Shadows of Rose: The Deep Stratum

From the village path down into the pit: six files on the way to the Purifying Crystal, then the last fight, the ending and the three difficulty trophies.

The last chapter is short. A path through the village leads to a giant core, and below it lie the six files of this chapter, all on the way down. The scene at the Purifying Crystal closes the chapter, and from there it runs straight through a chase and the final fight to the credits, so read every file before you reach it. Item spots are the Standard ones; supplies may differ on Hardcore.

No way back from the crystal

Following the Cavern path to the Purifying Crystal starts a scene that closes the Deep Stratum for this run; a chase, the last fight and the credits come straight after. Before you go on, read the six files of this chapter: in the Pit Laboratory, File: On This Realm and Its Laws, File: On Vessel Synthesis, File: Recently Written Report and File: On the Recreation and Manipulation of Memory; then File: Wearily Scrawled Note (Passageway) and File: Ritual Text (Cavern pedestal). The Typewriter: Pit Laboratory (optional) is the last save; restock there too.

You can now dodge, catch the glowing projectiles to refill your power, and use a strong power attack that stuns the boss (best after its spin attack): shoot it with the M1897 only while it is stunned, and pick up the handgun ammo that keeps appearing on the floor; near the end, help arrives for the last blow.

About this guide

Three runs of the main game: a full run for every collectible, a fast New Game+ run on Casual with only the knife, few healing items and little Lei spent, then New Game+ on Village of Shadows with the bonus weapons. The Mercenaries opens after the first credits. Shadows of Rose is a separate story from the main menu, played once on Hardcore. Each domain closes behind you as the story moves on, and the whole village closes before the last stretch, so take everything before each point of no return.
