Steel Factory
Chapter Overview
The Steel Factory is the domain of Machinedramon, one of the fearsome Dark Masters. This mechanized nightmare is filled with deadly traps, security systems, and machine-type Digimon. You'll navigate through conveyor belts, automated defense systems, and industrial hazards as you push deeper into the heart of the factory. This chapter marks a significant difficulty spike - preparation is essential.
Part 1: Infiltrating the Steel Factory
Arrival at Machine City
Your team arrives at the outskirts of Machine City. The landscape is dominated by metal structures, smokestacks, and the ominous Steel Factory looming in the distance. A cutscene reveals Machinedramon's surveillance network scanning the area.
Navigate the Outer Perimeter
Move through the industrial wasteland toward the main factory entrance. Watch out for security cameras and laser grids.
Disable the First Security Terminal
Find and hack the security terminal to open the factory gates. You'll need to solve a circuit puzzle - connect the power nodes to the output terminals.
Enter the Factory Main Hall
Once inside, you'll encounter the massive assembly lines and industrial machinery. Be careful of moving platforms and steam vents.
Part 2: The Assembly Line Gauntlet
Navigate the Conveyor Belt System
Traverse a complex series of conveyor belts moving in different directions. You'll need to time your movements to avoid being crushed by hydraulic presses.
Mini-Boss: Andromon
At the end of the assembly line, you'll face Andromon, the factory's chief security officer.
Use special attacks to bypass his high defense. Keep HP above 50% to survive his Lightning Blade attack.
Access the Central Tower
After defeating Andromon, take the industrial elevator up to the Central Tower. Stock up on supplies from the vending machine here.
Part 3: The Core Chamber
Reach the Factory Core
The top of the Central Tower leads to the Factory Core - a massive energy reactor that powers the entire facility. The heat here is intense, and environmental damage ticks every few seconds.
Deactivate the Energy Barriers
Three energy barriers block your path to Machinedramon's chamber. You need to destroy the power generators in each section.
- Northern Generator - Protected by 2 Megidramon
- Eastern Generator - Surrounded by laser grids
- Southern Generator - Requires solving a power distribution puzzle
Prepare for Machinedramon
With all barriers down, you can access the final chamber. There's a save point here - use it! Make sure your team is fully healed and equipped.
- Team at Level 42+ (Level 45+ highly recommended)
- Stock at least 5 Mega Recovery and 3 Revival Capsules
- Equip Water/Thunder attack chips
- Have at least 2 Digimon with Water or Thunder special attacks
- Defensive buffs or DEF+ items equipped
Part 4: Boss Battle - Machinedramon
Enter Machinedramon's Chamber
As you enter, a dramatic cutscene plays. Machinedramon, the mechanical dragon and Dark Master, awakens from standby mode. His massive form dominates the arena, bristling with weapons and armor. He recognizes you as threats and initiates battle protocols.
Machinedramon Battle Strategy
- • Giga Cannon: Massive energy cannon (~280 damage to single target)
- • Dragon Fire: Flame breath hitting 2-3 targets (~250 damage each)
- • Infinity Hand: Mechanical arms attack twice (~200 damage each hit)
- • Catastrophe Blast: Ultimate weapon discharge, AoE attack (~350 damage to all)
Phase 1 (100-50% HP):
Behavior: Rotates between Giga Cannon, Dragon Fire, and Infinity Hand. Focuses on single-target and small AoE attacks.
Strategy: Focus exclusively on Water and Thunder special attacks - physical attacks barely scratch his armor. Maintain HP above 60% at all times. If anyone drops below 50%, heal immediately. Spread your attacks across multiple Digimon to maintain consistent damage.
Phase 2 (50-0% HP):
Behavior: Enters critical mode. Catastrophe Blast becomes available and will be used every 3-4 turns. Attack frequency increases dramatically.
Strategy: This is an extremely dangerous phase. ALL party members must maintain 70%+ HP minimum. When you see the charging animation, use defensive items or guard stance. After surviving Catastrophe Blast, immediately heal all party members. Continue using your strongest Water/Thunder attacks. Don't hold back - use your ultimate skills.
Critical Warning: Catastrophe Blast can wipe your entire team if you're not prepared. Have Revival Capsules ready in case someone falls!
Part 5: Factory Shutdown
Victory Cutscene
With Machinedramon defeated, his massive form collapses. The factory's power systems begin to fail, and emergency lights flash throughout the facility. Your team has dealt a major blow to the Dark Masters' forces.
Escape the Factory
Make your way back through the facility as it begins to shut down. You have 5 minutes to escape before the self-destruct sequence completes.
Chapter Complete!
Congratulations on defeating Machinedramon! Two of the four Dark Masters have now fallen. Your team escapes the factory and regroups to plan the next assault. The path to Net Ocean opens up for Chapter 7.
