/| --------o----------\ Simulator |/ | (00001) \----------------------------------------------------o

o------- Item Checklist -------o After all the cutscenes at the start of the| | game you will find yourself in a white| Med Kit S.............._____ | tutorial area. Speak to KOS-MOS, the robot

| Med Kit S.............._____ | girl on your right and depending on which| Med Kit................_____ | type of attack you select you can learn| Revive................._____ | about each one. Selecting "Real Combat"| Ether Pack............._____ | will send you into a normal fight where all| Med Kit S.............._____ | the combat options are available to you.| Med Kit S.............._____ | The enemies will attack you at this time but| Mission Key............_____ | the danger is laughably minimal. Use a| | combination of the square and triangleo------------------------------o attack buttons to lay waste to the enemies.

Fo1llowing the fight you will learn aboutthis new area, encounters in this game are triggered by coming into physicalcontact with the enemy. You will notice a number of different coloured barrelsaround, these can be detonated by pressing the square button while

standingdudeeby and will cripple enemies in different ways depending on whatcolour the barrel is. Use them to your advantage when trying to avoid battle.

There's a ladder to the West, ascend it to the top and walk forward. You cansee here that it is possible to shoot both the door and the barrel through thewindow, press the R1 button to target the barrel and shoot it before going intothe room. When you encounter the enemy you will automatically start with oneboost for each character. Open the chest in there to receive two 'Med Kit S.'Climb down the ladder and fight your way past the enemies down here, it ispossible to avoid them but preferable to fight so you can level up faster. Tothe right of the yellow barrel is a broken down pickup truck. Blow it up toclear the path and follow the walkway South to reach a door you can smash,inside you'll find a 'Med Kit.' Now head North and go through the large

opening to reach the next area.

Climb the stairs on your right and follow the path around until you reach afork with a red barrel. Head South and smash the box in your way to unblockthe path leading down to a crate containing 'Revive.' Head back North and goleft at the fork, then into the door. Follow the path to trigger a scene.There's a battle here but it's more like a tutorial than a real fight. It willteach you how to select the A.G.W.S. option to use your giant robot in battle.KOS-MOS unfortunately does not have an A.G.W.S. so she should just stick withnormal attacks here. Select one of the two A.G.W.S. attacks and have Shion use


3/56

to it to more than likely end the fight.

Approach that spinning yellow object and press the circle button to bring upthe save menu. Take the Southeast stairs down but don't go into the door,instead descend the ladder on your left and head South to find a room withquite a few crates containing 'Ether Pack' and two 'Med Kit S.' Further pastthose two crates is a magic red door. This door just so happens to be SegmentAddress No. 10. At this point in the game you can't open it, but later whenyou find the key that fits this particular door you can return and get thetreasure that sits inside. If you destroyed the create on the West side you'lltrigger a battle with some ugly looking drones which are actually quitedifficult. Return to the ladder and climb up, then go into the East door.

Sitting and shining on the lower desk is the 'Mission Key,' not surprisinglyyou will need this to complete your mission. Examine the door on the rightside of this room to unlock it and head through, be careful of that mammothrobot guard hovering around this hall. I would recommend getting to levelthree before going any further, it really doesn't take long at all. Examinethe glowing panel beside the door at the bottom of the stairs and head through.When you arrive get ready and then watch the scene...

O============================================================================O| Boss: Drone GX |O===========o============o============o============o============o============O

| HP: 420 | Exp: 100 | G: 0 | T.Pts: 24 | E.Pts: 12 | S.Pts: 8 |o-----------o------------o------------o------------o------------o------------o| || This fight is extremely easy, but what else can you expect from the first || real boss fight of the game. Basically select the A.G.W.S option for || Shion and then just tap the square button for the remainder of the battle. || In the event that the boss goes into guard mode just guard yourself or || heal because this means the boss can do a nasty counterattack. || |o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

After the fight, watch the scene and the simulation is done.


