Required Equipment

Before setting out, assemble the essential gear: carry a Ladder for bridging gaps, a Climbing Anchor for stabilizing steep sections, a Blood Bag to replenish stamina when needed, and basic healing supplies for emergencies. All other noncritical valuables should remain secured in the Truck to avoid loss during the rescue.

Preparing Your Loadout

Minimize carried weight by storing every nonessential item inside the Truck at base camp. Retain only the Ladder, Climbing Anchor, Blood Bag, and emergency healing supplies. This light setup reduces stamina expenditure and prevents dropping high‑value items when retrieving the Adventurer.

Reaching the Starting Point

Navigate the marked route toward the Snowy Mountain base in the Truck, proceeding slowly to accommodate decreasing visibility at higher elevations. Monitor battery levels vigilantly and deploy any stored emergency charge module if depletion threatens to strand the vehicle. Disembark at the point where further vehicular travel risks a runaway descent.

Ascending the Mountain

With minimal load, maintain a steady climb by holding L2 and R2 to preserve balance and stamina, tapping X intermittently to boost speed without fully depleting energy reserves. Exercise caution near sharp ridges and steep inclines, as falls can scatter carried items down the slope and compromise mission success.

Navigating Low Visibility

At higher elevations, whiteout conditions can make it hard to see the way. It's essential to check the onboard map often to make sure you're still on the safe climb route. Don't take any unnecessary side trips; the established path goes straight to the ridge with a view of the last known location of the Adventurer.

Locating the Adventurer

Upon entering the mission zone, activate scanning mode to reveal a faint blue outline indicating the Adventurer's location amidst rocky outcrops. Advance slowly while scanning to detect the silhouette and ensure that no mission‑critical items have rolled too far down the mountain.

Securing and Transporting the Adventurer

Once you see the Adventurer, make sure they are firmly strapped to your back and go back up the path you took to get there. Use the Ladder and Climbing Anchor as needed to keep your balance stable. To save energy, keep your load light as you descend.

Returning to Base

The downhill gradient requires significantly less energy; leverage gravity to conserve battery charge during the return to the Truck. Upon arrival, load the Adventurer and depart immediately to the base facility. Adherence to this methodical approach ensures an efficient rescue and an S‑tier mission rating.
