WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Episode 17 stage progression after unlocking
Main Theme → Episode 17 operation map.
Before you go
- Episode 17 unlocked by the currently applicable Global story gate.
- The next operation available on the chapter map.
- Sanity and a squad capable of meeting its clear condition.
Farming steps
- Open Episode 17 and identify the next available numbered operation.
- Inspect the stage map, enemies, and completion condition.
- Choose a squad that covers the previewed threats and objective.
- Use a Practice Plan if you need to test deployment before a live clear.
- Enter the operation and complete its displayed condition.
- Claim the results and return to the episode map.
- Continue to the next unlocked operation, or select a specific stage only after checking its rewards.
- Use the chapter map’s availability to guide progression; later operations may require earlier clears.
- Episode 17 progress persists after the temporary access promotion ends.
Repeat, collect and use
Story progression is completed once; cleared operations may be replayed while available for rewards shown in their previews.
Common mistakes
- Assuming the temporary access gate is permanent; the Global gate changes after October 28, 2026.
- Replaying a stage for a material not shown in its reward preview; verify before farming.
- Skipping the clear condition; prepare for the objective listed on the operation page.
When to stop or switch
Stop at your chosen story milestone or switch to a targeted farming activity when chapter progression is not your current goal.
