Bright, Tores and Zaekusa in the Nel Aghama. Your party goes against the Giganos Empire, led by Malliot's 3 subordinates, Carl, Wellner and Durn. Grunt units in the form of Drows are present for you to kill. 2) ZZ Gundam's Double Beam Rifle is enough to take one grunt down in one shot. However consider upping the morale of the Puru Twins, as well as Rue and Judo's. Those who have support defend, should stick beside Nel Aghama, and gain some of their morale by defending Nel Aghama (by being hit of course) from enemy attack (from Wellner, Carl and Durn specifically). 3) When dealing with the Drows, do not kill them with Z Gundam's Hi Mega Launcher. Instead, conserve your EN and counter-attack with Beam Rifles, and if able, Beam Sabres. You will need your EN when attacking the Giganos Trio. 4) Wellner, Carl and Durn have 8900 HP, and their Gattling Guns are something to fear, dealing 1300 damage to Nel Aghama, and that's 10% of its total HP! They will directly attack Nel Aghama without condition, so keep Nel Aghama surrounded with Super Gundam, Quebeley mk II (Puru) and Mega Rider. When counter-attacking those three Giganos dodos, choose Nel Aghama's missiles because they have a higher hit percentage, and when they connect and hit, they deal around 2900 damage to them. The Mega Particle Cannons are most likely to miss. 5) Do take care that if Megarider is close by, the Trio will attack it instead of Nel Aghama. Do take care of Mondo because he's your only repair unit. 6) When the Trio's HP is knocked down to 3000 HP or less, have Bicha cast "Luck" and use his Hyaku-Shiki to kill two of them. This will take you two turns (one enemy down per turn). Have Ele cast "Aid" on Bicha too, when killing one of them, so he gets twice the experience. The rest, you can kill at your own will. If you want, you can even use Bright to kill the remaining enemy. 7) Once you defeat all enemies, Medius appears, as well as Cerbers. The scenario conditions change. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Knock Medius' HP down by 80% Lose condition - Cerbers or Nel Aghama is destroyed **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Medius has 16000 HP, and is definitely hard to beat, with Cerbers and Medius very far away from your party at this point. The thing is, you don't NEED to decrease Medius' HP down. After a few turns, Medius will retreat, regardless on whether you damaged it or not. It's up to you if you want to damage it for all time's sake. SCENARIO 2 Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - One of your units is destroyed Strategies: 1) Dragonar 1, 2, 3, and EVA-02 sorties. Asuka speaks Deutsche: LCL Fullng. An fang der Bewegung. Anfang des nerven anschlusses. Ausloses von links-kleidung. Sinkio-start. Malliot, his 3 subordinates and grunt units sortie to meet you. 2) Make sure that the 3 Dragonars are near each other, with D3 being in the center because of his EWAC. EVA-02 is plugged to a ship, so Asuka's movements are limited, but it's not that impacting anyway. Beware, although that the grunt enemies are easy, they can still hit Dragonars at 53% hit rate, and can be very deadly (at 800-1200 damage). Make sure D1 is moved in closer so Ken can attack first. The enemies are smart and will target D3 all the time so take note of its HP well. For those 3 enemies, make sure 1 Dragonar unit kills 1 grunt. 3) Later your party sorties near Malliot. The objectives change. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - Nel Aghama is destroyed Strategies: 1) When your party draws closer to Malliot, the his Trio will attack your Nel Aghama party while alliot will solo against the Dragonar Team and EVA-02. Their Gelphs are still at 8900 HP. 2) Since Hugo is LV7, let Aqua cast "luck" then destroy one of the Trio members. The rest, do what you did last scenario, have Bicha cast "luck" then kill the remaining 2. How you deplete their HP is up to you, as they are very easy. MAKE SURE YOU KILL ALL OF THEM, LEAVING MALLIOT BEHIND AGAINST THE DRAGONARS. **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Malliot's Falken has 15000 HP, and his main target is Ken and will ALWAYS attack Ken. Malliot's Falken is fast and deadly, where missiles deal 3000 damage, gattling guns 2000 damage, and D1's shield is even little help. By now, the Dragonars have 110 morale, so use the D-Formation Attack (their Synchro-attack) against Malliot and use EVA-02 to the max. MAKE SURE D3 DOES NOT ATTACK MALLIOT BECAUSE IT'S LETHAL. 2) Drain Malliot's HP down to 5200. TAKE CARE NOT TO SINK HIS HP DOWN TO LESS THAN THAT OR HE WILL RETREAT, AND ANY OTHER ENEMY UNIT STILL ALIVE WILL RETREAT WITH HIM. 3) With the Falken's HP at 5200, sink D1 underwater, directly beside EVA-02. Make sure that D1 is also beside D3 as well. Have Ele cast "aid" on Ken to double his experience. Make Ken cast both "endure" and "concentrate", then attack Malliot with the D-Formation Attack, supported by EVA-02's strongest attack (the one where she shoots all her projectile weapons). SCENARIO 3 Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - One of your units is killed Strategies: 1) Debut of RahXephon. The first three episodes of the anime are neatly condensed into a few minutes, just as you start the scenario. Elphie sorties in her red jet. Ayato sorties in RahXephon, just in time to meet the Dolem, Allegreto. Just play along the scenario and watch the scene. 2) Later your party sorties. The objective changes. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Decrease Medius' HP by 80% Lose condition - Cerbers or Nel Aghama is defeated Strategies: 1) You can't move or attack, but you can cast spells. Medius will keep on attacking Cerbers, so make Hugo casts "flash" or simply defend (to lessen the damage taken if ever Cerbers gets hit). Later RahXephon appears and then will leave the map. Elphie then apppears in her red jet, and 6 Dotems appear in the map. The objective will change yet again. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - Elphie's red jet or Nel Aghama is defeated Strategies: 1) The Dotems are extremely easy, as Elphie can shoot one down with just her missile. Destroy all 6 using anyone you want, and make sure that those who can cast "luck" destroys some Dotems as well. No need for special strategies. ***IMPORTANT NOTE!*** Now that the free order system is in place, here's what I'll do: I will pick the first scenario that appears on top, then as I finish one scenario after the other, I'll be going down one by one, step by step as I progress, making a linear pattern. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. I WILL NO LONGER REPEAT MENTIONING THIS. SCENARIO 4 Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - Dendoh is destroyed Strategies: 1) Have Vega whip the Orbiton, then let Dendoh do the final blow, Shippu San Ren Geki to kill it. Later, Devil Satan 6 appear his army of grunts. Hokuto and Ginga performs command install and adds more weapons to Dendoh. Your party sorties later, and the objective changes. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - Dendoh or Nel Aghama is destroyed Strategies: 1) Destroy all enemies as usual, take care to let Grandizer kill a lot, not to mention Getta Dragon and Getta Q, where they have 2 synchro-attacks, the Twin Tomahawk and the Double Getta Beam. **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Devil Satan 6 has 17000 HP and is a bit nutty to kill considering his defense. One of the main methods is to annoy him by making Vega whip him over and over, taking care to avoid his Chain Knuckles (they have 1% hit rate on Vega). His hit rate is even high, even a LV8 Judo haslow chance of dodging him. 2) The good thing about Devil Satan 6 is that he will not escape, and hence you don't need any special tactic to beat him up. Just clobber him with any character you wish. Do remember that Vega has "bless", while Hugo has "luck". Cast "bless" on the character that kills Devil Satan 6, and make sure to add a support attack if necessary (preferably from Dendoh, because Hokuto and Ginga currently have high moral in this scenario). **TIP!** The best character to kill Devil Satan 6 is Hugo in his Cerbers because he has the "great luck" skill that increases cash obtained, and Aqua has "luck". If you follow this tip, then use Dendoh as the support attacker since Ginga has support attack ready and his morale is very high. In this case, use Cerbers to attack with the strongest weapon readily available, and have Dendoh support attack with any readily available strongest weaopn. SCENARIO 5 Objective: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - Nel Aghama is destroyed Strategies: 1) Deploy your party and fight against 4 Death Armies and 4 Death Birdies. A very easy fight, but it's best if you give morale to the Dragonar Team for the time being to enable their synchro-attacks earlier. 2) Later, Domon deploys with Fuun Saiki. An event triggers and you're forced to enter a Gundam Fight with Sai Si Ci. George Du Sand watches by in his Gundam Rose. Mission obective changes. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Halve Dragon Gundam's HP Lose condition - God Gundam or Nel Aghama is destroyed Strategies: 1) The objective is easy to accomplish... one God Finger and one God Slash Typhoon is enough to beat the crap out of Dragon Gundam. An event triggers again, realizing that both Sai Si Ci and George Du Sand are both infected with DG Cells. The mission objective changes yet again. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose - God Gundam or Nel Aghama is destroyed Strategies: 1) Once you gain control of Domon and the rest, make sure to let God Gundam ride no Fuun Saiki (by choosing "combine" in God Gundam's menu), then fly away near your party. By then, your repair units would be close by to repair God Gundam from any damage he may have acquired from Dragon Gundam and Rose Gundam. Your party will take care of the Death Armies and Birdies on the way. Be alert because Sai Si Ci and George Du Sand will chase Domon all the way. **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Dragon Gundam and Rose Gundam are all very easy and won't escape, and despite the fact that they both have 16000 HP and look very menacing and fearsome with DG Cells on, they are surprisingly easy. First off, their morale is normal, and they won't be using their most powerful moves. Limitedly, Dragon Gundam will just use Fei Long Flag all the time, and Gundam Rose will either use Chevalier Sabre or Roses Bit. Regardless of what attack they would execute amongst those, they deal very little damage, and they will always attack Domon. 2) Use Domon to deplete their HP using either Sekiha Tenkyouken or God Finger, then if you feel like finishing them off using Domon, just don't forget to make Vega cast "bless" and Ele "aid" on him. With the double experience and money, Domon's level will soar from 11 to 16 in an instant. The other Gundam is best killed by Hugo's Cerbers, and again, have Ele cast "aid" on him, and Aqua cast "luck", and use the Terminus Cannon to kill the other Gundam. SCENARIO 6 Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - Grandizer is destroyed, or if any enemy reaches the base Strategies: 1) Grandizer deploys by himself at the start of the scenario. Malliot and company deploys with their Metal Armor army. Head for the lower Metal Armors and dispose of them. An event will trigger and Grandizer will head towards Malliot's direction. Destroy the grunt Metal Armos, taking care that they don't even touch the base. 2) Later your party will deploy, so head towards Grandizer's direction and put some weak units on the base (as in they are standing there) to avoid the enemy from even touching the base. **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Unlike the previous scenarios, Malliot's team will attempt to head towards the base you are protecting, but they will still attack no matter what. Destroy Wellner, Carl and Durn as quick as possible. This is a good chance to level up your Dragonar units, or anyone who has "great effort". Remember to make Ino and Ele cast "Aid" on those who are killing the trio! If you want to cast "luck" before killing any of them feel free to do so. But it's best if you at least leave one more "luck" spell (preferably, by Aqua) free. Don't touch Vega's "bless" spell yet. 2) Malliot, like in the previous scenarios, will retreat if his HP drops to less than 5000. Also, any of his army left alive will retreat along with him. To kill him then, you have to decrease his Falken's HP to 6000. Position Dendoh beside Grandizer or Getta Dragon with Getta Queen beside it. End your turn, but make sure that Falken's surrounded that he has no more space to move. On your next turn, have Vega cast "bless" on either Getta Dragon or Grandizer (depending on who you chose to kill Malliot). Cast the necessary spells, then attack Malliot using Double Getta Beam or Grandizer's Kanjuryoku Storm, supported by Dendoh's Shippu Sanrengeki. Either way, Malliot's Falken will fall. 3) As the scenario progresses, Barentos appears with his small Vega army. They are very easy and don't need special strategy to kill. Take them out in a jiffy. Remember that the objective still stands. You will lose if any of them touch the base. 4) Barentos will not flee if his saucer's HP will fall, so no need to do whatever strategy to kill it. However, it depends on you on who will kill him. Since you already spent Vega's "bless", I would suggest you use Hugo to kill him, again, due to Aqua's "luck" spell and Hugo's "great luck" skill. You can clean up the scenario in a few minutes. SCENARIO 7 Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - Zeorymer is destroyed Strategies: 1) Zeorymer debuts. You will go on a solo match as you start the scenario. Masato and Miku piloting Ten No Zeorymer VS Kaze No Lanstar. There's no need to worry about this fight, and I would suggest you enjoy this fight as much as possible. **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Kaze No Lanstar will use his wind attacks against you (since it's its only weapon anyway). No it's not too serious, and besides you can snipe Kaze No Lanstar using your ranged weapon, Enerugi No Hou (Energy Waves). If Kaze No Lanstar comes close to melee, by all means smack him on the kisser and punch him. 2) Unfortunately (or is it fortunately) for you, an event will trigger as the duel progresses. I won't spoil it for you, you just have to see it or yourself. Regardless of what you are thinking, Zeorymer will leave, and your party will be deployed, with Dendoh and Vega auto-deployed. Unicorn Drill, Dendoh's first Data Weapon will also appear. The objectives will change. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies, Dendoh reaches Unicorn Drill Lose condition - Unicorn Drill, Dendoh, Vega's Motorcycle or Nel Aghama is destroyed Strategies: 1) There is nothing for you to worry about because everything in this scenario is fixed. You may want to bring your characters closer to Unicorn Drill to support it, but the truth is, it doesn't really matter. Just continue with the scenario and a very important Dendoh event will trigger. Once you defeat all enemies, the scenario is over. SCENARIO 8 Objectives: Win condition - Destroy Ouga Lose condition - Dendoh is destroyed Strategies: 1) A very easy fight... just bring Dendoh in and keep on attacking Ouga and an event will trigger. Watch it, and later you will be asked to deploy your party. Sortie and Devil Satan 6 along with Diondora will appear. The objectives will change again. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies except the 5th Angel Ramiel Lose condition - Dendoh or EVA-01 is attacked or if Nel Aghama is destroyed 1) First off, Dendoh, EVA-01 and EVA-00, are still and you can't control them. The Enemies are nearby so you have to move quickly and kill them before they even go near and attack your EVA units. This is not too hard a task, so bring some of your party members to meet the Gandorans. DO NOT BRING YOUR ENTIRE PARTY TO THEM. 2) The reason is this: a few turns later, Ouga appears in the opposite side of the map. However a surprise awaits you, as Rom Stoll appears in Genryu to help defend Dendoh. Of course, he can't beat up Ouga alone, so the other party members that you didn't bring to Devil Satan 6 and Diondora should accompany Rom. Leo Circle (the Lion Data Weapon) also appears in this map. The objectives change. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies except the 5th Angel Ramiel Lose condition - Dendoh or EVA-01 is attacked or if Genryu/Baikanfu or Nel Aghama is destroyed Strategies: 1) Later as you progress, Dendoh will be readily available and you will receive the Leo Circle Data Weapon. Ginga will install it on Dendoh immediately and you will attack Ouga with it. **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Devil Satan 6 is still easy, despite having 17000 HP. Before Ouga arrives, he will defend, but afterwards, he will be easy to the bone. Just clobber him with your normal attacks, after all he won't escape. Be mindful of his Chain Knuckles though. Keep your Dragonars and Mobile Suits protected by casting "concentrate" or "resist" if possible, to prevent things from getting ugly. Kill Devil Satan 6 with anyone who has the "luck" spell. 2) Diondora has 19000 HP and is a sniper, but she has one weakness that is soooo tempting to abuse... she will attack the lowest HP allies that are within target range (and her range is 7). Make sure TFO is within reach, so she will attack Koji, without success. TFO will surely dodge, and Diondora's hit rate is 0%. This and she doesn't retreat either, so do with her what you will. This is one of the best times to level up someone you haven't been leveling for quite some time. You can use Vega to cast "bless" on that person you want to use to kill Diondora, or you can let Getta Dragon kill her, with Hayato casting "luck" and Ryouma casting "great effort" before killing. 3) The Phenomena, despite that it's red and looks like a big spikey mine, is not difficult. You need no strategy to kill it, and you can kill it using anyone you want, preferably with "luck". 4) Ouga is not difficult, but rather annoying. To defeat him would require many, many attacks from Baikanfu and Dendoh. If God Gundam is close by, use Domon to attack Ouga with Sekiha Tenkyouken or God Finger. Do take note that Ouga will defend often if necessary, making any damage you deal against him to be halved. If there are many units within range, Ouga will execute its map weapon, the Senkou Raijingeki. Take care of Dendoh because it is dangerous and can halve Dendoh's HP. Nevertheless, you can keep on attacking Ouga until he chooses to "dodge" only as a final resort (when his HP is really low, like 2900 HP). When doing this, you can either use Dendoh to kill him using the Leo Circle Final Attack (and make sure Ginga casts "lock on" and Vega casts "bless" on him if you didn't use it yet). If you don't have "bless" anymore and Fuun Saiki has "luck", then let Fuun Sauki cast it, and Domon cast "concentrate" and kill Ouga using God Finger (since it has a higher hit percent age). SCENARIO 9 Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - One of your units is destroyed Strategies: 1) Raideen and its companion ship Bruger deploys in the scenario. There are 6 Delcums to kill and they are all easy. You will be asked to deploy your party later, with Domon auto-deploying, so make sure you bring out Fuun Saiki. Kill all enemies as you wish, then a scene takes place, where Chibodee Crocket sorties in his Gundam Maxter, and Algo Garski in the Bolt Gundam, with sets of Death Armies and Death Birdies. Your objectives will change again. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - Raideen, God Gundam or Nel Aghama is destroyed Strategies: 1) There is absolutely no difficulty in defeating the Death Armies and Birdies, because by now you will have very powerful companions. Your EVA units should be readily available by now and you would hav deployed them already, making the battle a bit easier to win. **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Gundam Maxter has 20000 HP, but still Chibodee is very, very easy. He won't escape and will commonly use his punches. However, if he attacks using a projectile, he'll be using his Hurricane Punch, which isn't that deadly. Killing him is not even sweat-breaking. Use anyone you want to level to kill him, and not forgetting to cast the necessary spells (if you brought Vega out, don't forget that Bruger's pilot has "bless" too). You can also poke fun at Chibodee if you use your EVA units. Watch Chibodee's punches be blocked off easily by the EVAs' AT Field as if it were nothing. 2) Bolt Gundam, in the other hand has 22000 HP, and don't be overwhelmed by his sheer bulk and size... he's even more fun to kill because you can snipe him. Yep you can snipe him, so he's easy bait for Dragonars and Mobile Suits. Algo will commonly bump on you, and at rare instances, the Gravitron Hammer which has a measly range of 4, and isn't too deadly. Like Chibodee, you can use your EVA units to play with him too, and have someone with the "luck" spell kill him, or cast "bless" on a low-leveled character then have him kill Algo in a jiffy. SCENARIO 10 **TIP!** Before beginning this scenario, upgrade Grandizer's armor and HP, and even equipping it with armor-boosting items. Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - TFO is destroyed Strategies: 1) Koji deploys in the TFO and so does Barendos in his Mother Bun and 2 Minifos. Destroy the 2 saucers and an event will trigger. Later, Grandizer will deploy, and so will Great Mazinger and Mazinger-Z. Unfortunately, the 2 Mazingers are enemies. The objectives change. