So, you just won the Novice League Tournament, and you're a Metro City town hero. Life is good, right? Unfortunately, the good times don't last long in World Tour. Just when you thought you could walk away from the Bosch drama, it pulls you right back in!
Still, a little drama isn't a bad thing, especially when you meet FOUR ORIGINAL WORLD WARRIORS! If you thought World Tour mode was fan service before, wait until you've played Chapter 8. (Oh, and you'll fight refrigerators, too. But more on that later.)
Chapter 8 - 1: A Toast To Victory
Li-Fen reached a significant breakthrough with the encrypted memory card data while you kicked ass in the Novice League tournament. Head to 🌊Chinatown and grab some shaobing to get the 411.
Step 1: Fight Jamie
On your way to Bao Bao Bro, you'll walk in on Jamie taking down some Canary Crate ne'er-do-wells. After all, he is the "neighborhood peacekeeper." Unfortunately, he'll assume you're also a gang member and initiate a fight.
Unlike earlier matches, like the Juri fight, the match with Jamie is more balanced and easier to win. One stellar way to catch him off guard is to punish him whenever he goes for a drink from his flask.
Once the misunderstanding gets resolved, you'll become friends with Jamie. However, you won't be able to study under him yet.
Step 2: Talk To Li-Fen
Li-Fen will reveal that the data key contains three photos from around Metro City featuring posters containing random letters and numbers. These v🐈ital posters form a mysterious contact number you must unlock on your ♓smartphone.
Rewards:
- Flight Ticket x 5
Chapter 8 - 2: Tracking The Mystery Code
After your conversation with Li-Fen, she'll send you the rest of the poster photos to your phone. All that's left to do is collect the posters.
Step 1: Collect The Posters
You'll find the posters in the following locations marked on your map:
- Bayside Park
- Construction Site near Baller Mando
- Westbay Promenade
You can use the poster clu𒊎es to enter the passcode or follow the next step below.
Step 2: Enter The Passcode
Rewards:
- 8,000 Zenny
- Mighty Jawdestroyer x 5
Chapter 8 - 3: The Elusive Former National Champ
Your new anonymous contact, Asterisk, will ask if you're Bosch. Once you confirm you're not him, Asterisk will offer you information regarding Bosch in exchange for intel on various Street Fighters. The first fighter on Asterisk's list? A former National Martial Arts Champ.
Step 1: Enter The SiRN Construction Site
To enter the SiRN construction site, you must have a Safety Helmet equipped with your gear. You can get a Safety Helmet by completing the "Safety First" sub-mission or purchasing one for 2,000 Zenny at the Kiss Ache Away store near Urban Park.
Talk to Nia at the entrance while wearing your helmet to enter the site.
Step 2: Meet Ken Masters
When you enter the construction site, a cutscene will occur where you will push someone out of the way from a falling beam. Ken will appear and deflect the beam away from you with a fiery kick.
Ken will enter the left scaffolding tower at the cutscene's end.
Step 3: Defeat Gus
But, of course, you can't stroll wherever you want on the construction site. To enter Ken's scaffolding tower, you must prove your strength to Gus, a worker guarding the scaffolding's entrance. Defeat him to enter the tower.
Step 4: Snap A Photo Of Ken
You'll find Ken on the scaffolding's second floor. Once you approach him, a blue marker will appear, signaling you to enter your smart device's camera app. After opening the app, select "Mission Mode" and take the photo.
Send this intel to Asterisk, and they'll direct you toward your next mark.
Master Opportunity: Ken
How would you like to learn from a champion? Talk to Ken and request you become his student. Then, you'll both enter a match so he can gauge your strengths and weaknesses. You'll become Ken's student after completing the match and the following cutscene.
Rewards:
- 1,000 Miles
- Lukewarm Beer x 1
Chapter 8 - 4: Big In Japan
Asterisk's next assignment directs you toward a fighter from Japan. However, with multiple Japanese fighters in this game, that's not the clearest request.
Step 1: Snap A Photo Of E. Honda
Your first instinct is to take a snapshot of a famous sumo wrestler living in Metro City. Visit the Sumo Restaurant near Urban Park to viewꦿ a cutscene introducing the one and only Edmond Honda!
Once the cutscene is over, go to the designated photo spot and follow the same steps from Chapter 8 - 3. Unfortunately, once you send the photo to Asterisk, they'll reveal it wasn't the fighter they sought.
Master Opportunity: E. Honda
Ready to become a professional sumo wrestler? Talk to E. Honda and request you become his student. You'll enter an awesome cutscene where the two of you duke it out in the sumo ring! After this initiation, you'll enroll in his style.
Step 2: Snap A Photo Of Ryu
Your conversation with Asterisk will direct you to Genbu Temple, thus unlocking it on the World Map. Fly over there to meet Street Fighter's legendary protagonist, Ryu!
After a fantastic cutscene that may make you cry (Just me? Okay.), Ryu will sit down to meditate. Use this opportunity to snap a mission photo of him. When you send the picture to Asterisk, they'll confirm he is the warrior they wanted.
Master Opportunity: Ryu
The time has come to enter the "heart of battle." Speak with Ryu and request to become his student. You'll fight in a match to convince him to take you on as a mentee.
After the match, you and Ryu will enter a disciplined training session (seriously, it's an awe-inspiring moment!). When this cutscene ends, you'll become his student.
Rewards:
- 5,000 Zenny
Chapter 8 - 5: Meeting at the SiRN Building
Your last target will take some additional steps to meet. Specifically, you must enter a high-security building and commit identity theft. ꦚ(NBD, really).
