The Alien force is so large in number that it covers the entire sky. Negotiations are currently underway, but in case of an emergency, all Ranger Teams and Storm Teams are to report to their designated posts. Weapons I used: AF18 Assault Rifle - Good at close range when fighting the bugs Cascade 1 Rocket Launcher - Good for hitting big groups of bugs When you start the level you will see a cut scene with civilians running towards the screen while the screen pans up to look upon the massive alien spaceships while the reporter talks about how the aliens have been named The Ravagers. When you take control of your character also known as Storm 1 you will see many spaceships in the sky but for this level ignore all of them. As you move forward you should see civilians running towards you and away from the aliens. Here you will encounter the first and weakest of the Ravagers, the Black Terror Ant. --------------------------------------------------------------- NEW ENEMY ENCOUNTER ___ _ _ _____ _ _ | _ ) |__ _ __| |__ |_ _|__ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ /_\ _ _| |_ | _ \ / _` / _| / / | |/ -_) '_| '_/ _ \ '_| / _ \| ' \ _| |___/_\__,_\__|_\_\ |_|\___|_| |_| \___/_| /_/ \_\_||_\__| --------------------------------------------------------------- Description: The Black Terror Ant looks just as it sounds. It is a rather large black ant. It is much taller then a normal human. It's attacks include trying to bite you to shooting out some sort of orange liquid acid at you. They are the weakest and most common of the Ravagers, for now at least. --------------------------------------------------------------- As you move up you will encounter a large group of these bugs which you have to kill. Use the Cascade 1 or any rocket launcher you have as you move towards them and then use the assault rifle if the bugs get close to you. As you kill them power-ups will sometimes drop from their bodies. The green ones are weapons, the reddish ones are armor upgrades which increase your health by 1 after you beat the level. The white ones heal you and the darker green ones heal you more then the white ones. After you finish off the Black ants here look at your radar and move towards the new mass of red. You will end up at a small park where you are supposed to meet up with another Ranger Team and help them annihilate the surrounding bugs. As you approach them it is best to use a ranged weapon such as a rocket launcher or sniper rifle, the Cascade 1 in my case and then once you get right up next to them use your assault rifle. Also watch out and try not to get surrounded as their acid can hurt a lot when their is a big group of them. Once you finish this group up a third group will appear so use your radar and head towards them. They are most likely already heading towards you crawling up and down the buildings so be ready and hit them with a ranged weapon until and try to eliminate most of them that way. After you defeat these enemies you will get a mission cleared. The weapons you receive will vary but the ones I got are: MMF41-B3 (Sniper-Rifle) C24 Bomb (Special Weapon) MMF42-RA (Special Weapon) Y10 Wide Impulse (Special Weapon) UM3-J Grenade Launcher (Grenade) Buffalo G3 Burst (Shotgun) Mission #2: ___ _ |_ _|_ ___ ____ _ __(_)___ _ _ | || ' \ V / _` (_-< / _ \ ' \ |___|_||_\_/\__,_/__/_\___/_||_| Description: The city is in a state of panic because of the sudden appearance of giant insects. All available Ranger Teams and Storm Teams are to report to the scene at once. You must protect the civilians from the bugs. At this time, we do not know the relationship between The Ravagers and these giant bugs, but we are gathering data as quickly as possible. Weapons I used: I used the same as the las level as you will be mainlky fighting more Black Terror Ants and these weapons are good against them. AF18 Assault Rifle Cascade 1 Rocket Launcher As the level starts you will immediately gain control of your character. You will see the spaceships in the sky again but still keep ignoring them because you cannot do anything about them. You will also hear civilians screaming. If you look up ahead you will see why as you will see more Black Terror Ants and they are now attacking the civilians. You should be able to see their orange spray flying out. There are a lot of them so try and take as many as you can out from a distance and try not to get overwhelmed by them. Once you defeat all of the bugs the mission is over. What I got: AF17 Assault Rifle Lysander Sniper Rifle Mission #3: __ __ _ | \/ |___| |___ ___ | |\/| / -_) / -_) -_) |_| |_\___|_\___\___| Description: There are still a large number of bugs throughout the city. The Ranger Teams are continuing to carry on the fight. All deployable troops are to enter combat at once. Weapons I used: Just like the last level. AF18 Assault Rifle Cascade 1 Rocket Launcher As you start you will gain control of your character and the general will tell you how you must exterminate the bugs as they are now attacking civilians. You should be able to see the bugs ahead of you walking accross the road so head towards them and kill them. It should be just like the last level with nothing new added yet. Try and meet up with the soldiers to your right in the park first and help them and then head over to kill the rest of the bugs. The bugs are positioned all around you so just use your radar and head towards the large groups of them and usually most of them will end up running towards you whereas you can kill them. Also do not worry about destroying the buildings they are walking on with a rocket launcher as there is no consequence for doing so. Once all the bugs on your radar are destroyed the mission is cleared. What I go: No weapons. Mission #4 _ _ _ | | __ _ _ _ __| (_)_ _ __ _ | |__/ _` | ' \/ _` | | ' \/ _` | |____\__,_|_||_\__,_|_|_||_\__, | |___/ Weapons I used: AF18 Assault Rifle Cascade 1 Rocket Launcher or Volcano 3w-Burst Description: The giant bugs continue to be deployed throughout the city. They are attacking civilians and eating them. This threat needs to be eliminated at all costs. Storm 1 and 2 are to go into battle at once and support the Ranger Teams that are already engaged in combat. As the level starts you will immediately gain control of your character. You will see no enemies but if you look at your radar their is a large concentration of them. So you must head towards that concentration of red dots on your radar and get ready for a fight. When you get to them just use your rocket launcher to annihilate most of them and then your assault rifle if they get to close or to kill all the stragglers. After you defeat the first group keeping moving on towards the large needle building where the second group is. Use the same tactics to kill all of them. After you defeat them the camera will look up and lock onto the alien spacecrafts, two of them to be exact. Their bottom doors will open up and many Black Terror Ants will fall out of it onto the ground. Kill all of them and the mission will be cleared.

