The Forbidden Area can only be accessed once the Life of Scavengers side quest becomes available. This particular side quest can be found in Xion, but it cannot be started unless players do a few other missions. These involve:

Once you have met the requirements, the Life of Scavengers should appear.

If you still can't find it on the bulletin board, check if there is a marker for a new mission near Enya and Su's bar.

Subsequently, head to the location and talk to the man on the stairs. He will reveal that his partner got lost in the Forbidden Area. He will want you to check on him. Once the quest starts, players will be able to access the Forbidden Area.

From there, go left until you see a rope. Use it to descend. Keep going until you reach the floor. Approach the locked gate, and a Brute will immediately jump out.

The enemy is very dangerous. It has a plethora of different moves, so it might take a while to get accustomed to the attack patterns. For the majority of the fight, players will have to perfect parry and perfect dodge its attacks. When it starts to glow red, it will launch a barrage of attacks. Try to perfect parry all of them, and it should bring you one step closer to breaking the Brute's defense. Once it is staggered, press the Triangle button to deal a great deal of damage to it. After defeating the Brute, enter the tunnel and open the chest to claim the following rewards:

  • Perfect Combat Gear
  • Damaged Weapon Core
  • Sporty Yellow Nano Suit
  • Tommy's Testament

Next, players need to head back to Xion, where they can unlock the locked chest near Sister's Junk. It contains some material for crafting Nano Suits. Finally, go back to the man who requested EVE to find his partner to complete the mission.
