Clothes Design Handbook Locations

For ease of access we are looking for ‘Clothes Design Handbook – Part 2’ first. Enter the ULTRA Mall where you need to find the Book Store/Library on the first floor. Upon entering at the main entrance of the Mall, head immediately up the first flight of stairs/escalators and then turn right. Going into the main section of the Mall. Keep follow that path and do not turn left or right for the intersections of the Mall. The Sector you are looking for is titled ‘книгоед’. It is located opposite KOSTIN. Head into the Book Store from the Store name entrance, go past two aisles and check the third book aisle. The Design Handbook is located on the bottom shelf (last book on the aisle on the right) of this third aisle on the entrance side.

The next book ‘Clothes Design Handbook – Part 1’ can be found on the second floor. Head up the escalators and turn right from the Store TECHLIGHT. Take a left when you see the next passageway open out in front of you now that you are a good distance away from TECHLIGHT. Go into ‘МУЗЕЙ ИСТОРИИ’, the Museum with old Arcade games inside. Head into the Museum from the entrance (sign above) and go straight to the first aisle directly on your right (located in the middle of the Sector). The Handbook is not located on this bookcase, rather it is on the ground in front of it. Check the pile for the Handbook and pick up ‘Part 1’.

Extracting

The final part of the Mission is to extract from Interchange and get the Handbooks to Ragman to complete the Mission. So long as you extract without being taken down and speak with Ragman, the Quest ‘The Key to Success’ will finish.