An assault on the Ravagers will begin at once. Air forces around the world will team up to perform a joint strike their spacecraft fleet. Meanwhile, ground infantry units are to seek out and eliminate the giant bugs on the ground. When the level starts you will be told that your job is to take out the enemies on the ground while they attack the enemies in the air. So you must head towards the concentration of red on your radar and confront the Black Terror Ants. Over the course of fighting them you will hear the reporter talking about how the EDF is attacking the Mothership and then how the Mothership deploys countless warships. You will then hear how the EDF Fighters are being rapidly destroyed and how the attack on the Mothership was a failure. You will then be told to retreat as the gunships are heading towards you. You must now destroy the enemy gunships. ----------------------------------------------------------------- NEW ENEMY ENCOUNTER ___ ___ _ _ | _ \__ ___ ____ _ __ _ ___ _ _ / __|_ _ _ _ __| |_ (_)_ __ | / _` \ V / _` / _` / -_) '_| | (_ | || | ' \(_-< ' \| | '_ \ |_|_\__,_|\_/\__,_\__, \___|_| \___|\_,_|_||_/__/_||_|_| .__/ |___/ |_| ----------------------------------------------------------------- The Ravager gunship is a flying spaceship with a silver color. It is equipped with multiple laser cannons which it will shoot at you when it flies down upon you. You may destroy them with whatever type of weapon you please. Assault rifles work good when they fly close and sniper and rocket launchers are also very effective against them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- As you look forward you will see that a very large number of gunships just appeared right in front of you and to clear the mission you must destroy them all. Fire your rocket launcher or sniper rifle to kill them before they get to close. When they do get close you can use your assault rifle to take them out. The ships have the habit of flying around you and then stopping to shot so use this time to take them out before they fire. Also keep moving throughout the entire fight. Once they are all dead the mission is complete. Weapons I got: Firecracker 2 (Special Weapon) C24 Bomb (Special Weapon) AF-V Assault Rifle AF16 Assault Rifle Mission #6: _ _ __ /_\ (_)_ _ / _|___ _ _ __ ___ / _ \| | '_| _/ _ \ '_/ _/ -_) /_/ \_\_|_| |_| \___/_| \__\___| Description: The joint air force has been annihilated by the gunships. Air supremacy is now in the hands of the enemy. The enemy mothership continues to float above the city launching a fleet of gunships. The city will be destroyed unless they are stopped at once. Attack the gunships and give the civilians time to evacuate. Weapons I used: AF18 Assault Rifle: For the bugs and gunships A Sniper or Rocket Launcher for the gunships. When the level starts you will be shown a mini cut scene of the mothership and you will see how the gunships are pouring out of it. When the level starts your camera is locked on the mothership and how the gunships are pouring out of it. After you defeat the first wave the mothership will unleash more gunships. After you defeat this second wave yet another wave will be let out of the mothership. After you defeat this third wave the mission is complete.

It appears these UFOs act something like aircraft carriers. If we don't stop the UFOs, the giant bugs will continue to cause more damage. These UFOs need to be taken down at once. Weapons I used: AF18 Assault Rifle Lysander Sniper Rifle As the level starts you will be shown a cutscene of the dropships dropping of the giant bugs and you are told how they must be destroyed. As you gain control of character you will see a dropship in front of you dropping down the giant bugs. Immediately use your sniper and aim for the reddish spot where the bugs are coming out of as that is it's week spot and fire at it until the color vanishes and ship begins to fall. ----------------------------------------------------- NEW ENEMY ENCOUNTER (Well sort of new) ___ _ _ ___ | __| |_ _(_)_ _ __ _ / __| __ _ _ _ __ ___ _ _ | _|| | || | | ' \/ _` | \__ \/ _` | || / _/ -_) '_| |_| |_|\_, |_|_||_\__, | |___/\__,_|\_,_\__\___|_| |__/ |___/ ----------------------------------------------------- The Ravagers' Flying Saucers or UFOs are their transport ships. They stay up in the sky and their bottom part opens up and anything form giant bugs to enemy robots can fall from it. This is also though it's weak spot. When it's underside doors open you can attack any part of this reddish opening and the UFO will be hurt. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- You probably won't be able to destroy one of them right away but just wait and kill the bugs until it opens again and fire at it until the ship comes falling to the ground. Once these two ships are destroyed and all the enemies they dropped your mission is complete.

However, there are reports of more UFOs heading this way. Despite having taken down the last fleet, it's clear that they still pose a considerable threat, If the reports are correct, you are to join the Ranger Teams in battle and combine your forces. Weapons I used: AF18 Cascade 1 or Volcano 3W-Burst or basically any other rocket launcher For this level just follow your radar towards the group of red dots. Once you get their eliminate all of the black ants. Once you eliminate them another group will appear on your radar. Head over to this group and defeat all of them. One you defeat this group you are told to meet up with Ranger 5 who are in battle with more of the bugs so head on over to them and defeat all of the black ants around them. After you defeat these ants you hear word that the mothership has arrives with some UFOs. You will have to destroy two UFOs which will fly towards you but one to the right and the other to the left. Once you destroy these UFOs and the bugs they release the mission will be cleared.

They look like giant shiny silver robots. They are currently assembling at the Tsugawa Inlet and Senjogahara. We will split into two units and attack them at both locations. Storm 1 is to take part in the Tsugawa Inlet defense. The enemy is to be destroyed before they reach Japanese soil. Storm 1 and 5 will be our assault teams.

