As for this FAQ/Walkthrough, it is based on the JP version of "Xenosaga I&II" that's released on March 30, 2006. BTW, this FAQ/Walkthrough can contain spoilers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Update Logs> \April 3rd, 2006/ - Version 0.1, started the walkthrough and done till the first gnosis boss \April 4th, 2006/ - Version 0.2, done Chapter 4 \April 5th, 2006/ - Version 0.3, done Chapter 8 \April 6th, 2006/ - Version 0.4, done Chapter 10 which means the end of Xenosaga Episode I \April 7th~9th, 2006/ - Version 0.5, done the walkthrough ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Starting Up> For the Title Menu at the Lower Screen, there are: - New Game - Continue - Option - Battle Movement: Combat Only/Map Based - Battle Grid: On/Off - Message Speed: Normal/Slow/Fast - Map Movement Type: Walk/Run - Skip Function: Off/On - Save & Exit - Back To Default ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Chapter 1 - Ubung/Practice> Within the Encephalon, pick Yes/1st choice and you can take 3 Tutorials: - Basic Movement - Divides into 3 aspects: Move, Normal Attack and Target Select - To Move, there are the Player Field and the Enemy Field, so you can only move within the Player Field. If you are close to the enemy, you can deal more damage but you also receive more damage. Likewise, if you are away from the enemy, you can deal less and receive less damage - To move, simply use the D-Pad and you can move around the Player Field like in an Action RPG - For Normal Attack, it's by using the X or Y Button, as well as A Button - To make a combo, input X or Y after. You can also Cancel with B Button - If you have enough AP, you can press A as the 3rd Input - First, line up with the enemy and X Button will be usable - For Target Select, press L Button and use the D-Pad to pick - Once you have an X and Y Icon on some enemy, you are set - You are to take out all the Saber Crab here to end this Tutorial - Line up with one enemy, pick that enemy as the target, then you can press X or Y as the initial attack then X or Y again - If you have enough AP, then A as the 3rd Input - For the Touch Screen, you can view KOS MOS's HP, MP, AP and BG which is the Boost Gauge - As you can see, X is Blaster, Y is Blow and B is for the Menu - For the Menu, you can see Ether, Item, Formation and Guard - If you press Select, that's 'View Techs' which allows you to see all the combinations with various Buttons - AP System - As you can see with the AP Gauge in the Lower Screen - One Normal Attack uses 1 AP - Ether or Item uses 2 AP - Guard uses 1 AP - Deathblow uses 1 AP - You regain 2 AP each turn - Anyway, you are to charge up 3 AP for the Deathblow - Either Normal Attack then Cancel or just Guard - As said, you can get 2 AP upon a Turn - Once you have 3 AP, press Select to 'View Techs' - There are 4 combinations for 3-Button Combo, but they are just the R Cannon and R Blade - Repeat till you get rid off all Saber Crab - While you are at it, you probably will build up the BG/Boost Gauge, but it doesn't look like you can use it in this Tutorial - Other System - This is where it talks about Event Slot, Group Turn Window and Boost - For Event Slot, it spins after each character/enemy's turn - There are 4 kinds with 4 effects which applies to character and enemy - Critical Slot, increases the chance for Critical Hit - Boost Slot, increases the charge for the Boost Gauge - Lucky Slot, increases Point, Exp & chance for Rare Item after battle - None, nothing so everything is normal - For Group Turn Window, it shows the turn order for all. The most left is the one that's faster than the rest - This is determined by the stat, AGL - For Boost, the Gauge charges up by using Normal Attack or Deathblow - Once you have 1 or higher, then you can use Boost - Press R Button, then Boost with Y, X or A Button - For this case with KOS MOS, R+Y - Keep in mind that you can Double Boost to do Double Tech. You'll need at least 2 characters, each with at least 1 Boost Gauge. So you can Boost both for the Double Tech - You will need to clear out all the Saber Crab and at least do one Boost - Cancel - Once you are done with the above Tutorials, you may end the Tutorials with this choice There is a EVS Plate near, get near and Check it with A. Use Recover/1st choice to heal your HP and MP. If you press Triangle then you'll be in the Menu which is at the Lower Screen: - Ether, allows you to Use, Evolve or Enhance - Skill, allows you to Set or Acquire - Deathblow, allows you to Set or Enhance - Equip, allows you to Change or Unequip Arm, Body or 2 Accessories - Item, allows you to Use or Change - UMN, allows you to view Mail, Glossary, Sub Story, Plug In and Shop - Shop allows you to Buy/Sell Weapon/Armor/Item - Save, allows you to save your game - There are 2 Save Slots - In this Menu, press Y to switch around the character order - Top character is the On-Screen Character that shows up on the field Anyway, walk up for a Mail from Miyuki. Anyhow, for walking around the field, you can encount in random battles. If you ever get into a battle with some rock between the enemies, destroy the rock to set off the Trap to damage the nearby enemies. Toward the NW to get a Mail from Vector. Move on to NW to get near the Realian Alex. Virgil also shows up with his AGWS. Alex will join in here but he is AI- Controlled in battle. For the next random battle, Virgil in his AGWS will show up and shoot the enemy but also shooting Alex in doing so. Now, back track toward the EVS Plate to get a Mail from Miyuki. You may use the Plug In with Y Button, to destroy nearby object. Now, to advance, you can go straight to north. Before that, we can get one Acc here. See the bridge at the middle of this area? You can get up there from the NE. At NE, go south and move along the edge, so you are Off-Screen. Continue to move to the left and you will be moving on the bridge. There's an object at the end. Destroy it and you will get the Purple Ring. The north leads to a boss fight, so besure you are ready before going