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Decrease Mazinger-Z's HP by 60% and convince Koji Lose condition - Grandizer or Mazinger-Z is destroyed or if Great Mazinger is damaged Strategies: 1) Yes you read right. If Great Mazinger receives any amount of damage, game over. So beware, your only viable target should be Mazinger-Z, and do take note of its HP as well. There are 4 Minifos, so take them out easily and plainly. **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Mazinger-Z has only 5300 HP, so do take care on decreasing its HP. Therefore, to take care of this, convert Grandizer into Saucer mode and attack Mazinger-Z using the Spin Saucers. Whenever the Minifos attack Grandizer, don't retaliate, simply defend. When Mazinger-Z comes in to do the Breast Fire, retaliate using the Hand Beam (Grandizer's weakest weapon). On your next turn, convince Koji. Koji will cease attacking, so you can take care of the 4 Minifos you left behind. After the event, the objectives change. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition: Decrease Great Mazinger's HP by 30% Lose condition: Grandizer or Great Mazinger is destroyed **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Barendos is in the Great Mazinger and will dish out serious damage if you're not careful. When he does his first attack, DEFEND, do not retaliate. On your next turn, make Daisuke cast "iron wall" then attack using Grandizer's strongest weapon. This will make Great Mazinger lose more than 6000 HP, and another event will trigger, making Mazinger-Z completely usable. Now that Koji is on your side, attack Great Mazinger using Mazinger-Z's weakest weapon. This will make Barendos escape, and he'll appear in his Mother Bun again, with loads of Vegan Soldiers. Your party will now be asked to deploy. 2) Do take care because Barendos' Vegan army can do support defense. Make sure you dish out as many combos, and do take advantage of Team attacks all the time to mash them even more. Other than that, do constant healing because your super robots will be damaged... at least the one who is closest. 3) Monster Core Core is gooey and jelly, but still easy. All it has is one Vegatron Beam attack. Very easy, no special strategy required. 4) Barendos, even in the Mother Bun, is also as easy as the Core Core Monster. No special strategy is required, but remember to do constant healing in case your HP runs down (due to the grunt monsters, not Barendos). Remember to cast the necessary spells before killing him. If Judo has "luck" already learned, you can use Judo to kill him. SCENARIO 11 **TIP!** Before starting the scenario, equip armor or mobility-increasing equipment on Dragonar 3 and Cerbers. Objectives: Win condition - Vega's motorcycle reaches the destined point Lose condition - One of your units is destroyed Strategies: 1) Being surrounded by Metal Armors, you are to move Vega to the sandy edgepoint in the map (the game will point you where it is). Vega's in her motorcycle, while D3 and Cerbers will come to assist. Therefore, take advantage of D3's EWAC and make sure Cerbers is beside it. Vega in the other hand, should keep on moving to that sandy point that was pointed to you earlier. 2) BUT YOU REALLY DON'T HAVE TO CHICKEN OUT. You can win the scenario by defeating all enemies. To do so, make sure Vega kills all land-roving Metal Armors by whipping them (don't use Missiles during your turn). Use D3 to decrease the HP of the Metal Armors, and make sure that Cerbers is directly beside D3 to increase its hit and dodge rate by 30% (due to D3's Strong EWAC). Don't stay in one place, move towards the flying Metal Armors (but not too close). 3) Later, Medius will appear and he will make Hugo lose some morale. An event will take place and it will drain Cerbers' HP a lot, so ni your next turn use D3 to repair him. With Hugo's morale down, you will need Vega to deplete the HP of the flying Metal Armors using missiles (because she can't whip flying mechs, duh). REMEMBER THAT CERBERS SHOULD BE BESIDE D3 FOR THE EWAC. Use Cerbers to kill the little-HP Metal Armors, and make Hugo cast "charge" to increase his morale by 10. Soon you'll get Hugo's morale to more than 120 in no time, to enable the Terminus Cannon. 4) While you are busy clobbering the Metal Armors, make sure Vega attacks Medius as well, since Medius will NEVER hit Vega. EVER. Take care to NOT decrease Medius' 16000 HP to more than half. By default, Medius will attack Cerbers, and will always attack Cerbers. If ever you use D3 to attack it, make sure Light casts "flash". **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Medius is surprisingly EASY. However, its pilot will reveal itself, and his name is Albero, and he will retreat if his HP is down to less than 6700. To kill him is quite simple. As mentioned above, make sure Vega was also attacking Medius, after all there's no need to fear since Vega will never be hit. Once Medius' HP is around 6700, get ready. Position Cerbers beside Vega, and D3 beside Cerbers. Have Vega cast "bless" on herself. Then, use VEGA to attack Medius using her missiles, supported by Cerbers' Terminus Cannon. You read right. Vega's special skill will enable the split-screen attack, making her shoot her missiles while Cerbers shoots Terminus Cannon at the same time. Believe it or not, even at 6700 HP, Cerbers can be downed by that attack alone. 2) Later, when all enemies are defeated, an event will trigger, and your party will be asked to deploy. Upon doing so, 4 Nadesico units will appear, and a High-Mobility Black Serena will appear to make short work of them. Your objectives will change. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - Nel Aghama is destroyed Strategies: 1) Make sure you deploy God Gundam and Fuun Saiki. When deployed, make God Gundam ride Fuun Saiki, have Fuun Saiki cast "accelerate", then move to reach the 4 enemies closer, faster. Those who can cast "accelerate" (such as D1) should do so as well to reach the enemies in time. 2) Don't be overwhelmed. Even though they have 12000 HP, they are still easy to beat. Well, that is IF you still meet them at 12000 HP. The pilot of the Black Serena will use its Distortion Attack and clobber them, and you will eventually have to lose a unit or two to it. If Domon is close by, make sure he casts "charge" twice to let him go Hyper Mode and activate God Finger. Have Fuun Saiki cast "luck" AND IMMEDIATELY KILL THE CLOSEST, LEAST-HP ENEMY IN SIGHT. If there is another one close by, kill it as quick as you can, even if it's D1. Remember to cast "aid" and "bless" on anyone who's gonna kill the remaining enemies, and for God's sake make it QUICK, or Black Serena will destroy them SCENARIO 12 **TIP!** Before starting the scenario, upgrade Grandizer and Dendoh's weapons by at least 3 bars. 4 bars for Grandizer if you have enough money. Objective: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - Nel Aghama is destroyed or if an enemy reaches the Saotome Lab. Strategies: 1) Getta Dragon will auto-deploy as well as Nel Aghama. You will be asked to deploy your party as well, and you are to face Hidler and his Mecha Beasts. Do take care, because they are a bit tough (not too difficult, but their armor is tough). 2) Seperate Grandizer, Dendoh, Cellfighter and a repair unit in one group, and the rest of your party in another group. The Grandizer group should go straight towards Hidler, and the rest should go towards the Saotome Lab. Have Grandizer attack and destroy the Mecha Beasts, while for Dendoh, have Ginga cast "charge", then kill enemies until Dendoh reaches a morale of 120 or more. For Grandizer, do try to get to more than 120 or 125 morale. For the record, transform Dendoh to Leo Circle Mode. **TIP!** You get 1 morale if you get hit/damaged. Therefore, Dendoh can get 1 morale and take even lesser damage if you don't let it counter-attack often. Dendoh has Fire Wall to decrease damage taken, and you will still get 1 morale for getting hit. For Grandizer, counter-attack with the Hand Beam or until you think you're in trouble and need to kill a Beast immediately. That's the purpose of the repair unit in the group: to repair Grandizer since he has no barrier unlike Dendoh. TAKE TIME BUILDING UP MORALE WHILE YOUR PARTY DEFENDS AND DESTROY ENEMIES THAT ARE COMING CLOSE TO THE SAOTOME LAB. 3) A few turns later, Hi No Breist and Mizu No Gallowin appears in the other side of the map. Ten No Zeorymer will also deploy. The objectives never change, and do not worry. HI NO BREIST AND MIZU NO GALLOWIN WILL RETREAT ONCE THEIR HP IS HALVED, AND BY DEFAULT, THEY WILL ATTACK ZEORYMER, AND WILL ALWAYS ATTACK ZEORYMER DURING THEIR TURN. **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Hidler is one crazy chicken and will retreat at 50% HP. His Mecha Beast has 19000 HP, so he will retreat if HP is at 9500. That's the reason why Grandizer an Dendoh has to be seperate in a group, because you will use them to kill him. To defeat Hidler, deplete his HP until 10000 or so left. Then cast "bless" and "aid" on Grandizer, and let him cast its most powerful attack, supported with Dendoh's Leo Circle Final Attack. 2) There is nothing to worry about when facing Hi No Breist and Mizu No Gallowin. Yes the twins are fearsome, but they aren't deadly. Their attacks will definitely be big-damaging to Zeorymer, but by then your repair units are nearby. So attack them as normal using Zeorymer, then have him repaired, rinse and repeat until your targets retreat. You can't defeat them at this point (Hi No Breist has 35000 HP while Mizu No Gallowin has 36000 HP) and your units aren't strong enough, it's theoretically impossible (unless some crazy guy in GameFAQs was able to defeat at least one of them, but I'm not insane and I have a guide to write, so I let them go anyway). **TIP!** This is a good time to level up the pilots in your repair units. Since Masato is LV22, and he gets big damage from Hi No Breist and Mizu No Gallowin, and there's no time limit whatsoever, you can let Masaki keep on getting hit, and repair repair repair until the units' pilots are LV22 or higher. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO GET DIJEH-SR LATER IN THE GAME BECAUSE IT REQUIRES CERTAIN ZZ GUNDAM PILOTS TO HAVE THEIR LEVELS AT THEIR 20S BEFORE SCEANRIO 23. SCENARIO 13 Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - Elphie's jet is destroyed Strategies: 1) A RahXephon scenario, and TERRA is under attack by Dolems. Elphie will deploy in her red jet, so kill as much as you want, but later RahXephon will deploy, then later, your party. Later, more Dolems will appear and the the Grave will deploy with them. An event will trigger, causing RahXephon and Raideen's pilots' morales to go up to 130. **TIP!** This is a good time to level up any ZZ Gundam pilot because the Dolems are easy to beat. Deploy all ZZ Gundam pilots in their Mobile Suits and get them to as high levels as possible.[/b] **BOSS ALERT!** - Grave has 23000 HP but won't escape and is surprisingly easy. Just bring Raideen closer to RahXephon and make short work of the Dolem with the God Bird Head Cutter (the strongest attack). Now that Ayato has 130 morale, RahXephon will have the "Voice" attack and is a very strong one (dealing 7000 or so damage). Don't forget to cast "bless" and "aid" on the one killing the Dolem! **TIP!** DO NOT LET RAHXEPHON DESTROY THE DOLEM. INSTEAD, RAIDEEN SHOULD DESTROY IT. WHY? BECAUSE RAHXEPHON WON'T JOIN YOU IN YOUR PARTY AFTER THIS SCENARIO SO DON'T MAKE A MISTAKE AND LET IT GO CHEESY. RAHXEPHON'S VOICE ATTACK HAS NO DYNAMIC KILL ANYWAY. SCENARIO 14 **TIP!** Before starting the scenario, upgrade God Gundam and Cerbers' weapons by 3 to 4 bars, more if able. THIS ONE IS NOT THAT IMPORTANT, BUT IF YOU WANT, YOU CAN MAKE DOMON LEARN "SUPPORT ATTACK" BECAUSE YOU COULD USE IT IN THIS SCENARIO, AND PROLLY UNTIL THE END OF THE GAME. It would be cool if Domon can support attack no? Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - One of your units is destroyed Strategies: 1) God Gundam (riding Fuun Saiki), Dendoh, Cerbers, Cellfighter and Vega's motorcycle deploys automatically, and they will be the only ones who will deploy. You are up against a pack of Death Armies and Death Birdies. MAKE SURE GOD GUNDAM AND CERBERS DESTROY THEM, AND MAKE SURE THAT BOTH DOMON AND HUGO CAST "CHARGE". 2) Later, Unicorn Drill and Leo Circle appear in a certain edge of the map. You will be pointed a certain spot near them. The objectives will change. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Bring Dendoh to that certain spot Lose condition - One of your units is destroyed Strategies: 1) BUT YOU REALLY DON'T HAVE TO BRING DENDOH THERE. Just simply destroy all enemies, and an event will trigger, leaving only God Gundam, Cellfighter and Cerbers behind to control. Ouga will appear and you are forced to fight him, with only God Gundam, Cerbers and Cellfighter, and no repair units. **TIP!** Instead of Dendoh reaching that spot, make sure it's CERBERS instead. After the event, Ouga and Domon will be near the spot where you are to bring Dendoh, and since there are no repair units, God Gundam will have a hard time. If Cerbers were near there early, it would make the fight a whole lot easier. **BOSS ALERT!** - Ouga isn't easy, but not too difficult either. He's chicken and will retreat at 50% HP (that's 8500 HP). Therefore, you need Domon to use Sekiha Tenkyouken on him to dish very big damage. Remember to deplete HP first, and wait until you get Cerbers to be beside God Gundam before you kill him. To kill Ouga, just use Sekiha Tenkyouken supported by Cerbers' Terminus Cannon. Just make sure Fuun Saiki casts "luck" before you kill Ouga ok? IF YOU WANT MORE MONEY, THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE FOLLOWED MY ADVICE EARLIER TO GIVE DOMON "SUPPORT ATTACK". TO DO SO, REVERSE. HAVE AQUA CAST "LUCK" AND LET HUGO ATTACK OUGA USING TERMINUS CANNON SUPPORTED BY GOD GUNDAM'S SEKIHA TENKYOUKEN. This will yield you more money because of Hugo's "great luck" skill. **IMPORTANT NOTE!!** AFTER THE SCENARIO, YOU WILL BE PRESENTED WITH TWO OPTIONS. PICK THE SECOND OPTION (THIS GUIDE CONTINUES FROM THAT CHOICE). SCENARIO 16 Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - One of your units is destroyed Strategies: 1) Bringing out a limited party of real robots, you are to destroy all those Dendoh enemies. However, seeing that structure of a tower nearby, I would suggest that you bring your party close to it, but not to close directly under the tower. No need to fear the enemies as they are very easy. Too easy in fact. Your mothership is of course, Nadesico B, and Saburouta assists you in his S-Aestevalis. It would be cool if the one who kills the most enemies would be God Gundam and ZZ Gundam. 2) Later after you destroy all enemies, an event will trigger, causing Devil Satan 6, Diondora and Ouga to come out, and of course, Rom Stoll deploys in Genryu then becomes Baikanfu. Dendoh also appears but is in the middle of a lot of newly deployed enemies. That's the reason why you were instructed to bring your party a bit closer to the tower, so Dendoh can have backup right away. The objectives change. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition: All units should board Nadesico B before Baikanfu within 3 turns Lose condition: One of your units is destroyed, or not boarded Nadesico B within the time limit Strategies: 1) Again, another reason why your party was instructed to be close to the tower. Because you need to board Nadesico B within 3 turns, and Baikanfu can't board. There are also some Gandorans (Machine Robo grunt enemies) to kill, so if your party is nearby, they can make short work of them in no time at all, freeing Dendoh of further hardship. **TIP!** If you followed the above strategy and Nadesico B is close by, please make use of its Gravity Blast, since it's a very powerful attack against these bosses and may prove very useful in depleting their HP. If Nadesico B is far away, then use Gravity Blast to snipe both Ouga and Devil Satan 6. *BOSS ALERT!** 1) Diondora has 19000 HP, and will retreat if her HP is less than 6000. She's a sniper, and tougher than Devil Satan 6 so beware. Use Rom to God Hand Smash her to a pulp, then finish her off with Dendoh, supported by any of your strongest ZZ Gundam allies with the strongest attack (my logical guess would be Rue in her Zeta, executing the Hi-Mega Launcher). You can use Dendoh's Unicorn Drill Final Attack as the killing blow, although that will mean you need to use the Hyper Dendoh Dench to refuel its EN because you will need Dendoh to kill the other 2 bosses. 2) Devil Satan 6 and Ouga have 17000 HP and will both reatreat if heir HPs are less than 5500. For Ouga, killing him is easy because when Rom deploys in Genryu and turns into Baikanfu, he's directly beside Ouga and you can attack using God Hand Smash, and not only that, Rom has "hot blood" as well. Therefore, attack using God Hand Smash, then when Ouga's HP is reduced to 6000, you can kill him with support attacks. I would suggest that you level up your ZZ Gundam team and reach their levels to near 20s for some of them, as early as possible. Judo can be a good candidate for this, so have Judo cast "luck", use Hyper Beam Sabre and slash Ouga, then supported by Dendoh with the Leo Circle Final Attack (or something weaker if the Leo Circle FA is overkill). 3) Devil Satan 6 is a bit farther away, but he's a lot easier than Ouga, and you can kill him using Z Gundam and supported with Dendoh again (of course, that would mean that Cellfighter should use its Hyper Dendoh Dench to regenerate Dendoh's EN if ever you used the Leo Circle FA to kill Ouga). Make sure you cast the necessary spells again, just to make sure. It would be a great help if you gave Domon the support attack skill, it would help ZZ Gundam a lot if God Gundam can support attack using the Sekiha Tenkyouken. 4) If your ZZ Gundam allies are too much for the bosses, then cast "bless" on Domon and have him do the killing blow to any of the bosses instead. Although it's better if you attempt to make your ZZ allies kill, if you want to feel a bit more secure in getting the Dijeh SR later. **TIP!** You don't have to retreat and follow the mission objective (since it's waaay too much money to lose, let alone experience). In fact, you can win the scenario by just destroying all enemies within 3 turns, instead of making all allies except Baikanfu board Nadesico B within 3 turns. It's not as difficult as you think. SCENARIO 16 Objectives: Win condition - Nu Gundam reaches the designated point within 4 turns Lose condition - Nu Gundam is destroyed Strategies: 1) Amuro makes his game debut and already he's being overpowered by Malliot and his Giganos subordinates. The computer will point to you a certain spot on top of what looks like a small colony. Get Nu Gundam there within turns to win. Malliot is fast in his Falken, and will attack Amuro and always Amuro, no matter what. Take care and make sure you make Amuro cast "flash" because Falken's attacks are deadly, and you will most likely miss whenever you attack Malliot so don't even think, just run. Later when you get to the designated point, the objectives change. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - Nu Gundam is destroyed Strategies: 1) Your party will deploy, and surprising you is Gundam Rose and Gundam Maxter, who will join the fight. Unfortunately, 4 enemies from Nadesico also appear. They are insanely difficult to kill using your grunt party members at the moment, but they are perfect for leveling up your ZZ team if you want to obtain Dijeh SR later. 2) Since Gundam Rose and Maxter are a bit far away, make them come to your party's direction, and make it quick. Chibodee has "accelerate", and that will make Gundam Maxter move even farther to reach your party on time. As for your party, move away from Malliot and head towards Gundam Maxter and Gundam Rose's direction so you can meet halfway, taking care not to get too near Malliot (but he will eventually catch up with Amuro anyway). 3) Kill the Nadesico enemies first because they are hard to beat. Use God Gundam, Cerbers and Dendoh to deal massive damage, and when their HP is 1900 or so, let your ZZ team kill them using either bazookas, swords or Funnels, but make sure they are supported with more attacks just in case. DO NOT USE BEAM ATTACKS BECAUSE THE ENEMIES' DISTORTION FIELDS WILL RENDER THEM USELESS. Oh yeah, the Nadesico enemies will attack only Nadesico, so make sure Megarider is there, ready to repair Nadesico every turn. When counter-attacking using Nadesico, use missiles, not the Gravity Blast. **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Wellner, Carl and Durn are back, and they are more annoying than ever. Since Carl has EWAC, it would be logical to kill him first (Carl is the blond guy of the three). Then head towards Wellner, because he has 2 cannons, and then last, Durn, who is the easiest. They aren't too hard to beat, after all you have Nadesico and Saburouta in his S Aestevalis with you. Remember not to get killed, because despite that they are easy, they still deliver very painful attacks. 2) Malliot will retreat once his HP drops below 7100 HP, so make sure you halve his life using Dendoh and Cerbers. To finish him off, simply use Domon to make God Gundam execute Sekiha Tenkyouken supported by either Dendoh's Leo Circle Final Attack or Cerbers' Terminus Cannon. Don't forget to cast "aid" on Domon, and make sure Fuun Saiki casts "luck".. SCENARIO 17 Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - Ryoko's Aestivalis is destroyed Strategies: 1) Starting off the scenario is a one-on-one match of Ryoko's Aestevalis VS the Black Serena. You can't win, and you will never win. Therefore it's best if you retreat and move closer to Nadesico B. Cast "resist" if you have to so you can receive only 10 damage. Oh, another thing, Nadesico B can't move. Later an event will trigger, causing the Black Serena to retreat and your party to deploy, along with Battas to fight. Objective changes again. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Bring all allies to that purple square on the base Lose condition - Ryoko or Saburouta's Aestevalis is destroyed Strategies: 1) All the Battas are too easy, so use this as an opportunity to level up your ZZ team, again to get their level on their 20s already. Make sure that God Gundam kills one or two, and get the morale Domon needs. Once all enemies are beaten, bring all your allies (except the Nadesico B, which can't move of course) to that purple square in the base. Doing so makes them enter the base. When doing so, more Nadesico enemies arrive, it's those 12000 HP lackeys again. 2) Take a look inside the base closely. You will see a large vent with an orange-like square in the center. To win the scenario, you need to bring at least one ally to step on that orange square. There is no time limit, but killing the 12000 HP Martian Successors are a pain in the ass. If you want to level up your ZZ team by killing them, it's your call but be prepared to get lots of headaches, because their attacks are very strong and they have Distortion Fields to protect them. Oh yeah, they can snipe with their missiles too. Beware of your low-HP Mobile Suits, they will be in deep trouble. VERY DEEP TROUBLE. 3) Use God Gundam and Gundam Rose to your advantage. Make them use their signature attacks on them to decrease the HPs of the Martian Successors, and well, just let the rest of the party kick their asses. It's not as simple as you think, but you'll push through with hard work and perseverance. Remember not to use Beam Rifles at them. Quebely mk IIs are very useful with their Funnels in terms of attack, but watch out for their defense. Don't rely on the "concentrate" spell. Instead, rely on "resist" and "iron wall" because you may never know if you would get hit or not, and most of the time, you do, and will die. 4) Once you bring an ally on that orange spot on the center of the vent, an event will trigger, finishing the scenario. SCENARIO 18 Objectives: Win condition - Galba FXII designated point Lose condition - One of your units is destroyed Strategies: 1) Daimos makes its debut, and already you need help. Daimos is surrounded with Metal Armors, and worse yet, they are led by Albero in the Medius. Bring Galba FXII on that reddish square that the game pointed you at. Doing so will allow you to deploy your party. God Gundam auto deploys riding Fuun Saiki, and both Domon and Kazuya will get 150 morale. Cerbers will move closer to Medius, so when you gain control move further away. The objectives will change yet again. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - Nadesico B is destroyed Strategies: 1) The Metal Armors are no challenge at all, so you can easily take them out without breaking a sweat. **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Another Medius to kill, and this time he's very easy. Albero won't escape even with HP down to 1. Just do with him what you will, and it's best if you let Amuro kill him by executing Fin Funnel. Remember to cast the necessary spells, especially "aid" on Amuro, so that it will help make you receive Dijeh-SR later. SCENARIO 19 **IMPORTANT NOTE!!** Before you start the scenario, you will be prompted to name your entire group. The default is "Magnate Ten". Well I dunno why the hell so, but that's the default. Change it at will if you want, or leave it as is. Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - One of your units is destroyed Strategies: 1) As you start, it's Venus-A alone against a Bong Metal Beast. It's a very easy fight, just keep on barraging the beast with missiles until it dies. Oh yeah, make sure Venus-A lands on the ground, and move her to the edge of the bridge to gain the terrain bonus for being on the bridge of the base. Once Venus-A's HP falls down to critical, Great Mazinger will be deployed. Kill the Bong once and for all. 2) Unfortunately for you, once you kill the Bong, it revives itself, then a Bigdron attacks Great Mazinger, and finally, Barendos appears in his Mother Bun saucer, leading even more hordes of Enbanjuu. Another bad thing for you, is that Bigdron has a certain barrier on, so that means any attack you deal to it will be 0. So when it attacks Great Mazginer for the 1st time, give it a weak attack or a Knee Impulse Kick. Getta Dragon together with Getta Q will appear to give you support, so bring them in and have them kill the newly-revived Bong. Later your party will deploy to assist you. **TIP!** Deploy Grandizer and Double Spacer (with Maria as its pilot). It will make things a whole lot easier. Remember your ZZ team. Now that you have Nu Gundam and Hyaku Shiki Kai, consider putting your lowest leveled characters in those mechs and deploy them. You could use the chance to level them up now to get Dijeh-SR later. 3) Hi No Breist and Mizu No Gallowin again appear, and so will EVA-01 and 02. Asuka and Shinji will perform their Unison Kick (the one they did against Israfel in "Both of You, Dance Like You Want To Win" episode in the anime). However, instead of the Angel Israfel, they do it on the twin sisters, targetting Shi-Aen who pilots Hi No Breist. Your party will deploy in the next turn, so do with them what you will, and again do take note of some of your ZZ team characters. This is a good time to level some of them. The objectives change. SCENARIO 20 Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - One of your units is destroyed Strategies: 1) Mazinger-Z, Diana-A, Boss Borot and Double Spacer auto-deploy to ward off the invading Gandoran forces of Diondora and Devil Satan 6. The fight is easy so take out then Gandorans in short notice. A few turns later some Hyaku Oni enemies appear to make the fight turn tables. Keep on killing the Gandorans and get Boss Borot out of the way. 2) If you have some ZZ pilots whose levels are less than 25, it's suggested that you deploy them now and take on the Gandorans (since they are easier than they Hyaku Onis). That is, if you want Dijeh SR later. **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Diondora and Devil Satan 6 are very, very easy, and they won't retreat if they reach a certain amount of HP either. Take advantage of this to level up your Super Robots. FOR THE RECORD, DO NOT KILL DIONDORA FIRST, BECAUSE ALL REMAINING LIVING ENEMIES WILL RETREAT WITH HER ONCE YOU DO. Other than that, just take your time and finish them off as you deem necessary. SCENARIO 21 Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - Zeorymer is destroyed Strategies: 1) You will begin the scenario with Ten No Zeorymer VS Tsuki No Rose C'est La Vie (with Ten No Zeorymer being piloted by Masaki, Masato's other personality). After you are attacked, Masaki will lose to the Masato personality, and as Masato takes over, his morale drops by 20. You can't win the fight with Zeorymer alone (especially now with so low morale), so put Zeorymer on top of a building (for extra defense) and keep on defending for a few turns until you are prompted to deploy Magnate Ten. Once they do arrive, Hidler and his Hyaku Oni will appear from the other side of the map to annoy the hell out of you. 2) Since the Hyaku Oni are a bit challenging due to their tough armor, it's suggested that you keep your ground, and stay on the city. Wait for them to reach the city, then clobber them since you have more space (unless you want to punish yourself by battling them while they are in the bridge, or you're underwater while the rest of the Onis are flying. **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Tsuki No Rose C'est La Vie has 43000 HP, but is very easy since it won't use the J Kaizer when attacking or retaliating. Instead, it will keep on using Luna Flash and Luna Beam. By they way, it will retreat if its HP goes lower than 13000, so that means it's combo time. By now, some (if not most) of your super robot pilots have learned "hot blood" already. If so, you can use any super robot pilot with the "hot blood" command and support with Dendoh's Leo Circle Final Attack to kill Tsuki No Rose C'est La Vie. Another thing to consider: Tsuki No Rose C'est La Vie will attack Zeorymer if within range. If not, he will attack a member of the Magnate Ten. **TIP!** This is a good time to level up your repair units. Since Zeorymer will be constantly attacked by Tsuki No Rose C'est La Vie, and the damage will be great, you can repair and repair and repair and repair him as much as you like until you can't stand repairing anymore. 2) HIDLER WON'T RETREAT BUT DO NOT KILL HIM FIRST BECAUSE ALL REMAINING ENEMIES LEFT ALIVE WILL RETREAT. So, just make sure you kill all Hyaku Oni before killing him and that's it. He's too easy, you don't need special strategies to kick his ass. SCENARIO 22 **TIP!** Upgrade your Dragonar units and equip armor and mobility-boosting items on them before you start the scenario. Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - One of your units is destroyed Strategies: 1) A difficult scenario to play. You start off with your 3 Dragonars and Cerbers. However, Medius appears, and you are shown/pointed a square panel in the other side of the map. At this point it will be very difficult if you fought all Giganos enemies with just 4 units, so head towards that square panel's direction. In a few turns, more Giganos enemies led by Jin and Kanan will deploy. Thankfully, Jin and Kanan won't attack, but their grunts will, so destroy them and keep an eye on your Dragonars' HP, especially D2 (since it's the poorest in dodging). Medius will attack only Cerbers, so make sure that Cerbers is beside D3 for support defense in case Hugo fails to dodge Albero's attacks. 2) To make matters worse, Min, Gol and Gun Jiem appear with their own sets of grunts, and to make matters worse, Min decides to take the initiative and attack you head on with her soldiers. Depending on the stats of your Dragonar units, you may or may not retaliate when Min attacks, but its' best if you defend yourself. During the enemy's turn, if Min sees enough targets within range, she will use a MAP weapon instead of a normal attack. Flee as far as you can towards that square panel in the map, and later Magnate Ten will deploy to assist. **BOSS ALERT!** 1) First off, Medius. DO NOT KILL MEDIUS FIRST BECAUSE ONCE YOU DO, CERBERS WILL LEAVE THE MAP. Medius will retreat if HP is half (or a little more lower, but I'm making an allowance). To defeat Medius you will have to do a 9000-damage combo. By now Hugo should have learned "hot blood" already. So cast it, and attack using the Terminus Cannon supported by someone else. Terminus Cannon should make roughly around 7000 or so damage so you just need 2000 damage more to kill him, which is not hard to do. Remember to make sure Medius is the last one you kill in the scenario. 2) Jin, Kanan, Min, Gol and Gun Jiem will not retreat. However, amongst those guys, you must kill Min first because she uses MAP weapons. Killing her is no hard task, and if Ken is LV30 and has learned "hot blood", you can attack her using their new synchro-attack, the D-Formation Attack S (which is using their Kouji Bazookas altogether). If you upgraded them as suggested earlier, a hot-blooded attack would deal around 14000-15000 damage. 3) Gun Jiem is the next to beat up after Min, because he has the most HP and the most powerful sword attack. He's not difficult to beat, so just clobber him usnig your super robots. However, do not attack him using your Dragonars until you are guaranteed that their defense is taken care of, because you wouldn't want to belittl this guy, his slash can mean instant death of any of your Dragonars, and that will mean game over if you do. 4) Jin, Kanan and Gol are all easy and require no special strategy to kill. Just play around with them and have fun (and make sure that if ever you are sniped by Kanan, DEFEND, don't dodge). Use your super robots to kill them and make sure they level up because it would be best if your super robot pilots can learn "hot blood" as soon as possible. SCENARIO 23 Objectives: Win condition - Bring EVA-00 and 02 beside Vivace or destroy all enemies Lose condition - EVA-00, EVA-02, Nel Aghama or Nadesico B is destroyed Strategies: 1) EVA-00 and EVA-02 will auto-deploy in the scenario. Deploy your party and destroy all Dolems, but don't even bother attacking Vivace, because all damage you'll deal to her will be 0. 2) There are no bosses to fight in this scenario, so consider this a breather after the hard battle in the previous scenario. Since there are Grave and Allegretos, take the opportunity to level your low-leveled super robots, are Ruri and Bright (especially Ruri since she will learn "bless" when she reaches enough levels, perhaps 26). **TIP!** You really don't need to bring EVA-00 and EVA092 to Vivace and miss all the fun. Just destroy all enemies and the event will take place, even if you don't touch your EVA units and bring them to Vivace. SCENARIO 24 **TIP!** Before starting the scenario, equip a Jammer and some good armor on Dendoh, and upgrade Daimos and Dendoh's stats and weapons. Objectives: Win condition - Halve Daimos' HP Lose condition - Dendoh is destroyed Strategies: 1) When you start the scenario, you will gain control of Dendoh and are going against Daimos, who will have boss-stats. Your objective is to drain Daimos' HP by half, and it's not really difficult despite that Dendoh can't equip any Data Weapons (you have to do it simply, with fists). While you are fighting, move Dendoh as fast and as far as you can to the city terrain. Details on why will come later. Once you are successful in accomplishing your mission, some Nadesico enemies pop out. If you took my tip and installed a Jammer on Dendoh, then you have nothing to worry about if the enemies fire missiles at you. The objectives will change. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - Nadesico B or Nel Aghama is destroyed Strategies: 1) Later, Kamiyu will deploy. Now, depending on whether you have been following my advice earlier or not, Kamiyu will deploy in the Dijeh SE-R if the ZZ Gundam pilots plus Amuro and Quatro have a combined level total of 250 or higher. If not, Kamiyu will deploy in the Re-GZ. Anyway, now that Kamiyu's here, bring him in and attack. In this point, move Daimos and Dendoh towars the city terrain. Do not let Daimos and Dendoh's pilots cast any spells. Conserve them, because you will need them later. 2) Later, Hokushin and his band of Boson-Jumping Martian Successors in Shishikis appear in the map, and Akito will also deploy to fight them. You can't control him and his Black Serena, so you'll have to make use of what you have at the moment. Just bring your party to the city terrain closer. Later Magnate Ten will deploy, so bring out your best super robots, you will need them to defeat Hokushin and his Shishiki army. 3) Akito, being an uncontrollable character at the moment, will constantly attack Hokushin, and watch Akito's ass being kicked by Hokushin because his stats are still low and Hokushin has the upper hand (Akito's hit rate is 50-something percent, and Hokushin's is 70-something percent). However, do take this into consideration that you have to make sure Hokushin's HP doesn't go lower than half... the reason is stated below. **BOSS ALERT!** 1) REMEMBER THAT HOKUSHIN WILL RETREAT IF HIS YATENKOU'S HP IS HALVED. He is very annoying, let alone very difficult to hit due to his high dodge rate (and hit rate). You will definitely need to cast many "concentrate" and "lock on" spells if you want to be sure your attacks connect and hit him. The same thing applies to his grunt Shishikis, whom are very difficult to stand without any spells for support. Also, to add more menace to his presence, he has 26000 HP, and has Distortion Field. If you followed my advice earlier and moved Daimos and Dendoh to the city terrain early, then reaching Hokushin before Akito pummels his HP down is easy. To kill him you will need to use Daimos's Reppu Sekken Tsuki Kai supported by Dendoh's Leo Circle Final Attack because they have the highest morale at the moment. Don't forget to make them cast the necessary spells! SCENARIO 25 Objectives: Win condition: Destroy all enemies Lose condition: One of your allies is destroyed **TIP!** Before you start the scenario, upgrade Dendoh's stats and equip it with tough armor. It's also best if you upgrade the Shuffle Union a bit as well. Strategies: 1) The Shuffle Union, along with Rising and Nobel Gundam, the Dendoh Team and the Nadesico Team will auto-deploy in this scenario. You are to face Ouga and his army. Unfortunately for you, you will have no repair units so do take care in getting hit while playing this scenario. Since the Dendoh enemies that will face you are easy, take this opportunity to level up the Shuffle Union if their levels are at the 20's. Also, make sure you bring Dendoh as far as you can, to the near center of the map. Forget using Dendoh to attack enemies at the time being. This is quite important. 2) An event will trigger, bringing out the Gattling Boar, Dragon Flare and Bull Horn Data Weapons. The event continues as Ouga successfully captures Bull Horn. Your objectives will now change. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition: Bring Dendoh beside Dragon Flare and Gattling Boar Lose condition: Ouga reaches Dragon Flare or Gattling Boar, or either Dendoh, Kenryuu/Baikanfu or Nadesico B is destroyed Strategies: 1) Here's the thing. If you followed my advice and you moved Dendoh to the near center of the map, you have easier access to Gattling Boar or Dragon Flare, and thus, preventing Ouga from capturing Gattling Boar (who is obviously closer to Ouga). After getting Gattling Boar by putting Dendoh beside it, go to Dragon Flare (who is near your allies at this point). DO NOT RETALIATE WHENEVER OUGA ATTACKS, BECAUSE ONCE YOU GET ALL 2 DATA WEAPONS, OUGA WILL REGENERATE ITS HP AS IT INSTALLS THE BULL HORN DATA WEAPON. Once this event triggers, the objectives will change once again. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition: Destroy all enemies Lose condition: Dendoh, Baikanfu or Nadesico B is destroyed 1) The 4 Knights that accompany Ouga, namely Bug, Virus, Error and Lock are still easy. Their HP is only a mere difference of 1000 each (from Bug to Lock, in that order: 14000, 15000, 16000 and 17000 HP). Virus and Error are snipers (having 6 to 7 range of attacks) while Bug and Lock are point blanks (strong close range attacks). Knowing this, you're better off to kill the snipers first. This is easy to accomplish though, since you have Vega in her motorcycle, just abuse her cool dodging skills and play along with them, shooting missiles and stuff until you kill each Knight with a character you wanna level up. 2) Later as you progress in the scenario, Ashura appears with his nasty bunch of Gandorans, and thus appear the hero of Cronos... Rom Stoll. He appears in the Kenryuu and starts off with 125 morale. Kill one of the Gandorans, and he reaches 130 morale. In your next turn you can make Kenryuu transform into Baikanfu, and Ashura, with his forces, are nothing left but rotten eggs. **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Ashura, despite having 32000 HP, is easy to beat and you can even take him down using Baikanfu alone. In fact he's too easy, you don't need special strategies for this boss. Just do your thing and keep on smacking him with God Hand Smash until his HP is brittle and then have someone else kill him. Now's a good time to use the Double God Finger (bring together God Gundam and Nobel Gundam and finish him painfully). 2) Ouga will load its Bull Horn Data Weapon, so be prepared to take him down... EASILY. Just bring a tough character along to attack him and make sure he executes the Bull Horn Final Attack. This in turn will drain his EN until he has no more EN left to spare. Now that he's "useless", zero in the Shuffle Union and kick his ass with a character you wish to level up (Dendoh, perhaps). SCENARIO 26 Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - Nel Aghama is destroyed 1) Chi No Dinodilus and Yama No Burstone will deploy with Martian Successors, invading Tokyo-3. Your objective is to defeat all enemies using your small army of Mobile Suits, EVAs, Raideen and RahXephon. The scenario is not considerably hard, but it will be a bit annoying if your patience is short because Shishikis are there, and their Distortion Fields are a pain in the ass. 2) The ones that should kill often here are obviously, Raideen and RahXephon. Get Ayato's morale up to 130 as soon as possible, and Raideen should get his up to around 120, then you can let Akira cast "charge" to increase morale by 10. Do take note that this scenario is not a money-making scenario so you are forced to kill some, if not most of the enemies using your Mobile Suits, because more Gundam pilots have "luck", namely, Judo and Bicha. Put Kamiyu in the Zeta now and attack. Once you desecrated the enemies, you are to face Chi No Dinodilus and Yama No Burstone. CONSERVE AKIRA'S SP!!! 3) Chi No Dinodilus will retreat after a few turns, so there's no point in attacking it. Simply defend whenever it attacks you. Take note that it has very long attacking ranges. **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Yama No Burstone is easy, but annoying because it has a very long range whenever using its missiles (which is ALL THE TIME). It has a whopping 49000 HP and will retreat if it has only less than 15000 HP left. Therefore, to kill it, you will need RahXephon and Raideen. If you listened to my advice earlier, RahXephon would have had the "Voice" attack now, and Raideen has its God Voice enabled. Attack Yama No Burstone using RahXephon, executing the Voice attack, then support with Raideen's God Voice (and it's one very noisy combination). If Raideen's morale isn't high enough, and if you conserved Akira's HP, then let Akira spend all his SP on "charge" until his morale skyrockets. Don't worry much on Ayato and RahXephon. Ayato should just cast "hot blood" and that's all there is to it. SCENARIO 27 **TIP!