/| --------o----------\ Woglinde |/ | (00002) \----------------------------------------------------o

o------- Item Checklist -------o Take a few steps to the South and speak to| | the buy kneeling beside the red simulator| Battle Passport........_____ | machine. Tell him you wish to return to the| Maintenance Data......._____ | simulator world. Go North and into the room| Drill Passport........._____ | where you just fought the boss, inside you| Med Kit S.............._____ | will find a red crate with a treasure chest| Segment File..........._____ | hidden within. The chest contains the

| Med Kit................_____ | 'Battle Passport' which allows you to play| Escape Pack............_____ | one of Xenosaga's four minigames. Use the| Frame Repair A........._____ | terminal beside the chest to return to the| Frame Repair A........._____ | Woglinde. Navigate around to the door| Frame Repair Z........._____ | leading out of this room to the East and a| Frame Repair Z........._____ | scene will occur. As you run down the hall| 200G..................._____ | you'll be interrupted by something, it's a| Veil..................._____ | new email! Throughout the game you will get| Veil..................._____ | a number of different emails throughout the| 200G..................._____ | game and quite a few of them can even be


4/56

| Revive DX.............._____ | replied to! You can check your email at any| Decoder 7.............._____ | time by selecting the U.M.N. from the menu.| Robot Part Right Arm..._____ || Crewman's Key.........._____ | Head South for a couple of cutscenes then| SMP53AG................_____ | continue East along the path. Before| Ether Pack............._____ | entering leaving this walkway talk to the guy| Med Kit................_____ | at the Southeast corner. He'll tell you he| Bio Sphere............._____ | has some secret information to share and ask| Revive................._____ | your email address, be sure to give it to| Revive................._____ | him. Now head through the door to the| Med Kit S.............._____ | Northeast and watch the scene. As you run| Ether Pack S..........._____ | North you'll be stopped by Shion saying she| Decoder 18............._____ | needs something from her room. Shion's room| Bio Sphere............._____ | is down the North hall so take that path at| Stim..................._____ | the fork. Examine the red door on your way| Coat-Lightning........._____ | there to receive Segment Address No. 18.| Escape Pack............_____ | Just beyond this the door on the right leads| Revive................._____ | to Shion's room. Examine the object on the| Revive................._____ | desk to receive 'Maintenance Data.' Save| Revive................._____ | your game at the terminal, then you can rest| | in the bed if you like. With all that out ofo------------------------------o the way try to leave the room only to receive

another email. Leave and proceed South.

Turn and follow the West branch at the fork and enter the door to see a scene.After the scene you need to speak to all the people in the room who arepositioned on the angled platforms. Once you do try and go through the Northdoor to trigger another scene, then another when you actually go through it.Turn around now and go directly South again, in the middle of the room with allthe Realians you'll receive an email. Read it all the way through and try andabsorb everything, then cancel out for a quick conversation with the littlerabbit thing. Now that you've considered it you have the option of replying,doing so is highly recommended. Choose the first option which is "I Will HelpYou." With this out of the way head back North and follow the linear pathuntil you reach a blockade. Speak to the man on the left.

Agree to help this mentally unstable Mr. Driller. Doing this is quite a simple

process, basically everything you do is controlled with the square button andyou have two chances to push it. Holding it the first time will move the drillupward and letting go then holding it again will move the drill to the right.Press the R2 button to change the camera angle, I find the overhead view is byfar the easiest to aim. Drill away all the junk scattered around the floor andthe man will be so happy that he rewards you with a 'Drill Passport,' a ticketto play another of Xenosaga's four minigames which is played virtuallyidentically to what you just did, except with prizes. Mr. Driller also rewardsyou with a 'Med Kit S' for doing such a great job.

As you head North you'll be interrupted by yet another email. Make your waythrough the door at the top and enter the first door on your left, be sure tosave your game here. Back in the main hall don't bother checking the other

door because it's locked, keep going up until you come to a brach in the path,there is a lounge area on your left, as you approach it you'll receive anotheremail. You can reply to this one, do so and select "I Read Your Secret Email"as the message you send back. Now follow the hall Northeas into the door.There's a man here who will give you a tutorial on those special SegmentAddress doors. He gives you the 'Segment File' which will help you on yourquest to find them all. Examine the door beside him to discover SegmentAddress No. 7. Just a few steps East of here you receive an email. It may bean advertisement, but it's certainly a nifty little feature.


5/56

Make your way down the hall to the Northwest, you'll find two men standing onthe left near the end. Speak to the one further away from you to trigger alittle minigame. It's a simple game of tag where these two guys are going tobe chasing you, your goal is to get to the area behind where they start but ifyou run directly at them you'll be caught. Instead what you should do is runNorth where there's a big rectangular obstacle thing in the middle of thefloor, simply run around it in either direction and they will follow you makingit easy to avoid them entirely. Your reward for this menial task is a 'MedKit.' Head Northwest, you'll see a treasure chest but you can't access it atthe moment, just enter the room above. Speak to the man in the orange suitstanding on the right side to be able to make some purchases.

