1. Who Is Fauxter: The Robot Sailor Trio

Nivalis is populated by synthetic automatons alongside flesh-and-blood citizens. Among the most distinctive are Fauxter, three maritime maintenance droids who developed sentience, picked up analog sound gear, and formed an underground cyberpunk sea-shanty band:

2. Step-by-Step 'Fauxter's Band' Quest Walkthrough

Reassembling the robot band requires traveling across several city districts, negotiating with shopkeepers, and solving environmental fetch objectives:

1. Meet Fauxter Prime at the Neon Kraken: Head down to Lower Canals past 20:00. Talk to Fauxter Prime by the stage to initiate the questline and receive their old band poster.
2. Recruit Echo-7 in Meridian Market: Find Echo-7 fixing a power conduit behind the spice stalls. They agree to return if you buy back their Holographic Bass from the Midtown Pawn Shop for 1,200 Credits (or win it in a dice roll mini-game).
3. Locate Unit-Beat at Metro Hub: Find Unit-Beat drumming on synthetic oil barrels outside the transit gates. They need a replacement Acoustic Frequency Module, which can be fished or salvaged from the submerged docks.
4. Stage the Comeback Concert: Once both members and their gear are secured, return to the Neon Kraken. Interact with the stage soundboard to kick off the reunion performance.
