When it says “unhinted“, it means they’re RNG and is in one of the stages. Some encounters only appear after clearing a stage, signified by an encounter icon on top of a node, so check your map thoroughly after. Additionally, Story no longer will progress past Day 9 (normally; only exceptions if a hinted node has an NPC stay). Feel free to reset if you reach Day 10. When looking for a floating encounter, you can enter and leave stages with zero Operators to try and trigger floating encounters. ## Main Story (Ending 1): From this point on, you unlock Ending 1, and the game will branch to two paths. It is advisable to throw the crystal ball when doing Ending 3, otherwise you will be randomly locked into Ending 2. ## Flames of Rage (Ending 3): 1.
