We don't do it just because guide writing is fun, you know! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. INTRODUCTION [INTR] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is an FAQ/Walkthrough for Front Mission 1st, titled "Front Mission" for the game's North American release on the Nintendo DS. This guide is meant to be used alongside my beginner's guide on GameFAQs. Only specifics about the game's material will be covered in this guide. Do not send me e-mails about material that is already in the beginner's guide as I will simply delete it. With that said, let's move onto the main attraction! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2. BASICS [BASE] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This will be brief as most of the game's mechanics have been explained in my beginner's guide. You should also consider reading the manual for additional help. This is one of those games that you need to go through the manual first before playing it. If you don't know where my beginner's guide is located, go to GameFAQs.

PAINT SCHEMES ------------- White 0 Green 0/1/2/3/4/5/6 Red 0/1/2 Blue 0/1/2/3/4 Gray 0/1/2/3 Brown 0/1/2/3 Black 0/1/2 Purple 0/1/2/3 Yellow 0/1/2/3 Pink 0/1 Bronze 0/1 Orange 0 While not a major factor for playing the game, feel free to give your wanzers a new paint scheme. That's a part of the fun behind customization and the game in general! SETUP TIPS ---------- 1. Choose parts wisely. While most parts are balanced, there are some that really stand out in terms of overall effectiveness. These are the kind of parts that you should be looking at when making a wanzer. Even if you are creating a specialized Attacker build, having extra Power helps if using better parts. 2. Don't simply buy part upgrades at the Shop. Since part upgrades come on a regular basis, the new parts are generally slightly better than the ones you currently have. Hold off buying parts unless they have noticeable increases in stats. For example, you should wait for the next upgrade if an Arm part only has a 4 HP increase. 3. Buy Leg parts of leg types other than Normal. Normal leg types, for the most part, are rather average in terms of movement. With other leg types, you can get better movement on various terrain and thus achieve better results on the battlefield. Normal leg types, however, are best in terms of traversing between different elevation levels. 4. Stick with multiple hit weaponry when choosing Short and Long weapons. As the damage calculations are static rather than proportional for improving Job class proficiency, it pays to use weapons that hit more than once. Early on, this isn't a big issue as your pilots' proficiencies won't be high. However, once they start to learn Battle Skills, then a weapon that does 8 x 5 can do as much as 75-85 per round at 9999 EXP in a Job class. In contrast, a weapon that outputs 90 x 1 will be capped at 210-220 at 9999 EXP. MISSION TIPS AND TACTICS ------------------------ 1. Adjust to mission conditions when necessary. It pays to know what type of weapons to use or what leg types to equip for greater movement. Never stay with the same setup even if you are overwhelming your enemies. 2. Always carry items. Repair items will never become useless and support items such as Chaff Grenades have uses even later in the game. Even the B.A. Mines has some value on the battlefield. 3. Do not underestimate the usefulness of a Shield. Shields may not seem too useful at first, but they certainly do once enemies begin to hit harder. Have at least one equipped on every unit. 4. O.C.U. scenario only: Make use of the supply truck's features. Restoring destroyed parts and reloading ammo aren't the only features that the supply truck is good for. 5. U.C.S. scenario only: Make use of the Riff Backpack's features. Do not forget that it comes with a built-in repair feature, which will help in cases where your units have no more repair items left. 6. Prioritize unit destruction. Analyze the enemy squads and identify which ones pose the biggest threat. Sending a group of Melee units towards an enemy squad with Missileers are a bad idea. 7. Stay clear of mobile weapons. Mobile weapons have no problems in taking down units within attack range. Until you have eliminated most of the enemies on a mission, don't attack a mobile weapon. 8. O.C.U. scenario only: Stick with a core team for missions. Since missions generally allow up to 11 units to be deployed, have a core team of six units. This way, you can plan out who fights in missions more easily. 9. U.C.S. scenario only: Stay together for missions. You cannot afford to make many mistakes with so few units to use in missions. Attack and move in one group will ensure better survival rates during a mission. 10. Both scenarios: Keep the commander unit alive. While game overs normally occur when all units are destroyed, they will happen if Royd or Kevin are destroyed in battle. ENEMY TIPS AND TACTICS ---------------------- Named Pilots: Named pilots are essentially stronger versions of Commanders. Their Job proficiency in all classes is the highest among the enemy types and they normally have skills equipped. They are the toughest enemy type because of these. Fortunately, named pilots are rarely encountered throughout both scenarios. Treat them as you would with a Commander, but with more caution. Commanders: Commanders are pilots balanced in all Job classes. Commanders are easily identifiable as they pilot stronger units compared to the other enemy types. This enemy type is certainly strong, but they are not significantly more tougher than the other enemy types. Commanders may have skills equipped so do take care when fighting them on the battlefield. Attackers using Melee: This type of Attacker specializes only in the Melee class and uses Melee weapons. Melee Attackers are recognizable as they tend to equip units with high HP and Defense. This enemy type is dangerous if left alone on the battlefield, but they are at a disadvantage due to their Melee usage. Melee Attackers are a lot more dangerous if they have skills though. Attackers using Short: This type of Attacker specializes only in the Short class and uses Short weapons. Short attackers are recognizable as they tend to equip units with high HP and Move. This enemy type is more dangerous than its Melee counterpart due to how Short weapons work, especially if skills are equipped. Short Attackers take priority over Melee Attackers in this regard. Missileers: Missileers are pilots that specialize only in the Long class and use Long weapons. Missileers are recognizable as they tend to equip units with three or more weapons. This enemy type is the most dangerous one outside named pilots and Commanders due to their long-range weaponry. Priority-wise, always concentrate on Missileers first until there are none left. Carriers: Carriers are pilots that specialize only in the Dodge class and use support vehicles. Carriers do not possess much of a threat and since many are in supply trucks, they go down fast. Save this enemy type for last when all other enemies are destroyed. Many of these appear on the O.C.U. scenario but are they rarely encountered in the U.C.S. scenario. Helicopters: Helicopters are pilots that specialize in both the Short and Long class, though moreso with Long. Pilots use helicopters equipped with both Short and Long weapons, though the helicopters have poor durability. Due to this, Helicopters should be lower on the priority list as opposed to an Attacker or Missileer. This enemy type is exclusively on the U.C.S. scenario. Other: Other enemies are generally named ones that do not fall under any enemy type. To identify their enemy type, look at their composition and their proficiency in all Job classes. ****READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE PLAYING**** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mission - mission number and location ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enemies - how many enemy units are in the mission.

