WHERE & HOW TO FARM Where to farm Roxanne beside Xion’s Bulletin Board; the Grand Turret is in the Great Desert northwest area near a destroyed ship.
Roxanne’s “An Offer You Can’t Refuse” mission pays one Body Core after you destroy the Great Desert Grand Turret, collect its chip, and return to her in Xion. The reward is granted on mission completion, not picked up beside the turret. The mission is missable after a story point of no return that restricts Xion access, so plan to finish it while the city remains available.
Before you go Reach the Great Desert and complete the Alpha Naytiba encounter in Matrix 11. Raise Roxanne’s affinity through purchases until the mission is offered. Keep access to Xion and bring enough healing for the turret area. After defeating the Alpha Naytiba in Matrix 11, speak with Roxanne beside the Bulletin Board. If the request is unavailable, purchase items from her shop to raise affinity, then check again. Accept “An Offer You Can’t Refuse” and follow its objective to the Great Desert. Locate the turret near the destroyed ship in the northwest area. Use the west edge of the ship as cover, then shoot the barrels beside the raised turret platform to destroy the turret. Collect the dropped chip and verify the mission objective updates. Return to Roxanne in Xion and turn in the chip; collect the Body Core reward from mission completion. Farming tips Use the destroyed ship for cover while targeting the barrels, rather than approaching the raised platform directly. Complete the request before moving beyond the story point that removes access to Xion’s city section. Repeat, collect and use One-time side mission reward per playthrough. New Game+ permits a fresh mission run; the same mission does not provide repeated cores in one run.
Common mistakes Searching for a Body Core at the turret: the core is awarded when Roxanne completes the mission. Attacking the turret without using cover: fire at the nearby barrels from the ship’s west edge. Waiting until after Xion access is restricted: unlock and finish the request while Roxanne remains reachable. When to stop or switch Stop after the chip is turned in and the Body Core reward is credited; move to fallen Angel pickups if you still need HP progression.
