Tips & preparation

• Kill alarm bots promptly; letting them summon help can multiply a pull.
• Bring Empty Leaden Collection Phials for the relevant radiation quest and use punch cards at their matching terminals.
• Avoid jumping to lower floors without agreeing on the route; recovery can require a long run back.