See below: Unit type - Total x number MV: Lv: Weapon Loadout: Body - weapon type(weapon name) - range, ammo Arms - Legs - Jobs: Skills: Melee - Short - Long - Dodge - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Difficulty Notes: * - A very easy mission. Basic tactics such as attack, movement, and counters are more than enough to complete these missions. You have to try very hard to actually fail them and I'm being very honest here. ** - An easy mission. Basic tactics still work well, but don't make too many mistakes. You may have to update your loadouts if you experience some trouble in completing the mission. Nonetheless, you can safely breeze through them if you come prepared. *** - An average mission. Missions of this caliber are not that simple to clear and have a number of tough spots. You will have to update your loadouts to the most recent gear that you can purchase at the Shop/Hangar. Basic tactics will work, but you may have to apply advanced tactics to survive. **** - A hard mission. You will not only have to update your loadouts to the most recent gear, but go for the best ones in stock. Equipping items is also recommended to increase your chances of survival. You will need to apply both basic and advanced tactics to clear these missions. ***** - A very hard mission. You need to really go for the best parts when customizing your units and equipping items is mandatory. Apart from applying tactics, you need to plan out your course of action in regards to the enemies and mission conditions. You might need a bit of luck to clear this mission. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shortened Weapon Names: Machine Gun - MG Vulcan - VN Shotgun - SG Flamethrower - FT Rifle - RF Cannon - CN Punch - PC Rod - RD Shield - SD Bazooka - BZ Grenade Launcher - GR Missile Launcher - MS Rocket Launcher - RK ****READ THE ABOVE BEFORE PLAYING**** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3. O.C.U. SCENARIO [OCUS] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Before starting the actual game, the game will ask you if you wish to play the tutorial. If you are new to Front Mission, it would benefit you a lot to play it. After completing the tutorial, you will be able to choose which scenario you want to play. If you are a new player, play this scenario first. If you already have experience with Front Mission or have played this entry through the earlier Super Famicom, WonderSwan Color, or PlayStation versions, then skip to the U.C.S. scenario. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tutorial - Training Grounds ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enemies: 1 Bosses: 1 Units: 1 Allies: 0 Money: 0 Difficulty: * Winning Condition: Pass the qualification test. Losing Condition: Fail the qualification test. Strategy: This is a really simple qualification test and failing doesn't equate into a game over per se. Follow Glen's orders and you will pass the test. First, Glen will ask you to move to a certain square. Use this time to experiment with movement and how different terrains work. Once you move to that square, you will have to fight a Gust next. Attack the enemy once with all three weapons equipped: Zenith Punch, PAP 55, and Bone. Afterwards, finish off the Gust and you will have to fight Glen. While it is optional, try using an item as Glen recommends. Apply what you've learned against Glen to pass the test. Enemy Composition ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Boss - Glen Duval in Zenith/Mad Lecter(Attacker) MV: 15 Lv: 1 Weapon Loadout: Body - 33 MG(Raptor), 1-1 Arms - 24 MG(Raptor), 1-1 Legs - 26 Jobs: Skills: None. Melee - 9 Short - 9 Long - 9 Dodge - 9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Computer AI in Gust - Total 1 MV: 15 Lv: 1 Weapon Loadout: Body - 21 MG(Gust), 1-1 Arms - 16 MG(Gust), 1-1 Legs - 18 Jobs: Skills: None. Melee - 9 Short - 9 Long - 9 Dodge - 9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ After choosing the name and callsign for Royd, watch the opening scenes and you will be in the first mission. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mission 1 - Larcus Factory ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enemies: 4 Bosses: 1 Units: 2 Allies: 2 Money: 0 Difficulty: * Winning Condition: All enemy machines except Driscoll destroyed. Losing Condition: All ally machines destroyed. Strategy: This first mission is relatively simple and you get an ally in the form of the OCU Soldier. Don't bother trying to protect Karen; she is programmed to die at the end of turn two. All you need to do is eliminate the enemy units apart from Driscoll. Don't bother trying to attack him for now...you're not supposed to fight him yet. The game will continue regardless if you win or lose, so take this time to familiarize yourself with the game's features. If you want to gain some EXP, leave the OCU Soldier out of the battle. Enemy Composition ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Boss - Driscoll in Type 11DS Raven(Attacker) MV: 40 Lv: 14 Weapon Loadout: Body - 250 PC(Type 11 Claw B), 99 x 1, 1-1 Arms - 250(L)/110(R) MG(Uranio), 19 x 3, 1-1 Legs - 250 Jobs: Skills: Melee - 32 Stun III Short - 30 Speed I Long - 31 Dodge - 31 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Attacker in Gust - Total 2 MV: 21 Lv: 1 Weapon Loadout: Body - 21 MG(Gust), 1-1 Arms - 16 MG(Gust), 1-1 Legs - 18 Jobs: Skills: None. Melee - 9 Short - 9 Long - 9 Dodge - 9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Missileer in Calm - Total 2 MV: 12 Lv: 1 Weapon Loadout: Body - 24 PC(Calm), 1-1 Arms - 19 PC(Calm), 1-1 Legs - 21 MS(Piz 3), 3-4, 3 ammo Jobs: Skills: None. Melee - 9 Short - 9 Long - 9 Dodge - 9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Allies: Karen Meure in Zora 3A/Danger Lady(Attacker) MV: 15 Lv: 4 Weapon Loadout: Body - 30 MG(Raptor), 1-1 Arms - 24 PC(Zenith), 1-1 Legs - 26 Jobs: Skills: None. Melee - 9 Short - 12 Long - 9 Dodge - 9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OCU Soldier in Zenith(Missileer) MV: 13 Lv: 1 Weapon Loadout: Body - 33 MG(PAP 55), 1-1 Arms - 24 PC(Zenith), 1-1 Legs - 26 MS(MGR-1B), 3-5, 2 ammo Jobs: Skills: Melee - 9 Repair S(Item, 3) Short - 9 Long - 9 Dodge - 9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Once the mission ends, some scenes will play out. When you regain control, an Arena match will commence. The outcome doesn't matter as the game progresses regardless if you win or lose. If you do want to win, use the Piz 3 once or twice and finish the match using the Raptor. After the match, you will meet Colonel Guri B. Olson and he is kind enough to supply you with 1000 to spend. Go to the Shop and upgrade your wanzer before heading to the Military Ward. When ready, go to the Military Ward and say YES to Olson. More scenes will play out and the next mission will commence. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mission 2 - Forest ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enemies: 8 Bosses: 0 Units: 2 Allies: 3 Money: 3000 + 1530 Difficulty: ** Winning Condition: All enemy machines destroyed. Losing Condition: All ally machines destroyed. Strategy: Apart from getting Ryuji back in the fold, you will have assistance from the three new members: Natalie, Keith, and J.J. Start by moving North to help Keith and J.J. destroy all enemies nearby. Once this is done, let the other enemy units get close before attacking them. Save a Missile round for the Commander, who will attack from the Northwest. After destroying the incoming enemy units, go after the last unit camping out to the Western portion of the map.