At the upper right hand corner of this o- Woglinde (Item) ------------ohangar is a worker who will allow you to use | |the A.G.W.S. simulator. You can fight one | Med Kit..................20G |on one A.G.W.S. battles with Shion here and | Ether Pack...............40G |get some really decent experience. Leave | Escape Pack..............20G |the hangar and run to the East. Through the | Bio Sphere..............120G |door the path will curve to the South, here | Revive...................60G |you will discover the Segment Address No. | |16. Enter the room beside it and save your o- Woglinde (Acc) -------------ogame, ignore the treasure chest for now | |because you have no means to break the | Uniform.................100G |glass. Now you can finally follow this | Protector................80G |

hallway all the way around until you reach a | |double set of orange glass doors. Open them o------------------------------oup and take the elevator up to the bridgefor a scene. After the scene you'll get an email, then ride the elevator down.The loudspeaker informs you of your awaiting package in the hangar, take thelong way there by going East, the reason will become clear in a second. As thepath leads North there is a plant object in the middle, you must go around thisto the LEFT side in order to trigger a new email. Assuming you have 500G youcan invest in a company and get some serious payout later, the best of these isresultant from chooseing "I Will Invest in Vector." Now return to the A.G.W.S.hangar at the Northwest end of the ship.

Speak to the man in green on the left side to receive the M.W.S., Shion's odd

looking weapon from the simulation. When you leave the hangar Shion mentionsthat she is tired so now you have to return to her room. It's pretty much justa matter of running South until you come to that fork just below the hallwayleading to her room. If you take the South path and run all the way back tothe simulation laboratory, you will receive an email when you run along theWestern wall, but unless you really want all the emails including the mostpointless ones then it's not worth going that far out of your way for. Headback to Shion's room to trigger a lengthy scene when you enter.

If you didn't get any Escape Pack items when you were buying from that guy inthe hangar it means you can't get in any battles at all without instant gameover. With this in mind you're surely going to want to save your game usingthe terminal in Shion's room. When you get into a battle with the one above

you Shion automatically runs away and a scene triggers. Head East and pressthe second switch on the wall above you to shut the door and protect yourself.Further along the hall you'll reach a yellow Gnosis enemy, the button on theright side in the little area will turn on a display screen and distract theenemy enough for you to get by. Around the next couple of corners you'llencounter another Gnosis. When it starts chasing you run into the office toget away, now you can safely proceed. Save and and leave here for a scene.

Follow the hallway to the West and climb the ladder in the next room. There'sa flashing green button up here, press it to suck all the Gnosis monsters out


6/56

into space. Go down the ladder and continue West and talk to the tag guy whois sitting just a little bit South of where the two guys were standing when youplayed the tag game originally. Now go into the hangar and talk to the guy onthe right side, he'll give you the Vaporizer Plug-in along with selling yousome items. At the top part of the hangar there's two crates and one computerpanel you can blow up to find 'Escape Pack,' two 'Frame Repair A,' and two'Fram Repair Z.' Now leave the hangar and take a look at that chest in themiddle of all the wreckage. There are two enemies guarding it who aren't goingto let you through under any circumstances. To get to the chest what you needto do is stand right up to the brown crate on the left side and one of theGnosis will destroy the crate. Now quickly run up to the top of this area andstand right beside one of those yellow lights. One of the enemies willapproach you and get stuck in the electrical discharge of the panel, do thesame with the other enemy at the other panel then you are free to pick up the'200G' from the crate and two 'Veil' form the treasure chest.

Head East away from here and look for that soldier who told you to get thePlug-in to see that he isn't in very good shape. Run North and destroy thathuge block then climb the ladder, inside these two crates are '200G' and'Revive DX.' Head South down the hall and destroy the big pile of cars, nowget ready. If you played the tag game you'll be familiar with this, thesituation is exactly the same except with the Gnosis instead of friendlyshipmates, and a greusome bloody death instead of "Haha you lose!" if you'recaught. You're actually faster than they are so keep an eye on your radar and

maybe even allow them to catch up a bit, you don't want one of them to catch onto you and go around the other side because he was so far away. After thechase you'll meet up with Sgt. Swaine again automatically and receive the'Decoder 7.' The Decoders are what open those red doors, so now you can openup door number seven which coincedentally happens to be just above you. Insideis a chest containing the 'Robot Part Right Arm.'

Proceed South through the door to trigger a cutscene. Examine the body on theground directly beside you to receive the 'Crewman's Key.' Now you can unlockthe door on the left leading to a room with a chest containing 'SMP53AG.'Leave this room and go into the one below it to save your game. Now leave theroom and head South for yet another scene. Following this is a boss fight.