Step 1: Get The SiRN Key Card
This mission is straightforward. Travel to the SiRN construction site and speak with Jonathan, the SiRN security guard in the blue shirt with the yellow tie. He's working with Asterisk and will hand over the card to you.
Rewards:
- Flight Ticket x 5
Chapter 8 - 6: Scraping The Sky
Now that you have a SiRN key card, you can nab the materials you need to impersonate a SiRN researcher. To complete this mission, you must grab a lab coat and a SiRN staff name tag.
Step 1: Get Into The SiRN Building
First, head to your hangout and wait until Night time. Then, you can🅷 enter the Night Shift area of the construction site that leads to the SiRN offices. Here are the step-by-step 💦instructions:
- Enter the construction site and turn right to enter the Night Shift area.
- Head upstairs and fight Gus to cross the bridge to the next platform.
- Drop off the bridge and make three right turns until you find the yellow power box. Turn on the box to power up the cranes.
- Head back from whence you came and climb the two metal slab piles to return to the Night Shift entrance.
- Cross the bridge and climb the ladder at the end of the room, located on the right.
- Check your key card at the SiRN reader around the corner. A crane will move a platform in front of the STOP line.
- Step on the crane platform and travel to the next scaffolding tower.
- Run to the back of the tower and climb the ladder to the next floor. Then, follow the ramps up the tower until you reach the next SiRN reader.
- Check-in at the SiRN reader. Then climb the ladder to the next floor and head onto the crane platform past the STOP line.
- You'll encounter three poisonous drones on your way to the SiRN building. Use anti-air attacks like Shoryuken or Rising Uppercut to defeat them quickly.
- Now you can enter the Base Server Room located on the right.
Step 2: Get The Lab Coat
Continue ascending the SiRN office floors to get to the Lab Coat. It's located in a SiRN chest in the 2nd Floor Office. Speak to SiRN Staff Grace to help you find it.
Step 3: Upgrade Your Security Clearance
You must upgrade your security clearance before you can access the elevator that reaches other SiRN floors. This requires a login from a desktop located in the 3rd Floor Office.
However, when you reach the 3rd Floor Office, you'll encounter Kimberly. She, too, is breaking into SiRN for unknown reasons. You must defeat her in a match to continue with the mission. Once you win, she'll deactivate the security alarm for you, thus making your upgrade much more manageable.
Now, ap🐈proach this desktop to🤪 complete the upgrade.
Step 4: Get The Staff Name Tag
Use your new security clearance to ride the elevator to the 5th floor. Then, speak with SiRN Staff Liu, who happens to be missing his name card. He'll ponder if he left it in the server room, which provides your next lead.
Head down to the 3rd Floor Server Room, and you'll see an AI Refrigerator. Approach the refrigerator to𒊎 begin an intense boss battle!
This three-on-one match pits you against the fridge, a drone, and a Hyoomba. In addition, the Shock Zone gimmick is in play. This means you'll get electrocuted if you get caught between the two electrical prods when they descend on screen.
Once you defeat the fridge, you'll obtain the Name Card, thus accomplishing your goal.
At this point, you've fought plenty of Hyoombas and attack drones. But what about AI Refrigerators? These opponents are tricky. Refrigerators have plenty of armor that absorbs most attacks. The key to beating the fridge is to cross it right before it starts hurling food at you. Then, strike it from the back. If you hit the fridge during its projectile attack, you'll trigger Pressure Time.
Step 5: Leave The SiRN Building
All that's left to do is to leave the SiRN building via Fast Travel. We don't know how a bus can transport you from inside a third-story building to the street below. But we won't look a gift horse in the mouth.
Rewards:
- 7,000 Miles
- Street Fiber (Head) x 1
Chapter 8 - 7: High-Flying Man
So, what is the purpose of all this lab researcher cosplay? You'll soon discover that you must infiltrate a US government aircraft carrier. Who knew federal crimes were on the docket today?
Step 1: Meet Jonathan At The Construction Site
Equip the lab coat and meet Jonathan, the security guard, at the same spot you met him in Chapter 8 - 5. He'll check over your look and give you the go-ahead for the rest of the mission. Your next stop is a US Navy aircraft carrier.
Step 2: Talk To Officer Curtis
Now that you're in disguise, and cleared to proceed, head to the Grace Marina and speak to Officer Curtis. Since you're posing as a SiRN researcher, he'll brief you on a maintenance job regarding SiRN's AI cleaning bots assigned to the Aircraft Carrier Byron Taylor. Then, he'll welcome you aboard.
Step 3: Complete The Maintenance Job
When you arrive on the aircraft carrier, you'll see that the AI cleaning bots have become very aggressive. So, it's your job to get them under control. Your next battle is against two rampaging Hyoombas and one rampaging drone. Fortunately, you'll face them one at a time.
After the battle, a cutscene will occur as your avatar tries to take down the last nasty Hyoomba. Luckily, a famous soldier will enter in the nick of time and flash-kick that sucker clean in half! Yes, we're talking about Guile.
Step 4: Snap A Photo Of Guile
Finally, find the proper position and use your camera's Mission Mode to get a snapshot of Guile to send to Asterisk. Asterisk will confirm Guile's identity, and thank you for your intel collection.
While Asterisk will not have more intel ready yet, they will invite you to visit Bosch's home country of Nayshall. This begins the next chapter.
Master Opportunity: Guile
Like the other masters in this chapter, there are no hoops to jump through to get Guile to become your teacher. If you approach him with the request, he'll oblige. After all, how could he refuse one of Luke's students?
Rewards:
- 5,000 Zenny
- Wrench x 1