Melee - 9 Short - 9 Long - 9 Dodge - 9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Allies: Natalie F. Blakewood in Husky Mk.III/Primrose MV: 17 Lv: 1 Weapon Loadout: Body - 39 MG(Siege), 1-1 Arms - 24(L)/22(R) PC(Zora 3A), 1-1 Legs - 24 Jobs: Skills: Melee - 9 Repair S(Item, 3) Short - 9 Long - 9 Dodge - 9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keith Carabell in Galbo/Jerrycan MV: 16 Lv: 1 Weapon Loadout: Body - 42 MG(Raptor), 1-1 Arms - 25(L)/22(R) PC(Zora 3A), 1-1 Legs - 24 MS(Piz 3), 3-4, 3 ammo Jobs: Skills: Melee - 9 Repair S(Item, 3) Short - 9 Long - 9 Dodge - 9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ J.J.(Joynas Jeriaska) in Giza/Hunter MV: 13 Lv: 1 Weapon Loadout: Body - 45 RF(Sieger), 1-1 Arms - 26(L)/25(R) PC(Pabotte), 1-1 Legs - 27 Jobs: Skills: Melee - 9 Repair S(Item, 3) Short - 9 Long - 9 Dodge - 9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Head to New Milgan and upgrade Ryuji, Natalie, Keith, and J.J. with better gear. When you're done, head to the Military Ward and Olson will assign the next mission and do a quick briefing. Exit New Milgan and go to the Crash Site when you're ready. Briefing notes are as follows: Target - Zenith Boss Data - None Normal Units - 9 Boss Units - 0 Supply Trucks - 0 AT - 242 DF - 924 Ace Pilot - Commander Lv. 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mission 3 - Crash Site ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enemies: 9 Bosses: 0 Units: 5 Allies: 1 Money: 1000 (Frederick does not survive), 2000 (Frederick survives) + 1970 Difficulty: *** Winning Condition: All enemy machines destroyed. Losing Condition: All ally machines destroyed. Strategy: This mission has a bit of a twist in that you have to protect Frederick. If Frederick survives the mission, then your military commission bonus will be 2000. If you do not, then it will be only 1000. You will not get a game over if Frederick is destroyed, so don't fret about it too much. If you do want to protect Frederick, you will need to have everyone's wanzers upgraded. Split into two groups: one to coevr Frederick and the other to intercept the plane's cargo to the Southeast. Frederick will begin to retreat once he is attacked. For the group covering him, make sure at least one of them has a Long weapon equipped. Have that unit attack the Commander and Missileer units going for Frederick. For the group heading towards the cargo, they will have to deal with an enemy toting an Egret. Fortunately, the enemy will only fire it once for this mission. Make sure you select Guard for this, which automatically will use any equipped Shields that a unit has. You can defend against it by selecting the Shield itself, but you won't be able to dodge with it. That's all to know about for this mission. Salvaged Items: Calm(Body) Pabotte(Arm) Iguchi Type 5(Rifle) Egret(Rocket Launcher) Enemy Composition ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Commander in Zenith - Total 1 MV: 14 Lv: 2 Weapon Loadout: Body - 33 RF(Iguchi Type 5), 1-1 Arms - 24 PC(Zenith), 1-1 Legs - 26 MS(Piz 3), 3-4, 3 ammo Jobs: Skills: None.