O============================================================================O| Boss: Cyclops |O=================o===================o============o============o============O| HP: 560 | Exp: 560 | T.Pts: 30 | E.Pts: 16 | S.Pts: 24 |o-----------------o-------------------o------------o------------o------------o| || The difficulty of this fight really depends on your ability to keep your || thumb off the triangle button. The triangle ether attacks will charge || up the boss' counter boost and cause it to counterattack with a powerful || laser strike that hits your entire party. If you use the square button || melee attacks this will never occur and you'll be home free. The only one || problem is that Shion's attacks are extremely pitiful against this boss || and healing/guarding will be virtually all she's used for in this fight. |

| |o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

When you have control of Shion once again destroy the vending machine and plantstand above you to find 'Ether Pack' and 'Med Kit.' There's an enemy nearbybut don't worry, you can safely attack them now. If you go East a quick littlecamera pan will show to a red coloured switch in the office, go in there andpress the button. Now follow the hallway North and save your game in Shion'sroom, you can heal as well. Head North and blow up the object in the middle ofthe floor to reveal a 'Bio Sphere.' You can use the yellow barrel to hinder


7/56

the movement of the enemies. Now go through the door past the fiery wreckageabove you. Smash the object in the centre to receive two 'Revive' items, thenmake your way East down the hall.

Up the path in that small area where you turned on the monitor for the Gnosisenemy last time are some objects you can break revealing 'Med Kit S' and 'EtherPack S.' Further North still you will reach that glass office. Now you canuse your Vaporizer to smash the glass and gain access to the treasure chestwhich contains 'Decoder 18.' This Decoder works on the red door just belowShion's room, avoid going back there yet though, you'll have the chance soon.Head West to the next area then run South where you'll encounter an enemy inthe tag hallway, just run South and stop him by blowing up that red barrel.Destroy the object in the centre of the Southern room to receive 'Bio Sphere'and then return back to the South. Keep following this hallway down until youreach a bridge. Beside the flaming hole are four crates, the bottom of whichhides a treasure chest containing 'Stim.' Now that you've got this you need togo back North and take the Eastern hall at the first fork you come to, the onewhere Sgt. Swaine's body lies crouched on the ground...

When you reach the orange doors leading to the elevator in that central hallagain, take the South doors. This will lead you back to Shion's room onceagain, use the Decoder 18 to get into the red door below her room and open thechest to receive 'Coat-Lightning.' Save and heal in Shion's room, then go allthe way South past the Gnosis eating the mech. When you come to the yellow

Gnosis take the West path which is somewhat hard to see, it leads to two largecrates, the lower hiding an enemy and the upper containing an 'Escape Pack.'Run down across the metal walkway and blow up the four panels against the wallbeside the large Gnosis enemy to find three 'Revive' items. Make your waySouth and watch the scene when you go through the door, get ready for...

O============================================================================O| Boss: Minotaur |O=================o===================o============o============o============O| HP: 920 | Exp: 150 | T.Pts: 42 | E.Pts: 30 | S.Pts: 12 |o-----------------o-------------------o------------o------------o------------o| || Have Shion get into her A.G.W.S. right at the beginning of this fight, |

| there are two smaller enemies here which you'll have to take care of || before the actual boss, each Sky Fish have 240 HP. KOS-MOS should do a || single attack so that she charges two AP for the next turn and then use || her R-CANNON. Shion's submachine gun A.G.W.S attack is perfectly || effective, the A.G.W.S. probably won't need to be healed but you might || have to use a Med Kit S on KOS-MOS near the end of the fight. || |o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

o------- Item Checklist -------o After all those cutscenes I highly recommend| | you use that save point on your right. Head| Scope.................._____ | North and then East to find two crates you| Ether Upgrade S........_____ | can destroy, inside you'll find 'Scope' and| Ether Upgrade S........_____ | in the tube there are two 'Ether Upgrade S.'| Revive................._____ | Follow the Northeast path and watch the| Revive................._____ | scene. In this section you should use your| Snake Hunter..........._____ | radar in order to determine where the enemies


