Junk Heap

|---|---|
| 2 | Head to the complex and use the elevator to go to B2. |
Junk Heap – B2
| 1 | Start moving directly east to reach the room with the mine cart. Ride it through the section while attacking the enemies with magic. |
|---|---|
| 2 | Get off the cart and take the path west. Enter the door and through another one to reach the large room. |
| 3 | Defeat the large robot that appears in the middle of the room. Afterwards, deal with the smaller robots. |
| 4 | Exit through the west door and follow the path northwest (you can take out the robots that appear in the southern portion of the map to obtain materials if you want but it is not necessary). |
| 5 | Take out more of the robots along the way until you reach the furthest room. Go through the exit to the south to reach the next area. |
| 6 | Pass through the doors until you arrive at a large area with stairs going around a large pit in the middle. Kill off the robots as you make your way up the stairs. |
| 7 | Enter the door to the west at the top of the stairs. You will eventually reach another elevator. Use it to reach 1F. |
Junk Heap – 1F

|---|---|
| 2 | Drop down the hole and watch the cutscene. Afterwards, prepare to battle P-33 and Kalil. |
| 3 | Watch the cutscene. You will the Law of Robotics Key afterwards. |
Strategy
P-33 and Kalil
P-33 will perform a ground stop that creates a wide shockwave in the area (similar to P-32s). Jump over them and attack (to perform a jumping attack) to damage the boss. You can also pepper P-33 with ranged magic like Dark Lance (which can also destroy his orb projectiles) to deplete his health low enough for a cutscene to play.
After the cutscene, P-33 will fly up to throw debris on the battlefield. Avoid staying inside where the shadows of debris form on the ground to avoid getting hit from above. The boss will reappear and start throwing out an airborne charge attack that you can evade by moving or dodging to the side. When you have dealt enough damage, P-33 will fall to the ground, causing Kalil to fight in his stead. Kalil is very weak even when he summons shades to his aid. Focus all offense on him using melee and magic until the attack gauge appears. Finish him off to end the fight.

Thanks. I reached the elevator for 1F and thought I was going the wrong way. I was under the assumption down was the correct way to go.
