Silver Palace Capital District and Company Branch Guide

To clear early exploration targets in Silver Palace—such as reaching 42% completion in the Capital District and 50% in the Company Branch—combine methodical environment scanning with targeted side activities like the Royal Equestrian Tournament. Prioritize clearing low-density area items and gathering evidence before advancing major quest triggers.

Capital District Exploration and Lost Packages

Reaching the 42% exploration threshold in the Capital District requires scanning building exteriors, alleyways, and quiet side streets for interactable icons rather than moving directly from one main quest marker to another.

• Scan Lower-Density Areas: Search behind vendor stalls and around staircases to find tucked-away items like Lost Packages.
• Complete Local Pickups First: Gather hidden lore entries and minor resources in an area before speaking to key story NPCs to avoid unnecessary backtracking.
• Track Quest Thresholds: Collecting Lost Packages fulfills prerequisites for side quests that unlock after hitting specific discovery milestones.

Royal Equestrian Tournament Strategy

The Royal Equestrian Tournament is a timing-based side event that yields exclusive regional currency and reputation points not obtainable through normal mission progression.

1. Preview the Course: Observe the track layout prior to your first official run to identify straightaways and tight turns.
2. Manage Turn Speed: Slow down slightly in designated drift zones. Entering a corner at a controlled speed allows for a cleaner line and a faster exit sprint.
3. Preserve Momentum: Avoid environmental hazards across the track, as collisions disrupt momentum and risk failing strict time trial limits.

Clearing the Company Branch to 50%

Unlike the open-air layout of the Capital District, the Company Branch emphasizes vertical room structures and indoor terminal puzzles. Reaching 50% regional completion relies on systematic office searches and narrative progression.

• Search Cubicles and Side Rooms: Explore every office wing for data logs needed to operate locked computer terminals.
• Watch for Environmental Signals: Subtle changes in lighting or audio cues often point toward hidden interactables.
• Respect Story Gates: Restricted doors require specific security clearance keys earned in the main story. If a section remains locked, advance the main campaign before returning to clear the remaining percentage.

Dichotomy Tests and Evidence Gathering

Dichotomy Tests present logic scenarios where you must select and present gathered clues to resolve dialogue contradictions.

Failing to supply sufficient evidence can lock you out of optimal dialogue branches and alter your standing with key characters. If progression stalls, re-examine previously visited sectors. New clues and interactable points often spawn in earlier areas after major story beats occur. Verify your clue inventory before initiating test dialogues to ensure all required evidence is available.
