DAY FIVE - LIBERATION
CHINATOWN: This day actually starts at the main map, so CHOOSE Chinatown. Once there go north and in the second area get a chest to your right containing an armor power-up and a chest to your left which holds a 180HP+ vial. Go north and get the two chests to your left here that contain a weapon power-up and a new gun...then save at the phone if you wish. Go north again and you will see Kunihiko looking into a sewer, speak to him and he'll give you a key. Now get the chest in the upper left that has a 30 bullet clip, and enter the sewer. NOTE: This section is a maze type area and I have given one of the fastest ways through it here that still gets you the good armor (with only ONE out of the way item noted, other than the ones you get ON THE WAY). There are about three other chests that I didn't mention here, and they don't contain much interesting anyway. Still, if you wish to find them...more power to ya. Anyway, in the sewer after you FIRST go in take a left and get the chest for a 15 bullet clip, go left, left again, then north for an upgrade tool. Go south, left (get green potion here), left, south (get great armor in a chest here), south, south, and south. You have now reached an open type area, climb the ladder to your right and go all the way right to get a chest containing a new police stick. Now backtrack and take the way down that you just passed to reach a new area. Here you will see an FMV sequence, then go dowm/right and down the ladder...get the chest here that has an upgrade tool. Now go back up, take the stairway leading up, and enter the door. Here just enter the door on your left and get the chest in the next area with a 30 bullet clip inside (save your game here too). Now click on the console in front of you and choose the top option and the next top option. Do it again but this time...top option, then bottom option (watch FMV). Now click it and just push the first bottom option. Go through the door to your north and you'll see the results of what you did. Go straight to the right and exit through the door there, then go straight up the steps and through the door. Now you are in the subway, so go left and climb the wall. Here get the two chests containing a 180HP+ vial and a weapon power-up. Take the left path up and get the chest containing a 30 bullet clip on the way. You are now on a new boss.
CENTIPEDE BOSS - FIRST FORM 800 HP - FOUR SECTIONS 150 HP EACH - TOTAL 1,400 HP: This boss can be tough if you don't know his strategy, simply because IF his moves hit you...they HURT! His moves include his simple smash in which he brings his head down on you, his poison balls which he fires into the air and lets them land on you for damage AND poisoning, and his lightning bolt in which he swirls around about 45 degrees and lets loose a MAJOR killer bolt at you. The strategy actually makes him pretty easy though! Just stay right at his side towards his tail on his left (his REAL left) side. Just keep moving with his tail, firing, moving with his tail, firing, etc. With this method, the only move he has that is ANY threat is his poison ball attack...and that alone is no big deal. As long as you are towards his hind area and right at his side, he can use the lighting bolt attack where he turns 45 degrees VERY fast, and he'll still miss you barely. This strategy is tried and true...you can't lose if you do it right. After you do about 800 HP damage he explodes into four segments that dance around you and fly into you for big damage. This part is difficult at first because there are NO safety zones! Just concentrate on killing ONE of them very quick so you'll open up a safe zone. Now there is an empty space so try to stay in it and blow the other little bastards away. I can practically PROMISE you that you will need to use your 280HP+ PARASITE ENERGY spell at least once in this part of the battle so don't be afraid to do so. Anyway, annihilate those pesky things and stand victorious in the end.Now, continue north and go to the end of the bridge...search the dead cop and get his key. Now you are instructed to insert DISC TWO...do so. Go back down the bridge and back to where you where...go FAR to the right to find a hidden path and follow it down to enter a subway car. Inside the car, get the three chests that have body armor and two upgrade tools. Now leave the car and take the middle or left path down. Go down again to end up at the save point area...no go down a screen and get the chest containing an armor power-up. Exit the area through the iron gate now that you have the cop's key. At the map it will be dark now so choose the Warehouse or Museum.
WAREHOUSE (optional): This is an optional location, but it also gets you the strongest weapon in the game...your choice. Anyway if you decide to go here there is a cop at the gate who eventually runs off and you can enter...get the chest directly to your right which has a new weapon (this one is not the one that is the best...obviously). Now go north and enter the warehouse. In the first room, get the chest to your left that contains some body armor and exit the area to the north. Here, go down/right and get the key glimmering on the floor. Exit the area through the door in the upper right and in the next area go directly down and enter the door on the left. Here get two chests...one has some body armor, the other has a clip. Go up the steps to the left and go past the save point, up a ladder, and to another chest which has a weapon power-up (now save). Exit the room through the door on the left, go across the straight bridge, and ebter the next door. Here get the three chests which have ywo armor power-ups and an upgrade tool. Now climb down the elevator shaft to the north. Here you will face a boss.
