Astral Chain‘s costume options are pretty extensive, but they aren’t limited to hair, eyes, and skin. You can completely overhaul your Neuron officer’s look with new clothing and accessories, too.

Costumes usually come in sets, like the popular Raven outfit, and you can’t pick and choose which bits you want to wear and which you don’t. Accessories are, well… accessories. They’re things like hats, eyewear, neckties and — for female officers — special tights.

Costumes and accessories can be found through exploration or obtained by completing Orders and Side Cases, Astral Chain‘s sidequests. You can also earn some by ranking up, which you do through completing orders, finishing files quickly, and not performing well in combat.

But it’s a big game, and we haven’t found them all yet. Here’s what we’ve got so far, and we’ll update as we continue scouring the Ark.

Astral Chain Costumes

Raven Armor

You won’t be getting these clothes for a while, because it isn’t available until you complete one of Olive’s special cases in File 12, right near the game’s end. The case in question is R1-B1 ARI.

Lappy Suit

This is one of the more involved costumes, because each piece has a separate requirement for acquiring.

Item Requirement
Lappy Badge File 3: Visit all of Neuron’s facilities with Lappy. If you can’t find some of them, turn your IRIS on; they’re marked with blue squares.
 Lappy Arms File 5: Speak with Marie, then beat Jin in combat.
 Lappy Wisdom File 7: Speak with Lappy when the file starts.
Lappy Legs File 8: Given as a first-time reward for winning the Lappy’s Balloon Bash mini-game.
Lappy Body File 8: Speak with Lappy, agree to take his quiz challenge, and score 40 points or more.
Lappy Head  File 12: Purchase from Brenda in File 12.

 

After acquiring all the bits and bobs, you’ll need to complete Olive’s case “Deskwork,” also available in File 12.

Drab Civvies

The Drab Civvies costume lets you look like a nondescript civilian NPC. If this sounds like your thing, speak with Hal in File 10 to acquire the costume.

ARI Medical Gear

This is another involved costume quest. You must find all the toilets in the game and give all the different toilet paper types you find to Bel, the toilet faerie in the Neuron toilets. These can be challenging to find, but we’ve got you covered with our toilet locations guide.

Accessories

Headwear

Most of your hat-like accessories are awarded as rank-up rewards, with a few exceptions. The other two, the cat ones, are part of the cat rescuing cases.

Item Requirement
Police Cap Rank up
Lappy Cap Rank up
 Marie’s Cap Rank up
Perching Raven Rank up
Cat-eared Headband Complete “Feline Friend” Order in File 12
Lazy Cat Cap Complete “Phenomenal Feline Friend” Order in File 12

 Round Glasses B File 3 : This one is in the Astral Plane when you’re pursuing Jena, in the section with the rapidly moving blocks before the end; you can see it as you descend the stairs to this area. Work your way up the blocks to the left, and follow the path around. Chain jump across the gap to a narrow strip of ground, where you’ll find a chest with Material Code and some weak enemies. As you turn around to go back, look down and left, and you’ll see two platforms. The lower one is where the Glasses are.
 Sunglasses File 8: These are received when you finish the “Billy’s Past” Case.
Clear Goggles   File 10, Chapter 2: These are in a chest in the exterior portion of the sewers, which you’ll be accessing anyway if you do the “The Hideout” hidden quest.

As you continue on, you’ll notice a side corridor with Red Matter; follow the corridor to its end, and you’ll find the Cardboard Box in a chest.
Police Helmet  File 7. Go through Grand Avenue and through the parking garage you first explored in File 1. When the path branches right to a closed metal door, use the Arm Legion to throw it open.
