LATEST UPDATES - G0300 =============================================================================== =============================================================================== - Version Shion (16th February 2008) # Polishing the guide. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== 04.) INTRODUCTION - G0400 =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Hello! I am Damir Kolar and I welcome you to our new project. Our? I won't be alone in this project - Kouli has agreed to help me make this guide possible, therefore what you're about to read is a result of team effort. NA version of XS:E2 is here! Released on 15th February in US, it has come to greet the Xenofans once again, after having to wait for it for around two years. If you remember my intro into XS:E1 guide, I stated I wanted to write a guide for each episode of XS. This guide was originally based on Japanese version of XS:E2 (out on 24th June 2004), but since then we have already fixed lots of things to make it "NA-player-friendly". Here we go... Xenosaga: Episode 2 guide! Now let us to address some things: - Picture coverage - Split purchased a TV Tuner, thus enabling him to play games directly onto his PC. Meaning? A precise pictures being taken, as you can already see throughout whole guide. With those pics we shall be able to assist players in understanding the battle engine, menu navigation and more. Most important helpful aspect these pics will have is providing visual reference to solving the puzzles and the like. Split will upload the pics on webspace for you to view and successfully complete the task at hand. No more confusing ways of navigating the dungeon or looking for particular item. - Basics section - oh boy... Kouli did a fine explanation in his Demo guide, which Split shall use as a reference to create easy to understand Basics section for this guide. Split will no longer make complicated explanation of battle engine, but will instead focus on brief and quick-to-grasp lowdowns on what you, the player, need to know. Since we shall cover Japanese version first, pictures helping you know what-is-where shall be included as well. - Spoiler issue - we're the players of the game, just like you (who is reading this guide) are. First time we've played through the game was completely by ourselves - therefore nothing was spoiled for us. All the story elements that were supposed to surprise us had such effect. However, as we expect that many players shall import XS:E2 overseas and they may not understand what's going on in the scenes, we may include spoilers - but they shall be promptly noted. - Usage of abbreviations. Split will drop the act-of-abbr for this guide for the most part. Only things that will be abbreviated is some of the most commonly used words, like 'chr' for 'character'. Are you ready? Power up your PS2, open the disc tray, pop in Xenosaga: E2 DVD, close the disc tray, wait for Start Menu, then select New Game. May the saga continue... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quick Tips On Importing In order to play a Japanese game for the PS2, you'll need a Japanese PS2. I do not recommend any other method such as the mod chip. You can get a Japanese PS2 at the following sites: liksang.com play-asia.com japanvideogames.com ncsx.com If you live in North America, you DO NOT need a power converter. A Japanese PS2 is all you need. If you live in Europe, you will need one. As for memory cards and controllers, you don't need Japanese ones. Unlike the PS2 which has region locks, memory cards and controllers do not have them, therefore it can be said they are region free. This applies to most other accessories unless it's stated otherwise. So, once again, a Japanese PS2 is all you need. Back on the game, you will need a Japanese version of Xenosaga Episode II. The game and the console need to be the same region. To get yourself a copy of Xenosaga Episode II (Japanese version), you can try the above sites as well. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== 05.)

CONTROL BASICS - G0600 =============================================================================== =============================================================================== There's three different game modes in XS:E2, and each of those modes has a different control scheme. Main menu also uses different control scheme. Use this section to learn what actions do the buttons on PS2 controller perform.

HOW TO BEGIN - G0700 =============================================================================== =============================================================================== After you have inserted XS:E2 disc in PS2, wait for few official logos to go by before title screen appears. It will have two options: NEW GAME - This option will allow you to start a brand new game. Watch the introduction scene and after a while you will have the control in your hands. Happy gaming! CONTINUE - This option allows you to continue the game from previously saved data. Once you select [Continue], choose which memory card you wish to load the saved data from, and then select the data you wish to load. You will be asked for confirmation, so select [Yes] and loading is complete. Oh, before you forget - you will need a memory card to be able to save your progress. It is highly improbable (though possible) you will beat this game in one sitting, and being able to save progress on memory card is invaluable. How does one save anyway? During your quest you will find yellow UMN pillars floating in the air - these are save points. Simply walk into one and press Circle to bring up save menu. Choose memory card slot, and then select a spot you would like to save. You need at least 292KB of space on your memory card to make one save slot. If data already exists on the spot you wish to save, you will be asked if you want to overwrite the previous data. MAKE SURE YOU SAVE EARLY AND THAT YOU SAVE OFTEN! You might as well keep multiple saves around, just in case something goes horribly wrong - by having more than one save, you can reload and try to beef yourself up. As for memory card, it's region free which means that if you're playing XS:E2 Japanese version with a Japanese PS2 or a NA/PAL PS2 with modchip or any other method, you don't need a Japanese PS2 memory card. Either Japanese, NA or PAL PS2 memory card is fine. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== 08.) THREE GAME MODES - G0800 =============================================================================== =============================================================================== XS:E2 consists of three main modes. They're briefly explained in this section. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ---------------------------------- QUEST MODE --------------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Quest mode will be one of the modes you'll be using quite a lot. In this mode you will be required to explore your surrounding and possibly complete various tasks to help you advance the story. What could fall under the tasks? Many things, like talking to various NPCs, defeating a boss enemy, or solving a puzzle. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- --------------------------------- BATTLE MODE --------------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Sometime during the quest mode you will see enemies onscreen. Touch one and you will enter the battle mode. Please note that there are no random battles - you will always see your enemies before engaging them. The battle ends once: - your party has killed all enemies - your party escaped - you kill some enemies, but then escape After battle ends, you will receive items, EXP, CPTS and SPTS (if you escape, if you *killed* at least one enemy, you also get that enemy's spoils). If all of your battling chrs/mechs become KO-ed or disabled in some other way (ie being affected by H Stop status) you receive Game Over and will need to reload an earlier save to resume. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -------------------------------- CINEMATIC MODE ------------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- You have no control over this mode other than to press Start to pause and unpause (and press Triangle to skip the scene while pause is active). What you do in this mode is sit back, relax and enjoy yourself in the story. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== 09.) MAIN MENU - G0900 =============================================================================== =============================================================================== When you open the main menu and depending on whether or not your chrs are inside mechs, this is what you will see - at the top you have seven choices (later turns into nine): Items, Ether, Skills, Tech, Status, Party, Options. Most of the center screen is occupied by ATTACKER and RESERVE boxes. ATTACKER - Inside this square you will find info on chrs which are assigned to your frontline party and actively participate in battles whenever one occurs. Chr in [Attacker] box displays following information: - chr's avatar - chr's name and current level - chr's current and maximum HP value: if current HP is reduced to zero (0), chr becomes KO-ed and cannot fight until revived - chr's current and maximum EP value: if current EP is reduced to zero (0), chr cannot use ethers - amount of EXP needed to reach next level RESERVE - Inside this square you will find info on chrs which are assigned as reserve - this means that they are not a part of your frontline party and as such do not participate in battles, unless switched into [Attacker] line. Chr in [Reserve] box displays following information: - chr's avatar - chr's name and current level - chr's current and maximum HP value: if current HP is reduced to zero (0), chr becomes KO-ed and cannot fight until revived - chr's current and maximum EP value: if current EP is reduced to zero (0), chr cannot use ethers There's two additional boxes in lower right corner. EXTRA - Chrs listed here are in your party, but only for storyline purposes. Unless specified otherwise, they can never actively participate in battles. TIME - Your current playing time. What follows now is brief overview of the choices at top of the screen. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -------------------------------- ITEMS SUBMENU -------------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This submenu is divided into two subcategories. ITEMS - This category allows you to view, use and/or arrange items you've acquired so far. Here you'll find mostly curative items, or items which enhance your statistics, or items which you can sell for cash. SPECIAL ITEMS - This category allows you to view items which are important to the story in one way or another. It also contains items that may be important part of some subquest. To cycle between multiple pages quickly, press L1 or R1. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -------------------------------- ETHER SUBMENU -------------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- First you select the command box, then select the chr or mech (however, not all mechs are capable of using ether attacks). Inside this submenu you can view, arrange or use ether skills you've learned so far for your chrs. Please note that you can only use curative type ethers to heal your chrs, and that you also need to have sufficient EP in order to use the relevant ethers. If you do not have enough EP, or the ether you're trying to use is not of curative type, such ethers will be greyed out. Unlike XS:E1 where you were quite limited in which ethers you could equip, this is no longer an obstacle here. Any ether that chr learns will be available for using inside battles. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -------------------------------- SKILLS SUBMENU ------------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- First you select the command box, then select the chr. Theoretically, let's say we have selected KOS-MOS. For her it would say this info: - Class Level : 1 - C.Pt : 1200 - Learned S : 0 - S.Pt : 2400 This means that KOS-MOS' class level is 1, and she hasn't learned any skills yet. As for the points, she has 1200 class points, and 2400 skill points. Got that? Good, let's continue. Within Skills, you fill find two other options, [Skill] and [Tutorial]. Select [Skill] to continue, or [Tutorial] for some game's help on this subject. When [Skill] is selected, you will see this information for KOS-MOS: - Level 1: PASS (License) - Level 2: ---- (License) - Level 3: ---- (License) - Level 4: ---- (License) While Level 1 is highlighted, you can advance to the route for that level. But in order to do so, you do not press Circle - you press right directional. Here's what you will see once you're on route of Level 1: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Class A SPT | Class B SPT | Class C SPT | Class D SPT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Medica 200 | Attacker 200 | Analyze 150 | Down Dex 150 Refresh L 150 | Defender 200 | Memory 100 | Break Sensors 150 Poison Guard 100 | STR+2 100 | EATK+2 150 | DEX+2 150 Blind Guard 100 | VIT+2 150 | EDEF+2 150 | EVA+2 150 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Class E SPT | Class F SPT | Class G SPT | Class H SPT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ice Blast 200 | Down Force 150 | Break Arms 150 | Psycho Pocket 300* Flame Blast 200 | Down P Def 150 | Break Armor 150 | Break B10 400* Thunder Blast 200 | Down Ether 150 | Break Beam 150 | Focus 1 600* Aura Blast 200 | Down E Def 150 | Break Shield 150 | Ep Regen 600* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Note: Four skills in class H appear as question marks first. That's because you need to find special items called Secret Keys to unlock the relevant skills. In total there's 31 skills that are locked and require Secret Keys. Note: Charts look the same for Level 2 and 3 as well, except that there are different skills to be learned. And Level 4 only has Classes A-D. For example, you want KOS-MOS to learn Medica, which is Class A skill. KOS-MOS must expend 300 CPTS and thus she will gain access to Class A skill range. For the second step KOS-MOS must now expend 200 SPTS and voila! She has learned Medica. Medica skill now receives a tiny cute star to indicate that skill has been activated. Now it's time I tell you CPTS needed to activate classes on different levels: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Level | Class range | CPTS needed to activate | Skill total ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LEVEL 1 | From A to H | 300 for A-G, 600 for H | 32 skills LEVEL 2 | From A to H | 600 for A-G, 1200 for H | 32 skills LEVEL 3 | From A to H | 1200 for A-G, 2400 for H | 32 skills LEVEL 4 | From A to D | 2400 for A-C, 4800 for D | 16 skills ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One more thing you want to know is how to gain access to Level 2 and above. It's quite simple - by learning enough skills on Level 1, KOS-MOS will eventually PASS Level 2, which will be noted like this: - Level 1: PASS (License) - Level 2: PASS (License) - Level 3: ---- (License) - Level 4: ---- (License) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Level | What must be done to PASS next Level ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LEVEL 1 | Master at least one class to PASS level 2 requirement. LEVEL 2 | Master at least one class to PASS level 3 requirement. LEVEL 3 | Master at least one class to PASS level 4 requirement. LEVEL 4 | Maximum Level achieved. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some final notes: - CPTS and SPTS are gained after winning a battle, as well as learning four skills from one level (the game will give you bonus CPTS). - Skills can only be equipped on chrs. - There's three types of skills (designated by a small icon) a) ETHER SKILLS - marked with waterdrop icon, these are skills which become available for casting during combat b) EQUIP SKILLS - marked with bangle sign, these are skills which you can equip on your chrs under Status submenu C) AUTO SKILLS - marked with black figurine sign, these are skills which are automatically activated once they've been learned -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- --------------------------------- TECH SUBMENU -------------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- First you select the command box, then select the chr or mech. If mech is selected, you will have the option of choosing between: NORMAL ATTACK - Lets you view available normal attacks and their properties. SPECIAL ATTACK - Lets you view available special attacks and their properties. Note that to be able to use specials, mech must have both pilot and subpilot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If chr is selected, you will have the option of choosing between: SINGLE TECH - Lets you view available single tech attacks and their properties. DOUBLE TECH - Lets you view available double tech attacks and their properties. Info on attacks' properties and possible combinations will be described in section 18 and 19 of this guide. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -------------------------------- STATUS SUBMENU ------------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- First you select the command box, then select the chr or mech. If mech is selected, you will see chosen mech's statistics: LEVEL - Mech's current level. HP - Amount of hit points. First figure displayed is mech's current, the second figure displayed is mech's MAX HP. If first figure becomes zero, mech becomes disabled. EP - Ether power. First figure displayed is mech's current, the second figure displayed is mech's MAX EP. If first figure becomes zero, mech can't use ether attacks. NEXT LV - Amount of EXP needed to reach next level.

QUEST MODE - G1000 =============================================================================== =============================================================================== A more detailed explanation of quest mode and its actions is what you will find out about in this section. First of all, what can you do on quest mode screens? - Talk to people for info or directions on where to go. Some people may even award you with items or require assistance from your group. - Find save point and recover your HP/EP as well as save your current progress. - Or simply be bent on destructive side and go ballistic with destroying stuff, killing enemies and perhaps even finding a treasure chest. - There's no shops, no money, no armor and no weapons. Okay, that was pretty short, now let's expand... RUN / WALK - Sometimes it's important to distinguish between these two moving... er, 'modes'. While running is sure to allow you to cover distance quickly, walking slowly past enemy's back is sometimes smarter than taking said enemy head on. You can walk by holding down R2 as chr/mech is moving around. TALK / EXAMINE - Whenever you meet a new person, talk to him/her several times until he/she starts repeating, meaning you've milked out all information you can. Talking to people is also helpful if you ever forget what the heck it was you were doing. Opening the door or chest is done by pressing Circle. DESTROY - Often times you will come across objects which seem to bar your progress. Get close enough and lock-on cursor will appear - this means that you can destroy the obstacle in your way by pressing Square. The purpose of destroying these obstacles is to advance further, to get access to the chest, or to lure enemy's attentions somewhere else - it could also be a part of the puzzle or hiding an item. If more than one target is available, you can switch between them with L1/R1. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== 11.) BATTLE MODE - G1100 =============================================================================== =============================================================================== There's two distinctive battle modes you will have to get familiar with. I will discuss mech battles first, followed by chrs' battles. Please refer to the picture below for brief overlook of how does battle screen look like if you're inside mech. kolardamir.com/xse2/pics/mech_battle.jpg We'll discuss six important aspects of mech battles: - Group turn window - event slot - mech status window - button display - target indicator - battle menu -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------ MECH GROUP TURN WINDOW, BOOST GAUGE & TARGET INFO BOX ------------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Marked with number 1 on the picture I linked to above, this window holds a plethora of info you must make use of. MOVEMENT ORDER - You will usually see an icon of E.S Asher and then an icon with letter 'M' (meaning Mech, as in mech enemy type). So if E.S Asher is located first to the left of the 'M' icon, that means, you will go first. Besides 'M', there are also 'B' (biological enemy type) and 'G' (gnosis enemy type). When one of your mechs has a turn any you're selecting an enemy, if enemy's corresponding letter icon (M, B or G) pops up and is higher than your E.S Asher icon, that means this enemy is within the 'line of order' of attacks. Normally, you will want to take out such enemies first. BOOST GAUGE - Just above movement order, you will see a gauge, with number that can range from 0 to 3 and the word [Player]. This is your boost gauge. And below movement order you will see another gauge with number that can range from 0 to 3 and the word [Enemy]. This is enemy's boost gauge. By using normal techs BG increases in increments of 20%. However, by using normal techs when the event slot shows BST (boost gauge up), BG will raise by 60%! Sometimes the BG is raised by whopping 100% (we're assuming that this is done on random basis). Same applies for enemies, so take that into account. In order to be able to boost, your boost gauge must be at least 1 - now hold R1 or R2 button and press one of following buttons - Square if you want to boost mech whose avatar is located in top left corner of the screen, and Triangle if you want to boost mech whose avatar is located at the right corner of the screen. You cannot boost mech/s whose icons appear in movement order (unless pilot of E.S is equipped with Combo Boost skill). Mech/s also cannot boost if affected by L Stun, H Stun, H Stop or H Boost Lock. Enemies can't boost under same conditions as well. TARGET INFORMATION - You see the enemy's name, HP (that is, how many HP are left before target is KO-ed), IA (look below) and ST. INTERCEPT PROBABILITY - Intercept Attack is a peculiar addition to mech battle. After mech uses the command Stock and until mech's next turn, just as the enemy is about to launch an attack, it is possible that the enemy's single target attack will be prevented by the present intercept probability (IA for short). To raise it, just do normal/basic attacks (Triangle or Square). However, if an enemy does a critical attack on your mech, that mech's IA will be halved, so be careful. In order to view your own IA, press X to get into the battle menu and you will see your IA with a number to the right of it. Normal techs add +10 to IA. If critical damage was inflicted, +20 to IA. IA's max value is 100. Once Intercept is used, IA's value drops to 0. ST - Whenever the target is affected by a status change, a letter will appear here. Those letters can be: L - L type status, usually gone after 5 target's turns H - H type status, remains until target is KO-ed, battle ends or other effects are to be counted S - S type status, usually gone after 5 target's turns L and H consist of negative status changes, while S is allied with positive status changes. L and H type can also be cured with respective items or ether abilities, while S type can be nulled by some ether abilities. Any type of status is gone if target undergoes KO. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------------------- MECH EVENT SLOT ------------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Marked with number 2 on the picture I linked to above, event slot may become bane of your or enemy's existence. Its effects can be one of the following: CTC - chances for critical attacks are upped by 50% BST - boost gauge up SKL - multiplies SPTS received when you defeat enemies (valid only for chr battles!) ? - it's random and can be the following: - ETR: ether damage and *ether* healing up by 50% - T-C: target *receiving* the attack will lose its next turn, but *only* applies if target's avatar appears in group turn window - RV : target's boost gauge increases if attacked (if multiple targets are hit, BG increases for respective amount of targets as well) - NON: nothing Event slot changes for each turn in battle and goes in fixed order. CTC -> BST -> SKL -> ? -> CTC -> BST -> SKL -> ? -> CTC etc. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------------------ MECH STATUS WINDOW ----------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This window is located at the top of the screen and is marked with number 3 on the picture I linked to above. It has following information: AVATAR - picture of the mech HP - Remaining hit points. Green bar below the HP represents how close current HP is to MAX HP, so... The fuller green bar below HP is, the closer mech's HP is to MAX HP. If current HP becomes zero (0), mech becomes disabled and cannot continue battling. EP - Remaining ether points. Purple bar below the EP represents how close current EP is to MAX EP, so... The fuller purple bar below EP is, the closer mech's EP is to MAX EP. If current EP becomes zero (0), mech cannot cast ether skills. EC - Stands for energy charge. Maximum value of this bar is 200 and is represented by red bar. EC fills by 25 pts for each attack you make, and fills by 100 by using Stock command. EC is needed for executing special attacks. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ----------------------------- MECH BUTTON DISPLAY ----------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Marked with number 4 on the picture I linked to above, the buttons. Heh. When it's your mech's turn, you will see which attacks are available to you. They will be represented by corresponding button on your controller. To the right of the buttons you will see more icons, which represent properties of the particular attack. Generally, Square launches close-combat attacks, whereas Triangle launches distant and/or ether attacks. Here's some scoop on those icons that tell you about properties: - P letter: physical attack - E letter: ether attack - Running-like symbol: close range attack - Wing symbol: far range attack - Fist symbol: attack with hit attribute - Sword symbol: attack with slash attribute - Gun symbol: attack with pierce attribute - Fireball symbol: attack with fire element attribute - Ice drop symbol: attack with ice element attribute - Lightning symbol: attack with thunder element attribute - Weird symbol with small circle inside: attack with aura element attribute - Red-line-across-like symbol: attack with beam element attribute - Up arrow in a rectangle like symbol: attack that knocks target in the air - Down arrow in a rectangle like symbol: attack that knocks target down -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------------------- MECH BATTLE MENU ------------------------------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Marked with number 5 on the picture I linked to above (note that there isn't any battle menu itself shown in the picture, but it is where it will appear when you press X button). There's two battle menus you can access, and I'll refer to them as primary and secondary battle menu. PRIMARY - Opens by pressing X button when it's your mech's turn. It leads to BATTLE following subchoices: MENU - STOCK - 100% charge robot energy, current charge % is shown by EC - ETHER - use available ether skills (only Zebulun can use Ether!) - SPECIAL - use available tech attacks (depends on subpilot) - MOVE - If possible, move to another location during battle SECONDARY - After you access primary battle menu, press left or right and BATTLE you will access this menu with following subchoices: MENU - CHANGE - change chr during battle - ESCAPE - flee from battle -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ---------------------------- MECH TARGET INDICATOR ---------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Marked with number 6 on the picture I linked to above, there's not much to tell about it, except few things... FRONT TARGET INDICATOR - Denotes that mech which is currently up is facing its target face-to-face. Down arrow is colored blue and word [Front] is displayed. BACK TARGET INDICATOR - Denotes that mech which is currently up is facing its target face-to-back. Down arrow is colored red and word [Back] is displayed. Attacking the enemy's back will ensure 100% aim, and icrease the critical hit rate by 50%. Same holds true for enemies attacking your back. ALLY TARGET INDICATOR - Denotes that mech which is currently up is performing a task either on itself or its ally. Down arrow is colored green and word [Select] is displayed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important aspect of Move command When using Move command, be careful - mech will *not* automatically face the enemy! Instead it will have its back turned to enemies, thus being temporarily susceptible to back hit. You must use a normal or special attack afterwards to force your mech into being properly face-to-face with enemies. - Before Move command is used (arrows indicate combatant's view direction) Mech1 --> <-- Enemy1 Mech2 --> <-- Enemy2 All of the above combatants face each other face-to-face. Back hit impossible. - Mech1 uses Move command <-- Enemy1 BACK HIT!!! Mech1 --> Mech2 --> <-- Enemy2 Mech1 has its back turned towards enemies! As such it's susceptible to back hit. - Mech1 uses normal tech or special tech <-- Enemy1 BACK HIT!!! <-- Mech1 Mech2 --> <-- Enemy2 BACK HIT!!! Mech1 now faces both enemies properly and can perform back hit provided it hits their backs. Please note that using ether moves will *not* force mech1 to turn around. You *must* use normal or special tech. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That does it for mech battles. Now all that's left is character battles. kolardamir.com/xse2/pics/character_battle.jpg -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- --------- CHARACTER GROUP TURN WINDOW, BOOST GAUGE & TARGET INFO BOX ---------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Marked with number 1 on the picture I linked to above, this window holds a plethora of info you must make use of. MOVEMENT ORDER - The understanding of this aspect is exactly the same as in [Mech group turn window] tutorial I gave above, so please refer to that. BOOST GAUGE - Just above movement order, you will see a gauge, with number that can range from 0 to 3 and the word [Player]. This is your boost gauge. And below movement order you will see another gauge with number that can range from 0 to 3 and the word [Enemy]. This is enemy's boost gauge. With the help of an item called Boost Max you can increase the value of your BG up to 5 segments. However, this is only valid until the end of current battle. By using normal techs BG increases in increments of 20%. However, by using normal techs when the event slot shows BST (boost gauge up), BG will raise by 60%! Sometimes the BG is raised by whopping 100% (we're assuming that this is done on random basis). Same applies for enemies, so take that into account. In order to be able to boost, your boost gauge must be at least 1 - now hold R1 or R2 button and press one of following buttons - Square if you want to boost chr whose avatar is located in top left corner of the screen, Triangle if you want to boost chr whose avatar is located at the top of the screen, and Circle if you want to boost chr whose avatar is located at the top right of the screen. You cannot boost chr/s whose icons appear in movement order (unless chr is equipped with Combo Boost skill). In addition, boost gauge with value of at least 1 is needed for executing double techs. Chr/s that are under Air or Down effect CANNOT BOOST! Same applies if chr is afflicted with L Stun, H Stun, H Stop or H Boost Lock. Enemies can't boost under same conditions as well. TARGET INFORMATION - You see the enemy's name, HP (that is, how many HP are left before target is killed), ST and ZONE (look below for more info). ABOUT Whenever the target is affected by a status change, a letter will ST appear here. Those letters can be: L - L type status, is gone after 5 target's turns H - H type status, remains until target is KO-ed or battle ends S - S type status, usually gone after 5 target's turns L and H consist of negative status changes, while S is allied with positive status changes. L and H type can also be cured with respective items or ether abilities, while S type can be nulled by some ether abilities. Any type of status is gone if target is KO-ed. ABOUT If you look at the enemy data, you see Zone and one, two, three or ZONE even four letters of A, B or C. Zone is defined to most enemies in a character battle. There are 3 zones: - A Zone: Image about 3m or more - B Zone: Image between 1m to 3m - C Zone: Image about 1m or below Note that some characters are unable to attack the A Zone. When you encounter a new enemy for the first time, its Zone will be shown as a question mark. Quite understandable, right? As soon as you find it out, question mark is replaced by correct combo string. Square is for B Zone attack. Triangle is for C Zone attack. Circle is for ABC (BC) Zone attack, depending on circumstances. Break is the event when you hit the enemy's zone weakness correctly (some weakness patterns are BC, BBB, BCBC, etc). When you attack, the game will show signs of strike zone reports - if the zone hit appears as red, that means you found a weak spot; and if it's white, then it's just the normal zone. Let's take an enemy with zone weakness at BB - if you attack it with Square which attacks B zone, and then Triangle that attacks C zone, you will get a red B and white C. If you try Triangle then Square, you get a white C and red B. But, if you try Square and Square, you will get the best results for it - red B and red B. In other words, you will perform a Break. On the enemy data, you will see enemy's weak zone, but only if at least one chr in current fighting party has the skill 'Memory' learned. This also saves you time trying to memorize Break sequences for various enemies. ABOUT When Break happens, use the Circle attack, which will possibly BREAK, generate Air or Down, ultimately decided by the character. Ziggy has AIR & Burst Blow (Down), chaos has Spirit Strike (Down), Jin has Tornado DOWN Strike (Air) and KOS-MOS has T-ARTS 5 (Air). Needless to say, enemies EFFECTS can use Air or Down effect attacks on your party as well, hehe. There is a special case involving Air and Down effects when it comes to enemies and/or chrs falling down from Air effect. Let's say your party is Shion, KOS-MOS and MOMO. KOS-MOS does a Break on the enemy, and launches it in the Air. Girls perform boosts and empty their SG. After you've done all you can, the enemy will fall onto the ground FROM Air effect INTO Down effect. *Unless* that enemy has next turn, it will STAY in Down effect until next turn. Normally, same applies for your chrs. ABOUT You can deal increased damage under following circumstances: DAMAGE - Break: normal damage x 1,5 BONUSES - Air: normal damage x 2 - Down: normal damage x 2 - Critical: normal damage x 1,5 - Hi-Critical: normal damage x 2,5 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ----------------------------- CHARACTER EVENT SLOT ---------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Marked with number 2 on the picture I linked to above, event slot may become bane of your or enemy's existence. The understanding of this aspect is exactly the same as in [Mech event slot] tutorial I gave above, so please refer to that. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- --------------------------- CHARACTER STATUS WINDOW --------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This window is located at the top of the screen and is marked with number 3 on the picture I linked to above. It has following information: AVATAR - picture of the character HP - Remaining hit points. Green bar below the HP represents how close current HP is to MAX HP, so... The fuller green bar below HP is, the closer chr's HP is to MAX HP. If current HP becomes zero (0), chr is KO-ed and cannot continue battling unless revived. EP - Remaining ether points. Purple bar below the EP represents how close current EP is to MAX EP, so... The fuller green bar below EP is, the closer chr's EP is to MAX EP. If current EP becomes zero (0), chr cannot cast ether skills. ST - Stands for stock. Maximum value of this bar is 3 and is represented by three squares. ST fills by 1 square for each Stock command you make. ST is needed for executing double techs. ST is also gained from Break bonus. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- --------------------------- CHARACTER BUTTON DISPLAY -------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Marked with number 4 on the picture I linked to above, the buttons. Heh. When it's your chr's turn, you will see which attacks are available to you. They will be represented by corresponding button on your controller. To the right of the buttons you will see more icons, which represent properties of the particular attack. Generally, Square launches close-combat attacks, whereas Triangle launches distant and/or ether attacks. Here's some scoop on those icons that tell you about properties: - P letter: physical attack - E letter: ether attack - Running-like symbol: close range attack - Wing symbol: far range attack - Fist symbol: attack with hit attribute - Sword symbol: attack with slash attribute - Gun symbol: attack with pierce attribute - Fireball symbol: attack with fire element attribute - Ice drop symbol: attack with ice element attribute - Lightning symbol: attack with thunder element attribute - Weird symbol with small circle inside: attack with aura element attribute - Red-line-across-like symbol: attack with beam element attribute - Up arrow in a rectangle like symbol: attack that knocks target in the air - Down arrow in a rectangle like symbol: attack that knocks target down You can perform these combos: - Triangle Triangle - Triangle Square - Square Square - Square Triangle - Circle (can also be chained if you have enough SG) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ---------------------------- CHARACTER BATTLE MENU ---------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Marked with number 5 on the picture I linked to above. There's two battle menus you can access, and I'll refer to them as primary and secondary battle menu. PRIMARY - Opens by pressing X button when it's your chr's turn. It leads to BATTLE following subchoices: MENU - STOCK - charges 1/3 of chr's ST gauge - ETHER - use available ether skills - ITEM - use one of the items in your possession - DOUBLE - use available double techs (there's three requirements which must be met: correct partner chrs in battle party, enough ST for both chrs and boost gauge with value of 1 [you must boost the second chr]) - MOVE - If possible, move to another location during battle SECONDARY - After you access primary battle menu, press left or right and BATTLE you will access this menu with following subchoices: MENU - CHANGE - change chr during battle - ESCAPE - flee from battle - SPECIAL - special command (for KOS-MOS only) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -------------------------- CHARACTER TARGET INDICATOR ------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Marked with number 6 on the picture I linked to above. The understanding of this aspect is exactly the same as in [Mech target indicator] tutorial I gave above, so please refer to that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important aspect of Move command When using Move command, be careful - chr will *not* automatically face the enemy! Instead it will have his/her back turned to enemies, thus being temporarily susceptible to back hit. You must use a normal attack afterwards to force your chr into being properly face-to-face with enemies. Allow me to show you with a simple chart: - Before Move command is used (arrows indicate combatant's view direction) Chr1 --> <-- Enemy1 Chr2 --> <-- Enemy2 Chr3 --> <-- Enemy3 All of the above combatants face each other face-to-face. Back hit impossible. - Chr1 uses Move command <-- Enemy1 BACK HIT!!! Chr1 --> Chr2 --> <-- Enemy2 Chr3 --> <-- Enemy3 Chr1 has his back turned towards enemies! As such he's susceptible to back hit. - Chr1 uses normal tech or double tech <-- Enemy1 BACK HIT!!! <-- Chr1 Chr2 --> <-- Enemy2 BACK HIT!!! Chr3 --> <-- Enemy3 BACK HIT!!! Chr1 now faces all three enemies properly and can perform back hit provided he hits their backs. Please note that using ether moves will *not* force chr1 to turn around. You *must* use normal tech or double tech. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Second Way to Stock (Character Battle): Let's take an enemy with BC Break sequence. You enter the correct button combo (which is Square then Triangle in this case) to initiate Break. Sometimes, even with zero stock, you can still push Circle afterwards! This is known as Break Bonus, and it adds one stock to chr's SG. There is a way to force the probability to always appear and that is by pressing X after the button combination, but before pressing Circle! Split comments: I've been able to do this pretty consistently with MOMO, who had 1 stock in her SG. I went into battle with Aiakos (Break is BB) - when MOMO's turn was up, I pressed Circle twice in quick succession, then immediately X afterwards. Break Bonus was always awarded, so on MOMO's next I was again able to launch two attacks. You can perform the same with other chrs as well, but it requires you to master the timing of pressing X very quickly after you initiated Break. Now, to continue... For example, a chr with no stock in his/her SG can increase Stock but you need to 'save' it just in time to 'stock' it up. Let's do an example. TEST DRIVE 1 - E2 Hauser will be our test bunny. Its Break is CC, which is Triangle-Triangle button sequence. - Have a chr, say Jr, reach a turn and press Triangle-Triangle only. Don't press anything else afterwards! - You may or you may not get a Break Bonus. TEST DRIVE 2 - E2 Hauser will be our test bunny. Its Break is CC, which is Triangle-Triangle button sequence. - Have a chr, say Jr, reach a turn and press Triangle-Triangle, followed very quickly by pressing X. Once again, very quickly! - You will gain a Break Bonus, but I repeat, doing this is very tedious, as your reflexes must be quick. In short, it looks like this: Triangle-Triangle -> Probability (very narrow window of chance!) -> Circle [X pressed sometime here] But with X to save the Stock you have obtained from the Normal Attacks - Square and Triangle, you can ignore the probability there and straight on with Circle. The bad thing is the timing which requires you to press X pretty fast then Circle after. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now that we have covered most important battle aspects, it would be a good idea for you to learn of a few advanced battle tips. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ---------------------------- ADVANCED BATTLE TIPS ----------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ARC EFFECT EXPLANATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sometimes an enemy possesses an attack which usually hurts all chrs, like Libra's ASM 1229 attack, for example. However, pay attention to attack's animation! If you look closely, you'll see that sometimes it does not hit all chrs on the battlefield. Let us assume that there is a 'circle' around the enemy, and the enemy is the center of the 'circle'. That 'circle' covers 360 degrees. Normally, the enemy can attack either one chr, regardless of where that chr would be positioned on the circle's circumference, or all chrs, again regardless of where they would be positioned. That aside, several enemies possess attacks that are able to cover only a certain sector of the 'circle'. Libra's ASM 1229 is one such attack. It hits the chr and two slots to chr's left and right, meaning that maximum amount of targets hit would be five, were you able to manipulate a fighting party of that many chrs. Based on the information provided in Namco's Official Complete Guide, ASM 1229 covers 30 degree angle. Let's do an actual example - in this battle there are four possible slots your chrs can occupy - slot 1, slot 2, slot 3 and slot 4. Battle starts with all three of your chrs grouped together... SLOT 1 SLOT 2 SLOT 3 SLOT 4 Empty Jr MOMO chaos Now have MOMO use Move command and place her to the LEFT of Jr, or otherwise... SLOT 1 SLOT 2 SLOT 3 SLOT 4 MOMO Jr Empty chaos How does this help? In first scenario, if boss would use ASM 1229 on MOMO, who would get hit? MOMO is center, and Jr is on the left, chaos on the right - thus all three suffer damage. In second scenario, though, MOMO is center, Jr on the right, and nobody on the left - thus, only TWO chrs suffer damage. If chaos was targeted, him and Jr would take damage. Understood the arc effect concept? Also affected is damage output. Central target of the attack (in our example that would be MOMO), takes the highest damage, while the targets on the side (in our case that would be Jr) take reduced damage. So, in battles where you can use Move command to relocate your chrs to other spots, there is a chance that the enemy you're facing possesses arc effect attack/s. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHARACTER SKILLS WHICH AFFECT E.S PERFORMANCE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are several chr skills, which when equipped on pilot of E.S, directly affect that E.S' performance in battle. The only chrs that you can do this with are MOMO, KOS-MOS and Jr. Skills will NOT have effect if they're equipped on copilots of E.S. AUTO SKILLS: Lost AGL EXP UP10 EXP UP15 Guard Focus 1 Focus 2 Inner Peace EQUIP SKILLS: CRTC+5* Rare +10* Rare +30* EP Half*** Revenge Power** Combo Boost***** EP Regen* Rebound***** ST Resist 20**** ST Resist 30**** Amount of stars represents our opinion on usefulness of equip skills. The more stars it has, the more useful the skill is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IN-BATTLE NOTICES IN UPPER LEFT QUADRANT OF THE BATTLE MODE SCREEN ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you do battles, often times special notices pop up in upper left corner of the battle screen. Do you wonder what info they're trying to tell you? AC Aura - elemental chain with aura element AC Beam - elemental chain with beam element AC Fire - elemental chain with fire element AC Ice - elemental chain with ice element AC Thunder - elemental chain with thunder element Air - breaked enemy was affected by Air status, damage x 2 Air Block - enemy cannot be launched into the Air Back Hit - 100% success of inflicting normal damage, cannot be guarded, evaded or IA-ed (by mechs) Break - enemy's weak zone has been penetrated successfully, and that enemy can be launched into Air or Down Break Block - enemy cannot be (temporarily) breaked Break Bonus - chr that initiates successful Break may have 1 stock added to SG Critical - give damage x 1,5 Down - breaked enemy was affected by Down status, damage x 2 Evasion - completely avoids any damage/status Guard - reduces damage given by 50% Hi-Critical - give damage x 2 Intercept - interrupts enemy's move during Stock and counterattacks Skill Point x [?] - amount of SPTS you get for the enemy/enemies killed at this particular turn, is multiplied by x2, x4, or x10 (this affects only SPTS!) Turn Cancel - target whose avatar appeared in GTW had its turn canceled Zone A, B, C - displays information on which zones of the enemy you've hit ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STRATEGIC USE OF MOVE COMMAND ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Usually, when you start a battle, you can choose Move command to reposition your chrs to more favorable locations. It is not always so, though. However, there are exceptions to this rule as well. Sometimes, when you encounter a group of enemies, and you defeat some of them that are on specific locations, Move command will become available, allowing you to place a chr in the fight slot that was previously occupied by the enemy. This is an effective way of surrounding your enemy and taking advantage of the situation. Let me represent this with few charts. - Battle starts (arrows indicate combatant's view direction) <-- Enemy1 Chr2 --> Enemy2 --> <--- Chr1 Chr3 --> <-- Enemy3 - Enemy1 and enemy2 croak. Chr2 --> <--- Chr1 Chr3 --> <-- Enemy3 - Chr2 uses Move command and is placed into the slot which was occupied by Enemy1 before it fell victim to fatal disease known as death. Chr2 --> <--- Chr1 Chr3 --> <-- Enemy3 - Don't forget that you must use either normal tech or double tech to have chr2 face the remaining enemies properly. As you can see, enemy3 can be attacked from three sides at once. It works similarly for E.S battles, but as you can have only two mechs fighting at once, your options are somewhat limited. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTACKING ENEMY'S MULTIPLE WEAKNESSES AT ONCE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Each enemy has certain resistance to eight attack properties you can find in this game. Detailed enemies' resistance can be found in section 34. When you perform a normal tech with your chrs, their attacks usually carry one (Jin has slash) or two attack properties (chaos has aura and hit). For our example let's take . It has weakness to aura (takes 150% of damage), fire (takes 150% of damage) and slash attacks (takes 150% of damage). Let us also say that the party you take into battle is Jin, chaos, and KOS-MOS. KOSy launches normal tech VS . For the sake of simplicity we'll assume it deals 100 damage. Her normal tech carries hit attribute, and doesn't have a weakness against hit attacks, so he takes 100 damage. Now Jin uses normal tech. Since is weak to slash attacks, and Jin's attack carries slash attribute, 150 damage is inflicted. chaos uses normal tech. Since is weak to aura attacks, and chaos' attack carries aura attribute, 150 damage is inflicted. KOSy casts Aura Sword on Jin. Now Jin's attack has slash as well as aura attribute. Jin uses normal tech. Since is weak to slash and aura attacks, and Jin's attack carries both, *200 damage is inflicted*. To sum up - if an enemy has more than one weakness, and you use an attack which carries at least two of that enemy's weaknesses, bonus damage is tallied together and added to base damage of 100%. To get the idea of how this works, take a look at below chart. ENEMY'S WEAKNESS A | ENEMY'S WEAKNESS B | RESULT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 100% base damage | 100% base damage | 100% base damage + | + | + X% bonus damage | Y% bonus damage | (X% + Y%) bonus damage ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NUMBERS THAT APPEAR DURING BATTLE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As you do battles, you will notice four different colors of numbers pop up whenever damage is dealt or HP/EP are being recovered. Here's the key letting you know what is being lost or recovered. White numbers denote HP loss. Green numbers denote HP recovery. Purple numbers denote EP loss / EC loss. Blue numbers denote EP recovery. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LOWDOWN ON BREAK BLOCK ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Break Block is a special trait only several enemies in the game possess. What it does is prevent your characters from breaking the enemy, thus disabling you from Airing or Downing it. Most of the time Break Block bonus is a temporary bonus enemy has - once a specific event occurs, Break Block is gone and you can break the enemy once again. What you may not know is that Break Block bonus is valid for *front* side of the enemy only. In other words: - an enemy you're fighting gained Break Block - if possible, move a chr behind enemy's *back*, so you benefit from Back Hit - have the chr you moved attack enemy's back - aside from Back Hit bonus you will also be able to BREAK THE ENEMY'S ZONE, regardless of the Break Block the enemy has So, if you encounter Break Block-able enemy, move a chr behind it and attack enemy's back. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== 12.) ABNORMAL STATUSES - G1200 =============================================================================== =============================================================================== In this section I shall cover both negative and positive statuses your chrs can be affected with during course of battles. Covered shall be name of negative or positive status and its effect on your actions, and how to remove it (in case we're dealing with negative status). -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------------ L STATUS, H STATUS, S STATUS ------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- All statuses can be classified in three categories: - negative statuses fall either into L type OR H type category - positive statuses fall into S type category Beside having various effects on your battle performance there is an important difference between L and H type statuses, this being: - L type negative status lasts for FIVE (5) chr' or mech's turns and is then lifted automatically (exception is L Stun - it lasts whole battle) - H type negative status lasts for WHOLE BATTLE (few exceptions apply) As for S type statuses: - S type status lasts either FIVE (5) chr' or mech's turns (is automatically lifted afterwards) or lasts for WHOLE BATTLE Aside from amount of turns being taken into consideration, L, H and S type statuses are always lifted once the battle ends, or when chr/mech affected becomes KO-ed. L type statuses can be cured in three more ways: - Refresh L ether - Antidote L item - if possible, swap the affected chr with somebody from reserve and then swap him/her back into heat of battle H type statuses can be cured in two more ways: - Refresh H ether - Antidote H item - unlike with L type statuses, you cannot swap chrs with somebody from reserve S type statuses are void in two more ways: - once a 'trigger' is activated (for example, getting KO-ed for Auto-Revive) - if chr under S status is swapped with somebody from reserve and then swapped back into heat of battle If you're uncertain under which status your chr is, wait until that chr's turn. Then press X to bring up battle menu of that chr. Names of statuses in effect will be displayed in upper left corner. If there's more than one status chr is affected with, they will alternate in being displayed in regular intervals. L type statuses are also displayed with a blue ball, which hovers above the head of the chr affected. In case of H type status hovering ball is red. Once you're affected with L type status, and you're hit successfully with same L type status again *before* it wears off, there's a chance for this particular L type status to turn into H type status. Of course, you can do the same to your enemies. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ----------------------------- STATUS DESCRIPTIONS ----------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- L TYPE STATUSES ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name | What it does?

