Global flag ET Paganini (ES SPECIAL) Type : Unlockable Flag (Hex) : 2 Flag (Dec) : 2 Bitmask (Hex) : 00000020 Bitmask (Dec) : 32

If the player brings Paganini the data from the top of the Control Tower during The East Tower, the "Modify ES Weapon" option will be available in Paganini's exchange in Gallon's Shop for the character that completes this sidequest (which can be completed on any difficulty). The East Tower

The "Modify ES Weapon" option allows the player to trade Photon Drops in exchange for adding a special attack to their ES weapon, with the available specials depending on the number of Photon Drops in the player's inventory and the ES Weapon in question.

Note that unlike Paganini's exchange, adding specials to ES weapons will only consume the indicated number of Photon Drops for the special added, rather than all Photon Drops carried in the inventory.

Special Rank	Specials Offered	Photon Drops
D-Rank	HP Revival*, TP Revival*	20
C-Rank	Blizzard, Burning, Tempest	30
B-Rank	Berserk, Chaos, Geist, Gush, King's, Spirit	40
A-Rank	Arrest, Demon's, Hell	50
S-Rank	Jellen (Lv. 21), Zalure (Lv. 21)	60

^{* Note: HP Revival and TP Revival refer to passive recovery over time, similar to the HP/Revival and TP/Revival units.}

The following restrictions apply to adding specials to ES Weapons:

• ES Knuckle cannot receive HP Revival or TP Revival
• ES Psychogun can only receive HP Revival or TP Revival
• ES Windmill can only receive HP Revival, TP Revival, Jellen, or Zalure

To unlock this option, follow these steps:

• Start the quest The East Tower
• Talk to Hopkins in the lab (he is in the same place you would find him in Gallon's Shop to access Paganini)
• Kill Epsilon on the top floor of the Control Tower, then interact with the terminal (you will receive a Quest Board item)
  • Upon killing Epsilon, player teleporters (via Telepipe or Ryuker) can no longer be created, and any that are active will be turned off. The gate in the Lab leading to the Central Control Area will also become locked. If you use the provided teleporter before interacting with the terminal, you will be forced to redo the quest to complete the sidequest
• Return to the lab and talk to Hopkins before ending the quest

Note: Paganini will no longer be accessible in this quest for that character once you have done this, and Hopkins will only state that, "My father is working on a huge project right now.", which can serve as an alternative method of checking completion.
