Unlike the above 4 parts, you aren’t so lucky with these chests here. These are scattered across various missions.
- Mission – Tunnel Sabotage
- IA-C01W1 Nebula Plasma Rifle: Head into the tunnel, go down deeper and you will find a few enemies near the second waypoint. Take care of them and reach the marker. Now go ahead and land on the bridge with yellow lines on the side. Turn left and fly upwards to the darker bridge. Go left and take care of the enemies on the ground. Then go up and destroy the mech here, behind it you can find the hidden crate.
- Mission – Survey the Uninhabited Floating City
- IA-C01G Aorta Generator: Follow the mission until you reach the second waypoint. You should be on a circular rooftop. Take care of the incoming enemies, then turn back and fly towards one of the nearby roofs. The hidden crate should be easy to spot.
- Mission – Eliminate “Honest” Brute
- WB-0010 Double Trouble Chainsaw: Reach the third waypoint, turn left, and keep going down the broken platforms. You should be closer to red lasers now. The chest should be right in front of you now.
- BC-0600 12345 Booster: Continue down after the first chest. Make your way to the platform you should find a few enemies here. At the end, you can find the crate on top.
- WB-0000 Bad Cook Flamethrower: Progress the mission until you see the green energy field. Fly inside it and destroy the enemies in the room. Follow the waypoint and you will see red lasers below.
Chapter 4
Lastly, you can find the last two parts in chapter 4, just like the above chests, these two are also located in two different missions.
- Mission – Underground Exploration – Depth 1
- IA-C01L Ephemera Legs: Start the mission and progress until you can go down the shaft. Once you get there, destroy the enemies here. You will be ready to progress further when you get a new waypoint and can use the access point. Go to the back of the room and you will get the chest with these Legs parts.
- Mission – Reach the Coral Convergence
- Moonlight Blade: During this mission defeat the ACs and MTs in the ruined city to get a new waypoint. Make your way towards it and then cross the bridge to fight another enemy. Reach the end of the bridge and then jump down on the left. You will find 3 more enemies guarding the chest. Defeat them and open the chest to get the Moonlight Blade. Don’t forget to complete the mission otherwise finding this sword won’t be of much use.
