Bypass Minigame Tips
1 of 5: See Appendix 1 in the game manual for info on the bypass minigame.
2 of 5: It's like a memory match game with a time limit, so quickly scan the nodes to see which ones need to be connected.
3 of 5: Once you find two nodes whose symbols match, you'll have to click on the second one *extremely* quickly after clicking on the first one, or the first one will be de-selected and you'll have to try again.
4 of 5: To quickly reduce the number of unconnected nodes, start by scanning the largest cluster of them and connecting everything you can within it.
5 of 5: NOTE: You can double the time limit for all bypass minigames by buying the Bypass Module from the Serrice Technology shop on Illium.
