Mission: [5]
Achievements: - Mission 05 cleared (15)
-“Aurora” Explorer (15)
*-Moth Hunter (50) (Best chance for getting Moth Hunter if mission 4 was too difficult)
Get to the Data Pad. Activate it, and clear the Genessa and Sepia on the slopes. Just keep anchoring to each landing. Just watch for falling rocks. There are more Genessa inside the landings too. Blow up the fuel cans, and grab yourself a nice VS Laser Rifle. Keep anchoring up until you reach the top landing. Now you’re ready to go moth hunting.
-To kill the Windega, charge up the Laser Rifle. As it passes, shoot off a wing. Wait for another pas, and get the second one in a clear shot. Finish it off, pat yourself on the pack, and get into the cave. Clear your way through, collecting T-Eng, activate the Data Pad, and move to the Drio fast. Be sure to remove all Genessa in the area to help run-off the amount of Trilid. As you move through you’ll also battle several Raibee. Just be ready to side-step away when they start pulsing blue. The Skalts will launch thorn-like buds at you, so be sure to avoid these, and fire at the bulb of each stalk to prevent further growth of these plants. After you activate the next Data Post, move into the tunnel, and head out of the cave. There is plenty of ammo in the chambers to your left and right, pick these up, and then blow through the wall into the center chamber.
Battle the Queen:
The Queen is just a giant Chryatis. You want to hit the yellow spore on its forehead, but like the Chryatis, taking out its limbs from the yellow joint will weaken it, and actually present you with a clear shot at the head as it takes a second to recover. The Queen will try to freeze you with an icy blow, but it’s a rare attack. Hover when the Queen tries to attack with its front arms. The Queen can also cause small cave-ins in this location, so be careful of falling rocks too. Mostly be careful of when the Queen slams her front arms in several vicious blows. Just keep shooting the limbs off, and weakening it for a headshot. If you need to, grab the VS Rocket Launcher to help. Like the cave before this, you can shoot the orange cones on the caves ceiling to fall down and bomb the Queen with.
Target Marks: Target spells “Aurora”
-R- Before anchoring up to the platform move along the slope and view underneath this first landing. “R” is behind on of the foundation walls.
-R- On the landing above the first, move into the room with e Genessa. “R” is just off to the back of the room
-A- After getting the Laser Rifle, anchor to the next landing, and look behind the wall to your right.
-U- in a small tunnel at the top of the cave, shortly after getting the Drio.
-A- In the bottom of the cave, to the side of the ramp.
-O- After exiting the sloping cave, and into the Queens Hive, “O” is to your right upon entering.
Mission: [ 6 ]
Achievements: - Mission 06 cleared (15)
-“Thunder” Explorer (15)
Activate the Data Post, then move right in, take cover as often as you can, take out the NEVEC soldiers. When you get to the Rockets use them to take out the VS and turntable ahead. Anchor up the next Data post on the balcony. After you snipe out the next NEVEC soldiers with the Plasma Gun, anchor up to the 3rd Data Post. More NEVEC troops ahead, along with a VS. You’ll find a VS Rocket Launcher nearby, be sure to pick it up after sniping the soldiers, and then take out the VS. Move into the building ahead, kill any soldiers, and anchor up the second level. Get over to the downed VS and meet up with your party. Now with your new Ivan; a superior VS made by gale, move into the next facility, and load up on ammo.
Battle Green Eye:
Once Green Eye appears, circle the room for VS ammo, and any T-Eng you can collect. Blast away at the 8 green sacs on his back. You’re best option is to keep face to face with this beast. You can easily move aside as it tries to charge after you, and will have occasionally opportunities to hit its side as it turns around. Dash aside as it continues to charge you. When you’re finished with these 8 sacs, you’ll have to take out the 4 others which will appear on its face. Green Eye will continue shooting icicles from its back. Move aside when Green Eye starts to blow air, because it’s an icy breath attack which will push a wave of snow and ice right at causing massive damage. Likewise when Green Eye pulls up its front legs for a stomping rampage; the fatale blows will push out shockwaves and damage anything in close range. Once the 4 are gone, you have one more, a very large and weak sac will be exposed on its face. Blow this up, and rejoice.
Target Marks: Target spells “Thunder”
-T- Once on the balcony, simply turn and face north. Shoot “A”.