on. Since there is a EVS Plate you can use to heal HP and MP, you may train around here. My Shion and KOS MOS are at Level 6. Evolve, Enhance Shion & KOS MOS's Ether; Enhance Shion & KOS MOS's Deathblow; Acquire, Set Shion & KOS MOS's Skill; Buy some Armor like the MetalWare for Shion & KOS MOS. Get Scope and Hunter Eye if you got enough Money. Also, don't forget to get some healing items. If you do get the Scope and Hunter Eye, you can also Acquire Skills from them, along with the Skill from the Purple Ring. Once you are ready, go north toward the rubble. Enemy: Goblin First Gnosis you fight which isn't too bad since it's 3 against 1. Guard and build up the AP, then do Deathblow. Shion can also use support magic like Boost One, Quick and Medica. KOS MOS can use Down Dex/Force. If you are good enough, 3 or 4 Deathblow should take it out. On the Woglinde, go on and to the right. A Mail from Vector. After, go down to the south to Shion's Room. That's it for this Chapter. The game will prompt you to save your game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Chapter 2 - Angriff/Assault> You will be controlling Allen. Just go up and to the right to meet with Shion. Back to playing as Shion. You can get to the Bridge just from the right. But, you should explore around first. Toward the N/NW for a Mail. Go on to explore the western area, destroy any object for possible item and there are quite few items you can get. Plus, you can get another Mail while exploring. Once you are ready, to the Bridge. After, walk up a bit for a quick scene with Nephilim. Follow her so go right. More scene and go through the door. Another scene then through the door at the end of the hallway. You will end up in front of the Zohar Emulator. After, go straight to NW. Speak with the Realian at upper right. You will get to name her. Next, speak with Alex that's at the right. Speak around then go to talk to Caspase. Afterward, go back to speak with that Realian that you named. That's it for this Chapter. The game will prompt you to save your game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Chapter 3 - Abschied/Separation> Once you gain control of Shion, to the near south door, then to the east. You will get into a battle against 2 Gnosis. However, without the Hilbert Effect, you can't damage them. Move on to the next area. Go left up for the EVS Plate. Besure to go destroy objects nearby for possible item. From the EVS Plate, move to the right for a Mail from Vector, then to the right further. Continue on to the right afterward. A short fight with Cyclops, but Virgil will take it out with his AGWS. Go on through the near south door. Thanks to KOS MOS' Hilbert Effect, we can now fight the Gnosis. Enemy: Cyclops KOS MOS will join in. Shion can stay behind and Guard. KOS MOS can attack from the front line. When you can, have Shion to use Spell Ray. Shion can also use support magic like Boost One, Quick and Medica. KOS MOS can use Down Dex/Force. This will take some time, but it isn't too bad if you got the necessary Ether. If Shion is not attacking, just spam Medica. Afterward, Virgil will also join in the party. But like Alex from before, that Virgil is also AI-Controlled in battle. To the west, before the door, there is the EVS Plate. Since you can get random battles here, you might want to train a bit. For me, both Shion and KOS MOS are Level 8, buy and equip the Metal Mat for both. Have Shion to equip the Purple Ring then KOS MOS can equip Red Ring. Once you are ready, go west for another fight. Enemy: Minotaurus Virgil isn't around since KOS MOS already shot him down. Shion can stay in the back line to support KOS MOS. KOS MOS can Guard and charge up to do R Blade. KOS MOS can also try Down Spell. Shion should be using Medica to keep the party alive. If anyone dies, toss in a Zetajist. Minotaurus can put AGL Down along with his attack, so besure to use Shion's Quick. If Shion is low on EP, toss in a Rosejist. After, that's it for this Chapter. You may save your game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Chapter 4 - Beziehung/Fated Relationship> After, you will be on the Elsa. Speak with KOS MOS, Allen & Andrew, then go up to the right to meet with Ziggy and MOMO. You will get into a battle, with KOS MOS, Ziggy and MOMO in the party. After, a message from Jinkei. He will teach you about the Formation. Also, he will give you 2 Formations: Magic Formation, with ETL+20% but STR-20%; GodSpeed Formation, with AGL+20% but DEF-20%. As I already talked about above, as you go open up the Menu with X Button, press Y Button. Highlight and select the member you want to switch around by using the Y Button then select the member you want to switch around with. Remember, the top member is the character that shows up on the field/screen. Continue on toward the door and a Mail from Jinkei. Beyond the door, walk up a bit more for another Mail from Vector. KOS MOS got a new Deathblow, R Drill. Go on to the right, destroy some object for item. To the NW door to the lift. Go up to 1F. Go left for some object to destroy for item, to the right to the EVS Plate. Right of the EVS Plate, there is a robot where you can Buy or Sell. After, take the middle path to the Bridge for a fight. Enemy: Golem Keep attacking with XX Buttons then heal with Medica when you need to. This is not hard at all. Afterward, upon checking out an EVS Plate, a new option which is Mini Game. It divides into 2 Genre, Action and Puzzle. You only have Archery which belong to the Action Genre. Exit out the Bridge, and to the west. Take the middle south room. You will get the "Ziggy Chapter" added to the Sub Story. View it now or not, up to you. You can get the White Ring at the end if you do view it. After, take the lift down to B1F. Go in the east room. Since you're at the B1F, might as well check out the south room for objects to destroy for items. Also, you can get another Mail. This is Pursuit 1. The hint for the next one is Vault and that's it for now. Go back to the Bridge. After, speak with Allen by the sofa. You