** Before starting the scenario, upgrade your Dragonar units as well as Mazinger units, but make sure D2 and D3 get better equipment than D1. Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - One of your allies is destroyed Strategies: 1) The scenario is pretty easy, after all you have a lot of repair units at your disposal (Venus-A, Diana-A and TFO). Start off by killing Metal Armors using your Mazinger units because you'll need their morale to be as high as possible, and as quick as possible (forget raising the morale of Ken in his D1). 2) As you progress in the scenario, Gun Jiem sorties in his unit, and an event will take place, disabling D1. You can't control Ken, and you can't use synchro-attacks. D1's HP will be drained to 10 too. Repair D1 immediately to prevent it from being attacked by any more Metal Armors. The bosses are vast approaching (especially Gun Jiem). 3) Later again, Jet, Drill, Reina and Triple Jim will appear to support you. Take note that both Drill and Reina are useless combat-wise because all the enemies here are flying. Therefore, you may want to move them aside in the backlines. For one thing, Reina is a repairing type, so you can use her to repair any unit of yours that are damaged. As for Drill, well, use him as support because he still has his Blazer Cannon, but of course his ace are his fists and he can't use it, so what the hell. **BOSS ALERT!** 1) The 1st boss you'll face is Gol. Although he has a ton of HP, he's poor in dodging, and well, he's easy. You can beat the crap out of him without even breaking a sweat. 2) The next will be the pink-haired Min. Again, she's annoying as she was in her first appearance. You may want to kick her ass REALLY FAST if you want to prevent her from using her MAP weapon, because it might hit Ken who's stunned. You have Grandizer anyway, and Duke has the Leadership Attack, so use it with support by Koji in his Mazinger-Z and kill her quick. 3) After Min will be the blue haired Jin. He's a sniper, so you may want to experiment and see who he is targetting often. Once you have located that poor character of yours, move him/her away, and it will draw Jin closer. When he gets in, KILL HIM. He's weak anyway (gattling cannons deal only 10 damage to my Mazinger units). 4) Second to the last will be Ganan. He's also a sniper, and like Jin, he's also weak, whose ass is so easy to kick. You don't need to worry about this guy. Just move in your units and smack him (you can even play around with him using D2 and D3). 5) Finally, the big boss, Gun Jiem. His strongest attack is again, the Seiryu Tou (Blue Dragon Blade), and he's the one you need to watch out. Don't be carried away, just because he has 26000 HP doesn't mean he's gonna be a non-challenge. Do remember that even your Mazinger units can take around half or more than a quarter of their total HP after being cleaved by this guy. Fortunately for you, since you have Grandizer on your side, you can use Duke's Leadership Attack and execute Grandizer's strongest attack with support from another strong character (I guess Mazinger-Z would be it, unless Tetsuya's got support attack and you have the Great Booster unused). Gun Jiem won't retreat, and that's the good thing. You can even use Jet to play around with him using his Tenku Shin Ken. Remember to cast all the necessary spells before killing any boss, especially this one! SCENARIO 28 **TIP!** Before starting the scenario, make sure Ryouma (Getter Dragon pilot) learn the skill "support attack". Upgrade Getta Dragon and God Gundam's WEAPONS. Also, equip some good armor on Cerbers. Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - Zeorymer is destroyed Strategies: 1) It's a one on one battle, Zeorymer VS Tsuki No Rose C'est La Vie. You obviously can't win against Tsuki No Rose C'est La Vie alone. So constantly attack him. Remember, don't let Masaki/Masato cast any spells, so conserve them. Once Zeorymer's HP is down to a certain point, your relatively small party will deploy. To make matters worse, more Martian Successors, 4 Shishikis, appear. They are a pain in the ass like before, so forget attacking head on. Instead, MOVE YOUR PARTY TOWARDS THE OPPOSITE EDGE OF THE MAP (the one at the right side). That includes Zeorymer. 2) Medius also appears, and this time Albero isn't joking around. Cerbers will be seperating from your group and go against Medius alone, so do as I say earlier, move your party towards Cerbers, because Hugo's gonna get some major ass kicking. Have Aqua cast "hirameki" AT ONCE. 3) Ignore Tsuki No C'est La Vie for now. Don't worry about it, Ritsu will always attack Zeorymer, and only Zeorymer. Therefore, use Zeorymer as bait and move towards Cerbers' direction. Later, your G Gundam and Dendoh party (the one a few scenarios ago) will deploy with Nadesico B. That's the reason why you're instructed to move your party to Cerbers' direction... so you can meet halfway with your newly arrived party. Unless you want to punish yourself by facing the 4 Shihikis using Getta Dragon and Daimos alone, be my guest. The objectives will change. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - Zeorymer or Cerbers is destroyed **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Medius will retreat when its HP is drained in half. This is gonna be annoying, because all of a sudden Medius has an eye-popping 49000 HP, which is even more than Tsuki No Rose C'est La Vie's! So this is where you come in. Move Cerbers towards your party, and then let your party attack Medius. Again, keep an eye on Cerbers' HP, because Medius will attack Cerbers, and only Cerbers. Finally, when Medius' HP reaches down to 25000, bring in Getta Dragon (whose morale should be 150 at this point). If Ryouma has the skill "support attack", then so much the better. Go give Domon a morale boost by casting spells like crazy. Domon should cast "charge", but leave enough SP to cast "hot blood". Don't cast "hot blood" yet. I hope that Fuun Saiki has learned "encourage" already. If so, cast it on Alenby, and Alenby should cast "charge" until she has 130 morale. Now that Domon has prolly more than 130 morale, position Domon beside Getta Dragon, and Getta Q beside Getta Dragon. End your turn. Medius attacks Cerbers, and Cerbers defends. On your next turn, have Domon cast "hot blood", and Aqua cast "inspire" on him and Ryouma. Cast "bless" and "aid" on Domon, then execute the DOUBLE GOD FINGER, supported by Getta Dragon's DOUBLE GETTA BEAM. This attack hopefully will be strong enough to destroy Medius. If not, then you will have a hard time killing him. But it's irrelevant, since Medius won't drop any items, and you will gain only 5100 credits for destroying it. So it's all up to you whether you want to attempt to kill him or not. Regardless of whether you kill him or not, an event will take place and Cerbers will go kaboom. 2) Tsuki No Rose C'est La Vie is still being a weirdo and will attack Zeorymer constantly. So use your party to attack it until its HP drops a certain level to trigger an event. Watch it until the scenario ends. I wont' spoil it for you. SCENARIO 29 Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - Dendoh or Nadesico B is destroyed Strategies: 1) You start the scenario with the Magnate Ten, against the 3 last Hau Dragons: Chi No Dinodilus, Yama No Burstone and Rai No Ohmzack. You can't reach them since they are very far away. Dendoh will automatically equip itself with the Gattling Boar Data Weapon. So bring your party upfront to the offensive. Later, a two-headed Ragou appears in the map, causing Unicorn Drill, Leo Circle and Dragon Flare to come out. You can't control them either. The objectives change. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - Dendoh, Unicorn Drill, Leo Circle, Dragon Flare or Nadesico B is destroyed Strategies: 1) Ragou is quick, agile, and to make things worse... CAN MOVE TWICE. It will attack any Data Weapon that is closest to it, so keep an eye on them. Later, more Dendoh enemies will appear to support Ragou, and they will also attack any Data Weapon that is closest in their attack range. So kill the nuisances first, and then attack Ragou with all your might. 2) Masaki/Masato appears in a VERY SOUPED UP ZEORYMER, with a whopping 52000 HP (because I upgraded Zeorymer earlier). You can't control him (awww) and he deploys near the 2 Hau Dragons. So that means, while you are busy killing Dendoh enemies, Zeorymer is busy fighting the 3 Hau Dragons. Every turn you make, you can watch those 4 guys duke it out on each other like hell. **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Ragou is TOUGH. Well not really, but it's tough because it defends whenever it's your attack phase. Yep, it doesn't retaliate or counter-attack, but whenever it's gonna attack, it will usually attack Dendoh if Dendoh is in range. Take the opportunity. Retaliate with any of the Gattling Boar's weapons whenever Ragou attacks you. Your Data Weapons will help you out too and they will attack Ragou by default (and since Ragou won't retaliate during your turn, they're safe for the time being). You can't kill Ragou, because once it reaches around less than 20000 HP, an event will trigger, causing Ragou to attack both Unicorn Drill and Leo Circle, infecting them with a Virus. After that's done, Ragou will retreat. It's up to Zeorymer VS the 3 Hau Dragons now, so move in for the kill. 2) Unfortunately for you, you can move in, but not for the kill. Once Zeorymer deals a sufficient amount of damage to Chi No Dinodilus, it will trigger an event, and it will eliminate all 3 Hau Dragons. Yeah, you can't barely touch one of them, unless you REALLY SPEED UP and go attack them, but I doubt you can finish them off anyway, given the time limit (because you have to make sure that none of your Data Weapons get killed by Ragou earlier). Oh well. **IMPORTANT NOTE!!** AFTER THE SCENARIO AND ALL THE EVENTS THAT FOLLOW, YOU WILL BE GIVEN TWO CHOICES. PICK THE FIRST OPTION TO GO TO SPACE BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THIS GUIDE WILL FOLLOW. SCENARIO 30 Objectives: Win condition - Nadesico B reaches the designated point within 7 turns Lose condition - Nadesico B is destroyed or fails to reach the designated point within 7 turns Strategies: 1) This scenario is easy, despite that you only have 1 super robot to depend on. Nadesico B, Nu Gundam, FA Hyaku Shiki Kai and Dendoh all auto-deploy in this scenario. You are set to face Malliot and his 3 lackeys. See the orange square panel in the edge of the map, surrounded by numerous yellow Metal Armors? You must let Nadesico B reach that point within 7 turns or game over. 2) As you see those yellow Metal Armors blocking the point of entry, now is a good time to practice the Double Attack system. To execute a Double Attack, first look for a weapon in a unit's inventory that has the letter "W" on its stats to the right. Once it does, use that weapon, target an enemy, then a new window pops up. The 1st will allow you to Double Attack and choose another enemy that is directly beside your target, and the 2nd will let you just attack and target that one enemy only. To finish them off quick, use Nadesico's Gravity Blast and ZZ Gundam's Hi Mega Cannon MAP weapons to finish them off quick. Don't forget to cast "bless" or "luck" with "aid" or "great effort" before finishing them off. **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Malliot is gonna snipe you, and will be supported by Wellner. Make yourself ready for long ranged cannons. Malliot will be the last boss to kill despite that he's up in front. Hence, let's start by smacking the 3 clowns first. Falken has 27000 HP, and the 3 lackeys have around 16000 HP. 2) Attack WELLNER. Yes, Wellner. Concentrate all your attacks on that guy. Remember that since he's in the center, Carl and Durn will support defend him FOUR TIMES (two for each character). So, once all 4 support defend chances are down, you may now smack Wellner silly until his unit is a goner. Now that Wellner is gone, Carl and Durn can't support defend anyone, and Malliot won't have an extra soldier to support attack whenever he attacks. 3) With Wellner down, you may now proceed in destroying Malliot, or Durn or Carl first, whichever you think is more annoying or according to your preferrences. For Malliot however, you need to halve his Falken's HP, then smack it with Baikanfu-Drill's synchro attack. If Rom casts "hot blood", damage can go to as high as 16000 damage in just one attack. Thankfully, none of them will retreat when their HP goes down. Remember the 7-turn time limit! SCENARIO 31 Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - Dendoh or Nadesico B is destroyed Strategies: 1) You see those 4 highlighter panels on the crater near you? Take note of that because you will need it later. Now for combat. Destroy all Dendoh enemies in the map, including the Knights Bug, Virus, Error and Lock. Take your time to build up your morale, because you will need it. Once there's only a few enemies left, an event will trigger, releasing Ragou to attack. It will be supported with 3 more grunts, and they are easy to kill. When Ragou comes out, the objectives will change. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition: Ragou reaches the designated spot Lose condition: Nadesico B, Dendoh or Ragou is destroyed Strategies: 1) Your objective is to get Ragou to those 4 highlighted panels on the crater. Getting Ragou to step there is kinda tricky, but not difficult. Remember that Ragou will only attack Dendoh, so that should help put a lid on everything. Use Dendoh as bait to move Ragou near those 4 panels. With your party nearby, BLOCK RAGOU'S MOVEMENT RANGE AND CAGE/CONFINE IT. Give Ragou a long, linear movement space for it to move, reaching the 4 panels as the last stop. Remember that it moves twice. With Dendoh as bait, Ragou will head towards Dendoh's direction. Keep on limiting Ragou's movement until it reaches the 4 panels as designated. Since I find it hard to explain how I did it in words, here's a simple diagaram to help you out: **Diagram!** Legend: X = Ragou O = your allies K = the 4 Panels D = Dendoh OOOOO OXKKO D O KKO OOOOO Of course, there are not that many members on your party, but you get the idea. Keep letting Dendoh move away, while your party members continue to block Ragou and limiting its movement until eventually you cave Ragou in. With Ragou caved, move Dendoh even further away, and Ragou will still attempt to chase it, and eventually it will hit one of the 4 panels. Mission complete. Strategies: 2) After successfully capturing Ragou, Devil Satan 6 appears with Bug and a few more Gandorans. Ragou will be set free and the mission objectives will change yet again. Destroy all Gandoran soldiers... easily. Dendoh will uninstall both its Gattling Boar and Dragon Flare Data Weapons, so fists will be its weapons now. Keep a repair unit beside Dendoh, because it will be damaged... A LOT. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Leave Ragou with only 5900 HP left Lose condition - Nadesico B, Dendoh or Ragou is destroyed **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Bug is very easy, despite having 33000 HP. His armor is a bit average, and he won't retreat either, so just play along with him using Baikanfu, Drill and Jet until you whittle away with his HP. With little HP left, finish him off using any character you want to level up. 2) Devil Satan 6 is again, easy to beat, like in previous scenarios. He won't retreat, just like Bug. Just be careful not to get hit by his Chain Attacks because they are still powerful and can kill a Mobile Suit easily in one hit. Use Baikanfu, Drill and Jet to little by little smack down his HP until you eventually kill him (perhaps using Reina or Nadesico B, just for the sake of leveling them up). 3) Ragou will only attack Dendoh during its attack phase, but unlike last time, it will retaliate whenever you attack it. Keep an eye on Dendoh's HP and repair it when necessary. Remember that Ragou can dodge your attacks sometimes, so don't underestimate it. Ragou has 59000 HP, so you need to bring its HP down to 5900 or lower than that to win the scenario. It's not that hard to do so, but you will want to avoid attacking him with any character who doesn't have "flash" or "resist". Ragou is also a sniper, so expect your snipers to be hit unless you cast those defensive spells. Once you accomplish the scenario, an event triggers and Dendoh will finally get a new Data Weapon, the Kiba Striker. SCENARIO 32 Objectives: Win condition - Destroy the Mast Driver within 5 turns Lose condition - One of your units is destroyed Strategies: 1) You will gain control Malliot and his 3 lackeys Wellner, Carl and Durn. The game will point you a certain square in the map, on the top floor. Your objective is to destroy it within 5 turns. A very easy task. Just head out of the basement and up you go to the surface. Keep Durn beside Malliot to prevent any accidental hits. Don't forget to cast "accelerate" while moving. In a few turns, Wellner, Carl and Durn will go away, leaving Malliot behind. In turn, Malliot will charge to 150 morale, and you will gain control. At the same time, Dorchenoff will also appear in a Metal Armor, but it's pointless for you to kill him, because once his HP is drained to half or lower, Dorchenoff will regenerate. So ignore him and head towards that orange square as pointed by the game. Have Malliot cast "hot blood" and then attack it with the Falken's strongest missile attack. Watcb tbe scene and later, Magnate Ten will deloy. The objectives will change. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Destroy the gate at the basement Lose condition - Nadesico B is destroyed Strategies: 1) As you could see, there are tons of Metal Armors at the surface, and you have the basement where Malliot and company came from. For common sense, remember that Nadesico B can't enter the basement, so that means Ruri and Harry will stay outside, on the surface. Destroy all the Metal Armors, and once they are all beaten, bring your entire party down the basement. DO NOT DESTROY THE WALL UNLESS ALL PARTY MEMBERS ARE DOWN THE BASEMENT. Once they are, destroy it, and 4 Shishikis will appear, and so will Akito in his Black Serena. Like before, you can't control Akito. You will be shown a new passageway, with a new wall to destroy. Ignore it for the moment. Destroy all 4 Shishikis, then move your entire party towards that new passageway, until they are at the wall. DO NOT DESTROY THE WALL UNLESS ALL PARTY MEMBERS ARE NEARBY, IN FRONT OF IT. 2) Anyway, once your party has collected themselves in front of the wall, destroy it. Hokushin will appear in his Yatenkou, together with another set of Shihikis. Kazuya will cast various spells and gain 150 morale, and hence he will bring Daimos in front of Hokushin. Akito will gain 150 morale as well and will Boson Jump in front. Your objective will now change. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Drain Yatenkou's HP by 50% Lose condition - Black Serena or Daimos is destroyed **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Hokushin, like before is annoying and tough. Do take note that he has a whopping 29000 HP, plus tough armor of 1900 and a Distortion Field to boot. That's the reason why you're instructed to bring your entire party near the wall before destroying it. So you could barrage Hokushin's companions quickly and easily. Now that they are taken care of, there's only Hokushin left. 2) LEAVE THE DAMAGING OF HOKUSHIN TO AKITO. Yes, do NOT attack Hokushin, and instead let Akito do the dirty work until the Yatenkou's HP is around 16000. While Akito is busy damaging him, position Baikanfu directly beside Hokushin, Drill beside Baikanfu, and Dendoh (with Kiba Data Weapon loaded) beside Baikanfu. Once the Yatenkou's HP is around 16000 as mentioned before, let Rom cast "hot blood" and "concentrate", with all the necessary "bless" and "aid" spells by other party members, then have Baikanfu execute its synchro-attack with Lord Drill, and supported by Dendoh's Kiba Striker Final Attack. Although Baikanfu's synchro-attack with Drill is already strong enough to take on Hokushin alone, the Kiba Striker Final Attack just serves as a re-assurance that the Yatenkou will be destroyed (in case that the synchro-attack wasn't strong enough to kill him). SCENARIO 33 Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - Dendoh or Nadesico B is destroyed Strategies: 1) Dendoh will deploy in its Full Armor version, and you will now have two new recruits: Hikaru and Izumi, making the Buttercup Squadron complete! Use them to your advantage in this scenario, since they have their signature synchro-attack, their Formation Attack (which executes at a very cheap price of 10 EN). Also, play along with FA Dendoh and its 4 unique attacks spoofing 4 attacks of 4 mecha series... Xabungle's missiles, Gundam's Beam Rifle, Raideen's God Gogun and Combattler-V's Chodenji Yoyo (hence called Chodendoh Yoyo by Ginga and Hokuto, LOL). 2) Later a scene will take place, and you can now enter Aldebaran (that green, cell-like spaceship). Remember to destroy all enemies first before entering the ship!!! Once all are destroyed, position all units near the entry point, end your turn, then on the start of your turn, bring a unit in. 3) Once a unit enters the ship, Altea will deploy in his Ouga, and will call out all 4 Data Weapons (Unicorn Drill, Leo Circle, Dragon Flare and Gattling Boar). To make it even cooler, they will all deploy near you, just up front. Dendoh will remove its Full Armor parts (which is why you should enjoy using it as mentioned earlier), and the objectives will change. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Drain Knight Ouga's HP to only 20% left Lose condition - Nadesico B, Dendoh or any of the 4 Data Weapons are destroyed Strategies: 1) Notice that in the ship, there are more enemies, and there are walls to destroy. Do remember the walls and where they are located because you will need to deal with them later. **BOSS ALERT!** 1) YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY DECREASE OUGA'S HP A LOT AS SOON AS ATTACK IS POSSIBLE. The reason for this is that Ouga has a MAP weapon and is very, very dangerous. Altea will execute it if there are many allies within range, even if it means damaging Data Weapons. If by any chance a Critical hit takes place and it kills a Data Weapon, game over. Once Ouga's HP is drained by a quarter or so, Altea will install Viper Whip. Take the opportunity. Have an ally cast "flash" and attack Ouga, AND MAKE SURE OUGA USES VIPER WHIP FINAL ATTACK. This in turn will drain Ouga's EN to only 10 left, rendering him near to uselessness. Now you may topple him down and down. Once Ouga's HP is decreased even further, Altea will install Bull Horn, which he has an attack that does not require EN. From this point, you may want to keep on decreasing its HP until Ouga has only 8000 HP left, then end your turn. Once the enemy finishes its turn and you did your necessary defensive stuff, you may now proceed t o kill Ouga with whatever strong attack you have, so take this opportunity to level up any character you wish (as long as its attack is fatal, or if not, at least will be supported by another attack to make it fatal). 2) After destroying Ouga, you will notice that there are some more enemies further in the ship, the objectives will change again. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Find and locate Ouga in the ship Lose condition - Nadesico B or Dendoh is destroyed Strategies: 1) As you noticed before, there were walls that you can destroy. Well, destroy the wall that is closest to you, and you will enter a room that has a crate. Take the crate to get an item, and destroy the other wall that is blocking your way. Once you destroy it, 3 drones are there, ready to attack you. Destroy them, and notice there are two more walls. DO NOT DESTROY THE WALL AT THE CENTER. Instead, destroy the wall that is directly opposite/in front of the wall that you just destroyed. Once you do, you will see an open room, with a new crate. Get the crate to get an item. Now, destroy all remaining enemies, until finally, you can destroy that one remaining wall at the center to finally locate Ouga. Watch the event, and then the scenario ends. SCENARIO 34 Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - Dendoh or Nadesico B is destroyed **TIP!** Before you start the scenario, install a Anti-Dust Mechanism on Cell Booster so it could move on the ground. Install stat-boosting equipment on your Aesties as well. Strategies: 1) As you start the scenario, deploy all Aestevalis units, as well as Cell Booster. Dendoh will auto-sortie. Bring Cell Booster to the ground so it can move without flying. Giga Gourmet will deploy with his Gulfer army, and he will activate a barrier that will drain your EN QUICK AND EASY. But not to worry, if you have installed that Anti-Dust Mechanism on Cell Booster, Cell Booster can move on the ground. Fortunately for you, if you deployed your Aestevalises, then you won't have a big problem with the EN drain because their EN is entirely dependent on Nadesico B. Hence, they will still be able to use their Distorition Fields and their Distortion Punches, as well as the Formation Attack of Ryoko, Hikaru and Izumi. 2) Remember that all of your units (except the Aestivalises) will get 0 EN after a few turns. Dendoh is a bad case, because once Dendoh's EN is 0, you will not be able to move even if it's on the ground, and you can't attack either. For Cell Booster, the only unit that can refuel Dendoh, if it's flying, it can't move, and hence you can't use the Hyper Dendoh Dench. So, if you followed my advice earlier and you installed the Anti-Dust Mechanism on Cell Booster to give it an A on Land Terrain, it can move on the ground, and hence you can still reach Dendoh and re-energize it with its Dench. Otherwise, if Cell Booster is flying, it can't move with 0 EN, making both Dendoh and Cell Booster sitting ducks. Do recall if Dendoh is destroyed, game over. 3) A few turns later, Altea will arrive in his Ouga and an event will trigger, cancelling the barrier, bringing all your EN back to normal. The other half of Magnate Ten will also arrive in time, only to be greeted by Diondora, Ashura and their Gandoran army. You will now be able to control Altea and his Ouga. **BOSS ALERT!** 1) You do not need any special strategies to beat the crap out of Diondora and Ashura. They both won't retreat, and well, they just have around 40000 and 30000 HP respectively. Just mash them using your super robots or Dragonar units, and let the fireworks fly if you use Zeorymer against them. Remember to cast the necessary spells before destroying them, and take the chance to level up your low-leveled characters that you want to train. 2) DO NOT DESTROY GIGA GOURMET UNLESS ALL ENEMIES ARE DEAD. Otherwise, if you destroy him, all living enemies will retreat. Now, on to him. He has around 60000 HP, and well, he's still easy. Transform Ouga into normal mode (uninstall Viper Whip) and bring it close to Dendoh. This will open up a new synchro-attack, the Shippu Sou Ren Geki. Also, play around with Giga Gourmet using Ryoko, Hikaru and Izumi's Formation Attack (and have fun doing it). You will eventually beat him, and without breaking a sweat either. SCENARIO 35 Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - Vermillion or Raideen is destroyed Strategies: 1) Deploy a LOT of flying units in this scenario because it's water terrain and it will slow down movement, not to mention weaken some attacks (particularly from Mobile Suits). 2) RahXephon will temporarily leave your party, and will enter Tokyo Jupiter (you can't control Ayato either). Vermillion, Raideen and your two motherships will automatically deploy. Destroy all enemies, pure and simple. Your main enemies here are easy Dolems, and even though the red Dolems have 15000 HP, they are still easy to kill. You don't need any more special strategies, and no, there are no bosses, so consider this a breather from the previous difficult scenarios. SCENARIO 36 Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - One of your units is destroyed **TIP!** Before you start the scenario, equip a Minovsky Craft on both EVA-01 and 02. Strategies: 1) You will start the scenario with your 4 EVA units. Yes, four of them, because EVA-03, piloted by Shinji's classmate Touji Suzuhara, will join you. DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT LET TOUJI KILL ANY OF THE DOLEMS. In fact, it's best if you don't touch EVA-03 at all. Leave all the kills to Shinji. Don't worry, the Dolems are easy to beat. If you equip a Minovsky Craft to EVA-01 and 02, you can use Progressive Knives in the air, removing your need to use Sniper Rifles against all the flying Dolems (making it cost-effective). DO NOT LET SHINJI CAST ANY SPELLS. CONSERVE YOUR SP. 2) Here's the reason. Once all Dolems are defeated, EVA-03 will go berserk and become the 13th Angel Bardiel, and will make short work out of EVA-00 and EVA-02. Your objective will change yet again. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Drain Bardiel's HP by more than 70% Lose condition - EVA-01 is destroyed Strategies: 1) This part is very easy. If you didn't let Shinji cast any spells, then make Shinji cast "hot blood" and use the Magrock E Sword against Bardiel. Don't forget "flash" as well. Do it again and by this time you would have halved Bardiel's HP. An event will trigger so watch it. Afterwards you will gain control of RahXephon, and will go one on one against Vibrato. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Destroy Vibrato Lose condition - RahXephon is destroyed **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Vibrato is very, very easy. Its pilot, Asahina, is weak, and well, watch Ayato go berserk and get really bad sore eyes. Her attacks are easily blocked by RahXephon's barrier, and its weapons are very high-damaging against her. By now Ayato has learned "love", so don't cast it yet. Gradually decrease Vibrato's HP until it's low enough. Once it is, let Ayato cast "love" and use RahXephon's Voice attack to completely defeat her. Watch the scene that will follow, it's very, very rare. The scenario will now end. SCENARIO 37 Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - RahXephon is destroyed Strategies: 1) RahXephon will go solo against an army of Dolems, led by a mysterious ??? guy who pilots the Obbligato with 60000 HP. Later, Ayato will go get his sore eyes again, and will gain 150 morale, activating RahXephon's voice attack. Once you depleted the HP of Obbligato by a certain small amount, an event will trigger, causing RahXephon to be caved in and surrounded by Dolems. Whenever you will attack them, they will defend and won't retaliate. 2) Meanwhile, the 14th Angel Zeruel will appear, and EVA-02 comes out and defends NERV, to no avail. EVA-00 also attempts to defend the base by using a bomb, but fails too. Your objectives will change. Rom, however will appear in Baikanfu, and the objectives will change. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - RahXephon or Baikanfu is destroyed Strategies: 1) Do not even bother attack Zeruel. Any attacks you make will be blocked by its AT Field. Even a hot-blooded God Hand Smash will be blocked by its AT Field. So keep on letting Rom cast "flash". Later, Magnate Ten will appear on the surface, and well, everyone except your 2 motherships will gain 150 morale. Now, Dolems will retaliate whenever you attack them, except the ??? guy, who will continue to defend and defend. 2) Don't even bother trying to destroy the Obbligato. It drops no items, and has a barrier to protect it which removes around 1200 to 1500 damage. Besides all the Dolems he's with are worth more money... the Allegretos, Graves... plus you can train your low-level characters as well. Remember to kill them all quick. 3) The reason: once Shinji deploys in EVA-01, an event will trigger, and well, Zeruel will be eliminated. Once Zeruel is gone, the ??? guy will retreat. Also, this event will take place after a few turns pass, meaning that it WILL take place, whether you like it or not, you can't delay it since it's not trigger-activated. If you kept on attacking Obbligato and he doesn't die, then you've wasted your time, weapons and spells for nothing. SCENARIO 38 **IMPORTANT NOTE!** Deploy Boss in this scenario, preferably in his Bossborot. If you choose to deploy Bossborot, equip it with your best stat-boosting items like Chogoukin New-Z. Objectives: Win condition - Have Duke convince Morse Lose condition - Grandizer, Nadesico B or Nel Aghama is destroyed Strategies: 1) A relatively easy scenario, despite the time limit. Transform Grandizer into Spacer Mode, or combine it with Double Spacer and head towards Morse. Although Morse's forces are high-HP Enbanjuu, they pose no challenge, especially if you bring out Zeorymer. Just bring Masato's morale up to 140, bring Zeorymer in the center of the Enbanjuu army, let Masato cast "hot blood", let someone cast "bless" and "aid" on him, then use Zeorymer's Meiou Kougeki MAP weapon to kill all the Enbanjuus in range instantly. Of course, do this only after you have leveled some of your important characters, and well, it's also good to kill some of them individually, casting "bless" and "luck" as necessary. You will need to do this just to increase morale too. Once you bring Duke to Morse, the objectives will change. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Destroy Morse Lose condition - Grandizer, Nadesico B or Nel Aghama is destroyed **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Morse is still tremendously easy and well, you don't need any special strategies to kick his ass. So just bring in any low-leveled character that you wish to level and just duke it out on him. The 5-turn time limit is gone at this point so there's no need to rush things. Once you have defeated him, a scene will take place. Watch it, and the objectives will change yet again. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - Grandizer, Nadesico B or Nel Aghama is destroyed Strategies: 1) Barendos will deploy in a Great Mazinger, and he'll boast by deploying an army of Mass Produced Great Mazingers. Jiggler will accompany him in his own Enbanjuu, plus an Enbanjuu army of his own. 2) This is why you are instructed to bring out Boss as you start the scenario. If you let Boss destroy one of the Mass Produced Great Mazingers, it will cause Boss to take an MP Great Mazinger and adding it to your inventory. Yes, you will get to own and use a MP Great Mazinger, so that's another special Mazinger unit for your Mazinger pilots. Do take note that an MP Great Mazinger has 16000 HP, so make sure Boss can handle his target well. You wouldn't want him to get killed in the process. **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Jigler's Enbanjuu is not that difficult, but he has a shield that will really be annoying at times whenever you attack. Don't be surprised if some of your attacks deal less damage than usual. You may want to disperse his shield first by constantly attacking him using your motherships (sniping him is a good way to make him lose his shield fast). Once the shield counter reaches 0, you can then pummel him to smithereens. 2) Barendos is in a 56000 HP Great Mazinger, but he's still easy to beat so don't be overwhelmed by him. The best way to beat him is to have him drain his EN by letting him constantly use his Thunder Break (and watch him use it like crazy). He won't escape, naturally so take it easy, you won't break a sweat. If you deployed your Super Robot Mazinger army you can even use Final Dynamic Special against him just for kicks. SCENARIO 39 **TIP!** Before you start the scenario, upgrade Dendoh, equip stat-boosting items on it, together with Gear Knight Ouga. Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - Dendoh, Ouga, Nadesico B or Nel Aghama is destroyed Strategies: 1) This will be a long fight, so make sure you come prepared. For starters, do NOT deploy any EVA units or Aestivalises. Deploy your best mechs. If you are deploying God Gundam, make sure you deploy Nobel Gundam as well. Same thing goes for the Dragonars (those 3 units must always go together). If you are bringing out Kenryuu/Baikanfu, then deploy Lord Drill. 2) As you start the scenario, you will see that Spiral City has its usual armies, and 10 mechs, situated at 2 opposite ends of the city. Note that they are seperated into 2 groups, 5 enemeis each. The center one is a Knight Lock. If you look closely, they are blocking the entrance to the Spiral City. The 1st group blocks the front entrance, the 2nd group blocks the back entrance. By priority, YOU MUST INFILTRATE THE BACK ENTRANCE FIRST. The reason is because once you enter Spiral City in that entrance, a crate containg a very nice item awaits you. Once you get the said item, you can go in the front entrance. 3) Take note that the Knight Lock and its surrounding comrades won't retaliate whenever you attack. Instead they will either defend or attempt to dodge. This will get pretty annoying for you, but there's still a good solution for this. USE MAP WEAPONS to clear them out. That way they get a lot of damage (since they can't pick to defend or dodge). Zeorymer is the best candidate for clean-up. Meiou Kougeki, when Masato uses "hot blood" can do wonders and kill all 5 members in just one shot if morale is high enough and if Zeorymer's weapons are upgraded. Now that you have destroyed the blockers you may now proceed to go inside. From this point on you can't use your motherships because obviously, motherships can't fit in there. Make sure you have used them to their fullest outside the Spiral City while you had the chance. 4) Notice that you are in a dead end, but you will see that your left and right walls can be taken down. DO NOT DESTROY BOTH WALLS AT THE SAME TIME. DESTROY ONLY ONE WALL FIRST. Doing so will bring out Giga Abzolute and her army of Knight Bugs and Knight Errors if you destroy the left wall. If you destroy the right wall, it will be Giga Witter and his same army of Knight Errors and Knight Bugs. You will notice that there is a small group of Knight Viruses at the opposite end of the city. Ignore them for a while and destroy the boss first (whichever wall you take down first). ONCE YOU HAVE DEFEATED A BOSS AS WELL AS ITS COMPANIONS, DESTROY THE KNIGHT VIRUSES IN THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE CITY. ONCE YOU HAVE DONE SO, DESTROY THE OTHER WALL TO FACE THE OTHER BOSS. Do it one at a time because you wouldn't want to be overrun with enemies and get killed in the process. **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Giga Abzolute has only one attack... and that's turning herself into a mercury-like liquid then materializing into blades and stabbing you. Note that this attack is strong and could be fatal if you are not careful. Also note that she's standing on a spot where she can regenerate HP and EN. Therefore, you will need the power of your super robots to continously smash her. If you deployed God Gundam and Nobel Gundam, then use Double God Finger on her, and do the same thing with your other units. You have to use synchro-attacks against her because if your attacks are too weak, the panel that allows her to regenerate HP and EN will offset your damage, and that will be a waste of time and resources. Despite that you have to watch her HP all the time, she's still easy. Do remember that by default, she will attack Dendoh or Ouga, should they be in range. So do check their HP if ever she decides to attack them because things could get ugly. 2) Giga Witter is not like Giga Abzolute. He has two attacks, and well, he's just basically using his body and throwing his body parts at you painfully. Well that's about it, the other one is just a plain laser. However, his similarity to Giga Abzolute is that he is also standing on a panel that regenerates his HP and EN, so you have to continously crush him with synchro-attacks and stuff. Again, by default, he will attack Dendoh and Ouga if they are in range, so do take care of them. He's about as easy as Giga Abzolute too. 3) Once you have defeated both Giga Abzolute and Giga Witter, the Boss of Spiral City will deploy in the center of Spiral City. Dendoh and Ouga will automatically move in front of him, so just follow to where they go, since they are nearby. Your mission objectives will change. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Destroy the Boss of Spiral City within 4 turns Lose condition - Ouga or Dendoh is destroyed or if the Boss of Spiral City isn't destroyed by 4 turns **BOSS ALERT!** 1) The Boss of Spiral City has a whopping 76000 HP, and has only one attack... he'll simply shock your brains out. Not really a hard opponent despite the time limit. Don't let Dendoh or Ouga load any Data Weapons. Yeah, you read right. Use normal fists so they could execute their synchro-attack, the Shippu Sou Ren Geki. Your other characters should quickly move in to the boss and deplete its HP quick because if you fail, Spiral City will be space barbeque, along with anyone in it. The Boss is actually a lot easier than Giga Abzolute and Giga Witter because he stands only on thin air and there is no special regeneration whatsoever. Don't take your time though. Cast all the "hot blood" you'll ever need, and keep on executing synchro-attacks. You may even destroy him even on your 2nd turn if you are very aggressive and have the means. SCENARIO 40 **TIP!** Before starting the scenario, if you have enough cash, fully upgrade the weapons of Getta Dragon, Mazinger-Z, Great Mazinger and Grandizer. Equip a Minovsky Craft on Grandizer. Yes, you read right. Just do it. Explanation will follow later. If possible upgrade the weapons of D1. Objectives: Win condition - Decrease Largo's HP to 40% left Lose condition - Nadesico B or Nel Aghama is destroyed Strategies: 1) A relatively easy scenario. A bunch of Dotems and Metronomes. You could destroy them all easily. To get ready for Kuuki and his Dolem, the Largo, you have to get Duke's morale to as high as 150 as possible. Remember that Koji, Tetsuya and Ryouma's morale should be in a 130 minimum. If you brought out Domon and he has support attack as a skill, then he should be 150 morale too, and Alenby should have 130 minimum morale as well. Same thing goes with Ken in his D1, who should have 150 morale if he has the support attack skill. In this case, even Tapp and Light should have a minimum morale of 120. Remember, focus on the CHARACTER that's gonna destroy Largo. Forget the rest. They are just there to fulfill the synchro-attack obligation since they are required for it to be executed. **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Largo is easy at first since you can easily snipe it without worries. The hard part is when your party gets closer. Largo, by default, will use its MAP laser when there is more than 1 target in range (and in this case, if your party gets close, it will DEFINITELY be more than 1 target). Therefore, every enemy turn, Largo will use its MAP weapon. It will only use its non-MAP laser only when retaliating. Don't forget that Largo has its En Jin Heki/Sonic Barrier to decrease 1500 damage from any attack you pull off. Plus, it has 79000 HP, and when it reaches 40% HP (that's 31600 HP), Largo will retreat. Think that 31600 is hard to pull off? Not really. 