CRAB BOSS - LEFT CLAW 400 HP - RIGHT CLAW 400 HP - BODY 800 HP - TOTAL 1,600 HP: This boss has KILLER attacks, so strategy is a must. He has about four attacks including his regular stab attack where he stabs at you with one of his claws for some damage. Then there is his bubble attack, which hits you once or twice for about 90 HP damage each time. He also has an eyeball laser attack where is eyes pop out of their sockets and let loose two deadly beams. His final attack is also his most dangerous...his claw grab, in which he grabs you with one claw and NAILS you with the other reducing your HP to 1. The tactic on this boss is to stay at his side (much like the CENTIPEDE BOSS). If you are at his side you are completely safe from his bubble attack, and as long as you are at least a little DISTANCED from his side you are free from his stab and claw grab. So the only attack that there is to fear is the deadly eyeball lasers. These are complicated to dodge...as soon as you see the eyes come from the sockets just tear ass in a certain direction and DON'T let up until the lasers disappear. If you succeed good, if not...oh well good luck next time and just heal the damage. While fighting this creature go for his claws first because his body has ultra high defense while the claws exist...kill the claws then go for the body. If you get weak, you'll want to use your 280HP+ PARASITE ENERGY spell. Once you defeat him you get the best weapon in the game (a rocket laucher launcher type weapon...SAVE it for later). Then get the upgrade tool in the upper left hand corner and leave the warehouse the way you came.
MUSEUM: Enter the museum and you'll see a person dressed in white disappear into a door on the left...save your game and pursue him/her. In this room exit down/left and reach a room where you can get a 180HP+ vial in the lower left corner from a chest. Now exit this room by another door and witness the man in white again. Now get the two chests; the one on the left contains a 180HP+ vial, the one on the left has a new gun. The man in white has locked the door he exited through so backtrack to the museum lobby now. Here go north and in the next area click on the machine to your right and choose the bottom choice to get an Instant Revive potion. Now go north again, and in this area go north and left. You will see a huge scorpion (not a boss, don't worry) and a machine...click the machine and select the middle button to get a 15 bullet clip. Now take on the scorpion to clear the way...he looks intimidating, but he's really quite simple. In the next area go north to another area and get the chest here that has a new gun. Go north (don't take the stairs) and once you reach the next area look around and then just leave...as you leave a sequence happens. Now go back from where you can, take the stairs this time, click the machine at the top and choose the second option to get a 30 bullet clip. Now go north and in this area you will see the result of the sequence that just happened. A door has been cleared in the corner so enter it and find yourself at a ladder going up or down. Up is where you want to go, however if you want to go down really quickly there is a chest with an armor power-up waiting for you there. Once you have gone up enter the door and inside click the machine and select the top choice for a 30 bullet clip. Now go south to the next area and south AGAIN (after clicking the bottom choice for a 30 bullet clip at the machine here) to get to the next area. Here take a right and go right again here after getting the chest containing a 400HP+ vial and then follow the hallway to another area. Here just go south to the next section and go through the double doors on the left here, which get locked behind you by someone. In here get the chest with new body armor and then go up to the broken window and choose the top choice which makes Aya climb outside onto the ledge. Walk to the right and you'll be given a choice again, choose the top one to have Aya drop down a floor...then enter the room to your left. Exit this room to the right and then in this area go north. Here there is a Museum shop and inside is a chest holding an armor power-up (you can't see it, but it's there under the canopy). Now go north, and follow this hallway to a large red carpeted area where you must go through the northern door. Go north in this hallway to reach the museum security office where you can SAVE finally! Also in here push the button to the right to turn on the elevators, watch a security camera video of EVE, and get the chest to the left that has a new weapon. Leave the room, go down the hall again, and watch the cool FMV of the T-REX coming to life. Now go left and in this area get the chest containing an Instant Revive potion, then go north. Here get the two chests containing an armor and weapon power-up. Now you are at the area where the destroyed room is (the one above all of the stone heads). Go down the stairs, then down and follow the way back to the museum lobby. In the lobby go up the stairwell and then into the door that is now slightly cracked. Here you see Kunihiko and he gives you a new weapon. A scene takes place (with Daniel kicking some ass) and then Aya gets a key. Now make your way back to the security office to save your game because the boss is close by to there. Once you save it, exit the office, go down the halway, take a left at the red carpet area, go up the stairs, and exit this area by the southern door. Here you will face a boss.
TRICERATOPS BOSS - FIRST FORM 1,000 HP - SECOND FORM 1,050 HP - TOTAL 2,050 HP: This boss isn't too hard despite his relatively high HP. He has moves that absolutely hurt like hell so the key is, of course, dodging them. He hasn't many moves, just a lightning bolt ground attack and his charge which HURTS especially if he does three in a row. The way to beat this guy is simple...just fire at him with your best weapon (other than the rocket, save that) for about two turns then get ready to dodge his charge. At first he will only be doing one charge at a time, but as you weaken him...he'll move up to three. The dodging isn't as easy as it looks, but it can be done. However, when he does three at a time you'll most likely get hit by at least one. Anyway, when you see him about to do it just be right in his line of sight and DART quickly to the side so he goes past you...that's the basic "dodge" on this guy. As for his lightning bolt attack...just get lucky and be in the middle of its circular path, that's all I can say. He shouldn't be too tough for you, and once you've drained 1,000 of his HP his head armor comes off and you can deal even bigger damage per hit AND he doesn't do his charge anymore. He's purely a lighting bolt kinda monster after you destroy his head shell. He runs about on the screen like a little fairy and stops to shoot his lightning...this form is easy beyond belief. So KILL HIM! Afterward you may want to go back and save your game because when you continue downward after the TRICERATOPS boss it's time for ANOTHER boss (but first get the chests containing a 30 bullet clip and a 180HP+ vial).