EPISODE I BONUS - G1300 =============================================================================== =============================================================================== This small section deals with few bonuses you can get provided you start XS:E2 with a save from either XS:E1 or XS: Xenosaga Freaks game. They could be briefly called 'Data loading bonus' and 'Initial possession SPTS bonus'. Data Loading Bonus - Xenosaga Episode I OR Xenosaga Episode I: Reloaded will get you "Swim Suit Skill" for KOS-MOS and Ziggy. Otherwise, you won't be able to find it in the game of Xenosaga Episode II. - Xenosaga Freaks will get you Hakase/Professor's Dokkiri event Initial Possession Skill Points Bonus (depends on the level you beat the game) - The equation is Character Level * 30 + 600 - 600 is the basic points, Character Level * 30 is the bonus - If your characters level are all at Level 99, 99 * 30 + 600 = 3570 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE FOLLOWING IS A GLITCH, EXCLUSIVE TO JAPANESE VERSION ONLY. The glitch has been 100% terminated in NA version. Players that don't have any kind Episode I data and wish to get KOS-MOS' and Ziggy's Swimsuit, you are in for a treat. Press Triangle to get into the menu, select 'Skills' then select anyone. Select Skill. Go down to 'Level 4', press 'Right'. You will see Class A to D, right? Now press 'X' ONCE and press right to Tutorial. Go through the whole tutorial. Once you are done, voila. You have just initiated the bug/glitch. You should now see Class E to H for Class 4. Don't get out of the menu, it will disappear. You will need 450 Class Points from Class E to H. But within each, you need zero Skill Points to learn all. For me, Class G and H got nothing. Class F has 3 Erde Kaiser moves, one deals with slash damage to all, another one deals pierce damage to all, the last one deals thunder damage to all. All of them need 50 EP in order to be cast during battle. For Class E, you have Swimsuit and 3 more Erder Kaiser moves, Erde Storm, Erde Beam and Erde Quake. IMPORTANT!!! Don't forget that in order to learn Class Level 4 skills, you need to activate Class Level 4 first, just like you did with other Class Levels. Note that we will NOT recommend this or input stuff that requires this. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== 14.) GOOD TO KNOW! - G1400 =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Compiled here at one place will be useful pieces of information. So far we've prepared the following headings: - Saving your game - Usefulness of save and UMN points - Attacker chrs / mechs VS Reserve chrs / mech - Double tech items - Steal - Ether combinations - Traps - Post-battle EP recovery - Memory Card icon - Chr's success with recovering abnormal statuses ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SAVING YOUR GAME ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Remember to save your game frequently. We also advise you to do so in at least three different save files. There is always a chance that you might screw something up. And with having only one save file to rely on, what can you do? Whereas if you have more than one (hell, Split keeps 40 of them), you always have backup saves. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- USEFULNESS OF SAVE AND UMN POINTS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Save and UMN points have another vital role in your quest. Both recover your party's HP and EP completely. That way you can use both as sanctuaries for training and raising your levels. Excellent spot is the Dammerung dungeon, when you *first* visit it. In addition, UMN points allow you to visit earlier dungeons and teach the enemies a thing or two about what it means to be strong. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTACKER CHRS / MECHS VS RESERVE CHRS / MECH ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Only the former gain EXP, CPTS and SPTS when the battle ends. Reserve chrs (or mech) aren't completely screwed, though. They gain 75% of the EXP. Example? Your main party is Asher and Dinah. You kill two enemies, each enemy is worth 1000 EXP = that makes grand total of 2000 EXP. Since EXP is shared, both Asher and Dinah get 1000 EXP each. *Now* that 75% share comes into account - Zebulun gains 750 EXP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DOUBLE TECH ITEMS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Basically just finish a quest in GS Campaign - GS Campaign No.05 gets you "Archangel's Requiem" (Shion and Jr) - GS Campaign No.08 gets you "Burst Veil" (Shion and MOMO) - GS Campaign No.09 gets you "Elemental Nocturne" (chaos and Jr) - GS Campaign No.17 gets you "Dual Spell Ray" (Shion and chaos) - GS Campaign No.22 gets you "Cross Fist" (Ziggy and KOS-MOS) - GS Campaign No.23 gets you "Fiery Ritornelle" (Ziggy and Jr) - GS Campaign No.28 gets you "Grand Ronde" (chaos and KOS-MOS) - GS Campaign No.30 gets you "Cross Hilbert" (KOS-MOS and MOMO) - GS Campaign No.32 gets you "Power Strike" (Ziggy and MOMO) - GS Campaign No.34 gets you "Lion Heart" (Shion and Jin) - GS Campaign No.36 gets you "Twin Buster" (Shion and KOS-MOS) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STEAL ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To steal, you will need the Skill "Psycho Pocket" in H Link within Class Level 1. However, you need to finish off No.01 in the GS Campaign first which will get you Secret Key 01 to unlock the Skill. Psycho Pocket can be obtained as soon as you get to Second Miltia, after completing Moby Dick's events. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ETHER COMBINATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Only fixed Ether can be combined. To initiate the combination, lets say you have KOS-MOS and MOMO, and you wish to combine Ether. Now you need to BOOST up the 'partner' (much like Double Tech). Press 'X' and select Ether. And at the combinable Ether, press 'Triangle'. The following combos are done with KOS-MOS and having MOMO boost: Thunder Blast + Thunder Blast = Thunder Storm Thunder Blast + Aura Blast = Thunder Burst Remember that both chrs require EP. And a good combination that I recommend is this one: Analyze + Psycho Pocket = Rare Steal This will always get you RARE ITEM. Once you learn Combo Boost skill and have it equipped, you can have *same* chr perform combination ethers. For example KOS-MOS knows Medica 2, has Combo Boost skill equipped, and your party is in pretty bad shape. Boost KOS-MOS, and then perform the procedure described in earlier paragraph to have KOS-MOS cast Double Medica 2 on whole party. This is especially useful for MOMO, who pilots E.S Zebulun, as she can perform Rare Steal that way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRAPS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sometimes you will see traps scattered across when you're waltzing around. YELLOW TRAPS: When triggered, chrs/mechs start the battle with Stock Bonus. RED TRAPS : When triggered, chrs/mechs start the battle with Boost Bonus. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- POST-BATTLE HP & EP RECOVERY ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a nice alternative to using healing items from your stock. Anyway, just in case you haven't noticed yourself, any chrs that were NOT in the party when battle was won, recover 25% of both MAX HP and MAX EP after each battle (even if you use Escape command!). Thus, you can heal your party mostly free of charge, hehe. Also, once you learn Rapid Refresh skill for a chr, that chr will recover 50% of both MAX HP and MAX EP after the battle has ended. As for your E.S, the one in Reserve recovers 25% of MAX HP and MAX EP (Zebulun only, as only she can use ethers). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MEMORY CARD ICON ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THIS ONLY EXISTS IN JAPANESE VERSION. It has been taken out in NA version. This has nothing to do with gameplay, but it's kinda neat anyway. Once you've made several saves during your Xenosaga progress, reset your PS2 and enter the Browser menu (where you view the contents of memory cards and such). Depending on who the leader, or onscreen character was when the game was saved, that chr's icon will be displayed on memory card. This can be KOS-MOS, MOMO, Shion, Jr, chaos, Jin, Ziggy, E.S Asher, E.S Zebulun, or E.S Dinah. If save is made after ending credits have rolled, save icon will be that of Anima Relic. For fun try deleting one of such saves. The chr will BEG you not to do it.=) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHR'S SUCCESS WITH RECOVERING ABNORMAL STATUSES ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Each of the seven playable chrs has a % probability of successfully removing negative status change thru casting Refresh L or Refresh H. From highest to lowest, here's that probability: - MOMO 100% - Shion 90% - chaos 85% - Jin 75% - KOS-MOS 70% - Jr 70% - Ziggy 60% However, the roles are reversed when it comes to healing abnormal statuses by using Antidote L or Antidote H items. Chrs that are bad at nulling abnormal statuses by ethers are more successful by using items, ie Ziggy will have more success than MOMO. Quite in interesting turn of events, heh. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== 15.)

In any case - ENJOY! =============================================================================== =============================================================================== 16.) WALKTHROUGH - G1600 =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Before you begin reading the walkthrough, we'd like to clear something up regarding the issue which involves no money, no shops, no armor and no weapons. Sure, XS:E2 is a RPG and the four things mentioned above should be in it... well, the point here is - they *should*, but they're not. Game creators tried a new approach to the game, and it worked great. I know some players may disagree with this aspect, and would still love to have money to waste and armor to toy around with... here are a few pointers that may help you overcome the 'loss' in the long run: - Any chrs that were NOT in the party when battle was won, recover 25% of both MAX HP and MAX EP after each battle (even if you use Escape command!). Thus, you can heal your party mostly free of charge. - Same thing posted above holds true for E.S battles: have Asher and Dinah do the battles, then heal them with Zebulun when post-battle - The drop rate of healing items is rather frequent, and Bio Sphere can be used anywhere now, not just at the save points. - Once you learn Rapid Refresh skill for a chr, that chr will recover 50% of both MAX HP and MAX EP after the battle has ended. - Having no money eliminates the worry of not having enough cash when visiting a new shop. - Having no weapon/armor selection eliminates the worry of wondering if your equipment would be up to par with enemies in oncoming dungeons. Take this information as you will. The two of us enjoyed the game enormously. Japanese version: You will be asked a question: The game will show you a bonus and ask if you wish to 'check' your memory cards for any saves from Xenosaga: Episode 1, Xenosaga: Episode 1 Reloaded or Xenosaga Freaks. YES option is on the left, NO option is on the right. NA version: You will be asked if you wish to unlock special features for XS:E2 by having the system search for XS:E1 clear data. If you have a memory card with that save, plug it in, then hit "Yes" to continue. After a bit of "elevator music" plays, you will unlock Swimsuits for KOS-MOS and Ziggy, and obtain Geriatric Swimsuit special item for Professor. After making a decision, Configuration screen comes up with three choices: SUBTITLE DISPLAY: Set it ON or OFF. AUDIO OUTPUT: Set it to MONAURAL, STEREO or DOLBY PROLOGIC II.

REFERENCE: Xenosaga0001 Proceed W and soon you will come across a yellow save point, which when walked into, automatically recovers all HP and EP - you will hear a sound when this happens. Also, when standing inside save point, press Circle to bring up save menu. Save if you wish. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0002 When done, head W again. On next screen your path will be blocked by a truck. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0003 Press Square for kablooie. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0004 Continue along (blow up the chopper, if only just for the hell for it) and another tutorial follows explaining how to switch between multiple locked on targets. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0005-Xenosaga0006 Quite soon you'll reach a cross. Start with this tank... REFERENCE: Xenosaga0007 ... then blow up two more stuffs and collect ACCESSORY: POWER SHIELD from the chest. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0008 Back to the cross, only this time continue E and... well, blow more stuff up. When you access next screen, you'll witness a scene. Aha, a real battle at last with (considering you prolly got riled up from the battle in the intro sequence). REFERENCE: Xenosaga0009 Engage! Read the tutorial and remember to BOOST when the game asks you to, then kill off the enemy mechs. Also don't forget that after each battle (doesn't matter if you escaped or won), the onscreen chr or mech will flash for a while. During this time you cannot be drawn into battles. Continue (mow the lawn as well) and you will see more enemies and traps. YELLOW traps give you Stock Bonus, while RED traps give you Boost Bonus. Activate the yellow trap, then engage nearby and waste it. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0010-Xenosaga0011 You can blow up the car debris just to the N of that first trap to get ITEM: NANO REPAIR A. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0012 ... then turn right, smash the fence... REFERENCE: Xenosaga0013 ... and then go up the ramp smashing stuff for ITEM: NANO SPHERE. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0014 There's another plastered into spot near the cross - superglue? REFERENCE: Xenosaga0015 Fight it, then destroy debris behind it and nab ITEM: NANO REPAIR A. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0016 Back to the cross and advance N. Set off the red trap and fight . Piece of metal... I mean cake. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0017 When defeated, continue and another cut scene will follow. You are now off E.S Asher - and look, a new party member. Jin joins you. Both he and chaos start off with 600 CPTS and 600 SPTS, and Jin begins at lv5, while chaos is off with lv4. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0018 Jin also comes with Medica and Refresh L already learned. First order of business I recommend is teaching chaos a few skills: - Medica (Level 1 - A link - 1st skill) - Refresh L (Level 1 - A link - 2nd skill) - STR+2 (Level 1 - B link - 3rd skill) - VIT+2 (Level 1 - B link - 4th skill) For Jin I'd recommend learning STR+2, VIT+2 and Memory (Level 1 - C link - 2nd skill). And don't forget that you need to EQUIP STR+2 and VIT+2 to make use of them. Both party members also begin with DOUBLE TECH: ICE BRAND already learned and ready to use. Save point... REFERENCE: Xenosaga0019 ... and to the right - before fighting him, explore the near area. There's lot of debris to be destroyed... REFERENCE: Xenosaga0020 ... and ITEM: REVIVE S to score. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0021 Save if you wish, then go fight the poor guy. Carefully read the tutorial, finish off the enemies and then continue. Look, a chest! You can't get it yet, so worry about it later. Oh well, continue NE onto next screen. Blow up the car... REFERENCE: Xenosaga0022 ... fenced door with two green lights can't be opened yet - later. Continue along the W side of the street and lock-on cursor will appear again. I wonder what does Square button do? You found FEATURE: SEGMENT ADDRESS 14. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0023-Xenosaga0024 Memorize its location, for it will come in handy much later. Continue and fight another . Read the tutorial (it tells you about using double techs) and kill off both enemies. Carry on and climb the ladder on N wall. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0025 Stroll left and kill the box for ITEM: 3x SKILL UPGRADE D. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0026 Down the ladder and stroll E onto next screen. Go E still and engage (I'll be back... right). Further to the east you will see five pillars on sides of the street - two on northern side, three on western side. Destroy this one to win ITEM: BIO SPHERE. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0027-Xenosaga0028 When screen shifts, you'll see a red door in the distance with a switch to the right of that door... REFERENCE: Xenosaga0029 ... nothing you can do about it now, so just proceed E - set off the red trap and fight . Once you've signed their wills, guess what? Go E onto next screen - you will see another cut scene and a save point. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0030 Now use the save point and destroy the two objects - man, were I to destroy stuff so easily - anyway, this time keep going N for another scene.

This is because once the boss loses all HP, he will use a final attack on Skill point bonus ESL. Before boss uses Matrika, please refer to first line of data in [Damage taken]. After boss uses Matrika, please refer to second line of data in [Damage taken]. ----------------------------------- ATTACKS ----------------------------------- 01. Amavasya - (AttPow: 25) - SATTP VS one chr - slash phd 02. Dakshina Marg - (AttPow: 19) - SATTP VS one chr - slash phd 03. Coercion - (AttPow: 20) - HATTP VS all chrs - hit phd, ignores EVA, used as final attack 04. Matrika Shakti - [Anti-Break stance. Acquired resistance to physical attacks.] - sets Break Block, prevents Breaks for several turns, changes damage resistance to: 200% damage from aura, 50% from slash, and 50% damage from hit property attacks; used when HP is below 500 05. Brahma-Increase Aim - self - DEX+2; used when HP is below 900 06. [Matrika Shakti has dispersed.] - Break Block barrier is gone -------------------------------- BOSS STRATEGY -------------------------------- Let's take a look at possible damage you may receive from boss' attacks: Marg for around 30 dmg, Amavasya about 70 dmg, and Coercion 40 dmg to all chrs. Critical damage is not taken into account. Boss' HP limits: 900 HP, 500 HP, 0 HP. Can use Move command. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - It's two chrs VS one 1K HP dude. During first stage of battle, boss is likely to get first move in and strike chaos or Jin. Worry not about the damage for now, instead use Stock command three times for both chrs to get Stock value of 3, which we shall use in later stages to finish boss off quickly. After getting few strikes in (remember to use CB attacks!), boss will power himself up with Brahma. Use Medica to recover HP you may have lost as result of boss' actions (I also need to mention that he's extremely fast and likely to get a turn between both of your chrs' turns), thus making this quite a frantic battle. Fortunately, boss also misses a lot. You may also want to use Move command and have one of your chrs move behind the boss to get benefit from back hit bonus. This battle can be used as a fine testing ground for the new battle system introduced in XS:E2. Once you knock off 50% of his health, second powerup move is used, that being Matrika - you won't be able to make breaks on him for several turns. Also, do *not* use Jin as attacker, as boss will cboost (thus unnecessarily endangering yourself further)! Keep attacking with chaos only, as of this moment forward his attacks will do greater damage than before. After succeeding in connecting three times with the boss and dealing damage to him, Matrika shatters and you are now safe to use Jin in attacks combos too. Attacking the boss from behind also bypasses Break Block, though boss will still cboost if attacked by Jin. This is where my previous suggestion of stocking comes into play - just before boss hits less than 500 HP, ensure that you're above 50% of HP remaining. Now have Jin use CB, followed by three Circle attacks. Sayonara to boss, but not before he uses his last Coercion move - some phd to both chrs, but you'll survive. Or use Ice Brand double tech for some big damage. ************************** VICTORY! CONGRATULATIONS! ************************** After beating him you will be asked to save, then a lot of scenes will follow. You get to control Ziggy. Talk around with people and save if you wish. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0031 At the top right corner, there is a robot. If you talk to it, you'll get an option of SELLING your own items in order to pay off Captain Matthews' debts, which are 10,000,000. DO NOT SELL ANY YET! REFERENCE: Xenosaga0032 You need all healing items you can get. Just in case you forgot - there's no way to buy items in XS:E2. By examining one of the UMN booths here in spaceport you can get a recap of what has happened in Xenosaga: Episode 1, as well as some fighting tips.

You've been ambushed, meaning that your chrs are turned towards the boss with their backs - quickly have each of your guys and gal attack so that they face the boss properly. You may also want to use Move command to place one chr BEHIND the boss, so you can inflict extra damage. MOMO is *extremely* useful in this battle - her bow attacks will do obscene amounts of damage to the boss - so sticking her behind the boss is not a bad idea. Also count in boss low AGL (one turn for roughly five of yours)... so how do we carry on after moving MOMO? Have MOMO use Stock command, with Jr and chaos casting Medica on whoever gets hit with 'beam gun'. After MOMO has 3 stock, wait for point bonus slot turn with MOMO - also make sure that boss' has its back towards MOMO. Boost her if you must - now just follow up with Circle attacks and boss is down the crapper. Once boss loses 50% of HP, pay attention to event slot it will memorize. Any move (even casting Analyze) you will try against the boss on that particular event slot will cause it to cboost and attack you. So be careful, you hear? ************************** VICTORY!