2) Defeating Largo took me constant experimentation and a lot of failed attempts before I got the right combination. If you followed my advice earlier by equiping the Minovksy Craft to Grandizer, and his weapons are fully upgraded, along with Mazinger-Z, Great Mazinger and Getta Dragon, then their strongest synchro-attack, the Final Dynamic Special will have around 7800 or more attack power. Once you depleted Largo's HP to near 31600 (31700 or so is sufficient enough with allowance), bring in the 4 super robots needed, and make sure Grandizer is beside another unit who can execute a synchro-attack (D1, or Nobel Gundam with God Gundam beside her is good). Have Duke cast "hot blood" and cast the necessary spells. Execute the Final Dynamic Special, supported with either the Dragonar Team's D-Formation Attack S or the God-Nobel Gundam Double God Finger synchro-attack. The reason why Duke should execute it is because he has the skill "Sentotsu", or the Leadership/Split Screen Atta ck, which ensures a critical hit by both Grandizer and the supporting allies. 3) EXPLANATION: The reason why Grandizer should have a Minovsky Craft installed, despite that it can fly if in Spacer Mode or if combined with Double Spacer, is because Final Dynamic Special has a C rating in water. The scenario's mostly water terrain. Grandizer can't execute the Final Dynamic Special in Spacer mode. Grandizer can execute it in robot mode, but it can't fly, and since it can't fly, it will be in water. Hence, the Final Dynamic Special, when executed will be very, very weak since it has C rating in water. So in order to extract full power of the attack, Grandizer has to fly, in robot mode. To do this, you need the Minovsky Craft installed. Got it? I told you I Know what I'm saying. 4) There is another alternative method. You can use Tetsuya, Koji or Ryouma to execute the Final Dynamic Special instead of Duke, but you will need the help of your motherships or anyone with a MAP weapon. Use your allies with MAP weapons to attack any of the 3 of them that you want to execute the attack until its HP gets REALLY critical. This will in turn activate the "Potential" skill, which increases critical, hit and dodge rate when HP is decreased more and more. So even without the Leadership/Split Screen Attack skill, there's a high probability that the Final Dynamic Special will score a critical hit, depending on the executing unit's HP and Potential skill level. SCENARIO 41 Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - Cerbers Ignite is destroyed Strategies: 1) When you start the scenario, you will notice Largo is located at the opposite edge of the map. Ignore him because pursuing him is a waste of time and the terrain is awful. It's suggested that you move FORWARD (to where your party is facing) towards the beach/forest terrain. 2) Later Medius will deploy and Cerbers Ignite will break off your party and go one on one with him. Note that you can never defeat Medius in this scenario because once you damaged it greatly, it will simply regenerate to full HP so don't waste resources. So hence, you are to ignore 2 bosses: Largo and Medius. Make sure you bring back Cerbers Ignite together with your party as soon as possible because Medius will be very difficult and you will need to defend and not retaliate whenever it attacks. 3) The reason why you should head to the forest terrain where your party is originally facing is because Hidler appears with a Hyakki beast army. By now your party would have been near their deployment points so begin the offensive. **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Hidler is as easy as he was in the previous encounters. Again you don't need special strategies to kick his ass even with 19000 HP and all. Just defend whenever your units' HP is half and he attacks with his blade because it may be deadly depending on your unit that he is targetting. Once you defeat him (easily), a beautiful event will take place so enjoy it while you still can. SCENARIO 42 **TIP!** Before you start the scenario, equip good armor on Getta Dragon. Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - Getta Robo is destroyed Strategies: 1) You will start the scenario with only Getta Dragon against 6 Hyakki beasts. If you equipped Getta Dragon with good armor before you started then they should be a piece of cake. Destroy them all, and you don't have to hold back on EN. Use Getta Beam or whatever good attack Getta has to offer, just to beat them up. After defeating a certain humber of Hyakki beats, King Brai will call on reinforcements and hence, lots of more Hyakki beasts will deploy. Watch the scene and later, you'll be prompted to deploy Magnate Ten. Getta Robo will retreat as well. Your mission objectives will change. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - Nel Aghama or Nadesico B is destroyed Strategies: 1) This is NOT a challenge, I assure you. Don't be overwhelmed by their sheer numbers and 5-digit HPs. Dragonosaurus will appear as a boss here, but it's not even difficult. To destroy a huge amount of their numbers just bring Zeorymer in, get Masato's morale to 140, bring Zeorymer in the middle of the Hyakki mob, cast the necessary spells and attack using the Meiou Kougeki MAP weapon. Really powerful stuff, and a good way to earn money and PPs for Masato and Miku. DO NOT LET ROM AND DOMON CAST ANY SPELLS AS YOU BEGIN YOUR TURN, AND DO NOT LET THEM KILL AN ENEMY UNIT EITHER. The reason shall now commence: 2) Later on, God Gundam and Kenryuu/Baikanfu will leave the map. You are hereby forced to finish the entire Hyakki army without these 2 powerhouses. But it's ok, as long as you have Zeorymer the difficulty will be drop dramatically. Sooner or later you'll find yourself against only Dragonosaurus. **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Dragonosaurus is a flyer, and well, poses no challenge despite its 50000++ HP. Although you can't snipe it, you can attack head on and mash it the old-fashioned, barbaric way. Its bite attack is a bit powerful but not too deadly provided that your units are well-upgraded (at this time they should be). You should be able to take it out in just one turn, or perhaps two if you're holding back. No sweat. 2) After you defeated Dragonosaurus, the big cheese King Brai will deploy in his own Hyakki beast. Zuril, a Grandizer baddie, will appear and send out Mega Gilgilgan and 2 Bigtrons, then retreat. Domon and Rom will appear in God Gundam and Baikanfu respectively, and so will Getta Dragon. That's the reason why you shouldn't cast any spells in the start of the scenario... it's because once they deploy, they will start off at full 150 morale. If you cast "charge" or "force" to add morale then it will all go to waste. 3) Mega Gilgilgan and the Bigtrons are too easy, just like Dragonosaurus. Again, do not be overwhelmed by their 50000++ HP, they aren't as tough as they look. They're just ugly. Just remember NOT to snipe Mega Gilgilgan because it can retaliate, and the Bigtrons have only one simple electric attack that isn't too deadly. Again, like Dragonosaurus, you don't need any special tactics. You can dispatch them easily. 4) Brai, however is a different story. His Hyakki beast is slow, but even if it has 70000+ HP, it won't be pretty if you get hit by its fire breathing. Even with an armor point of 2000, Brai can halve an 8000 HP Getta Dragon with just one fire breath. Despite all that, Brai isn't all that difficult... just painful. Remember that if you're not confident with your units' HP (if it's halved or whatnot) and Brai attacks it, DEFEND. DO NOT DODGE UNLESS YOU HAVE A GOOD DODGE RATING OR IF NECESSARY. Never trust a dodge percentage of higher than 20%. Brai doesn't retreat (after all it's his first and last battle), so just duke him out with Getta and you'll eventually finish the scenario... and the Hyakki Empire. SCENARIO 43 **TIP!** Before you start the scenario, equip good armor on Dendoh, Ouga and mobility-increasing items on Vega's motorcycle. Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - One of your units is destroyed Strategies: 1) As you start, Subaru deploys in his mech, the Knight Legacy, and with him are Diondora and Devil Satan 6 with some Gandoran grunts. Subaru attempts to get ahold of Ouga, and so Ouga moves on his own, towards them. The Dendoh team will be auto-deployed, so get them in to attack. ALWAYS MAKE SURE DENDOH IS BESIDE AN ALLY. REMEMBER THAT. Later Hokuto will gain control of Ouga, and Subaru closes in for the attack. Your objectives will change. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Deplete Knight Legacy's HP to lower than 25000 Lose condition - One of your units is destroyed Strategies: 1) Knight Legacy isn't difficult despite having 40000 HP, and you can take it on easily using your Dendoh-Ouga synchro attack, the Shippu Sou Ren Geki. When Legacy's HP reaches less than 25000, Subaru will retreat and something nasty happens. The base will be under attack, and so there will be two floors: the underground and the surface. Vega will go underground only to be met by Zero and Bug with the Gandoran army, and Vega will be surrounded/blocked. Dendoh too, will be surrounded with Knight Errors, and to make matters worse, Ouga, along with Hokuto, will be taken away and a couple of more Knight Bugs, Viruses and Locks will deploy. 2) This is the reason why Dendoh should be beside an ally. The reason for this is the Knight Errors won't budge, and will only defend or attempt to dodge. If an ally is beside Dendoh then the Knight Errors can't completely surround and cage Dendoh in, so Dendoh can easily move out and escape. Magnate Ten will now deploy. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - Nel Aghama or Nadesico B is destroyed Strategies: 1) Split your team into two, the other team will go down to the underground to help Vega, the othe team will close in and attack Devil Satan 6 and Diondora. Make sure the heavy-duty muscled mechs get to be at the surface and the lighter, agile and a few super robots go underground. If you deployed the Dragonar Team, then bring them down to the underground. Same thing applies to Mobile Suits. Don't think of deploying Aestevalises. If you deploy them, they stay at the surface because Nadesico can't go underground, and if an Aesty isn't at range of Nadesico's EN lining, they will constantly lose EN. **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Starting at the underground, are Bugman and Zero. First of all, Bugman is a bit agile, but since Vega is in her motorcycle, you can constantly abuse her and watch her dodge and dodge virtually EVERYTHING, even attacks from Bugman and Zero. Apparently, having Vega at the bottom prolly means instant win already since she's virtually untouchable, and equipping good mobility items on her motorcycle will make her godly. Bugman and Zero won't retreat, so kill Bugman first. Do take care not to be hit by Bugman's electricity otherwise if your unit gets hit, it will be paralyzed and won't be able to move. As for Zero, DO NOT KILL HIM IF ALL OTHER ENEMIES ARE STILL ALIVE. IF YOU DO, ALL THAT ARE STILL ALIVE WILL RETREAT. That's the reason why these two are mentioned first because it's very important. 2) Devil Satan 6 and Diondora are now buffed with 55000+ HP, but they are still as dumb as last time. They won't pose much of a threat to your party but do take care that Devil Satan 6's Chain Knuckles are quite powerful and will be fatal if you belittle it. Although Devil Satan 6 has muscle, Diondora can snipe, just like last time. They won't budge from their spot, but they won't retreat after reaching a certain HP. So just smash them repeatedley using Baikanfu or God Gundam or whomever you brought out to beat the crap out of them. Brining Nadesico B and Nel Aghama in to kill them is out of the question because you can't snipe them. Remember to constantly repair anyone who got hit by Devil Satan 6's claws. You will need it in case Diondora decides to use her Medusa Blade on Devil Satan 6's target. No special strategies are required in the offensive, but you have to just keep an eye on your units' HP that's all. SCENARIO 44 **TIP!** Before you start the scenario, equip good armor on Dendoh and Baikanfu. Also, make sure that Masato and Miku learn the skill "SP Recover", and if possible, "Concentration" (SP consumption is reduced to 80% of original cost). Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - Dendoh, Baikanfu, Power Riser, Nel Aghama or Nadesico B is destroyed Strategies: 1) Dendoh, Cell Booster Valhalla, Baikanfu and Power Riser will auto-deploy. Bring out your BEST units in this scenario, and Zeorymer is a MUST. No EVA units, no Aesties. Gulcios will debut and the rest of the Machine Robo baddies will deploy. This time, Diondora is beside Devil Satan 6, and will be surrounded with Phenomenas. The same thing applies to Gulcios. However, Bugman and Ashura will be closer and just be surrounded with Gandorans. Take out Bugman and Ashura's team first because they are the easiest. Start building your morale on the Gandoran grunts first. Make priority for Zeorymer. 2) Use Zeorymer to unleash its Meiou Kougeki MAP weapon against the Phenomenas that surround Diondora/Devil Satan 6/Gulcios. Don't bring ANY other units close because the Phenomenas can snipe. Zeorymer is the safest because it has tough armor, can do bunshin and has its Dimensional Link System activated when reaching 130 morale. Once you bring Zeorymer at the center of the mob of Phenomenas, cast the necessary spells and use the Meiou Kougeki MAP weapon quick to clear them all out. Remember that if Zeorymer gets attacked by Diondora/Devil Satan 6/Gulcios, DEFEND. If you're lucky, Zeorymer might even bunshin. You are to do this TWICE if you don't want to have a hard time (the 1st time is for Diondora/Devil Satan 6's set of Phenomenas, the 2nd time for Gulcios' set). 3) Later, Knight Legacy, Zero and Ouga will deploy. As you would notice, Hokuto will be manipulated by Subaru, and so he will be Ginga's opponent. Although Subaru and Zero will stay put, Hokuto will get his ass near Ginga as soon as he can and will ALWAYS attack Ginga if able. Your mission objectives will change. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Deplete Ouga's HP to 10% left (6300) Lose condition - Dendoh, Baikanfu, Power Riser, Nel Aghama, Nadesico B or OUGA is destroyed **BOSS ALERT!** 1) First, Ouga. Remember that you can't kill him, or you'll get a game over. Since Hokuto is gonna attack Ginga all the time if within attack range, abuse this and make Ginga situated beside your 2 motherships, and just repair them whenever they support defend Dendoh and get damaged. Another good thing about Ouga is that you can SNIPE him, so snipe him if able. Despite that he has 62950 HP, it won't be a burden. The real madness starts once you halve his HP. Once you do, Hokuto will install Viper Whip and will enable Ouga to use Illusion Flash (equivalent to bunshin). Not only that, Hokuto won't commit the same mistakes Altea made. Once you make Hokuto use Viper Whip Final Attack, Ouga's EN drains down to 10, but on its next phase its EN will be replenished, so that means Hokuto can use Viper Whip Final Attack again, and don't forget that he can use Illusion Flash. Patience will let you win against him, so just mash and mash him until Ouga's HP reaches 6295. Don't kill him ok ! Watch the scene, then watch Subaru and Zero retreat. 2) Although Diondora and Devil Satan 6 are still easy, the only main difference is now Devil Satan 6 can support attack, since after all they are beside each other. What you have to be afraid of, is Devil Satan 6, not Diondora. Although Diondora MIGHT miss even if she uses her Medusa Sword on you, Devil Satan 6's Chain Knuckle will have an increased hit rate, and hence you can get killed (I learned this the hard way). So for earlier measures, KILL DEVIL SATAN 6 FIRST. It's not gonna be much of a problem. If you followed my advice and got Zeorymer to kill all the Phenomenas, then they are prolly damaged brutally by now, so it's less effort to kill them. They won't be retreating, so once you do kick their asses, that will be their last. On to Glucios. 3) Glucios is surprisingly easy. So easy in fact, that you can even beat the crap out of him using Zeorymer alone. He poses no challenge at all so just play around with him since he won't retreat anyway. Once you finish all enemies an event will take place. Watch it and you will be kicked into a small arena with the big bad boss of the Gandorans: Gades. Your entire Machine Robo crew will be the only ones you can use against him. Your mission objectives will change. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - Deplete Gades' HP by 30% Lose condition - One of your units is destroyed Strategies: 1) This won't be a very difficult battle, so do abandon all plans of trying to kill Gades. You CAN'T defeat Gades the conventional way by beating him up. After all, it's just Rom, Drill, Jet, Reina and Jim. So I'll just tell you how to beat the crap out of him. Put Rom in front of Gades, and make sure Drill and Jet are beside Rom, making Rom in the center of the two. Reina and Jim can just be directly behind them. Now, depending on who has support attack, you should execute a synchro-attack. If Drill has the synchro-attack and Jet doesn't, then execute Baikanfu's synchro-attack with Jet and have Drill support attack, or vice versa. Rom should be executing it since he has the Sentotsu skill, thus giving him the Leadership/Split Screen Attack. Once you have depleted his HP by 30% an event automatically take place and thus, ending the scenario. Gades will drop an item, and Baikanfu will learn its final attack, the Unmei Ryodan Ken Twin Blade. SCENARIO 45 Objectives: Win condition - Destroy all enemies Lose condition - D1, Ouga or Nel Aghama is destroyed Strategies: 1) A very easy scenario to provide as a breather after facing the previous, difficult scenario. D1 and Ouga will auto deploy and you are prompted to deploy Magnate Ten. You are to face a band of Metal Armors which are easy and provide no challenge. 2) Later, Subaru appears in his Knight Legacy together with Zero, and Hokuto faces off against him. Move Ouga again towards your allies and watch Subaru take the bait and move in closer to Ouga. Remember that Ouga will be his only target if within range, and he can snipe. Zero will stay in once place and won't budge. 3) Again, later, Giganos will deploy a set of Gilgasamunes. They are 27000 HP each, but despite their menacing, samurai-like appearance and their HP, they are easy to beat. They can be EASILY SNIPED. Don't get close to them or else they'll slash you to pieces. Once the Giganos soldiers who pilot them have 110 morale they can now snipe you using their missile, but then again, they prolly won't reach 110 morale anyway since you're gonna kick their ass before that ever happens. **BOSS ALERT!** 1) You can't defeat Knight Legacy. EVER. But despite its 40000 HP, Subaru is still easy (he's not even fatal, not in any aspect). Once you get his HP down to 12000, an event will take place. Later Subaru will join you and you can use him as a pilot or subpilot for your Cell Boosters. **IMPORTANT NOTE!!** Ken and his Dragonar-1 will leave Magnate Ten after the scenario. SCENARIO 46 **TIP!** Before you start the scenario, equip good armor on your Mobile Suits and upgrade your Dragonar units' mobility, especially D3. Make sure Nel Aghama or any strong Mobile Suit is equipped with an EWAC (weak). Objectives: Win condition - Bring one of your units forward Lose condition - One of your units is destroyed Strategies: 1) A rather odd start, as you see, D2, D3, Getta Dragon and Z Gundam deploy. Your objective is to go forward. That's it. D3 can't move though. So just do it. Move a unit forward to enemy territory and watch the scene. Ken will appear in D1 as an enemy, so once he does, get Tapp or Light to convince him. Afterwards the REAL scenario will start. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition - D2 or D3 enters the base Lose condition - D1, D2, D3 or Nel Aghama is destroyed Strategies: 1) Ken appears as an enemy here again. You will now deploy your small Mobile Suit party against the entire Giganos army. Notice that there's a small entrance in the other side of the map as an entry to the base. You must get D2 or D3 to enter there. This will be very difficult because your party has only one super robot... Getta Dragon, and well, depending on your ZZ Gundam team, if their levels are quite low and their Mobile Suits are unupgraded then you'll have a REALLY hard time, but it's not impossible to win. After all you have Amuro and Quatro with you as well as Tapp and Light. 2) The entrance is blocked by Martian Successors, so don't be too aggressive to get in there. It's best if you destroyed all enemies instead. Remember that by default, Ken will attack Tap, so keep D2 protected. You can attack Ken if you want, but you shouldn't kill him so it's best to ignore him instead. The threat at the moment are the 8 Gilgasamunes that you are to battle. They have 27000 HP like last time, and well, taking them down will be challenge. The enemy will usually attack D3 or D2 if they are in range, so make sure your Dragonar units are surrounded with support defenders. For the Gilgasamunes, take them down SLOWLY, one by one. Use D3 as bait. If you equipped a good-dodging Mobile Suit witn an EWAC, then D3 should be beside that Mobile Suit and distract the enemy by making them attack D3 instead. Gradually you'll be able to defeat them all, but it will take a long time. Once you do destroy them all, get D2 or D3 inside. 