Entering The Hollow

When you first arrive in The Hollow, Fairy will explain that there aresix test sites,labeled 88 through 93. Fairy explains that there are two sections of the map, andwherever you move, the Dadd-E machine will copy youhowever it can from its side of the map.

The catch is that, after Floor 88,your map and Dadd-E’s map will vary, meaning that Dadd-E cannot replicate you exactly. The goal of this commission is tonavigate on your side of the map so both you and Dadd-E collect at least 3,000 Gear Coinson each floor.