Let's do an example - in this battle there are four possible slots your chrs can occupy - slot 1, slot 2, slot 3 and slot 4. Battle starts with all three of your chrs grouped together... SLOT 1 SLOT 2 SLOT 3 SLOT 4 Empty Jr MOMO chaos Now have MOMO use Move command and place her to the LEFT of Jr, or otherwise... SLOT 1 SLOT 2 SLOT 3 SLOT 4 MOMO Jr Empty chaos How does this help? In first scenario, if boss would use ASM attack on MOMO, who would get hit? MOMO is center, and Jr is on the left, chaos on the right - thus all three suffer damage. In second scenario, though, MOMO is center, Jr on the right, and nobody on the left - thus, only TWO chrs suffer damage. If chaos was targeted, him and Jr would take damage. Understood the area effect concept? Let's move on. Have whoever is in slot 3 to be moved in slot 1. Now continue stocking until SG for all three chrs is 3. Two attacks coming from boss will be Octo Ray and ASM (provided you followed my advice most of the time only two chrs most will be hit - Medica them afterwards). Once you've stocked enough, have Jr or MOMO execute two Circle attacks to expose boss' weak zone. After being hit seven times with piercing attacks (chaos either heals with Medica or provides additional damage), you will be notified of main monitor being broken. Breaking the monitor drops some of boss statistics, most notably STR by 30, DEX by 10 and EVA by 5. Once boss' HP drops below 1680, Sonic Boom becomes available for using in both regular turns and if boss boosts between your attack combos. If boss' BG is zero, it won't be able to boost and thus jeopardize your chrs. Once boss has lost 70% of HP, there's a 50% probability of it cboosting after receiving a damaging attack. BTW, have you listened to my advice on learning Sword ethers? Specifically I mentioned Thunder Sword - cast it on both Jr and MOMO to give them even more striking edge. I'd recommend always being in top shape (Medica's cheap for only 2 EP) and checking that SG is on three. Start the chain by having MOMO or Jr execute two Circle attacks to break the boss, then boost either Ziggy or chaos to inflict Down state, and follow up by boosting first Jr, then MOMO by emptying their SG for superiour damage against the boss. Or you could just fill up SG to 3 and release four Circle attacks for major damage and hopefully killing the boss. If you're afraid of boss boosting and executing its damaging Sonic Boom - you can circumvent that by having one of your chrs boost before you commence attacking. Then repeat the stocking, healing and quadruple Circle combo. ************************** VICTORY! CONGRATULATIONS! ************************** Carry on and destroy the target to set the crane up.

No zone here either. The AMWS Scutum is piloted by Herman while Pilum is piloted by Richard. Although Pilum has less HP, focus on Scutum first. Scutum can use Medica. I recommend using MOMO to attack Scutum with Circle, while Jr and chaos can either support and heal, or attack Scutum as well with Circle. Once you take out Scutum, work on Pilum. Switch MOMO out and Ziggy in if you wish. The battle will end eventually. The trick to this battle is using MOMO to take out Scutum first. Note that if you focus on Pilum first, Scutum will be constantly healing Pilum. The whole battle takes a while but if you listen to what I said above and heal frequently, you will end the battle without getting any game over. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Accessory collectors, WARNING! The next boss battle is the *first of only two* chances to obtain the most valuable mech accessory in the game. It is Tuned Circuit, carried by Pilum. Currently you have no way of stealing yet, and unfortunately Tuned Circuit is classified as Pilum's rare item. Additionally it is only dropped with 20% probability. Anyway, it's up to you whether or not you wish that accessory. Contributor Bojan N. comments: It is possible to obtain both Charge Boost and Tuned Circuit after the battle, however, doing so involves some luck. Scutum is the left mech, Pilum is the right mech. A few words on their attack behaviour - although high on HP, they're also high on ego. They're sure to waste few turns by talking thus allowing you to get few easy hits in. Better recommendation is to use these free turns to fill up SG. MOMO will again be your best friend in this battle - bow attacks are the most useful thing since sliced bread against the two mecha. Other two chrs that are recommended are chaos and Jr (not Ziggy, since his fire attacks do reduced damage against bosses). Before you actually begin scratching the surface of your enemies, gather SG of 3 (you won't get attacked much, remember?) and cast *Aura Sword* on Jr and MOMO. Pilum's Impulsion can decrease your VIT, so quickly counteract by casting Refresh L. Scutum can heal his partner, nullify status changes you do on them, try to inflict status changes on you... Funnily enough, Scutum won't heal itself - couple that with frequent wasting of turns by talking, and oftenly used Fine Ray for low damage - and you've got your primary target for shooting off. MOMO and Jr both use Circle attacks, while chaos heals the team with Medica (or possibly Medica All, if you've moved up the foodchain high enough). Going after Pilum first is not recommended - aside from being healed, Pilum has an ether move Egalite, which hits all chrs (only gains access to it, when it powers up for the first time). Remember now, it's three VS two - as Scutum's HP goes down, it'll start using Sentenza. Then as it hits 2400 HP, Thunder's Grace is used - now beware of Sentenza as it can inflict L Slow and Down you as well, and if Pilum boosts on you in addition to that... it won't be a pretty sight. Down Dex starts appearing at this point of battle. When Scutum is around 1450 HP range, it uses Armor Field to increase its ARM - luckily this lowers POW, so Sentenza does less damage. This is about everything you can expect from Scutum before you do it in. Pilum now becomes second target for shooting off. Weak against piercing attacks as well, MOMO's bow is the move to be used (hopefully quadruple Circle combo, of course) - while reducing his HP to 2352, it will transfer ammo of some type to be able to use Egalite, fire ether for moderate damage to all chrs. When its HP is further reduced to 1344 HP, Attacker move is used - Pilum's ARM becomes even weaker, so make sure you quickly wipe it off the face of the earth, else it may overcome you with constant Egalite barrage. I'd recommend that you have MOMO stock three times, then unleash Circle barrage (you should require no more than three such shootouts to down Pilum as well). ************************** VICTORY! CONGRATULATIONS! ************************** After the battle, there will be a truckload of cut scenes, first with your current party, followed by Shion, KOS-MOS and Allen. Afterwards you gain control of Shion, who starts at lv16.

Once you've head enough, go to central area. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0094 Within this area, to the right, you will see a new type of plate - the blue plate is UMN point. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0095 Once walked into, press Circle and UMN submenu will appear in main menu - this allows you to revisit earlier dungeons in order to hunt down items you missed first time around or that weren't accessible yet. However, use the save point first, then go to [Old Miltia]... REFERENCE: Xenosaga0096-Xenosaga0097 When Shion's yours, have her walk W to the next screen. Now hug northern part of the street until lock-on cursor appears to blow up stuff.

REFERENCE: Xenosaga0102-Xenosaga0103 As Shion is quite low on CPTS and SPTS, and considering that here you will find the crappiest enemies of them all, you may want to stick around for a while and gather EXP and SPTS. Once you become bored, enter main menu, select UMN submenu, and pick left option to go back to Second Miltia. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0104-Xenosaga0105 Second Miltia's central area is very big, and has also been chopped up in two subscreens - I'll simply call them FIRST SECTOR AREA and SECOND SECTOR AREA. You may want to go explore the surrounding and get yourself familiar with the layout. Up the stairs is the entrance to two slide doors. One is ballet building... REFERENCE: Xenosaga0106 ... the other is the residence of some crazy guy we'll worry about much later in the game. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0107 In the far left corner of First Sector is the hospital. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0108 These are only three buildings you can enter here. Now there's a path below the hospital that leads to the E... REFERENCE: Xenosaga0109 ... and onto the second area of Miltia's Central. You will meet a bunny (you better get used to these guys - remember a rather subtle one before you fought the first boss?). REFERENCE: Xenosaga0110 It will talk about the GS Campaign (keep picking first options presented) and give you the GS Path submenu. This is it for now, so carry onto the second area... In Second Sector there are two buildings which you can enter. First is Publishing Agency... REFERENCE: Xenosaga0111 Enter the Publishing Agency - once inside, enter the lone door in the back. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0112 Then destroy lots-o-crates for ITEM: BOOST MAX.

To the W and N of this console are crates that belong to Area F. When cleared, stand below 2nd console. Left, up and there's 3rd console. Crates belong to Area H. Once you break the four crates closest to you, go like this, starting from nearby 3rd console: up, right, downstairs, left, down, down, right, upstairs and bingo - the rest of Area H crates. Back to 3rd console now. Now go up and up. You'll find 4th console - the crates nearby are from Area A. When plastered, stand near 4th console. Down, right, downstairs, right. You'll find 5th console and Area C crates. Kill them reds (one is out of reach, but we'll get it soon), then stand close to 5th console. Down... 6th console already? The crates are from Area G. When done sweeping, from 6th console go down, right, ignore the stairs, and up. 7th console and Area E crates are in sight. Now go up the stairs we ignored before. As you're going left, you'll find the lone red crate, which belongs to Area C, but we couldn't reach from below - destroy it now. Continue left, downstairs, right and you will reach Area B crates. Blow up the remaining reds and Shion wins! REFERENCE: Xenosaga0205 After you destroy all red ones, get back up and talk with Ciaran.

Save if you wish. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0261 KOSy-WOSy starts at level 16. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0262 Enter the house. You can blow up the phone to reveal a music box. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0263 At the base of stairs you can target the screen which is then blasted away. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0264 In the kitchen shoot another screen to nab ITEM: 2x SKILL UPGRADE C. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0265 Then go up stairs and enter the room. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0266-Xenosaga0267 After the scene, try to exit the room (if you want, you can kick the bunny a few times for fun) - for quite a while you will be getting short scenes showing you where the URTV trio has run off to. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0268 Go back downstairs and exit the house. Step into the circle and teleport into another area. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0269 When you regain control, go down and through the door. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0270-Xenosaga0271 Now go right and save your game. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0272 At the cross go down again and through next door. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0273 You will appear outside of the building - go down the stairs, then turn left and onto next screen. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0274-Xenosaga0275 Keep running left until another scene triggers. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0276-Xenosaga0278 Now you need to go back, so turn right and off you go until another scene triggers just outside the building you were inside of before. Go upstairs and enter that building (since this is where URTV trio ran). REFERENCE: Xenosaga0279 When inside, go up and then right at the cross. Enter the next door you'll see, go up and you'll witness another scene. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0280 Back outside go left and enter the room to the right of the save point. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0281 When inside, go up for more scenes. Aftewards you will appear at some forest area (at the gas station). Save if you wish. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0282 Mow away the boxes for ITEM: 2x REVIVE S. Box with lock-on cursor on the pic contains hidden Gnosis within. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0283 You'll find a loo near the gas station - blow up the door, then tear away the poster inside just above the loo. Note that you will find quite a lot of 'what seems interesting' places or items, but they will only serve a purpose later in the game in one of GS campaigns, therefore I will not bring them under special attention just yet. Now head right and hike N towards the truck - you'll see a yellow trap. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0284 Use it to help you with nearby Gnosis. There's one more Gnosis to fight before you reach the truck. Now climb the truck's back area and blow up the crate for a chest ITEM: 2x MED KIT M. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0285 Okay, this is it for now - back S and then make use of the path leading right to the next screen. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0286 Continue right onto the next screen. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0287 Here you will find four destructible rocks (second from left hides a Gnosis), yellow trap, two Gnosis floating around and a wooden house in NW corner - use Square attacks on the house until it blows up revealing a strange triangle - nothing you can do about it for now. Kill off Gnosis for EXP, then continue right onto another screen. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0288-Xenosaga0291 Keep going right, killing Gnosis. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0292 When you get to the cross, kill Gnosis. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0293 Now go left for yet another Gnosis. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0294 A rock is within reach now - destroy it for ITEM: 4x SKILL UPGRADE B. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0295 Then return to the right and go down the broken tree to reach next path. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0296 You will see two paths leading N. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0297 Take left one (kill Gnosis). REFERENCE: Xenosaga0298 The rocks in the stream have nothing to hide. At the end break down the tree to create a path across the stream. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0299 Cross it and make use of red trap to kill next Gnosis. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0300 Go past the rock and as far SE as you can - break the tree to create another bridge across the stream - however, don't cross it. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0301 Your direction is the path leading NE and into the next screen. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0302 Here, there's a possibility you may run into . REFERENCE: Xenosaga0303 When you kill one, it may cboost and release desperation attack which can cause around 200 - 300 damage to the whole party, so watch out for that. Anyway, when you get to the open area next to the stream, you will see a box across which appears to have no access. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0304 See the four rocks in the stream? REFERENCE: Xenosaga0305-Xenosaga0308 Get near one and lock-on cursor will appear - get the idea? Counting from the left, blow up two rocks, then chop down the tree. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0309 It will float downstream and stop at the third rock. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0310 Cross the log and destroy the crate for SPECIAL ITEM: DECODER 04. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0311 Leave the screen the way you came in and come back - this time only cut down the tree... REFERENCE: Xenosaga0312 ... and cross it to reach a save point. Save if you wish. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0313 Right above the save point you will see a chest with ITEM: 2x ANTIDOTE H. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0314 To the right of the save point is another breakable tree, which will form another bridge to cross the stream. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0315 Ignore the rock to your N, as it has nothing. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0316 Waltz N onto next screen. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0317 Carry on into the open area - dead end to the left has a rock, which is only a Gnosis. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0318 Go N and there will be two trees to walk on - go for the left one, you will fall down. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0319 Now head to the left. Destroy the rock and at the end, you will see a cracked wall - destroy it and it will form a hole leading to one of earlier areas (a nifty shortcut). REFERENCE: Xenosaga0320-Xenosaga0321 Turn right and walk through the canyon - just before you get out, kill Gnosis, then another Gnosis. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0322-Xenosaga0323 Go back up. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0324 This time walk on the tree on the right. Keep hugging right until a lock-on appears on one of the trees. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0325 Mow it down, then walk through the bushes... REFERENCE: Xenosaga0326 ... until you reach a ledge - pick top option to jump down. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0327 Nab ITEM: BOOST MAX. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0328 Choose to jump down again. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0329 Now hike all the way S to reach next screen. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0330 Keep going and destroy the rock for ITEM: BOOST MAX. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0331 Back to previous screen. Cross the right tree over the canyon, set off the yellow trap and fight Gnosis. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0332 Head north and cut scene triggers... REFERENCE: Xenosaga0333 You will end up fighting some enemies. They're fast and deadly, so have your party include KOS-MOS and Ziggy because of high HP. The third member - make it Jr or someone your choice. If this member dies, don't bother to revive him or her yet, not until you take out the enemies. After the battle, make sure your main party has at least KOS-MOS and Ziggy - reason being more of recent guys on the path ahead. Save if you wish. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0334 Continue north and kill all enemies on the path - there are three of 'em, one red trap and one yellow trap. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0335-Xenosaga0337 The party we used was KOS-MOS, Ziggy and chaos. Use CC attacks on these guys constantly and you will be fine. Keep going and going until a scene happens.

Critical damage is not taken into account. Can use Move command. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Your enemy is called Level 4. Its weak zone is CCBB, so you need two people. One does CC, then BOOST the next character which will do BB. It can also summon out the . I recommend using KOS-MOS to stock (don't forget to cast Thunder Sword on her to attain attack property boss is weak to), while Ziggy and chaos can either heal or initiate the CC, then quickly BOOST up KOS-MOS which then can use BB, and with enough STOCK, she can use 'CIRCLE' attack as well, and since the CIRCLE attacks after the weak zone break through, it does lots of damage. One CIRCLE attack after CCBB can do around 900 damage alone. Heal if you need to, if he does summon out enemies, kill it with CC and it goes toward the BOOST anyway. Continue this and Level 4 will be killed in no time. After this, more cut scenes. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - One thing you have to know. From start of battle onwards, Level 4's stats slowly increase, as seen from following chart: STR | VIT | EATK | EDEF | DEX | AGL -------------------------------------------------- Start | 43 | 9 | 33 | 29 | 31 | 9 40% recovery | 46 | 10 | 36 | 32 | 34 | 10 70% recovery | 49 | 11 | 39 | 35 | 37 | 10 100% recovery | 52 | 12 | 42 | 38 | 40 | 11 Unlimited P. | 57 | 17 | 47 | 43 | 45 | 12 Battle starts. I recommend using KOS-MOS, Jr and MOMO. To initiate a Break on Level 4 (it is CCBB), you will need to use two chrs with help of one boost. Before you try breaking the enemy, make sure your BG reads 3 and that SG of all three chrs is at 3, then cast Thunder Sword on MOMO only. Using my setup Jr will begin by using CC, then boost KOS-MOS by using BB - Break initiated! Follow up by KOS-MOS using Circle, which will send Level 4 in Air, and then empty her SG. Since Level 4 has 300% weakness to slash, damage done will be unbelievable! Even if Level 4 cboosts, it will fail as boss will fall from Air into Down state, and only in this case cboost is nullified. Before she's done, boost MOMO up and empty her SG... if by any chance Level 4 is still floating around, boost up Jr and shoot Level 4's brains out. You win! There's a chance that Level 4 will interrupt your chain by cboosting inbetween and powering itself up. This happens when boss HP falls below 4608 HP, at which point it will use Repair Program to recover 1440 HP, and begin charging up. Each time boss' system recovers up to a certain percent, boss' stats improve. STR, VIT, EATK, EDEF and DEX by 3 each, while AGL is raised by 1 on first and third system recovery point. When system recovery initiates, boss may or may not require several turns before next recovery point is reached, so it is entirely possible that its full potential is reached in mere three turns. Once boss' HP hits 2880 HP, attack repertoire is expanded with addition of Alchemy, Cannibalism and ESW Output 100%. If you leave -s ignored, they will gang up on you. They're esp dangerous because of possibly Downing your chr (luckily they don't poison you like its brethren few minutes back), followed up by a boosted attack from Level 4 itself. So take them out ASAP. Doing so will also prevent the boss from recovering HP by Cannibalism. Be very careful when dealing with Level 4. Based on my notes, striking it with an attack carrying two or more properties boss is weak against often triggers a not so welcome cboost in form of ESW class attacks. If it seems that you won't be able to successfully make a Break using Sword ethers because of Level 4 constantly interrupting your chain, try doing it without them. Success is much higher in this case and Level 4 will stand in your way no longer. ************************** VICTORY!

Destroy the boxes for ITEM: 2x MED KIT S. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0345 Save thy game. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0346 On the right you will find the familiar road with a truck in the distance and two Gnosis enemies. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0347 There is a chest to the north after you destroy an object that covers it with ITEM: 2x ANTIDOTE L within. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0348 Now head back and to the right... REFERENCE: Xenosaga0349 ... then right again. The following screen has four rocks, of which first rock is a Gnosis (kill for good measure)... REFERENCE: Xenosaga0350 ... second rock is ITEM: 2x ETHER PACK S... REFERENCE: Xenosaga0351 ... while third and fourth rock have nothing. On this same screen there's two more Gnosis enemies wandering about, wondering about KOS-MOS. Noone wonders about her but me, so kill them anyway (one is shown two pics back). REFERENCE: Xenosaga0352 Continue trekking right, killing off Gnosis. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0353 At the cross you could go left and destroy this rock... for a Gnosis?

REFERENCE: Xenosaga0364-Xenosaga0367 Get near one and lock-on cursor will appear - get the idea? Counting from the left, blow up three rocks. Now shoot down the log. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0368 When the log stops at fourth rock, cross it and blow up the rock for ITEM: 4x SKILL UPGRADE B. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0369-Xenosaga0370 Leave the screen and come back - repeat the exercise by blowing up two rocks, then chop down the tree - it will float downstream and stop at the third rock. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0371 Cross the log and destroy the crate for ITEM: BIO SPHERE. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0372 Leave the screen again and come back - this time only cut down the tree and cross it to reach a save point. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0373-Xenosaga0374 To the right of the save point chop down another tree for any backtracking. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0375 Kill . REFERENCE: Xenosaga0376 Above the save point is a dead end - and a chest with ITEM: REJUVENATOR M. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0377 Carry on to the N (ignore the rock, Gnosis is inside).

REFERENCE: Xenosaga0383 Go down past Gnosis... REFERENCE: Xenosaga0384 ... and onto next screen - a short dead end with a rock and ITEM: REVIVE S inside. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0385 Return to previous screen (Gnosis enemy is back, so careful) and now take the right of the two trees to cross the canyon. Yet again hug the right until a lock-on appears on one of the trees. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0386 Mow it down, then move through the bushes until you reach a ledge - choose top option to jump down. You found FEATURE: SEGMENT ADDRESS 15. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0387 Drop off the ledge, and cross the canyon again - we did everything for now, so stroll N into next area. Save point (this is the LAST save point of disc one!), so use it. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0388 A brand new area with three paths. Take the center path. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0389 Kill Gnosis... REFERENCE: Xenosaga0390 ... and go down the log to run into ... REFERENCE: Xenosaga0391-Xenosaga0392 When you get to a cross, N path leads to next screen and a boss fight.

AWAKENING ALERT! AWAKENING ALERT! AWAKENING ALERT! * * * * DO NOT FORGET TO STEAL AWAKENING I FROM THIS BOSS!!! * * * * AWAKENING ALERT! AWAKENING ALERT! AWAKENING ALERT! AWAKENING ALERT! * ******************************************************************************* Estimated damage ratio: Ice and Thunder Blast 150 dmg to one, Souls I about 250 dmg to all, Desire 200 dmg to one, Soul Blast 300 dmg to all. Cannot use Move command. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - His zone weakness is BCCB, so you need to BOOST up another character to do CB after you input BC. In the beginning, no matter how hard you try, you can hardly damage him. But do continue to attack him, after a while, there will be a message saying his arms are being destroyed. Now you can really damage him. Do remember to Rare Steal him, you will get a new Double Tech awakening book. Continue to attack and heal if you need to. Do not waste anytime and attack him with BCCB as much as you can. He will regenerate his arms in a while. At later part of the battle, to break his arms much faster and more effetively, have MOMO or/and Shion stock up to 3. Then attack him all at once with Circles. Boss has all kinds of nasty attacks when he's got his arms, so you might want to kill his arms ASAP. However, when he's at low health, he will be using an all party energy wave attack that deals quite some damage. Shion might not be as good as MOMO, so I would recommend using MOMO over Shion. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - It's payback time! The best party to start battle with is Jr, Ziggy and MOMO. All of them possess attacks to which boss is weak against. You're welcome to use Kosy as well, though don't forget to cast Flame Sword on her. Shion and chaos aren't recommended cos of their different elements (but you can use Flame Blast with them, if you're using them in your team). As for the equippable skills, slap on STR+2 (for physical attackers), EATK+2 (for MOMO), VIT+2, EDEF+2. Right off the bat you'll notice that boss is under Break Block, thus making breaks temporarily impossible. Before you start attacking, do some battle preparation - start by having MOMO, Jr and Ziggy stock until their SG is at 3. Don't forget to keep an eye on your HP and heal accordingly when your HP gets dangerously low - use Medica ether combinations for that! In the event that Souls II was used and your BG depleted, cast some Boost 1 ethers or fill it up by attacking the boss. Now you're prepared! Start by smashing the boss with properties boss is weak against and in 3-6 attacks his Break Block is temporarily gone. *Quickly* cast Flame Sword on Jr and MOMO, followed by Attacker on Jr and Ziggy, and Ether Spear on MOMO! Start the chain by having Jr do BC on boss, boosting Ziggy afterwards and doing CB - Break initiated! While it is *still* Ziggy's turn now, do Circle attack to smack the boss onto the ground, then empty his stock, followed by boosting Jr, emptying his stock, and finished by boosting MOMO and emptying her stock. At this point boss may cboost, but it won't do him much good for AC Fire chain is already high and we've buffed MOMO with Flame Sword and Ether Spear. See you soon... But what can you expect if you do now own the boss via Break and boosting? Interested in duking it out, are you? Okay then... Boss' array of moves, while he still has his hands, will involve Souls I and Souls II, with latter being a pestilence of your existence, for this is how boss can recover HP. Ice and Thunder Blasts you will be hammered with aren't as damaging as Souls attacks. Now about breaking the arms... boss can regenerate them 3 times, and when it can do so no longer, you will know it because you will be able to break the boss even with his arms being around (also notified by "regenerative powers reaching the limit"). While boss is without the arms, he loses Desire and Souls attacks, but can still pester you with Blasts. Also, if you haven't yet Breaked the boss or you're taking too long, two things can happen - you will get a "note" from Sakura about how to perform a Break, or boss may erase your status window temporarily. Ooops - fret not, just enter Ether menu of chr whose turn currently is, and select Medica to check up on HP of your combatants. After boss regenerates arms for the final time, he gains Ether Spear and Souls III attacks. Former will make ether damage even higher, while latter can destroy one stock of each chr if it connects! Also, boss' Desire attack gains Down effect, and it cannot be evaded - plus it raises boss' STR. And finally, at about 20% HP remaining (this is at around 1536 HP), boss will cboost after taking damage and release his ultimate move - Soul Blast. All of the other moves except Thunder and Ice Blasts are still present, however. And if that weren't enough, boss is likely to boost himself after you attack him (naturally he can't do it if Enemy BG will be 0). Good luck! ************************** VICTORY! CONGRATULATIONS! ************************** After the battle, more cut scenes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the end of Disc One.

REFERENCE: Xenosaga0482 Remember the blue numbers from one of the earlier corridors? They're here again, so refer to the earlier pictures to refamiliarize yourself with where NOT to fall. But, why bother? I'll just tell you where you need to go. Your objective is to attempt to fall into a hole marked with number [04]. Ok, ride the belt and pass two belts which will lead left - when you see third conveyor belt leading left, GO LEFT! REFERENCE: Xenosaga0483-Xenosaga0484 It appears I missed two items when doing this dungeon and here's how to get them... when you step on main conveyor belt, pass first belt leading left, pass first belt leading right, then slam on analog stick and hold it down so your onscreen chr keeps running against the belt you're on. To your left there is a small hole in the belt's "wall" and every so often a crate comes rolling by. When it does, a lockon cursor appears, so press Square to target it and fall down into room [14]. Your reward, when you go claim it, will be ITEM: REJUVENATOR DX. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0484a Now pass second belt leading left, pass second belt leading right, pass third belt leading left, then slam on analog stick and hold it down so your onscreen chr keeps running against the belt you're on. As you notice, there's another hole in belt's "wall" (for this I'm referring to third belt leding right), and yet another crate comes by every so often. Like with previous crate, wait by the hole until lockon cursor appears on the crate and then blast it with Square so it falls down into room [02]. Reward is ITEM: 2x SKILL UPGRADE E. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0484b Let's continue from where we left off three paragraphs back... You'll fall down into a room which holds H door you couldn't enter from the other side - examine it now and lock will be removed. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0485-Xenosaga0486 Anyway, go downstairs and keep trekking... REFERENCE: Xenosaga0487 ... you'll get ITEM: 2x SKILL UPGRADE C...

Check the red screen first - first option explains stuff, second option resets the puzzle, while third option cancels. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0493 There are four crates (put under a white glass) you can destroy. Counting from the left, destroy 1st, 2nd and 3rd crate. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0494-Xenosaga0496 Now get on the glass, and have Shion stand on upper left corner of that glass - doing so will cause the glass to shift. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0497 Now head for bottom right corner of the glass and wait for it to shift again - a crate will blow up revealing a chest... REFERENCE: Xenosaga0498 ... which will float to NW corner of the room, where you can go and grab SPECIAL ITEM: DECODER 15. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0499 Now examine the red panel on N wall and choose middle option to reset the puzzle. Repeat the exercise, only this time do not wait on bottom right corner of the glass to shift, but instead run to be able to get on the catwalk, leading to the exit out of this room. Note: Jay S. writes it is not necessary to reset the platform, as you can just walk back up again and to the catwalk without problems - just don't wait long enough for the glass to shift when you're on SE corner.

REFERENCE: Xenosaga0522 ******************************************************************************* * * * WARNING! GS CAMPAIGN NO.27 CAN BE FAILED IF YOU DON'T PAY ATTENTION! * * * ******************************************************************************* ERDE KAISER REMINDER!!! This is the GS campaign that DETERMINES which Erde Kaiser summon you get. This campaign affects type of Kaiser's arm, which ultimately decides what type of damage the summon will do. Look at the following chart: Part - Arm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GS No.27 | 1-2 attempts | 3-4 attempts | 5th (final) attempt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ARM | TYPE-A (slash) | TYPE-B (pierce) | TYPE-C (thunder) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOU CAN ONLY CHOOSE ONE! You're then set it with it forever, so make your choice count. We recommend either TYPE-A or TYPE-B, and not TYPE-C. Reasoning? All of them are ether based, but TYPE-C deals thunder damage, and as such cannot be used in elemental chains. Well, it can, but only in thunder chains, which is pretty limiting your choices. TYPE-A deals slash, while TYPE-B deals pierce damage - but the good thing is that you can use them in elemental chains. Also, MAKE SURE YOU CHECK OUT SECTION 30 OF THIS GUIDE for additional information on other things that *influence* your ability to get Erde Kaiser! Enemies wise? It's like this: 31 enemies in the game are weak to pierce attacks, 33 to slash attacks, 38 to thunder attacks. 41 enemies take normal damage from pierce attacks, 38 from slash attacks, 24 from thunder attacks. 11 enemies take reduced damage from pierce attacks, 9 from slash attacks, 17 from thunder attacks. TYPE-A is *slightly* better choice in our opinion, and while TYPE-C does have more enemies with weakness, not being able to use it in elemental chains doesn't cut it for us. Enough of that, let's return to the game and continue. Three NA exclusive bosses information (I'll just do a separate paragraph): - One is weak to beam attacks, two take normal damage from beam attacks - Two are weak to aura attacks, one takes normal damage from aura attacks - Two take normal damage from thunder attacks, one is strong to thunder attacks - Two take normal damage from fire attacks, one is strong to fire attacks - One is weak to ice attacks, two take normal damage from ice attacks - Two are weak to piercing attacks, one takes normal damage from piercing attacks - Two are weak to slash attacks, one takes normal damage from slash attacks - Two are weak to hit attacks, one takes normal damage from hit attacks So in the end it won't really make a difference after all (and you can't summon Erde Kaiser against Mike anyway). The recommendation of TYPE-A over TYPE-B still stands, though! When done, talk to it again, choose first option and set the ratio at 3:2:2. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0523-Xenosaga0524 Now go and have a word with a robot at extreme left of the dining room. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0525 Again talk with Adonis behind the counter and you will get SPECIAL ITEM: DECODER 14. Reward is yours even if you fail the campaign. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0526 CONGRATULATIONS! YOU'VE COMPLETED GS CAMPAIGN NO.27. We can now start unlocking some Segment Addresses at last. Go to the UMN point. As you enter it, you will see three new maps added. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0527 Old Miltia, Subconscious Domain (Summer), Subconscious Domain (Winter), Dammerung, in that order. You want to go to Old Miltia. Just follow the path we already took once before and make your way to Segment Address 14, unlock the door and nab SPECIAL ITEM: DECODER 07 & SPECIAL ITEM: ROBOT PART RIGHT ARM inside. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0528-Xenosaga0529 This is it, back out and return to Elsa. Because you have Decoder 07, we can now unlock the relevant door we found on the Dammerung trip, so use UMN point again and go to Dammerung. Make haste to Segment Address 07 and nab SPECIAL ITEM: ROBOT PART LEFT ARM inside. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0530 Return to Elsa and head for B1. Go left and talk with the robot in front of Weaponry.

