Game Play
Alright we are back and ready to kick some PSICOM and Corps
booty! Take a moment and check out the Crystarium, level up where you can.
Since Light will be spending a bit of time this chapter as a Ravager, try to
unlock Thundara and Blizard after that Smite in her Commando role. Unlock
Watera and Thundara for Hope then work on Medic then Synergist
If you take the hook near the tunnel entrance you’ll find a
sphere hiding behind some trucks in the area. Alright once in the tunnel grab
the sphere on the left.
Once you get into the big tunnel that Hope was talking about
turn around an pick up a sphere. Ok so this is where things can get a little
funny. There are some spheres around there that can be hard to get. For those
of you like me who have to get them all, I’m going to give instructions. If you
don’t want to get these spheres for whatever reason, just skip ahead.
OK run to the end of the thing and use the what’s it here to
call a who’s it. You got that? No? ok. At the end of the platform use the
device to call the floating detached platform to you. Now ride the sweet ride
that’s really slow to it destination, then get off. Ok after disembarking the
floating disc, activate the thing on the left and get back on the disc. This
will take you to a location with 2 spheres. OK once back to the second dock,
move around the catwalk(I’m too sexy for this guide) to find a set of
Flanitors. These are more annoyance that threat, but the other guy that looks
like a Scalebeast, Lucidon, is a pain. Alternate between Slash and burn and war
and peace to keep your health up and once the stagger gauge hits about 40%
switch to dualcasting to finish the job. This baddie can be Launched once
staggered.
Ok so at the end of the Catwalk there is another dock, activate
the one on the left to be taken to an area with spheres, a Lucidon and a
Flanitor. Get the jump of these baddies to get off to a good start. So collect
your goodies and head back to the second dock again. This time activate the
thing on the right to move on.
Or as was my case just get back on the fly disc.
Move along now pond to the cut scene that awaits you beyond the
Lucidon. Once it’s over keep going down the cat walk, pick up the sphere along
the way and watch a cut scene. Fight or run from the annoying Flanitors and
jump on the dics at the end of the catwalk. Use the save point if you wish and
use the elevator at the end of the catwalk, yeah the catwalk. Watch yet another
cut scene before going up.
We pick up play as Snow. Yay! Thing of all the awesome we can be
now! Sort of if you like Snow’s butt saving kind of awesome. Anyway we get to
finally fight with our Shiva summons! Way to go! WE only got the thing in like
chapter 3! Good grief. Ok so take out the Orion first, then get the small fish.
Ok so short cut scene and then use all that CP in the crystaruim
on Snow! You should be able to completely buy all available crystals for at
lest 2 of his 3 roles, Sentinel, Commando and Ravager. Sentinel has an
accessory slot near the role level crystal. So use the cp you have and work on
the final role as you go. Be sure to create the Dual casting paradigm and
supersolider, then feel free to save and move forward.
Fight your way through a bunch of troops, up the ice path thing
and around the terrace. There is a sphere at the end to pick up. However the
thing is guarded by 2 Corps Pacifix and a PSICOM Warlord. Collect the sphere if
you wish other wise use the blue ring to jump out on to the ice path thing. If
you go to the right after getting off the ice bridge there is a sphere at the
end of the platform, guarded by some guys. Beat them up if you want the sphere
other wise, got to the left and carry on with your trek around the Terrace.
After you jump down into the tunnel there is a sphere behind you. Grab it and
then keep going right down the tunnel.
Use the save point if you wish. Jump down from here into another
tunnel, then watch the cut scene.
Ok now who are we? Someone totally new! It’s Fang! Use the
Crystarium and all that fun stuff. Make sure you have War and Peace and Divide
and Conquer(saboteur and Commando). The big buys for Fang are Launch, Smite and
Adernaline in her commando role and Slowaga and accessory crystal in her
Saboteur role. Use the rest as you see fit. After that fight and be awesome!
Then watch a shocking cut scene.
Ok so now we’re back and Snow and Hope. Cp Crystarium, you know
the drill at this point right? There is a sphere behind you to grab, other wise
save if you wish and move on. Fight or flee as you see fit. There is a tricky
sphere to get here. Just past the first corner there is a little place were you
can jump up on to catwalk, at the end of which is a sphere. Ok so once you get
that jump back down and keep going around. There are several places were you
could avoid a battle however you may want the cp, so it’s up to you which route
you take through the city. By the next save point there is a sphere, use the
save station if you wish, and fight through the barriers.
