Message Packs[]

Message packs are mysterious messages found on the field that were left behind by unknown hunters. Many of the tutorial messages and LMA reports appear to be from the same person. Messages commonly appear after clearing dead-end rooms or around special areas such as the arena or pizzeria.

A weapon with a high photon type ratio is effective against hostiles of that type.

— "Weapon Element Ratios"

Item 82: Unstable variables. Item 83: Benefits uncertain. Re-evaluation cycle initiated.

— "Routine Report"

iTem: 6six6, rejected. Advice: Rejected. Rejected. All rejected. ALL.

— "RouTEEN ReP0r7"

The upper torso looks like a match for the legs, but they are unalike in ability.

— "Unmatched Half-Bodies"

There are some obviously different from the others. They're both tough.

— "King and Queen"

My instincts are saying they're here, too. This atmosphere's awful to take.

— "Pizza Shop? 2"

The legendary pizza that time shaped into a weapon! Enjoy! It's bombalicious!

— "Coco Hut"

Huh? What is this place? An audience? Hostiles? Aiyeeee! Help me!

— "What's an Arena? 4"

Wanted: Challengers confident in their skills. Survival not guaranteed.

— "The Arena Challenge"

Poison mist is just wrong. There should be a switch somewhere, but, blecch.

— "Dear Rookies 18"

Visible traps are sometimes scarier than the invisible ones. Poison spikes?

— "Dear Rookies 19"

Shadows and light that move as living things? Splendid be this place, splendid!

— "LMA Report 28"

Here, in the middle, the B/W ratio of hostiles switch. As do their weaknesses.

— "LMA Report 29"

So much for a Eulid's beauty. With little grace it flails when facing destruction.

— "LMA Report 30"

The sword of Phobos returns when thrown. Perhaps the sword is the sentient one?

— "LMA Report 31"
