This Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet Walkthrough Guide will outline every strategy and quest you need to be aware of to deal with the story mode. Story Mode of Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet can be a tad difficult to figure out on your own. Even though most of the story seems straightforward, some parts require you to search for your own solutions.
Remember that this is not a guide on how to beat a specific boss or how to get through a particular enemy. That is something that you can figure out on your own by grinding levels, increasing stats, and getting better equipment. This guide will only mention the important parts of the story and the next move that your character should make.
The Story Mode has a total of 22 quests.
Kureha’s Lecture
Meet Kureha at the Yellow Marker on the map and then follow him around town. Keep on following him until you get into Kirito’s Room. In short, keep on following the yellow markers to end this quest.
SBC Glocken
First of all, talk to Klein, Strea, Yuuki, Rain and Phillia. Then, talk to Sinon and Leafa, followed by Premia. All of them will be marked with the yellow markers on the map. In the end, talk to Itsuki near the shop before returning to Kirito’s Room.
Arfa-Sys Parts
Head to the boss in the Dungeon in Remnant Wasteland (shown by yellow marker). Clear the path on the way, and use the pillars as cover. After you have defeated the boss, head back to Town to speak to Bazalt Joe.
Bazalt Joe’s Raid
Head to the yellow marker and defeat the boss there. You will get 5,000 credits after defeating Bazalt Joe.
Bazalt Joe’s Return
Do exactly the same as in the previous quest. Go to the yellow market and defeat the boss.
Searching for Arfa-Sys Parts
Head to the Dungeon and make your way through it to defeat the boss at the end. When you get the Arfa-sys part, get to your home and see their events. After that, return to town and look for the yellow speech bubble. After talking to the stranger, head into the town and talk to Zeliska at the Yellow Marker.
Deserted Land Covered in Sand
Go to the dungeon and move through it, carefully avoiding snipers, shotguns and other enemies. Defeat the boss at the end by attacking its red eyes. This will unlock the second area. You can explore it if you wish; otherwise, head back into town for the next quest and talk to Zeliska at the yellow marker.
Old South
Go to the teleporter and enter the dungeon. Move through it and use the UFG to get over the platform. Continue in the dungeon until you get to the teleporter, at which point you need to be aware of the traps laden on the floor. Keep on moving until you get to the last teleporter and face the boss.
Attack the boss whenever you see its eyeball open. But first, take out the minions to make it vulnerable. Keep on repeating the process until you defeat the boss. This will unlock the third area, and you can return to the Home Room for the next quest.
Arfa-sys Part Collection
Talk to Argo and head to the Sand Land. Kill the two targets marked on the map, and then head to the Lighthouse Dungeon. Keep moving in the dungeon until you see three doors. Take the one straight ahead and clear the room full of enemies.
You can also go to the other two roads to get the treasure boxes there. When you clear the enemies in the warehouse, go through the north door and take out the boss by attacking its neck.
Once the boss dies, proceed through the door and enter the dungeon in Old South. Move through the door and skip the box, as it is optional. Search for the 9 switches and trigger them to open the door with the treasure. Finding the treasure will end the quest.
Forest of Oblivion
Kill the first boss (uppermost on the map) using ranged weapons since he can fly, and melee weapons are useless. His weak point is the head, so attack it as much as you can until he dies.
Then, use the teleporters to get to the second boss at the end of the dungeon and take it out by attacking its eyes below its turret. Defeating the boss will end the quest by playing a cutscene and eventually taking you back into the town.
Gate Keeper
Follow the yellow marker and then whittle down the HP of the boss when it appears. Then head down into the town and move around to see an event. Now, head to the yellow marker and see more events. Continue seeing the events before you face the boss with Arfa-sys. Attack the blue circle which is glowing at its back, to take it out quickly. After this, watch even more events and then return to Kirito’s room to end the quest.
Squadron
Watch the event and then head over to the yellow marker. Defeat the Solo players by prioritizing survival over damage and healing yourself. Once you have defeated all of the players, watch the events and then go into the town to watch even more events.
Homecoming
Move around the dungeon and defeat the boss. Move past the newly unlocked door beneath the stairs, kill everyone inside, and watch the cutscene. After the cutscene, go to the yellow speech bubble. However, make sure you go to the small room with a checkpoint on your right.
Then speak to Argo and get the objectives. Use your UFG when you see the red ball to open the locked door. Here you will teleport to a boss location, defeat it, and then go to the dungeon in Old South.
Move towards the teleporter and activate it but take down the enemies before proceeding to the next parts of the dungeon and keep on hitting the red balls with UFG to activate the doors.
When you get to the boss, use your sword and try to hit its red light that comes out of its throat whenever it is angry. Watch out for the jumping attacks and heal yourself as much as you can to defeat the boss.
Bazalt Joe
Talk to Kureha and then win the fight after that. Upon winning, watch the events and then talk to Kirito once again to end the quest.
SBC Flugel
Go to the dungeon in the Forest of Oblivion, and keep moving straight till you see a fork and then turn left. Keep moving forward until you get past the room with the trapped treasure chests and are ambushed.
Clear the ambush and then activate a switch before going back to the room with the trapped treasure chests. Go to the newly unlocked area and face the final boss. The boss is quite hard, so make sure you are adequately levelled before you attempt the fight. Attack his horns as much as you can and move around to dodge his attacks.
Stand on top of the ramp to the east when the second compartment of the battle opens up, and when he charges you, jump off to watch him run in a circle. This is when you can attack him and deal a ton of damage. Keep on abusing this ramp until you are done with the boss. After that, watch the event and head through the door to end the quest.
Mother
Proceed forward after the events and defeat the boss, which should be quite easy. Upon doing that, investigate the north side console and then go to the yellow marker to talk to the person. Following that, go to the yellow speech bubble and then head back into your Home Room.
Someone
Defeat people in duels and then head back into Kirito’s Room. See the events and then move to Itsuki’s Squadron. After seeing the events there, go to your Home Room and speak to Arfa-sys.
Decision
Go to the yellow marker and head inside the dungeon. Go through the shallow path and head through the teleporter to eventually use the UFG and find the treasure. Get the treasure and go through the teleporter to get to the main dungeon. Move forward and defeat the boss at the end before returning to your Home Room.
At this point, make sure you have maximum affection for all friends and have seen every side event in the main story and the Kirito mode. Once you have done all that, return to your homeroom to receive a key item that will allow you to unlock the actual ending of the game. Now, talk to Arfa-sys and make a decision.
Fatal Bullet
If your quest name shows up as ‘The End of All’, then it means that you have not done everything that was required to unlock the actual ending of the game. You can experience this ending or go back to a previous save and try to fulfil the requirements once again.
With the key that you obtained, you will be able to stop the boss’ final attack. Stop the boss when he charges up the dark ball. Defeat the boss to stay on the True Ending path.
