Mission: [3]

Achievements: - Mission 03 cleared (10)

- Worm Hunter (50)

-“Mirage” explorer (10)

There are Genessa and Trilid to your left and right, take them out and then activate the Data Post ahead. If you look for the hidden weapon nearby, you can pick up some useful Disk Grenades. Once you step onto the snow fields, and Undeep will destroy any VS you are operating. So grab some big gun and move out on foot. Look near the Domes for two buried Rocket Launcher. Up near the barricade before the snow fields is a hidden 3^rd. Grab all the ammo from these if you want to get the Worm Hunter medal from taking down the Undeep. Now if you keep close to the edge of the fields, and just run, run and dodge the Undeep, you’ll be able to get across without a battle. If you want some fun, or a medal, walk through, and fight the giant worm then.

-To fight Undeep, you need to blow up each of the 12 thermal spores on its body. There are 6 on the head end, and 6 on the tail end; 3 on each side of each end. If you picked up all the rockets, you should be able to hit these a bit easier, and quicker. Shoot the Undeep just to get its attention first. Don’t move in if it attacks, or tries to swallow you, wait for it to pull back. Use this time to run in close, and at an angle to avoid its bite. While running in you can blast away at the yellow spores. Or throw a Disk Grenade at them to remove them faster. Keep up with this same strategy until you need to take out the spores on the tail end. When you see the tail, sprint away from the bomb-like pellets, it will shoot at you and wait for the tail to stop swinging as much, as it begins to slow its motion you can hit the spores much easier. *Remember you must complete the level to unlock the achievement* Sometimes you’ll get the kill while only taking out a portion of the spores. The field is filled with Undeep, so after killing one, another will appear with full spores, pay not attention to it.

Move on the eastern side of the fields, stay close to the border on your right side, so as to hit each Data Post. Once up to the factory, activate the Data Post and head in. After moving in to check out the interesting new VS’s, a new enemy will jump you.

Battle the Firecracker:

A powerful VS, the Firecracker will emit a cloud of smoke to damage your visibility of the battle. Mounted with a Gatlin Gun, Missiles, and a Plasma Laser you’ll need to play your cards right to get through this. Jump in the Drio and ready up. You can hover to avoid the Plasma Laser’s sweeping attack. Use your Sliding-Dash to avoid the Missiles. And just try not to take much damage from the Gatlin Gun; it’s embarrassing. To help limit the Firecrackers mobility, stay inside the factory. Just avoid the Plasma Laser as much as you can, there are several weapons you can attach within the factory. If you can keep your distance the Rocket launcher should prove useful. Over that I suggest Gatlin Guns, Shotgun, or Laser Rifle.

Target Marks: Target spells “Mirage”

-I- Near the beginning of the level to the left is a small dome like building and Genessa. On top of the structures block extension is “I”

-R- once through the barricade, turn left, and “R” is halfway upon the barricades outer side.

-A- Heading straight from “R” alongside the barricade to the cliffs, turn right, and travel alongside the cliff until you come upon “A”

-E- Moving from the barricade exit, to the right, and up to the first two Data Posts, “E” is sitting right next to the second post.

-M- On the same path from “E” move up the next Data Post. “M” is just behind the structure the Data Post rests on.

-G- Is on top of the pip emitting from the factory at the end of the fields. A challenging hit, but moving around the bard-wire fences should give you a good view of it.

Mission: [4]

Achievements: - Mission 04 cleared (10)

-“Meteor” Explorer (10)

You’ll need to take out the Genessa and Sepia that infest this region. Clear the location, watch out for the Dongo, and then look to the skies for a fight with the Windega. Focus on the Genessa and Sepia first. Go after the Dongo, but ignore the Windega until you have the Dongo beat, and activate the Data Post. (Just be careful of the Windega’s bombardments. (You can try to get “Moth Hunter” For killing the Windega at this point, but it’s very difficult, you’ll have another opportunity in the game.)

Just beyond the hole you’ll need to drop into is a buried rocket launcher, in the small mountain inset. You may fancy it. But I suggest only using it to shoot from the mouth of the hole, rather than dropping in with it.

Welcome to an NEVEC base. Just shoot fish in a barrel, keep yourself suspended until you clear out all Genessa and Sepia. (Remember shoot fuel tanks whenever possible to gather more T-Eng, or destroy large swarms of Akrid such as these.) Exit into the hall and continue. Up ahead you’ll encounter “Mountain Pirates”. Grab the nearest VS shoot anything that moves. Other VS will appear from the firefight you are having with Mountain Pirates. You can wipe it out, or shoot the pilot if wait for it. You’ll encounter a few more, but nothing you can’t handle with your strong arsenal. Now take out the Dongos which rolled in. After you’ve made you stand, activated the Data Post, move through the exit. Lower yourself on the side of the cliff, and be careful of Mountain Pirates, Genessa, Trilid, and most of all the pestering Jellon which will float around the cliffs edge. If they get close, they’ll explode and inflict some surprising damage. Just try to blast a few from a distance.

After you move through the clearing and off the cliff, you’ll find yourself inside another building with a Faze waiting for your use. Use the VS’s Double Jump capabilities to climb the tower, landing by landing. Just try to blast the Jellon and Trilid in the area to keep from taking heavy damage. Although a quick run can get you through rather safe. Once up and out of the tower move to the Data Post.

Dig up this new Faze you’ll find near the Data Post, as it will have a Missile Launcher mounted on. Just be sure to dig up the Laser Rifle beyond the Data Post and switch that with the Gatlin Gun. When you’re done all that’s needed up here, scale the rocks and up the Mountain.

Battle the Raibeon:

Do not confuse the Raibeon with the Windega. You will not unlock the “Moth Hunter” achievement for this battle. Small Raibee will protect the Raibeon in the beginning of the battle, so you’ll have to kill them first. Use the Fazes jump capabilities to avoid the Raibeon’s attack of stinger like projectiles. Side-step the Raibeons bombing attacks, or shoot them as they fly at you and they’ll explode en route. When you see it fly off into the distance be ready to leap and avoid the deadly stinger it will try and impale you with. Make sure you have that Laser Rifle charged, between attacks the Raibeon will pause for a few seconds. Just long enough for you to get it with the Laser Rifle and Missiles as well. 

Target Marks: Target spells “Meteor”

-E- After the hole you drop into in the first section, move to the end of the gorge, and “E” is right ahead of you.

-O- After killing all the Akrid in the dome shaped room and heading out, look to the hallway on your left, and “O” is sitting at the end.

-R- Once in the large factory, and finished killing everything, look to the corner with the two large tanks. Look at that wall and follow it to your left until you see a few crates. “R” is behind the crates.

-M- On a snow peak near the cave, you’ll see “M” not far from the cliff.

-T- Under the top platform of the tower, you’ll just make it out high to the right of the two giant cylinders.

-E- After the tower, stand at the cliffs edge just after the Data Post, you’ll see “E” on the edge of the cliff.
