I continue to the top of the Central Factory, with another boss fight along the way.

I make, and then use, the bomb.

I need to make a bomb to get through a door.

I end up taking on a couple optional fights – one even has a side quest.

I make it to the Mechonis Central Factory.

I go through some Heart-to-Heart conversations I’ve unlocked.

We try to approach the Sniper Faced Mechon.

I start on another set of Double Locks.

We have a candid conversation between Sharla and Reyn.

We find a secret area with a shop & quest-giver.

I start a side-quest I’ve accumulated the items for a later stage of.

We get outside further up the leg.

I continue scaling the leg.

I make it to the Lower Bulkhead Bridge.

I continue scaling the tower.

I return to making my way through Mechonis’ lower levels.

I continue some monster-hunting side quests.

I take on a few side-quests to deal with rampaging Mechon.

I make my way to the next area.
