CONTROLS [X Button] - Gun [Triangle Button] - Choose target [Circle Button] - Fire missile [Square Button] - Zoom map (pressure sensitive) [D-Pad Up] - Order wingman to attack selected target [D-Pad Left] - Order wingman to disperse and attack air or ground targets [D-Pad Right] - Allow/Disallow wingman's special weapon [D-Pad Down] - Order wingman to cover you.

This ace seeks strength and money. Soldier - An ace who destroys an equal amount of harmless and enemy targets. This ace can read the tide of battle Knight - An ace who destroys all enemy targets are spares all other, harmless targets. This ace lives for pride and honour. Mercenaries face the hardest enemies, knights face the easiest enemies. RADAR/HUD/MAP INFORMATION All yellow targets are neutral and harmless All red targets are harmful and must be killed to complete a mission All green targets are harmful but do not affect your ace style, nor is killing them necessary. Hitting any target will get you extra points. NOTE: The L3 Button (Target Circle) brings up a circle on your screen which locks on to the first target which passes through it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTRODUCTION TO THE GAME [INT] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The events of Ace Combat Zero take place 15 years before the events of Ace Combat 5 and 10 years before the happenings of Ace Combat 4. Basically, you start off as a mercenary for hire known as Cipher. During the course of the game, you learn nothing about your own self, not even your name. The country of Belka is invading the country of Ustio and have reached their last stronghold. You are hired by Ustio as a mercenary who eventually blossoms into an ace known as 'The Demon Lord of the Round Table'. In true Ace Combat style, you get to decide the fate of everyone around you while flying as 'Galm 1' with your wingman (Pixy/PJ) as Galm 2. Good Luck, Galm 1! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE AIRCRAFT [AIR] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- All aircraft that I have unlocked in the game have been listed in this section.

All you must do is to prevent the enemy bombers from reaching the edge of enemy airspace. Order Pixy to Disperse and attack air targets (See controls). Also allow his special weapons. Press triangle to lock on to an enemy within range and Circle to fire your missiles. Shoot down the planes as you see fit and according to which ace style you want to be. That's all you have to do in this mission. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- MISSION 02 - Annex / Operation Roselein ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recommended Plane: F5-E with Bombs or RCL Recommended Wingman Weapon: QAAM Location: 15-APR-95, Arlon This is an air-to-air/air-to-ground mission. To takeoff, light the afterburners and climb to about 3800 feet. Here the takeoff phase ends and the mission begins. Order Pixy to disperse and attack air targets (I feel that he is better at air-to-air combat than air-to-ground. Now advance and attack all the tanks, SAMs, and other targets with missiles, and your special weapon (I recommend a Rocket Launcher). Destroy the targets as you see fit. You may also choose wether to attack neutral (harmless) targets and take the mercenary path, or spare unnecessary targets and take the knight path. Striking a balance between the two makes you a soldier. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- MISSION 03 - The Round Table / Operation Choker One ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recommended Plane: F5-E with QAAM Recommended Wingman Weapon: XMAA Location: 20-APR-95, B7R For this mission you are taken to the strategic airspace of B7R. Order Pixy, as usual, to disperse and attack air targets. Now apply your afterburners and head for the cluster of Belkan fighters. Shoot down eight planes and a Belkan ace squadron will come and attack. This squadron will be different depending on your ace style: MERCENARY : Rot Squadron {Typhoon} SOLDIER : Grun Squadron {FA-18/C} KNIGHT : Indigo Squadron {JAS-39 C} Now, allow Pixy to use his special weapons as well. Keep turning as the aces will be shooting missiles at you very often. Climb to a high altitude such as 25,000 feet so you can see them. Now target them with your QAAM's and when you are within range fire two QAAMs at the enemy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- MISSION 04 - Juggernaut / Offensive Campaign No.4101 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location: 24-APR-95, Futuro Canal This mission contains three groups. You can choose which group to fly with as they all