It is equipped with a pair of lethal arm weapons that come in two varieties. The first is a plasma-based Gatling gun that has an extremely high rate of fire. The second is an artillery arm that is capable of lobbing explosive plasma orbs great distances. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you start the mission you start away from the beach on the road. You must walk foward some and you get a good view of the beach. From this view you should be able to hit all of the robots with either a sniper or rocket. Just attack them all until they are destroyed and then the mission will be cleared. So just sniper all of the robots and kill any gunships that come near you. Weapons I got: None Mission #10: _ /_\ _ _ _ __ ___ / _ \| '_| ' \(_-< /_/ \_\_| |_|_|_/__/ Description: The enemy was successfully prevented from landing ashore at the Tsugawa Inlet. However, our defense forces at Senjogahara were destroyed , A large army of Walking Arms are about to invade the city. The city is in danger. All deployable troops are to converge on the city and intercept the enemy. Weapons I used: AF18 Assualt Rifle Lysander Sniper Rifle As you start the mission you are shown a mini cutscene of the walking arms marching through the city and destroying it as they move. Your mission will be to destroy these enemies. As you start you will see that there are many of them on your radar. You will see one directly in front of you and one marching towards you from the left. You must quickly move and begin firing at the one in front of you and then keep moving on to the next. Try and keep moving the entire time for they won't be able to hit you with their weapons and knock you down. The AF18 is rather effective against them along with a rocket launcher or sniper. About a whole clip of the AF18 will just kill one of them and when you are shooting at them with it they usually cannot hit you. Just get close, maybe even under them, and unload. When you kill all of them you will hear a news report about how a large nest of the giant bugs has been found in eastern Japan.

The giant bugs have begun to build an underground nest. If they begin to reproduce, this planet will be overrun by those bugs. The nest needs to be destroyed at once. We will infiltrate this nest and eliminate the giant bugs from within. Weapons I used: AF18 Goalith D1, others like the cluster grenade weapon or the Cascade would also be good. When the level starts a mini cutscene shows some of the underground tunnels and the black terror ants moving through them. When you gain control of Storm 1 you are in the tunnels and must move forward and begin to fight the bugs. After you kill this first group of black ants, continue through the tunnel and you will run into another. Eventually you will here about the teams are being overrun and you are ordered to kill all bugs in sight and retreat.

They can leap several city blocks in a single jump and their spinnerets produce a sticky, acidic thread that is easily capable of plucking a jet or helicopter from the sky. The silk thread is also effective against ground units because it slows them down on contact. They are now one of the new general enemies you will fight along with the black terror ants. Do not get overwhelmed by them as their silk will hurt you and slow you down. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- As you gain control of your character you will immediately see the spiders jumping towards you. There are a lot of them so get ready for a fight. Try taking as many of them as you can out from a distance but when they get close be ready and use your assault rifle to take them out. They are not much stronger then the terror ants but their numbers are strong. Once you defeat the surrounding spiders the mission is cleared.

They've caused much destruction in the city. These creatures are extremely deadly in battle and the Ranger Teams are having a tough time fighting them. You are to go and aid them in battle. Weapons I used: AF18 Goalith D1 When you start the level in front of you will be a group of spiders along with some EDF troops fighting them. There is also a UFO to your left floating up in the sky. For right now move forward and help the EDF troops fight the spiders and ignore the UFO as you cannot destroy it. Once you defeat the spiders in front of you there are two more locations that you must go to so look at your radar and choose one to head over too to assist the rangers in defeating the spiders. Once you defeat one of those two groups of spiders head over to the other one and kill all of them. Once you have done this then head to where the UFO is dropping off more spiders and kill them all. Once you do this the UFO will drop off one more group before it flies away. So once you kill all of them the mission is cleared. Weapons I found.

It stands taller then many buildings. It is a moving weapon and fortress. It can drop off giant bugs and the Hektor walking arms. It is also equipped with several laser cannons to defend itself and it's main weapon is a massive plasma artillery cannon when can shoot several miles away and destroy almost a mile in length at a time. As of right now you cannot destroy the fortress but do not worry as in a future mission you will be able too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- When the level starts you will be looking forward at the mothership was has something else below it. Soon you will find out that the thing below it is some sort of fortress with a very powerful plasma artillery gun on it. The fortress has powerful armor and shields around it but do not worry as you cannot destroy it now. Your mission will just be to destroy all enemies it deploys and wait until the fortress walks away and the mission is pronounced a failure. As the level starts the mothership flies up into the air leaving the fortress behind. The fortress will then start moving towards the beach. You will see the fortress begin to deploy gunships. So you will have to deal with and destroy all of them. As the fortress gets to the beach you find out it has laser cannons so if you like you can target and destroy the laser cannons. Once the fortress reaches the beach it will stop for a second and deploy some walking arms which you will have to defeat. It will deploy about five walking arms before it turns and starts to move towards the city. Just ignore the fortress and defeat the enemies around you. It will also deploy some more gunships which you will have to deal with. As it moves away you will hear about how it is charging some sort of weapon which is found to be a massive plasma cannon which hits the city six miles away and destroys about 700 meters in length of the city.

If we don't stop it here and now, it's plasma cannons will destroy the entire metropolitan area. We need to deploy immediately, but there aren�t many troops on standby. Having said that, there are several teams that are currently heading for this area. Weapons I used: AF18 Any powerful rocket launcher or sniper When the level starts you are shown a cutscene of the fortress walking through the city firing it's cannons. When you start out as Storm 1 you are in front of the massive fortress and it is walking towards you. Don't let it's foot step on you or it will hurt you. As it walks over it's hatch will open (do not fire at it now as while it is it's weak point you cannot kill it yet) and it will deploy some walking arms. As you follow the fortress it will continue to move around and deploy some gunships and walking arms. The walking arms are the most challenging part as in groups of like 5 or 6 they can easily kill you if you get to close so I suggest constantly moving away from them and firing at them with some sort of rocket or sniper rifle. Eventually you will be ordered to retreat once you eliminate all enemies in the area. The gunships are not that hard as they don't hurt you that much, the walking arms will be the real challenge. Once they are all dead the mission is cleared.