-U- Down the first street before going under the archway, look to your left.
-N- Move up the street, and then look back down after passing the first archway. On the corner of the ledge to your left. (you’ll have to be up the street enough to see over the archway)
-H- Under the second archway to your left.
-D- Move to the blue dumpster in the NEVEC building, and just behind it is “D”.
-E- Once through the door at the end of the hall in the Green Eye facility, turn around, turn on your light, and look above the doorway.
-R- On the ceiling in the Green Eye facility, near the room with VS weapons.
Mission: [7]
Achievements: - Mission 07 cleared (15)
-“Tornado” explorer (15)
Take this part slow. Activate the Data Post. Kill off any NEVEC soldiers you spot and be sure to pick up either a Rifle or Plasma Gun as you’ll want to snipe a clear path ahead of you. Anchor to the next landing, moving along the hill, get to the weapons, and get ready for more action. As you move ahead, be sure to snipe out any VS operators as well. Once you’ve clear enough enemies, blow open the container doors, and get your new X-Seed all ready. Push to the next Data Post, and watch for more X-Seeds or Evax. Eventually Granseed VS will start to appear. You can blow open another container and grab one yourself if you want the balanced weapon calibers. As you progress through the canyon pass, and encounter more Granseed, push right up to the gate marking the familiar snow fields. Activate the nearest data pad and mount up in the Hardballer. As you move across the field, stick to the cliffs on your right. You’ll fun into several Chryatis, and Skatl. While they are of little worry to you, collect as much T-Eng as you can from them to prep the Hardball for a bigger fight. You’ll begin to encounter a several Gorechryatis. Larger and stonger than Chryatis, Gorechryatis will spew out incrediable bombs of T-Eng. Their tail and joints are plated, but still the weakest points. Just tear off the plating by hitting these spots anyways and the Gorechryatis will fall. Their numbers will increase, and you don’t have to fight if the battle becomes too heavy.
Just make it to the NEVEC base in one piece. Inside the base are a few NEVEC soldiers. Remove them and continue down into the base. Be watchful of the Cyclops’s in this fortress. They don’t cause a lot of damage, but if they detect your motion and attack you can become annoying. Just kill them the T-Eng you collect will restore you beyond the damage they inflicted. Use a Turntable to blast them away or if you move in and pick one up, use the Plasma Gun to snipe the Cyclops’s eye. (The eye is its weakest point, and a nice target). Snipe out any remaining Cyclops’s or NEVEC Soldiers. When you’re ready, anchor up the walkway and continue. Blow the door open ahead, and activate the Data Post. Just make sure you collect all your ammo and T-Eng before climbing into the Granseed.
Battle the Cakti:
The Cakti will primarily fire off its Vulcan Laser. While this will cause your VS to pause for a second, it will not inflict serious damage if you get hit a few times. As you are battling Cyclops’s will spawn and fight you as well, but besides being able to kill the easily they should not be a worry, or real focus. Use the 3 boxes on the rooftop to help shield you in this fight. The Cakti will try to use its Rocket launcher, or hover and land on top of you, as you avoid these attacks the boxes will prove excellent cover. Likewise with the Cakti’s tank conversion and Drilling rush. Do everything possible to avoid the drilling charge, if it hits you with these two drill bits when transformed to a tank, it will cause massive damage. After the Cakti drill rushes, or attacks with its hover or rockets it will often pause a second. As you dodge its blows move yourself around it to give it a clear shot to the unprotected hub (the center cockpit of the VS). While the front offers more armor, you can station yourself to it’s rear and inflict greater damage.
Target Marks: Target spells “Tornado”
-T- Behind the red transport container, near the edge of the cliff.
-O- Before the plains, above the red gate.
-A- On the snow fields, sitting at the cliffs edge, to your left. At the furthest possible point of the cliffs tip.
-R- With your flashlight check between the stone columns on the left side of the fortress. (located on right edge of the snow fields)
-N- Moving down the right side of the snow fields, “N” is behind the T-Eng plant at the end of the fields. Use your flashlight.
-D- Once in the fortress, step off the edge of the walkway and into the water. With the wall to your left, looking west, “N” is right in the pool of water. Your flashlight should help here.
-O- Right inside the lower level entranceway to the Crimson Pirate (NEVEC) fortress.
