LOST in LISA: tour guide

Overview

Don’t know where to go? Forgot where that merchant was? Misplaced a companion? This covers all that.

PREFACE & PURPOSE

This is a light guide for LISA. It doesn’t cover secrets or story event flags, only what’s really necessary to navigate through the game without getting lost or stuck.

Bonfire present random event item list is now complete.

Locations are listed in the direction and order in which you come across them. In situations of route divide, I use an asterisk and linebreak.

On every area hub, I’ve listed in spoiler tags what you’re suppose to be doing and where you can go to accomplish this.

I’ve included an inventory list for all merchants. All items sell for 50% value to vendor. For who can use particular items, use my companion guide.

TIP: Use the Shift key to cycle through your gang when buying weapons and armor.

Area and specific recruitment details are listed. For abilities and general usefulness, I made a separate guide. You can sometimes miss out on companions by flagging or not flagging certain events.

Appended to the end of this guide is a list of random encounters. Good if you are low on magazines or just recruited a low level companion.

2. Field
3. Apocalypx-Games

5. Flammable Orphans

AREA ORDER:Rando camp, field, apocalypx-games.
AREA GOAL:Retrieve firebombs, kill a mutant to receive a bicycle, use both to reach and defeat a boss to save a man who can repair the bridge.

TIP: Take advantage of the save point and tent being so close together. Save before sleeping to save scum around RNG stat decreasing events. For information on bonfire random events, check out the party switching and resting section.

On the hangman screen prior to the hub, if you’ve a bicycle, you can access a vendor in the mountain.

They will not reappear anywhere else. Use a higher ground route around them if you need to make it to the blockade and do not wish the villagers to be killed.

– SHARDY’S ISLAND TOURS

While standing next to Shardy, select and use the map from your key items screen. Shardy has a crap memory and no pockets, so you must do this every time you want to go there.

Consists of 5 rounds. The first 4 rounds provide 1000 XP and a small amount of magazines. Upon completion, you will receive the Tag Team Title Belt (+6 ATK, +22 DEF, +24 S.ATK, -12 AGI.)

You aren’t penalized for wiping, repeatable. Grants 2000 XP, 0-35 magazines.

If you need to switch party members, just head over to the small village and use the poster there. To throw matches as Brad, spam horse stance. It’s more efficient than guard..

PARTY SWITCHING AND RESTING

You can switch party members out at party posters. Max party size is 4. There are 9 posters throughout Olathe.

• Area One: Village
• Area One: Apocalypx-Games
• Area One: Rando Camp
• Area Two: Construction
• Area Two: Desert
• Area Two: Drive-Thru Mountain
• Area Two: Karate Village
• Transition Two
• Area Three: Pleasant Field

You can rest for free at campfires. Here are the possible things that can happen to you.

• Farted on (does nothing.)
• Creeped on (does nothing.)
• Have a joy mask put on (does nothing.)
• Threatening note (does nothing.)
• Party member kidnapped, ransomed (100/200 mags, Blue Rockets/Pretty Boys.)
• Have a current party member abandon you.
• Poisoned/deep poisoned.
• Item theft (jerky, perfume.)
• Magazine theft (20.)
• Present (mystery jerky, fancy perfume, firebomb, joy, old sock.)
• Gale Motorcycle Club event (Area Three campfire only, member permanently lost.)

There is a tent in Area One where you can rest for free. You may suffer a stat-decreasing random event however. You will permanently lose 10 health and 10 luck.

There are also two inns where for 10 magazines you can rest and have nothing bad happen to you. One is at Area One: Rando Camp (inside a tent) and another is Area Two: Construction.

When you’ve reached the EWC, you may rest safely and freely at the bed there any time after the first bout.

RANDOM ENCOUNTERS & FARMING

This is an excellent early farming area. If you get low on health or SP, simply use the save point and tent right outside. Even when XP given seems low, you are still receiving 10 magazines and items. Mystery jerky sells for 5 magazines, diet cocola cola for 2. Mob can be killed in one 350+ dmg hit making this go very fast.

While XP given is more than Shadowy Figures, snakes drop nothing, have two phases, and can poison you. Poison can be cured by cigarettes but there is no one in game that sells them.

Exactly the same as the other shadow hallway.

Snakes here cast a higher level poison but otherwise function the same. They give more XP but still drop nothing.

Out of the way, drops no items and less magazines than shadowy figures. Also higher stats and casts more debuffs. Not suggested.

You aren’t penalized for wiping, repeatable. Grants 2000 XP, 0-35 magazines, no items. Best place to grind XP but opens very late in the game.

DOJOS

There are 4 dojos in Olathe. By completing the dojo master’s challenge, you receive a consumable scroll that can be used on one character. Check your key items.

• AREA ONE: VILLAGE
• AREA TWO: CONSTRUCTION
• AREA TWO: DESERT
• AREA THREE: BLOOD FOREST

PAIN MODE & SAVE POINTS

Pain mode can be activated after defeating the dog tormenting Terry. When this mode is activated, save points become one-use and disappear. New mobs, bosses and an area also open up when you’re in pain mode. I have listed save points below. There are 36 in total. Please tell me if I missed any.
