Astral Chain, Platinum Games’ recent hit for the Nintendo Switch, boasts a wealth of attractive features for people who love games of all sorts. The most obvious of these is a robust combat system with a unique way of rewarding players' performance. However, Astral Chain also offers many other engaging activities for players to sink their teeth into.
With large areas to explore filled with characters to talk to, Astral Chain also tells its story through detective work, puzzles, and more. If players want to do more than fight Chimeras and breeze through the story, learning about the backgrounds of the characters and setting requires some honest sleuthing.
What is the Duty Report?
Those who are interested in the game’s story will eventually need a password to access the Duty Report. The Duty Report provides a goldmine of information about the main characters and their past because it was written by the father of the twin protagonists, Max. Players who want to read some heartwarming notes from the player character’s dad will be well satisfied with poring through his Duty Report.
The Duty Report can be accessed while playing through File 06. However, players should make sure that they have the time to fully peruse the contents of the Duty Report before opening it. After closing the Report, there will not be another opportunity to read it unless File 06 is re-started from the beginning. The Duty Report will also come up again later in the game, during a section in which players must review all of their files.
The Password
Players can figure out the password to the Duty Report by channeling the detective skills of Astral Chain’s main characters. Despite working for the police in the tech-soaked future of Astral Chain’s setting, the protagonists' father figure Max is a little lax on password security. The secret code to his notes can be easily guessed based on a little knowledge about his personal life. The code is 1125, the birthday of his twin children and main characters of the game.
After entering the code 1125, players will be treated to all the contents of the Duty Report.
Not only is the Duty Report a necessary document during later portions of the game, but accessing it early rewards players with a deeper dive into the story. The Duty Report is one among many extra ways that players can explore the game’s larger setting. Astral Chain is rich with collectibles and secrets to keep players occupied and entertained.
Astral Chain is out now, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