have different aims. [04 A] Gelnikos (F-1 - UGB) Clear out surface artillery, port facilities and the air squadron to clear out the Futuro Canal [04 B] Round Hammer (F-1 - UGB) Take out Belka's Naval Fleet stationed at the canal. This is not a hard mission. Frigates must only be hit by a missile once to sink, 2 missiles for destroyers, 3 for cruisers, and 4 for aegis. You may neutralise cruisers and aegis by destroying their AA guns and SAM's. [04 C] Costner (F-5E - QAAM) Order Pixy to disperse and attack air targets as usual and then simply destroy all enemy planes to complete the mission. You'll unlock the F-16/C, which will help you alot in the following missions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- MISSION 05 - Flicker of Hope / Operation Varsity ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recommended Plane: F-16C or other unlocked plane (XMAA) Recommended Wingman Weapon: QAAM Location: 12-MAY-95, Solis Ortus //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // NOTE: Buy whichever plane you unlocked in Mission 4, /// // which depends on the squadron you chose to join /// ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////// To start off with, give the usual order to Pixy, and the systematically attack all the ground targets. Once you get to drop zone one destroy the targets there and then proceed to the other two drop zones. I ignored all aerial attacks until I wiped out the ground forces. After that, concenrate on destroying the enemy planes in the area. Once these are eliminated, you complete the mission. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- MISSION 06 - Diapason / Operation Constantine ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recommended Plane: F-16C or other unlocked plane (XMAA) Recommended Wingman Weapon: QAAM Location: 13-MAY-95, Directus Order Pixy to disperse and attack all air targets. The majority of targets are on the ground. Make sure you can see them clearly before firing, because some are hidden behind buildings. This way you can prevent wastage of missiles (which you will need in the latter part of the mission.) There are five sectors which you will need to liberate. Once you have destroyed all targets and liberated all the sectors, the Gelb squadron (comprised of two SU-37s) will come and attack. These aces are good at evading missiles, so fly straight at them and shoot at them with your special weapon and your missiles. Also order Pixy to use his special weapon to destroy the enemy fighters. Shoot them down to complete the mission. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- MISSION 07 - Bastion / Operation Hell Bound ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recommended Plane: A-10A Warthog (XAGM) Recommended Wingman Weapon: QAAM Location: 17-MAY-95, Mount Ivrea //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // NOTE: Purchase the A-10A Warthog as it will make the /// // make the mission quite easy /// ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Order Pixy to attack air targets. The important thing to remember in this mission is that you do not have to destroy each and every enemy weapon. You just need to get 16,000 points before time runs out. You may also return to base to rearm. I recommend you do this if your damage is above 80 percent, you have less than 20 missiles, or 0 special weapons. Now, systematically destroy most of the enemy artillery on the way to the control tower. To destroy an 'approach' you must be lined up so that your missile will go in the hole and not hit the concrete. Now destroy the Control Tower (6 missiles/constant gun hits). Proceed towards the Ramparts. Destroy these and everything around them. Now get to the ACC and destroy all the planes on the ground. You should have a score of more than 12,000 by now. Destroy some more ground targets or some yellow targets (more points). Once you get 16,000 points, the mission is accomplished. Even if you return to base to refuel, follow the same plan. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- MISSION 08 - Merlon / Operation Dynamo ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location: 19-APR-95, Shayne Plain This mission contains three groups. You can choose which group to fly with as they all have different aims. Recommended Plane: Mirage 2000D [08 A] Alpha Team Neutralise the enemy's defense line. Order Pixy to disperse and attack air targets. Destroy the gunboats with your gun and then proceed to attack the other targets. After destroying all targets, you will be told to fly towards the Allied transport planes. Don't bother doing this. After 5 seconds a short cinematic showing 3 Allied planes being destroyed will appear. Now you must avoid the laser's beam. Continue South. To evade the laser's beam, simply apply the airbrakes and make a sharp turn left or right to evade the laser. [08 B] Beta Team Destroy all targets after giving your wingman the usual order. After destroying all targets, you will be told to fly towards the Allied transport planes. Don't bother doing this. After 5 seconds a short cinematic showing 3 Allied planes being destroyed will appear. Now you must avoid the laser's beam. Continue South. To evade the laser's beam, simply apply the airbrakes and make a sharp turn left or right to evade the laser. [08 C] Theta Team The objective here is to shoot down all enemy fighters. There are plenty of them, so make sure you bring a plane with plenty of missiles as well. Continue destroying targets until no more targets appear on the map, and no new ones show up. After destroying all targets, you will be told to fly towards the Allied transport planes. Don't bother doing this. After 5 seconds a short cinematic showing 3 Allied planes being destroyed will appear. Now you must avoid the laser's beam. Continue South. To evade the laser's beam, simply apply the airbrakes and make a sharp turn left or right to evade the laser. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Here's an excellent tip from DuRay Petersen for the last part of this mission: "I have found that if you fly in a zigzag pattern when trying to exit the combat area in mission 8A, B, or C it is much easier to avoid the laser. Also never let off the afterburners unless you have to turn hard to avoid the laser. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- MISSION 09 - Sword of Annihilation / Operation Judgement ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recommended Plane: F-16C (UGBL) Recommended Wingman Weapon: QAAM Location: 23-MAY-95, Tauberg You will not be able to target in this mission at first because of the jammers in the area. You must destroy the jammers before going forth and destroying the laser weapon, Excalibur. This is a little harder than it sounds because Excalibur itself is not dormant either. It will fire laser bursts at you. These will be displayed as a red area on your map. You must stay out of the red area to avoid getting grilled. Fly at top speed towards the Eastern or Western jammers. Once you get close, point your nose in the direction of the jammer and fire to missiles or your UGBL to destroy it. Then head to the next closest jammer and repeat. All the time, you must avoid the laser bursts from Excalibur. Once you destroy all the jammers, head towards the weapon itself. Target Excalibur. It will need eight missiles to destroy. After that systematically destroy all the other artillery and the smaller laser beamers. In the end, aim 10 missiles at the mid-section of Excalibur to destroy it. After this, your mission is accomplished! Brilliant tip from DuRay Petersen: "Enter the mission in any plane with FAEB's (from now on they'll be FAE's). Head directly towards any jammer, preferably the one to the far right or left. Instead of taking it out right away and risking hits for AA, just drop an FAE on top of the area. Do the same for the rest of the areas, then head back to clean up the jammers. Once that's done, you can head for Excalibur itself. Personally, just because i get tired of dodging them, i would drop an FAE on every single rail artillery piece I see. This won't destroy them, but it will make it easier for you to get them the next time around" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- MISSION 10 - Mayhem / Operation Battle Axe ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recommended Plane: F-15C (QAAM) Recommended Wingman Weapon: QAAM Location: 28-MAY-95, B7R //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // NOTE: Sell all your aircraft, and buy the 15-C and /// // QAAM's for it as well /// ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Order Pixy to attack air targets. This is a purely air to air mission. Once you gain about 7,000 to 8,000 points, an ace squadron depending on your ace style will show up: MERCENARY : Shwarze Squadron {Mig-31} SOLDIER : Schnee Squadron {F-14D x4, EA-6B x1} KNIGHT : Silber Squadron {F-4E x1, F-16C x4} As usual do not fire special weapons at the enemy aces unless you have a very good angle. Shoot down the aces to complete the mission. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- MISSION 11 - The Inferno / Operation Cannibal ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recommended Plane: F-15C (QAAM) Recommended Wingman Weapon: QAAM Location: 1-JUN-95, Hoffnung Order Pixy to do the usual things. Destroy all air and ground targets. Once the mission updates appear, destroy the jammer to clear your radar. Destroy all stealth craft to complete the mission. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- MISSION 12 - The Stage of Apocalypse / Operation Ravage ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recommended Plane: SU-37 (XLAA) Recommended Wingman Weapon: UGBL Location: 1-JUN-95, Hoffnung ////////////////////////////////////// // NOTE: Buy an SU-37 Terminator /// //////////////////////////////////// No, I'm not joking. Load Pixy with bombs, and you'll see why during the latter half of the mission. Try and shoot all of the targets as fast as you can. After five minutes / when you shoot down the bombers, you see a bright light and the sky turns a ghostly colour. Then comes the sound of a nuclear explosion and your aircrafts electronics go haywire. A missile alert message appears on the screen but this is false. Now Pixy becomes your enemy. Dodge his missiles and keep away from him as you fly towards the enemy craft. (Now you understand why I warned you not to arm him with QAAMs or XLAA's!). Destroy the enemy craft to complete the mission. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- MISSION 13 - Lying in Deceit / Operation Stone Age ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recommended Plane: SU-37 (XLAA) Recommended Wingman Weapon: XMAA Location: 13-JUN-95, Mount Shirm This is another simple and boring mission in which you must achieve 20,000 points. Methodically destroy ground and air targets and order PJ to do as you like. (PJ, I have seen can also destroy ground targets well.) Once you get 20,000 points, the mission ends. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- MISSION 14 - The Final Overture / Operation Broom ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recommended Plane: SU-37 (XLAA) Recommended Wingman Weapon: XMAA Location: 20-JUN-95, Anfang [14 A] Mars Strike Team This is a simple mission if you take care of the SAM's. Use your weapons to destroy the targets on the ground or drop an FAE bomb to take care of them all. There are also civilian areas here, though, so pick out your enemies carefully if you want to take the Knight path. [14 B] Mercury Strike Team Fly to the first base and destroy all aircraft on the ground at first. Then destroy those who have taken off. Fly to the second base and do the same to complete the mission. [14 C] Jupiter Strike Team Eliminate 6 jammers to make this mission much easier. Destroy all the other aircraft and those who are trying to take off from the tunnel while they are still on the ground. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- MISSION 15 - The Talon of Ruin / Operation Valkyrie ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recommended Plane: SU-37 (XLAA) Recommended Wingman Weapon: XMAA Location: 25-DEC-95, Unknown Area Follow the XB-O on radar. Once you are close enough a squadron of aces (Espada Squadron - J35J and Rafale M) will appear. These two are brilliant at their evasive manuevers, so I recommend firing only if you get a lock on at below 250 feet distance. Now you may destroy the XB-O or the SU-37's. To destroy the XB-O target the guns above and below it (1 missile hit). After that, destroy the engines, ABMs, and Guns. Use the XLAA's for these. Now only the cockpit remains. This is a difficult foe since it is located at the front of the plane. You could fly over the plane and drop an FAE bomb on it, or come back from around and shoot missiles from the front if you are not such a good aimer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- MISSION 16 - The Demon of the Round Table / Operation Thunderbolt ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recommended Plane: SU-37 (XLAA) Recommended Wingman Weapon: XMAA Location: 31-DEC-95, B7R Fly towards the direction indicated on the map. Now a squadron of aces will come up. You will be engaging a different squadron depending on your ace style: MERCENARY : Sorcerer Squadron {F-15/S MTD x8} SOLDIER : Gault Squadron {Su-47 x8} KNIGHT : Wizard Squadron {F-16XL x4, YF-23A x4} Battle and defeat the aces to complete the mission. