BSTRD's Area is the first secret segment found in Collapse, first, to unlock this area, Movefoe has to be defeated, and then you have to go back to the Timestopper Room.
Initial Visit
Upon re-entering the Timestopper Room, an archival vein explodes near the corner of the room, the team, who are surprised, go inside and investigate what caused it to explode.
Entering, there is a long hallway with an Archival Golem and Jutskin at the end, both parties slowly moving forward before they inevitably fight. Moments before fighting though, BSTRD appears, and says that this section of the memory has become "EVIL MODE!!!" and is "XTRA HARD!!!" After the Interloper talks to BSTRD for a bit, BSTRD leaves and the fight begins.
After defeating the enemies, they move forward to a central room, with a locked BSTRD Door in front of them. BSTRD appears on the door, and tells the team that they have to get a "cool orb thingy" and a "scary black box". So they set off and defeat the enemies in this room, and explore the rooms on the left and right.
In the room on the left, a miscellany of enemies attack them, after they defeat the enemies, and find an Unnerving Cyst, that Tozik tries to connect to, but fails, Gakvu takes the cyst and inspects it, seeing that it's locked. And that it also says "ON THE USE OF BRIGHT WEAPONRY" on it, they conclude that it's probably Kazki's cyst that wasn't delivered yet.
In the room on the right, a half-dozen Hostile Containers and a BSTRDlight attacks them, whom they defeat. After they defeat, they find a sensitive materials box sent by the Bright Cousins, and Akizet almost reveals her knowledge of an "experimental corru to bright lightning converter".
They bring both items to the BSTRD Door who invites them inside, saying it has a "surprise" for them.
The surprise, it seems, is an Archival Shelf shaped as a Secri, which quickly skitters toward Akizet and her group, intending to kill them; accompanied by a Jutskin and a BSTRDlight. After they defeat the enemies, they move on to the next room.
In the next room, BSTRD makes an appearance once again, on an Archival Golem this time, in front of the BSTRD Golem is the "scary black box" and presumably inside its chassis, the "cool orb thingy", it also has a belt of Kavrukas around its chest. It reaches into the box and pulls out an assault rifle, which it loads, and aims the gun toward Akizet and her friends. The battle starts.
The BSTRD Golem is incoherent, and it changes the thoughtform to be a bullet hell similar to Movefoe, but instead it throws its Kavrukas and shoots bullets. During this minigame, Kavrukas can be disabled right before they hit the ground, but if they aren't disabled, they'll slowly make the space smaller and smaller.
During its last stand, the BSTRD Golem uses everything its got, double bullets and more Kavrukas, before it dies.
After the BSTRD Golem is defeated, it falls to the floor, but it can still talk, the BSTRD Golem tells the group that it found something outside and will give it to them. Gakvu asks if it wants to work with them, but the BSTRD Golem responds with a simple "no i gotta kill u guys sry." Then it dies.
Akizet goes and takes the cyst, which has the marking "SORRY" on it, inside the cyst is a weapon schematic, that unlocks the Symbiotic Rifle Augment in Golem Maintenance. Akizet says that they should go back to the Movefriend and move on, since they deviated for long enough.