T-REX BOSS - 2,900 HP: Uhhh...this guy is kind of tough. However, at this point in the game you may have a certain PARASITE ENERGY spell that makes the battle MUCH easier. The spell I'm talking about is the best one in the game (the KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND of PARASITE EVE so to speak...NOT LITERALLY!). Anyway, it causes Aya to transform into an angel like being and she does about 250 HP damage 7 times in a row! I guess you can understand why this would help out a lot... Anyway, if you use that the T-Rex will still be alive so it's time to tell the strategy. This guy has quite a few moves in his arsenal. His basic move is his slash attack, where he just hits you if you're too close. Then there is his main attack in which he is basically a flamethrower and a huge tower of fire from his mouth BATHES the area back and forth. He also has his electric ball attack where he charges up and fires two balls of energy at you (these are EASILY dodged). He has more, but these are his most deadly and most used. Now, the strategy isn't too hard to learn and it is once again a side based strategy. When he is about to blow his fire you must run up to him and choose the correct side of him to stand on...you can tell by his body shift...go to the side farthest from where his body is pointing. You should be able to dodge the fire easily this way...as for the electric balls, just run around and those pathetic things will miss you. He's not so hard after all eh? Just to let you know, I have beaten him WITHOUT using that special PE spell, so don't go and learn it just for this boss if you don't have it. Good luck!After he's dead, exit the area by the hard to find door in the corner and you'll be in the museum lobby again. Take the elevator to the fourth floor and get the chest with an Instant Revive by the gross looking door. Ignore the door and follow the path down the stairs. Here go north, then north again, then follow this path north, then go left, the south and you will be back in the triceratops room. Exit to the south to trigger an FMV sequence. In the next room go THROUGH the broken glass case into a secret room with two chest holding a new weapon and an upgrade tool. Now exit this room by the southern muck covered stairway and in the next area enter the cracked door. Here you will see EVE and a HUGE non-interactive section begins. You can't play it, but you can watch it...and the FMV in these sequences will have you screaming out in glee. We're talking truly AWESOME stuff here. Once it is all overwith...you find yourself on an island of slime...go north to face EVE one last time.
EVE FINAL BATTLE - TOP PORTION 1,800 HP - MID SECTION 1,600 HP - BOTTOM SECTION 2,300HP - TOTAL 6,100 HP - SECOND FORM 2,300 HP - GRAND TOTAL 8,400 HP: This is, in my opinion, the hardest battle in the game. EVE is one tough bitch. By the way, after fighting the T-Rex you should've gained enough levels to have that super PE spell, and you practically MUST have it here unless you are packing a BUNCH of rockets! Yes folks, it's time...time to use the Rocket Launcher. EVE has three parts to her body so the best way to beat her is to use a weapon that hits ALL parts...the R. Launcher is definately that weapon. Anyway, EVE has quite an impressive arsenal of moves on her side. She has two hands in front that shoot fireballs at you. She has two hands in back that go apeshit and fire energy boomerangs at you in QUICK succession! Also, she has a move where her top portion shoots a fast string of energy needles at you. She has a move where she just flies right up to you and bashes you bigtime! She also has several VERY annoying moves where she flies up to you, picks you up, and totally kicks your ass. She has three of these, in one she picks you up and just hits you about four times in a row...ouch! In another she picks you up and hits you less times, but confuses you as well. Then is her worst of all, when she picks you up and drains your HP to 1. Your basic tactic on this chick is to STAY AWAY and pummel her from a distance. Her fireballs are EASY to dodge by running in one solid direction and her energy boomerangs usually won't hit you if you're far away. As for her pick up/kick Aya ass moves...what can I say...just RUN!!! Anyway, once you start the battle IMMEDIATELY use the super PE spell. Then just fire your R. Launcher at her and keep yourself alive until your PE is fully charged again...and use the super spell AGAIN. After this, a few more R. Launcher blasts should do it. Uh oh...the battles not over though...time for EVE's second form. Phew...at least her hard form is history and since this is counted as a new battle your PE meter should be filling pretty quickly. All you have to do is survive her three wimpy attacks. She has a wing slash for close encounters, an earthquake type attack that appears right under you and is fairly unavoidable, and her super attack in which she flies high into the air and fires a HUGE purple beam down on you. All of these attacks (except the earthquake) are easy to avoid, so just stay alive until your PE meter fills and let her have a taste of your super spell. A few more rocket or gun blasts should do it after that. Congratulations, you did it! After a cool FMV it's the end of the day!
