Homestar Runner Strategy Guide/Quests/Infiltrating Neo Arcadia
From Homestar Runner Fanstuff Wiki
To Start
- You must have completed the "King Of World" and "Xiao Xiao" quests.
- Start this quest at: World Fortress
Part One: Neo Arcadia?!?!?!
First of all, talk to the King of World. He'll tell you about a forbidden city named Neo Arcadia that is controlled by the X Empire. Apparently, you need to enter it, but there are too many soilders of the X Empire. You'll have to infiltrate it. Exit the World Fortress and head north until you get to a small fortress. Enter it.
Part Two: Crossing The Border
You're in the 20X6 Central Border Fortress. There is a guard standing in the corner. Talk to him. He will tell you that there is an underground train leaving to the north in twenty minutes. Choose to wait in the bording area, and a train will come pick you up. Get on the train. The train will be attacked by Homeschool's army. Battle until you emerge above ground. Then, go toward the open window and choose to jump out of the train. You will find yourself in a field covered in snow. Continue to the left and follow the trail.
Part Three: Trail On Powdered Snow
Continue along the trail until it splits in half. First take the left path. There will be a strange fountain that contains fire. Find a torch on the ground and light it with fire from the fountain. Now go right. You will find Stinkoman frozen to square in a circular area. Use the torch to melt the ice. Stinkoman, now alright, will explain that you are in the Ice Zone, an area controlled by the X Empire. He will thank you for helping him and look for challenges. Look where the ice cube used to be to find a passageway into the ground.
Part Four: Crossing The Border, Part Two
The tunnel leads into a sewer-like area. A river flows through the center of the tunnel, with a pathway on both sides. Follow along the river. The enemies here are powerful, so watch out! At the end of the sewer, look for a star on the wall. Use cracker fist on it to reveal a hidden room. Climb up the ladder in the room to find yourself in the town square of Neo Arcadia.
Part Five: Infiltration Begin!
The townsfolk(blue-eyed Pantheons) are friendly, so feel free to talk to them and learn about the history of Neo Arcadia. When you are ready to continue, talk to the guard near the exit. He will tell you that Neo Arcadia is seperated into four districts: Closis, Dysis, Notus, and Exus. Each member of your party will try to liberate a different region of the city. Strong Bad will go to Dysis, Pom Pom to Notus, and Homestar and Homsar to Exus. You are in Closis, which all of your other characters will stay in. If you have at least two secret characters, they will be successful in liberating the district. This may be of use later.
Part Six: Infiltrating Dysis
You will not have to do any fighting at all for this part of the quest. You will see Dysis from an overhead view. It looks a lot like a maze. The layout is simple, so you should be able to navigate it pretty easily. Watch out for enemies. If you are seen by an enemy, it will start to run toward you. You have forty points at the start. For every time an enemy touches you, you will lose two points. When you run out of points, you fail to liberate the region.
Part Seven: Infiltrating Notus
Notus is the same as Dysis, with a few differences. The region is a wide, open area, with a few nooks to hide in. This is much harder than Dysis, unless you know the trick. Go to the circular stone. Jump, and you will go extremely high and land on a catwalk. Walk on the catwalk to the exit, and you will have liberated Notus!
Part Eight: Train Ride!
You will first see a cutscene of Homestar and Homsar at the train station. Homsar is forced to ride on the roof to avoid suspicion. You will control Homsar as he makes his way to the front of the train. This may seem simple, but it's not. If you look over the edge of the train, you can see a conversation between Homestar and a Pantheon guard. Remember what they say, and go to the front of the train.
Part Nine: Train Ride, Part Two!
Now, you will have to recreate the conversation that you witnessed earlier. If you do perfect, the train ride will go smoothly. If you don't, you will have to fight lots of enemies. Get to the front of the train and meet up with Homestar.
Part Ten: Infiltration End!
Your party members will meet up in front of Exus. If you have liberated a region, then you can go back to that region any time. There are some good treasures lying around. You can't liberate Exus yet, you'll have to wait for the next mission.