Melee - 9 Short - 9 Long - 9 Dodge - 9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Once the mission is over, Frederick joins as the newest member. Return to New Milgan and stop by the Military Ward. Olson gives out new orders and you can proceed to the next mission. Upgrade Frederick before leaving since he is a liability as long as he uses the weak Tendus. When you're set, leave New Milgan and go to the Huffman Highway. Briefing notes are as follows: Target - Supply Truck Boss Data - None Normal Units - 10 Boss Units - 0 Supply Trucks - 0 AT - 371 DF - 1075 Ace Pilot - Commander Lv. 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mission 4 - Huffman Highway ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enemies: 10 Bosses: 0 Units: 6 Allies: 3 Money: 4000 (0-2 supply trucks survive), 7000 (All supply trucks survive) + 2340 Difficulty: ** Winning Condition: All enemy machines destroyed. Losing Condition: All ally machines destroyed. Strategy: This is another protect mission like the previous one. But, you won't fail if some or all of the Supply Trucks are destroyed. The survival of the Supply Trucks will affect your military commission, so if you want the full 7000, protect them at all costs. The Supply Trucks, fortunately, can take a beating before going down. Move everyone close to the Supply Trucks and stay in the nearby area. Once enemies are within moving distance to attack, feel free to leave the Supply Trucks. Priority should be given to anyone who gets close to a Supply Truck, but concentrate on the Missileers first. When the incoming enemies have been destroyed, finish off any remaining units on the map.

Melee - 9 Short - 9 Long - 9 Dodge - 9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ After the mission is complete, head to Menasa. Make some upgrades and hit the Military Ward for some news updates. Next, go to the Arena for a scene with someone by the name of Meihua. Challenge her to an Arena match and once you win, watch some more scenes. When you're ready to move out, exit Menasa and go to Grey Rock. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mission 5 - Grey Rock Hospital ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enemies: 12 + 1 reinforcement Bosses: 1 Units: 6 + 1 (Meihua) Allies: 1 Money: 3240 (No Driscoll + Supply Truck), 7882 (Driscoll), 312 (Supply Truck) Difficulty: *** Winning Condition: All enemy machines except Driscoll destroyed. Losing Condition: All ally machines destroyed. Strategy: Driscoll, the pilot inside the huge jet-black wanzer from Mission 1, appears again in this mission. Driscoll uses a weaker Arm setup than before, but he is still too strong for you to beat. All you have to do is destroy every other unit except Driscoll to complete the mission. The mission will also end if you destroy all but two enemy units in the mission. You also have assistance from an O.C.U. soldier called Paul. There are no bonuses if he lives or dies, so you don't have to protect Paul. Just make sure that he doesn't destroy the Missileer from the squad he attacks first; the Missileer drops a Piz 8, which doesn't appear until later in the game. Back to the mission at hand, start by destroying everything to the Northwest first. Once that's done, move East and finish up the remaining enemy units. A supply truck reinforcement will appear by the hospital, but don't bother trying to destroy it. The supply truck is programmed to leave if enough enemy units are destroyed, you attack it, or one of your units gets close enough to Driscoll. Don't bother with Driscoll for now...your chance to beat him will arrive later in the game.

