This final part of the demo area has a few more things to teach you before you go rushing off into the meat of the game. With not one but two bosses to face in this area, pay close attention to the effects of electricity, keep your head on a swivel, and most importantly: hold on tight to our guide.
Elysion Boulevard Entrance
Before entering Elysion Boulevard via its entrance on the north side of Hotel Krat, we do recommend youstop by the mechanic in the hotel, Eugenie. You will be given your firstnew Legion Arm.
This arm,Puppet String,is capable ofpulling enemies toward you. This will be a big help for Elysion Boulevard, which is design to teach you to make use of this arm.
As you enter Elysion Boulevard proper, you’ll be met with a brief introduction to the Black Rabbit Brotherhood past the first gate and underneath the tram cart.
Go through this integrated cutscene to reach the Stargazer ahead. When you activate it, you’ll notice yourStargazer features have changed:
From the Stargazer, go ahead just enough to see thebreak in the fencing to your right.Jump down and notice thepuppet beating on the dooron the left.
Defeat this puppetand then fight the puppet that will charge you from the nearby stairs.
Go up the stairsand wrap aroundto the rightto backstab another puppet. This will clear the area in front of the Stargazer.
Now, turn around andcontinue down the Boulevard.
There aretwo puppets ahead and by the carriageon the right side of the street. You canpull one toward youwith the Puppet String to split them up.
Follow the street to the leftand through a doorway. Gemini should begin talking to you about the boulevard’s lore.
Go left and hesitatearound the carriage. Apuppet will ambush you by jumping from the top of it.Defeat it and take theVivid Ergo Fragmentby the locked shortcut.
Turn around andcontinue down the unventured, lit pathto an area filled with enemies.
There isa dog that will bark to wake the puppetssitting on the ground (two on either side of the street and one further up the stairs). You need to defeat all of them to reach thechest to the left of the stairswith a newdefensive part, the LADA F150 Frame.
It is best to use your Puppet String to prevent getting swarmed with these enemies. you may use it on the dog before it barks too to prevent it from waking the other puppets.
Go up the stairsnow. You’ll see what appears to be a dead end. However, there’s a verysmall, narrow alley on the right sideof the gate.
In this alley, look on the left wall to seea ladder. Climb itto reach a new, rooftop area.
At the top, proceed carefully as there is anambush around the corner to the right.It is a normal puppet, but a second, pistol-wielding puppet is within range several rooftops away.
After you destroy the puppet around the corner, fight the one ahead and thenrun across the rooftop bridge.You can fight the gunslinger across the way to stop his firing.
From the gunslinger,go leftto the dead end. Here, pick up the Sawtoothed Wheel and theninteract with the device that has a red glowat the top.
This device will lowera shortcut laddernear the Entrance Stargazer.
From the ladder,venture backwhere the gunslinger was. Go forward, ignoring the rooftop bridge, until youcross a fallen sign.
On the roof across the way,a strong puppet with an axewill appear. Defeat it with Fable attacks and well-timed guards.
From the strong puppet,enter the home.Go up two sets of stairs where you’ll find apuppet standing with its back to you. This is a trap.
Two more puppets are in this room. One in the far corner near the open door and one behind the boxes on your right.
Sneak up on the unaware puppet andbackstab it.When it’s finished, backpedal enough so you can now face both puppets in the room without being flanked. Defeat them.
Alternatively, you can use your Puppet String here. However, we recommend ensuring you keep it saved for the trials ahead.
At the open doorway, you’ll spya bridge with an enemy across. Asecond, pistol-wielding puppet is just out of viewto the right of the enemy you can see.
Walk far enough out touse your Puppet Stringand drag the enemy ahead across the bridge. Defeat it. Then,sprint across the bridgeto take out the second enemy.
With both enemies out of the picture, you can nowlook behind youat the door you’ve come from. Notice theledge to the left of it leading to an item.
You can walk across the bridge and, with your body facing the wall, carefullyslide across the ledge.This rewards withone Electric Blitz Abrasive.
Across the bridge,go rightdown the short alley to see adead end with an itemat the end. The item is aSharp Pipe(capable of being used for weapon-building).
However, this item is guarded by apuppet hidden around the corner to the right.You’ll need to carefully fight it by either baiting it out or rolling in with an aggressive attack.
Back at the bridge area, notice theladder on the side of the buildinggoing down. Use it to reach ahidden alleyway section.
You can follow this alleyway to findalong the main path:
Once the shortcut is open, turn around andclimb the ladder back upto the bridge area.
From this point,travel straight aheadto another, shorter ladder. Climb it andtake a right, rolling through a set of breakable crates.
There is anambush around the corner. As you come around, a puppetfar ahead and aboveon a rooftop willthrow Throwing Cellsat you which discharge withan area of electricity.
To not be struck, you’ll need tobait the throw first, dodge it, and then dash into grab the Vivid Ergo Fragment.
Dash back out and around the buildingto its left side. A puppet will be standing with its back to you. Either:
you may, if you have enough Sawtoothed Wheels, attempt defeating one of the puppets on the roof by throwing the wheels at it enough times.
Go leftover the short bridge to another enemy. Defeat it to safely take theDim Ergo Fragment in the cornerof this roof. A similar enemy is ahead. However, theenemies on the above roofwith the Throwing Cells will give it coverage.
To safely progress,be aggressivein destroying the enemy on this roof and keep running forward until you reacha ledge and a ladder.
Rather than using the ladder,look down and step off the ledge to strikean enemy hiding just below.
Ahead, two more enemies and a Legion Magazine item in the corner wait.