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- MISSION 17 - The Valley of Kings ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recommended Plane: SU-37 (XLAA) Recommended Wingman Weapon: XMAA Location: 31-DEC-95, Avalon Dam In the ravine, apply full thrust and try to get to the dam as fast as you can. If you can destroy enemy artillery while you're at it, that's great, however, I didn't bother doing so except for a few SAMs and some planes I locked on to with my XLAA's. When you get to the dam, fly in to the opening that leads underground. Be very careful, because even if you make a slight mistake you'll touch the walls and die. On the first sector, destroy as many targets as you can. Even if you can't destroy all of them, go on to the seond sector and repeat. After killing targets in the third sector, fly out, make a 360 degree turn. Fly in again and destroy all the remaining targets in all three sectors and fly out again. Fly in for the final time and aim at the first V2 control section. Fire two missiles at it to destroy it and do the same for the remaining to sectors. Fly out again and the mission is accomplished. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- MISSION 18 - Zero / Operation Point Blank ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recommended Plane: SU-37 (XLAA) Recommended Wingman Weapon: No wingman Location: 31-DEC-95, Avalon Dam This mission may seem very challenging at first, but rest assured that you will be able to complete it in the end. You will start out facing Pixy head-on. DO NOT fire your XLAA's at him right now because he will evade them easily. Instead, switch to missiles and fly towards him. When you are within range, shoot two missiles at him and then try your best to stay on his tail. Shoot only when you get a good angle though, because you will have to make use of the same missiles in the other two phases. Shoot at him 6 times to end the phase. Do the same in phase two, evading the burst missiles that he is shooting at you till the cinematic. After the cinematic, you will be facing each other head-on again. Fire away when you are within range. Then keep flying straight and turn around whenever you can face him head-on. When you get a lock-on at head on, immediately shoot and dive up or down because he will also shoot at you. Shoot six missiles head-on to complete the third and final phase. Congratulations, Galm 1, your campaign is complete! I salute you, Demon Lord of the Round Table! //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // NOTE: If you are stuck on any mission, check out the /// //last question in the FAQs at the end of this guide. /// ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- SP MISSION - The Gauntlet ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recommended Plane: ADFX-01 or ADF-01 This mission is unlocked after you've shot down all the ace squadrons in the game: Rot, Grun, Indigo, Gelb, Schwarze, Schnee, Silber, Espada, Sorcerer, Gault & Wizard. You'll have to defeat 5 ace squadrons, which are chosen randomly except for Gelb and Espada within the thirty minute time limit. You may return to base to ressuply and repair your plane. I recommend you use the Morgan or the Falken for this mission, though even an SU-37 or X-02 will be good enough. Also, you get the chance to fight the F/A-22A Mobius one on one, instead of the usual squadron in the final round. However, there are two requirements to make him spawn: - You must be playing on ACE difficulty - Shoot down Espada within one minute. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- WEAPONS [WEP] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================== AIR TO GROUND ================== Weapon : Bomblet Dispenser (BDSP) Stats : Air-to-Ground, Spread Bomb Description : These bomblets will damage a cluster of targets in front of you Weapon : Fuel Air Explosive Bomb (FAEB) Stats : Air-to-Ground, Spread Bomb Description : Most targets within its large radius will be instantly elimnated. This bomb is highly recommended for air-to-ground missions. Weapon : Guided Penetration Bomb (GPB) Stats : Air-to-Ground, Homing, Spread Bomb Description : This bomb will surely hit your target as it is equipped with a homing device. However, it has a much smaller blast radius than unguided bombs such as the FAEB Weapon : Long-Range Air-to-Ground Missile (LAGM) Stats : Air-to-Ground, Homing, Multi TGT Description : Long Range Air-to-Ground Missile capabble of destroying 4 targets at a time. Weapon : LASM -- Long-Range Air-to-Surface Missile Stats : Air-to-Ground, Homing Description : Air-to-Ship/Air-to-Ground missile that packs a punch with a good lock-on range. Weapon : Napalm Bomb (NPB) Stats : Air-to-Ground, Spread Bomb Description : Useful against small targets, which are incinerated, but useless against larger targets. Weapon : Rocket Launcher (RCL) Stats : Air-to-Ground, Spread Bomb Description : Launches multiple exploding missiles that are useful for destroying a cluster of targets. Weapon : Stand-Off