- The dig site chief is determined to find Konogg, come what may.
- Despite your apprehensions, the dig site chief insists upon accompanying you into the Puppets' Bunker. Knowing he is driven by his worry for Konogg, you have no choice but to acquiesce, and lead on into the installation.
- You make your way to the alien ship in search of Konogg, but what greets you instead is the mysterious orb you encountered once before─along with numerous versions of 2P, clearly plotting something. Though Anogg─or the girl you have known as Anogg, at least─rushes in with 2B and 9S and urges you to destroy the sphere, it is already too late. A pale and foreboding tower grows before your very eyes, spiraling up to the heavens.
-
- ※The Tower at Paradigm's Breach can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
- You overcome the network of consciousnesses that guard the tower, and ascend up, up, and further still, where you find yourself face-to-face with a god of uncommon make. Though you narrowly prevent it from claiming dominion over this world, the portal in the sky that heralded its advent remains despite your android companions' best efforts. Only Anogg's intervention sees it closed at last, as she passes through and closes the gate from the other side─leaving you with naught more than a simple letter by which to answer Konogg's inevitable questions.
- The portal now sealed for good, you take in your surroundings, and find the unmoving shells of 2B and 9S. In audio data located by your pod, 2B explains that, as she and 9S had once come to the First by way of the orb's power, its gate could not truly be closed so long as the androids remained. She vows to preserve the memory of all that has happened, however, and her final message to you is one of thanks.
- You leave the crater and seek out the dig site chief, who found the tower's sudden disappearance quite as unnerving as its creation, but seems otherwise no worse for wear. While much you have seen bears contemplation at a later time, for now you may take simple satisfaction in your victory─great as its price may have been.
If you're ready to face whatever's in there, then let's get this over with. The longer we wait, the more I worry...
|
What will you say?
What do you mean, “let's”?
|
If anything in there needs killing, I can handle it myself.
|
I'm coming with you. I'll leave the dangerous bits to you, but I can't stand by and do nothing! Not anymore...
|
|
I need to make sure he's safe. Please.
Konogg... What have you gotten yourself into?
|
Cutscene start.
|
Sorry for lagging behind─have to keep reminding myself not to get distracted. To tell the truth, I'm starting to understand the intrigue.
You said that the place you found Konogg before is through here?
|
Beings of this world... Watch closely.
|
There's no time─destroy the sphere! Quickly!
|
This is bad. We have to get out!
|
Damn it! We're too late...
|
What will you say?
What in the seven hells was that?
|
I feel I'm owed several explanations...
|
I know you're confused, but there's no time.
|
|
We must destroy that sphere. 2P's plans are already in motion, and this whole world will be consumed...
|
We won't let that happen.
We came to save this world─and now we have a debt to repay. You saved 9S, after all.
|
And there's still so much here we haven't seen! Right, 2B?
|
Er, right. Leave it to us.
|
It'll take everything we've got to stop them. I believe we can succeed...but we'll need your help. Be ready.
|
What will you say?
I'd feel weirder if you weren't ordering me around.
|
Fine... But I'll get my explanations from you yet!
|
|
I'm sorry, Chief─can you look after Konogg?
|
You're...sorry!?
Ahem. Yes, of course. I'll carry him back and make sure he rests. You look after yourself, now─and tell me what all of this is about later.
|
...We make for the tower.
|
Cutscene end.
|
I wish we had time for a few quick scans at least...
|
The sooner we can destroy that sphere, the better.
|
We can't let it keep opening!
|
I'll help you─from the other side.
...Take care of Konogg.

This is YoRHa unit 2B...recording...
We discovered that our enemies─the white-clothed androids, the tower, that colossal girl─came from that white orb.
As did 9S and I.
It's a gate between worlds, and its purpose...is to destroy this one.
As long as 9S and I are on this side, it can never be closed. We have to go.
But we'll save the memories of our reunion─and of the time we spent in this world, with you.
Some things are just too precious to lose.
So... thank you.
|
Lali-that scared the shite out of me-ho!
The tower just up and disappeared! It sort of...folded in on itself. In the blink of an eye!
Glad to see that you're safe, though.
