2B Factory Escape Hidden Items

By dreamXCdid

I'm not going into detail where this is. It will be obvious if you've played this part of the game.

Probably isn't worth the exploration during 2B's Escape, but during Route C it is worth it. The Hackable Chest has a lot of rare crafting materials.

Secrets

There is a hidden path inside one the Stacks that you pass though during 2B's escape.
The path is hidden and is not displayed in game. You can't even see your character. You pretty much have to navigate using the minimap as an aid. The top chest is visible if you have the Item Scan chip equipped. The other items including the Hackable Chest aren't readily visible until you approach them. The path is easy to miss, but the screen zooms in when you land on the path.

I actually found the path by accident. I found the path fighting enemies an dodging with 2B. I didn't have the Item Scan so I didn't realize there were chests on the ledges. [Image updated with corrected chest location]

Another chest can be found when you are moving through the ascending maze.
Warning: Really nasty enemies drop down from this area. So claiming a corpse might not be advisable. The area is also hidden from view. Sorry this is a Route C screen capture so it's unlit, but you really only need to look at the minimap.

I recommend taking control of a machine as 9S then going to this place then taking control of machines coming down the ramp to get onto the ramp

For the chest in the tower, how do you get onto that ramp? Do you need to jump onto something? Or since this part is in mostly profile 2D, do you need to actually try to go 3D ?

@``~Scre@m~`` What I did was hold my jump button so I'd float as soon as I fell (run off the ledge, don't jump down), then I did a quick attack so I would kind of float to the side, then I did a quick double jump and got it.

@LEMP!KA, Yeah, that 's probably right. I had to go on memory, so I probably swapped the items and the nonhacked chest. TBH, I had to guess. 50/50 shot, gone wrong. And without doing another run (which I wasn't going to do) I had to guess. Thanks for the correction. I'll get arount to fixing the graphic. And you're probably right about the location of the ramp entrance. Like I stated, I found the ramp by accident when I was evading during a fight. I didn't even know there were items there until I made a second run with 9S and found the hackable chest. During the 9S run I cleared the enemies and went back to explore the stack. With 9S I was just jumping around and dashing until I hit the ramp. I really didn't take note on where I entered the ramp.

Heya, if it's alright I'd like to make a few notes:

The entrance to the hidden path in the Stack is directly above the right exit, meaning you have to jump up from the outside towards the Stack. The diagram is great but I don't think it mentioned that specifically.

Also the spawn locations were the same, but for me the chest and item locations were swapped for me. So the highest point of the Stack had a pickup item.