will get the "Andrew Chapter" added to the Sub Story. View it now or not, up to you. If you do view, you can get the Voltage at the end. With the Food, go down to B1F. Go in the east room. After, go back to the Elsa Restaurant, back to the Kitchen. Head to the Bridge afterward. That ends this Chapter. You may save your game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Chapter 5 - Strand/Beach> Exit out the room. You will end up in the Cathedral Ship. Also, chaos will join the party here. Save your game. Since there is a EVS Plate here, you might want to train around. Anyway, to the right and get items by destroying objects. After, go north. You will get another Mail from Miyuki. Besure to have Shion to equip the M.W.S. 2 afterward. Go left for another object/item, then to the right. Next, go to the north for more object/item, then to the right to the next area. Go on to the right for objects/item. Move on to north for another message from Jinkei. You get the Guardian Formation, with DEF+30% but STR-10%. To the right and just behind the big glasses, destroy the hidden object for item. Anyway, go down a bit and to the right for another object/item. From there, go north and to the left, which will get you behind the glasses again. Destroy that hidden object for more item. Go down to south to another area. You can go east or south. East leads to object/item, south is to move on. Also don't forget to destroy any object you see for possible item. Next area, go east for another object/item, then to the west. Go on and destroy any object you see. More scene on the way. You will get the "Andrew Chapter 2" added to the Sub Story. View it now or not, up to you. You can get Extrajist in the end. Go on to the next area. Within the Ship, there are few hidden objects here, all by the inner wall. You can move along the inner wall/edges. After you turn around by the corner, check the south which is the outer wall for another hidden object. Moving on and by the vending machine like object, there is another hidden object near. Continue on and besure to check the walls for more objects. Next area, you will be outside again. To the west for an object/item. Moving on and go left for another object/item, then to the right up. Go on to the inside again. Go west for objects and besure to check the walls for possible objects. After, go east and search for objects for item. Beyond the door, recover with that EVS Plate and besure to save your game before you go on. For some preparation, my active party are Level 17 with Shion, chaos and Ziggy since they all have Thunder-based Deathblow. Make all the necessary adjusts you need with Ether, Skill, Deathblow, Equipment and Item. Once you are ready, move on for a fight. Enemy: Gargoyle Not too bad, heal using Shion and chaos if you need to. The annoying is when it seals your A Button but you can cure it with item. Any support ether you got for your characters, use them. Like said above, use Thunder-based Deathblow on Gargoyle. It also likes to STR UP, so if you are using KOS MOS, you can use STR Down on it. Aside from that, it heals itself from time to time, so besure to attack even when characters got the A Button sealed. After, that ends this Chapter. You may save your game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Chapter 6 - Glanz/Radiance> You will be in the Durandal. You can take the train to get to Residential Area, Bridge Area and the Hangar Area. Explore the Residential Area for items, then to the Bridge Area. Get one more object/item, then to the Bridge. After, go to the Bridge Area then to the Hangar Area. Afterward, go back to the Residential Area. Go into the east room. That ends this Chapter. You may save your game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Chapter 7 - Verdacht/Suspicion> You will be in the Kukai Foundation. The "Jr Chapter" will be added to the Sub Story. View it now or not, up to you. You can get Cartridge at the end if you view it. Afterward, you get the "Gaignun Chapter" added to the Sub Story. Like usual, view it if you wish. You can get the Makarov. Within the Durandal, save your game first. To the Dock Area. You will get the "Shion Chapter" added to the Sub Story. View it to get the Space Tent. You will end up in the Elsa. Back to 1F and exit out. Go to the Bridge of the Durandal. Afterward, Jr will be in the party. Take few steps and a message from Jinkei. You will get the Vitality Formation, with you recovering 3 APs per turn but the 1st Attack can't be Y Button Attack. Anyway, moving on to before the train. You should train around here since there is a EVS Plate near. My main party got Shion, chaos and Jr, all at Level 20. Once you are ready, to the Dock Area. Time for another fight. Enemies: Hermann, Richard Form the Vitality Formation with Shion at the front, Jr at the middle and chaos can be at the back to heal. If Hermann and Richard line up, then Shion can do the Spell Ray Deathblow to attack both of them. As for Jr, he can use the ether Psycho Pocket to steal from Hermann and Richard. Each of them got few items for you to steal. This battle is not too bad, just more work if you want to steal all items. Enemies: Hermann, Richard Lot more HPs than before and tough. If you want to steal items again, go start this by forming the Guardian Formation. Shion and chaos can support, Jr can do the stealing. Richard's weakness is Flame, so chaos can attack with ether. You should focus on Richard first because Richard does the most damage here. Once you are done stealing, revert to the Vitality Formation. Deathblow them till they die. Afterward, that ends this Chapter. You may save. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Chapter 8 - Vergangenheit/Past> Within the Encephalon, you have a fixed party of Jr, Ziggy and MOMO. There is the EVS Plate near, so you could train around here, especially if this party is weak. Check the west and north for objects/items, then to the south. Go on to the S and more objects on the way. More scene and the game switches to the party with Shion and chaos. Keep in mind that you only got Shion and chaos here, so battles might be harder if your Shion and chaos are weak. There is an EVS Plate around, so you should train a bit. Before going on to the east, check around the initial park area to get items from objects. Next area, the game switches back to Jr's party. More objects and EVS Plate on the way. Go on to the next area. Besure to check the corners of this area, you might spot some off-screen objects. Anyway, go on and destroy more objects. The game switches back to Shion's party. Go on and destroy any object you see. Next area, an EVS Plate on the way. Move on to spot the Bunny. Go on and at the intersection, ignore the south and to the west. It leads to an object/item, as well as a hidden path. The hidden path leads to the stump. After, back track & you will see that Bunny again. Allen will be resized to some tiny figure. Now, head back to the stump and you will be controlling Allen. With him, destroy the box for the Thief's Gauntlet. This increases the Rare Item drop rate from enemy by 10%. Anyway, the Bunny is at the near west of the EVS Plate. Allen will be back to normal. Now, go down to SE. The two parties will meet up, just before the church. Walk a bit for a message from Jinkei. You will get the Hit Formation, with Accuracy+30% but AGL-15%. As you can see, an EVS Plate before the church. Make sure you are ready before you go inside. My party is Shion, chaos and Jr, all at Level 23. Also, all of them got one Deathblow that's already at Level 6, meaning with a Star that indicates a Master. That allows you to Set that Deathblow to as YA or XA. You no longer need 3 APs to do that Deathblow in battle. Within, if you speak with Nephilim, she can heal you. Take the door that's just by Febronia. Time for a fight. Enemy: Tiamat Tons of HPs, but it isn't too bad if you keep full-party healing with chaos. Jr can steal some items, then Shion can attack with Deathblow. Tiamat's weakness is B and Shion got the Lightning B Deathblow. The annoying thing here is Tiamat can heal all the time. This is where you should abuse Boost if you got enough Boost Gauge. For me, all my characters can use Deathblow with 2AP, so I can get the Boost Gauge up fast and deal decent damage at the same time. It went down real fast even when he heals couple times in a row. After, you will get the "Shion Chapter 2" added to the Sub Story. If you view it, you can get the P Drug Gamma. That's it for this Chapter. You may save. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Chapter 9 - Gespenst/Ghost> You will be at the Durandal. Exit out and to the Dock Area. Go into the Elsa, to the east room in B1F. KOS MOS will join the party. Back to the Durandal then Jr and others will join back to the party. Take the near right door to get out to the Foundation. Before you go to the east, check the near north for objects to destroy. Moving on to the east, a quick fight with a Gnosis. Besure to destroy objects around in this area. Also, you will obtain a message from Jinkei, for the Steel Force Formation, with STR+30% but DEF-10%. Once you are done with the objects in this area, as you can see, there are two houses to go in. Go in the 1st right house, there is the Vault which is what the Pursuit 1 Mail hinted out from before. You should get more Mail, Pursuit 2. This time, the hint is Robo. In this house, speak with the robot to rest. Last of all, there is the safe which requires you to finish a Mini Game first. On to the second house, go behind the counter to fight more Gnosis. Now, back track and go west. Destroy object for item, then you will get another Mail. It is the X Buster for KOS MOS. There is an EVS Plate and more Gnosis to the west. After that, back track and go NW. You will need to clear the Brave Snipe Mini Game. After, check the near Shop. Go on up for more Mail from Miyuki. Shion gets the M.W.S. 3 now. Destroy the objects around, then go in the house. This's the Robo that the Pursuit 2 Mail hinted out. The hint this time is the Great Amount Of Water. Anyway, there is an EVS Plate, as well as another Gnosis. After, before you exit out, make sure your party is ready. Mine got characters at Level 27, all can do Deathblow with YA or XA. Also, those Deathblows are at high Levels as well, if not at Level 9/Max. Anyway, exit out and back track. You will end up fighting up one more Gnosis. Enemy: Gigas Bit more HPs than Tiamat but it doesn't heal itself. It has an area attack, so besure to spread your characters around. Also, Jr can steal as usual. As I said above, this should be easy if you got characters to do Deathblows with only two APs. For healing, line up everyone and heal with chaos. BTW, its weakness is also Spirit, which chaos is good at. After, Albedo with his E.S Simeon will come and snap MOMO away. You will end up controlling MOMO within the Song Of Nephilim. Go on and spot a Kirschwasser. Go on afterward to find lots of more Kirschwasser. Afterward, that's it for this Chapter. You may save. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Chapter 10 - Hitze/Heat> After, from the Durandal, to the Dock Area. Before you go to the Bridge of the Elsa, check out the Foundation. Anything you missed from before, you can go get them, especially since there is no Gnosis around to fight. Remember the Mail Pursuit 3 hinted out on Great Amount Of Water? Well, that's the Beach area of the Foundation. Go there and check around for Pursuit 4. The Pursuit 4's hint is Water Fountain. Also, you can check with Hakase in the Robo Academy. Once you are ready, to the Bridge of the Elsa. Exit out the Elsa and you will be in the Song Of Nephilim/Heavenly Wheel(Proto Merkabah). Move on and you will get another message from Jinkei, for the Anti-Magic Formation, which halves the EP for ether consumption. The right leads to an object/item, take the left after. Go right for more item from object, then toward the entrance to the next area. A Mail from Miyuki and you will get the M.W.S. 4 for Shion. Next area, continue on down and this "MOMO" will