Later in the game, head to Second Miltia Space Port and talk to the robot in NE corner. Sell your own items to the robot and try to eventually pay off Captain Matthews' 10,000,000 debts. Of course, you can start to pay off very early in the game before you even activate this GS. For a quick method, steal from the second last boss since he has Awakening IV, manuals which invoke new Double Techs - you can sell one such manual for 500,000. FYI, the game has an epilogue mode allowing you to fight some of final bosses again and again... get the idea? Repeat this til you pay it off.

If you feel you're underleveled or lack skills, return to Elsa, use UMN point and go abuse some enemies in earlier dungeons. This is also the second time you're gonna be using E.S in heat of combat - only you have three of them now. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0541 Our suggestion is to use Asher and Dinah. Keep Zebulun in the Reserve unless told otherwise. There are two things unique about Zebulun - it is the only E.S that can use Ether command and Escape command. Like with chrs, E.S in the Reserve recovers 25% of MAX HP and MAX EP after each battle. So, Asher and Dinah take damage, but you have Zebulun to heal their wounds after each battle. If you were by any chance lucky to get Tuned Circuit accessory from Pilum way back in Second Miltia, equip it on Asher. Save point immediately at the start. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0542 Head S and continue until you reach a straightforward path. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0543 Kill in your way with the help of yellow trap. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0544 is next opponent. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0545 At first cross go right and at the end destroy the pillar to reveal a weird symbol (you found another one like this in Subconscious Domain (Summer)). REFERENCE: Xenosaga0546-Xenosaga0548 Back to the cross and take S path. At 2nd cross take the upper path and onto the next screen for a simple puzzle. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0549-Xenosaga0551 You have 4 pairs of pillars which you can hit with Square - doing so will cause some ball-like devices further ahead to turn left/right respectively. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0552-Xenosaga0554 What you need to do is make the red dot inside each of four ball-like devices points toward the ship. When you do so, the hatch to ship's inside will open. Sooo... stand near switch pillars number 1... REFERENCE: Xenosaga0555 ... and hit the right pillar twice. You gotta force that balls ahead to be positioned like this: REFERENCE: Xenosaga0556 Switch pillars number 2 are next. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0557 Hit the right pillar once. Next are switch pillars number 3. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0558 Hit the left pillar (from Asher's point of view) twice. Switch pillars number 4 are the only ones remaining now. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0559 Hit the left pillar thrice and you did it! Board the elevator to go down, then go left and through the door. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0560-Xenosaga0561 Continue going left and eventually you'll be asked if you want to get off E.S. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0562 You'll be controlling Shion now (or whoever you put in the lead). Go left, make use of save point and go through the door. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0563-Xenosaga0564 In this area examine the red switch and pick top option to power up the nearby elevator. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0565 Then back to boarding the E.S, back up the elevator and all the way back to 2nd cross, where you take the lower path now. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0566 Kill . REFERENCE: Xenosaga0567 A lock-on target will appear again at the end - attack it twice and enter. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0568-Xenosaga0569 Now follow these directions carefully (destroy means cutting down obstacle): - Up, turn right, destroy, right, up, destroy, kill REFERENCE: Xenosaga0570 - Up, destroy, left, destroy, left, destroy, down, destroy, left, down, destroy, left, destroy, kill REFERENCE: Xenosaga0571 - Down, right, grab the chest with ACCESSORY: G SLOW GUARD REFERENCE: Xenosaga0572 - Left, up, right, up, right, up, right, up, right, destroy, up, destroy, right, up, grab the chest with ACCESSORY: CHARGE RECOVER REFERENCE: Xenosaga0573 - Down, left, down, left, left, destroy, up, destroy, left, up, destroy, left, destroy, destroy, down, destroy, kill (red trap nearby) REFERENCE: Xenosaga0574 Exit is to the left! REFERENCE: Xenosaga0575 If you'd like to kill another , from your current spot follow these directions: up, right, down, right, up, destroy, right, destroy, banzai (there's a yellow trap to help you nearby)! REFERENCE: Xenosaga0576 Once you do the enemy in: left, down, left, up, left, down, left, exit. In this room you can nail ITEM: 4x NANO REPAIR A, ITEM: 2x NANO REPAIR Z, ITEM: 2x NANO REPAIR A, ITEM: 2x NANO SPHERE. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0577-Xenosaga0580 Make use of the save point. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0581 Take the platform and while you're going up, make sure to destroy the crates. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0582-Xenosaga0584 Doing so will reveal an item box, which we shall nab later. Go through the door and boss battle awaits!! Also, if you're uncertain, backtrack a bit and fall into the battle to CONFIRM THAT YOUR BG IS AT VALUE OF 3!

This boss battle is the *second and last* chance to obtain the most valuable mech accessory in the game. It is Tuned Circuit, carried by Pilum. Hopefully you have acquired Psycho Pocket skill and teached it to MOMO. MOMO is the only chr in your party that can cast ethers while in E.S - so make that count and steal all you can. Tuned Circuit is an invaluable accessory and getting it is well worth the effort. It's Pilum and Scutum again. And we are aiming for Scutum again this time. For Pilum, by around 5th round, he will use the move with a Third Armament which deals 6500 to 10000 HPs. So make sure you prepare for that, otherwise, Pilum can take out one of E.S in just one move. Besides that, take out Scutum ASAP, then Pilum. Once you finish them off, head and save if you wish. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The recommended party: - Asher with Jin, Anti-Beam Armor (or EF Circuit A), Tuned Circuit, Charge Recover - Dinah with chaos, Anti-Beam Armor, EF Circuit A, Auxiliary Armor A - Zebulun with Ziggy, Anti-Beam Armor, Power Shield, Auxiliary Armor B Also, when in Party submenu, make sure Dinah's avatar is above Asher's! This will give you a stragetic advantage at one point in the battle. This will be a hard battle, no denying that, but the preparations we've made should ease up the tension a bit. Your first task will be to dispatch Scutum ASAP, and we've a bit of boosting will get rid of him in four attacks. Regarding special HP counts which when crossed trigger sth, this info is available: - Scutum's HP limits - 9600 HP, at which point it'll use Lightning's Grace - Pilum's HP limits - 8850 HP, at which point Scutum will cast Hero's Shield over it From start of battle Pilum uses Raucous Dance, Impulsion and Launcher. After receiving some attacks you will be getting notions of Richard goind mad. That's bad, cos soon this will be followed by Third Weapon (when his HP falls below 50%), and Richard will start using Impale and Dance-Madness - all of theese attacks cannot be evaded. Also, Third Weapon will always target the mech which is on the right side of the screen - in our example Asher, hence why I recommended switching Asher's and Dinah's positions. Pilum will at random turns taunt you with changing defense attributes - from what I was able to gather, this gives Pilum the ability to cboost if attacked with specific attacks. As to what governs this decision, I haven't been able to figure it out. Scutum has Ray, Sentenza and Orbis. Once you deplete 50% of its health, it'll beef itself up - Sentenza will gain the ability to induce L Slow, and Scutum gains access to Decaying Gas, very annoying attack that can poison both mechs. Based on the info, I hope you also see it is important we bat Scutum out of existence. Also, be careful of what enemies use on some turns - if you see stock-circle effect appear around either of them, it means that enemy is guarding until next turn. And if IA of guarding mech is high... yep, that's correct, Intercept probability. So if you see the effect I just mentioned, do not attack them until their next turn. Now, let's get rid of them... Battle begins - have both Asher and Dinah *stock* twice. Don't attack yet! Take whatever punishment both enemies will use against you (it's likely Scutum will skip a turn or two). Now when EC of both mechs is 200, we'll use Aura chain to deal some serious damage to Scutum. Try aiming for critical ESL, it helps a lot! When it's Dinah's turn, Boost Asher, then select Chained Blast and use it against Scutum. Asher's turn - follow up by choosing Wings of Light and watch that damage roll high! At this point Scutum will use Lightning's Grace on itself - matters not. Again stock twice with both Asher and Dinah and repeat the exercise on Scutum. I've had Scutum cboost on me quite often after Dinah used second Chained Blast on it, but Scutum didn't attack - instead it just skipped its turn. But since it had around 4000 HP remaining, I offed it easily with Asher's second Wings of Light. Sayonara to Scutum! When Scutum falls, Pilum erupts by casting Boost 1. As to why, it is beyond me - Enemy BG is already at 3 faaar ago. Attention now - Pilum's attacks will become stronger and you cannot evade them. Luckily, Pilum doesn't seem to use Third Weapon attack at all if it remains alone in the battle. Don't take this for granted, though, as I can be wrong. Continue stocking twice, then using the aforementioned combo attack to get rid of Pilum as well. If things get too hairy because you're losing too much HP, switch Dinah with Zebulun and remedy the situation with help of Medica ethers or have Zebulun take on the offensive role. Pilum defeated, and we rock. Oh, so Pilum pisses you off and you wish to kill it first? Here's few arguments why that isn't a good idea: - Scutum will heal it if Pilum is low on HP - once Pilum is below 50% of HP, Scutum will use Hero's Shield, which cuts any damage caused to Pilum *until it is defeated* in half (on plus side, the other half damage is taken by Scutum, so you're still dealing full potential) - Scutum's attacks are more damaging and it can poison your mechs; ergo, you don't really have time to afford messing with removing status changes On another note, both enemies are fairly easy to be affected with status changes, and it's quite fun watching them trying to hit you. ************************** VICTORY!

I will now introduce a section on LQMDR - Le-Quick-Matthews-Debt-Reduction! Orgulla is one of four bosses carrying Awakening item. She changes between two forms, Eryu and Manes. While in Eryu form, you can steal Skill Upgrade E, and Awakening II. When she switches to Manes, Awakening II is gone. When she reverts back to Eryu, Awakening II can be stolen again! Some preparation should be made though, in order to last through whole ordeal. a) Psycho Pocket ether - get by completing GS No.01 *before* diving into Subconscious domain - Summer. If you forget doing that, then just forget about this thing altogether. b) Shion powerleveling - when you're running with Shion alone on Dammerung, tear enemies apart until Shion is level 35, or 40 for good measure. As a side bonus all of this leveling will also affect *other* chrs as well and will bump their levels quite high as well. c) Some skills that are good to have are: Ice Coat, Blade Coat, Spear Coat, and possibly ST Resist 20 (complete GS No.11 to get this skill) or Combo Boost (get Decoder 2 in Ormus Stronghold, then unlock Seg.Add.02 back on Elsa to get this skill). The rest are Focus 1, Revert, Medica class ethers, Boost 1, Break Sensors, Break Arms, Break Armor (you'll see why in a moment). I think this would be it as far as preparing goes. *scratches head* Ok, N-Gage her. Now, Orgulla-Eryu has 30% resistance to Heavy, Blind and Weak. You'll want to induce L Heavy and L Blind on her - former will reduce her physical offense, while latter will cause her to miss more often with her attacks. Should you manage to get H type status on her, more power to you. Keep attacking her, you want her HP to drop under 1000 very quickly. Yes, she knows Refresh L and Refresh H, but she doesn't seem to cast them that often even with bad statuses on her. First action is to perform Pocket Rare ether combo and steal that Awakening II. Spear and Blade Coats will cut the damage Orgulla's doing in Eryu form. When you see following message: [Orgulla's eyes shine blue.], this means that Manes will awaken inbetween one to five of Orgulla's turns. Orgulla-Manes has 50% resistance to Heavy, Blind and Weak. For this part of battle Blade and Ice Coats will reduce the damage. Help yourself further with Ice Wall ether combo. It sucks that all bad statuses are nulled once Manes awakens (ditto when reverting back to Eryu). So you'll quickly need to recast some statuses onto her. While in Manes form, Orgulla sometimes sacrifices own HP to raise attack power or to refill her BG. Worry not, she knows Medica (in Eryu form), and she won't be sacrificing her HP anymore when she'll be low on it (she didn't for me). While she's affected with L or H statuses, your party stocks to regain EP thanks to Focus 1. Occassionally you may need to cast Boost 1 to refill your BG in case you needed some quick (Double Medica or Double Medica 2 recommended) healing should Orgulla manage to damage you substantially. And so the party goes on... in about two hours I have stolen 22 Awakenings II, one for myself, 20 to sell, and one just for the hell of it. With this you can already have X-Buster once we get out of Ormus! Eryu form attack behaviour (after reverting back from Manes for the 1st time): - casts "Quick", followed by "Eve of the Assassination"; use these two turns to recuperate and recover/revive characters you may have lost from Manes rush - do not attack her! - steal respawned Awakening II and Skill Upgrade E - on 12th-20th turn she gets you will be notified of "Orgulla's eyes shine blue!" - in up to 5 turns Manes awakens Manes form Attack behaviour - no specific attack pattern, except using Ice Blast on aired chrs, or Einherjar on downed chrs - Awakening II disappears during this round, and Skill Upgrade E respawns - do not attack her! - on between 6th-10th turn she gets she reverts back to Eryu Additionally, hitting Orgulla with hit attacks during Eryu form increases odds of triggering Manes, while hitting Orgulla with piercing attacks in Manes form increase odds of reverting back to Eryu. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Prepare thyself. What is to Split the coolest boss battle, is about to begin! The most useful skills to take into next battle are Ice Coat, Blade Coat, Spear Coat and ST Resist 20. Go right and step into the blue tube. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0690 Go along the path until a portion of the wall disappears. Enter and...

Otherwise, I don't know how you drag your game to this far. Anyway, keep attacking her and soon she will be using 'Manes Awakening', which makes her weak zone at CBB. Keep attacking her and heal frequently since her Valhalla attack can cause around 400 damage. And instead of going for Air, try out Down, your attacks seem to be more effective during Down. Or you could have air first, and wait for her to drop down, and get you the Down effect. She will also cast Bloody Promise (by sacrificing her own HP), which will raise her attack power, makes her attack even more deadly. She has tons of HP, so do prepare for a long battle. Keep your HP high and attack her zone weakness. Ziggy seems to be very effective against her weak zone, so use him. He can damage her by around 700 per hit during Down. After a while, 'Manes Controlled Program' will take place, and her weak zone goes back to BCBB. Then soon, Manes Awakanening happens again. Keep your characters high in HP, heal if you need to. I recommend using Ziggy, KOS-MOS and Jin since all got lots of HP. She also has the second Double Tech awakening book (last boss of disc 1 has the first one), so make sure you rare steal from her before you kill her. I recommend you to steal it in the early stage of the battle. Have patience with her. Ziggy is pretty much the key here. Have everyone stock up to 3, as well as MAX BOOST. Once that's done, and she's probably in her MANES AWAKENING, so, have KOS-MOS to initiate the whole combo. Start with CB, then Circle all the way, and hopefully Ziggy is after her on. But not him yet, quickly BOOST up Jin and Circle all the way as well. Then boost back and forth between KOS-MOS and Jin to use Circle, when they are done, boss drops down from Air and create Down effect, and what's in for her? Yup, Ziggy with CC and Circle all the way, and you won't believe how much damage Ziggy can cause with this. Repeat this couple times, and she will be gone. And hopefully she doesn't use Medica which heal her around 4500. If it helps, try out Ether such as Break Sensor, Break Arm and Break Armor. There are also Break Beam and Break Shield. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - *stares at Orgulla* Drool! *is smacked by Kosy* What? *is smacked by Shiony* What??? *evil stare* Oh, right! So I'm supposed to kill this thing? *nod nod* Dammit! Oh well, a job's a job... *sigh* Enter the battle with KOS-MOS, Jin, MOMO. Equipped skills are: Spear Coat, Blade Coat, Ice Coat, ST Resist 20. If you have Swimsuit for KOS-MOS, use it instead of Spear Coat. If you rely on Combo Boost a lot, use it instead of Ice Coat. Your BG matters not when battle starts. Sealed Throne nicks all of your boosts and adds them to Orgulla's BG. Gimme back! Orgulla uses a lot of Poison attacks while in Eryu form, so this is why status protection is rather important - otherwise you'd need to spend lots of turns batting off Poison. Try to inflict L Blind or H Blind on Orgulla to decrease accuracy of her attacks - note that she can remove the status by corresponding Refresh! Before you start attacking, do some battle preparation - start by having MOMO, Jin and KOS-MOS stock until their SG is at 3. Don't forget to keep an eye on your HP and heal accordingly when your HP gets dangerously low - use Medica ether combinations for that! Since your BG will be 0 at start of battle regardless of what you do, apply some Boost 1 ethers or some regular attacks. Be warned that Orgulla has awesome AGL in this part of battle, so she can attack a lot. Now you're prepared! Cast Thunder Sword on all three chrs, followed by Attacker on Jin and KOS-MOS, and Ether Spear on MOMO! Start the chain by having either Jin or KOS-MOS do BC on boss, boosting other chr afterwards and doing BB - Break initiated! Immediately follow up by Circle attacks, which will launch Orgulla in the air. Empty the stock of whoever chr you were using, boosting other two and emptying their stocks accordingly. Watch that AC Thunder chain grow, too! Damage done will be phenomenal. Now, unless you were *really* leveling up on Dammerung, Orgulla will still not be defeated. Depending on her HP, two things will happen: either she'll switch to Manes, or she'll remain in Eryu, but cast Quick, then Eve, then Medica on herself (with combo boosting, of course). Both are bad, so you're somewhat equally screwed. Manes is slower than Eryu, but stronger in terms of physical attacks. She also increases her POW, and occassionally BG, but at the expense of her own HP - but is that a good thing? Nope, as you'll be prone to heal a lot. If Manes manages to Air a chr, and she combo boosts afterwards, she'll smack that chr with Ice Blast. For Downing a chr she follows up with Einherjar, her strongest move. In addition to this Vigrid move can inflict L Weak, which makes it really "ouch" for you. Hope you have that Revert learned. Now, how to counter this? Use Break Sensors on her, and she'll have much trubles connecting, giving you a room to breathe. Stock until your combatants have SG of 3, then raise your BG count as well. Instead of Thunder Sword, Flame Sword is recommended to be used here. Her Break sequence changes too - it is now CBB. Either Jin or KOS-MOS alone can Break Orgulla in one fell swoop - use Triangle, Square and then Circle. Break initiated, Orgulla Aired. Keep emptying the stocks of all chrs and Orgulla is defeated. Orgulla: "Don't touch me!" The other scenario is Orgulla Quicking herself... AGL of 20! Hello! Additionally, Eve increases likelihood of Poison being induces via Byron attacks. Healing 4500 HP to herself shouldn't worry you though - we can and will shave this off in second assault wave. Just repeat the instructions shown some paragraphs back and you will bash her in no time. Once she enters Manes form, Second Virus may or may not activate on 10th turn she reaches. Additionally, hitting Orgulla with hit attacks during Eryu form increases odds of triggering Manes, while hitting Orgulla with piercing attacks in Manes form increase odds of reverting back to Eryu. ************************** VICTORY!

[The distortion slowed down the missiles!] - appears if long-range attacks were used against boss while under D Field effect -------------------------------- BOSS STRATEGY -------------------------------- Damage estimates: Genesis 5000 dmg to all, Falling Rose 2000 dmg to one, Blow 2500 dmg to one, Crimson 1200 dmg to one, Rain 1000 dmg to E.S hit. Cannot use Move command. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - You will end up fighting E.S Issachar. I use E.S Asher with Jr and chaos, the second one is E.S Zebulun with MOMO and Ziggy. With E.S Asher, use Triangle. E.S Zebulun can support. Just watch out for your EP with Zebulun and for boss' best move, "In the Beginning" which can cause 3000 - 5000 damage on both E.S. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Okies, first the recommended party: - Asher with Jr and Jin, Anti-Thunder Armor, Tuned Circuit, Charge Recover - Dinah with KOS-MOS and chaos, Tuned Circuit, Auxiliary Armor A, EF Circuit A - Zebulun with MOMO and Shion, Anti-Fire Armor, Auxiliary Armor B, Power Shield If Tuned Circuits aren't available, replace with Auxiliary or EF Circuits, or Anti-Fire Armor for Asher. All of the E.S pilots should have Combo Boost equipped, if you bothered to go collect it before facing Orgulla. Regarding special HP counts which when crossed trigger sth, this info is available: - 15200 HP, at which point Issachar will give off its final warning, Genesis attack imminent, only under D Field effect - 9120 HP, at which point Issachar can use Day of Judgment, only under D Field effect From start of battle Issachar uses Crimson, Rain and Rose I. Rose II is used if you launch boosted combo attacks against Issachar or when Issy is low on HP. As you wear down Issachar's HP, it will sometimes skip a turn by taunting you. This is also a warning of incoming Genesis, its strongest move. Access to it (as well as Gungnir's Blow) is granted once Issy's HP falls below 15200. Battle begins - have both Asher and Dinah *stock* twice. Don't attack yet! Take whatever punishment Issachar will use against you. Now when EC of both mechs is 200, we'll use Aura chain to deal some serious damage to Issachar. Try aiming for critical ESL, it helps a lot! When it's Dinah's turn, Boost Asher, then select Chained Blast and use it against Issachar. Asher's turn - follow up by choosing Wings of Light and watch that damage roll high! It is likely you'll push Issy's HP over 50% lost, so a "final warning" will be issued. Genesis attack will follow on subsequent turns, but D Field must be cast first. If Jin is copilot of Zebulun, you can launch Golden Bow, which clears off support attributes, hence no Genesis for Issy. That's just too bad! At all times pay attention to turns in which Issy will not attack you or do anything else. If stock-circle effect appears around Issy, it can Intercept your attacks. Issy's Intercept allows it to drain HP from one of your mechs, so that's a no-no. Stock instead or bring in Zebulun to recover HP. So, Issy is below 50% HP, and battle has become more interesting. Once D Field is cast, Genesis is usually cast on 4th turn Issy gets under D Field effect, meaning you still have time to recover. D Field has the added plus of allowing Issy to guard against your long-range attacks. When Issy's HP is below 9120, D Field was cast, and Enemy BG is 3, Day of Judgment shall be issued. Then Issy will combo boost and rain your ass with consecutive barrage of Crimson, Rose, Genesis. So you'll want to repeat the exercise instructed to you four paragraphs back and smash Issy with another Aura chain. On another note, Issy isn't too strong against status afflictions, so if you can spare time toying with them, go for it. Issy can remove them, though. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Provided by Griffon of Aulde: For a party setup I suggest E.S Asher with Shion as the co-pilot. This would allow you to use the Gattling Blast move, which is based on Asher's POW rather than its EATK, and has the pierce attribute, which is more effective than the ice attribute. For the other I would suggest using Zebulun, with Jin as the co-pilot. This allows them access to attack that has both pierce and aura attributes, and nullifies any beneficial statuses Issachar has. ************************** VICTORY!

Before we continue, a slight change of plans - there's a lot of GS stuff that can be done right now. They can be divided into two types - those before accessing next dungeon and those after accessing next dungeon. Since you can do both types as soon as you set foot into next dungeon, let's travel there first. Go into the bridge again and talk to Captain Matthews. The first option will get you to Submerged City where you continue the story, so choose it.

And when you set destination for Submerged City any time afterwards, you automatically appear inside Submerged City. REFERENCE: Xenosaga0735 However, do *NOT* advance yet - we needed to do that in order to get access to few more GS campaigns, which we shall get around to do now. Return to Elsa, and talk with Matthews. When prompted, choose first option to be taken to destination selected. First choice is 'Second Miltia', second is 'Kukai Foundation' and last is 'Cancel'.

You can use Ziggy as well, but Rod has higher weakness to aura than fire. Your choice, though. Equipped skills: Hammer Coat, Combo Boost, ST Resist 20, ST Resist 30. Battle starts, so begin by stocking until SG is at 3 for all combatants. Ensure that BG is at 3 as well, and then proceed by Aura Sword on Jr and Jin, as well as Attacker on Jr, Jin and chaos. Take care of removing L Poison as you go. Do not allow Rod to gain H Poison status, as this will cause two things: Rod will concentrate on that chr alone, and it will cast Quick on it in order for affected chr to reach turns faster and thus die faster. Now you're prepared! Start the chain by having either one of your chrs do BB on the boss, boosting *chaos* afterwards and doing C, followed by whatever - Break initiated! Immediately follow up by Circle attacks, which will smash Rod on the ground. Empty chaos' stock, then boost remaining chrs and emptying their stocks accordingly. Watch that AC Aura chain grow, too! Damage done will be phenomenal. In other news, once Rod's HP is below 8800, it will gain access to Touch Combo attack, its strongest move. Besides dealing a lot of damage, it has high potential of inducing L Poison. Now Rod also has the ability to combo boost, so you'll need to be extra careful. ************************** VICTORY!

Then, depending on damage you cause: | DAMAGES | RESULT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Below 2000 dmg | Ship's bottom | Lower hull is flooded, fixed in 1 turn 2000 - 3000 dmg | Transfer room | Unable to summon Valys, fixed in 3 turns Above 3000 dmg | Ether room | Beam cannons are offline for 4 turns Wee, another funny battle. You're gonna be blasted with beam ether attacks only, so Zebulun and Dinah are recommended to be take due to their high EDEF. Pay attention now! Don't use any boosts from your BG until I tell your otherwise. As battle starts, memorize the ESL. You'll need to attack Naglfar twice on this ESL to destroy its shield. Use Zebulun to do that (use a Boost if you have to), while you stock three times Dinah. Once Dinah's EC is 300, and if Naglfar's shield still isn't destroyed, have it join in the battle. Damage done from supporting Valys should be minimal at best, and taking a possible hit from Naglfar itself shouldn't worry you. If it does anyway, Zebulun will save you with Medica. Now, when it's Dinah's turn and assuming KOS-MOS has Combo Boost equipped, do the following: boost Dinah (you can do so thanks to Combo Boost) and attack Naglfar by Triangle, then repeat the sequence until your BG is 0 and it's still Dinah's turn. AC Beam will be at 3 or 4 - follow this up by releasing X-Buster for some major damage - I did over 10000 dmg to Naglfar alone! This will totally wipe out all Valys and prevent Naglfar from using beam cannons for four turns (if dmg inflicted exceeds 3000). For dmg below 2000 Naglfar won't act for 1 turn, and for dmg between 2000-3000 Naglfar can't summon Valys in 3 turns. If no special conditions are inflicted yet, Naglfar requires two turns to fully charge one of its cannons. Ensure your mechs' HP is above 5000, or you'll lose a combatant. Once all Valys are cleared off, Naglfar can waste turns by summoning more of them. Taking them out is a nice source of extra EXP, so go for it if you wish. When original 35200 HP is smashed off, Naglfar will recover 6000 HP. At this point it will begin charging for its strongest assault, and you will be notified of it by the message telling that "crew is abandoning ship". In two turns it will unleash Barrage for around 8000 dmg to one mech, at the same time self-destructing as well. So you either heal one/both mechs, or let one of them take the blow (and miss the massive EXP you will gain?). Have fun. ************************** VICTORY!

Can use Move command. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Start the battle by stealing the third new Double Tech manual. Boss' weak zone is CBCB, so you need to boost another character up to do CB after you input CB with the first character. Jin will automatically join the battle, so do use him. Since boss is weak against Ether, have MOMO in the party as well. The third member, I use Jr. Keep hitting his weak zone at CB first, if you try to boost up another character, it will probably fail since boss will mostly BREAK it. Also, boss seems to have more than one third new Double Tech Awakening. Do steal from him and sell it off to K-2 later. Since Jr's attacks is considered to be Pierce and boss is weak against it, have Jr to stock up to 3 and attack him from back. With back hit, you can get some decent damage. MOMO is also decent for damage since her attacks are ether based. Jin pretty much aims for Back Hit here. All three here will need to heal regularly besides the attacking. Continue to hit him and he will soon cast out a shadow of himself with less than 1000 HP with no zone. Forget him, go for the real boss. As the battle continue, boss will cast off the shadow. When he's low in HP, he will cast this move that will force GAME OVER within 3 turns or so. Good luck with killing him with that. So when you fighting him, don't constantly go all out, do save some Stock and boost for this. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Enter the battle with KOS-MOS, Jr, MOMO. Equipped skills are: Spear Coat, Flame Coat, Blade Coat, Combo Boost. If you have Swimsuit for KOS-MOS, use it instead of Spear Coat. Regarding special HP counts which when crossed trigger sth, this info is available: - 16640 HP, at which point Chaaya can be summoned (two times only!), and boss gains access to Shiva and Kalagnirudra - 7000 HP, at which point Acala Seal will begin forming IMPORTANT: As the battle starts, chr that occupies third Attacker slot, is replaced by Jin. Also, Jin *must* be the chr who deals fatal blow to the boss. If you use any other chr, boss will remain at 1 HP, cboost and use one of his attacks. In our case, MOMO will be replaced by Jin, but simply switch them again when Jin gets first turn in battle. Before you start attacking, do some battle preparation - start by having MOMO, Jr and KOS-MOS stock until their SG is at 3. Don't forget to keep an eye on your HP and heal accordingly when your HP gets dangerously low - use Medica ether combinations for that! If your BG becomes depleted, apply some Boost 1 ethers or some regular attacks. Now you're prepared! Cast Ice Sword on all three chrs, followed by Attacker on Jr and KOS-MOS, and Ether Spear on MOMO! Start the chain by having Jr do CB on boss, boosting KOS-MOS afterwards and doing CB - Break initiated - immediately follow up by Circle attacks, which will launch boss in the air. Empty KOS-MOS' stock, then boost other two chrs and empty their stocks accordingly. Watch that AC Ice chain grow, too! Damage done will be phenomenal. Wondering why Ice Sword and not any other? Boss takes reduced damage from fire, thunder and aura, and while he is extra vulnerable to beam, there's no consistent way of performing long AC Beam chains. It's unlikely you'll defeat the boss by now, so let's discuss further. Boss will now most likely summon Chaaya, a direct copy of himself. While it possesses most of the attacks the original has, it can only be hurt by aura attacks and it has only 650 HP. Smash it away as soon as you can with Aura Blast or Heaven's Rain and one Chaaya less to worry about. If you'll let it live, you have two further options: either attack Chaaya instead, and for whatever damage you cause to it, it will deduct that same amount from real boss' HP! There's also a risk of having Chaaya heal the real boss for 5200 HP. So, what will be your choice? Once boss' HP is below 7000, things get hairy. Acala Seal will begin to be formed (requires four castings of special moves), and unless you defeat the boss by the time he casts 4th move, you're dead meat. Once Krita-Yuga is cast, take this time to recuperate, stock, Ice Sword your chrs, and perform the combo chain once again, this time bringing boss' HP down to 1. If Jin isn't already in your party, switch him in and have him do one last strike on the boss for victory to be yours! ************************** VICTORY!