8/56

| Decoder 11............._____ | are. The hard floor will make noise when you| Veil..................._____ | run on it so hold R2 to walk. Carefully walk| Veil..................._____ | East to reach the next room. In this room| Med Kit S.............._____ | there are two objects you can blow up just| Bio Sphere............._____ | through the archway, the lower contains two| Ether Pack S..........._____ | 'Revive' and the upper has a hidden breakable| Revive................._____ | wall behind it. Go through and open the| 100G..................._____ | chest at the top to receive 'Snake Hunter.'| Master Key............._____ | Break the stone tablet just above it to| Speed Stim............._____ | reveal Segment Address No. 4. Head back down| Decoder 4.............._____ | and make your way East, destroy the object in| Med Kit................_____ | the centre of the room to find a chest| Ether Upgrade Z........_____ | containing 'Decoder 11.' Now continue East.| Ether Pack............._____ || Ether Pack............._____ | There's a large A.G.W.S. in this area. To| Ether Pack S..........._____ | avoid fighting it simply operate the crane| Ether Pack S..........._____ | down the walkway to the Southwest. Not only| Bio Sphere............._____ | will this distract the mech but also make a| Bio Sphere............._____ | treasure chest available. Climb down the| 8 Med Kit S............_____ | ladder and run East for a scene. You'll have| Thief Ring............._____ | to fight a battle against two normal enemies| | but just use your square attack to defeato------------------------------o them quickly. Take the Southwest exit out of

this room. At the bottom of the stairs use

the yellow barrel to incapacitate the guard and grab the treasure chest on theleft side containing two 'Veil.' Run to the East side and take the South door.

In the room on the left you will find a number of crates, the lower left onehides an enemy but the others contain a plethora of items including 'Med KitS,' 'Bio Sphere,' 'Ether Pack S,' 'Revive' and '100G.' Go down the hall andthrough the East door. Before approaching the guard droid be sure to healyourself to full health. Use the triangle button to defeat this enemy andignore the two laser pods that soon accompany it. After the battle open thechest to receive 'Master Key.' Return to the cell block and open the cell onthe left to find a 'Speed Stim' inside. Open the one in the middle and saveyour game, then finally open the one on the right. After the scene the firstthing you should do is like MOMO said, position her behind Ziggurat using the

Battle Formation option in your menu. Now run to the West.Get into a battle with the large A.G.W.S. here, now that you have MOMO in yourparty you can defeat it, though it will still take quite awhile. With MOMO'shealing spell and ability to put the A.G.W.S. to sleep she can be the supportcharacter while Ziggurat uses Guard every other turn, and then follows with aSquare + Square + Circle combo against the enemy. For defeating it you receivethe 'Decoder 4.' Ascend the ladder and run to the left to find that you can nolonger go this way. Turn around and backtrack as far as the room where youfought the droid to get the Master Key. Watch the scene when you get into thisroom and press the button on the upper right computer terminal. Now leavethe room and head through the Southwest door for another scene down the stairs.

Make your way West and do your best to avoid the brown stick slime on theground, it will only slow you down. Take the left path at the first fork andthen cross the small bridge on your right, follow this path back across thebridge to the left path again and take the small bridge North when you come toit, this will lead you back to the right a bit where a canister containing 'MedKit' awaits. Before returning to the main path head North through the door tofind an area with a treasure chest at the back containing 'Ether Upgrade Z.'Break the objects on the left and right sides and pick up the two 'Ether Pack'and 'Ether Pack S.' Go back to the previous path and head West.


9/56

Smash the two canisters and pick up the 'Revive,' then go down and up theladders as you slowly make your way to the left. Once you're across you'llfind an area where it's hard to navigate because of your vision being blockedby the ceiling pipes, at the lower left corner of this section is a short pathleading to a canister containing 'Ether Pack S.' Keep going West until youcome to a ladder, then climb up once you're prepared. Here you'll have tofight three A.G.W.S. units but none of them are nearly as hard individually asthe other one, in fact there's a really cheap trick to winning this fight.Have MOMO use her Sheep Beam on the left and right green Mercurios and themiddle red one will actually say "Why are you sleeping" and attack them himselffor almost 200 damage. Just keep them asleep and keep attacking the red unitin the middle, finish off the other two once you're done.

After the battle destroy the forklift and pick up the two 'Bio Sphere.' Makesure to break the crates above you as well for a total of eight 'Med Kit S.'Leave this room through the Northeast door and save your game in this roombefore going any further, I recommend using a Bio Sphere as well. When you goup to the North. Head East into the next room and use that secret path youfound to reach Segment Address 4 again, now that you have the Decoder 4 you cango inside and open the chest containing 'Thief Ring.' Now that you have thisgo back down and run all the way to the right to trigger a scene.