Dispenser (SOD) Stats : Air-to-Ground, Homing, Spread Bomb Description : Bomblet dispenser with a lock-on feature Weapon : Unguided Bomb (UGB) Stats : Air-to-Ground, Spread Bomb Description : Large blast radius, difficult to aim. Weapon : Unguided Bomb Large (UGBL) Stats : Air-to-Ground, Spread Bomb Description : Very wide blast radius, but same problem as its sibling. Weapon : Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Ground Missile (XAGM) Stats : Air-to-Ground, Homing, Multi TGT Description : Shorter range than the LAGM, but capable of destroying upto four ground targets in an instant. ============= AIR TO AIR ============= Weapon : Quick Maneuver Air-to-Air Missile (QAAM) Stats : Air-to-Air, Homing Description : Same lock-on range as a normal missile, but if it misses, turns around and pursues its target until it runs out of fuel. Weapon : Semi-Active Air-to-Air Missile (SAAM) Stats : Air-to-Air, Homing Description : You must keep the target within the circle for the missile to track it down. Weapon : Advanced Long-Range Air-to-Air Missile (XLAA) Stats : Air-to-Air, Homing, Multi TGT Description : Simultaneous targeting of up to 4 aircrafts. The range of this missile makes it a very effective weapon from afar, but doesn't do much good in close range combat. Weapon : Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile (XMAA) Stats : Air-to-Air, Homing, Multi TGT Description : Identical to the XLAA but with a shorter range. =========== SPECIAL =========== Weapon : Electronic Countermeasure Pod (ECMP) Stats : Jamming/Electronics Description : Fire one of these pods to make a missile lose track of your plane. Weapon : Multi-Purpose Burst Missile (MPBM) Stats : Air-to-Air, Air-to-Ground, Homing, Spread Bomb Description : Has a slightly shorter lock-on range than the XLAA. Its QAAM-like qualities make it a very effective weapon. Explodes in 3 bursts upon impacting a target. Its fair size blast radius destroys most of the units nearby. You have to wait about 4 seconds before you can fire again, after each shot. Weapon : Tactical Laser System (TLS) Stats : Air-to-Air, Air-to-Ground Description : This laser destroys any target instantly regardless of size. It lasts about 7 seconds for the Falken and three for the Morgan. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // NOTE: Some weapons may be missing from the list since /// // I have not unlocked all planes/weapons in the game. /// ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXTRAS [EXT] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- +------+ |MEDALS| +------+ Deliverance Bell: Complete Mission 6.

Yes, PJ is dead. The flowers next to the bodworky of a plane| |propped up next to a tree is PJ's grave. The laser that Pixy sends | |through is plane blows the bottom part of the plane off and it | |almost certainly made it through to the cockpit. Way back, one | |of Namco's officials confirmed this, so no more debate for us | |gamers then. | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Q) What do the symbols displayed under a plane's name signify? | |-------------------------------------------------------------- | |A) The symbols represent the kill tally of a plane. | | | | [1 PACMAN FIGURE] - 100 kills | | [1 GHOST] - 10 kills | | [1 PELLET] - 1 kill | | | | NOTE: The Pacman figures will only appear if you have more than | | 765 kills with that aircraft. | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Q) How do I unlock the other difficulty modes? | |---------------------------------------------- | |A) Once you complete campaign mode in Hard Difficulty level, you | | unlock Expert difficulty level. Completing Expert difficulty | | level unlocks Ace difficulty level, the hardest difficulty level | | in the game. | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Q) I'm stuck on one mission. What should I do? | |---------------------------------------------- | |A) Read my guide carefully. Follow all the steps I have outlined | | and try again. If you are stuck at a particular point, try | | e-mailing me with your predicament or post on the Ace Combat Zero | | forum for help. And most importantly, keep trying! | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Q) I want to be a soldier, but I am always a knight or a mercenary!| |------------------------------------------------------------------ | |A) Try to to balance it out at the end of each mission. If you are | | a mercenary after the end of a mission, spare all neutral targets | | in the next mission so that the bar will slide towards the soldier| | ace style. Try sparing about half of the neutral targets and | | destroying half.
