Factions Overview – The Hyenas‘ Role in Tower of Fantasy

Tower of Fantasy takes place in the distant future on the planet Aida, where three warring factions vie for control over dwindling resources and lost relics of an ancient alien civilization. These factions play a key role in the game‘s story:

• Hykros – The authoritarian rulers obsessed with law and order

• Hyenas – Technophile scavengers always seeking lost relics

• NORN – Mysterious organization plotting against the others

The Hyenas Faction

The anarchic Hyenas thrive in the neon coastal city of Navia, where they live to scavenge powerful tech and relics. They are led by the Hyena Queen and divided into subgroups like the Jackals, Lions, and Vultures.

The Hyenas reject the law and order of Hykros, using hacking, salvage diving, and relic-powered mechs to maintain their independence. Entering their well-defended Navia Base is key to learning more about the Hyenas‘ goals and operations.

Prerequisites – Activate the Mission at the Oil Rig

Before you can start the "Enter Hyenas‘ Navia Base" mission, you first need to visit the initial Hyena Oil Rig site located offshore east of Banges. Here you can find a computer terminal along the rig‘s perimeter that must be interacted with to trigger the necessary missions to unlock the Navia Base.

If you sail up to the Navia Base entrance and get an error message like "Unable to search target in free exploration mission," this indicates you need to backtrack and activate the mission at the oil rig computer first.

With the mission computer accessed, you can then begin your search for the distant Navia base along the coast northwest of Banges.

Locating the Hidden Base Entrance

The Hyenas‘ Navia Base is extremely well-hidden offshore along a remote stretch of rocky coast northwest of Banges. Here are the steps to pinpoint its location:

1. Head to the northwest coast of Navia Bay until you reach the unoccupied seaside area.

2. Open your relics menu and select ‘Deploy‘

3. Equip the Jetboard relic in your active relic slot.

4. Hop on your jetboard and start skimming across the sea towards the northwest horizon.

5. Keep an eye out for the tall struts and pipelines of the Hyenas‘ base emerging from the water in the distance.

The Hyenas‘ Navia Base location

Plan for a lengthy jetboard trip covering several kilometers of open water until the base comes into view. Be prepared to deal with roaming enemies like Jettishers, Water Kinna, and hostile robots who will try to knock you off your jetboard along the way.

Equip weapons like the Negating Pistol that work well while jetboarding to defend yourself during the approach. Utilize dodging and drifts to avoid attacks. Time your shots carefully while jetboarding at high speeds across the sea.

Comparing Jetboards for the Mission

There are three types of jetboards to choose from, each with their own traits:

Jetboard	Description
Driftblades	Balanced board good for tricks
Waveboards	Slower but more stable
Thunderblades	Very fast but harder to control

The Thunderblades will get you to the base fastest, but beginners may want to opt for the more controllable Waveboards. Equip the model that best fits your playstyle.

Gaining Entry to the Base

As you approach the Hyena‘s Navia Base exterior, you‘ll spot heavily armed Hyena Guards patrolling the perimeter docks. To gain access, you‘ll need to convince them you are here for the Hyenas Carnival through dialogue checks.

Here is the full guard conversation you‘ll need to navigate:

• Guard: "This is a restricted area, state your purpose!"

• Option 1: "I‘m here for the Hyenas Carnival."

• Guard: "Oh really? And what is so special about this carnival?"

• Option 2: "This is the seventh Hyenas Carnival."

• Guard: "You seem to know a lot about us, but what interest does your kind have in our carnival?"

• Option 3: "The Heirs of Aida of course."

Selecting the bottom dialogue options convinces the guard you can enter. Provide the wrong responses and you‘ll have to battle the guards and retry. Answer correctly and the guard says:

"You don‘t look like someone we would invite, but I guess you‘re one of our friends. Go ahead! Enjoy the Hyenas Carnival!"

Now you have access to enter and explore the inner complex. Be ready for lots of enemies and challenges inside!

Surviving the Base Interior

Upon entering the Hyenas‘ Navia Base, you‘ll face swarms of enemies determined to stop your progress. The labyrinthine floors are packed with patrolling Hyena Troopers, aerial Scorpion Drones, Gatling Turrets, and hulking Mech Battlesuits looking to blast you.

Here are some tips to overcome the base‘s defenders:

• Utilize the Shield Matrix and Gravity Manipulation relics to absorb damage.

• Equip AOE weapons like the Pummeler shotgun to damage groups.

• Target aerial drones first to avoid being overwhelmed.

• Destroy turrets from a distance or sneak past using stealth relics.

• Dodge mech attacks and target their weak points like fuel cells.

• Take advantage of elemental vulnerabilities by switching weapon types.

Learn enemy attack patterns and make use of the environment for cover to survive. Scavenge upgrade modules and weapon attachments in side rooms to grow stronger as you progress deeper.

Eventually you‘ll overcome the defenders and security systems to reach the Hyenas Carnival section itself.

Hyenas Carnival Activities and Rewards

After fighting your way through the base, you‘ll emerge into the sprawling Hyenas Carnival zone featuring bright neon theming. Here you can enjoy carnival games, rollercoasters, prizes, and special battles.

Carnival Game Booths

Test your skills at the shooting gallery, ring toss, stronger-hammer game, and boxing simulator for Hyena Coin prizes. These can be exchanged for items at prize booths.

Thrill Rides

Take a ride on the towering rollercoaster and swing ship for fun sequences and achievements.

Arena Challenges

Enter the arena to take on unique bosses and enemies for rare loot drops. Defeat all challengers to unlock achievements.

Story Significance of Infiltrating the Base

Your infiltration is a pivotal moment in Tower of Fantasy‘s overarching conflict. By sneaking into their Navia stronghold, you discover the Hyenas are aggressively hunting for a powerful relic to turn the tide of the faction wars.

This draws you into the escalating struggle for control over Aida‘s resources. You also learn about the various splinter factions like the Jackals, Lions, and Vultures vying for dominance within the Hyenas.

In addition, accessing their systems provides intelligence on the Hyenas‘ relic-powered weapons research and industrial capacity. Your infiltration deals a major blow that undermines their operations from within.

The risky raid also builds trust with NORN and Hykros, as you were able to acquire data and schematics extremely useful for their own war efforts. Your actions have major implications for the continued fight over Aida‘s future.