Keep going till you hit a cut scene. Fight the PSICOM guys that
drop in on you and keep moving toward the markers on the map. Oh look now we’re
on a roof. Use the handy dandy save point, and keep moving forward fighting
your way through the baddies. After you jump down into the tunnel like area
there is a sphere behind where you land. Be careful here there is a ninja falco
Velocycle. As you go around the area there is an off shoot with a sphere. Then
behind the billboards. Head towards the markers on the map, fighting of fleeing
as you see fit,. Grab the sphere on your way, sitting in the open on the right,
watch out for another ninja Falco Velocycle. At the top of the jumps there is
another sphere all the way around, out run the snipers or fight them as you
wish. You might want to use a shroud here to keep yourself hidden or to get the
jump on the baddies as needed. If you can get the jump on the Velocycle and
sniper you stand a good chance of knocking them out before they get you. Keep
going along the rails and metal walk ways to the next save point. There is a
nasty little battle before the save point with a Velocyle and 2 snipers. Do
what you need to take them out and move on. I strongly suggest saving your game
if you haven’t already. You want to make sure that all ability roles are
covered in your Crystarium for both Snow an Hope that this point. It’s
important.
Boss fight
Ushumgal Subjugator
HP: 12600
MA:0
ST:171
Stag:150%
CP:960
This beasties Tail Hammer is a nasty piece of work. It can hit
the party for massive damage. For this reason you never should let either party
memebers heath fall below about half. Other wise you are done for. Use
Supersolider to buff the party to the gills and then switch to slash and burn.
Hit the beastie till the stagger guage is about 1/3 full then shift to
Dualcasting to kick major but and stagger the creature. Heal as needed to stay
alive. Repeat steps 1-3 as needed to complete boss fight.
Once it flies off, and a cut scene and a save prompt later, we
find ourselves and Fang and Light again. Yay!! Ladies!! Anyway use the CP on
them in the Cyrstarium.
Note: You need to take out Orion and Lodestar when you encounter
them, they are the big bads of this area. Remember to use Slow against these
guys and others to keep your party on the winning side.
OK so from the starting point go back, there is a sphere to
plunder. Jump up the funny ladders and then save again if you want. Head
towards and beat the group of Soldiers. Do you know where we are yet? There was
a save point by the Lodestar Behemoth. You can out run the big guy, but he
offers 128 Cp, so he might be worth the fight. Use slow to get the upper hand
heal when needed. If you choose not to fight the big bad beastie that’s fine.
In order to open the sphere on the way to Felix Heights you must
defeat the baddies near by. Head towards the marker on the map, and watch the
cut scene. Afterwards save if you want and keep going along your way. You can
in theory follow Light straight though the baddies to the next save point if
you wish. Take this time to gather any CP you may need and fill your Tp gauge
if needed. There are 2 spheres in the area that you can collect if you wish,
they are at opposite ends of the garden.
Either way save at the save point and get ready for a fight. You
can either fight or boogey past the Behemoth and little dude, totally up to you.
Boss fight
Ushumgal Subjugator (Walking)
HP: 378000
MA:0
ST:171
Stag:250%
CP:960
Ok this is easy enough at first. As Hope use Libra, the stand by
looking cute for your HP to be drained away. The real fight doesn’t start till
Light and Fang walk in. Evened odds is a good paradigm to start with. Let Hope
buff the party while Fang slows down the baddie and let Light heal. If you’re
looking for the fast track then switch to Relentless Assault, healing when
needed. If you want a more sure way for a first time win switch back and forth
between Delta attack and Solidarity. Both of which have Medics in the party. It
can take a bit to stagger the bugger but hit him hard once you do. You may have
to stagger him a few times to beat him.
After the batter you get a cut scene and a nice reward. You got
a Shield Talisman, that grants the wearer protect status at the start of each
battle. Nice right? Equip this one either your partor Hope. Now go up the
stairs and grab the sphere as you go by and meet up with Hope and the gang. Now
watch a cut scene. A very awkward cut scene. Save your game when you have
control again. Use your cp where you can then maybe take a look around the
house. In several rooms you look into you can see the other characters, like
Light standing by as Snow rests and Hope and his father in the living room.
Turn on the tv to continue with the story. But man! That is a big apartment! So
watch the cut scene and get ready for a fight afterwards. Make your way to the
back of the house to find a sphere. There is also a sphere in the corner of the
living room. Ok make your way to the marker on this map, and watch yet another
cut scene.
Boss fight
Havoc Skytank
HP:441000
MA:0
ST:218
Stag:none
CP:1800
First thing here switch to Evened odds and let Hope buff up the
party. Ok once everyone has at least shell and protect, then you can start
taking out the 4 parts of the tank before attacking the main part. As each of
the little parts explode, it knocks a chunk of hp off the tank. Switch between
Delta attack and Solidarity to slowly but surely take this thing out. Towards
the end this mech gets a stagger % of 200. Stagger the tank and take names. For
the fight you get access to a new shop, an expansion in the Crystarium and 1800
CP. Watch the cut scene and save when prompted if you wish.