Melee - 9 Short - 9 Long - 9 Dodge - 9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Watch a lengthy scene after the mission ends and you will be in Grey Rock when it's all over. Start by going to the Bar to recruit Paul, the soldier from the previous mission. Next, select the Find Meihua option and watch the scene that occurs with Meihua and Hans. Afterwards, head to the Military Ward and the supply truck driver from Mission 4, Peewie, will join. Peewie's supply truck comes with a PAP 55 Machine Gun and the Calor Computer. It can hold it's own against enemies right now, so don't be scared to send Peewie to the front lines. Now, let's scout one more potential recruit for Crows before moving to the next mission. At the Grey Rock Bar, talk to Herbert. Next, exit Grey Rock and return to Menasa. At Menasa, go to the Bar and talk to Alder. Attempt to hire Alder and he challenges you to an Arena match. Beating Alder is rather easy: weaken him with a Rifle round then use a Machine Gun to finish the job. If you emerge as the victor, Alder will join. Change his setup and when you are ready, head to the Forest. Briefing notes are as follows: Target - SAM Launcher Boss Data - Melee 0/Short 0/Long 0/Dodge 45 Normal Units - 11 Boss Units - 3 Supply Trucks - 0 AT - 876 DF - 1944 Ace Pilot - Commander Lv. 6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mission 6 - Forest ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enemies: 14 Bosses: 0 Units: 9 Allies: 0 Money: 0 (No SAM Launchers destroyed by turn 10), 2000 (One SAM Launcher destroyed by turn 10), 4000 (Two SAM Launchers destroyed by turn 10), 5000 (All SAM Launchers destroyed by turn 10) + 4486 Difficulty: *** Winning Condition: All enemy machines destroyed. Losing Condition: All ally machines destroyed. Strategy: This is the first timed mission for this scenario. Basically, you have 10 turns to destroy all three SAM Launchers. You will not fail the mission if you don't manage to destroy the SAM Launchers in time. Rather, you will receive a deduction depending on how many SAM Launchers you were able to destroy in time. If you do not destroy any SAM Launchers in time, you will receive no military commission. If you destroy at least one SAM Launcher, then you will receive some military commission. You will only receive the full 5000 if you manage to destroy all three SAM Launchers in time. The SAM Launchers are guarded by some enemy units and are placed far from each other. The SAM Launchers are best handled by Long specialists due to their clear edge in range and the fact that these units have poor durability. The SAM Launcher farthest to the Northeast has the least amount of resistance so only send one or two units in to that placement. Once the three SAM Launchers are taken care of, finish off the remaining enemy units.

Make sure to upgrade everyone's wanzers with the latest parts and stock up on items. When you're ready, exit Grey Rock and head to the O.C.U. Supply Camp. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mission 7 - O.C.U. Supply Camp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enemies: 6 Bosses: 6 Units: 9 Allies: 0 Money: 2000 + 5010 Difficulty: **** Winning Condition: All enemy machines destroyed. Losing Condition: All ally machines destroyed. Strategy: This is the first tough mission on the O.C.U. scenario. Apart from the six Missileers, you have to deal with the Hell's Wall unit. Each of the six pilots are all in Frost wanzers, which are more stronger than any wanzer you can purchase. They are all capable of inflicting a lot of damage and have no problems in destroying your units. Fortunately, you have the luxury of items and the supply truck...they do not. If you haven't stocked up on items like Repair S or Flash Grenades, expect a tougher fight. Start by attacking Josh and Ghetta to the Northeast first. The other four pilots from Hell's Wall will not act as long as you target these two first. The Missileers, however, will still act and attack once within range. Back to the mission, hit Josh and Ghetta with Flash Grenades to disable them. Follow up with Melee, Short, and Long attacks to bring them down. Focus on Rebus and Milligan next to the Southeast. Same concept applies: use a Flash Grenade and attack while they are disabled. Make sure you throw a few Chaff Grenades on the units that the Hell's Wall squad focuses on. The six Missileers, Rebus, and Milligan will have a field day shooting at you with Missile Launchers. Finally, go after Grieg and Dave last once the others have been dealt with. You likely will have to reload ammo for your Long weapons so do it now before attacking the last two members of Hell's Wall. Of the last two, disable one of Grieg's Arms to prevent him from using Switch. Do it with Long weapons so you can avoid getting a counter from Grieg. Do either that or use a Flash Grenade to disable Grieg temporarily. Whatever you do, stay in one large group and victory will be yours.

