The purpose of the mission Innocent Girl is to assist with upgrading Vivienne's speech and thought patterns through a series of questions presented to you throughout the VR simulation. Depending on the answers given, Vivienne's growth will vary with subsequent runs of the mission.

Viviennes questions

Initial stage

• Vivienne answers all reactions with the same response.

• Are weapons important?

They are. ⇒ "I see. I have filed this for future reference."

Not really. ⇒ "I see. I have filed this for future reference."

• These questions about your race all have the same answers.
  • Are you a human?
  • Are you a newman?
  • Are you a CAST?
  • Are you a beast?

Yes, I am. ⇒ "I see. I have filed this for future reference."

• Is it good to be alive?

Yes, it's good! ⇒ "I see. I have filed this for future reference."

It's nothing but suffering. ⇒ "I see. I have filed this for future reference."

Second stage

The previously locked door in the raffon meadow is now open.

• Come to think of it, what should I call you?

⇒ "Understood, thank you. [chosen title]..."

• When we take breaks, it feels good to be alive.

That's what they're for! ⇒ "Yes. But we can't rest all day, can we?"

That's not the point. ⇒ "Oh really? Perhaps I should reprioritize then. Shall we go?"

• [chosen title], do you enjoy candy?

Yes, I do. ⇒ "I do too. There is something satisfying about it."

No, I don't. ⇒ "I enjoy candy. I thought it was something fulfilling for people..."

Actually I'm eating some now. ⇒ "It doesn't look as if you're eating anything. Please don't make things up like that."

• There are so many people living on the G. Colony. It is a strange place.

Yes it is. ⇒ "So you think so too, [chosen title]."

I'm used to it. ⇒ "Then it is probably a good place to learn to adapt to one's surroundings."

You're the strange one. ⇒ "I think that you're the strange one, [chosen title]."

• I often see Dr. Arl playing games. Do you also play "games", [chosen title]?

Yes, I do. ⇒ "So you enjoy them. I think I would too. Please teach me sometime."

Not really. ⇒ "I see. Everyone is different, it seems."

I play until I lose track of time! ⇒ "You enjoy them. But it isn't good to lose track of time."

• Why did you join the GUARDIANS, [chosen title]?

I wanted to protect something. ⇒　"I don't have anything to protect yet, but I hope to someday."

To test myself. ⇒ "That's a good answer for a Guardian. I must learn from you."

A friend signed me up. ⇒ "What? You must be a special case."

• Do creatures seem frightening to you?

Yes, they do. ⇒ "I see. That's good, I thought it was just me."

No, they don't. ⇒ ("I am afraid of them. I wonder if I can get over that.")

• Did you feel it shaking just now?

Yes, it was shaking. ⇒ "I found it somewhat frightening."

It was my heart beating. For you. ⇒ "Oh? Well... That's... well, that's great, but I don't really understand."

• Are there other rewards for missions besides the usual compensation?

Not really. ⇒ "Understood. It seems that the rumors aren't true."

No, but I wish there were. ⇒ "So there are many who desire a reward? I will petition Dr. Arl."

A kiss from President Dallgun!. ⇒ "Can one refuse their reward? I must investigate..."

• [chosen title]... Do you listen to music?

Yes, I do. ⇒ "I am interested. Please tell me what kind of music you like."

Not really. ⇒ "I see. Everyone is different, it seems."

Shall I sing for you?. ⇒ "As we are currently on a mission, I will pass. Perhaps some other time."

• I've gotten a little used to it, but I'm still afraid of creatures. Aren't you?

Yes, I am. ⇒ "I see. That's good. I thought it was just me."

No, I'm not. ⇒ "Oh. That is very admirable."

Third stage

The previously locked door in the metro linear area is now open. Vivienne will not enter the room in the metro linear area with the turrets with switches and only join you again when you unlock the door to the exit of the stage.

In the HIVE area, she will not enter the Delp Slami room that also has a trap, that you can activate with three switches. She will join you when they are all killed, either by you or the trap.

If you have to many times a B or C rank you may get placed back from personality 3 to personality 1.

The answers in her basic stage will determine her personality in the 3 and a half stage.

Of course. ⇒ "Really? Like what? When we have a chance, please tell me about it."

Not really. ⇒ "I see. Well, perhaps you'll find something you want to do someday."

I'm happy living in the moment. ⇒ "I feel the same way."

• *Sigh* Sometimes I wonder. What if I were human too? What kind of life would I lead?

You're fine as you are. ⇒ "If you say so then it must be true. Thank you."

Not much would change. ⇒ "Hm... Perhaps you are right. But if it were possible, I would like to try it out for a while."

Sorry I wasn't listening. ⇒ "*Sigh* Never mind..."

It's not summer without it. ⇒ "I've never tried it, so I don't really know, but could it really be very refreshing? It doesn't seem likely."

Sleep. ⇒ "Hm, everyone sure likes to sleep..."

Read. ⇒ "I see. Guardians must always remain vigilant."

Stages strategies

• Vivienne recovers full health in between stages.

Stage 1 "VR: Grasslands"

VR Grasslands map

• All trees here can be destroyed to get items. Very handy on A, because they will drop Par Walnas most of the time.

• The door in the western part of the map will unlock after Vivienne has been upgraded once. Inside are three special boxes and two trees. No enemies.

Stage 2 "VR: Metro Linear"

VR Metro Linear map

• Turrets do 50% of your hit points worth of damage, so avoid them at all cost.

• The door to the north of the second room will unock after Vivienne has been upgraded twice. Inside are three special boxes.

• In the fourth room there is a pink key card (1) on the map). Don't pick it up, it will explode! When you destroy it, three enemies (Rogue Mazz) will appear.

• In the room after lock 1, there are two switches on the far side of the wall (2) on the map). Hit them with a weapon as soon as possible, they will deactivate the turrets. Keep moving. Destroying the box will spawn the enemies.

• The room to the north will spawn four turrets when you pick up the key card (3) on the map). They fire north-south-east-west. Immediately run to the left or right side of the back wall and activate the switch. Then activate the other. When you try to leave, the door will lock and enemies will spawn.

Stage 3 "VR: HIVE"

VR HIVE map

• After the first room, to the east, is a room with three switches in it. Delp Slamis will spawn here. If you activate the switches, after ten seconds, the whole area will explode, killing all enemies (and you if you stay). So run outside instead. See the map for the blast radius.

• If you kill all the enemies yourself, the switches disappear. You may activate them at any time when enemies are here. You will not get any experience (confirmed), even from tagged ones, nor any drops (needs confirmation).

• The door in the last room leading east will unlock after Vivienne reached stage four.

Stage 4 "VR: Plant"

• In this room, the turrets keep respawning in different patterns.

• First one Bafal Bragga spawns, then two.

• Run to the other side as soon as you have control, you are quite safe from the turrets in those corners.

• Before ending the GCS, make sure you have at least one inventory spot free, until you received both rewards.

• Above the field is a Explosive Trap. When its destroyed the next wave of turrets / enemys will spawn. By doing this the last fight can be completed a lot faster then normal.

Avoiding Vivienne's questions

You can avoid Vivienne's questions indefinitely as soon as you trigger her memory event. When this happens, you will be forced to watch a cutscene at the beginning of the run, but she won't talk at all during the mission. After completing the trial, if you choose to abort instead of using the crystal to return to the lab, subsequent runs of the mission will not be interrupted by Vivienne's questions. However, keep in mind that you will be forced to watch the opening cutscene each time you play the mission until the ending sequence is viewed.