Also, some new intel just came in and the situation keeps getting worse. Giant bugs have been spotted outside eastern Japan and it appears they are coming from beneath the ground. Several bugs have been seen emerging from these holes. The holes need to be blown up to prevent the damage from spreading any further. Weapons I used: AF18-RA Zero Laser Rifle When you start out run forward and to the right you will find some black terror ants which you must kill. Also you will find a large mound or hole to the right which you must destroy as that is where the black terror ants are coming from. After you destroy the hole and defeat all the ants another hole will be found and new targets will appear on your radar. So now head towards the new targets. When you get there you will encounter more black terror ants and have to destroy another hole. It's best to try and destroy the holes from a distance and then finish off the remaining bugs. After you destroy the second hole another one is found so look at your radar and head towards it. This hole unleashes even more black terror ants. Once you destroy the hole and all of them you hear word of yet another hole so head towards this one. This hole will be different though as the spiders come from it instead of the black ants. Another good tip may be at the second hole to get into the mech suit once the second hole is destroyed and use it to slowly move towards the other holes and fire upon them. The main challenge is the final spider hole as if the spiders surround you it can be a very very fast death. After you destroy the spider hole the mission is cleared.

It appears the giant bug nests extend into an underground network. The bugs have begun to reproduce within the nest. It's only a matter of time before they take over the planet. Their nest needs to be destroyed at once. We know that entering the nest to combat the bugs is a dangerous mission, but this is all we can do to combat this new threat. Weapons I used: AF18-RA Goliath D1 In this level you will start out in the tunnels with black terror ants running towards you. The tactic I used was to actually run foward while shooting them and get into one of the tunnels and go back as far as I can while shooting missiles at the enemies trying to get me since the tunnels are small the enemies are easily bunched up to whereas a rocket kills a lot of them. I stayed back in the tunnels until they stopped coming for me and then I slowly moved my way back up and killed the remaining bugs. While fighting in the tunnels towards the end you will hear a report about a large 120 foot tall creature attacking the city and how the EDF is planning an attack on it, this will be your next mission. So continue finishing off the stragglers and once they are dead the mission is cleared.

That is your target. When you gain control of your character you can see the Dino-mech off in the distance. At this time I would use the Zero Laser Rifle and unload all of it's shots on it and then continue after that to fire the missiles at it until it dies. All you have to do is keep firing and keep your distance from the dino-mech. Once you kill it the mission is cleared. The battle should be rather quick.

To complete this mission you must destroy both of them and all of the spiders they release so as the mission starts use the Zero Laser Rifle and unload into them. You should be able to destroy them both if you are quick enough. Then you just have to finish off the remaining spiders and the mission is then cleared.

Weapons I used: MMF42-RA Sniper Rifle Zero Laser Rifle When you start out you will see several blips on your radar which are all the walking arms. If you keep moving you should be able to avoid their plasma cannons. Use some sort of sniper to take them out from a distance. After you defeat the ones on your radar several more will appear. Just stay your distance and keep moving and fire upon them all until they are all dead. When you defeat them all but about one you find out that you are in a trap. On both sides of a large number of gunships appear along with a few more of the walking robots. Continue to systematically take out the walking arms while shooting down a few gunships in between them. If you keep moving the gunships are not much of a threat compared to the walking arms.

You will have to kill all of these ants. They will make quick food of your fellow EDF soldiers so use this time to unload upon them with the Goliath and blow as many up as you can. Once they start coming towards you all you really have to do is constantly move away from them which makes it hard for them to attack you and well you are moving away use the assault rifle to slow them and then use the goliath to blow up several at a time. Keep doing this until the first wave is dead. Once they are all dead another wave of the red ants will start moving towards you. You will have to defeat all of them too. After you defeat all of them use the same tactics to defeat the third and final wave. Once this next wave is dead the mission is cleared.

Weapons I used: AF18-RA Assault Rifle MMF43 Sniper Rifle At the start of this mission you start in a canyon with two Walking Arms in front of you and the black terror ants approaching. The best thing to do would be either to use the mech in front of you to take out the walking arms as it is faster then using the sniper but once they are taken out leave it as the ants can easily destroy it. After the walking arms are destroyed run towards where they were and turn back and fight the ants. As you fight the black ants some more walking arms will soon start appearing from the other side of the level. You will have to keep moving as one of these walking arms is equipped with a plasma cannon. Once you take out these walking arms and the ants the mission is completed.

The first hole which you have to destroy is right near them in the middle of the road. So quickly destroy that hole (if you use the Governor it only takes 3 shots to destroy a hole) and defeat the remaining bugs. Once you defeat all of them head off to the next group of bugs on your radar. The next hole is actually right around the corner from the one you were just at so quickly destroy it before you move on. After it is destroyed move on forward up the street towards the next one. You will encounter some Red Terror Ants along with some spiders at this one so be ready for them. After you destroy one of these holes look around as their is another nearby. After you destroy that the hole the final two, the spider and red terror ant hole is the one you have to go to so try and quickly finish off the nearby enemies and head over to that one to finish them off. If too many of them start rushing towards you then you may have retreat for a little bit to finish them off and then move back towards the hole. Once you destroy one of them head over to the other one and finish the bugs off. Once they are all dead the mission is completed.

We need to hit the enemy hard now to give us more time to plan for this operation. Weapons I used: AF19 Zero Laser Rifle When you start the level you will see a large amount of gunships heading towards you. I would suggest looking to your left and using the mech to take down as many as you can before it get destroyed. If you could also use it to take out the Walking Arms that would be useful but if not try and take them out from a distance using the Laser Rifle. It shouldn't be that hard, when I did I took out all of the gunships and the walking arms of the first wave and my mech still had a little over 1500 health. Now once they are dead brace for the second wave of enemies. The second wave consists of even more gunships and some walking arms which come from the opposite side of the level as the gunships. You must watch out though as these walking arms are the ones with the plasma artillery cannons.