Melee - 9 Short - 10 Long - 11 Dodge - 10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ After taking down Hell's Wall, head back to Grey Rock before moving onto the next mission. When you're done preparations, exit Grey Rock and go to Freedom City. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mission 8 - Freedom City ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enemies: 15 Bosses: 1 Units: 9 Allies: 0 Money: 5000 + 5414 Difficulty: *** Winning Condition: All enemy machines destroyed. Losing Condition: All ally machines destroyed. Strategy: This is a fairly tough mission with the introductions of new enemy types. The first one is the introduction of a mobile weapon, the Clinton Type. Mobile weapons are large machines designed to destroy wanzers and they are well armored for enemy attacks. The Clinton Type only has a Machine Gun, but it is more powerful than what you can get and it will destroy units easily. The other notable for the mission is the inclusion of Carriers. While Mission 5 is technically the first one to introduce them, you can now fight supply trucks. Going on with supply trucks, enemies will retreat to them if one of their parts are destroyed. Since the enemy supply truck has the same features as Peewie's supply truck, don't be surprised when enemies come back with their parts restored. To start the mission, split into two groups: one going to the Northeast and another to the Southeast. The one to the Northeast will have to deal with the Clinton Type, which is easier to deal with if you bring a Long specialist to this group. By now, you should be familiar on how to fight enemies so do what you must to destroy them. When it's time to deal with the Clinton Type, use Free Cursor Mode and check out its movement range. Stay at least two squares away from it and have that Long specialist shoot at the mobile weapon. Retreat to safer ground and repeat until the Clinton Type is almost destroyed. When it is, use one of your Short specialists to finish off the mobile weapon.

Melee - 10 Short - 10 Long - 11 Dodge - 10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ At the end of the mission, a scene occurs and Hans will join the Crows. You will also be in Freedom City after the scene ends. At Freedom, go to the Arena and watch a scene with a combatant named Kong. Challenge Kong to an Arena match and use a Short specialist to fight him. If you emerge victorious against Kong, he(Gregorio) will join the Crows as well. To get back on-track with the game, go to the Military Ward. Do the usual before heading out of Freedom City. When ready, head to Lark Valley. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mission 9 - Lark Valley ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enemies: 12 Bosses: 0 Units: 10 Allies: 1 Money: 2500 (Molly does not survive), 5000 (Molly survives) + 4669 Difficulty: ** Winning Condition: All enemy machines destroyed. Losing Condition: All ally machines destroyed. Strategy: This is a pretty straightforward mission, apart from protecting Molly from the enemy forces. Her survival is not crucial to completing the mission, so you won't get a game over if she is destroyed. The Commander is the only threat for the mission. Try to disable one of the Commander's Arms to prevent him from activating Switch. That's it for this mission.

Head back to Freedom City and do the usual. Go to the Military Ward to advance the game and watch some more scenes. When you're ready to go, exit Freedom City and head to the U.C.S. Supply Camp. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mission 10 - U.C.S. Supply Camp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enemies: 15 Bosses: 0 Units: 8 + 3 (Molly, Keith, J.J.) Allies: 0 Money: 5826 Difficulty: ** Winning Condition: All enemy machines destroyed. Losing Condition: All ally machines destroyed. Strategy: Keith and J.J. will become controllable once the mission starts, but Molly is controlled by AI again. You don't need to protect Molly in order to complete this mission, so just let her be. Aside from this, make sure you come with normal leg types. The terrain which you start off in has a lot of elevation differences, so it'll be easier to move around if you have normal leg types. Take out the nearby enemies and the ones hounding Molly, then send everyone to the Southeast to deal the other enemy squads.

Melee - 10 Short - 10 Long - 13 Dodge - 11 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Once the mission is complete, return to Freedom City. Pay Olson a visit at the Military Ward and he will assign the next mission to you. Exit Freedom and go to the Mail River when you're done with preparations. Briefing notes are as follows: Target - Gloster Boss Data - Melee 0/Short 300/Long 0/Dodge 242 Normal Units - 12 Boss Units - 2 Supply Trucks - 1 AT - 1474 DF - 3932 Ace Pilot - Commander Lv. 12 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mission 11 - Mail River Border ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enemies: 13 Bosses: 2 Units: 11 Allies: 0 Money: 10000 + 9490 Difficulty: *** Winning Condition: All enemy machines destroyed. Losing Condition: All ally machines destroyed. Strategy: A scene plays out before the mission starts. The enemy forces on the other side of Mail River are led by two Gloster mobile weapons. The Glosters are armed with strong Machine Guns, which can overwhelm units when Switch is activated. Fortunately, they function more similarly to wanzers so the mobile weapons can be disabled. The enemy composition guarding them are nowhere as dangerous, but there's a lot of them to get rid of. Let the enemies by the bridge move close before attacking them. When they are dealt with, move to the other side by crossing on the bridge or river. As you may have noticed, crossing through the river will be problematic for any leg type that's not a hover. Since you have no hover legs to rely on for the time being, avoid crossing the river and let the enemies come to you. Alternatively, you can cross the bridge to get to the enemies on the other side of the river. Make sure you take down the Glosters with Long weapons. The Glosters can easily destroy any of your units with its Machine Guns.