There's more GS campaign, Decoders and the rest of the stuff to be done, so don't think we're going in Omega System just yet. Until further notice this is how Elsa can travel between places. If Elsa's current location is Omega System and you wish to visit: - Second Miltia - talk to Matthews, pick first choice, then first choice, done - Kukai - talk to Matthews, pick first choice, then second choice, done If Elsa's current location is Second Miltia and you wish to visit: - Kukai - talk to Matthews, pick first choice, then second choice, done - Omega System - talk to Matthews, pick first choice, then first choice, done And if Elsa's current location is Kukai and you wish to visit: - Second Miltia - talk to Matthews, pick first choice, then second choice, done - Omega System - talk to Matthews, pick first choice, then first choice, done Also, when you set up destination for Omega System for the first time, you'll regain control of your chr on Elsa's bridge - go to Elsa's E.S hangar and board E.S to appear inside Omega System. And when you set destination for Omega System any time afterwards, you automatically appear inside Omega System. And another reminder about Kukai & Durandal: When you set course for Kukai, you will get on Durandal first, so you'll need to take the freighter which travels between Kukai and Durandal - you can find the freighter in NE corner of Durandal's dock area.

Equipped skills: Blade Coat, Flame Coat, Combo Boost, ST Resist 20 (or ST Resist 30). Battle starts, so begin by stocking until SG is at 3 for all combatants. Ensure that BG is at 3 as well, and then proceed by Aura Sword on KOS-MOS and MOMO, as well as Attacker on KOS-MOS, chaos, and Ether Spear on MOMO. Now you're prepared! Start the chain by having chaos move first - do Square, Square, then Circle all the way. You'll Break the boss and Down Grips at the same time! Immediately boost KOS-MOS, empty her stock, then follow up with MOMO, emptying her stock as well. Watch that AC Aura chain grow, too! Damage done will be phenomenal. In other news, once Grips's HP is below 11200, it will gain access to Telepathy, with which it can drain your HP or EP, and increase either STR or EATK. Fortunately, effect wears off after few turns, and in addition Grips is pretty stupid as well. It will increase its STR, but instead barrage you with ether spells? Hehehe. Take care of removing L Stun (Evil Eye) or H Stop (Evil Glare) as you go. Do not allow Grips to gain L Stun on too many chrs, as you will not be able to act. If you haven't offed Grips yet, simply repeat the procedure of stocking, Aura Sword on those who need it and dispatching the boss 9 feet under. ************************** VICTORY!

With Ziggy as the sub pilot of E.S Dinah, trigger Meteo Fall at Max Charge. E.S Zebulun can support and heal if you need to. Since Inversion is weak against fire, Meteo Fall does around 5000 - 11000 damage.

Regarding special HP counts which when crossed trigger sth, this info is available: - 24800 HP, at which point Inversion gains Ether Jamming and High Shout attacks As the battle starts, pay attention to whatever values your EC, HP and BG are. When Inversion reaches second turn, one of three messages will be displayed. Take a look at the below chart and react accordingly. | Must maintain: | When attacked, cboosts if your amount: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HP gauge | Below the amount | is equal or above the memorized amount EC gauge | Above the amount | is equal or below the memorized amount Boost gauge | Any amount but memorized | is the same as memorized amount If you do not wish to worry about being cboosted to death, bring in Zebulun and inflict L Blind or H Blind on Inversion. Former will prevent AEE cboosts for 5 turns, while latter shuts them off until Inversion uses Refresh H to clear it off. Bring in Zebulun and Dinah. Use Break Sensors on Inversion immediately until it's affected, then stock three times with both mechs. Try aiming for critical ESL or "Ether effect up" ESL for some major damage from both Iron Blade and Meteor Blast attacks. Once Inversion's HP is below 24800, it may try analyzing your Ether powers instead. If Zebulun gets affected by H Lost, you may get screwed, so switch it out for Asher. Once Jamming or Shout are used, get Zebulun back in and resume stocking and unleashing Iron Blade and Meteor Blast until Inversion is no more. ************************** VICTORY! CONGRATULATIONS! ************************** After the battle enter the N door. REFERENCE: Xenosaga1184 You will be doing another simple puzzle. You can only destroy a cube by facing its green side (as explained by green console to your left as soon as you enter the room), and while you're doing that, you will also get ACCESSORY: CHARGE BOOST, ACCESSORY: G ETHER PD GUARD, ITEM: NANO SPHERE.

Cannot use Move command. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - You will end up fighting Cathedral. Its weak zone is CCCC, so you need to boost another character in order to Break it. Keep attacking and heal. This boss isn't that difficult compared to previous fights. This boss has Air Block, so go for Down effect instead. However, do pay attention to the weak zone. It will change after a while. Cathedral's attacks are mostly for everyone, so keep your party's HP high with healing. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - My recommended party is chaos, KOS-MOS and Jin. Equipped skills: Beam Coat, Combo Boost, ST Resist 20 and ST Resist 30. Battle starts, so begin by stocking until SG is at 3 for all combatants. Ensure that BG is at 3 as well, and then proceed by Aura Sword on KOS-MOS and Jin, as well as Attacker on KOS-MOS, chaos, and Jin. Beam damage inflicted shouldn't be too great of a threat, and if it is, use Medica ether combos. And as Cathedral tries to inflict various status changes on you, they will all fail. Now you're prepared! Start the chain by having KOS-MOS or Jin move first - do CC, then boost chaos and do CC with him as well, followed by Circle all the way. You'll Break Cathedral and Down it at the same time! Immediately boost KOS-MOS, empty her stock, then follow up with Jin, emptying his stock as well. Watch that AC Aura chain grow, too! Damage done will be phenomenal. Eventually Wheel of Memory will be used. When it is, do not attack Cathedral! Let it remain in White Robe form. Cry of the Rapture has obscenely strong ether attacks (awoken if attacked by female), while Call to Arms will destroy you with physical attacks, first by Airing your chrs, and then using Quake to finish them off. Memories of Guadalupe is but an easy move to avert. Cast Safety Level or Best Ally on chr affected and let him/her be in the party until countdown ends. Piece of cake. White Robe can heal itself if low on HP. 8000 HP recovered isn't too hard to smash off again, but beware if Oracle was used beforehand. Use Annihilation to remove Charge Time status. All in all, Cathedral isn't hard boss, provided you know what you're doing, and taking correct countermeasures. ************************** VICTORY!

Start the battle by stealing the fourth new Double Tech manual. And you can also see he's weak against Pierce, Slash and Hit. I use Jin, KOS-MOS. And for the last one, I exclude out Ziggy, Shion and MOMO since their attacks relate to Ether but not physical where the boss' weakness is. Pick Jr or chaos, and switch characters around if you wish. Continue to hit him and heal. Once you finish him off, he will come back for another fight. He will come back with 32400 HP, with weak zone at BCC. The weakness is same as above, strong against Ice, Fire and Thunder. His attacks are considered to be Aura. You killed him once. And you can do it again! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - My recommended party is KOS-MOS, Jr and MOMO. Equipped skills: Aura Coat, Combo Boost, ST Resist 30 and Last Revenge. Regarding special HP counts which when crossed trigger sth, this info is available: - 25920 HP, at which point boss gains access to Quick and Gravestone Lock - 16200 HP, at which point boss calls for backside support, and gains access to Curse of Gartes - 6480 HP, at which point backside support can fire on one of next turns Battle starts, so begin by stocking until SG is at 3 for all combatants. Ensure that BG is at 3 as well. Then cast either Safety Level or Best Ally on all combatants, proceed by Aura Sword on all, as well as Attacker on KOS-MOS and Jr, and Ether Spear on MOMO. Preparations are done - if you're lacking HP, recover yourself. Start the chain by having Jr move first - do BC, then boost KOS-MOS and do BB, followed by Circle all the way - Break initiated and boss Aired - boost Jr at this moment, empty his stock, then follow up with MOMO, emptying her stock as well. Watch that AC Aura chain grow, too! Damage done will be phenomenal. Repeat the exercice until boss falls for the first time. When it recovers, his break zone will change to BCC. His attacks haven't changed, except for the name and strength, but only until he loses 50% of HP. Until that happens, keep stocking, Aura Sword, and boosting attacks... when boss' HP hits 25920 or lower, he'll be able to use Quick and Gravestone Lock. Don't allow him to H Boost Lock you, else you won't be able to boost! Remove the status ASAP. Also, if you have Annihilation, cast in on boss each time he casts Quick. When 16200 HP limit is crossed, boss will begin to Curse you every so often. Either remove the status or do anything but attack for three turns. And on 6480 or lower HP pay attention to what boss will do when his turn is reached. If he starts talking about "striking down the heretics", you have a problem coming up soon. Cease attacking and heal yourself to full, then use Stock command to assume guarding stance and possibly evade U.M.N. Cannon attack. After it is used, you have several turns left in which to regroup before boss can unleash deadly U.M.N. Cannon again. ************************** VICTORY!

This is, technically speaking, the final battle of the game. However, boss will cast the ether "Safety Level" on you. And this fight isn't a fight at all since boss is taunting you through out the battle. Boss' weak zone is BC, has 5300 HP, weak against physical attack and pierce, pretty much perfect for Jr. Kill him and be done with this battle. The weak zone changes as well, so pay attention to that. Boss will also heal himself.

When you successfully inflict a break, boss will cboost and a message "Boss' tension is uplifted!" will appear, notifying you of success. While you can mess up once or twice, I don't recommend doing that, as boss will heal himself. You cannot die in this battle, so boss or Jr aren't going anywhere. Once boss' HP becomes 0, Eternal Chain will be used. This is it! You have completed the game successfully! ************************** VICTORY! CONGRATULATIONS! ************************** You're now (almost) done with the game. Sit back and enjoy the ending. At the end, you will be asked to make a Clear Data save. Please do so by pressing Circle. Save your game in a different slot or over your last existing one. Unlike Episode I's, you CAN load the Clear Data and continue to play... sort of like an epilogue. So make sure to check next section on the info on what can you find in the Epilogue... REFERENCE: Xenosaga1272 After your game is saved, take a look at it - you'll see 'Clear Data' written above the avatars of your chrs.

EPILOGUE - G1700 =============================================================================== =============================================================================== From the title screen select 'Continue'. Load the Clear Data... REFERENCE: Xenosaga1274 ... and you will be at the save point of the Elsa. Before continuing, let us explain some features of the epilogue: - Elsa is currently stationed inside Kukai - several optional dungeons are now available for exploration - several optional bosses can be fought - only in Epilogue can you make a complete collection of Secret Keys, Segment Addresses and Decoders, Double Techs - only in Epilogue can you complete the rest of GS campaigns - Omega System dungeon itself can be accessed again by talking to Matthews (the bosses left inside are final boss of Omega System and *the* final boss, the other two we defeated are gone for good) VERY IMPORTANT WARNING!!! Until you complete *all* GS Campaigns from No.01 to No.35, *avoid the person strolling in an open area in front of Moby Dick's like a plague*!!! Her name is Winona and you WANT to stay far away from her. REFERENCE: Xenosaga1275 When approached and talked to with Shion as your lead chr (any other chr is fine), and if you choose first option as well, GS Campaign No.36 will start. This may not be bad in itself, but primary condition for passing No.36 is successfully completing all other campaigns. And if you forget that you already talked to her? Then you may screw up... The easiest solution is to stay the hell away from that woman until the time is right. Also, if you examine UMN point, you will see 8th map added: Omega System. REFERENCE: Xenosaga1276 Omega System can be explored either by chrs or by E.S. Right now we want to explore via chrs. You're itching to know what was across the bridge too shabby for E.S, ha? REFERENCE: Xenosaga1277-Xenosaga1278 When you appear (mmm, chibi KOSy), go S, then board the elevator. Go all the way *down* and get off the elevator. You'll be in the room with the save point, but we aren't interested in that right now. Go through huge N door (which you had to deactivate before in order to allow E.S to go through)... REFERENCE: Xenosaga1279 ... and on next screen make chopsticks of three crates in the corner to obtain SPECIAL ITEM: DECODER 10. REFERENCE: Xenosaga1280 Back to the elevator, and this time go one level up, then disembark, save at the save point and use the path on the left to cross to other side... REFERENCE: Xenosaga1281-Xenosaga1282 Carry on - shoot the box for ITEM: BIO SPHERE. REFERENCE: Xenosaga1283 Now use the elevator to go down. REFERENCE: Xenosaga1284 Here kill ... REFERENCE: Xenosaga1285 ... then go S and through red door into next area. REFERENCE: Xenosaga1286 Head right into next area. REFERENCE: Xenosaga1287 See the stacked boxes? REFERENCE: Xenosaga1288 You can only break them if you face their green side. Anyway, I'll do a chart again. But first... northern column is seven crates high and will be called Column A [CA]; easter column is four crates high and will be called Column B [CB]; southern column is six crates high and will be called Column C [CC]. I will be counting crates from top to bottom - mentioned near them will be directions their green side is facing. Now... COLUMN A COLUMN B COLUMN C 1st west west west 2nd west south south 3rd south north west 4th south west west 5th west west 6th west west 7th west If you mess up, you can check the green console and reset the positions by choosing second option (first one explains things, and last is 'Cancel'). REFERENCE: Xenosaga1289 And there's an elevator with which you can move between upper and lower floors. REFERENCE: Xenosaga1290 So how do you clear this and nab all items? You can safely terminate all pillars with blue glass, as they're not important. In CB and CC break crates which are facing south. REFERENCE: Xenosaga1291-Xenosaga1292 Then go to lower floor. In CC break *one* crate facing west. REFERENCE: Xenosaga1293 Go to upper floor. In CA break two crates facing south. REFERENCE: Xenosaga1294-Xenosaga1295 Go to lower floor. In CA break two crates facing west. REFERENCE: Xenosaga1296-Xenosaga1297 Go to upper floor. You can now obtain ITEM: 20x SKILL UPGRADE D. REFERENCE: Xenosaga1298 Back to lower floor - destroy all crates in CC, and in CB smash one crate facing west. REFERENCE: Xenosaga1299-Xenosaga1303 Back to upper floor you can now bag ITEM: 10x CLASS UPGRADE C. REFERENCE: Xenosaga1304 Back to lower floor - smash CA and CB all the way. REFERENCE: Xenosaga1305-Xenosaga1309 You can now claim SPECIAL ITEM: SECRET KEY 25, which unlocks SKILL: FOCUS 2, Link B, Class Level 4. REFERENCE: Xenosaga1310 We're done here! Back out of Omega System, examine UMN point again and dive into Submerged City (sixth option in UMN point). Go W into the next area, destroy debris then kill and continue. Destroy some more cars, and fight before you get to the cross. Take left path and you will come to Segment Address 10 - as we have Decoder 10 as well, you can bag SPECIAL ITEM: SECRET KEY 26, which unlocks SKILL: OVERLOAD, Link C, Class Level 4. REFERENCE: Xenosaga1311 Back out of this dungeon now, for we have what we came for. You'll reappear on Elsa. Talk to Professor that's near. REFERENCE: Xenosaga1312 He's trying to stop Dark Erde Kaiser and needs you to find Black Professor. If not done so already in course of regular game, keep talking to Professor for more scenes in which you're awarded Shion's Erde ethers (section 30 for more details).

The 2 arms have 2400 HP, and the body has 25600. Since the enemy is a sea creature, fire works well here. So, have Ziggy in the party. The arms can absorb HP and EP, but take out the body first. I personally use Shion and Jr along with Ziggy. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - My recommended party is Jr, KOS-MOS and MOMO. Equipped skills: Combo Boost, Hammer Coat, ST Resist 30 and ST Double (swap with Last Revenge, if you need extra insurance). Battle starts, so begin by stocking until SG is at 3 for all combatants. Ensure that BG is at 3 as well and cast Safety Level or Best Ally on all combatants, and then proceed by Flame Sword on KOS-MOS, MOMO and Jr, as well as Attacker on KOS-MOS and Jr, and Ether Spear on MOMO. Take care to frequently heal HP and EP loss from Feelers. From start of battle Virus doesn't attack much, but focuses more on inflicting status changes on you and Quicking Feelers. I suggest ignoring Feelers, as they will simply get respawned. Also note that you cannot Break this boss! Now you're prepared! Start the chain by whoever (make sure you target Virus!), taking care to boost and emptying chrs' stocks. As AC Fire chain grows, so does the damage done. In case you didn't kill it yet, don't panic. Again repeat stocking, gaining enough boosts for your BG, casting Flame Sword, and then boosting while building up AC Fire chain. Once Virus falls, take care of Feelers as well. ************************** VICTORY! CONGRATULATIONS! ************************** Once you are done, get back to Glenn.

Can use Move command. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The boss' weakness is ether attack, B, aura, fire and hit. It's got 96000 HP, so prepare for a long battle. I have MOMO+Jin and Jr+Ziggy. Basically still the same old method. Charge EC200 and use it. Heal with Zebulun if you need to. Do take advantage of the Back Hit, so move one E.S behind/front the enemy. This enemy is pretty fast and can attack twice in a row. If somehow it uses its Intercept Attack, that's game over for you. However, the game will hint out that with it trying to poison your mech. And since you can predict the IA, the best is to have one E.S to use normal attack that hopefully give Critical to it so the IA number for it will be halved. Since this enemy uses close range attack, so you use long range, which is triangle. If you want to rely on normal attack, switch out Asher and have Dinah in. Or you can start the battle with Dinah and Zebulun. The pilots for Zebulun is the same as above, as for Dinah, have Ziggy with KOS-MOS. Do aware of Dinah's Triangle can alone cause 5000+ damage. And Meteo Fall can cause around 20000. Basically, Dinah is a MUST. And with Zebulun's healing, you can end the battle pretty quick. If the enemy uses poison and keeps STOCKING, DO NOT attack it. That seems to trigger its Intercept Attack. Until the boss itself starts using attacks again, don't touch it. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Asher not recommended for this battle. Zebulun with MOMO (Combo Boost, ST Resist 20, ST Resist 30, EP Half) & Ziggy equipment: Auto Recover, Tuned Circuit, Charge Recover Dinah with KOS-MOS (Combo Boost, ST Resist 20, ST Resist 30, whatever) & Shion equipment: Charge Clean, EMAX300, Tuned Circuit If you don't have Tuned Circuits, replace with Auxiliary Armors. When battle begins, Scarab will be "surprised". For further six turns Scarab will skip 'em and count how many times you will attack it. After six turns pass, your actions will have following effects on Scarab: Attacked... | Effect achieved... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0 - 3 times | No changes in statistics 4 - 6 times | POW+50, ARM+20, EATK+20, EDEF+20 7+ times | POW+100, ARM+50, EATK+50, EDEF+50 Sooo, unless you want to become scrap metal, don't attack it. Instead stock and use X-Buster with Dinah and Power Kick with Zebulun. Dinah's Beam Blaster also deals great damage (recommended over X-Buster), esp if attacked from behind and on correct ESL slot (critical for example). Boss is very fast, and once more than 50% HP is smitten off, it will use turns to increase its AGL even further. Doing so will also count as boss stocking, ergo defending. If its IA is very high, I do not recommend attacking, as you will be blown to kingdom come by obscenely strong attack, which easily deals over 10000 damage. I don't know how many times or what governs Scarab to keep increasing own AGL, but at one point it will also cast Quick on itself. If Zebulun knows Annihilation, have it cast on Scarab to cancel it. Also be cautious of Scarab poisoning your mechs and casting Gravestone Bind, thus disabling your attacks (which is why I recommend that mech other than Zebulun has Charge Clean equipped). Once Quick effect wears off, Scarab's AGL returns to normal, but only until it starts to increase it again. To off Scarab without much problems, I advise using only Dinah to attack, while Zebulun either stocks or heals HP of whoever needs it. An alternate way to inflict as much damage as possible is: at start of battle move Dinah behind Scarab and with help of combo boosting empty your BG, with Zebulun casting Boost 1 as often as you can until Scarab's surprise wears off. At that point Scarab is likely to have around 25% of HP left, meaning it's easy pickings for your healthy mechs. ************************** VICTORY!

Cannot use Move command. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dullea Soul! It has weak zone at BCCC, and weak against pierce and ice. It has around 57600 HP. I use Jr for his Pierce attack, and Shion with her "Arc Angelic Requiem" to Jr. The last character is KOS-MOS for me because of her Smart Gatling and high HP. The gnosis is not that hard, but it has high evasion and Break Block, it does some damage per turn early in the battle. He won't attack at first, so use that chance to inflict as much damage as you can. Do switch to Jin and chaos sometimes for their Double "Hyoumonken" (Ice Brand) since the boss is weak against it. It did around 5000 damage for me. Soon the battle heats up a bit, the enemy uses an all party attack that causes 400 damage to all. If you have Medica or Medica 2, do heal. For full party heal, use combination ether on Medica or Medica 2. I took care of it pretty much, it was under 15 minutes. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - My recommended party is KOS-MOS, Jr and MOMO. Equipped skills: Flame Coat (or Blade Coat), Combo Boost, ST Resist 30 and Last Revenge. Regarding special HP counts which when crossed trigger sth, this info is available: - 34560 HP, at which point boss will give you a clue for one of later puzzles Battle starts, so begin by stocking until SG is at 3 for all combatants. Ensure that BG is at 3 as well. Then cast either Safety Level or Best Ally on all combatants. We've taken care of ourselves, now let's destroy Dullea's Break Block. You can do so by launching 12 piercing attacks against it and you will receive a notice of Break Block being destroyed. Proceed by Ice Sword on all, as well as Attacker on KOS-MOS and Jr, and Ether Spear on MOMO. Preparations are done - if you're lacking HP, recover yourself. Start the chain by having Jr move first - do BC, then boost KOS-MOS and do CC, followed by Circle all the way - Break initiated and boss Aired - boost Jr at this moment, empty his stock, then follow up with MOMO, emptying her stock as well. Watch that AC Ice chain grow, too! Damage done will be phenomenal. Dullea is likely not defeated yet, but its HP will be below 34560 HP, which is a trigger for Dullea skipping next six turns to inform you of a puzzle ahead. Use this free turns to stock, fill your BG, Ice Sword everyone and hack Dullea away the same way you did few minutes ago. This time Dullea is defeated and you didn't see much of its attacks. Way to go! If you'll lag, Dullea will become more dangerous. After it turns into Gnosis completely, Bone Crushing Gale, Madness and Ignite are available to Dullea. Fear if three Madness moves are used one after another - Ignite following up next will do great damage to all chrs. Unless you have Safety Level or Best Ally on, you're done for. Or saved once by Last Revenge, which will leave you at 1 HP and with full SG. Use the second chance you're given and smoke Dullea's ass for good. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Here's a quick way of kicking its ass with Erde Kaiser Fury: Your party consists of Shion, and whatever two chrs (just make sure they can break the boss). Shion has EP Half, EATK+2, Double Power, Combo Boost skills equipped. If Ether Burst is available, switch with Double Power. Before you initiate a Break on the boss, cast Ether Spear and corresponding Sword ether on Shion. Use other two chrs to initiate a Break on the boss and Air or Down it, then build AC chain to around 10 or so. When other two chrs' SG is empty, make sure one boost remains left for Shion - boost her, then release Erde Kaiser Fury on "critical" or "Ether effect up" ESL. If current ESL isn't the one you need, thanks to Combo Boost skill you equipped you can have Shion cast Boost 1 and then boost herself until needed ESL comes up. Since "Ether effect up" is rare, I suggest shooting for "critical" ESL. Damage done will range somewhere from 50000 and upwards. ************************** VICTORY!

You will be fighting Nepos Rigas. It has 59000 HP with weak zone at CBCC and weak against Ether, B and Aura. I use KOS-MOS, Shion and chaos. The battle starts off with it attacking around 400 damage per turn. Just heal and attack. If you have the time and EP, use 'Safety Level' or 'Best Ally' for later uses. Soon he will cast a wall for frontal damage and it will have Break Block for most of the time. Keep damaging it and the wall will be gone in a while. He will soon cast it again. Continue to attack it til its HP drops further more. When its HP is less than 10000, it will uses a move and hints out what it does in messages. Basically, ANYONE that attacks it will die. So sacrifice the one that you less need to attack for now. Then quickly revive him or her after the turn. If you have "Best Ally" or "Safety Level" on, you can prevent from dying. He will be in this mode for sometimes. So do prepare to revive a lot. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - My recommended party is KOS-MOS, Jin and MOMO. Equipped skills: Rebound, Spear Coat, Flame Coat, Combo Boost (or Last Revenge). Regarding special HP counts which when crossed trigger sth, this info is available: - 44250 HP, at which point boss gains access to Embrace and Quick - 29500 HP, at which point boss will cast Unbreakable Block (smash it by using two beam attacks from KOS-MOS' arsenal), and gains access to Ragnarok - 7080 HP, at which point boss will call you out for a duel Battle starts, so begin by stocking until SG is at 3 for all combatants. Ensure that BG is at 3 as well. Then cast either Safety Level or Best Ally on all combatants. Proceed by Aura Sword on all, as well as Attacker on KOS-MOS and Jin, and Ether Spear on MOMO. Preparations are done - if you're lacking HP, recover yourself. Start the chain by having Jin move first - do CB, then boost KOS-MOS and do CC, followed by Circle all the way - Break initiated and boss Aired - boost Jin at this moment, empty his stock, then follow up with MOMO, emptying her stock as well. Watch that AC Aura chain grow, too! Damage done will be phenomenal. Nepos is likely not defeated yet, but its HP will likely be below 29500 HP, which is a trigger for Nepos to cast Unbreakable Block, which grants Break Block. Smash it with two beam attacks from KOS-MOS Special command. Once the Block is gone, Nepos may recast it on subsequent turns. Not only that, Nepos will use Embrace for huge damage (also likely to be used once Nepos "wakes" up after being comboed). If it casts Quick, use Annihilation on Nepos to cancel it. Beware of Memory of Time - memorize the ESL it was used on. When Phobos reaches next turn on this ESL, you'll be hammered with Ragnarok. Once again, stock, recover your own BG, Aura Sword on everyone, Attacker and Ether Spear as needed and blast away! Nepos falls, and you win. If by small chance you still don't own it, and Nepos' HP is below 7080, it'll call you to a smash-fest. Each time you attack it, Nepos will cboost and use a very strong Embrace for 8000 dmg. Nothing Revert couldn't fix... Nepos will also skip all next turns until it bites the dust. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Here's a quick way of kicking its ass with Erde Kaiser Fury: Your party consists of Shion, and whatever two chrs (just make sure they can break the boss). Shion has EP Half, EATK+2, Double Power, Combo Boost skills equipped. If Ether Burst is available, switch with Double Power. Before you initiate a Break on the boss, cast Ether Spear and corresponding Sword ether on Shion. Use other two chrs to initiate a Break on the boss and Air or Down it, then build AC chain to around 10 or so. When other two chrs' SG is empty, make sure one boost remains left for Shion - boost her, then release Erde Kaiser Fury on "critical" or "Ether effect up" ESL. If current ESL isn't the one you need, thanks to Combo Boost skill you equipped you can have Shion cast Boost 1 and then boost herself until needed ESL comes up. Since "Ether effect up" is rare, I suggest shooting for "critical" ESL. Damage done will range somewhere from 50000 and upwards. ************************** VICTORY!

Cannot use Move command. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - From now on, I will call it DEK. DEK has 192000 HP, and only weak against Ether. Its weak zone is AAAA. Also AIR effect is not possible, only DOWN. I use KOS-MOS, Ziggy and MOMO. Make sure they have the skills "Focus 1" and "Inner Peace". Also have them equip skills that reduce Slash and Hit attacks by 25%. Keep attacking it and heal if you need to. If DEK casts any support ether to itself, use the ether "Annihilation" to cancel. After a while, DEK will use Kaiser Shield. Keep attacking it til it breaks or simply use your own Erde Kaiser. You could try using the ether Flame Sword on KOS-MOS and MOMO. With Ziggy, you could try to link up as many as AC Fire as you can. You could do around AC Fire 15 which does pretty good damage. Continue to heal and attack, after a long time, you will eventually beat DEK. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - My recommended party is KOS-MOS (or Jr), Ziggy and MOMO. Equipped skills: Rebound, Spear Coat, Flame Coat, Combo Boost. Regarding special HP counts which when crossed trigger sth, this info is available: - 153600 HP, at which DEK will cast either Flame Veil or Aura Veil and gains access to Quick and Chaos Flame - 134400 HP, at which point DEK will use Dark Wave - 124800 HP, at which point DEK will use Kaiser Shield - 57600 HP, at which point DEK will use Dark Wave DO NOT CAST ERDE KAISER FURY YET! Battle starts, so begin by stocking until SG is at 3 for all combatants. Ensure that BG is at 3 as well (if you have any Boost Max items left, use two to extend your BG to 5). Then cast either Safety Level or Best Ally on all combatants. Partial preps are done, now let's see what DEK can use... At the start it will cast Lost Mist, which is the only time I saw it used. On next turns you will be seeing lots of Knuckles, Shadow Binds, and Cyclones. DEK's repertoire slowly expands - at 153600 HP Aura Veil or Flame Veil is cast, as well as accessing Quick and Chaos Flame, at 134400 HP it will cast Dark Wave, at 124800 Kaiser Shield is used, and finally at 75600 HP Dark Wave once again. Well, make sure you've cleared away any L or H statuses, then proceed by Flame Sword on all combatants, as well as Attacker on KOS-MOS and Ziggy, and Ether Spear on MOMO. Preparations are done - if you're lacking HP, recover yourself. This will be a long battle, so stay tuned in. Start the chain by having MOMO use Circle twice - this will do AA - then boost MOMO again and use Circle twice again - this will do AA and initiate a Break! Boost Ziggy now, followed by Circle all the way - you will now Down DEK as well. Boost KOS-MOS next empty her stock, then boost MOMO and empty hers as well. Watch that AC Fire chain grow, too! Damage done will be phenomenal. Keep doing this combo until either of the Veils is cast. Ignore the bonus DEK gained and keep doing this combo still. Kaiser Shield is used - you can break it in two ways. Either you summon Erde Kaiser Fury for insta-break or you use five double techs (Blessed Miracle and Burst Veil don't count). Once Kaiser Shield is gone, DEK gains huge weakness to every attack attribute! Killing it now is merely question of time and two, maybe three combo chains you've been practicing until now. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Karioth has sent following tip: The trick is to wait until it uses its Kaiser Shield, when this happens, use your EKF, and it will break the shield. This initiates its weakness to all attack types. Also its shield will not regenerate! If you use your EKF too early, he will say something like 'Fool, your impatience will be your end!'. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Cain27 has sent following strategy: I thought the best party was Shion, MOMO (they can hit A zone) and Ziggy or chaos, since they can Down the enemy. This boss is weak against ether attacks, so using ether spear on your Shion and MOMO is a good idea. Max out your chrs' stock at the beginning. On Shion's turn boost MOMO (or on MOMO's turn boost Shion). Press Circle twice then cancel, next it's the other female's turn, boost Ziggy or chaos this turn (depends who you took to battle) attack with MOMO two more times to break the boss' defense, now your male character can Down the enemy, boost Shion or MOMO during this turn. After DEK is down, empty your boosted character's stock on this turn, boost your other female during this turn and let her empty her stock on Kaiser as well. Once it was down to around 140000 HP it casts Flame Veil, this made it weak against ice. If it's not Flame Veil, it'll use Aura Veil (in this case it becomes weak to thunder). Use Sword ethers to change chrs' attributes to ice/thunder based (depending on veil cast). Later in the battle Kaiser uses a defense shield, smash through it with Shion's EKF. After you break the shield the boss becomes weak to every attack attribute, so the rest of the fight is easy from there. ************************** VICTORY!