Weapons I used: AF19 Zero Laser Rifle or Cascade 2 When the level starts you must destroy all the UFOs. Ignore the Mothership as it will eventually just fly away. Quickly roll and move to the right and jump down onto the beach and use your Zero Laser Rifle or rockets to destroy one of the Motherships there. You should be able to get there and blow up the closest one. Then use your AF19 to kill the bugs and gunships moving around the area. Once you kill enough of them and the other UFO opens it's hatch use your Rifle or rockets again to quickly blow this one up before it drops too many more enemies. Then just finish up all the enemies on the beach. After they are all dead move up the hill and towards the other UFO. If you get to the right spot you should be able to hit the opened hatch as you walk up the hill and destroy it. As you move you will here the other teams talking about how it seems the mothership is shut down but as you get closer to it the mothership will slowly reactivate and eventually just fly up into the clouds. After this happens you will be told to finish off all the enemies in the area and then the mission will be cleared. After that one is destroyed you should be able to see two more. One right ahead of you and one off to the right some. The one ahead you should be able to be sniped if you get yourself into the right position. Once that one is destroyed. Walk along the hillside to the right until you can see the final UFOs open hatch and blow it up. Once all the UFOs are gone the Mothership will fly away and you will just have to finish off all the remaining bugs and gunships.

You start out near the tank and the walking mech. The walking mech is very good against the Walking Arms so I would say to get into that which is a little forward to your left and use it to destroy the Walking Arms directly in front of you. Then continue using it to eliminate the other Walking Arms and if they destroy it and then use your Zero Laser Rifle first until it runs out of ammo and then use the Cascade to finish off the rest of the Walking Arms.

Over the course of the mission Assault Spiders will attack from different sides. All you really have to do is keep firing the rockets at them and the snipers will help pick many of them off. The first wave comes from the direction you start out looking. After they are all dead the second wave will come from the left of where you start out.

You should see two UFOs with one on each side of the Fortress. Use the rifle or rockets to quickly destroy one of them. If you have the laser rifle you should be able to easily take down one. You will be attacked by the terror ants on the way to the UFOs so just kill them with your assault rifle. Once you destroy one of them the camera will lock onto the fortress as it starts to move. Once you can control the camera again quickly destroy the other UFO if you can, if not destroy all the nearby bugs until it opens again. Once they are destroyed the fortress will walk around the city deploying several waves of Terror Ants and Gunships. To complete the mission you just have to destroy all of these gunships and ants.

When the level starts you are shown a cutscene of the fortress walking through the city and firing it's massive plasma cannon as you hear your orders. When you gain control of your character you will see the fortress in front of you moving towards you. I would suggest that you quickly move and get under and behind the giant walking fortress. Then as it starts dropping enemies shot it's hatch unload with the sniper onto it. When it is closed kill as many bugs as you can around you. You can most likely try and ignore the Walking Arms it drops as they will take too long to kill. Eventually the fortress will start to blow up and fall over. Once it is dead the mission is cleared. So you don't even have to worry about the remaining enemies. Mission #35: ___ / __|_ __ _____ ___ _ __ \__ \ V V / -_) -_) '_ \ |___/\_/\_/\___\___| .__/ |_| Description: The walking fortress has been destroyed, giving us a bit of breathing room. Our next target is a group of giant bugs gathering in the mountains. Ranger Teams are already preparing for an offensive. Storm 1, you are to support the Ranger Teams and eliminate the giant bugs. Weapons I used: AF19 Goliath D1 In this level you will just have to kill off several groups of bugs. Usually I just grab the air bike and head to the left to take out the red ants as they are sort of the strongest. As you are fighting them though the spiders like to jump in the battle so you will have to be ready and able to take the red ants and spider out. Just kill all the nearby enemies and follow to where the spiders came from and finish off all of the spiders. Once they are dead you must head over to the third group of enemies the Black Terror Ants. They shouldn't be that hard so quickly eliminate all of them. After they are eliminated move over to the next group which is just more Black Ants so like before kill all of them. After they are dead you have one more target, some red Terror Ants and some Spiders. Kill as many as you can from a distance and then just use the AF19 to finish them off as they close. Then the level should be cleared. Mission #36: _____ _ _ |_ _| |_ _ _ _ _ __| |___ _ _ | | | ' \ || | ' \/ _` / -_) '_| |_| |_||_\_,_|_||_\__,_\___|_| Description: The walking fortress and the giant bugs' nest have been destroyed. We paid a high price, but things are finally looking up on the Japanese war front. Wait a moment, we are receiving a new report... Emergency! The mothership has flown into the skies above the city. It appears it is now ready for own final battle. You must destroy the mothership and its defense units. weapons I used: AF19 MMF43 In this mission you will get to see the mothership but you won't be destroying it yet, you still have awhile to go before that. You will start out in the street with some EDF soldiers nearby. You should be able to some enemies up ahead, some Black Terror Ants. Also be ready as there are some Walking Arms you will have to take out. The mothership will also deploy some gunships which you will have to destroy. After many of these enemies are dead a giant weapon like thing will deploy from the bottom of the mothership. You have two choices with it. You can either avoid it because it usually doesn't hit you or fire at it until it goes away. So after whatever you choose to do with that just finish up the bugs that are roaming around and destroy the gunships. The mothership should eventually deploy a final wave of gunships. Once they are dead the mission is cleared. Mission #37: ___ _ _ | __|_ _ _ _ _ __| |_(_)___ _ _ | _|| '_| || | '_ \ _| / _ \ ' \ |___|_| \_,_| .__/\__|_\___/_||_| |_| Description: More bad news. New holes have been discovered in teh city. More giant bugs are pouring out of those things. Those holes need to be destroyed at once. Most seem to be located around the river. You can expect the bugs to put up fierce resistance as you get closer to the holes. Weapons I used: AF19 Zero Laser Rifle When the mission starts you will see a bunch of EDF soldiers charging forward ahead of you. They are charging towards some enemy bugs and a hole. You should be able to quickly take out the hole with the Zero Laser Rifle or some other rocket or sniper from a distance. As you get closer you will find that all of the holes in this mission are in the river and around it. So you should be able to quickly take them and if the Laser Rifle runs out of ammo use unload onto them with the assault rifle. Once you destroy all of the holes and kill the bugs which came from them the mission is cleared. Mission #38: ___ _ _ / __|_ _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ _ __| |___ __| | \__ \ || | '_| '_/ _ \ || | ' \/ _` / -_) _` | |___/\_,_|_| |_| \___/\_,_|_||_\__,_\___\__,_| Description: The units sent in to destroy the alien nests were intercepted and are now surrounded by several large UFOs. It appears the UFOs are deploying giant bugs to attack the units. Given the incoming numbers, there is no way reinforcements can arrive in time. But... Storm 1 is with them. Maybe they can pull of another victory. Weapons I used: AF19 Zero Laser Rifle or Cascade 2 or Goliath D1 When you start in this level you will see a large circle of UFOs around you. They will all be dropping bugs so you will in for a fight. Right at the beginning you should be able to take out at least 1 UFO right away. Then shoot at another if they are still open. When they close get ready to fight some bugs. Your EDF troops will be able to kill some of the bugs but they will be wiped out eventually. So just keep switching from taking out the bugs to taking out a UFO one or two at a time. Once all the UFOs are dead finish off the remaining bugs and the mission is cleared. Mission #39: _ _ | | ___ __ _(_)___ _ _ | |__/ -_) _` | / _ \ ' \ |____\___\__, |_\___/_||_| |___/ Description: The Ravagers have deployed a large number of Vallak Dino-mechs around the world, and they've caused massive destruction everywhere they were deployed. Two have invaded this region as well. Omega Team has already been sent in to stop the beasts, equipped with the latest Assault Laser Guns. You are to join them in combat. Weapons I used: Zero Laser Rifle Goliath D1 This mission is just like the Dino-mech mission but instead of only one Dino-mech you now get to fight two at the same time. There are two ways you can choose to beat this mission. You can choose to use your weapons by unloading the Zero Laser Rifle into one and then firing rockets at it or you can get into the nearby mech and use it to fire it's cannon and plasma shots at the dino-mechs. If you keep constantly shooting you should be able to take both of them out rather easily and without even having to leave the mech. Mission #40: ___ _ | _ \___| |_ _ _ _ _ _ _ | / -_) _| || | '_| ' \ |_|_\___|\__|\_,_|_| |_||_| Description: The beasts have been killed. You are to now pass through the canyon and return to base. We have intel of a few giant bugs still roaming around the mountains. If you happen to encounter any, kill them on sight. Weapons I used: AF19 Assault Rifle Goliath D1 In this mission you are back inside of a canyon, hence the name return. In the mission you will start in the middle of the canyon with a squad of EDF soldiers. You will have to fight the Red Terror Ants which will approach from both sides of the canyon. Use the Goliath to hit them as they approach from a distance and then use the AF19 when they get close. The EDF troopers around you should help some and if you can take out enough of the Red Terror Ants some of them will survive. After you defeat all of the ants a second wave of them will move in to attack you. Do the same thing for the second wave and once they are dead the mission is cleared.