If you do want to win the fight however and get || a special Purple Ring, you'll have to prepare beforehand with some serious || leveling up. Accompanying this there's also some other things to note, || first of all the boss can knock you into the back row so having MOMO || behind Ziggy is a given, also to add extra damage you'll need to use some || of those support items you picked up in the area. The boss has two || special attacks called Flame Dragon and Lightning Phoenix which absorb || Fire and Lightning respectively on the next turn, not coincedentally |

Follow the path and watch the scene.Go into the room above you and smash everything to find 'Ether Pack,' 'BioSphere' and 'Escape pack.' Climb down the ladder and watch the scene.

12/56

receive 'Antidote,' 'Frame Repair A' and 'Skill Upgrade S.' Return to the forkand head South to reach another one on the walkway, to the right is a 'BioSphere' in a crate and to the left is another treasure trove with 'Frame RepairA,' 'Med Kit S,' 'Ether Pack' and 'Antidote.' Make your way South into thesmall room and save your game. Take the East exit and slowly but surelynavigate across the electrified floor. Break the crates containing 'EscapePack,' and two 'Skill Upgrade A.' Go up the stairs and get the 'Med Kit S'from the crate at the top. Break the two wall units on the West wall to findan 'Escape Pack' then take the secret path leading to 'Ether Upgrade S' and'Escape Pack.' Return to the small room and save your game. Now go down andride the elevator into the gear hangar. Take the South exit and watch thescene. Run down one of the side paths to the bottom but don't approach theboss yet, instead head down the tight path to the South where you'll find atreasure chest containing 'Coat-Beam.' Now run and attack the boss!

O============================================================================O| Boss: Domo Carrier |O=================o===================o============o============o============O| HP: 1800 | Exp: 4500 | T.Pts: 80 | E.Pts: 20 | S.Pts: 40 |o-----------------o-------------------o------------o------------o------------o| || This is actually quite a good fight for new players because it forces you || to become accustomed to some of the more advanced functions of the || battle system. Basically the idea is that the boss will designate one |

| of the four battle turn states as its "Tremor" attack state, this means || that every time the boss gets a turn on that particular state it will use || the tremor attack. There are four states in battle that cycle between || turns in order from nothing, increased critical, increased boost and || increase points after the fight. You can see this little bar as the || rectangular icon at the lower right side of the screen. What you have to || do is keep an eye on this. Lets say the boss assigned the increased || critical as its Tremor attack turn, if it was one of your character's || turns on the empty slot and you saw that the boss' turn was next on the || increased critical slot you would have a problem. In this case you need || to use another feature of the battle system which is Boost. The bar under || your character's health represents boost and when it fills up via the use || of attacks it will empty again and the number changes to one, this means |

| you have one boost. Now at any point you can hold the R1 button and press || either square, triangle or circle according to the character's position || to automatically flag them so that they instantly get the next turn. This || is what you need to use in this case, if you see the boss is about to || get a Tremor turn, Boost someone so that they take the next slot and then || the boss will be forced to use a normal attack. Stick with this strategy || for the whole fight. Shion should pop into her A.G.W.S., it's especially || good if you bought the same weapon for each hand, in that case Guard every || other turn and in between select the W-Act option for a powerful hit. || Exploit the boss' weakness to Lightning and it should go down in time. || |o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o

Following the fight leave the dining room through the North exit. Go down intothe crew quarters and watch the scene. When Shion says that maybe she shouldcall it a day, say that you haven't finished the tour properly yet. Leave thequarters and take the West elevator down to B1. Make your way to the smallsave point room for another scene. When you run to the upper right corner ofthis room you'll receive an email. Anice reward for 4000G comes from the mere1000G it cost to make the investment. Leave this room to the South, then thehangar to the South and ride the upper left elevator up for yet another tourscene. Head all the way back to the large Catapult room. Run to the far Northend to get another email, reply and select "I Will Invest in Vector." Now make


13/56

your way back to the first floor. If you wish you can use the EnvironmentalSimulator to return to the Simulator and now that you have the Decoder 10 youcan unlock the segment door. It leads to a chest containing two 'BoosterPack.' Return to Shion's quarters and rest to trigger a long cutscene.