Its weak zone is CBCB. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - My recommended party is KOS-MOS, Jr (but start with Shion!) and MOMO. Equipped skills: Rebound, Combo Boost, Spear Coat, Overload. Battle begins, Mad copies stats of your highest leveled chr in starting party - I hope Shion is your highest leveled chr. Begin by switching Shion out for Jr, then stocking until SG is at 3 for all combatants. Ensure that BG is at 3 as well Then cast either Safety Level or Best Ally on all combatants. Partial preps are done, now let's see what Mad can use... At the start it will use Stigma on chrs one by one. Then it will start shooting Inescapable Arrows in this order: - Shot 1 on Stigmad chr to inflict L Resistance Down - Shot 2 on chr with L Resist Down to inflict L Weak - Shot 3 on chr with L Weak to inflict L Slow - Shot 3 on chr with L Weak to inflict H Stop - Final on chr with H Stop to kill it and recover HP = chr's MAX HP - 1 If you recover L statuses frequently, you won't have problems until somewhere in middle of battle. At this time The Curse of Zero will be cast - besides affecting you with L Poison it also signifies coming of Pandora's Gate, very strong ether move. Keep your HP up at all times. Well, make sure you've cleared away any L statuses, then proceed by Flame Sword on all combatants, as well as Attacker on KOS-MOS and Jr, and Ether Spear on MOMO. Preparations are done - if you're lacking HP, recover yourself. Start the chain by having Jr use CB, then boost KOS-MOS and use CB as well, followed by Circle all the way - this will initiate a Break and Air the boss as well! Boost MOMO now and empty her stock, followed by boosting Jr next and emptying his stock as well. Watch that AC Fire chain grow, too! Damage done will be phenomenal. If Mad hasn't fallen yet, repeat the exercise and kill it for good now. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Here's a quick way of kicking its ass with Erde Kaiser Fury: Your party consists of Shion, and whatever two chrs (just make sure they can break the boss). Shion has EP Half, EATK+2, Double Power, Combo Boost skills equipped. If Ether Burst is available, switch with Double Power. Before you initiate a Break on the boss, cast Ether Spear and corresponding Sword ether on Shion. Use other two chrs to initiate a Break on the boss and Air or Down it, then build AC chain to around 10 or so. When other two chrs' SG is empty, make sure one boost remains left for Shion - boost her, then release Erde Kaiser Fury on "critical" or "Ether effect up" ESL. If current ESL isn't the one you need, thanks to Combo Boost skill you equipped you can have Shion cast Boost 1 and then boost herself until needed ESL comes up. Since "Ether effect up" is rare, I suggest shooting for "critical" ESL. Damage done will range somewhere from 50000 and upwards. ************************** VICTORY!

Cannot use Move command. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - My recommended party is Jin, KOS-MOS and MOMO. Equipped skills: EP Half, ST Resist 30, Combo Boost, Rebound. If you have Ether Burst learned, have MOMO equip it instead of ST Resist 30 - Ether Burst doubles MOMO's attack. Helpful mastered skills: Inner Peace, Focus 1, Focus 2. If you're still paying off Matthews' debt, here's a 1 million G for you: steal both EMAX300 and Auto Recover, then sell 'em. It is advisable that you come into this battle with BG of 3. It helps a lot if you don't need to waste turns by refilling your BG. Because some of Phobos' attacks ignore target's evasion, you'll be spending a lot of time healing. Once you enter the battle with Jin, MOMO and KOS-MOS, first thing you should do is cast Best Ally on all combatants. Now start stocking until SG is 3 for all of them - doing so will also replenish EP for recasting of Best Ally when needed. Phobos will be pestering you with Single Shots for a while until its weapon jams. Then pay attention to what kind of magazine will be loaded next! Misery and Sorrow series are quite strong. You cannot evade Misery series, but Sorrow can be - so react accordingly. If you're affected by L type statuses, shrug it off until you're ready for launching a chained assault (remove L Slow, though). If one of chrs gets smacked down, take heed to recast Best Ally ASAP. Phobos will always cboost if it evades your attack. If it's Woe magazine, stocking is recommended! Woe magazine contains two Rotting Flesh shots, which drains 50% of hit chr's MAX HP and adds it to Phobos' HP (Woe magazine is likely used when Phobos loses around 33% MAX HP). Unfortunately it cannot be evaded, but if you stock, it is possible to halve the HP drained. Phobos has weakness to beam, aura and slash attacks, as well as taking extra damage from ether attacks. MOMO fills the slot for ether weakness, while Jin and KOS-MOS take care of slash attacks. You'll apply Aura Sword for aura weakness. And to ensure Phobos won't funnily cboost, we'll Air it. Very soon after battle starts Phobos will begin using Buried Alive for huge damage to one chr (when HP is under 50000). It can very well KO MOMO in one hit, but this is why we put Best Ally on. If Phobos has boosts left, there is high probability of Phobos combo boosting and following up with additional Buried Alive attacks, or using remaining shots of the magazine currently loaded. After losing about 15% of HP, Phobos will begin raising own Fear level. For each level one of following events will happen: Frenzy - Break Block & Ice Veil, Panic - AGL+25% and bonus to AGL, Horror - Ether Spear and bonus to STR, Terror - Safety Level and bonus to DEX. I dunno what's it gonna do with Ice Veil, but other bonuses it gains need to be dealt with swiftly. For Safety Level and AGL+25% launch Annihilation against Phobos to clear them off - surely you don't wanna kill Phobos, only to have it remain on 1 HP and smash you to bits? Break Block is a nuisance, esp if used at first Fear level. How often Phobos will raise Fear level, I don't know; nor can I tell you what affects which bonus Phobos will gain. What I know can help you is this: have one or two chrs stock, while MOMO keeps shooting at Phobos. Remember to heal lost HP and keep recasting Best Ally if needed. Pay attention to Woe magazine, if it's loaded - stock! If it drains 50% MAX HP, tough luck - just grit your teeth and carry on. Once maximum Fear level is reached, it's party time. Phobos gets affected by L Stun and will not attack you. L Stun has 50% chance of being removed when damage is affected - and if we don't attack Phobos, L Stun stays. Understood? So, what better chance then to commence chain assault? Stock, refill your BG if needed, heal any lost HP and EP, then cast Attacker on Jin and KOS-MOS, Ether Spear on MOMO, and Aura Sword on everyone. Once preps are done, do the following: - it's Jin's turn - Boost Jin thanks to Combo Boost (BG drops to 2) - Jin attacks with Triangle and Square to perform CB, then it's Jin's turn - Boost KOS-MOS (BG drops to 1), then have Jin attack with Square, Triangle to perform BC (Break initialized!), and follow up with Circle, Circle, Circle (this will launch Phobos into Air and start AC Aura chain) - Jr empties his stock by four presses of Circle; during attack animation make sure to Boost MOMO (attacks KOS-MOS and Jin performed earlier will recover enough of your BG in order to give you the last boost you need) - MOMO empties her stock by four presses of Circle (Ether Burst, Ether Spear, Aura Sword, and a nice AC Aura x09 chain will give MOMO a humongous damage bonus; expect to see something like 3000 damage per hit) - if any extra boosts become available or are still left, do NOT use them; spare them for next chained assault Now Phobos' HP is lingering somewhere around 20000. L Stun it was affected with is almost surely gone. It will now use Soothing Words to recover 1500 HP (big deal), and its stats will return to normal. Several new moves become available to Phobos - darn. To begin with, Frenzy will make you mad - what it does is add Break Block to Phobos, and it's only gone when Fear level reaches maximum - great (very great if used at Fear level 1). The other move is Memory ot Time (Phobos loves to use it on CTC ESL) - what it does is prompt Phobos to use Immolation on next turn Phobos reaches on ESL it memorized when Memory of Time was used. You better hope you have the HP to survive - if possible, try extending Flame Wall ether combo, otherwise Best Ally will save you. As the battle continues, you'll be seeing lots of Buried Alive. Don't forget to cast Annihilation on regular basis to cancel Phobos' bonuses, or you'll get yourself stumped at obnoxious damage Phobos will be dishing out. There is one final move Phobos has, and it's used when Phobos has less than 10% HP remaining. This is Rapid Fire and I really don't recommend you let Phobos live long enough to use it on you. What it does is: Phobos will cboost on its turn, check the magazine loaded and empty the contents into your party until it's either empty or the gun jams (depending on magazine loaded). Aside from you not being able to intervene in any way, damage done by Rapid Fire shots will keep increasing. So to recap: at start of battle stock, fill your BG, Aura sword, first chained assault, Phobos around 20000 HP, stand your ground until Phobos reaches maximum Fear level, recover completely, restock, refill your BG, Aura Sword and Attacker/Ether Spear appropriately, second chained assault, Phobos dies. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Cory S. Has submitted following strategy: First off, it has a weakness to Aura, so chaos is an easy pick, since his attack is Aura based. I used Jr and MOMO for the other 2, simply because I had learned the most skills with them and use them for most of my fights anyway. They worked fine. The start is simple. Simply stock up to full, cast Aura Sword on Jr and MOMO, and then hack away. The break is CBBC. Start with Jr, and do a CB attack, then boost chaos and do another BC attack and empty his stocks to down it, then boost Jr and MOMO to attack. With the Aura Swords on them, the damage chain should be huge and take away at least 15K of its 55555 HP. At the start of the battle, the boss will generally only use relatively weak piercing attacks and Buried Alive attack, which can kill MOMO easily, so have either lots of Revives, or Ether Packs to use Revert effectively. When it gets to like 30 or 35K HP, he will start to 'fear'. Basically, here's how it works - when his fear counter goes up, he increases one of his attributes, either speed, attack, dexterity, or puts up a Break Block (usually he does this first). He will also use the devastating attack Immolation, which is pretty much an instant death to the party. The only way I was able to avoid it was with the skill Inner Peace, which improves evading attacks after stocking. He gives you a one-turn warning when he will use this attack, so stock with everyone after the warning and you should evade. When his fear counter gets higher, he gets really annoying. He will use Buried Alive several times in a row while boosting, and use Immolation as well, so it doesn't hurt to be lucky. Be sure to have Combo Boost equipped on all characters so you can do a desperate heal if you need to. His fear counter goes up by one every few turns. A few turns after it reaches 5, it will say "Fear - Maximum. He is overwhelmed! Frenzy has worn off!". That's your cue to stock up and prepare for the next assault. After his L Stun wears off as a result of one of your hits, he will turn back to normal and heal himself for 1500 HP (which isn't much). Re-cast Aura Sword on everyone and start the assault again, because he only waits about a turn or 2 before restarting the counter, and if he uses Break Block first, you will have to wait and survive another round of his Fear before getting another chance to attack. Also, at the beginning of the battle (you wont be able to spare a turn near the end), be sure to steal Auto Recover and EMAX300 from it. They're great accessories for your gears, or they sell for the same price as Awakenings if you're still repaying Matthews' debt. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Here's a quick way of kicking its ass with Erde Kaiser Fury: Your party consists of Shion, and whatever two chrs (just make sure they can break the boss). Shion has EP Half, EATK+2, Double Power, Combo Boost skills equipped. If Ether Burst is available, switch with Double Power. Before you initiate a Break on the boss, cast Ether Spear and corresponding Sword ether on Shion. Use other two chrs to initiate a Break on the boss and Air or Down it, then build AC chain to around 10 or so. When other two chrs' SG is empty, make sure one boost remains left for Shion - boost her, then release Erde Kaiser Fury on "critical" or "Ether effect up" ESL. If current ESL isn't the one you need, thanks to Combo Boost skill you equipped you can have Shion cast Boost 1 and then boost herself until needed ESL comes up. Since "Ether effect up" is rare, I suggest shooting for "critical" ESL. Damage done will range somewhere from 50000 and upwards. ************************** VICTORY!

Heca and Hedge deal about 800 dmg to one chr, Wrath 800 dmg to chrs hit, Kaitos 1200 dmg to one, Aqua 3500+ dmg to one. Casts Baal's Curse when below 70000 HP. Starts boosting when below 70000 HP. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - My recommended party is Jin (!!!), Jr and MOMO. Equipped skills: EP Half, ST Resist 30, Combo Boost, Rebound. If you have Ether Burst learned, have MOMO equip it instead of ST Resist 30 - Ether Burst doubles MOMO's attack. Helpful mastered skills: Inner Peace, Focus 1, Focus 2. If you're still paying off Matthews' debt, here's a 1 million G for you: steal both EMAX300 and Auto Recover, then sell 'em. It is advisable that you come into this battle with BG of 3. It helps a lot if you don't need to waste turns by refilling your BG. Because all of Baal's attacks ignore target's defenses and damage dealt is quite big, you'll be spending a lot of time healing. But let's take it one step at a time. Once you enter the battle with Jin, MOMO and Jr, first thing you should do is cast Best Ally on all combatants. Now start stocking until SG is 3 for all of them - doing so will also replenish EP for recasting of Best Ally when needed. If Baal amasses its bile sometime inbetween and targets a chr, have that chr move away to another spot! Damage dealt from Aqua Regia is over 3500 and there's no way you're gonna survive that - and wasting a Best Ally over the attack which can be completely avoided is useless. If you're affected by H Bind, wait until Baal spews his bile to give you ample time to remove it. If one of chrs gets smacked down, take heed to recast Best Ally ASAP. Also know that Baal won't boost until its HP meets 70000 HP range. And last, but not least, all attacks can be evaded (for Aqua Regia you need to move to another spot, though). Baal has weakness to pierce, hit and ice attacks. Both Jr and MOMO have attacks with piercing property, while Jin's are of slash type. Whatever you do, Jr and MOMO do *NOT* attack Baal at all! The only chr that will do the attacking is Jin! Jin only! Once again, Jin only! The reason for this? After being struck with pierce (Jr, MOMO) or hit (Ziggy, chaos, KOS-MOS) attacks several times, Baal has nasty tendeny of cboosting such attacks. Baal, however, does not cboost slash attacks, and that's why Jin is a great choice for breaking Baal, and sending it in Air for some major damage. Sending Baal in the Air is another tough cookie to break - Baal begins the battle with Break Block, which is temporarily gone after Baal takes a couple of piercing or hit attacks - you're notified of Break Block being gone with message "He is furious and relaxes his defense." Two bad things about this is that you have to take a hit from Baal and Break Block will soon be restored. Attacking Baal's backside bypasses Break Block altogether, and this is how we're gonna Break Baal. So, we're stocked to full, under Best Ally, and BG is at 3 (if you have some Boost Max items left, this is one of battles where it may be a nice idea to use two of them to raise BG to 5)... time to start reducing Baal's HP. Keep stocking (and healing, of course) until Baal amasses its bile - this will be your cue! Start by casting Ice Sword on Jr, Jin and MOMO (throw in Ether Spear for her for good measure). Once preparations are done, do the following: - it's Jr's or MOMO's turn - Boost Jin (BG drops to 2) - MOMO or Jr casts Boost 1 (BG raised to 3), then it's Jin's turn - Boost Jin again (thanks to Combo Boost), then *move* Jin behind Baal's back (BG drops to 2), then it's Jin's turn - Boost Jin again (BG drops to 1), and attack Baal with Square, Triangle to perform BC, then it's Jin's turn - Boost Jr (BG drops to 0), then attack Baal with Square, Triangle to perform BC (Break initialized!), followed by pressing Circle, Circle, Circle (this will launch Baal into Air and start AC Ice chain) - Jr empties his stock by four presses of Circle; during attack animation make sure to Boost MOMO (attacks Jr and Jin performed earlier will recover enough of your BG in order to give you the last boost you need) - MOMO empties her stock by four presses of Circle (Ether Burst, Ether Spear, Ice Sword, and a nice AC Ice x09 chain will give MOMO a humongous damage bonus; expect to see something like 5000 damage per hit) - if any extra boosts become available or are still left, do NOT use them; spare them for next chained assault Are you wondering why we don't Down Baal instead? That is not recommended, because Downed enemies can still cboost your attacks, and Baal is no exception. On the other hand, Aired enemies cannot cboost at all. OK, we did our first assault on Baal's ass, which launched its HP somewhere below 70000 HP. At this point Baal gains access to Baal's Curse, which temporarily seals Move command, disabling you to move away from Aqua Regia. The quickest cure for this 'disease' is to cast Annihilation on Baal - seal will be removed, and you're a happy camper again. Or you could wait it out and at the same time be exposed to Aqua Regia, but I don't recommend that. Baal will also start boosting now, so you will have to be more careful in planning the assault now. Repeat the stocking process, removing possible H Bind (wait until Baal spews its bile) and healing HP. If Baal's Curse is used, counter immediately with Annihilation! You *must* be able to move. If your BG isn't at 3, you'll need to apply some Boost 1 castings (don't forget about Ice Sword), or time the start of your assault in such a way that Jin airs Baal on BST ESL. Don't forget to move *behind* Baal to initiate Break! After second assault is launched, Baal's HP will be below 40000 HP. At this point Break Block is gone permanently and Baal uses Cycle of Destruction (allows Baal to change Break sequence later in the battle). Like Orgulla before, Baal sacrifices own HP with "God of Dung" to increase its BG; this is also a charge move for "Price of Gluttony", which is infact Aqua Regia three times in a row! Unlike regular Aqua Regia, Baal targets three random spots out of six possible on the battlefield. Memorize targeted locations and move any chrs that are on those spots to a safe location (don't forget to cast Annihilation if Baal's Curse is in effect!). Randomly Baal smokes 500 of own HP to change its Break to either CCCC or BBBB (the change isn't permanent, though - Baal can and will switch freely between possible three Break zones). This also increases some stats for duration of the change, but don't worry about them - as long as you keep your cool, damage done to you will be minimal or nonexistant. Again, restock, refill your BG, Ice Sword on everyone (plus Ether Spear on MOMO), start the third and final assault chain with Jin (his location doesn't matter anymore, as Break Block is gone). Wave Baal bye-bye and see you next time. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Cory S. Has submitted following strategy: First off, he has a weakness to ice. Since no character's attack is ice-based, you're free to choose your party. I used Jr, MOMO, and KOS-MOS, since you can use Ice sword on all of them and do great damage. To continue, move one character to the opposite side of it, so the large Baal's Wrath only hits 1 or 2 characters instead of everybody. Soon, it will say "...is amassing his bile". The next turn, it will show a close up of one character and say "...has spewed his bile." or something like that. On his next turn, the bile will fall on that character and pretty much kill it (it does over 3000 damage, so maybe Ziggy could survive, but I didn't use him, since his attacks are fire-based). So basically, after he releases the bile into the air, either boost the character that was targeted or wait for his/her turn if you're feeling risky and move to a different spot on the battlefield (preferably on the same side). The bile will fall on blank space. The boss starts with a break block. After a few attacks it will say "He is furious and relaxes his defenses." That makes the break block go away. A turn or 2 later, it will say "He focuses and hardens his defense!" You guessed it, the break block is back, so the window of opportunity is narrow. Stock up, cast ice sword on everyone, and start with Jr. The break is BCBC, so have Jr do a BC, boost KOS-MOS and do another BC and empty her stock to Air it, then boost Jr and MOMO to empty their stock. Keep boosting until you can boost no more. A good break assault with an Ice chain could do as much as 20K damage. You can repeat this several times, as the boss' attacks don't change for a while. I don't recall the exact number, but I think it was when the boss reached around 40K HP left, when it started some new stuff. First, it will say something about Baal's eyes turning green or pitch black. That's a heads-up that its break has changed. Look at the boss info box to see the new break. Also, he will do a thing called Baal's Curse (it says "You cannot move until the time of annihilation!"). Get rid of the curse either by waiting it out (in this case Baal hurts himself as well), or casting Annihilation ether on Baal. When it gets to around 20K HP, it will prepare for a major strike. First Baal will sacrifice own HP to raise Boost count. Then, he will amass his bile and target three random spots on the battlefield. You have one turn to get out of the way, or your party will be obliterated, so boost whoever was targeted and move to a different spot quickly. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Here's a quick way of kicking its ass with Erde Kaiser Fury: Your party consists of Shion, and whatever two chrs (just make sure they can break the boss). Shion has EP Half, EATK+2, Double Power, Combo Boost skills equipped. If Ether Burst is available, switch with Double Power. Before you initiate a Break on the boss, cast Ether Spear and corresponding Sword ether on Shion. Use other two chrs to initiate a Break on the boss and Air or Down it, then build AC chain to around 10 or so. When other two chrs' SG is empty, make sure one boost remains left for Shion - boost her, then release Erde Kaiser Fury on "critical" or "Ether effect up" ESL. If current ESL isn't the one you need, thanks to Combo Boost skill you equipped you can have Shion cast Boost 1 and then boost herself until needed ESL comes up. Since "Ether effect up" is rare, I suggest shooting for "critical" ESL. Damage done will range somewhere from 50000 and upwards. ************************** VICTORY!

Zebulun with MOMO (Combo Boost, EP Regen, Rebound, EP Half) & Ziggy equipment: Auto Recover, Tuned Circuit, G ST Double Asher with Jr (Combo Boost, ST Resist 20, ST Resist 30, Rebound) & Jin equipment: Charge Clean, Tuned Circuit, Charge Recover If you don't have Tuned Circuits, replace with Power Shields or EF Circuits. Before first parameter improvement Mike uses 2-3 offensive moves in Creeping mode, before switching to Pure mode. Between first and second parameter improvement Mike uses 3-6 offensive moves in Creeping mode, before switching to Pure mode. Between second and third parameter improvement Mike uses six offensive moves in Creeping mode, before switching to Pure mode. Pure mode ends after four of Mike's turns (not counting cboosts), or if you attack it. After third parameter change Pure mode is no longer entered. Also, always try to maintain three boosts in your BG. Boss gains upgrades like this (I tested it in several battles): a) 1st parameter change: below 120000 HP or after six (6th) Pure modes have ended without Mike crossing mentioned HP barrier b) 2nd parameter change: below 60000 HP or after four (10th) Pure modes have ended without Mike crossing mentioned HP barrier c) 3rd parameter change: below 30000 HP or after four (14th) Pure modes have ended without Mike crossing mentioned HP barrier If you're still paying off Matthews' debt, here's a 1 million G for you: steal both EMAX300 and Auto Recover, then sell 'em. This is a hard battle, but not the one that cannot be won without some strategy. The basic gist of this battle is to guard against Mike's attacks during Creeping mode, and heal your wounds during Pure mode. As Pure mode lasts for 4 Mike's turns, we're gonna launch Wings of Light just before it ends. Wings of Light easily deals somewhere between 15000-20000 dmg, and Zebulun is going to help a little as well. BTW, you cannot prolong this battle forever - Mike usually powers up at specific intervals which I explained two paragraphs above. You will be using Asher only to do the attacking, while Zebulun will supply boosts or HP recovery. Let the battle commence. Immediately you'll be smashed with Creeping in the Dark for about 12000 dmg to both mechs (hope it won't be CTC ESL). If Zebulun is KOed at this point, reset the battle - we'll need that Auto Recover saving later in the battle. Asher can take the punishment easily and stand its ground until first Pure mode. You need to sustain damage for 2-3 turns, at which point Mike switches into Pure mode. Until it does so, however, have Asher stock and Zebulun heal. When first Pure mode is entered, place Asher behind Mike ASAP. Even though Mike counts as mech, DO NOT USE BREAK ETHERS ON IT. It will end Pure mode immediately. You must use Down ethers on it! Down ethers only. When you do, Mike will boost (if it has some available) and use one of the following: Rebirth for 9600 HP recovery to both mechs, Healing Waters for 8000 HP recovery to one mech, or Holy Water to clear off status changes for one mech. Except for Holy Water you cannot predict which of the two Mike's healing moves will be used. If Mike can't boost, it will use the appropriate move on next regular turn it gets. While in Pure mode, have Zebulun cast Quick on itself first to get more turns; or in case you have used any boosts, cast Boost 1 to refill the gauge. Because of G ST Double acc, effect will last for ten turns. Cast Down ethers until both mechs are healed (or have Zebulun heal itself or Asher). Don't attack Mike yet! After Mike reaches third turn or when you're notified of Mike changing into Creeping mode, use Asher' Wings of Light and Zebulun's Power Kick - I recommend you launch them after third turn Mike reaches. Note: don't take too long into making a decision over what will be your next move, as doing so triggers Mike to power up and you don't want that. When Creeping mode is entered, repeat what you were doing from start of battle by having both mechs stock until next Pure mode. To speed up the killing process, you can try this: after Asher charges 200 EC and it has a turn, have Asher boost itself. Now use Wings of Light; in case Mike cboosts and uses a powerup, it doesn't matter, as Asher will still have next turn, on which you will stock. Mike loves to turn against Asher, and that's what we want - to have Mike use most of its attacks against Asher, while leaving Zebulun alone so it can react accordingly - if you had Asher attack in a fashion mention in above paragraph, cast Boost 1 or heal whoever needs healing. Have Zebulun do whatever you wish, just don't attack Mike - you don't want to have Mike go postal on Zebulun. Mike's attacks which cannot be evaded are: Good Deed, Ill Words, Between Heaven and Earth, Purge Filth. Everything else can be avoided, including deadly Creeping in the Dark. Once Mike triggers next Pure mode, Asher and Zebulun will have 200 EC. As next Pure mode is entered, again repeat the cycle. Zebulun Quick on self, then Down ethers on Mike to have it heal your mechs, or Boost 1. Asher still stocks, and doesn't attack. When notified of Pure mode ending, Asher uses Wings of Light. Continue until Mike's first powerup is used (below 120000 HP). Attacks it gained are Purge Filth and Between Heaven and Earth. Both carry nasty statuses: L Slow and L Charge Down, but since we have Charge Clean acc on Asher, this is of no worries. Unfortunately both attacks cannot be evaded, and if guarded, damage done will be somewhere around 6000. Mike also uses Resentment or Vengeance, but these two can be avoided and if Asher cboosts successfully, you gain a free healing turn thanks to Charge Recover. It will take several more of Mike's attacks before it reverts into Pure mode, but because it will concentrate on Asher (unless it uses one of its hit-all attacks), Zebulun will be able to recover any excess loss of HP Asher sustained. During Pure modes entered from now on Mike will end it immediately if it's attacked. When Mike's below 60000 HP and second powerup is used, Mike tends to be using Ill Words, Good Deed and Creeping in the Dark more frequently, so employing Zebulun with Medica 2 (or Medica 2 ether combo) may be necessary. You'll need to stand ground thru six turns of hell, however, all it takes are mere 3-4 Wings of Light to bust Mike's ass for good. If possible, try augmenting Mike's HP so that it doesn't cross 30000 HP remaining (say around 35000 HP), which is the point of final powerup being used. After this point Mike no longer enters Pure mode and will attack you mercilessly. So, use Wings of Light for about 18000 dmg, pushing Mike on the brink of extinction. Don't use boosts you may have left! You may need them to have Zebulun cut it if Mike unexpectedly gains an upper hand. Once Mike's HP is decreased to the point where it cannot exist anymore, Mike says final farewell. And so do we to final challenge of Xenosaga: Episode II. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The following strategy was provided by Mandau: I just recently beat Mikumari and because I couldn't find any strategies on how to take them down, I'll just say what I did to kill it. My party consisted of Asher and Zebulun with Jr. and Jin in Asher and MOMO and Shion in Zebulun. Both E.S.es were at Lv. 64, but I had almost no trouble beating Mikumari with this method, so I'm sure it could be done at a lower level. E.S. equipment: Asher - Auto Recover (very useful) - Charge Recover (very useful) - Tuned Circuit (not necessary, but will speed up the battle a bit) Zebulun - Power Shield (not necessary) - Auto Recover (not necessary) - Anti-Fire Armor (not really necessary either) Jr.'s Equipped Skills - Combo Boost (not necessary) - ST Resist 20 - ST Resist 30 (both are useful) - CRTC + 5 (somewhat handy) MOMO's Equipped Skills - Combo Boost (very useful) - EP Half (very useful) - EP Regen (pretty useful) - ST Resist 30 (not necessary) Using this setup, I was having a lot of trouble getting through the last quarter of the battle ... until I remembered I could Move which made the battle so much easier. For one, with Asher behind Mikumari, you can be doing 20,000 damage per Wings of Light quite consistently. Also, Mikumari's 2 most devastating attacks - Between Heaven and Earth, and Purge Filth - will only hit one of your E.S. A lot of the setup for protecting Zebulun was totally unecessary because Mikumari tended to focus all of their efforts on Asher, however Combo Boost, EP Half, and EP Regen will come in handy throughout the course of the battle. Combo Boost is necessary for pulling of Double Medica 2 if you need to. EP Half and EP Regen will make sure you never run out of EP which is dangerous because of the lack of items. With EP Half on, Medica 2 and the Down and Break Ethers will only cost you 2 EP, which EP Regen will promptly recover, so you can do most of your work for free. Make sure to keep your Boost meter up at 3 as often as possible in case you need to suddenly react in any given situation. Boost 1 should now only cost you 4 EP, so use that whenever needed as you'll mostly be doing Specials anyway. Since Asher will most likely be taking most of the heat in this battle, Auto Recover is useful for situations where Zebulun's healing can't keep up. Having Mikumari turn on a lone Zebulun is deadly, so try to prevent it from happening. Charge Recover is useful as all Asher should be doing is Stocking and using Wings of Light. This will also make Zebulun's healing job easier. Make sure Jr. has the Inner Peace ability as well since his constant stocking will improve his evade to the point where Vengeance should almost never actually be able to hit him. The ST Resists are there to help protect against L Charge Down and L Slow, both of which will seriously cripple Asher. You can have Zebulun remove these statuses, but it's much more efficient to keep Zebulun healing. Basically, Asher should continually stock to 200, use Wings of Light and keep repeating this. Zebulun should keep using Medica 2 on Asher or Double Medica 2 if an attack manages to hit both Asher and Zebulun pretty badly. If there is ever a point where both E.S. are at full HP, the Boost Meter is full and you are not in need of any EP (which you may need to Stock to restore with the Focus 1 and/or 2 abilities), have Zebulun attack Mikumari with Triangle or use Starlight Arrow if you have enough stock. Mikumari shifts between two modes, Creeping Mode (the one with the hanya mask) and Pure Mode (the one with the happy woman mask). Creeping Mode is where Mikumari will unleash all of its attacks. During Pure Mode however, Mikumari will only talk and not take any aggressive action. During this time, using a Down Ether on it (as the game may or may not indicate) will result in Mikumari healing you. At first, it will cast Rebirth (heals 9,600 for both E.S.). Later on, if you have L statuses like Slow or Charge-Down, it will use Holy Water instead (Refresh L or Refresh H for 1 mech) until everyone's status is alright then it may proceed to use Rebirth. Later on in the battle, however, Mikumari will resort to casting Medica 2. Although it's highly probably Mikumari's Medica 2 will be stronger than Zebulun's, Mikumari doesn't always choose the best target to heal. It may choose to use Medica 2 on Zebulun even if it's at full health and Asher is practically at death's door, so for HP recovery you can depend on, use Zebulun from here on. ************************** VICTORY!