The city is now completely overrun with them. You are to act as a Scout Team and sneak into the city, hiding behind buildings as you approach the enemy to take them by surprise. This is a dangerous mission. Good luck. Weapons I used: Zero Laser Rifle AF19 In this level you will start out in an unusual place, on the balcony of a building. You should be able to see about two UFOs around the area and a bunch of gunships flying around. You can choose to attack the gunships with the assault rifle or you can choose to quickly jump off of the building and aim up at the UFO to the right and blow it up with the zero laser rifle before the hatch closes. This UFO also happens to be the one deploying the Assault Spiders so it will be good to quickly take it out. After this one there are two more UFOs, one dropping the Black Terror Ants and the one dropping the Red Terror Ants. You can choose what one you want to attack first but most likely you will arrive at the one dropping the Black Ants. Just shoot the ants until it opens it's hatch and take it out and then repeat for the third one. After they are destroyed finish off the remaining bugs and gunships and the mission will be completed. Mission #42: _ ___ | |/ (_)_ _ __ _ | ' <| | ' \/ _` | |_|\_\_|_||_\__, | |___/ Description: An extremely large number of giant bugs are patrolling the city. Recon has identified a leader-like creature that we believe is controlling the bugs. This leader is apparently enormous and highly combat capable. Be careful. Weapons I used: AF19 Goliath D1 In this mission you have to fight a lot of giant bugs along with the even larger ones, the nest leaders. When you start the level you should be able to see the enemies in the distance. It is best to take out all of the smaller bugs nearby before trying to take one their leaders as the leaders are best to try and take on one on one. In this level you will encounter about 3 of the massive spiders. ----------------------------------------------------------- NEW ENEMY ENCOUNTER _ ___ ___ _ _ | |/ (_)_ _ __ _ / __|_ __(_)__| |___ _ _ | ' <| | ' \/ _` | \__ \ '_ \ / _` / -_) '_| |_|\_\_|_||_\__, | |___/ .__/_\__,_\___|_| |___/ |_| ----------------------------------------------------------- Description: The King Spider is a leader of the spiders. They basically just look like even larger spiders. They have the same attack of shooting out web at you so make sure you avoid the giant web. Mainly they are just larger and tougher spiders. ------------------------------------------------------------ All you really have to do for this level is systematically move and eliminate the spiders first and then their leader either last or when it starts attacking you. Once you defeat all the enemies on our radar then the mission is completed.

