Drag to pan. Zoom in to read labels and markers.
Before you go
- Unlock each region you intend to sweep.
- Have the drone scanner available for open terrain.
- Before story points of no return, finish accessible Xion, Eidos 7, and Wasteland pickups; Matrix 11 and Spire 4 are story areas.
Farming steps
- Open the regional checklist and select a region with uncollected Body Core markers.
- Travel to a nearby camp and scan unfamiliar terrain; fallen Angel bodies are highlighted by the drone.
- Follow the marker to the body, defeat any nearby threat if needed, and collect the core directly.
- Update your checklist immediately so revisits target only missed sites.
- Repeat across the region, paying special attention to bodies near stairs, ramps, rubble, and upper platforms.
- Before advancing past a point of no return, review open-region and story-area markers that will become inaccessible.
- At 18 total cores, confirm the HP cap has been reached; treat any remaining core as surplus collection.
- Scan from open ground at intervals instead of relying on the bodies’ visual glow at close range.
- Collect cores in sets of three when convenient; the health increase applies as soon as the set is complete.
Repeat, collect and use
Each body pickup is one-time in a playthrough. New Game+ restores collectibles for another sweep; the HP cap is reached at 18 cores, though 20 exist including Roxanne’s reward.
Common mistakes
- Assuming all 20 cores are required for maximum HP: 18 are sufficient for the cap.
- Skipping scans in the Wasteland or Great Desert: bodies can blend into the environment, so scan systematically.
- Advancing past story locks with uncollected markers: clear accessible regions before the relevant point of no return.
When to stop or switch
Stop the HP-focused sweep at 18 cores; continue only for completion, or switch to Beta Cores if you want more Beta Energy.