SKILLS - G2100 =============================================================================== =============================================================================== In this section you will find info on all 112* skills that you can toy around with in XS:E2. We'll list their names, what they do, their exact location in the Skill list, amount of CPTS needed to unlock the classes and SPTS to learn the skills themselves. For more detailed info on how to use Skill submenu please refer to section 9 (Main Menu). Skills marked like this are skills which are initially locked for learning - to unlock them you will need to find specific Secret Keys (found in chests, or received after completing GS campaigns). NOTE: There's one equippable skill which cannot be obtained via Skills submenu. That is [SWIMSUIT] skill - you must gain Swimsuits for Shion, MOMO, Jr, chaos and Jin by completing GS campaigns: No.07 for MOMO's and Jr's, No.32 for Jin's, No.25 for Shion's and chaos' (look into section 27 for more details). To get KOS-MOS' and Ziggy's swimsuits, you must have completed XSE1 and have saved the game after credits have rolled (refer to section 13 for more details). NOTE 1: There's four ether skills which cannot be obtained via Skills submenu. They are [ERDE BEAM], [ERDE QUAKE], [ERDE STORM] and [ERDE KAISER FURY]. For complete details on how to obtain them please look into section 30. NOTE 2: There are 17 chr skills, which when equipped on pilot of E.S, directly affect that E.S' performance in battle. The only chrs that you can do this with are MOMO, KOS-MOS and Jr (skills will NOT have effect if they're equipped on copilots of E.S!). Such skills are marked with [E.S]. NOTE 3: Miracle Star and Annihilation are two ether skills, which under normal circumstances deal non-elemental damage. However, if chr performing said ether skills is under Sword ether effect, Miracle Star and Annihilation also come under the effect of Sword ether, meaning you can use them in elemental chains. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- LEVEL 1 - Class A [-300 CPTS] TO ENTER - [+450 CPTS] WHEN CLEARED -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- MEDICA | Ether skill | One ally | 200 SPTS | 2 EP Effect: Recovers HP = [caster's EATK x 5]. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REFRESH L | Ether skill | One ally | 150 SPTS | 4 EP Effect: Nullifies L type status changes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- POISON GUARD | Auto skill | Self | 100 SPTS Effect: User's resistance to being affected by poison status (lose HP each turn) is raised by 25%. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BLIND GUARD | Auto skill | Self | 100 SPTS Effect: User's resistance to being affected by black status (lowers DEX and EVA) is raised by 25%. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- LEVEL 1 - Class B [-300 CPTS] TO ENTER - [+450 CPTS] WHEN CLEARED -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ATTACKER | Ether skill | Self | 200 SPTS | 4 EP Effect: STR/POW up 25%, VIT/ARM down 25% / 5 turns. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DEFENDER | Ether skill | Self | 200 SPTS | 4 EP Effect: STR/POW down 25%, VIT/ARM up 25% / 5 turns. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STR+2 | Equip skill | Self | 100 SPTS Effect: Raises user's STR by 2 when equipped.

ETHER LIST - G2500 =============================================================================== =============================================================================== In this section we shall tell you about ether skills in greater detail. You'll find information such as ether skill's name, its effects and amount of EP required in order to cast said ether skill. Information on how to learn specific ether skills and how much SPTS is required can be found in section 21. Ether skills will be listed in same way they're listed in Ether menu (available through X button battle menu). Ether skills that contain [E.S] mark are also castable by E.S Zebulun, which is piloted by MOMO. So, teach her as many ether skills as you can. Some of the ether skills you see delay caster's next turn, which will come up slower than usual. Let me provide an example: KOS-MOS' AGL stat is 7. She casts Medica All ether, which has AGL loss of 2. That means that KOS-MOS' new AGL stat until her next turn will be 5. Got that? This effect is nullified once chr learns LOST AGL skill. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ETHER SKILL NAME | EFFECT/S | EP | TARGET/S | LIMIT | LOST AGL

ETHER COMBINATIONS - G2600 =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Performing one and the same ether attack over and over gets boring. But maybe you didn't know that you can perform ether combination attacks? You're at the right place - in this section we will let you know about all the goodies of ether combination attacks. In order to perform an ether combination attack, few requirements must be met: - both chr A and chr B must know the SAME ether skill (except in few cases) - both chr A and chr B must have enough EP to perform ether combination attack - at least 1 boost in BG Let's say your party is KOS-MOS, Shion and MOMO. You'd like Shion and KOS-MOS to combine Medica. KOS-MOS just acted, and it is now Shion's turn. BG has a value of 3 (more than enough), and both Shion and KOS-MOS have 30 EP and have learned Medica. Press L1 or L2 to bring up boost window and press corresponding button to boost KOS-MOS. Now press X to bring up battle menu for Shion. Select [Ether] and press Circle to get a list of all ether abilities Shion has learned. Put the cursor on Medica and now press Triangle. Because both Shion and KOS-MOS know Medica, you will be shown next screen where it will tell you what ether combination you're about to perform, in our case Double Medica. Also shown will be EP cost of ether combination - note that *both* chrs will be using that EP amount, in our case 2 EP will be expended by both KOS-MOS and Shion. If more than one ether combination is possible, select the desired one, then press Circle. Choose desired target and press Circle one more time to complete the procedure. Once you learn Combo Boost skill and have it equipped, you can have *same* chr perform combination ethers. For example KOS-MOS knows Medica 2, has Combo Boost skill equipped, and your party is in pretty bad shape. Boost KOS-MOS, and then perform the procedure described in earlier paragraph to have KOS-MOS cast Double Medica 2 on whole party. This is especially useful for MOMO, who pilots E.S Zebulun, as she can perform Rare Steal that way. If you're performing ether combos via Combo Boost skill, note that chr doing that will have to expend EP for both ethers used in the combo. Pertaining to our previous example, KOS-MOS will expend 8 EP to use Double Medica 2. There's a small trick to preserving some EP I found. Let's say that KOS-MOS has only 4 EP left, and you need to cast Double Medica 2. Boost KOS-MOS and perform the procedure described three paragraphs back. Originally, you'd need KOS-MOS to have 8 EP to even pull this off, but you can manage it just fine with 4 EP. It works the same way for other ether combos. Some of the ether combos you see delay *main caster's* next turn, which will come up slower than usual. Let me provide an example: KOS-MOS' AGL stat is 7, while Shion's is 8. They cast Double Medica 2 (and KOS-MOS is the one that initiated it), which has AGL loss of 1. That means that KOS-MOS' new AGL stat until her next turn will be 6. Got that? This effect is nullified once chr learns LOST AGL skill. NOTE: Miracle Stars and Annihilation are two ether skills, which under normal circumstances deal non-elemental damage. However, if chr performing said ether skills is under Sword ether effect, Miracle Star and Annihilation also come under the effect of Sword ether, meaning you can use them in elemental chains.

To find specific information on GS mission you wish to do, press CTRL + F at same time to bring up [Find and Replace] box. In the prompt type the referral code provided and press Enter twice to find the relevant information. GS Path option is not available in main menu (accessible by Triangle) straight away. First you must have completed [Second Miltia] dungeon and must have access to Second Miltia, First Sector. As you're exploring this sector, you'll come across a white bunny.

CLIENT'S MESSAGE: Thank you so much for delivering my letter! Now Sydney and I can be in love forever and ever! PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: So, you managed to deliver Jacqueline's love letter! She's so happy! I wish the two of them the best of luck, but Sydney needs to settle down and stop wandering around if they want to make it. You never know when he'll just take off again. Well, congratulations on a GS Path down and good luck with the rest. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 02. | GO POSTAL! (succeeded) CLIENT'S MESSAGE: Wow! Jacqueline was right! Thanks to you, I still have a job. Ever think of going into the delivery business? PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: Way to go! Delivering four letters was tough, but you did it! Sikes talked about hand delivering sincerity, right? Now, this may sound weird since I'm talking to you online, but there's a real difference between getting a message from a person and getting it in some indirect way. Maybe we need more people like Sikes. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 02. | GO POSTAL! (failed) CLIENT'S MESSAGE: Hehehe. Was it a little too much to handle? Don't take it too hard. Even I screw up once in a while. PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: Wow, did you really mess up? Delivering four letters must be harder than I thought. Now you know how hard it is to make sure the right things get to the right people. It's a lot like the GS Campaign, right? Anyway, there are a lot more people who need help, so don't let this one get you down! Good luck with the rest! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 03. | OPERATION SQUEAK SQUEAK! CLIENT'S MESSAGE: I can't thank you enough! Now I won't have those horrible little mice running around any more. PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: So, the one behind all the mouse mess was that little brat. Looks like his momo gave him a good scolding; let's hope it sticks this time. He really went through a lot of trouble to get his mom's attention, though. I'd be so shocked if that happened to me! But now, you've mended the family ties and they'll all get along. We hope. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 04. | ZAZA'S GREAT ADVENTURE CLIENT'S MESSAGE: Thank you very much. He has returned without a scratch, and his core chip is intact. PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: Humph! That droid just likes to make people worry. With all the different droids on the Elsa, I guess it's no surprise that one would look up to humans. Maybe being around so many humans rubbed off on him. Hopefully Zaza learned his lesson and will stay on board the Elsa. But maybe Zaza is planning an even greater adventure. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 05. | MY IDOL, DR. UZUKI CLIENT'S MESSAGE: Whew, that was close! Dr. Uzuki seems nice and all, but some stuff'll make him madder than a wet cat. PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: Hehehe, what a flake. That's what he gets for treating those old bookshelves so carelessly. But aren't shelves usually easy to organize? Doesn't making them complocated defeat their purpose? That kid was wrong to mess with the shelves, but maybe a certain someone should also rethink his choice in furniture. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 06. | ULTIMATE RECIPE CLIENT'S MESSAGE: Oh, thank you! But I still wonder if this will truly please Punch's delicate palate. PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: A disciple of true flavor, huh? I guess the best ingredients make good food, but I never get tired of casual meals. You're lucky you trained at Moby Dick's Cafe. Everyone likes their curry! It tastes like real home cooking, just like Mom used to make! Oh boy, now I want some curry. Take me with you next time you go, okay? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 07. | POSTERS A GO-GO! CLIENT'S MESSAGE: Wow! You're amazing! You really put up all 20 posters?! Let me know if you ever need a real job. PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: So, you had to put up posters around Second Miltia this time. Miguel is actually a really important guy. He founded the Area 40 Publishing Agency, but he still can't get away all the day-to-day stuff. It must be hard for him to leave his own company in other people's hands. It's nice to see there are still people with a sense of responsibility. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 08. | MILTIAN CRISIS! CLIENT'S MESSAGE: Whew! We almost had a complete blackout of Second Miltia on out hands. Thanks for the help! PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: Oh my! That was a really dangerous job you did there! You just barely managed to save Second Miltia from a total blackout! I'm sure there are backup generators, but some people always panic when there's a crisis. Maybe this near miss will teach them the importance of practicing their emergence routines every day. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 09. | THE GREAT THIEF CLIENT'S MESSAGE: Yay! Thank you! I'll put a leash on him now, so no one will ever take him away again! PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: So, that was the infamous thief Dreamy Bonny! What could a thief who could steal anything in Miltian space want with a little girl's teddy bear? And she gave it up so easily, too! Anyway, congrats on reuniting a teddy bear with it loving owner. You can't be too careful about Bonny, though. Keep your eyes peeled! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 10. | THE LEGENDARY BLUE FLOWER (succeeded) CLIENT'S MESSAGE: Hey, you remembered my favorite flower! Thank you! Now this room will look a lot nicer. PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: I looked up Luty in the UMN database, and it looks like she's had a really hard life. For years she completely cut herself off from the outside world, but now, she's become a fun little girl. I heard she now helps people get better through flowers. Let's hope one day she'll have so many flowers that no one will stop smiling. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 10. | THE LEGENDARY BLUE FLOWER (failed) CLIENT'S MESSAGE: I guess the room is brighter now, but it's not the same. My favorite flower is really bright! PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: Oh well. The fortune flower you picked wasn't the one she was hoping for. She may look sad now, but the truth is, all flowers make her happy. She doesn't want just a pretty flower. She wants to put in the effort to make it bloom. That's probably the reason she came out of her shell in the first place. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 11. | WATER WORKS WORRIES! CLIENT'S MESSAGE: Thanks a lot! But for some reason, water quality is still not what it was before... PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: I wonder why the nanomachine dispensers broke down? The Water Works of Second Miltia is supposedly one of the best departments in the Galaxy Federation. Maybe there was a problem at the company that made the machines. This could be a big problem for Second Miltia. Someone should definitely look into it. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 12. | MORE WATER WORKS WOES! CLIENT'S MESSAGE: Thanks again for bailing us out. But I still don't get why water quality isn't improving... PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: First malfunctioning nanomachines, and now water stopping for no reason. There's something fishy going on in these sewers. If this keeps up, there will be big problems on Second Miltia. It seems like you can fix things better than the Water Works people. Why don't you go down and take one last look around? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 13. | A TINY WATER BUG CLIENT'S MESSAGE: Nanomachines gone haywire, huh? I guess now you can't even trust machines to do the job right. PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: I knew there was something weird down there! Like Glenn said, maybe we're putting too much fait in technology. You say that's not something an AI should think? Well, maybe some things rubbed off from all the humans I've been in contact with. And hey, what would you do to me if I went crazy like the nanomachines? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 14. | THE SONGSTRESS' WISH CLIENT'S MESSAGE: Thank you! He was waiting to say goodbye. Oh, now I feel like I can perform again! PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: According to my data, the singer Kate Blondel was once a major star in Miltian space. It's so sad that something like that happened and made her stop singing. Her brother was waiting just to say goodbye to her. You know, I hope that monster that popped up in the Encephalon was just a bug... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 15. | THE BRIDE'S DILEMMA (succeeded) CLIENT'S MESSAGE: Thank you so much! I'm always losing things! From now on, that ring is staying locked in a drawer! PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: According to my database, you also found her engagement ring when she lost it. Now her wedding ring, too? Makes you wonder how much she really likes him. I guess she's a good match for Mickey, though. He's not exactly the sharpest knife in the kitchen. I can't wait to see how this marriage works out in the end! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 15. | THE BRIDE'S DILEMMA (failed) CLIENT'S MESSAGE: That's okay. I got another ring just like it! But if he finds out, there won't be a honeymoon! PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: Uh-oh. Weren't you the one who found her engagement ring when she lost it before? It looks like it wasn't inside a fish this time. I guess she dropped this ring where no one can find it. What a ditz! She even went out and bought another ring just like it. It's like she already knew she would lose it! Just don't tell Mickey! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 16. | THE MAESTRO PLAYS ON CLIENT'S MESSAGE: Oh, the sweet melody of this music box! Once again, my creative spirit flows free! PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: Ah, so even great composers have their little secrets! I think the mucis he composes is...well...different from the nice melodies of that music box, but maybe that's not something I should bring up. At any rate, I'm sure his fans will be elated to hear about his comeback, and hopefully, he'll make great music for years to come. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 17. | THE TROUBLE WITH BONNY (succeeded) CLIENT'S MESSAGE: Look at me! Like I always say, "Keep your eyes on the prize!" Thank you for all your help! PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: What? You got a job for Dreamy Bonny? As a waitress?! I guess the clothes do make a woman. You know, she does look good in a uniform. I still don't know about her change of heart, though. How can a master thief just turn around like that? Do you think she's really mended her ways, or is she just setting up another mark? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 17. | THE TROUBLE WITH BONNY (failed) CLIENT'S MESSAGE: Looks like Caito has a thing for pink maid uniforms. Well, at least I got a real job now. PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: You really got Bonny a job as a waitress? And Caito! Who knew he had such a big thing for maid outfits? I think he's a little too into them, if you ask me. So what if you didn't get the kind of uniform Caito likes. Bonny still looks nice, and I'm sure Caito will learn to like it. At least Bonny has a real job now! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 18. | MESSAGE FROM A HERO CLIENT'S MESSAGE: Thank you so much for upholding my father's honor. Please take this code as a token of my gratitude. PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: I can't believe someone would build a trick into the statue of the Foundation's greatest hero! I bet if you look at the itme Janet gave you, you'll find out what it is. She never made up with her dad before he died, but if he saw how she was defending his good name, he would be so proud. Another job well done! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 19. | A PRECIOUS LIFE CLIENT'S MESSAGE: Well aren't we the little genius?! My kitty witty Josephine is back to his old self! Hugs & kisses! PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: Seeing King worry about his cat like that makes you think he's really a nice person inside. But worrying about a false pregnancy when Josephine is a "he"? Now that's a little silly. Anyway, maybe those silly things are what make the people of the Foundation like him. I can't see someone like that being all bad. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 20. | A GRIMY HEART OF GOLD CLIENT'S MESSAGE: Whoa! I can't believe you got window cleaning skills that good! That's amazing! PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: Taking pride in your work like Kramer does is a good thing. Now that he lost to you, he'll probably go and improve his technique for next time. And on top of that, Layla will enjoy her nice, clean windows. I'm not sure if I should tell you this, but I slipped him a couple of Seraphim Sisters tickets, too. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 21. | HIDDEN THINGS IN HIDDEN PLACES CLIENT'S MESSAGE: You have made an old man very happy! Thanks to you, I can relive the wonderful days of my youth! PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: So, that Pink Book was a page from Roy's youth! That old man has some life in him! If he keeps up like this, he could live for a hundred more years! You know, I wonder if people behind GS Campaign meant for it to be like this. They should think a little harder about their target audience, right? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 22. | CHALLAH AND CHUTZPAH (succeeded) CLIENT'S MESSAGE: All right! You did it! Now Farouk will take me seriously, and Mina and I can finally be together! PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: Hmm, I wonder if Johnny is always like that. You know, he was only thinking of himself, but the Smile Bakery is now doing well, too! And yet, the poor guy's dreams still show no signs of coming true. When I see that kind of wild young man, though, I get jealous. It's so human! I wish I could do crazy things like that! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 22. | CHALLAH AND CHUTZPAH (failed) CLIENT'S MESSAGE: What were you thinking?! Now I have to figure out another plan so I can marry Mina! PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: That's so sad! Johnny won't be able to get married for a while. Well, that's what he gets for using other people for his own ambitions. I'm actually kind of curious to see what he comes up with next. Sure, part of him is a schemer, but he's not all bad. The people of the Foundation know that, too. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 23. | STOLEN MEMORY CLIENT'S MESSAGE: So that pink-haired thief stole the ship's log! What would she want with something like that? PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: So, the thief on the Elsa was none other than Dreamy Bonny! If she really stole the captain's log, you need to find her and get it back! She might be an infamous thief, but she seems to be crossing your path a lot lately. I'm sure she'll pop up somewhere, if you look hard enough. Next time, go and have a little chat with her! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 24. | TRIVIA MASTER CLIENT'S MESSAGE: I have invested too much of myself in trivial knowledge. I shall remember now to have more fun! PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: Simon, the quiz genius! He might be smart for is age, but getting upset like that just because he didn't know some trivia is pretty childish, if you ask me. It's just a game, right? But you! You answered all those questions like a pro! I only got five of them right! You are the trivia master now! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 25. | AN OLD DANCER REMINISCES (succeeded) CLIENT'S MESSAGE: Oh, you found all three! Thank you oh so much! Now let's see if I still have a few steps in me! PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: That lady used to be a very famous ballerina. She was so depressed before you helped her out. It was like she had nothing to live for. Now look at her! She's a totally new woman! She hasn't danced in decades, and it'll be hard to get back her feel for the moves, but if she does dance again on stage, I'll be sitting right in the front row! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 25. | AN OLD DANCER REMINISCES (failed) CLIENT'S MESSAGE: I guess all three was too much to hope for. That's okay, dear. Even this will keep me dancing. PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: Oh, poor Stella! I guess getting three items is a lot harder than it sounds. Did you see the look on her face for just those one or two pieces, though? She was elated! Whatever you did, it wasn't a waste, and Stella knows that, too. If she dances again on stage, I'd love to be right there in the first row. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 26. | RESCUE! (succeeded) CLIENT'S MESSAGE: I can't thank you enough for bringing my son back! I will never let him out of my sight again! PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: Whew, that was close! That toy store was the right choice! You know, there is a toy store in the Submerged City, too. Although, if you had used the key to open that store, the boy's mind might have been ripped to pieces by feedback from the UMN. Just another lesson that you can't be too careful with the UMN. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 26. | RESCUE! (failed) CLIENT'S MESSAGE: My son...My son...One day, I'll see your smiling face again. I promise I'll bring you back! PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: I...I don't know what to say. Maybe if you had used the key in the toy store on Miltia 14 years ago, the boy could have been saved. Don't get me wrong; I'm not trying to put the blame on you! It's just so sad. We need to keep researching the Encephalon, so no one will ever have to go through anything like this again! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 27. | THE MASTER BARTENDER (succeeded) CLIENT'S MESSAGE: Great! I think you found a mix the captain can stand. Wish me luck after his next bender. PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: Wow! You discovered remedy for Matthews' hangovers! I wonder what kind of name the droids will give the drink. Hey, did you notice that all the droids on the Elsa are named after cocktails? Matthews may work his droids hard, but I bet he really has a soft spot for them. Of course, if he knew I said that, I'd get a boot to the head. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 27. | THE MASTER BARTENDER (failed) CLIENT'S MESSAGE: Oh no! I couldn't mix a drink to remedy captain's hangovers! I guess I should order my spare parts now. PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: Uh-oh! Poor droids. Matthews is so stressed, who knows how much he'll drink the next time he drops by the Elsa's bar. Hey, did you notice that all the droids on the Elsa are named after cocktails? Matthews may work his droids hard, but I bet he really has a soft spot for them. Of course, if he knew I said that, I'd get a boot to the head. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 28. | IRONMAN RUMBLE CLIENT'S MESSAGE: So, you took down Mad Skelter? You're the toughest I've seen yet. I'm sure the Iron 3 would be proud. PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: He was the main villain in Iron 3, and you brought him down like nothing! I have some data on the Iron 3, and that fight was a lot tougher than their usual main villain. Aren't the Iron 4 trying to defeat Mad Skelter, though? If you already beat Mad Skelter, then who in the world are the Iron 4 going to fight against now? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 29. | A BIG FISH TALE CLIENT'S MESSAGE: Well, I'll be damned! You actually hauled in Red Eye! Your name will go down in fishing history! PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: I didn't have a clue that you were so good at fishing! The legendary Red Eye! Butch said that a genetically altered fish was down there somewhere. I guess there are risks whenever you play with life. It looks like Butch is still searching for sunke treasure, though. Etsuka's right; he should learn how to swim first. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 30. | FIVE LITTLE KITTIES CLIENT'S MESSAGE: Thank you for finding homes for the cats! King seems a little sad to see them go, though. PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: They were lucky you came along to find the cats homes! It's funny, though. Just like the delinquents in the Foundation all flock to King, maybe the stray cats looked to Josephine as a big brother (or sister). They say pets take after their owners, right? King was sad to see them go, but he'll be back to his old self in no time! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 31. | MEMORIES LAST FOREVER CLIENT'S MESSAGE: So, there are still nice grownups left in the world! I almost forgot that. Thank you so much! PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: Layla's amazing. That little girl has had it rough since her parents died, but she just keeps going. She always puts on a happy face, even though she's very lonely. That family's ties were stronger than anything. She must have a ton of wonderful memories. I hope the hotel keeps going for years to come. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 32. | FOR THE CAPTAIN! CLIENT'S MESSAGE: Thank you very much! Now I can open my shop. But how can I make money selling to just the crew? PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: I knew Matthews owed some money, but I didn't realize he racked up 10000000G in debt! And thanks to you, it's all paid off. Just like the droids say, though, he'll probably get right back into debt before you know it. It would be a shame to see all your work go to waste! Try and keep him straight, okay? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 33. | ENCEPHALON ADVENTURE CLIENT'S MESSAGE: Well, well. So, you got all the traps. Thanks to you, maybe I can now go back to doing what I love. PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: Hugo was a genius in the Encephalon project. He was the one who proposed the revolutionary architecture to the virtual space research team. But all of a sudden, he was gone! So that's what happened to him. Encephalon dive engineering really wears on your nerves. I kind of understand how he feels sometimes. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 34. | MILTIAN ROMANCE (succeeded) CLIENT'S MESSAGE: So, the best date spot is Second Miltia! I kind of figured that, but hey, I owe you one! PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: Wow! You found the perfect date spot to bring two young lovers together! I'm sure Carlos couldn't have done it alone. Emelia said it herself; there's something weird about him! I can't believe Emelia would go back to someone like that guy... Well, maybe an AI shouldn't say things like that. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 34. | MILTIAN ROMANCE (failed) CLIENT'S MESSAGE: Oh man, the place you told me about wasn't the right place! Now Emilia's gone for good! PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: So, even you couldn't find the best date spot? I guess in a city this big, everyone has a different opinion. Finding the perfect place for someone as flaky as Emelia is a really hard job. Maybe it's good that Carlos got dumped. He shouldn't be making strangers ask people out on dates.

Now, where did that hammer go? Oh, don't you worry. It'll turn up somewhere. PROCURATOR'S MESSAGE: Camille, the nosiest old hag in the Foundation! It's not great, but it looks like she trusts your work. By the way, do you know where the hammer is? I do! You might find it if you talk to enough people, but let's not tell Camille. If she can't find the hammer on her own, she'll just do the same thing to some other poor guy. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 36. | MISS MILTIA!

But out of all people we looked into as agent candidates, how did someone so shallow and stuck up as that get in?!