Giant bugs are pouring out of the nest's hole in huge numbers. The hole needs to be destroyed to put a stop to the influx of bugs. In addition, it appears that the bugs are now being protected by Walking Arms. Fight your way to the nest and destroy the hole leading into it. When you start the level you will be by a few groups of EDF soldiers. Around you are a few vehicles around if you want to use them. You can then use your radar to head towards what group of enemies you want. You will have to destroy around 4 holes. Two of them will be letting out Black Terror Ants, one of them Red Terror Ants, and the final the Assault Spiders. Each of these holes is guarded by a Walking Arms os be ready to face them. If you can run under them just unload into them with the AF19 and they will die eventually. After all of the holes are destroyed and the bugs killed the mission is cleared.

It appears they have dug a new nest and are beginning to reproduce. We cannont allow them to further increase their numbers any further. We need to go underground and exterminate the giant bugs once and for all. The tunnel advance team is to enter the tunnel and secure the area. Weapons I used: AF19 Assault Rifle Governor 50 Shotgun or a rocket launcher or sniper rifle For this mission you are back in a tunnel like environment, this time to completely destroy the final giant bug nest. When you gain control of your character you start out towards the top of a large pit much like before. I would advise that you don't drop down as there are tons of spiders down at the bottom that would quickly kill you. Just follow the paths down and shoot the spiders from a distance as you see them. Just keep going down and attacking them. Once they are all dead the mission is cleared and you move on to the next extermination mission.

We have confirmed a large number of aliens in the upper reaches of the nest. You are to climb up the pit and eliminate the threat. Weapons I used: AF19 Zero Laser Rifle In this mission you will start out up on one of the paths leading up the pit. You will have to travel up the paths and destroy the holes that the bugs are emerging from. All you have to do is follow the paths upward until you get to a hill and then shoot the holes with the laser rifle to quickly take them out. If you run out of ammo with the rifle then just unload into them with the AF19 when you get close. The mission shouldn't be that challenging if you keep moving up and destroying all the holes. Once they are gone finish off the remaining bugs and get ready to move to the next part of the extermination, in other words the mission is cleared. Mission #46: ___ _ _ _ _ ____ | __|_ _| |_ ___ _ _ _ __ (_)_ _ __ _| |_(_)___ _ _ |__ / | _|\ \ / _/ -_) '_| ' \| | ' \/ _` | _| / _ \ ' \ |_ \ |___/_\_\\__\___|_| |_|_|_|_|_||_\__,_|\__|_\___/_||_| |___/ Description: We have reached the deepest part of the nest. The enemy is putting up heavy resistance, but not a single one of them must be allowed to survive. You are to continue fighting the enemy until the nest is completely empty of all threats. Weapons I used: AF19 Assault Rifle Goliath D1 Rocket Launcher This is the final extermination mission and the final mission in the tunnels. In this mission you will get to take out some spiders. Just use your radar and continue to move forward using the rocket launcher to eliminate groups of the spiders and if you have to use the AF19 to kill them when they get close and you have to reload. Once they are all dead them mission is completed and it will be time to return to the surface. Mission #47: _ _ _ _ | | | |_ __ _ _(_)__(_)_ _ __ _ | |_| | '_ \ '_| (_-< | ' \/ _` | \___/| .__/_| |_/__/_|_||_\__, | |_| |___/ Description: The alien nest has been destroyed! A large portion of their population has been wiped out, with the lord of their nest forced out to the surface. He has gathered his remaining followers for an assault. It is time for a showdown with the giant bugs. Weapons I used: AF19 Assault Rifle Goliath D1 Rocket Launcher Now the battle to kill the giant bugs is taken to the surface. This time you will have to fight both Queen Ants and King Spiders in the same mission. When you start the level you should able to see some Terror Ants up ahead and one of the Queen Ants up at the top of the Space Needle. You can either snipe it from a distance or even if you like take the nearby helicopter and fly up and kill it. After it is dead you should be able to see another of the massive bugs nearby most likely one of the Spider Kings. You can choose to continue using the helicopter until it is destroyed or just fire at it with the rocket launcher until it dies or even use the AF19 if you like. Just keep moving. You should be able to see and avoid the massive spider's web shots due to their size. Now there are still two more Queen Ants and two more King Spiders left. So for now just finish off all the smaller bugs around you before you try and confront the large ones. Choose what one you want to target and try to kill it from a distance. Then repeat the same strategy with the other three. Once they are all dead kill the remaining normal sized giant bugs and the mission will be cleared. Mission #48: __ __ _ _ \ \ / / _ __ _| |_| |_ \ \/\/ / '_/ _` | _| ' \ \_/\_/|_| \__,_|\__|_||_| Description: The lord of the giant bugs has been killed. This has, however, caused the remaining giant bugs to become even more aggressive. Every giant bug across the country is now making a beeline for our location. Troops, get ready to fight the largest enemy army yet! Weapons I used: AF19 Goliath D1 or Cascade 2 or Volcano-3W This mission is rather difficult, even more so on the higher difficulties. You will be swarmed with a large amount of enemies. So you must be ready and learn to be on the move while taking out the bugs. Soon after you take control of your character you should see a massive wave of enemy bugs charging towards you from the direction you are facing. Try and take out as many of the bugs you can from a distance as if too many get around you then you will die rather quick. Just keep moving back while shooting at the bugs. When the bugs reach the other EDF soldiers and attack them use this extra time to take out more bugs. You should be able to hopefully take out the first wave before they have a chance to get close to you. After you finish of all of them the second wave of enemies comes towards you but this time from two opposite directions. It would be good to choose the closest group and keep firing into them and kill as many as you can before they get close. Hopefully you will be able to kill off most of one of the groups before the other one gets too you. Once it does though you will have to keep moving away from them while shooting back to kill them. Use the AF19 to slow them and then blast them away with some rockets. One thing you have to avoid is getting webbed up by the spiders and then being surrounded by the Red Terror Ants. If this happens you will most likely die rather quickly. After you kill all of this second wave you will have to defeat one more. This time three groups of bugs will attack from three different directions. Usually most of the bugs will move in and attack the remaining EDF soldiers so if some are alive use this time to your advance and take out as many bugs as possible. If you stay far back and keep moving you can hopefully kill most of the bugs before they get too close. Once they do however just use the same tactics as before and constantly move away while firing. Once they are all dead the mission is completed. Mission #49: ___ _ _ _ | __| (_) |_ ___ | _|| | | _/ -_) |___|_|_|\__\___| Description: Emergency! Elite Red Gunships are approaching. These ships managed to destroy our European command center. A direct assault will almost certainly result in massive casualties.

