Direct Answer

Player-reported synthesis - exact order To be confirmed: [C1][C2] The threads discuss emergency relocation, a current-position check, reconnaissance and spotter clues, firing from a fresh solution, and reacquiring after reported movement. They do not confirm that this is a required order or a guaranteed ammunition formula.

Source-limited notice

This iron nest phantom battery page is based only on two current Reddit discussions. They support labelled community observations, not official mechanics, fixed values, or a promised solution. Current objectives and interface reports remain the immediate authority.

Before the Mission

Preparing for the Second Level

An iron nest second level guide should begin with the active objective and current reports, then keep community suggestions separate from game evidence. Record what is current and discard assumptions left from an earlier attempt. Coordinates: To be confirmed, so this page publishes none.

Is There a Confirmed Target List?

The phrase iron nest all targets does not correspond to an approved fixed checklist. Target count, required hits, and exact timing are each To be confirmed. No remembered list, durability value, or countdown is presented as current mission logic.

Emergency Relocation

Player report - To be confirmed: [C1] One thread describes emergency relocation during the attempt. It does not establish a mandatory route, destination, or moment, and relocation alone is not confirmed to advance the objective. Reread the live reports after any move instead of carrying forward an old firing picture.

Confirm the Current Position

Player report - To be confirmed: [C2] One thread discusses position establishment, while the same source also discusses scouting. Their order and necessity are To be confirmed; the discussion does not say that position information must come first. Use only the current interface to judge whether a location reference is usable.

Reconnaissance and Photo Evidence

How to Read Recon Evidence

Player report - To be confirmed: [C2] The discussion includes scouting, but it does not define an official photo-reading rule. Treat an iron nest recon photo as current evidence rather than a reusable answer sheet, and do not invent hidden identities or coordinates. Whether this reconnaissance is necessary in every attempt is To be confirmed.

Observer and Spotter Clues

How to Use Spotter Clues

Player report - To be confirmed: [C2] The iron nest spotter one clue and an observer priority tactic appear in community discussion. They do not establish a mandatory first target, permanent spotter behavior, or a fixed priority. Apply them only as hypotheses against the objective visible in the current build.

Shell Choice and Firing Claims

Damage for every shell and any required-hit threshold are To be confirmed. The threads describe different experiments and do not establish a universal ammunition formula. Keep each claim attached to its source:

  • Player report - To be confirmed: [C1] AP/APHE appears in one reported attempt, not an official recommendation.
  • Player report - To be confirmed: [C2] HCHE appears as a community tactic, with no verified effect or success promise.
  • Player report - To be confirmed: [C1] Two-gun fire using both cannons is reported, but it is not confirmed as required.

Follow-up Reconnaissance

Player report - To be confirmed: [C1] One thread describes reacquiring the battery after reported movement. This re-reconnaissance is not confirmed as a universal phase or fixed trigger. If the current game reports movement, treat the old solution as stale rather than guessing a replacement location.

Failure Analysis Without Invented Rules

After a failed attempt, compare each decision with the objective and the source marker that supported it. Damage, required hits, target count, coordinates, and exact timing all remain To be confirmed, so none should be reverse-engineered from one result. Preserve the visible reports when asking for help, and return to the Beginner Guide for operating fundamentals.

Sources and Evidence Limits

Current source status: community evidence only

Both links are current player discussions, not official documentation. Source markers identify which thread supports each reported claim. All such claims remain current-version-sensitive.

  • [C1] Grade C · player discussion: How do I beat Phantom Battery? Current source confirmed only as discussion, not official authority. Claims carrying [C1] remain Player reports - To be confirmed.