=============================================================================== 30.) ERDE KAISER - G3000 =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Erde Kaiser - or Earth Emperor, translated from German language. Surely you've met the Professor onboard the Elsa and talked to him. And it just so happens that he brought up Erde Kaiser... so what about it? Erde Kaiser is an optional 'quest' (to put it that way) and it involves your party to be searching for six robot parts. Once you find them all and bring them to Professor, he'll make those parts into what will be known to you as Erde Kaiser. But first let us show you where you can find the relevant parts. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Robopart | Found where? Extras | Any additional requirements which must be met? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ROBOT PART LEFT LEG | Segment Address 03 (Second Miltia, Publishing agency) Extras | Collect Right Leg first, as you get Decoder 03 with it ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ROBOT PART RIGHT LEG | Segment Door 16 (Iron Man bar in Kukai) Extras | Along with Right Leg you get Decoder 03 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ROBOT PART LEFT ARM | Segment Address 07 (Dammerung) Extras | Collect Right Arm first, as you get Decoder 07 with it ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ROBOT PART RIGHT ARM | Segment Address 14 (Old Miltia) Extras | Along with Right Arm you get Decoder 07 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ROBOT PART TORSO | Segment Address 13 (Ormus Stronghold) Extras | Nothing of special importance ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ROBOT PART HEAD | Segment Address 08 (Desert) Extras | Obtainable after clearing the game at least once ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Another important thing to note is that there are three GS campaigns that affect your outcome pertaining which Erde Kaiser you get. That's correct, you can *choose* which Erde Kaiser summon you want. There are three different summons - one deals slash, one deals pierce, and one deals thunder damage. Actually, the right word might not be 'choosing', but rather building it, part by part. Those GS campaigns are: No.27, No.29 and No.35. Each of these three campaigns require you to perform a task (No.27 - mix a drink, No.29 - catch a fish, No.35 - fix the roof), which can be attempted multiple times. No.27 can be attempted 5 times maximum, while No.29 and No.35 can be attempted as often as you like. Type of Erde Kaiser you get depends on which attempt you manage to clear the campaign. But do take a look at below three charts. Part - Arm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GS No.27 | 1-2 attempts | 3-4 attempts | 5th (final) attempt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ARM | TYPE-A | TYPE-B | TYPE-C ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Part - Leg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GS No.29 | 1-5 attempts | 6-10 attempts | 11+ attempts ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LEG | TYPE-A | TYPE-B | TYPE-C ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Part - Head ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GS No.35 | 1-5 attempts | 6-10 attempts | 11+ attempts ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HEAD | TYPE-A | TYPE-B | TYPE-C ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ARM PART IS THE ONE THAT DETERMINES WHICH TYPE OF ERDE KAISER YOU GET!!! As such, carefully consider which Erde Kaiser summon you want. As you collect parts, Shion also gains ability to cast additional ethers. Here they are: Erde Storm - costs 8 EP, non-elemental etd to all enemies, cancels enemy's turn Erde Beam - costs 8 EP, beam etd to all enemies Erde Quake - costs 8 EP, non-elemental etd to all enemies Erde Storm is obtained after collecting both arm parts, returning to Professor and talking to him. Erde Beam is obtained after collecting the head, returning to Professor and talking to him. Erde Quake is obtained after collecting both leg parts, returning to Professor and talking to him. And how do you select Body? Once you have collected all robot parts, get back to the Elsa and talk to Professor. Few events will take place - you just make sure that you keep talking to Professor - eventually you'll be given three choices. Part - Body ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BODY | TYPE-A | TYPE-B | TYPE-C ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That last choice is pretty simple, huh? Now, based on which Arm part you got, Shion will get the ability to cast *one* of the following three ethers: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Type | Description -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Slash | Erde Kaiser Fury - costs 50 EP, deals slash etd to all enemies ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pierce | Erde Kaiser Fury - costs 50 EP, deals pierce etd to all enemies ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thunder | Erde Kaiser Fury - costs 50 EP, deals thunder etd to all enemies ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Again, you can only get ONE summon. You cannot gain two, you cannot gain three. One and one only. Shion is the only chr that will be able to use chosen ether attack (also, it can be used only *once* per battle). As a fun addition, there's a total of 81 different Erde Kaisers you can assemble, based on which parts you got - 27 different animations per summon. Those are: ERDE KAISER FURY - Slash damage to all enemies -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- No | ARM | LEG | HEAD | BODY | No | ARM | LEG | HEAD | BODY ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 01 | TYPE-A | TYPE-A | TYPE-A | TYPE-A | 11 | TYPE-A | TYPE-B | TYPE-A | TYPE-B 02 | TYPE-A | TYPE-A | TYPE-A | TYPE-B | 12 | TYPE-A | TYPE-B | TYPE-A | TYPE-C 03 | TYPE-A | TYPE-A | TYPE-A | TYPE-C | 13 | TYPE-A | TYPE-B | TYPE-B | TYPE-A 04 | TYPE-A | TYPE-A | TYPE-B | TYPE-A | 14 | TYPE-A | TYPE-B | TYPE-B | TYPE-B 05 | TYPE-A | TYPE-A | TYPE-B | TYPE-B | 15 | TYPE-A | TYPE-B | TYPE-B | TYPE-C 06 | TYPE-A | TYPE-A | TYPE-B | TYPE-C | 16 | TYPE-A | TYPE-B | TYPE-C | TYPE-A 07 | TYPE-A | TYPE-A | TYPE-C | TYPE-A | 17 | TYPE-A | TYPE-B | TYPE-C | TYPE-B 08 | TYPE-A | TYPE-A | TYPE-C | TYPE-B | 18 | TYPE-A | TYPE-B | TYPE-C | TYPE-C 09 | TYPE-A | TYPE-A | TYPE-C | TYPE-C | 19 | TYPE-A | TYPE-C | TYPE-A | TYPE-A 10 | TYPE-A | TYPE-B | TYPE-A | TYPE-A | 20 | TYPE-A | TYPE-C | TYPE-A | TYPE-B ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21 | TYPE-A | TYPE-C | TYPE-A | TYPE-C | 22 | TYPE-A | TYPE-C | TYPE-B | TYPE-A | 23 | TYPE-A | TYPE-C | TYPE-B | TYPE-B | 24 | TYPE-A | TYPE-C | TYPE-B | TYPE-C | 25 | TYPE-A | TYPE-C | TYPE-C | TYPE-A | 26 | TYPE-A | TYPE-C | TYPE-C | TYPE-B | 27 | TYPE-A | TYPE-C | TYPE-C | TYPE-C | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ERDE KAISER FURY - Pierce damage to all enemies -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- No | ARM | LEG | HEAD | BODY | No | ARM | LEG | HEAD | BODY ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 28 | TYPE-B | TYPE-A | TYPE-A | TYPE-A | 38 | TYPE-B | TYPE-B | TYPE-A | TYPE-B 29 | TYPE-B | TYPE-A | TYPE-A | TYPE-B | 39 | TYPE-B | TYPE-B | TYPE-A | TYPE-C 30 | TYPE-B | TYPE-A | TYPE-A | TYPE-C | 40 | TYPE-B | TYPE-B | TYPE-B | TYPE-A 31 | TYPE-B | TYPE-A | TYPE-B | TYPE-A | 41 | TYPE-B | TYPE-B | TYPE-B | TYPE-B 32 | TYPE-B | TYPE-A | TYPE-B | TYPE-B | 42 | TYPE-B | TYPE-B | TYPE-B | TYPE-C 33 | TYPE-B | TYPE-A | TYPE-B | TYPE-C | 43 | TYPE-B | TYPE-B | TYPE-C | TYPE-A 34 | TYPE-B | TYPE-A | TYPE-C | TYPE-A | 44 | TYPE-B | TYPE-B | TYPE-C | TYPE-B 35 | TYPE-B | TYPE-A | TYPE-C | TYPE-B | 45 | TYPE-B | TYPE-B | TYPE-C | TYPE-C 36 | TYPE-B | TYPE-A | TYPE-C | TYPE-C | 46 | TYPE-B | TYPE-C | TYPE-A | TYPE-A 37 | TYPE-B | TYPE-B | TYPE-A | TYPE-A | 47 | TYPE-B | TYPE-C | TYPE-A | TYPE-B ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 48 | TYPE-B | TYPE-C | TYPE-A | TYPE-C | 49 | TYPE-B | TYPE-C | TYPE-B | TYPE-A | 50 | TYPE-B | TYPE-C | TYPE-B | TYPE-B | 51 | TYPE-B | TYPE-C | TYPE-B | TYPE-C | 52 | TYPE-B | TYPE-C | TYPE-C | TYPE-A | 53 | TYPE-B | TYPE-C | TYPE-C | TYPE-B | 54 | TYPE-B | TYPE-C | TYPE-C | TYPE-C | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ERDE KAISER FURY - Thunder damage to all enemies -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- No | ARM | LEG | HEAD | BODY | No | ARM | LEG | HEAD | BODY ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 55 | TYPE-C | TYPE-A | TYPE-A | TYPE-A | 65 | TYPE-C | TYPE-B | TYPE-A | TYPE-B 56 | TYPE-C | TYPE-A | TYPE-A | TYPE-B | 66 | TYPE-C | TYPE-B | TYPE-A | TYPE-C 57 | TYPE-C | TYPE-A | TYPE-A | TYPE-C | 67 | TYPE-C | TYPE-B | TYPE-B | TYPE-A 58 | TYPE-C | TYPE-A | TYPE-B | TYPE-A | 68 | TYPE-C | TYPE-B | TYPE-B | TYPE-B 59 | TYPE-C | TYPE-A | TYPE-B | TYPE-B | 69 | TYPE-C | TYPE-B | TYPE-B | TYPE-C 60 | TYPE-C | TYPE-A | TYPE-B | TYPE-C | 70 | TYPE-C | TYPE-B | TYPE-C | TYPE-A 61 | TYPE-C | TYPE-A | TYPE-C | TYPE-A | 71 | TYPE-C | TYPE-B | TYPE-C | TYPE-B 62 | TYPE-C | TYPE-A | TYPE-C | TYPE-B | 72 | TYPE-C | TYPE-B | TYPE-C | TYPE-C 63 | TYPE-C | TYPE-A | TYPE-C | TYPE-C | 73 | TYPE-C | TYPE-C | TYPE-A | TYPE-A 64 | TYPE-C | TYPE-B | TYPE-A | TYPE-A | 74 | TYPE-C | TYPE-C | TYPE-A | TYPE-B ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 75 | TYPE-C | TYPE-C | TYPE-A | TYPE-C | 76 | TYPE-C | TYPE-C | TYPE-B | TYPE-A | 77 | TYPE-C | TYPE-C | TYPE-B | TYPE-B | 78 | TYPE-C | TYPE-C | TYPE-B | TYPE-C | 79 | TYPE-C | TYPE-C | TYPE-C | TYPE-A | 80 | TYPE-C | TYPE-C | TYPE-C | TYPE-B | 81 | TYPE-C | TYPE-C | TYPE-C | TYPE-C | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== =============================================================================== 31.)

She's a very good all-around chr, who excels at most stats - she's got HP, EP, kickass stats to boot and a very sexy body... Ooops, I don't know how that comment managed to slip in. Her downside is low AGL stat. The only way to raise her AGL is to equip Swimsuit skill (to get that, you must have completed XSE1 and made the save with [To be continued...] data; or perform the Skill tutorial bug as explained in section 13) and she becomes even more dangerous. Her normal attacks are all of physical nature - couple that with high STR stat, and as such she's an excellent choice for enemies weak to phd. Because she doesn't have any element attributes associated with her normal techs, you must bestow one on her via Sword ethers, so that she is then able to participate in elemental chains. Once you initiate a Break on the enemy, KOS-MOS has the ability of sending that enemy into the air, thus allowing you to dish out increased damage because of Air effect. Good partner chrs would be Shion and MOMO. Former has two double techs with her, and with latter she can silence [B] and [G] type enemies, thus preventing them from using ether based attacks. They're also an excellent party when facing an enemy with strong ether attacks - EDEF of all girls is higher than EDEF of the guys. And if you're going against an enemy with powerful physicals, consider using Jin along. Ziggy and chaos aren't so good to use with KOS-MOS, because they cannot attack Aired enemies. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- SHION -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- LV | HP | EP | STR | VIT | EATK | EDEF | DEX | EVA | AGL ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 16 | 547 | 37 | 20 | 21 | 31 | 31 | 27 | 29 | 8 20 | 658 | 41 | 24 | 25 | 35 | 35 | 31 | 33 | 8 25 | 789 | 46 | 29 | 30 | 40 | 40 | 36 | 38 | 8 30 | 911 | 51 | 31 | 35 | 45 | 45 | 41 | 43 | 8 35 | 1024 | 56 | 32 | 40 | 50 | 50 | 46 | 48 | 8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 40 | 1129 | 61 | 34 | 45 | 55 | 55 | 51 | 53 | 8 45 | 1226 | 66 | 35 | 47 | 60 | 60 | 56 | 58 | 8 50 | 1314 | 71 | 36 | 48 | 65 | 65 | 61 | 63 | 8 55 | 1394 | 76 | 37 | 49 | 70 | 70 | 66 | 68 | 8 60 | 1464 | 81 | 39 | 51 | 75 | 75 | 71 | 71 | 8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 65 | 1526 | 82 | 40 | 52 | 80 | 80 | 72 | 72 | 8 70 | 1579 | 83 | 41 | 53 | 83 | 83 | 73 | 73 | 8 75 | 1624 | 84 | 42 | 54 | 84 | 84 | 74 | 74 | 8 80 | 1661 | 86 | 44 | 56 | 86 | 86 | 76 | 76 | 8 85 | 1689 | 87 | 45 | 57 | 87 | 87 | 77 | 77 | 8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 90 | 1707 | 88 | 46 | 58 | 88 | 88 | 78 | 78 | 8 95 | 1718 | 89 | 47 | 59 | 89 | 89 | 79 | 79 | 8 99 | 1720 | 90 | 48 | 60 | 90 | 90 | 80 | 80 | 8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *whistles* Too bad I like KOS-MOS more, though. When you look at her stats, you will see that her HP is way smaller than KOS-MOS', meaning you'll have to look out for her a bit more. Shion's STR stat is of no importance, because all of her single techs are ether based, hence EATK stat is considered. AGL stat (which is even higher once you equip Swimsuit) will allow for many of Shion's turns in battle, hence more enemy ownage. As already established, her attacks are all ether based. Unlike other chrs, Shion and MOMO do not have Square and Triangle attacks, only Circle. As such it is hard to make Breaks on enemies, but with a tiny bit of manipulating BG anything can be accomplished. Shion's single techs also come bestowed with two elements - two techs are thunder based, and one is beam based. As such, she's a good prime choice when fighting mechs. Shion also gets access to unique ether attack Erde Kaiser, which if used correctly (for example at the end of a long elemental chain), can dish out as much as 100000 damage. Although Shion can be a chr who makes a successful Break on the enemy, she has no means of sending that enemy into the air or knocking it down, so she must rely on other chrs to do that job. Regardless, all of her single techs are long range and as such can hit any enemy. And, along with MOMO, Shion is one of the two chrs that can use Escape command. Good partner chrs are KOS-MOS and Jin. She has two double techs with both of them, and one of those with Jin makes a crisp out of all enemies. In some cases she's also good to pair up with Jr for another hit-all-enemies double tech. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- MOMO -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- LV | HP | EP | STR | VIT | EATK | EDEF | DEX | EVA | AGL ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8 | 274 | 39 | 10 | 11 | 28 | 28 | 29 | 35 | 9 10 | 331 | 41 | 12 | 13 | 30 | 32 | 31 | 37 | 9 15 | 468 | 46 | 17 | 18 | 35 | 38 | 36 | 42 | 9 20 | 597 | 51 | 19 | 23 | 40 | 43 | 41 | 47 | 9 21 | 622 | 52 | 19 | 24 | 41 | 44 | 42 | 48 | 9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 25 | 719 | 56 | 20 | 27 | 45 | 48 | 46 | 52 | 9 30 | 832 | 61 | 21 | 28 | 50 | 53 | 51 | 57 | 9 35 | 937 | 66 | 22 | 29 | 55 | 58 | 56 | 62 | 9 40 | 1034 | 71 | 24 | 31 | 60 | 63 | 61 | 67 | 9 45 | 1124 | 76 | 25 | 32 | 65 | 68 | 66 | 72 | 9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 50 | 1206 | 81 | 26 | 33 | 70 | 73 | 71 | 77 | 9 55 | 1279 | 86 | 27 | 34 | 75 | 78 | 76 | 82 | 9 60 | 1344 | 90 | 29 | 36 | 80 | 83 | 81 | 87 | 9 65 | 1401 | 91 | 30 | 37 | 85 | 88 | 86 | 90 | 9 70 | 1451 | 92 | 31 | 38 | 88 | 92 | 89 | 91 | 9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 75 | 1493 | 93 | 32 | 39 | 89 | 93 | 90 | 92 | 9 80 | 1526 | 95 | 34 | 41 | 91 | 95 | 92 | 94 | 9 85 | 1551 | 96 | 35 | 42 | 92 | 96 | 93 | 95 | 9 90 | 1569 | 97 | 36 | 43 | 93 | 97 | 94 | 96 | 9 95 | 1578 | 98 | 37 | 44 | 94 | 98 | 95 | 97 | 9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 99 | 1580 | 99 | 38 | 45 | 95 | 99 | 96 | 98 | 9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Would appear to be another weak chr, but if you use her wisely, she's one of the best (at least she was for me). The lowest HP, but highest EP and AGL, and she's also got serious EATK, EDEF, DEX and EVA to boot. True, she may sustain a lot of phd, but EVA more than makes up for it. Also, STR for MOMO isn't important because of ether based single techs. Because of high EP amount, she's likely to be your main pick when it comes to Ether command. Like Shion, MOMO can only use Circle attacks. Despite her single techs being ether based, they don't have any element attributes (so you must bestow one on her via Sword ethers, if you want her to participate in elemental chains), but they do possess piercing attribute, excellent for some types of enemies (MOMO works very well against mechs). Thanks to AGL, she can attack a lot of times. Although MOMO can be a chr who makes a successful Break on the enemy, she has no means of sending that enemy into the air or knocking it down, so she must rely on other chrs to do that job. Regardless, all of her single techs are long range and as such can hit any enemy. Like Shion, MOMO is able to use Escape command. She's good to pair up with chaos (Blessed Miracle, Auto-Revive status) and KOS-MOS (Cross Hilbert, silences [B] and [G] enemies). -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- CHAOS -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- LV | HP | EP | STR | VIT | EATK | EDEF | DEX | EVA | AGL ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4 | 232 | 24 | 16 | 13 | 19 | 16 | 16 | 18 | 7 5 | 272 | 26 | 17 | 14 | 21 | 17 | 17 | 19 | 7 10 | 464 | 31 | 22 | 19 | 29 | 22 | 22 | 24 | 7 15 | 646 | 36 | 27 | 24 | 34 | 27 | 27 | 29 | 7 20 | 817 | 41 | 32 | 29 | 39 | 32 | 32 | 34 | 7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21 | 850 | 42 | 33 | 30 | 40 | 33 | 33 | 35 | 7 25 | 978 | 46 | 37 | 34 | 44 | 37 | 37 | 39 | 7 30 | 1128 | 51 | 42 | 39 | 49 | 42 | 42 | 44 | 7 35 | 1267 | 56 | 47 | 44 | 54 | 47 | 47 | 49 | 7 40 | 1396 | 61 | 52 | 49 | 59 | 52 | 52 | 54 | 7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 45 | 1515 | 66 | 57 | 54 | 64 | 57 | 57 | 59 | 7 50 | 1623 | 71 | 62 | 59 | 69 | 62 | 62 | 64 | 7 55 | 1720 | 76 | 67 | 64 | 74 | 67 | 67 | 69 | 7 60 | 1807 | 81 | 72 | 69 | 79 | 72 | 72 | 74 | 7 65 | 1883 | 86 | 77 | 74 | 84 | 77 | 76 | 79 | 7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 70 | 1949 | 89 | 79 | 76 | 87 | 79 | 77 | 81 | 7 75 | 2004 | 90 | 80 | 77 | 88 | 80 | 78 | 82 | 7 80 | 2048 | 92 | 82 | 79 | 90 | 82 | 80 | 84 | 7 85 | 2082 | 93 | 83 | 80 | 91 | 83 | 81 | 85 | 7 90 | 2105 | 94 | 84 | 81 | 92 | 84 | 82 | 86 | 7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 95 | 2118 | 95 | 85 | 82 | 93 | 85 | 83 | 87 | 7 99 | 2120 | 96 | 86 | 83 | 94 | 86 | 84 | 88 | 7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nicely balanced stats, but could have more HP. Still, I think VIT stat is sufficient enough to allow you to survive anything. Has the most EP out of all guys, surpassed only by MOMO. As such, he can be devoted to casting lots of ether attacks. Of course, equipping Swimsuit skill is worth it for that extra AGL point you get. All of his single techs are of physical nature and come equipped with aura attribute. With that in mind, he can start up good elemental chains, and is a great fighter against [B] enemies (many of them have aura weakness). Once chaos does a Break on the enemy, he has the ability to knock that enemy onto the ground, thus producing Down effect. He is, however, unable to hit targets which are in Air effect, or are too high above ground. In such cases, you would have to cast an ether or perform Stock... So, to always be able to hit enemies with chaos, keep initiating Down effects. Good chrs to pair him up with are Jr and MOMO - latter has a hit-all-enemies double tech with him, while MOMO's Blessed Miracle produces Auto-Revive effect. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- JR -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- LV | HP | EP | STR | VIT | EATK | EDEF | DEX | EVA | AGL ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8 | 343 | 19 | 25 | 15 | 23 | 19 | 32 | 26 | 8 10 | 411 | 21 | 27 | 17 | 25 | 21 | 34 | 28 | 8 15 | 574 | 26 | 32 | 22 | 30 | 26 | 39 | 33 | 8 20 | 728 | 31 | 37 | 27 | 35 | 31 | 44 | 38 | 8 21 | 758 | 32 | 38 | 28 | 36 | 32 | 45 | 39 | 8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 25 | 873 | 36 | 42 | 32 | 40 | 36 | 49 | 43 | 8 30 | 1008 | 41 | 47 | 37 | 45 | 41 | 54 | 48 | 8 35 | 1133 | 46 | 52 | 42 | 50 | 46 | 59 | 53 | 8 40 | 1249 | 51 | 57 | 47 | 55 | 51 | 64 | 58 | 8 45 | 1356 | 56 | 62 | 52 | 60 | 56 | 69 | 63 | 8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 50 | 1453 | 61 | 67 | 57 | 65 | 61 | 74 | 68 | 8 55 | 1540 | 66 | 72 | 62 | 70 | 66 | 79 | 73 | 8 60 | 1618 | 71 | 77 | 66 | 75 | 71 | 84 | 78 | 8 65 | 1686 | 76 | 82 | 67 | 80 | 72 | 89 | 83 | 8 70 | 1745 | 77 | 85 | 68 | 83 | 73 | 92 | 85 | 8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 75 | 1795 | 78 | 86 | 69 | 84 | 74 | 93 | 86 | 8 80 | 1835 | 80 | 88 | 71 | 86 | 76 | 95 | 88 | 8 85 | 1865 | 81 | 89 | 72 | 87 | 77 | 96 | 89 | 8 90 | 1886 | 82 | 90 | 73 | 88 | 78 | 97 | 90 | 8 95 | 1898 | 83 | 91 | 74 | 89 | 79 | 98 | 91 | 8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 99 | 1900 | 84 | 92 | 75 | 90 | 80 | 99 | 92 | 8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The guy with lowest HP count, but highest AGL. Thanks to high DEX he doesn't miss a lot, and can evade quite swiftly as well. VIT leaves something to be desired for, but we can counteract that by the fact that equipping Swimsuit assures for many turns. All of his single techs are of physical nature and have piercing property. Because he doesn't have any element attributes associated with his normal techs, you must bestow one on him via Sword ethers, so that he is then able to participate in elemental chains. Jr also cannot launch the enemies into air or beat them down, but he does have other advantage - because he uses guns, all his attacks are long range and as such can hit any enemy. Good chrs to pair Jr up are Shion (hit-all-enemies double tech) and chaos (also hit-all-enemies double tech). -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ZIGGY -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- LV | HP | EP | STR | VIT | EATK | EDEF | DEX | EVA | AGL ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8 | 743 | 15 | 29 | 27 | 14 | 13 | 15 | 15 | 6 10 | 886 | 17 | 31 | 30 | 16 | 15 | 17 | 17 | 6 15 | 1228 | 22 | 36 | 35 | 21 | 20 | 22 | 22 | 6 20 | 1550 | 27 | 41 | 10 | 26 | 25 | 27 | 27 | 6 21 | 1612 | 28 | 42 | 41 | 27 | 26 | 28 | 28 | 6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 25 | 1852 | 32 | 46 | 45 | 31 | 30 | 32 | 32 | 6 30 | 2134 | 37 | 51 | 50 | 33 | 34 | 37 | 37 | 6 35 | 2397 | 42 | 56 | 55 | 34 | 35 | 42 | 42 | 6 40 | 2640 | 46 | 61 | 60 | 36 | 37 | 47 | 46 | 6 45 | 2863 | 47 | 66 | 65 | 37 | 38 | 52 | 47 | 6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 50 | 3066 | 48 | 71 | 70 | 38 | 39 | 57 | 48 | 6 55 | 3249 | 49 | 76 | 75 | 39 | 40 | 62 | 49 | 6 60 | 3412 | 51 | 81 | 80 | 41 | 42 | 67 | 51 | 6 65 | 3555 | 52 | 86 | 85 | 42 | 43 | 68 | 52 | 6 70 | 3678 | 53 | 90 | 89 | 43 | 44 | 69 | 53 | 6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 75 | 3781 | 54 | 91 | 90 | 44 | 45 | 70 | 54 | 6 80 | 3864 | 56 | 93 | 92 | 46 | 47 | 72 | 56 | 6 85 | 3928 | 57 | 94 | 93 | 47 | 48 | 73 | 57 | 6 90 | 3972 | 58 | 95 | 94 | 48 | 49 | 74 | 58 | 6 95 | 3996 | 59 | 96 | 95 | 49 | 50 | 75 | 59 | 6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 99 | 4000 | 60 | 97 | 96 | 50 | 51 | 76 | 60 | 6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The tank of the party. Bearing biggest HP and STR among all chrs, he can plow through enemies like they weren't there. Downsides are: low EDEF, EVA and AGL, making him susceptible to lot of hits. Equipping Swimsuit skill for him is crucial (read section 13 for more info on Ziggy's Swimsuit). Ziggy's single techs are all of physical nature and have fire attribute as well. Once you've endowed other two chrs with fire attribute via Flame Sword ether, you can use such party for a long elemental chain, amassing huge damage against the enemy. Once Ziggy does a Break on the enemy, he has the ability to knock that enemy onto the ground, thus producing Down effect. He is, however, unable to hit targets which are in Air effect, or are too high above ground. In such cases, you would have to cast an ether or perform Stock... So, to always be able to hit enemies with Ziggy, keep initiating Down effects. Ziggy would be good to pair up with KOS-MOS and Jr (hit-all-enemies double tech). In case you're facing a tough enemy with strong ether attacks, pull in either Shion or MOMO. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- JIN -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- LV | HP | EP | STR | VIT | EATK | EDEF | DEX | EVA | AGL ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8 | 352 | 18 | 20 | 18 | 19 | 14 | 22 | 16 | 7 10 | 596 | 23 | 26 | 23 | 24 | 19 | 27 | 21 | 7 15 | 827 | 28 | 31 | 28 | 29 | 24 | 32 | 26 | 7 20 | 1045 | 33 | 36 | 33 | 34 | 29 | 37 | 31 | 7 21 | 1087 | 34 | 37 | 34 | 35 | 30 | 38 | 32 | 7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 25 | 1249 | 38 | 41 | 38 | 39 | 34 | 42 | 36 | 7 30 | 1440 | 43 | 46 | 43 | 44 | 39 | 47 | 41 | 7 35 | 1617 | 48 | 51 | 48 | 49 | 44 | 52 | 46 | 7 40 | 1781 | 53 | 56 | 53 | 54 | 49 | 57 | 51 | 7 45 | 1932 | 58 | 61 | 58 | 59 | 54 | 62 | 56 | 7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 50 | 2068 | 63 | 66 | 63 | 64 | 59 | 67 | 61 | 7 55 | 2192 | 68 | 71 | 68 | 69 | 64 | 72 | 66 | 7 60 | 2302 | 73 | 76 | 73 | 74 | 69 | 77 | 71 | 7 65 | 2398 | 76 | 81 | 78 | 79 | 74 | 82 | 72 | 7 70 | 2482 | 77 | 84 | 81 | 81 | 76 | 85 | 73 | 7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 75 | 2552 | 78 | 85 | 82 | 82 | 77 | 86 | 74 | 7 80 | 2608 | 80 | 87 | 84 | 84 | 79 | 88 | 76 | 7 85 | 2651 | 81 | 88 | 85 | 85 | 80 | 89 | 77 | 7 90 | 2680 | 82 | 89 | 86 | 86 | 81 | 90 | 78 | 7 95 | 2696 | 83 | 90 | 87 | 87 | 82 | 91 | 79 | 7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 99 | 2700 | 84 | 91 | 88 | 88 | 83 | 92 | 80 | 7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jin also has nicely balanced stats, nothing too flashy, and nothing too crappy. Except for AGL, which as stated six times so far, should be increased via Swimsuit skill. Jin's single techs all belong to physical group, and have either slash or hit attribute. Because he doesn't have any element attributes associated with his normal techs, you must bestow one on him via Sword ethers, so that he is then able to participate in elemental chains. Once Jin manages a Break on the enemy, he has the ability of launching that enemy in the air, thus producing Air effect. Like KOS-MOS, Jin has no problems hitting enemies regardless of their positions. Good partner chrs to include are Shion (two double techs) and KOS-MOS (great choice for enemies, who possess strong physicals / ether attacks). =============================================================================== =============================================================================== 33.)

Its AGL is also something to be desired. In any case Asher can take a lot of physical punishment, but do take care to equip it with some accessories that boost EDEF. Use Asher's close range attacks VS enemies that use long range attacks, and use Asher's long range attacks VS enemies that use close range attacks. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- E.S DINAH -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- LV | HP | EP | POW | ARM | EATK | EDEF | DEX | EVA | AGL 21 | 11927 | 0 | 320 | 299 | 348 | 294 | 36 | 30 | 8 30 | 15878 | 0 | 403 | 374 | 434 | 374 | 45 | 39 | 8 40 | 19698 | 0 | 483 | 446 | 517 | 451 | 55 | 49 | 8 50 | 22918 | 0 | 550 | 507 | 587 | 516 | 65 | 59 | 8 60 | 25538 | 0 | 605 | 556 | 643 | 569 | 75 | 67 | 8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 70 | 27557 | 0 | 648 | 594 | 687 | 611 | 83 | 69 | 8 80 | 28970 | 0 | 678 | 620 | 718 | 639 | 86 | 72 | 8 90 | 29782 | 0 | 695 | 635 | 735 | 655 | 88 | 74 | 8 99 | 30000 | 0 | 700 | 640 | 740 | 660 | 90 | 76 | 8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dinah is in the golden middle. Although it has less HP, and lower POW and ARM, it has higher EATK and EDEF, and higher AGL, thus making it my preferred choice in mech battles.

Zebulun's HP, POW and ARM is the lowest, but it has the highest AGL and EVA, somewhat compensating for the disadvantages. A sneaky way to use Zebulun is to use Asher and Dinah to do all the battling, and when the fight is over, use Zebulun to recover HP for other two E.S (like with chrs, E.S in reserve recover 25% of MAX HP and MAX EP after each battle). =============================================================================== =============================================================================== 34.)

Use Zebulun (give it Auto Recover) and Asher along with Triangle attacks to get rid of single enemy in about 4-5 attacks. Dust Storm is very strong move, and can possibly take out Zebulun in two strikes, so Auto Recover is there to save your behind once. Once Dust Storm is used, becomes transparent - any attack it receives and it doesn't kill it, will prompt it to cboost and smack you one. Have Zebulun cast Ice Sword on Asher to make its Triangle attack even deadlier. ******************************************************************************* ENM068 ************************************************************************ ASHMED BAPUZ --------------------------------- STATISTICS ---------------------------------- HP | EXP | CPTS | SPTS | STR | VIT | EATK | EDEF | DEX | EVA | AGL 16000 | 6400 | 0 | 0 | 400 | 250 | 520 | 400 | 60 | 55 | 10 ----------------------- DAMAGE TAKEN FROM [...] ATTACKS ----------------------- Beam | Aura | Thund | Fire | Ice | Pierc | Slash | Hit | Phys | Ether 125% | 75% | 150% | 100% | 100% | 175% | 250% | 100% | Weak | Norm ------------------------------ STATUS RESISTANCE --------- Recovery rate: 100% Slow | Blind | Heavy | Weak | EthPD | EthDD | Junk | ResDw | Lost | Curse - | 60% | 60% | 60% | 50% | 50% | - | - | - | - ------------------------------- SPECIAL NOTE/S -------------------------------- Enemy type | Hit zone | Break | Boost? | CBoost? | Air effect? | Down effect?

Annihilation - (AttPow: 40) - NATTE VS one chr - noe etd, clears status effects -------------------------------- FIGHTING TIPS -------------------------------- There's only three of them in two battles and both times you'll find them with . is mainly a magic user and will be pelting you with various element attacks a lot. When low on HP, it can either recover HP or drain it from your chrs. You can't inflict H Lost on it (darn), but you can Curse it. Don't expect to last too long under favorable statuses, cos can cast Annihilation to remove them. In addition to that, can't be aired, and absorbs thunder and ice damage. Or if you have Erde Kaiser (type doesn't matter, you want to get rid of at least), do this: Shion with Ether Burst, EP Half, EATK+2, Double Power. Enter the battle, then cast Aura Sword and Ether Spear on Shion (if she has EKF with thunder summon damage, cast just Ether Spear) and make sure you Air all enemies found in battle. Boost Shion now and have her use EKF to squash guys. You win... or if thunder EKF was used, is still around. Well, without as supporting ally you should now have much easier job in removing as well. ******************************************************************************* ENM075 ************************************************************************ ARMAROS --------------------------------- STATISTICS ---------------------------------- HP | EXP | CPTS | SPTS | STR | VIT | EATK | EDEF | DEX | EVA | AGL 10400 | 7600 | 0 | 120 | 98 | 38 | 88 | 20 | 78 | 70 | 9 ----------------------- DAMAGE TAKEN FROM [...] ATTACKS ----------------------- Beam | Aura | Thund | Fire | Ice | Pierc | Slash | Hit | Phys | Ether 100% | 250% | 50% | 50% | 150% | 100% | 75% | 75% | Norm | Weak ------------------------------ STATUS RESISTANCE --------- Recovery rate: 100% Slow | Blind | Heavy | Weak | EthPD | EthDD | Junk | ResDw | Lost | Curse 80% | 80% | 75% | 75% | 60% | 60% | Immun | 80% | Immun | 0% ------------------------------- SPECIAL NOTE/S -------------------------------- Enemy type | Hit zone | Break | Boost? | CBoost? | Air effect? | Down effect?

Also, has a nasty tendency of cboosting your attacks, and then landing Tiger Sword, followed immediately by Snake Wave = dead chr or two. It also doesn't help your case to know that it can raise own AGL as well as STR (VIT drops in latter case, though). I'd say the best bet would be to cast Curse on it and let it kill itself. Or if you have Erde Kaiser (type doesn't matter, you want to get rid of at least), do this: Shion with Ether Burst, EP Half, EATK+2, Double Power. Enter the battle, then cast Aura Sword and Ether Spear on Shion (if she has EKF with thunder summon damage, cast just Ether Spear) and make sure you Air all enemies found in battle.