If you keep moving throughout the level you most likely won't get hurt that much Just keep shooting the FORK-A20 in their direction and the missiles will harm then. Then when they get close use the AF19. You will find that they can take a lot more damage then the normal gunships so just keep firing at them and they will blow up eventually. Once you blow them all up the mission is over. Mission #50: _ _ _ | | | |_ _ | |___ _ _____ __ ___ _ | |_| | ' \| / / ' \/ _ \ V V / ' \ \___/|_||_|_\_\_||_\___/\_/\_/|_||_| Description: A new type of alien creature has appeared. It appears to be a cyborg version of the Vallak Dino-mech. Several units were already deployed to combat the creature, but we have been informed that we had nearly 100% casualties due to the creature's tremendous firepower. We will deploy three Ranger Teams to provide backup. You are to go with them and destroy the beast.

Heavier armor has been added to protect the beast's soft spots and its arms have been removed to make room for two massive laser cutting cannons. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This whole mission is just fighting against this unknown Dino-mech hybrid. When it starts just unload all the Zero Laser Rifle shots into it and then use the missile launcher to fire keep firing at the creature until it is defeated. The mission itself shouldn't be that challanging or long.

Without reinforcements available, our defeat too, seems inevitable. A large division is gathering in the ruins of what was once Tokyo. It appears they are preparing for an all-out assault. We will issue a preemptive strike and fight back no matter what the cost is! Weapons I used: AF19 Zero Laser Rifle or Cascade 2 In this level you will have to destroy the final UFOs, there are 5 of them. Right when the level starts use whatever weapon you chose to quickly eliminate at least one or maybe two if you are lucky. Then well you wait for the others to reopen up use your AF19 to attack the giant bugs. The UFOs may even drop some Walking Arms so be sure to take them out for they won't start blasting you as you try to destroy the UFOs. Just keep doing this process until you get close enough to each of the UFOs to destroy them. Once they are dead along with the bugs then the mission is cleared. Mission #52: ___ __ |_ _|_ _ / _|___ _ _ _ _ ___ | || ' \| _/ -_) '_| ' \/ _ \ |___|_||_|_| \___|_| |_||_\___/ Description: The enemy army division has been destroyed, but other units scattered throughout the country have changed course and are headed for our location. We are now surrounded. It appears all is lost. We may have no chance, but we will show the Ravagers that the EDF will never back down until the last of us has fallen. Weapons I used: AF19 but use the AF20 if you got it Cascade 2 or some other rocket or sniper When you gain control of Storm 1 you will be with some EDF soldiers and you should be able to see a large enemy army in front of you. This is one of the final missions so it will be tough. You should be able to see almost every normal enemy, the Black and Red Terror Ants, some Walking Arms, and some Gunships. First I would advise you use the nearby mech to take out all the enemy bugs and maybe even a Walking Arm or two before they overwhelm and destroy it. Once it is dead use your AF19 to finish the rest of the enemies off. Once they are all dead the mission isn't over yet. You will then see two UFOs drop down from the sky and start to drop more enemies. Some Elite gunships will also be flying in so get ready to fight those. Right when you see the UFOs come down see if you can quickly destroy at least one when it opens and then be ready to destroy the other when it reopens it's hatch. Once you destroy both of them and finish off the remaining giant bugs and the Elite gunships the mission will be cleared and it is time to fight the mothership in the final mission. Mission #53: ___ _ _ _ / __| |_ __ _ _ _ __| |_ (_)_ __ \__ \ _/ _` | '_(_-< ' \| | '_ \ |___/\__\__,_|_| /__/_||_|_| .__/ |_| Description: The mothership has finally shown its true form. It appears it is intent on destroying us and putting an end to our existence. There is nowhere to run. We will gather our remaining troops and conduct one final assault on the mothership. Weapons I used: AF19 or AF20 Cascade 2 or Goliath D1 or one of the high Lysanders if you found one. In this mission you will actually be able to fight the Mothership and even destroy it. It will be a challenge but you can do it. When you gain control of your character you will be by a few squads of EDF troopers. If you can aim up and take out the UFOs around the mothership when they open for they can't drop any more enemies. Then just wait and take out any enemies that come close to you. After a short amount of time you will see the Mothership open it's bottom hatch and deploy the giant weapon which you saw in an earlier level. As soon as the giant weapon deploys began to fire at it constantly. you must keep moving as you do this. After some time of firing the weapon will drop from the mothership and crash into the ground. While your teammates will think this is victory they are wrong. Panels will float off the mothership and hover around it. Each of this panels is a laser cannon. You must keep moving at all times and watch for the bottom of the mother ship to open and unleash it's core which is a glowing red object much like the other alien vehicle's weak spots. After it gets damaged some more the mothership will deploy even more cannons. You will just have to remember that even with all the craziness you must focus your weapons on the core when you can see it. Once you see it start exploding just keep moving and run away from it. After it hits the ground and explodes you will here the general talking some and then the mission will be completed. You have now completed Earth Defense Force 2017. The credits will then come up but you can easily skip them. If you want to get all the achievements you will have to replay all these levels 4 more times. Also to get all the weapons you will be replaying them some more. =========================================================================== VII: # ##### # ###### #### ## # # # ##### # # ###### ###### # # # # # # # # # # # # # # ##### # # # # ##### # # # ##### ##### # # # ### ###### # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # ####### ###### #### # # ###### ##### # #### # # ============================================================================ This guide is Copyright � 2007 ShadowDragon777 This may be not be reproduced under any circumstances except for personal, private use.
