebels are, so prepare for a fight before interacting with the enemy tile.
Obtain Hollow Observation Data 1
After defeating the rebels, pick up the key and obtain the Hollow Observation Data behind it. Use the key to open the locked valve and use the upward passage to get teleported to the upper level.
Get the Third Blue Newspaper
From the warp point, pick up the first Key and head right to access the new area’s circuit system. After mapping the area, head to the third Newspaper near a blue ghost, which you can unlock in Night Mode.
Get the Second Key
After unlocking the blue ghost, use the Eject Mechanism to propel you to the area below. Collect the second Key and open the Closed Gate using 4000 Gear Coins to get Dennies and an Elite Supply Box.
Obtain Hollow Observation Data 2
From the Closed Gate, head left and then upward to find the elevator tile behind a locked valve. Before unlocking the valve, collect Hollow Observation Data 2 from a tile to its left. Head to the roof via the elevator tile.
Save Rain
After defeating the enemies and exiting the elevator, head towards the rebels. Follow the linear path left, upward, then downward until you can touch their tile. Prepare for a fight as you rescue Rain.
Head to the Exit Within Tower B
Once Rain is saved, the hollow map will change, rendering the nearby exit unusable. After remapping a new exit within Tower B, head down and right until you find a southbound path. Avoid Ethereals as Rina and the gang defeat them for you.
Obtain Hollow Observation Data 3
After passing through the enemies, collect the third and final Hollow Observation Data along the way. Use the Ether Dewdrop behind it to heal your party before the tough boss fight in the next room.
Head to the Lobby of Tower B
Ensure your party is prepared, hit the switch at the end path to open the final tile. There is also the last blue newspaper in the middle, which talks about the spatial fissure in Tower B. Finally, touch the exit to fight the Twin Marionnettes.
