Upon trying to enter Zheng Shi for the first time one must '''Submit''' the password '''"Fuck You"''' or ask for help from the crew or '''run'''.

The [[Steele Tech Probe|Zheng Shi Data Probe]] is located in the [[Zheng Shi#Scaffolds|The Scaffolds]], but the Cargo Elevator is broken. To repair it, the player must obtain [[Spacesuit Helmet]] from [[Overseer Maike]]. This can be done by defeating her in combat or by equipping the [[Slave Uniform]] from the '''Slave Pen''' and '''Bluffing''' her. Once the player has the helmet, it can be taken to the Airlock and combined with the [[Incomplete Spacesuit | incomplete Pirate Spacesuit]] to make the [[Pirate Spacesuit|'''Pirate Spacesuit''']] and take a [[Excavation_Robot|Spacewalk]] to repair the Elevator. Other space suits are currently '''not accepted'''. If the Spacesuit Helmet was obtained by Bluffing Overseer Maike, it can be given to the Pirate at the Airlock, who will repair the Elevator.

Zheng Shi Station
Zheng Shi.png
Planet "The Pirate Asteroid"
System Herisiod

Description

A pirate station built on the largest asteroid in the asteroid field of the Herisiod System.

Entering


Upon trying to enter Zheng Shi for the first time one must Submit the password "Fuck You" or ask for help from the crew or run. Submitting the wrong password results to space battle. You can defeat all enemies or slip in. Losing leads to bad end.

  • The password can be obtained from Kiro after completing her distress call and she is not currently being held captive by Illustria Po.
  • Calling on Paige if she is a crewmate will cause her to insult and threaten the harbormaster causing them to grant you access.

After entering Zheng Shi using the password Steele will be challenged by Urbolg. Losing once allows you to try land on the asteroid again and be challenged by him again but losing a second time results in him taking you as his pet (bad end). If the player uses the wrong password but by some miracle repels Zheng Shi's orbital defenses, Urbolg will not bother attacking the player since he believes that you have already proven yourself to be as strong or stronger than most of the pirates on the station.

Advance inside


The Zheng Shi Data Probe is located in the The Scaffolds, but the Cargo Elevator is broken. To repair it, the player must obtain Spacesuit Helmet from Overseer Maike. This can be done by defeating her in combat or by equipping the Slave Uniform from the Slave Pen and Bluffing her. Once the player has the helmet, it can be taken to the Airlock and combined with the incomplete Pirate Spacesuit to make the Pirate Spacesuit and take a Spacewalk to repair the Elevator. Other space suits are currently not accepted. If the Spacesuit Helmet was obtained by Bluffing Overseer Maike, it can be given to the Pirate at the Airlock, who will repair the Elevator.

If the Pirate repaired the Elevator, when retuning to the Hangar, the player will have a one-time opportunity to join a slave chain-gang, be picked out with Ardia by Agrosh and taken to The Forge's break room. This is entirely optional, as the Elevator is already repaired.

Hostiles

General Strategy: Most of the enemies found on Zheng Shi are roaming the mines and forge. It is, understandably, very hot and sweaty in these parts of the asteroid, not to mention, jerry-rigged machinery and toxic chemicals are distributed all over to catalyze the mining and construction processes. So, the hostiles encountered have taken precautions to keep the cool in and the heat, electricity, and hazardous materials out. With the exception of bosses and the Mining Robot, most of the enemies have Massive resistance to burning, electric, and corrosive attacks. But, homeostasis can be disrupted if the player takes advantage of cooling systems with freezing attacks. Just like on Tarkus, mechanical enemies like the Mining Robot, the Excavation Robot, and Roz can be short-circuited using electrical attacks. The weapons that each enemy uses vary widely based on their own class.

Trivia

  • Zheng Shi is named after the English pronunciation of Ching Shih, one the most successful and mysterious Chinese Pirates of the 19th century.
  • If the character of the player goes to any direction of the Recreation Deck, in time it appears on the opposite side.