Melee - 10 Short - 10 Long - 13 Dodge - 11 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Peseta City is your next destination after getting rid of the defenses at the Mail River. By now, you should know what to expect when you're not doing a mission so only important notes will be mentioned. After paying Olson a visit at the Military Ward, watch a fight between two wanzers. Choose to stop the fight and you will fight one of the wanzers. Use Short weapons to end it quick and the pilots, Bobby and Porunga, will join. You only have one shot to recruit them and it would be a good idea to save before visiting Olson. After you're done with the usual tasks, exit Peseta City and go to the Besque River Bridge. Briefing notes are as follows: Target - Train Boss Data - None Normal Units - 10 Boss Units - 0 Supply Trucks - 0 AT - 800 DF - 3048 Ace Pilot - Commander Lv. 15 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mission 12 - Besque River Bridge ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enemies: 10 Bosses: 0 Units: 8 Allies: 0 Money: 20000 + 5420 Difficulty: ** Winning Condition: All enemy machines destroyed. Losing Condition: All ally machines destroyed. Strategy: The mission is somewhat timed in the sense that the Priss bomb will explode after eight turns have passed. This only affects the train, but this also means that you won't be able to salvage the items stored in the train cars. If you want those items, you'll need to move fast to procure them. Use Legs with high Move ratings and be ready to start taking down enemies blocking the passage to the train cars. Two items are located on the North side of the cars while three are located on the South side. To be more specific about the item locations, each car consists of three squares. The initial enemy units that appear out of the cars more or less reveals the location of four items. The fifth one is on the same location the enemy from the center train car appears, but on the opposite side. Anyways, here is a quick picture: x x N [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] x x x S N - North side S - South side x - items On a final note, stay as far away from the train when you receive the warning that the third explosion will occur on the next turn. All units near the train will take damage, so you don't want to be caught in the explosion. Aside from this, the enemy units are fairly ho-hum. Take them out however way you see fit.

Do the usual and don't forget to pay Olson a visit. When you're ready to move on, exit Beltchka and head to the Parunta Desert. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mission 13 - Parunta Desert ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enemies: 9 Bosses: 0 Units: 5 Allies: 0 Money: 3000 + 10125 Difficulty: ** Winning Condition: All enemy machines destroyed. Losing Condition: All ally machines destroyed. Strategy: Since the entire mission takes place in desert terrain, equip Legs of the treads type before starting. This makes it much easier to move and reach a target in the desert. This one features a special type of wanzer called the Sand Vapor. The Sand Vapors use special equipment that you cannot procure in the game. In addition, the Missileer ones are toting Ragos, a weapon that you won't get until the end of the game. Make sure you throw a Flash Grenade on them, or a Chaff Grenade on your units so they won't destroy you. The Sand Vapors take a while to go down, so concentrate your fire until they are destroyed. For the most part, they don't even counter when you attack them! Salvaged Items: Gloster(Mobile Weapon) - From the starting point, look directly at the top of the map. By the Northeast border, there are two squares on the highest level of the area where there is a triangle formation of three rocks. Go to the square in-between the three rocks. To make it easy, this square is the one closest to the Northeast end of the map and is on Desert terrain.

Losing Condition: All ally machines destroyed. Strategy: At the start of the mission, Meihua and the U.C.S. deserter will be moving towards each other. That means you have to protect both of them from enemy attacks. Fortunately, most enemies do not start attacking until turn three arrives or a unit is within attack range. On the fourth turn, Mehiua becomes controllable but the U.C.S. deserter, Yeehin, remains AI-controlled. Split into two groups to handle the squads to the South and East. Protecting Yeehin is not a difficult task at all but try to keep Missileers away from him. His survival is not mandatory in order to complete the mission, so it's not game over if he dies.

