ROBOTICS;NOTES DaSH Walkthrough (Spoiler-Free)

The purpose of this guide is to get you through ROBOTICS;NOTES DaSH in the optimal route order while unlocking every scene, CG, music track, and tip along the way. Please note that tweeps and GeoTags are not covered here. You should be checking for them routinely when you see fit.

The Map Trigger is a route-defining trigger unique to ROBOTICS;NOTES DaSH. At certain points in the story, you are prompted to explore various Tanegashima locations. Using the Map Trigger, you can select what locations to visit on a map. At those locations, you will interact with various characters. A pre-determined location for each Map Trigger sequence will be the “correct” one and will progress the story.

As a general rule for how character-route branching works, you need to visit all locations with the character in them during the trigger sequences, and then also visit the locations that progress the story. Sometimes, those two overlap.

After that sequence, you will be asked to look around a specific location and locate a GeoTag, much like in ROBOTICS;NOTES Elite. We do not count those as “Map Trigger” segments, since they’re merely a minigame. You can complete this yourself, but if you can’t spot the GeoTag, look over at the GeoTag Spotting Help section.

Choices within the common route determine what character route you branch into after the common route concludes, so be careful. However, these choices only start to appear later on, so don’t worry too much about them in the beginning—just focus on enjoying the Twipo conversations and finding GeoTags.

Mesopause Converter -> Plasmapause Resistor -> Exopause Thyristor -> Thermopause Emulator -> Ionopause Thermistor -> Magnetopause Attenuator -> Heliopause Processor.