3) Once you get in the structure, more enemies will appear and a wall will be shown. Destroy that wall and an event will take place. Ken will switch back to your side, and to make it more fun, Malliot, the Blue Eagle of Giganos will FINALLY join you in his Falken, and so will Min in her Stark Dyne! To top it off, Min, Malliot and Ken will have 150 morale. As the event continues, Dorchenoff appears and will retreat, and as he moves away a new wall appears. Destroy it and a wall appears, then will face a Gilgasamune with 4 Metal Armors. Get D1 beside Falken and you'll get the Twin Laser Sword synchro-attack, and at this point it's VERY, VERY STRONG. Destroy the Giganos brats easily. A new wall will be shown so destroy it to reveal a new, long pathway. Another Gilgasamune and 4 Metal Armors will appear at the very same spot that you killed them. Destroy them again, easily. Make your way thru the long pathway and destroy the last wall. Once you do, Dorchenoff appears in his own c ustom colored Gilgasamune, and he's surrounded by the normal green colored Gilgasamunes. **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Dorchenoff has a TON of HP, like 79000, and well, his Gilgasamune companions will support defend him if you attack him directly. The best thing to do then, is to get rid of his Gilgasamune companions one by one. Remember that you can snipe them, and you can EASILY accomplish this using your Mobile Suits. Don't get a set of your units too close, because if you do, Dorchenoff will execute his missile MAP weapon, and he won't care even if the soldier that is in front of him gets damaged or dies. Oh yeah, although you can snipe the Gilgasamune soldiers, you CAN'T snipe Dorchenoff because he can retaliate. So ignore Dorchenoff for the time being and destroy his soldier companions first. 2) Now as Dorchenoff is left alone, take him out easily using Ken and Malliot. By now, both of them have the "spirit" spell that multiplies damage by 2.5. Cast it and execute the Twin Laser Sword against Dorchenoff. By then the damage will be so great, that even with full HP of 79000, Dorchenoff will have VERY LITTLE HP LEFT after two Twin Laser Sword attacks... one executed by Ken and one executed by Malliot. Do take care of Malliot though... Ken has the "resist" spell but Malliot doesn't, so make sure Malliot DOES DODGE when Dorchenoff retaliates. So without further a do, finish off Dorchenoff. Yes, he's one of the easiest bosses in this game that can be slain with just 3 attacks. Plain and simple. With him down, the scenario ends. SCENARIO 47 **TIP!** Before you start the scenario, equip good mobility items on your Aesties. Objectives: Win condition: Destroy the Yatenkou (Hokushin) Lose condition: One of your units is destroyed Strategies: 1) Another breather scenario, and having a limited party. Ignore Hokushin at the moment and head towards Kusakabe in his mothership. The Shihikis that accompany Hokushin will be a pain in the neck, so once they head towards you and attack your party, immediately dispose of them (because they are the deadliest in this scenario). Your Machine Robo companions will easily take them out without any worries (unless of course Drill gets hit). Although Kusakabe will be surrounded with grunts, they are nothing to worry about. Your Aesties will do the trick. Ryoko, Hikaru and Izumi can just use their Formation Attacks all the time, and there's Saburouta as well. No sweat. 2) Later Akito will deploy in his Black Serena, and interesting enough is that he deploys BEHIND Hokushin. Pretty brave and bold. Like in the previous instruction, ignore Hokushin and have him support your party to prevent your Aesties from being destroyed. 3) Despite that Hokushin has 50000 HP, he is a bit tamer now and will attack Akito, ALL THE TIME. So take this advantage and have Akito retaliate him with Distortion Attacks everytime because Akito can easily dodge him. Just remember not to leave to kill Hokushin. **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Kusakabe is an easy boss, but he gets really annoying later because he will keep on using his mothership's MAP weapon. Fortunately, his range of attack is a cross-shaped pattern (meaning it's either his front, back, left or right side, and doesn't have any diagonal or spread-out MAP range). Keep your party out of the way of his MAP weapon and you shall be fine. Since he is very easy, you can just well, play with him until you had enough and decide to blow him up. Now is a good time to level Daimos or Baikanfu. Do not level Akito. Use him to damage anyone, but don't let him kill anyone, or anything. 2) You can't get to kill Hokushin. Really. However you can still even attempt to kill him, after all it's really the mission objective. Just remember that no matter how much or how strong or "supposed-to-be-fatal" your attack will be, the game will always leave a small amount of HP to Hokushin left. So before you "destroy" the Yatenkou, cast "bless" and "aid" on Akito. No kidding. Even if Akito is just there sitting pretty, cast the spells on him and don't let him deliver the "killing blow". By now Hokushin's HP is pretty low if you followed the advice earlier and have Akito retaliate everytime Hokushin attacks him. Have Baikanfu "kill" the Yatenkou. You will notice that there will be a small amount of HP left. Once you have done so, an event will trigger, causing Akito to kill Hokushin, and in turn, giving Akito experience and money. That's why you are instructed to cast the spells on him instead... he's gonna get all the credit for killing him. You have now finished the sto ryline of Nadesico: The Prince of Darkness in this game. SCENARIO 48 **TIP!** Before you start the scenario, equip good mobility items on the Shuffle Doumei, and equip even better armor on Grandizer and your Mazinger team. Equip good armor on Bossborot. Equip a Solar Cell on Raideen to regenerate its EN per turn. Upgrade the EN and mobility of the Shuffle Doumei as well. Objectives: Win condition: Destroy all enemies Lose condition: One of your units is destroyed Strategies: 1) You will begin the scenario with an event, and afterwards, you will solo off using Grandizer VS Zuril in his Mother Bun and his Enbanjuu and Minifos. This battle is gonna be easy so dont' be intimidated by being outnumbered. Just kill a Minifo or two and leave the rest for later. If you feel adventurous then go kill the Enbanjuu (or even Zuril for that matter), but it's best to go on the defensive and wait for your party to arrive. 2) Your party will arrive in a shuttle, so deploy all of them and deploy Bossborot if you want (you will need an EN refueler), and you'll definitely want to deploy the TFO as a repair unit, and for a very special function later on. The Shuffle Doumei will be the main targets of your enemies, so get them up to Super Mode as early as possible. It will really help if all your G Gundam pilots have learned "SP Recover" already, especially Alenby. With the Enbanjuus and Minifos you didn't kill using Grandizer earlier, you can give to your Shuffle Doumei to kill just to up their morale. Later Gandall will deploy in his own Vega beast, the Gura Gura, along with even more MP Great Mazingers. The mission objective will change. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition: Destroy Zuril and Gandall Lose condition: One of your units is destroyed Strategies: 1) Do take note that if you want to make money in this scenario, use Gundam Rose's Roses Screener MAP weapon to kill some Enbanjuus. Do take note that the MP Great Mazingers do not yield as much money as the Enbanjuus, so forget targeting them. But if you have SP Recover and have the SP to spare, then heck why not. This battle is gonna be long, arduous and tough beacuse you don't have a mothership (you can't even enter the shuttle that you came in to refuel). If you have ran out of EN, that's where Bossborot comes in to restore it for you, and of course it will cost the character 10 morale, so make sure that you conserve EN well, especially your Shuffle Doumei. **TIP!** For conserving EN of the Shuffle Doumei, Dragon Gundam can use Mu En Kiyaku (kick attack), Bolt can use Bolt Strike or the occasional Gravitron Hammer, Gundam Maxter can use its Fighting Knuckle and occasional Giant Magnums (guns), and Gundam Rose can keep on using Chevalier Sabre (because Roses Bit has only 8 ammo to it). For God Gundam, you can occasionally use God Slash Typhoon, but then it costs 15 EN, unless you want to rain Vulcans all the time, which will give around 3000 or so damage, which is kinda pissy. Strategies: 1) Take note that Gandall will be aggressive and he will join his MP Great Mazingers in the battle. The MP Great Mazingers are also gonna attack those with the lowest HP, and will use Thunder Break often if necessary (yes they are merciless). **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Zuril is in a Mother Bun, and he's immensely easy. It's like battling a Vegan soldier so there's no need to explain how to kill him. As for Gandall, even if his Gura Gura has a lot of HP, he's still nothing with your team. Just use constant Triple Mazinger Blades on him and use the Shuffle Doumei to play around (but DON'T use their Super Mode weapons). Don't forget to cast the necessary spells before killing any of them! 2) Once you have defeated Gandall and Zuril, King Vega will deploy in his mothership, the "King of Vega", and will be accompanied by a set of Bigtrons, Mother Buns, MP Great Mazingers and a Gilgilgan. Use Raideen to your advantage and follow this simple pattern once King Vega deploys and the mission objective will change yet again. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition: Destroy all enemies Lose condition: One of your units is destroyed Strategies: 1) Take a look at this diagram carefully. It will show the pattern of deployment of King Vega and his lackeys: **DIAGRAM!** (Pattern of deployment) XXXXX MVM BGB R Where: X = MP Great Mazingers (deployed may be erroneous) M = Mother Bun V = King of Vega B = Bigtron G = Gilgilgan R = Where you should position Raideen Look at the diagram closely. With Raideen positioned there, immediately cast the necessary spells and cast the GOD VOICE MAP WEAPON. Although there is a mistake in the diagram on how many MP Great Mazingers are deployed, but you could get the general idea. The MVM and BGB deployment of King Vega and the Bigtrons and Gilgilgans are accurate though. Also take note of the SPACES in the diagram above. You will notice that Raideen is not directly in front of Gilgilgan, but is rather, one square away. The same goes with King Vega, who is one square away rom Gilgilgan. Only the Mother Buns are directly beside him. So just use the God Voice MAP weapon and they will get really bad damage. **BOSS ALERT!** 1) King Vega is like Kusakabe in the previous scenario. His King of Vega is ridiculous in shape, and gets really annoying only when King Vega uses its MAP weapon. Again, like Kusakabe, the MAP weapon of the King of Vega is a Cross-pattern (only front, back, left and right, no diagonal or spread range). The best way to survive King Vega is to use the bait tactic. If you brought out the TFO (as advised earlier) and the pilot's level is high enough, King Vega, as well as any of his companions, will attack TFO, and miss. Yes, even at 0% hit rate, they will still attack the TFO and won't care if they miss. So while King Vega is distracted trying to hit your buzzing TFO, mash his King of Vega with your Mazinger units until his HP is down to a certain amount to trigger an event. Once the event occurs, King Vega will regenerate his HP and a red line will appear in the edge of the map. The mission objective will change. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition: Destroy King Vega Lose condition: One of your units is destroyed or if King Vega escapes by going to that red line in the edge of the map Strategies: 1) King Vega will go chicken mode and attempt to escape the map. This will make it very easy. Simply surround King Vega with your units and gradually mash away at his HP until he dies. He can't retaliate at this point (and he most prolly won't, since he isn't even using his MAP weapons). This would make one of the easiest boss fights ever in this game, and well, consider it a breather after all the hell you've been through in this scenario. After killing King Vega, Grandizer's story is finished, and so will the scenario. SCENARIO 49 Objectives: Win condition: Destroy all enemies Lose condition: Cerbers Ignite, EVA-00, EVA-02, RahXephon or ALIEL is destroyed Strategies: 1) Another breather scenario due to the intense difficulty of the previous one. Just simply destroy all enemies as soon as you deploy your party. Don't bother killing the ??? guy who pilots the Obbligato in the end of the map. Whenever you attack him he will defend, so he wont' retaliate. DESTROY ALL OTHER ENEMIES AS FAST AS YOU COULD. Bring Zeorymer in and attack using the Meiou Kougeki MAP weapon to kill the Alegrettos and Metronomes in front of Obbligato quickly (after casting the necessary spells of course). 2) In a few turns, a very long event will trigger and will promptly end the first half of the scenario. Once you gain control, you will notice that Kaworu Nagisa has taken control of EVA-02 and is already in front of Lilith. EVA-01 will go solo first, so it's a one-on-one battle between Shinji and Kaworu. Your mission objectives will change yet again. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition: Destroy the 17th Angel Tabris Lose condition: One of your units is destroyed **BOSS ALERT!** 1) First off, Kaworu will be unharmed by any attack you make during the one-on-one fight. So don't even bother attacking him at the time being. You will notice that Shinji will automatically cast "flash" at the start of your turn. Later, when your allies arrive, Kaworu's AT Field can now be breached, and well, he only has one attack, and that's the Progressive Knife. He also has a cut-in so enjoy it while you still can (and if you enjoy it of course). Kaworu is a very easy opponent and poses no threat or challenge to you, after all you do have Zeorymer and RahXephon at your side. Just finish him off and get it done with. Oh, don't forget to cast the necessary spells before killing him! SCENARIO 50 **TIP!** Equip good items on the Shuffle Doumei and Rising Gundam before starting the scenario. Objectives: Win condition: Destroy all enemies Lose condition: Shuffle Doumei, Rising Gundam, Cerbers Ignite, Nel Aghama or Nadesico C is destroyed Strategies: 1) DG Cells have manifested itself and has taken over the Mast Driver of Giganos. Michello Charriot of Neo Italy deploys in his Gundam Heaven Sword, Gentle Chapman of Neo England deploys in his Grand Gundam and a simple DG Zombie pilots the Walter Gundam (dammit it's not Minister Wong Yung Fat of Neo Hong Kong). They are situated beside each other, and they are surrounded with hordes of Death Armies and Birdies. Do take care that both Gundam Heaven Sword and Grand Gundam can snipe, so watch out for any of your units that get in their range of attack! 2) You are prompted to deploy Magnate Ten so do so and deploy the best fighters you have (especially Ken in his Dragonar-1 with Mallion in his Falken), this will be a long fight. When you kill a certain number of enemies, reinforcements of Devil Armies and Birdies will appear. This will happen around 3-4 times (lost count) so expect to be attacked by a horde of these DG Zombies. Not to worry, at least your morale can soar higher than usual. 3) Later Albero and Eldie deploy in the Medius... as your allies! It's good to see that, but still it's best if you don't let them kill anything, but that's your call if you still want to use them at this point after battling them a lot of times and reaching this far. Once you have destroyed the entire Death Armies and Birdies, it's time to go against the Shitenou (minus Master Gundam). Remember to kill all soldiers before the 3 bosses! **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Gundam Heaven Sword has around 67000 HP, Grand Gundam has nearly 80000 HP and Walter Gundam with 62950 HP. Since Walter Gundam is piloted by a Zombie it's no challenge to take it out. However, by priority, the 1st you have to kill is Gundam Heaven Sword because Michello can support attack, and it's no joke if Grand Gundam attacks and gets supported because their attacks can be deadly. Thankfully they don't have support defend, so take down Gundam Heaven Sword, and to quote Algo Garski, turn it into "Fried Chicken". You can use Zeorymer for that task, if you so wish. The best way to dispatch of them is to first group up your party in front of them (while keeping your support units and repair/refuel units far away as possible) to prepare for synchro-attacks, and when your turn comes, smash them. Ken and Malliot can make short work of those two, if you upgraded both Dragonar-1 and Falken's weapons fully. By letting Ken and Malliot cast "spirit" and attack using the Twin Laser Sword (their synchro-attack) you can easily take down more than 30000 of their HP in just one attack. Do it twice and it will be even deadlier. 2) Later, once you kill all 3 bosses, any remaining alive soldiers will retreat that's why you have to kill them all first before considering trashing the 3 of them. Same thing, when there are no enemies left in the map, Urube Ishikawa will appear in the Grand Master Gundam, and behind him pops the Devil Gundam! If you attack Devil Gundam you will notice that it will regenerate its HP. So your mission objectives will now change. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition: Destroy Grand Master Gundam Lose condition: Shuffle Doumei, Rising Gundam, Cerbers Ignite, Nel Aghama or Nadesico C is destroyed Strategies: 1) Another thing you should consider is this: although you CAN kill Devil Gundam despite that the objective calls for destroying Grand Master Gundam, you will gain no money or PPs for nuking it. Devil Gundam has 150000 HP and still, you will only get very little experience so it's not worth it. Consider concentrating on Grand Master Gundam instead. **BOSS BATTLE!** 1) Urube is very easy. Grand Master Gundam looks menacing but provides no challenge. Despite its 70000++ HP, it will still be a piece of cake with D1 and Falken around. So use their Twin Laser Swords and make Urube feel sorry for himself. Before you kill him, make sure you kill him using a character other than Domon. Cast an additional "bless" and "aid" at Domon too. After that, then you can kill him. Once you have defeated Urube, an event will take place and the Shuffle Doumei will learn their synchro-attack, the Shuffe Doumei Ken. Since you have cast "bless" and "aid" at Domon he will gain experience and double money. Afterwards, Urube will appear in the Devil Gundam. The mission objective will change yet again. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition: Destroy Devil Gundam Lose condition: Shuffle Doumei, Rising Gundam, Cerbers Ignite, Nel Aghama or Nadesico C is destroyed Strategies: 1) Despite that Urube went to Devil Gundam and now has 150000 HP, he is still surprisingly easy. The only thing is that he can snipe you more now and he's just butt-ugly. Again, it's time to abuse Ken and Malliot and just slash away at Devil Gundam's HP using the Twin Laser Sword, same thing goes with Zeorymer's Meiou Kougeki the Shuffle Doumei. Before totally killing off Devil Gundam using another character, again cast "bless" and "aid" at Domon. Once you have defeated Urube another event will take place, this time between Domon and Rain, and they will learn the Sekiha Love Love Tenkyoken. The scenario ends, as well as G Gundam's story in the game. SCENARIO 51 **TIP!** Equip good items on Dendoh, Ouga and Cell Booster Valhalla before starting the scenario. Objectives: Win condition: Nel Aghama and Nadesico C reaches the red point of destination within 8 turns or less Lose condition: Dendoh, Ouga, Cell Booster Valhalla, Nel Aghama or Nadesico C is destroyed, or Nel Aghama and Nadesico C does not reach the point of destination within 8 turns Strategies: 1)After a long scenario in the previous fight you are again provided with a breather. Your objective is simple. The game will show you a highlighted red panel/square at the edge of the map. Get both of your motherships in that panel in 8 turns or less, or else game over. Not really a bad thing considering that the enemies here are just Knight Bugs, Errors and Viruses. 2) Later, Zero will appear to attempt to slow you down and in the process, damage Nadesico C badly. However, Akito will also appear in his Black Serena to help you out. Repair Nadesico C as soon as possible. Once you have defeated a certain number of enemies, a group of Knight Locks will appear near the red panel. To remedy this, bring Zeorymer in and take them all out using the Meiou Kougeki MAP weapon. Remember that the group of Knight Locks will appear there THREE TIMES, so you have to kill 3 large groups of it. This is not a problem for the mighty Zeorymer. Cast "anticipate" on either Masato or Miku to replesnish their SP by 50 if ever they run out of SP. 3)After bringing both motherships on the red panel, an event will trigger, ending the scenario. **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Zero, is a very easy opponent like before. If you kill him, he will revive and you won't get any money from him either. Just experience and perhaps PPs (on the first kill only I think). To kill him easily, all you have to do is just slice and dice him using Dragonar-1 Custom and Falken (Ken and Malliot) and he'll blow up in no time, despite having 48000 HP. **TIP!