Defeating Dauragon
--------------------
Sion: Use Sion's last attack, the Hurricane Blitz. First, let Dauragon hit
another party member. When he is
busy, use Hurricane Blitz. When he gets up, do it again. Keep repeating this
until you defeat him.
Note: No one can cover from that attack, not even Dauragon.
Sion: Fight Dauragon, and knock him down in some way. Every time he gets up,
repeatedly use Sion's
Floating Mine attack until he is defeated.
Sion: Get Sion's Double-Knuckle attack. At first, back away from the party
and block (R1). Then, get
behind Dauragon. You should be able to get off three hits with the move,
taking away a significant amount
of health. It is possible to fight through all three Dauragon modes and
defeat him overall with over half your
health remaining.
Volt: Use Volt's Lift Up Slam attack. Let your party distract Dauragon, then
use the Lift Up Slam attack.
When he is getting up, use it again and again until he is defeated. Do not
use against a wall or it will not
work -- give him some space if he is against the wall.
Kou: Use Kou's Tiger Frenzy attack. Use this attack non-stop, so that
Dauragon has no chance of attacking
or covering. Note: When he falls, use it the instant that he gets up.
Defeating Kaldea in panther form
---------------------------------
Choose to fight with Sion Barzahd. When you are not moving, press Circle(2)
while not moving with the D-pad.
Defeating most Bosses easily
-----------------------------
Play as Kou. After you have gotten his uppercut attack, wail. If you timed
correctly, you can "juggle" the
enemy in the air several times.
Hint: Kou: Phone conversation:
Take Kou on the first battle against MSFs at Fate. When Kou calls Leann, you
will hear what she says to Kou.
Kaldea: Three deaths
---------------------
Do not use Sion when you get separated or in the ship where you see the
panther.
Do not use Sion when you get separated, but when you see the panther in the
ship use Sion.
Use Sion when you get separated and in the ship when you fight the panther.
Kou: Juggling attack
---------------------
Use Kou's Circular Upper Cut for a continuos juggle. This even works against
the final Boss.
Note: This does not work on robotic opponents.
Sion: Three final stories
------------------------
Song's story: Play with Kou or Volt through the entire game. However, use
Sion when you are going to battle
with Dauragon. Sion will think about his master. Kaldea's story: Do not use
Sion when you get separated.
Use Sion in the ship when you see the panther and in the last battle. Sion
will remember what Kaldea said.
Dominique's story: Use Sion when you get separated, when you see the panther
in the ship, and when fighting
Dauragon to see Dominique's story.
Sion: Juggling attack
---------------------
Use the Double Uppercut to launch your opponent, then use the Hard Jump
attack to finish. This requires very
good timing for the hard jump. Note: This does not work on robotic
opponents.
Card key
-----------
To get the card key, open all three boxes. There is one lunch box on either
side on the seats. Just walk up to it
to open it and move on quickly to the next one. The third box in a briefcase
in the back of the train, the key will
be inside.
Team attack
-------------
Immediately press R2 whenever you hear one of your teammates make a taunt.
Most of the time everyone will
all team up against an enemy. This move will mostly always be blocked by the
final Boss.
Team sacrifices
----------------
Do not worry if any of your CPU controlled partners gets defeated. As long
as you are still standing, they will
return for the next battle.
Easy experience
-----------------
During in any battle, look at the top right of your screen. When one of the
bubbles that represents an enemy is
colored red, go to that person and quickly kill them. You will get the
experience while your partner(s) did all the work.
Bar Fate battle
---------------
The first battle is in Bar Fate, with MSF Agents as your opponents. This is
your introductory fight. Get used to the
play mechanics and earn yourself some experience. It does not really matter
if you win this fight or not -- it is one of
a few that you can actually lose without the game ending. Get a feel for
what chains work best for the Bouncer you
have chosen.
Save health in Rocket Tower
-----------------------------
During the Rocket Tower sequence, if you are low on life or do not think you
can survive all the way through, just run
past the robots or guards. You can still win the level, just without all the
battle points.
Hidden computer
------------------
During the three-way path split, choose Sion. After defeating the two
security guards, watch the intermission sequence
and you will be in a office-like room. Go straight, then left to a door.
Exit this corridor through the door on the immediate
left. Run through the bar and out the door on the other side. Proceed left
if you want to fight a security commander and a
P-101, but it is not necessary. Go down the corridor a little bit, then left
through the door. From there, follow the doors
until you go up a flight of stairs, fight five to six guards with two
P-101's, and see Kaldea the panther. Keep going and you
will end up in a sloppy little computer room. Walk up to it and check out
the information provided on the MSFs, Mugetsu,
Kaldea Orchid, and "Aggelos Anastasius".
Save health in Emergency Exit
------------------------------
During the Emergency Exit level, if you are low on life or do not think you
will live through the guards, you can run past
them and still escape.
Boss battles
------------
On any boss level, if you are not that strong, go for the Boss first. Once
the Boss dies, you will win. Everything is the same
except you do not get all the experience. For example, on the MSD Cargo
Train, if you attack Echidna first and she dies
you will win but you will not get all the possible Battle Points.
Glitch: Jump between floors
----------------------------
In the first fight at Bar Fate, stay on the top floor. When someone taunts,
press R2 to do a Trinity Rush. If the person that
taunted is downstairs, you will attack downstairs. When the Trinity Rush is
over you will be back on the top floor instantly.