Past this area and around the rooftops, you’llenter the buildingto see a doorway and a ladder.Take the ladderto the rooftops.
Here, you may finallyget revengeon those pesky Throwing Cell puppets. Destroy both of them and then, following the edge of the roof on the left,avoid the holein the roof to grab theVivid Ergo Fragment.
Look downin the hole to see a small wooden beam in the center. Carefully angling yourself,fall onto this wooden beamand thenlook left.
An enemy should be below you.Fall on this enemywhile attacking. Leave the room, and you’ll see athin beam leading to an arenawith a minboss.
You can take a short detour to the left and into the house to defeat one last enemy and take the Frozen Man’s Letter inside.
This miniboss is thankfully very straightforward. The best times to hit it areafter it throws two punches(one with either arm) andafter it jumps forwardto downward strike with both arms.
It is a tanky enemy, but be persistent, and you’ll be able toloot the nearby chest.Inside isa Life Amulet.
The Life Amulet can be equipped in your inventory and increases your maximum HP value. You may wear two amulets at any time.
Across the bridge from the arena and into the house with the blue glow, you’ll find theElysion Boulevard House Stargazer.
Activate this Stargazer andtake a moment to:
Elysion Boulevard House: Navigating The Rooftops
Outside the Elysion Boulevard House, you’ll find a puppet standing ahead. He’s flanked by another,hidden enemy around the corner to the right.
Use your Puppet Stringto pull the puppet within sight to you, defeat it, and then deal with the hidden enemy. Take care, however; thehidden enemy likes to chargeas soon as you get close.
Continuing forward, an enemy will walk around the house on patrol to the right.Pull this one forward with Puppet Stringtoo as there is another enemy on the roof above.
To reach the rooftop enemy,hug the wallin the center of the roof andwrap around until you see a ladder.Climb itand flank the enemy.
An item (Venigini’s Krat Landmark Guide II) can be found on the right side of this high roof, but anenemy is hanging on the rooftop edge. It will jump over and attack you as you get close.
Look around to see anitem sitting on a far out, lone beamsticking over the lower rooftop. Go over to it and cross carefully to the beam’s edge fora Dim Ergo Fragment.
As you come back onto the roof, you’ll see aladder to your right.This ladder will lead to a detour of a slew of alleyways with several extremely valuable items.
Elysion Boulevard Alleyway Item Detour
Climbing down the first available ladder into this area, ignore the coughing sounds for now andhead left for the item in the corner: a Radiant Ergo Fragment.Astrong enemy with an axeis nearby, and you’ll need to defeat it to safely traverse this area.
Turn around to look at theother side of the ladderwherea dog is patrolling.
You can strike one of the metal contraptions on the ground with a Sawtoothed Wheel or your Puppet String to cause it to detonate and electrify the dog.
Walk forward toward the puppet at the end of the road with caution. As you approach,another dog will burst out of one of the windows to the left.
Defeat them both and thenturn right to a narrow alleywith another metal contraption blocking the way.Detonate it,and you’ll be able to reacha chestwith aWorkshop Union Standard Insulation Converter.
When the above enemies have been defeated, you can safelyreturn to the ladderand look across the street ahead to seea lit window.Interact with it tospeak with Toma.
Speaking with Toma willbegin a questto find his and Murphy’s whistle.
From Toma’s window,turn left to the cornerwhere you found the Radiant Ergo Fragment and defeat the strong puppet.Turn left again,and you’ll spy several metal contraptions in the alley.
Follow this streetto find two dogs and a puppet defendingGemini’s Emergency Protection on the right sideand a shortcut ahead.Open the shortcutand then go backdown the stairs and to its leftto find aHidden Moonstoneand a dog in the corner.
Gemini’s Emergency Protection is a consumable item that, when used, will reduce the amount of unclaimed Death Ergo you lose per hit from an enemy.
After defeating the dog,look left against the wallto find a very skinny alleyway between it and the buildings.
Two puppets patrol this alleyway. Defeat them, and you’ll finda second Hidden Moonstoneat theend of this alley on the left side.
With everything now found and in your pocket, you mayreturn to the laddernear the start of this detour to continue to the elevator shortcut.
Elysion Boulevard House: Elevator Shortcut
From the rooftops where the detour began,continue across the bridgetoward a home. Gemini’s lantern will glow red, anda pink butterfly will appear.
These creatures - known asDimensional Butterflies- will appear in obscure locations and, when youstrike them down,give exceptionallyrare and useful items.Gemini’s lantern will detect their hidden presence, so watch it carefully.
After striking down the Dimensional Butterfly (which givesone Hidden Moonstone),go into the hole in the house to the left.This path will lead you to a ladder.
Instead of using the ladder,drop off to the metal platform on the rightwhich leads to a lit window. This will bring you tothe Weeping Woman.Sheoffers you another unique questwhere you must find her baby.

Murphy’s Faded Whistlecan also be found on the bench in this arena.
From the constable’s arena, you canventure through the gatewayfor theTorn Doodle. A dog lies in wait on the ground by the street lamp to the left on the right side of the street.
Otherwise, the only notable risks in this area are thetwo patrolling, saber-wielding puppets.They do have the ability toguard against your attacksnow and strike back, sofight them with caution.
As you venture down the road, one of these strong saber-wielding puppets willburst through a door.This door will lead into a small room withan elevator device.
Step into the elevatorand interact with the panel on the left side torepair it.This elevator will lead youup to the Elysion Boulevard House Stargazer- a huge shortcut for this area.
