PREFACE & PURPOSE
RECENT CHANGESThis is a light guide for LISA. It doesn't cover secrets or story event flags, only what's really necessary to navigate through the game without getting lost or stuck.
Bonfire present random event item list is now complete.
PARTICULAR AREASLocations are listed in the direction and order in which you come across them. In situations of route divide, I use an asterisk and linebreak.
PROGRESSION GOALSOn every area hub, I've listed in spoiler tags what you're suppose to be doing and where you can go to accomplish this.
BARS, SHOPS, WEAPON CABINETSI've included an inventory list for all merchants. All items sell for 50% value to vendor. For who can use particular items, use my companion guide.
TIP: Use the Shift key to cycle through your gang when buying weapons and armor.
COMPANIONSArea and specific recruitment details are listed. For abilities and general usefulness, I made a separate guide. You can sometimes miss out on companions by flagging or not flagging certain events.
FARMING/GRINDINGAppended to the end of this guide is a list of random encounters. Good if you are low on magazines or just recruited a low level companion.

RANDOM ENCOUNTERS & FARMING
AREA ONE: RANDO CAMP: SHADOW HALLWAYThis is an excellent early farming area. If you get low on health or SP, simply use the save point and tent right outside. Even when XP given seems low, you are still receiving 10 magazines and items. Mystery jerky sells for 5 magazines, diet cocola cola for 2. Mob can be killed in one 350+ dmg hit making this go very fast.

Pain mode can be activated after defeating the dog tormenting Terry. When this mode is activated, save points become one-use and disappear. New mobs, bosses and an area also open up when you're in pain mode. I have listed save points below. There are 36 in total. Please tell me if I missed any.
Here is a spreadsheet I made as a checklist. There are two versions.