First of all I would || suggest transferring Medica All to each one of your characters, secondly || it would be a good idea to use MOMO in your party, her new ability which |

| can be used to steal from enemies is able to pull the ultra rare || Commander's Crest from this boss. Now as for the battle your first || priority is to destroy the two Oudogue enemies, each has 1000 HP are are || just as capable of dealing serious damage as the boss is. Each time one || of them dies the boss powers up, but the fight is still much easier when || the main boss is the only remaining enemy. Have each of your characters || use melee attacks to take out the two Oudogugues and then immediately || after put Shion into her A.G.W.S., now you should guard each turn and use || W-Act when your AP reaches six, with critical hits this was dealing nearly || 1000 damage for me so it's going to be your primary attack source, have || your other two characters switch between Medica All and general battle || support, along with charing AP for powerful techs. I would recommend at || least level 16, but personally my characters won at level 14 with this. |

Destroy the | |objects in this area to find 'Escape Pack,' o- Kukai Foundation (AG Frame) oand 'Tech Upgrade A,' but be careful when | |blowing up the crates because you will | VX01-F03...............1400G |reveal an odd looking purple toy that can be | VX01-F04...............2000G |destroyed, but should not be. Speak to it | AG02-F03...............1400G |and ask it to tell you a great story to | AG02-F04...............2000G |learn about a special item in the Durandal | VX02-F04...............2000G |park.

Yourdetector will allow the fish to show up on your little radar, examine all ofthe fish in the water to find 'Med Kit,' 'Speed Stim,' and 'Engagement Ring.'The only thing left to do before continuing is to return to the Ironman inSector 26 & 27 and give that crying woman the Engagement Ring, you'll receivethe 'Decoder 8' in return for your efforts. Make your way to the hotel and opt

to sleep for awhile. Now would be a good time to return to the Wogline on theEnvironmental Simulator and use your Decoder 16, it's the door near the glasspanel office. Inside you'll find a chest containing 'Stim DX.' Back on theKukai Foundation, leave Sector 26 & 27 then head for the Launch Pad. Once backon the Durandal go to the train car and take it to the Park.

o------------------------------o equipment. Set up your party, make anypurchases you may need, then leave the room.

Make your way South and proceed through the East door, there's a couple ofguards in this area. Go South down the hall and turn to the West, in the roomat the end one of the closets conceals a hidden chest containing 'Armory Key.'Leave this room as well and make your way as far East as you can. Get on thetrain car and select the Hangar as your destination.

That key you found can be used on one of the doors here to lead you into a roomfull of crates where you'll find 'Frame Repair Z,' 'MSS540' and 'Decoder 5.'With this out of the way ride the train car to the dock. Avoid speaking to anyof the enemies. Approach the large mech at the lower left and battle it togain access to the secret path. This path will lead you down a ladder andacross a walkway to the Elsa. Jump on the roof of the ship and take theelevator down. Shion mentions they need to get to the maintenance lab, the labis located up the left elevator in the A.G.W.S. hanger on the lower level.

o------- Item Checklist -------o You'll start off with control of Jr. in this

| | area. Save your game and start moving East,| Coat-Sword............._____ | watch out for the searchlights, being caught| Ruby Helmet............_____ | by them will trigger a battle. If ever you| 5 Med Kit DX..........._____ | need to blast an object make sure to do it| 5 Bio Sphere..........._____ | out of the way of the searchlight because it| Defense Shield........._____ | will target you almost immediately if you're| 5 Ether Pack S........._____ | in the vacinity. Beyond the first light head| Blade Soul............._____ | South past the broken concrete and open the| Bio Sphere............._____ | chest on your right to receive 'Coat-Sword.'| Bio Sphere............._____ | Now go up and around to the right. All the| Bio Sphere............._____ | barrels at the North end contain items, just| Rejuvenator............_____ | make sure you aren't in between the light and| 5 Revive..............._____ | the barrel itself when blasting it, you'll

Start down the


22/56

o------------------------------o road here to the Southwest but go into thelittle area on the Southeast side of the

road, try to avoid the rather dangerous enemy and open the chest to receive'PM Card E.' Keep going and ignore the open manhole for now, speak to theperson standing nearby to trigger a battle. To kill the enemy you need to healit, rather than damage it. Use a Med Kit DX or something similar. If youdestroy the large crate above you it reveals another manhole, descend down it.

Up the stairs on the left you'll reach an area that looks familiar. Press theflashing red button and go down the stairs. Defeat the large enemy to gainaccess to Segment Address No. 5. You should have the Decoder 5 to open thisdoor to go inside and get the 'Double Buster' which is an extremely powerfulaccessory. Leave this room and climb the stairs, press the button to unlockthe door and go through the door parallel to it on the other side. Destroy thepanel and open the chest to receive 'Guard Cleaner.' Backtrack down into thesewer and up out of the manhole. Descend into the other manhole to the South.