** If you kill Zero twice (or was it thrice?), you will receive a Haro and a Minovsky Craft at the end of the scenario. This one is easily overlooked. If you killed Zero a second time a small talking event will take place and I think that's the signal that you are successful. The game will not show a crate come out (which is the usual when giving items), but once you finish the scenario, it will tell you that you have received them. SCENARIO 52 Objectives: Win condition: Destroy Zero Lose condition: Dendoh, Nel Aghama or Nadesico C is destroyed Strategies: 1) Make sure you bring out Dragonar-1 Custom and Falken in this scenario because you will need their Twin Laser Sword synchro attack. Bring out your best units, you're in for a long fight. Your mission objective is to destroy the 48000-HP Zero, but he's not difficult... he stays the same as last time. You don't need any special strategies to defeat him now after all you've been through. However, destroy all other enemies first before you destroy Zero. 2) Once you destroy Zero, he will revive (you should be able to expect that by now), and to make it more fun for you, he will summon Bosses of The Spiral City, as in BOSSES, 7 or something to that amount. Like you have defeated one before, it retains the same stats, in 70000 HP, and they are all shocking, electrifying snipers. So do it the conventional way and take them down one by one. They won't be a problem if Falken and Dragonar-1 are around of course. They are all easy, but just watch out that if they snipe you, defend if you think you can't take their hits if your HP is critical or half (their electricity can go critical and could kill if you're not careful). So once you have patiently taken all of them down, focus again on Zero. 3) Once you destroy Zero again, he will of course, revive again (this is getting repetitive). Help is on the way however, as Ouga and Cell Booster Valhalla deploy, and an event will trigger, causing Dendoh and Ouga and install the Phoenix Drive. Altea will take over Ouga, and Hokuto will join Ginga in Dendoh like before. Seeing that you are still up in two feet, Zero will summon a new batch of reinforcements... this time THREE Bosses of The Spiral City, now with 77000 HP each, and accompanied by loads of Knight Errors, Bugs, Viruses and Locks. This time you will need the power of Zeorymer. Use Zeorymer's Meiou Kougeki MAP attack TWICE to destroy all the grunt Knights (because they have a lot of HP, you can't destroy them all in just on shot unlike before, even with "hot blood" cast). Once all of the Knights are gone, you again have to concentrate on killing one Boss of The Spiral City, then kill the other, and the last one, slowly, patiently, one by one. Don't forget that thi s time they have 77000 HP, so they have 7000 HP more and their attacks are somehow stronger. So watch out for your HP! Destroy them all first before destroying Zero, of course. 4) After defeating Zero again, he will again revive (GAAAAAAH) and Vector Up, becoming Vector Zero and an event will trigger, depleting Vector Zero's HP. The volcano-like structure in the map will suddenly be accessible to the basement. Your mission objective will change. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition: Bring Dendoh to the basement Lose condition: Dendoh, Ouga, Cell Booster Valhalla, Nel Aghama or Nadesico C is destroyed Strategies: 1) Once Dendoh goes in, an event will again trigger and finally, the big, bad King Gulfer will show himself. As mentioned, he's BIG, he's BAD, and he's REALLY PISSED OFF. With Dragonar-1 Custom and Falken around, bring them in the basement to support Dendoh... you will need their Twin Laser Sword again. Your mission objective will change yet again. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition: Destroy Zero and King Gulfer IN THE SAME TURN Lose condition: Dendoh, Nel Agahama or Nadesico C is destroyed or if Zero and King Gulfer are NOT destroyed IN THE SAME TURN Strategies: 1) This part will get a bit tricky. Since Zero is infinite and is connected to King Gulfer, you have to destroy both of them to destroy them completely without any more reviving. To do that, you will need to constantly deplete King Gulfer's HP, and of course, Zero's. Since Zero has significantly less HP than King Gulfer, you will need to watch out for Zero's HP before depleting it because King Gulfer takes some time to kill. **BOSS ALERT!** 1) King Gulfer is HUGE, with a HUGE HP of 170000, and a long attack range. not to mention a LOT of heads. After all, he's a Hydra, and we all know that Hydras regenerate their heads if you cut one off. It's the same on why Zero revives himself again and again and is connected to King Gulfer... a Hydra. Anyway, defeating King Gulfer is an easy but grueling task because he has a ton of HP and regenerates HP per turn. You will definitely need patience in defeating him. 2) First of all, transform Dendoh back to its normal form and use its newly acquired weapon, the Akatsuki Blade. Thankfully Dendoh and Ouga can regenerate their EN fully per turn so no need to worry on bringing Cell Booster Valhalla there. Using Ken and Malliot, cast "spirit" and slash away using the Twin Laser Sword. At this point, they should be untouchable by now, or at least can dodge King Gulfer's attack without casting "concentrate". If you have Akito deployed, bring him down there to the basement and attack as well. Don't forget to cast "hot blood" as well. King Gulfer can pack one nasty punch, or bite, for that matter, and can obviously snipe you by breathing fire. Just continuously slash at King Gulfer away, and make sure that Hokuto casts "flash" and Ginga cast "resist" (in case that Dendoh gets hit, this spell will only give Dendoh 10 damage). 3) At the same time, above ground, check on Vector Zero's HP if it's low enough for you to kill. Remember that the terrain around the volcano-like structure regenerates 20% HP and EN per turn, so that means you will have to constantly attack him to keep his HP low. 4) When King Gulfer's HP is low enough to warrant a kill from Dendoh, check if Vector Zero's HP is the same. Save your game, have Dendoh's pilots cast the necessary spells and finally deliver the killing slash of the Akatsuki Blade. Upon killing King Gulfer, Altea yells that you need to kill Vector Zero now while you have the chance now that King Gulfer's down. So do it and kick Vector Zero's ass permanently and send him straight to hell. He won't revive anymore now that King Gulfer's gone with him. You have now ended the scenario, as well as Dendoh's story in the game. SCENARIO 53 **TIP!** Equip good armor on RahXephon and mobility-increasing items on Vermillion before you start the scenario. Objectives: Win condition: Destroy all enemies Lose condition: One of your units is destroyed Strategies: 1) After a grueling scenario, you are given a breather again. It's only RahXephon VS Obbligato and its Dotem companions. The ??? pilot now makes himself known as Mamoru Torigai, Ayato's friend and Hiroko Asahina's love interest. Mamoru wants revenge on Ayato for killing Hiroko (who was the Murian Vibrato that you defeated earlier). Enough of that. When all the Dotems are close to RahXephon, have Ayato cast "iron wall", bring in the middle of the Dotems and kill them all. Later Elphie will deploy in the Vermillion to assisst Ayato, so bring her in to assist in the killing. Give it your all, don't conserve ammo. Kill all Murians in sight. 2) Once you have depleted Obbligato's HP to a certain degree, an event will trigger, and this half of the scenario will end. You will now be brought to Asuka, all alone in her EVA-02. Destroy all Dragoons you see in sight. EVA-02 will now gain its latest attack... the AT Field Attack. Have Asuka cast "lock on" and bring her in to kill each and every one of them in sight without breaking a sweat. Even without the Umbilical Cable, EVA-02's EN will regenerate every turn, so it's like having an S2 Engine on it... but still conserve your EN and use your Progressive Knife on them. 3) Later, with all Dragoons defeated, Seele will unleash their latest horror.... the EVA-05s. They come in groups and have 4500 HP. It's no sweat for Asuka, but however do take note that AT Field Attack sucks up 20 EN per usage, so if you have only 1 EN left, the AT Field will vanish and the EVA-05 can easily make mincemeat out of Asuka with just a few slashes. Don't worry because by now EVA-02's attacks can easily penetrate the AT Field of the EVA-05s, and it will be an easy job to accomplish, with Asuka counting her kills 1 to 9 in German. **IMPORTANT NOTE!** MAKE SURE THAT YOU KILL THE LAST EVA-05 IN YOUR PHASE, NOT DURING THE COMPUTER/ENEMY PHASE. Strategies: 1) Later, with all the EVA-05s defeated, new sets of EVA-05s will appear, and this time, they have 55000 HP, can snipe and are now meaner and stronger. You will be prompted to deploy Magnate Ten, and later an event will trigger and Shinji will appear in EVA-01. The music BGM suddenly plays "Tamashi No Refrain", the title of the scenario. As noted earlier, you should kill the last EVA-05 during your turn and not during the enemy turn. The reason for this is because the EVA-05s will surround Asuka before hand, before you deploy Magnate Ten and Shinji, plus Magnate Ten will deploy directly near Asuka, and that means your party is near the souped-up EVA-05s that surrounded Asuka. Once your party is deployed, the enemy turn has not yet ended. This in turn will give the EVA-05s nearby the first strike. They will attack Asuka, and since they are strong enough now, their attacks will pierce through Asuka's AT Field, and a few slashes will kill her. That's 40000 credits deducted from you, and that's a LOT. With Asuka gone, the remaining EVA-05s who didn't use up their turn will start attacking your party, and will commonly attack those with the lowest HP or something like that. With no party members deploying beside each other, support defense is impossible, and that would mean they can concentrate on one target, killing another unit of yours instantly. Once you deploy your best party, the mission objective will change. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition: Destroy all enemies Lose condition: Nadesico C is destroyed Strategies: 1) The Dragonar trio will automatically deploy, along with Baikanfu. Do not believe what others say that you "may" lose a few units in this battle. If you followed my advice earlier as mentioned above then you won't even worry about it. Anyway, your party will all have 150 morale so there's no more recharging or whatnot. There are around 10 souped-up EVA-05s, so they destroy them one by one. Remember that they can snipe, and they mean business. **BOSS BATTLE!** 1) EVA-05s have an AT Field alright, so you have to keep on using "hot blood" and "spirit" when kicking their anemic asses. Bringing out Malliot will help because D1 is already auto-sortied. This will enable the Twin Laser Sword, and it will help in killing them off easily. Zeorymer will also be a good asset against them. For Baikanfu, using the Unmei Ryoudan Ken should be supported with another attack, because you won't want to waste Rom's Sentotsu skill (the one that activates the Leadership/Split Screen Attack). The same thing goes with Grandizer. Akito's Black Serena will be an asset in this battle as well. Cast "spirit" and attack using the Distortion Attack S to annoy them. Take out the EVA-05s ONE BY ONE, and keep your units beside each other, making sure that brittle units (such as your repair units) are beside units that can support defend, because EVA-05s have the very nasty habit of sniping any unit that can't retaliate (as observed by most sniping enemies in the h istory of SRW games). 2) This is a good time to level Shinji if you haven't. After all the Dragoons and EVA-05s Asuka has killed earlier she would have had a high level already. Use the Unison Kick often and kill one after the other. Both Asuka and Shinji have the "spirit" spell so at 150 morale and fully upgraded weapons, Unison Kick can dish out 18000 damage or so. Remember, it's better to kill off an enemy one by one, than rather damaging everything and killing all at the same time. The less attackers, the better. SCENARIO 54 **TIP!** Make sure your support pilots, especially Reina Stoll and Triple Jim, have learned "SP Recover" by now. Equip a Solar Cell on Raideen to regenerate its EN per turn. Objectives: Win condition: Destroy all enemies other than Shinsei Ayato and Shinsei Quon Lose condition: Raideen, Cerbers Ignite, Nel Aghama or Nadesico C is destroyed Strategies: 1) You will now notice that Rei has fused with Lilith and has become gigantic, much to the horror of Shinji. Ayato and Quon have also turned gigantic and transformed into Shinsei Ayato and Shinsei Quon. The rest are EVA-05s, the souped up versions with 55000 HP. Destroy those EVA-05s as quickly as possible. Dragonar 1 Custom and Falken are required in this scenario if you want to win. Bring out Daimos as well as Zeorymer. Make sure that your repair units are situated beside your motherships due to Bright and Ruri's support defend skills. Like before, EVA-05s have that habit of sniping support units and any unit that can't retaliate or attack back. Use your support characters' "encourage" spell to give 10 morale to your main attackers. Don't conserve any SP if they have SP Regeneration. Cast the spells only 'til it's enough to enable their attacks. Example, Sekiha Love Love Tenkyoken requires 130 morale. Just make sure Domon and Rain reach 130 morale. Don't need to boost it fu rther up to 150 or so. 2) The EVA-05s should be dealt with according to what you did in the previous scenario. Only this time you get handicap: you have to start from 100 morale and build it up as you kill them all. You will need the power of your support pilots (namely Reina and Triple Jim, amongst others) to cast "encourage" on key pilots to give them 10 morale. 3) Later, a 54000 HP Rai No Ohmzack and a 79000 HP Gilgazamune piloted by a Giganos soldier together with General Miwa (of Daimos, not RahXephon) will deploy. Rai No Ohmzack shall be no challege against Zeorymer alone (especially at this point). The Gilgazamune is a different story. Notice that it's the Dorchenoff custom Gilgazamune and not the normal green one. In other words, the Giganos soldier will use a MAP weapon if necessary. 4) Medius will also appear to help you out. Make use of it as much as you can because this will be the last time you could use it. Obbligato will also deploy to attack Shinsei Ayato (which of course, he has absolutely no match to). The mission objective will change. *NEW* Objectives: Win condition: Destroy all enemies other than Shinsei Ayato and Shinsei Quon Lose condition: Raideen, Cerbers Ignite, Medius, Nel Aghama or Nadesico C is destroyed **BOSS ALERT!** 1) Rai No Ohmzack is absolutely easy. In fact just a few Meiou Kougeki blows from Zeorymer and he's down to hell (where he should have been already but somehow managed to survive). Enjoy Rai No Ohmzack's Proton Beam, because it has a cool animation and you get to see it rarely anyway (unless you saved a special save to play the scenario all over again). 2) The 79000 HP Gilgazamune will not hold back despite that it's a Giganos soldier piloting it. Like Dorchenoff, it has developed the habit of using its mini-missile MAP weapons. Other than watch out for its missile attacks, you can easily kill it using D1 and Falken. Give the finishing blow to Daimos. Have Kazuya cast "love" and use the Reppu Sekken Tsuki Kai to split the Gilgazamune into two, and of course, finally killing that idiot General Miwa (who has been a pain in the ass in the Daimos anime for his anti-Bahm personality). 3) Obbligato is now easier to beat. First of all, you can have Shinsei Ayato do all the dirty work and finish him off using your characters. Don't worry on being targetted by Shinsei Ayato, Shinsei Quon or Obbligato. Shinsei Ayato and Shinsei Quon won't attack anyone, and Obbligato will only attack Ayato. You can confidently bring your characters near Obbligato to watch his HP be wittled away by Shinsei Ayato. Once Obbligato's HP goes to around 10000 or around 15000, then you can finish him off quick. Watch the scene afterward and the scenario ends. SCENARIO 55 **TIP!** Make sure Haruka learns the "SP Recover" and "Concentrate" skills. Upgrade ALIEL's mobility and equip good mobility-boosting items on it. Also try to see if you can get EVERYONE to learn "SP Recover". If they can, let them learn it, regardless of whether they are main attackers or supporters. Objectives: Win condition: Destroy all enemies Lose condition: Cerbers Ignite, Nel Aghama or Nadesico C is destroyed Strategies: 1) You have now reached the FINAL CHAPTER of SRWMX. Deploy your best units, and hopefully you followed the tip on Haruka Shitou (Ayato's lover in RahXephon). She has the cheapest "encourage" spell in the game (with the "Concentrate" skill to reduce SP costs to 80%, an "encourage" spell costs only 24 SP). If you do, you can cast "encourage" like crazy to your key attackers. Zeorymer, D1, D3 Falken, Dendoh, Ouga, God Gundam, Rising Gundam, Baikanfu and Black Serena are ABSOLUTE MUSTS in deploying. Medius has evolved into a new monstrous form, without sight of its previous pilots Albero and Eldie. Its pilot is obviously, the AI1 itself. 2) Destroy the incoming Sinistras that will attack you. They have 40000 HP but they are generally not tough. Take the opportunity to build your morale now. Once Zeorymer has reached 140 morale, take Zeorymer DIRECTLY BESIDE MEDIUS. Use the Meiou Kougeki MAP weapon as often as you could, and Zeorymer can easily take out all the Dextras and a couple of Sinistras on its range, leaving just 2 groups of 4 Dextras behind (the ones on top). Do not worry about Zeorymer... by now it has Bunshin and it has a strong armor, barrier and big HP so it will survive. **BOSS BATTLE!** 1) Do take note that Medius can snipe at range 12, and will attack any support unit, or a mothership in its range. Use it as a distraction method. Make sure that D3 is directly beside Haruka's ALIEL. With only 3000 HP, she will prolly have the lowest HP on your party if Reina Stoll's Power Rizer is out of the way. Bait Medius so that it would attack Haruka's ALIEL, and with the help of D3's strong EWAC, it will give Haruka bonus 30% dodge rate, and hopefully, with ALIEL's fully upgraded mobility and even better mobility-increasing items installed, Haruka's dodge rate will be around 26% or less. Use this bait tactic often and you will have no problems during the enemy phase unless one of your units gets heavily damaged and Medius decides to attack it other than ALIEL. If your bait tactic is successful, then just continuously smash Medius using Ken and Malliot as well as Akito and your other main attackers. 2) Once Medius is defeated, its core, the AI1 Core, will show itself, and finally the pilot will show itself... a crazed Eldie. Note that the AI1 Core has 400000 HP, and that's a LOT, plus it has HP recover to make things a lot more fun! Just like last time, the bait tactic that you did with Medius should work with Eldie, so attempt to try it again and see if it works. There are times that she will switch targets and attack Cerbers Ignite, Nadesico C or Nel Aghama, but it's most likely that she'll attack the lowest-HPed unit you have. 3) AI1's pilot, Eldie, has the skill "Counter", so do watch out. During your phase, if you attack, she'll attack first, but it's definitely limited to 8~9 times. Do consider casting "resist" or "flash" whenever you can, unless you are rest assured that her hit rate is 0% even without the aid of spells. When her Counter level goes out, she will lose her ability to Counter temporarily until her next turn and that's your chance to go full offensive. 4) AI1's strongest attack, the All In One, is very "biotic" as AI1 will suck your unit in. A giant Eldie will bombard your unit with the elements and finish it off by blowing a deadly, fiery kiss. Do consider casting lots of "hot blood" and "spirit" spells before attacking, especially in the case of Ken and Malliot. Also do take note that you CAN'T snipe her, because she will retaliate by summoning a group of Mediuses (their first form) and order them to start shooting. 5) Later, after decreasing much of AI1's HP, Shinsei Ayato will arrive, and THANKFULLY YOU CAN CONTROL HIM. Shinsei Ayato will be by record one of the most powerful characters you can ever control in SRW history... and definitely the first you can control with 100000 HP. So don't waste any stuff, and take advantage of this gigantic angel. If you fully upgraded RahXephon's weapons, Shinsei Ayato's strongest song has a power of 7550, and with "hot blood", he can dish out more than 15000 damage with just one initial attack. For extra damage, have your support pilots cast "anticipate" on Shinsei Ayato to recover his SP by 50, and keep casting "awaken" and "hot blood" before attacking. 6) Make use of Rom Stoll and Duke Freed's Sentotsu (Leadership/Split Screen Attack) skill whenever attacking. It would be much better if Shinsei Ayato had the support attack skill. Execute either Baikanfu or Grandizer's most powerful attacks (synchro-attacks, if able) while being supported by Shinsei Ayato for even greater damage. Zeorymer can also be a good alternative if Shinsei Ayato doesn't have the skill. Remember that this is the final scenario so there's no use holding back and conserving your resources. Use them to your fullest advantage. If you followed the earlier advice and Shinsei Ayato kept casting "awaken" and "hot blood" then attacking with his strongest song, you can even possibly take down AI1 in your 2nd turn. -={ CONGRATULATIONS!
