I did a bit more shopping in Beyond Good & Evil, including getting a Neutralizing Cannon, since it’s about the only thing that costs pearls that I can afford right now. I found an area in the city with a bunch of conveyer belts and force fields, but not much came of it aside from earning a pearl. I also found a place called the Vorax Lair, where there were a couple simple puzzles and a monster carrying another pearl.

After that I finally headed to the factory, using the Neutralizing Cannon to get rid of the guard robot that had prevented the hovercraft from approaching it before. I’ll have to remember to go back and use it on them in a few other places, too. In the factory, the main goal is to photograph a few specific areas, but so far I’ve found a ranged weapon, rescued a resistance agent named Double-H, and fought a boss monster called a Reaper. It was a fairly easy fight though, since as long as I was ready to nail it with the ranged weapon as soon as he finished leaping around, he never got a chance to counterattack.

I then got the main elevator working, so I can head to the upper floors, but that’ll wait for tomorrow.