Start by going South, there's a big pile of concrete here to destroy whichreveals five 'Ether Pack S.' That's all for this part, go back where you camein and head East. Before you go across the bridge you have to fight past theenemy blocking the red button. Press the button and proceed South to the end.

Now you'll have control of Jr. yet again. Start by going West and enter theburning building through the open door, at the very top beside the fire are a

couple of crates you can destroy to reveal 'Rejunevator.' Make your way Southdown the road until you can't go any further, then trun left and descend thestairs. Navigate through all the junk until you reach a save point. GoingNortheast (not where you came from, just above that) will take you to a door,before going through destroy the junk on the left to get a two 'Bio Sphere.'Beside that you can target the glass and reveal a red door in the glass room,enter the door now and examine the upper wall to discover Segment Address No.15. Use your Decoder 15 to gain access and take the 'Angel Ring' from thechest. Return to the save point and head North.

Descend the stairs under the blue tube cover, if you destory the benches on thewall above you when you get to the bottom you'll find 'Veil.' Go down onto thesubway tracks and blast the vending machine on the right side to reveal five

'Neuro Stim.' Once again return to the main floor and back to the save point.Now take the stairs that are going down directly beside the save point. Avoidvaporizing the bench in front of you, otherwise a Kobold will attack. Dohowever, take out the vending machine on the left side and get the two 'FrameRepair A.' Go down the steps and up the somewhat inconspicuous ramp on theleft side. Defeat the enemy and then go down the other ramp to a reach avending machine concealing a chest with 'Red Topaz.' Climb up over thedilapidated train car and proceed East down the subway tracks.

Walk to the right until your path is blocked, then follow the little path ofjunk that leads around the bottom. Enter the train car and head right. Followthe path to a ladder and climb up. At the left side of this walkway there's anobject to destroy which gives you access to a treasure chest, but not yet.

Climb back down and enter the train again, now destory the door on the leftside to reveal an 'Ether Pack S.' Just before you head through this openingleave the train car via the lower exit and go up along the side of the car tofind the chest you knocked down containin 'Venom Block.' Enter the train caronce again and head to your left, then down the ramp at the top. Take thesmall set of steps to the North and head down into the waterway. Run alongthis waterway fighting the enemies as you go, just past the third one is anobject you can destroy containing four 'Frame Repair A.' Go up the small setof steps, climb the ladder and proceed through the door assuming you unlockedit with Shion's party. In the treasure chest is the 'Decoder 12.' Return back


23/56

down again, then head East and ascend the larger ladder up.

Save your game as Shion once again. As you walk up the path you'll come to ared coloured monster, below the monster is a rock you can destroy. While therock itself does not leave anything it does give you access to a hidden passageleading South. You're brought to a treasure chest containing 'PM Card D.'Continue along the path East to the next screen. Here you will see that littlebunny rabbit from the U.M.N. and the park as well. From here the path is quitelinear, it takes you across a stone bridge, then a fallen tree log and downaround a curved sloping path. At the left end of this path near the Koboldenemy is a tree which can be Vaporized. Do so and take this path into thewater area. Follow it around and destroy all the walls as you go, but watchout for the invisible enemy. Blast the rock pillar and open the chest toreceive 'Blue Topaz.' Head all the way back past the Kobold to the curveddownward path and leave this area to the Southeast.

Run up the hill to the right, past the troll enemy and destroy the stump tofind 'Ether Pack S.' Cross the bridge and head down to the West. Knock downthe little bridge crank and run across behind the waterfall and into theopening. This leads to those four carrot objects the bunny was at before,destroy them all and collect the four 'S. Carrot Juice.' Make your way back tothe bridge you crossed to get to the waterfall, but this time go underneath itto where you saw the rabbit. Examine the stump and put an S. Carrot Juicedown. Now the bunny will come out and get the juice, you need to get into his

house before he sees you. The trick however is that the eyes you see are fake,and the real ones he sees from are on the back of his head. In order to getinto his house easily, you need to wait for him to start circling. Allow himto circle around until he reaches the upper left stool which is almost one fullrevolution, and then start running around the stump on the left side in thesame direction and the rabbit shouldn't see you until it's way too late.Inside his house you'll find a chest with 'Decoder 3' inside. Leave the houseand follow the path that goes around behind it to the North for a scene.

When you arrive in this next area proceed East and enter the church for acutscene. Be absolutely sure to save your game and prepare your charactershere, what you are about to face is arguably the hardest normal boss in thegame. Reading ahead at the strategy might be advisable before going further.

Talk to the girl beside the door to get your HP & EP restored, then headthrough the door and get ready for some more cutscenes befo
