Stage Composition
- Note: This stage has the same layout for both GV and Copen.
- There are a LOT of spikes here. This stage is not recommended for the Lethal Lavaliere pendant or the Heaven or Hell sub.
- The layout's the same, but expect GV and Copen's medals to be in slightly different spots.
- This stage is the first to introduce Elite Troopers. They fire 4-round bursts from their rifles and turn invisible if you try to shoot them. The Flashfield and Stellar Spark can short out their stealth suits.
- The 2nd half will involve a long series of bottomless pits, conveyor belts, and Trappers floating in midair. Have fun.
- Depending on who you're playing as, you'll either fight Desna or Milas. Milas is less difficult because Hydro Zapper doesn't affect Bullits, but Desna's Entangled Strands can cause Overheat.
- Using 5 different Bolts/EX Weapons in the stage yields a 200 "Secret" Kudos bonus. You do not need to hit any enemies with the weapons, so you can gain this bonus at the very beginning of the stage.

Trivia
- At a certain point in the stage, Joule mentions the fortress giving her a bad feeling and Gunvolt thinks about her ability to sense presences. At the same point in Copen's route, Lola questions why Eden would build their base in Tashkent in Central Asia. Nori brings up the organization's religious aspect and speculates there could be something important in that land that they are seeking. This is all likely a reference to Inti Creates' first game, Speed Power Gunbike, in which the HQ of the evolved race at war with humanity known as the Michi is named Tashkent, and they were turned into Michi by the spiritual guidance object known as Belladen (Which, further referencing Gunbike, Eden's HQ is named after instead of The Garden in the Japanese version).
