Akra Missions (Second Visit)

After the events on Sithyrya, returning to Akra unlocks the second floor and a host of new quests, characters, and locations. The main conflict revolves around two powerful corporations, Biotech (led by Holoryx) and New Life (led by Nikolaos).

Accessing the Second Floor

To access the second floor, you first need to complete the A Battle for Power questline on the first floor. After the quest is resolved (either by siding with Galiano or Garth), you can use the main elevator in the commercial district to ascend. Upon your first visit, you will meet Holoryx, which triggers the Clash of Corporations main quest.

Zones of Akra (Second Floor)

The second floor is divided into several districts and key locations:

Commercial District

This is the central hub of the second floor.

• New Life Offices: The headquarters of Nikolaos's corporation. You will visit this location during the "Clash of Corporations" and "Save Seline's Son" quests.
• Biotech Offices: Holoryx's base of operations.
• Elevator: Provides access to the other floors of Akra.

The Pulse Nightclub

A popular nightclub on the second floor.

• Meet DJ Kafka: You can interact with the DJ.
• Fun Scene (Dominant Roles): If you have high respect in Akra, you can find a submissive patron in the dark room. This leads to a scene where you can dominate and engage in watersports with him.
• Fun Scene (Submissive Roles): If you have low respect, you may be cornered by a group of patrons in the dark room, leading to a gangbang scene.
• Meet Diego Cortes Can be either a Dominant or Submissive partner.

Thuul's Penthouse

You can visit the penthouse of Thuul, the Verdanti owner of an exotic food company. He offers repeatable hunting missions.

• Sand Wyvern Hunt: Thuul will pay you to hunt a Sand Wyvern. This unlocks a combat encounter.
• Fun Scene (Bottoms): If you are playing a bottom role, after completing a hunt, Thuul will offer a "special reward." Accepting leads to a detailed sexual encounter where he uses his plant-like appendages to explore your body.
• Fun Scene (Tops): If you are a top, you can choose to dominate Thuul. This involves a scene where you can use one of his own plant creatures (a "Grasper") to restrain him before engaging in a sexual encounter.

The Silky Blindfold

The Silky Blindfold (TSB) is an exclusive BDSM club run by Xperiment. You will visit this location as part of the Save Seline's Son quest.

• Meeting Xperiment: You must speak with Xperiment, the club's owner, to gain information about Levi. Your dialogue choices will affect your interaction.
• Fun Scene with Levi: After speaking with Xperiment, you will find Levi. You have the option to engage in a sexual encounter with him. The scene varies based on whether you are dominant or submissive. ** Dominant Route: You can choose to dominate Levi, leading to a scene where you fuck him. ** Submissive Route: You can allow Levi to dominate you.
• Freeing Levi: To free Levi, you must convince Xperiment.

Character Encounters & Stores

Zavx the Slave

You will first encounter Zavx in Thuul's penthouse on the second floor of Akra. He is the personal slave of Thuul, the Verdanti exotic food merchant.

To free him, you must speak to Thuul and select the dialogue option to discuss the slave. Thuul will initially be resistant. The only way to secure his freedom is by paying Thuul 10,000 GC.

Once you have paid, you can speak to Zavx and offer him a position on your crew.

• "You are free now. Good luck.": Zavx will thank you and leave, and you will not be able to recruit him later.

If you recruit Zavx, you can later find him in the dormitories on your ship to initiate a sexual encounter, with variations for top and bottom roles.
