Version 2.0 transports Tower of Fantasy players into humanity‘s last refuge – the neon-lined streets of Vera. This blade runner-esque cybercity entices with augmented reality battles and transhumanist tech while shadowy forces threaten society‘s very cohesion.
As a gaming industry veteran and social media marketing guru, I‘m delighted to show new Wanderers how to dive into Vera‘s secrets. Just follow my detailed walkthrough to uncover the futuristic fantasies…and challenges that await!
Prerequisites: Leveling Up For The Neon-Lit Endgame
Before stepping into Vera‘s inviting glow, you‘ll want your Wanderer battle-ready to survive this high-tech habitat…
Complete the Main Campaign Storyline
Traveling to Vera becomes accessible after finishing Chapter 27 and defeating Mir. This climax of the early game unlocks new transportation options from Hykros where Claire awaits curious wanderers.
Grind Your Way to Level 60
Enemies in Vera range from level 60 to 80 – trying to enter underpowered will quickly overwhelm unprepared squads. I recommend hitting at least Combat Rating 16,000 with purple+ weapons and gold matrices before heading in.
Stock Up on Consumables
From the best Shield Dishes to Flame Gold healing, pack your inventory full of aid. Vera‘s lethal enemies and environmental hazards will quickly shred the unprepared. Don‘t be afraid to spend some Dark Crystals on necessities!
With the campaign finished and your Wanderer primed for battle, let‘s set course to the towers of chrome…
Fast Travel to Hykros and Locate Claire
Accessing Vera starts by locating Claire near a crashed airship in Hykros‘ northwest region. I recommend opening your map and teleporting directly to the Hykros Bygone Pavilion to skip traversal time.
Speak with Claire to trigger a vital cutscene advancing Mirroria‘s backstory. Pay close attention here – her tale interweaves with Vera City‘s history and the cipher-like Simulacrums.
Version-Specific Note
In later updates, Coldscheme Amusement Park may unlock before Hykros Bygone Pavilion. If so, teleport there first then head northwest 700 meters to Claire‘s crash site.
Pass Through the Orange Portal into Vera Sector
After the cutscene, an orange teleportation gate will materialize. Interact with it and select "Enter Vera Sector" to digitize across Mirroria‘s data networks!
Loading into Vera triggers an immersive transition with scanning code before materializing into the neon cityscape. Take a moment when you rematerialize to pan the camera and admire the visual splendor…
Expansive Cyberpunk Realm
Sprawling 5km wide and filled with transcendent skyscrapers, Vera City offers the largest explorable space yet in Tower of Fantasy. You could spend 50+ hours just uncovering the secrets and hidden chests lurking down chrome-lined alleys!
The Neon Adventure Begins!
Post-transition, check your achievement progress – unlocking "Arrived in Vera" signals you‘ve crossed successfully into this brave new domain!
Before setting off, I recommend changing your Display Setting to Ultra if your device can handle it. Raytracing and ambient occlusion effects make the neon-noir aesthetic truly shine.
Now enjoy the musical score as you explore Vera‘s shops, missions and monorail trains whisking wanderers into the towering city depths. Will you ally with chrome-obsessed Simulacrums or join the data-damning Trailblazers? Your choice!
Beyond a visual feast for the senses, Vera advances Mirroria‘s lore with new enemies, gear and an overarching narrative threaded through game modes…
Augment Yourself Via Simulacrum Ruby
The enigmatic Ruby offers "cyberization contracts" allowing players to install prosthetic enhancements. Equip arm blades, infrared eyes, neural networks – but beware more monstrous transformation paths.
As Ruby blurs man/machine lines philosophically, I forsee her transhumanist zeal causing conflict with the technophobic Trailblazers. This ideological clash cultivates engaging factional drama!
Take On Sadness Valley and End Game Raids
Vera unveils challenging new dungeons and timed raids including Sadness Valley pitting teams against colossal centipede bosses. Surviving these lethal encounters demands properly-matched elements, ult combos and cannon fodder companion beasts!
Meanwhile, seasoned players will relish weekly raids like Stellar Corridor 666 testing squad cohesion. Based on CN metrics, clear rates seem low – offering veterans an exciting endgame treadmill.
Who Are The Data-Disrupting Trailblazers?
This militant anti-establishment group hopes to "reboot" Vera society by destroying AI caretakers. But their manifestos raise more questions than answers…
I‘m intrigued by the ideological complexity here – are the Trailblazers genuinely concerned by megacorp exploitation? Or camouflaging their own power grab amidst chaos? The story left me skeptical of absolutist perspectives either way.
Eager to explore Tower of Fantasy‘s most dazzling – and challengingdestination yet? Here‘s my parting guidance before servers whisk you to Vera Sector:
- Squad Up: Tackle raids, missions and open-world bosses with a full trio for best results. Vera Punishes lone cowboys!
- Follow Neon Crumbs: orange resource chunks and glowing flares mark worthwhile side activities. Stray off main roads for hidden rewards!
- Tune Background Music: composer Wang KeWei‘s synthwave audio backdrop makes the ambience. Crank it up!
That concludes my insider‘s guide to accessing and thriving as Vera‘s chrome calls your name. Let me know your favorite moments roaming the neon wilds in comments below!