join in the party. Go south a bit and check the PC here. Clear the Mini Game and the gate will be lowered. Go up and to the right to the next area. Go up the stairs and at the next area, go left to an area with object/item, then back track and go up. Up on F42, to the left room again for an object/item. Then back track and go up the stairs. Up on F43, to the left room for another object/item. There is also a gate here. Keep this floor in mind then back track to go up. There is another EVS Plate at the end, then to the left room. In this room, go destroy the objects to north for item. As you can see, there is a gate in the middle and 2 paths to the left. You can't take the upper left path, so that's just the lower one. The path leads to objects and the panel to unlock the gates on F43. On F43, get to the middle to get the switch. Now, you may go back up & take the middle path to go on. Destroy the objects to the right for item. There is an EVS Plate here, and you will also get a Mail for KOS MOS's S Chain Deathblow. Save your game and train a bit here. Enemy: Doppelwogel Have Jr to steal the items. Have someone to heal all the time, the rest can do Deathblow with YA or XA. As long as you can heal all the time, you should be fine. The problem is mostly because it can move fast. Boost whenever you can to try to finish it off fast. After, continue on to the next area. To the right, the path leads back to that locked door. To move on, go north. One more fight here. Enemy: Ein Rugel Like usual, get Jr to steal the items. Spread your characters around and attack with Deathblow by using YA or XA. Like before, have someone to heal at all the time. It gets harder as it does Str Up, so finish it off quickly. Afterward, save your game. Go right to chase after Albedo. There is EVS Plate. Check the north if you want to, otherwise, go on to the south. Move on, and go destroy near objects. Take the lift at the end. Go on and there is another EVS Plate on the way. Go on for another fight. Enemy: Albedo Get Jr to steal items as usual. Albedo can deal decent damage to one target, so you can have one to heal all the time. The annoying thing is when he casts the Confusion status to a character, but it isn't something you can't cure. Don't hesitate if you need everyone to heal, since Albedo can Boost quite often. Afterward, you get the "Kirsch Chapter" added to the Sub Story. View it and you can get the Light Shield. You will get into another fight. Enemy: E.S Simeon You can't win. Just let it kill you all. Although you can't win, but Canaan will come with E.S Asher. With 2 E.S, there is the resonance which means you can go through. There is an EVS Plate, besure you train if you got a weak party. My party got Level 32 characters, all got 1 Deathblow that's at Max Level, Set to YA or XA. Also, just in case, buy a lot of Zetajist. Move on for one last fight. Enemy: Sophie Peithos Steal the items with Jr. This one isn't all that tough, but it does indeed got lots of HPs. Each character should attack with the Max Level Deathblow they got with YA or XA. Since Sophie can attack a line, so spread characters around. Or you could try out the Vitality Formation. Also, Sophie got a pretty deadly move that can attack the field, so don't hesitate to spend turns to keep the party's HPs high. Besure to have characters to stock up on Boost Gauge. This isn't for you, but just in case of emergency. Sophie can and will attack all in couple turns which is really deadly if you don't Boost and heal. Afterward, back track all the way to F43, toward the middle panel. After, head back to the Elsa. Once KOS MOS joins back, back to the Bridge of Elsa. At the end, end of this Chapter, as well as Xenosaga Episode I. You may save. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Chapter 11 - Erde/Land> We will be on Second Miltia. You will get the "Canaan Chapter" added to the Sub Story. View it to get the Bujin Charm. Save your game afterward. Few objects around here to be destroyed. Exit out for a quick battle against few UTIC. Go out. Besure to destroy any object you see. Ignore the east and west paths now since you can't go through. To the left, there's a house with an EVS Plate. After, go down the stairs. To the left is a Shop. Go down to the right, near left house is another Shop which offers E.S stuff. Next, go south to move on. You will encount Pilum and Scutum. Everyone but Shion and KOS MOS will head off first. You will get into a battle. Enemies: Pilum, Scutum No way that KOS MOS can survive even one hit. You can't win this. After, the game will switch to the other party. Continue along the path and do destroy any object on the way. At the end, there is an EVS Plate. Go on after. Miyuki will come with the E.S Zebulun so go check out the cargo. Now, we got 2 E.S, time to battle. Enemies: Pilum, Scutum A quick Tutorial from Canaan and Miyuki. For Normal Attacks, you can only use XX or YY Buttons. The Deathblow is still A Button, but you can't use it after XX or YY Buttons. Thus, you have to use it as the First Attack. Zebulun can heal and Asher can steal. Take out Pilum first, then on to Scutum. Scutum can heal once and Pilum is more the offensive one. Charge up then use A Button to use Deathblow or just attack with YY Buttons. Afterward, that ends this Chapter. You may save. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Chapter 12 - Familie/Family> You can go west to the area before UMN. Destroy the objects for item. Anyway, to get to Vector 2nd Division, go south and take the path at SE. It's the path just east of Moby Dicks Coffee. Afterward, go to the Moby Dicks. Next, with chaos and Jr, head to the Moby Dicks as well. After, exit out and a message from Jinkei. This time, he talks about the Personality Formation/PF. It is specific Character with specific Formation. You get the Recovery Formation using Shion with the GodSpeed Formation. The effect is recovering 20% of Max HP at the turn. Now, go SW to Shion&Jin's Home. Go in the house. Afterward, you will get "Allen Chapter" added to the Sub Story. View it to the Beautiful Stone. That's it for this Chapter. You may save. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Chapter 13 - Falle/Trap> You will be controlling Jr. Head toward the entrance. After, go south and head to the near west area. The game switches to Shion. Move on for a message from Jinkei. A new PF, the Heaven's Blessing Formation using Jr with Magic Formation and the effect is to double the effect of HP, EP healing with Item or Ether. After, go to the UMN which is to NW then toward the west area. That ends this Chapter. You may save. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Chapter 14 - Erinnerung/Reminiscence> Pick the 1st choice once you are ready to get in the Encephalon. Within, go in the house. Destroy the object at first floor then go up stairs. Besure to get the object at the second floor. Exit out the house. After, within the Institute, go west. Exit out after. Move on for a message from Jinkei. A new PF, the Firm Formation by using Ziggy that allows no Knock Back from enemy attacks. Anyway, walk toward the SW to spot the 3 URTV again. You will be back in that house again. Exit out. Back to the park area, toward the SW again. After, go to the north to run after the 3 URTV. After, exit out and go east, then go SW. Afterward, go back inside. Next, there is an EVS Plate, might as well train a bit here. Besure to explore around for few objects to destroy. Go south to the next area. Locate and destroy any object, then to the east. Another EVS Plate. Go east and west for objects, then to the south for more fight. Enemy: Infected URTV Gamma Leap Attack from it deals a lot of damage plus able to Poison you. With Shion in the party, activate the Recovery Formation. So, do the GodSpeed Formation but Shion has to be in the middle. That way, you don't need to heal or as much. Get Jr to steal and use Deathblow to attack it. It does have a lot of HPs, and its weakness is Thunder. Afterward, go on down the beach. That ends this Chapter. You may save. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Chapter 15 - Konflikt/Conflict> Go north for another Mail. KOS MOS gets a new Deathblow R Spaine. Go on to the NE, an EVS Plate. Go north for few objects/item, then go south to take the lift to go down. There is another EVS Plate. Go on for more fight. Enemies: Infected URTV Gamma, Infected URTV Beta*5 Similar to last fight, but the Beta ones here are pretty annoying if you don't get rid off them fast. For Jr, you can use Buster Joe ether and for Ziggy, you can try the Anoaro ether. If you spent the points on Deathblow, then you can go use Deathblows to take them out. Some Deathblows are range-attacks, so target the correct/usually central enemy for the best advantage. Also, Jr can go steal from the Gamma one. Anyway, if you need to heal, perform the Recovery Formation like before. But still, the Leap Attacks from them can push you back to destroy the Formation. So besure to have someone to heal then move back into Recovery Formation. Afterward, go around for objects/item, then fight the Infected URTV at NE & S. Next area, near right is an object/item, then go on for more Infected URTV and destroy any object you see. Next area, like wise, any Infected URTV and object you see. Afterward, back track to the first area for one more Infected URTV. Go back to the last area to spot two more Infected URTV. Tough fight this time. Enemies: Level 4*2 They do have more HPs but they aren't that hard to kill. Focus on one and use a Max Level Deathblow for each character. For healing, as usual, use the Recovery Formation. End this fast before it gets risky. After, one more fight. Enemy: Albedo He just keep on absorbing one character's HP to heal himself. Form the Recovery Formation. Have Jr to steal as usual, then attack with Deathblow. This is not too hard as long as you can deal way more damage than he can heal/absorb. Afterward, that ends this Chapter. You may save. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Chapter 16 - Regeneration/Regeneration> With Shion, go on for the Blessing Formation, a new PF using MOMO where you can recover 5 EP at the beginning of the turn. Go on to the east. Talk to all the people in this area, then toward the east/southeast again. You will end up in a battle against few Gnosis. After that, go NW, SW and NE for more Gnosis. Next, SAVE your game THEN toward the middle for one more Gnosis fight. Enemy: Gigas Beta All characters will be injured then KOS MOS with her Second Armament will come to help. Even though it's just KOS MOS but she should be enough, especially if your KOS MOS can use Deathblow with YA or XA. Now, the cheap thing from Gigas Beta is the Death Echo and that's Instant Death/Game Over. Unless you have the Death Guard or else you should pray that it doesn't use it. If you need to, use KOS MOS to use ether to decrease Gigas' stats. After, KOS MOS joins back to the party. Move a bit and a message from Jinkei. A new PF, Excess Formation by using KOS MOS where the Max Stock for Boost Gauge becomes 5. Next, go to the Space Harbor. Enemy: Minotaurus Beta Form the Recovery Formation and have one character to heal all the time. Jr can also steal here and keep on attacking it with Max Level Deathblows. Afterward, Jr and MOMO will fly off with Asher and Zebulun. KOS MOS will then activate System DINA, which means 1 more E.S for us, E.S Dinah. Afterward, one more fight with a Gnosis and this is a Robot Battle. Enemy: Leanan Sidhe Asher can charge up and use the Deathblow Angelic Region. If not, you can also try to steal. Zebulun and Dinah can both support and attack. It doesn't have that many HPs and its weakness is Flame. No matter, Angelic Region does more than enough damage already. If you don't like spending someone to heal then you can try the Recovery Formation. Remember that Dinah is the one that should be in the middle. Afterward, that ends this Chapter. You may save. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Chapter 17 - Abfahrt/Departure> You will be on the Durandal, controlling Jr. First up, head to the Residential Area. Go east to the Water Fountain area, this is the hint from the Pursuit 4. You'll get the Pursuit 5 Mail. The hint is "Whale" this time. You can talk to MOMO in this area. She will join in the party. Back to the Bridge Area to get Ziggy, to the Hangar Area to get chaos. Now, to the Dock Area and toward Elsa. Shion will arrive at the Elsa. Go on and a message from Jinkei. A new PF, the Exceed Formation using chaos, where the enemies can't Boost. Go on to meet with chaos. Go on to the Bridge. In Space, you will be controlling a E.S Before you move on, let us make some adjusts. You can open up the Menu with X Button. If you just press Right on the D-Pad, it takes you to the Robot Menu. The 3rd Option changes to Change which allows you to change the Main and Sub Pilot, for different Deathblows and you can also view the Power Value of each Deathblow. For Equip here, you can Equip Arm & Body for each E.S. If you go to Shop, you can also buy E.S Weapon & Armor for each E.S, as well as E.S Items. Anyway, go on for a quick battle. Go on through space & you will end up inside the Ormus Fortress. Couple objects near, as well as an EVS Plate. Go on to the west, more object on the way. Go down to SE. Next area, move on and destroy any object you see. You will be chased by enemy but Jin will come & destroy the AMWS with one slash using his sword, just like in the Miltian Conflict. Of course, he joins the party. There are objects around, destroy them for possible items. Head to the SE first to a PC. Clear the Mini Game and you can move on to the west. In the new area, you are to go to north of the lower floor. Well then, explore the upper level, the east, west and anywhere for objects. Once you are ready, go north from the lower level, to an EVS Plate. Beyond that is another fight. Enemies: Pilum, Scutum Not much stronger than the last time. Form the Recovery Formation & you should be fine. Jr can steal from each of them for items, while others can charge up APs. Pilum only takes about 3 or 4 Deathblow to kill, Scutum is a bit annoying since it uses Medica on himself from time to time. Use Boost if you need to. Afterward, besure to get the objects in this room. Now back track out the Ormus Fortress. That ends this Chapter. You may save. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Chapter 18 - Hilfe/Help> You will be at Old Miltia. Go right for few objects. Go on and more objects. At the next area, you will get a message from Jinkei. A new PF, Training Formation by using Jin, where you get 10% more EXP. After, go left for some hidden object that's off screen. After, move on to the east. You will come to a shelter. Go in. Destroy the objects for items, and there is also an EVS Plate. Also, there are 2 Shops here, nice stuff but they are pretty expensive. Best of all, you can buy 4 kinds of P Drug here but they aren't that cheap. Make sure you got the Skill CB On for characters, this will be helpful soon. Once you are ready, continue on for a fight. Enemy: Proto Dora Form the Recovery Formation as usual. Besure to steal as well. Proto Dora can deal heavy damage, but the Recovery Formation is enough. You will see why: If you have the skill CB On for the characters then the E.S can also Counter Boost when Proto Dora attacks you. Remember that you get your HPs healed upon each E.S' turn, so you will be healing a lot, as long as Proto Dora attacks then you get Counter Boost. Attack with Y then stop it with B, then Deathblow next turn. After, go on to get to Labyrinthos. Make sure you check your Pilots, then get near that E.S for another battle. Enemy: E.S Naphtali No E.S Dinah, but you should be ok. Don't bother to steal, charge up and use 2 or 3 Deathblow to finish it off. Enemy: E.S Naphtali E.S Dinah will join in and time for Round 2. Form the Recovery Formation & you can steal items from it now. It doesn't have that many HPs and the weakness is Spirit. Pretty easy fight if you can Counter Boost. Within Labyrinthos, you are off the E.S and on foot now. Go left a bit for a Mail from Miyuki. Besure to equip this M.W.S. 5 to Shion. Move on for a battle. You may go in afterward. Alright, first up, 2 warps. Left leads to items and 2 more warps to choose at the end. The further one is the right one of the 2 warps from the beginning, so to go on, take the near right one. Next, take the left warp. At the end, you'll be at the next area. There is an EVS Plate and you will get a Mail where KOS MOS gets the R Dragon Deathblow. The gate here is locked. For the western section, destroy everything but the rock. For the eastern section, destroy everything but the red box. This will unlock the gate. Go through the gate once you are ready. Enemy: Margulis, Margulis(Clone) Usually the back one is the real one. Regardless, you can steal from both. Form the Recovery Formation as usual, but you still need to get at least 1 character to heal all the time. Margulis does have attacks that deal heavy damage or just KO a character right away. With Counter Boost and Max Level Deathblow, this is not all that hard. Once you stole the items from the Clone, take it out. Afterward, go on to north to where the Zohar is. One more battle at the end. Enemy: E.S Issachar Form the Recovery Formation and besure to steal. Pretty easy battle if you can Counter Boost. The move to watch out for is "In The Beginning", get someone to heal after if you need to. Otherwise, charge up AP and few Deathblow should do it. After, that ends this Chapter. You may save. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Chapter 19 - Befreien/Release> You will get the "Hammer Chapter" added to the Sub Story. View it to get the Junk Circuit B. Afterward, with Shion, walk up a bit and a Mail from Jinkei. It is indeed SHOW TIME!!! Jinkei is the super optional boss, awaits you at Second Miltia Street Area. I doubt you are ready right now, but you can go check him out if you wish. Anyway, go around the Elsa to speak with various characters. Once you got all characters except KOS MOS and Jin, head to the west area of B1F. Jin & KOS MOS will come, and you can select the next location: To Omega System, To 2nd Miltia or To Durandal. Check out 2nd Miltia. You can check out the 2 Shops, 2nd Division of Vector, as well as Jin's Home. If you go to the southern section, you can fight all these robot enemies. Characters fighting robots are tough but it isn't something you can't manage. You can also encount SIX Level 4 which is pretty nuts. Within Moby Dicks, toward the logo that's on the floor. This will get you the Pursuit 6. The hint is "Hard Bed" this time. As you can see, there is oldman Jinkei right in front of Moby Dicks. No need to save your game cuz even if you lose, it's not Game Over. Speak with him and go pick the 1st option to battle. You mostly need a Level 70+ party. Mine are only are around Level 60 at this point. But, if you need more Money, then you can go steal the Soundless Belt(No Random Encounters) from Jinkei, then die. You will get to keep it and you can sell it for 5000. You can repeat forever as long as you don't beat Jinkei. At the garden/outside of Jin's Home, there is a Mysterious Sword. You will get the "Oni/Demon Killer" at the end. This is the strongest sword for Jin, besure to equip it. Speak with Mathews, you can go back to the Elsa or ride the E.S to get to the space which you can fight enemies to train. Don't forget that there is another Shop on the Elsa. Within the Elsa, to the B1F's east room for the Pursuit 7. Your reward is the Battler Ring with Boost+1 at the beginning of the battle. If you want to go to another location, then to the west area of the B1F. From Durandal, you can get to the Kukai Foundation. There is that Vault/Safe, another Shop and besure to speak with Hakase in the Robo Academy for the Boost Device. This is KOS MOS' strongest weapon. That's about it, once you are ready, go to the Omega System. You can't go back once you are in. Go on and there is an EVS Plate. Next area, objects on both sides, then to the next area. Go on and check objects at NE, then to the SE to another area. Go through the invisible path. Area with the pipes. Now, ignore the near left/right, go north. Next up, go to the left, go north a bit then to the right and you can go straight to north. There is one more EVS Plate. Time for another battle. Enemy: Proto Omega Pretty easy battle overall. Asher, Dinah & Zebulun can form Recovery Formation as usual. Charge up AP for Deathblow, works pretty well along with the Counter Boost skill. Also, don't forget to steal. After, that ends this Chapter. You may save. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Chapter 20 - Herz/Heart Beat> (FINAL) You will be controlling Jr. Head up toward the lift. All other characters will join up with Jr. Head to the Bridge of the Elsa. A Mail on the way, Shion gets the M.W.S. ZX, her strongest weapon. Now, speak with Mathews and you will get 3 locations again: To Space Time Anomaly, To Second Miltia or To Durandal. This is your last chance to wrap up everything before you end the game. Once you are ready, to the Space Time Anomaly. Go up a bit, go left and right for objects. The left is chaos' strongest weapon. Move on for a fight. Enemy: Albedo Form the Recovery Formation and keep on the Deathblowings. He shouldn't be able to absorb more than you can damage, if you attack with Max Level Deathblow. After, likewise, left and right got object, then to north for more fight. Enemy: Albedo Form the Recovery Formation and keep on the Deathblowings. He got stronger move this time, but with Counter Boost plus the Recovery Formation, you shouldn't be fine. It takes a while though since he got lots of HPs. Like before, object to the left and right. Plus, there is an EVS Plate. We got another battle. Enemy: E.S Simeon Same as before, Recovery Formation and Max Level Deathblow. It takes next to no time to take it down. After, go on to north for the final battle of the game. Enemy: Albedo Piazzolla This is it, the final battle and a lot easier than the previous ones. Keep on the Deathblow and Boost. Use Recovery Formation if you need to, you really do not need it at all. That's it, you beat the game. Sit back and enjoy the ending. At the end, you'll unlock the Museum where you can view Character, Background, Movie, Voice, Sound and Visual. As the game says, "To Be Continued Episode III", see you till July 6th, 2006! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Special Dialogue Translation> Some of you E-Mailed me about the dialogue between Wilhelm and chaos in Chapter 17, so here's the translation you asked: Wilhelm: It's been a long time, Yeshua. After all, I'm thrilled that your voice can be heard again. But, didn't your heart decided to pass time as a bystander? No, more of a guardian. The Jupiter Riot and the Sealer Crisis, as well as on the occasion of the Miltian Conflict too, near those whom I gave the E.S to, there were your appearances. Even so, you never contacted my place directly. Therefore, I'm thrilled, Yeshua. chaos: I never thought that your interference to Shion and others up till now would become such obvious things. Wilhelm: Interference? But, power was essential for her and others, wasn't it so? Also for me, it's an unbearable thing to send important employee to dangers helplessly. chaos: You, do you wish to repeat that again? Wilhelm: What's that? chaos: In the past, the E.S invited tragedies. No, more like the late tragedies were because they encountered with the Anima Vessels. Wilhelm: Anima Vessels, they were your things originally. That's why you worry so much. Pitiful Yeshua. But, "It is not necessarily decided that the Samsara of the time will surely be carried out", wasn't that you who said that in the past, Yeshua? If so, don't be puzzled. We already passed a long time. I am looking forward to your decision. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Credits> - Me - CJayC - Monolith Soft - Namco ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Legal Words> This document is copyrighted by Ken Zhao/Kouli.
