Efficient Ways to Farm Broken Lens
Easiest Way is to Buy from the Brothers' Shop
Broken Lens can be purchased at the brothers' shop in the Junk Heap. Since the drop rate from enemies is low, buying it is the easiest way. However, it's expensive at 1,100G each, so if you don't have enough money, you'll need to do some money farming.
Farming in the Junk Heap (B2F)
| Procedure | |
|---|---|
| 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" that appears |
| 3. | If you haven't collected the target number, return to the elevator |
| 4. | Continuously jump off the side of the elevator to reduce your HP to 0 and continue, then return to step 2. |
Location of the Elevator to B2F
After entering the Junk Heap, follow the path and take the right fork to find the elevator that goes to B2F.
Broken Lens is a Green Item Drop
| SG-01's Appearance | Got Broken Lens |
|---|---|
 |  |
Broken Lens drops as a green item from the yellow-eyed robots. The drop rate is quite low, so you'll need 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.
