Hi-Fi Rush Track 1: A Fresh Start Collectible Guide

Hi-Fi Rush is a new game from Tango Gameworks that puts players in control of Chai. Chai is a rocker who due to some medical malpractice has woken up with a metal arm and a music player stuck in his heart. This gives him all kinds of musical abilities but it has also put a target on his back. As he makes his way through this colorful world to try to escape it's not just robots that you'll be facing, there are also plenty of collectibles to pick up. In this Hi-Fi Rush Track 1: A Fresh Start Collectible Guide we'll go through where to get all of the collectibles in Track 1 of Hi-Fi Rush.

You won't be able to obtain all of the collectibles on your first playthrough of this level as certain locations will only become available to you as you obtain more party members and unlock more abilities. Each of these collectibles is a part of a whole bonus that will raise your maximum health, maximum reverb, or will even give you a whole Health Tank that will automatically give you back full health after you've lost all your current health. Each of these items are extremely important as you take on more difficult challenges throughout the game, and even more so if you're trying to beat the game on any of the hardest difficulties!

Hi-Fi Rush Track 1: A Fresh Start Collectibles

Looks like in this level I'm missing Vlog #5, and Graffiti #1 and #2

The Collectibles will be listed in the order that they appear in the level so you can start at the top of the list and work your way through. If you happen to spot any collectibles that we have missed feel free to drop a comment below and we'll check it out!

• Life Gauge Piece #1

Progress through the level until 808 (the cat) joins you and you get the tutorial for the end of combo special attack. Progress forward until you enter the room with the blue robot to the left. Go into the room on the right with the "Employee Only" signs and climb the shipping container to find this Life Gauge Piece.

• Life Gauge Piece #2

After being directed to the QA Building you'll be able to hop over some floating platforms. After the second one look to your right and on top of the water tower to see this Life Gauge Piece. You won't be able to reach it from where you are so drop down and head up the ramp to the right and circle counter-clockwise up the building until you can get to it.

• Numbered Door #1

After making the bridge using the ground pound make your way across the gap and past the infobot with the large Hint sign. Instead of taking a left across more platforms look to the right and drop down the ledge to find this door. At the moment we're not sure what's going on with this door, but it's surely something...

• Broken Piece of Health #1

After you obtain the ability to special attack continue through the stage until you ride the suspended platform. Unlock the chest on the other side for this Piece of Health. There's a brief tutorial on how to unlock the treasure chests that you'll get to go through.

• Electric Reverb Core Piece #1

Enter with robot facility with the crushing presses. Instead of going left after you make it through the first few crushers, you should continue down the conveyor belt. At the end of the conveyor belt there's a path to the right that's a bit harder to notice. Follow this path all the way to the back where you'll find a hidden Reverb Core Piece.

• Smashable Wall

After bringing the generator back to power cross the sliding platform. Turn left and follow the path to find this smashable wall. At the moment we don't know what's behind this wall... but we'll let you know when we find out!

• Life Gauge Piece #3

Enter the room that says "exit", there will be dialogue about it being a trap. Once inside get to the back wall but DO NOT WALK THROUGH THE DOOR, instead hop up on the lifts to either side of the door and then up above the rafting. Following the path along the right rafting you'll be led to a Life Gauge piece in the very back. 

• Fire Door

Enter the room that says "exit", there will be dialogue about it being a trap. Inside climb up the pillars to the left and right to get to the top of the room. On the left will be a door you can't get past with fire on it. At the moment we aren't sure what's back there, but we'll let you know as soon as we do!

There are 4 Vlogs on this level, these are the datapads that you encounter. When you get close to them a speech bubble will appear to interact with them

• TO ALL EMPLOYEES!
• Battery Pack Production
• Old-gen EOL Reminder
• RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE: Get on this!

Once you progress further through the door that's labeled with the "Exit" sign the first boss battle of Hi-Fi Rush will initiate.
