Efficient Farming Methods for Large Gears
Farming Junk Heap (B2) is Recommended
| Steps | |
|---|---|
| 1. | Enter the Junk Heap and take the elevator to B2F |
| 2. | Proceed to the room before the minecart and defeat the yellow-eyed robot, "SG-01". |
| 3. | If you don't have the target number, return to the elevator. |
| 4. | Continuously jump off the side of the elevator, reduce your HP to 0 and continue, then return to step 2. |
Location of the Elevator to B2
After entering the Junk Heap, follow the path and take the right fork to find the elevator to B2.
Large Gears are Green Item Drops

Large Gears are dropped as green items by the yellow-eyed robots. From experience, the drop rate is very low, so be prepared to farm patiently.
Respawn by Falling Next to the Elevator
To make the SG-01s respawn after defeating them, it's best to continuously jump and fall into the space next to the elevator. If you reduce your HP to 0 and continue, the SG-01s will reappear.
