When a mother loses her "daughter" in a Hollow, Phaethon steps up to help. But Liz isn’t just any child — she's a malfunctioning robot. If you’re ready to reunite this unique family and earn some Dennies, read on to find out if blood really is thicker than water.

How To Unlock The Is Blood Thicker Than Water? Commission

Is Blood Thicker Than Water? is a medium-difficulty commission with a recommended Agent level of 42. You will also need to reach an Inter-Knot Level of 40.

Once these prerequisites have been met, go to the front of Random Play and speak to the Anxious Public Security Officer. After this conversation, Your AverageSlacker will message you, and you can ask to borrow Dadd-E for this commission. With all of these story beats complete, you can accept the commission and access it via the HDD.

How To Prepare For The Blood Is Thicker Than Water? Commission

The Is Blood Thicker Than Water? commission has two sets of combat, and the enemies generated for combat will always be random. Because of this, there is no recommended team for this commission. Your best bet is to take whatever team you are most comfortable with!

The first round of combat is against Beholder Engines and a Bulky Intimidator, so consider bringing Ice, Ether, or Physical Agents to make the most of their weaknesses!

Is Blood Thicker Than Water? Walkthrough

Here's the complete walkthrough to complete Is Blood Thicker Than Water?

Enter The Hollow

When you first enter The Hollow, you will immediately be sent into combat. This combat will be in two waves, one against three Beholder Engines, and a final wave against a Bulky Intimidator.

Bulky Intimidator

Type: Elite

Faction: Thugs

Weaknesses: Ice, Physical

Resistances: None

The first wave of enemies is on the bottom floor. Once this combat is complete, take the elevator up to the second floor. Upon arriving, an Elite Enemy will spawn. Defeat this enemy, then follow the quest markers to a corner with storage crates.

Here, you will find an autocart. When you speak to it, you will learn that this autocart is Liz, and that The Hollow has caused her to default to her factory programming. She must pick up Dennies, and Fairy suggests that you use Dadd-E to guide Liz and collect Dennies to help Liz escape.

Once your conversation with Liz is done, you will be returned to The Hollow, and have to navigate through three HDD maps with Liz.

Complete Floor One

To complete the Dadd-E and Liz puzzle on Floor One, you will want to move in the following directions:

  • Right
  • Right
  • Down
  • Left
  • Left
  • Down
  • Right
  • Right
  • Down

Once you navigate the puzzle, Liz will copy you on her side of the screen. By taking this route, you will collect all possible Dennies, and can proceed to the next floor.

If you ever mess up, you can always choose to repeat a floor and restart from the beginning of the map.

Complete Floor Two

To complete the Dadd-E and Liz puzzle on Floor Two, you will want to move in the following directions:

  • Right
  • Right
  • Right
  • Left
  • Down
  • Left
  • Right
  • Down
  • Right
  • Left
  • Down
  • Left
  • Left
  • Up
  • Down
  • Right
  • Right
  • Right

You will want to be cautious on Floors Two and Three, since both have Danger tiles. If these are hit, either by you or Liz, your party will lose health, so follow the suggested path and avoid them if you can.

Hitting a Danger tile does not directly affect your overall score on this commission, so if you mess up and accidentally hit one, you are still fine with proceeding.

Complete Floor Three

To complete the Dadd-E and Liz puzzle on Floor Three, you will want to move in the following directions:

  • Down
  • Right
  • Down
  • Down
  • Left
  • Right
  • Right

Once you hit the final "glowing Z" tile, Liz will copy you. When she hits the checkered flag on her side of the map, the final round of combat will begin.

Enter Combat And Defeat The Enemies

When you enter combat, you will encounter two waves of random enemies. One will be a number of lesser Ethereals, and the final wave will be against an Elite Ethereal.

Because the enemies are randomly-generated, there is no particular Attribute that can help. However, you can always pause the game and look up the enemy you are against to see if you have an Attribute that would be extra effective!

Once combat is complete, you will be able to exit the HDD and complete the commission!

What Are The Rewards?

For completing the Is Blood Thicker Than Water? commission, you will receive:

  • 30 Polychromes
  • Eight Trainee Investigator Logs
  • Four Official Investigator Logs
  • Two W-Engine Power Supplies
  • Four W-Engine Batteries
  • Two Bangboo Algorithm Modules
  • 23, 155 Dennies (if claimed in the HDD)
  • 500 Inter-Knot Experience