Forward Base and go to the Morgan Fortress. The briefing notes from the mission before are as follows: Target - Long Force Cannon Boss Data - Melee 0/Short 0/Long 750/Dodge 264 Normal Units - 12 Boss Units - 3 Supply Trucks - 0 AT - 2574 DF - 4735 Ace Pilot - Kirkland Lv. 20 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mission 15 - Morgan Fortress ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enemies: 18 Bosses: 1 Units: 9 Allies: 0 Money: 20000 + 14328 Difficulty: **** Winning Condition: All enemy machines destroyed. Losing Condition: All ally machines destroyed. Strategy: The Morgan Fortress is heavily defended by numerous enemies and defense guns. There are also three special wanzers, the Type 90, to deal with in addition to the other enemies. The main target are the Long Force cannons, but the mission ends only when all enemies have been destroyed. Either way, you have your work cut out and completing the mission won't be easy. To start things off, split into two groups: one attacking from the West and the other from the East. The West group will have the most to deal with since Kirkland and the Type 90 trio are located on that side. For the East group, they have weaker enemies in exchange for dealing with two Long Force cannons and Defense Guns. Whatever you do, make sure everyone has a Shield equipped. The Long Force cannons do roughly 100 for each round and the weaker Defense Guns hit for roughly 80 per round. The Long Force cannons, however, cannot fire from five squares and below. The Defense Guns can fire from such distances though. To deal with them without much of a hassle, use Long weapons against them. You don't want to risk getting a part blown off at close range. For the West group, they get a Long Force cannon apart from Kirkland and the Type 90 trio. Treat the Type 90s as if they were the Hell's Wall unit: hit them with Flash Grenades before attacking. Kirkland is less dangerous than the Type 90s, but don't take him lightly. To make life easier for the West group, send Peewie along for the ride. Pace yourself well and you will get out of this mission alive.

This one is similar to the Clinton Type and Gloster encountered before, but it has more HP and a better Machine Gun. Grieg is backed up by plenty of wanzers, most of which happen to be those pesky Missileers. Be sure to have some Chaff Grenades equipped to deal with them. Play around with the wanzers and when they're taken care of, send Grieg back to the Hell's Wall where he came from with Long weapons.

This mission is relatively simple with the except of Gentz. Gentz is slightly tougher than your average unit, but he isn't dangerous even with Stun.

The enemy units will retreat to the Northwest portion of the map, only attacking if someone is within range. Take out the ones starting farthest to the South and mop up the rest if the enemies to the North. Salvaged Items: Ziege(Rifle) - Only if this was not procured in Mission 15.

Driscoll completely overwhelms every enemy and unless you need more EXP, you can relax and let him take all of the kills. If you want to train your weaker pilots, this is another good mission to train them in. Driscoll will go straight for Gentz and only attacks any enemy along the way.

Losing Condition: All ally machines destroyed. Strategy: Before starting this mission, make sure that everyone you plan on using has normal leg types. This mission becomes impossible to complete if you do not have those leg types equipped. Moving down the mountain will be a huge issue due to the high number of Missileers present. Bring Shields and plenty of Chaff Grenades to deal with this threat. Gentz is unchanged from before, but do watch out for the Algem. It's basically a stronger version of the Gloster and obviously has more durability. Finally, you get to fight Frederick and he is at the same state and equipment as he did when he left the Crows. Destroying Frederick is optional and the amount of money he gives out is based on his equipment and weapons. Aside from these notables, keep your units protected from the Missileers and you will get out of this mission alive.

Afterwards, head back to Soleit and pay Olson a visit at the Military Ward. Exit the Military Ward for a scene with Natalie. Natalie, Keith, and J.J. will temporarily leave after the scene ends. If you didn't notice it by now, Frederick has rejoined the Crows and can be useable again in battle. Try to leave Soleit for another scene and then you will be at the Bar when you regain control. Peewie will also upgrade to a stronger supply truck, now equipped with the Artassaut SP Machine Gun. When ready, head to the Nirvana Institute Facilities. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mission 23 - Nirvana Institute Facilities ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enemies: 12 Bosses: 1 Units: 11 Allies: 1 Money: 12357 (No Driscoll), 15848 (Driscoll) Difficulty: *** (**** with Driscoll) Winning Condition: All enemy machines except Driscoll destroyed or Driscoll destroyed. Losing Condition: All ally machines destroyed. Strategy: Finally, after plenty of missions waiting, you now have a chance to defeat Driscoll and exact sweet revenge! For the mission, you can end it by either destroying Driscoll or everyone else except him. Apart from Driscoll, the Type 67Cs with Thunderbolt and Wildgoose are the only ones that pose a threat in the mission. For EXP and money purposes, destroy all but one of the other enemies before attacking Driscoll. Driscoll will move to the South end of the factory and stay there, so you won't have to worry about him attacking you. When you're ready to go after Driscoll, shoot off his Right Arm first. Most of the damage comes from his Uranio as opposed to the Raven Claw. Once it is taken out of the equation, destroy his Left Arm next. When Driscoll is fully disabled, you can take him down easily. Destroying any of the Raven's parts nets over 1000 EXP, for a grand total of over 4000 EXP if it is completely destroyed. Thus, fully destroying Driscoll's Raven is highly recommended to get the most out of this mission. On a final note, Gentz joins the battle as the final member of the crew. As he is the last to join you, Gentz will need some catching up to do. If you want him to be of any use in future missions, use him to destroy the Raven.

Unlike the last mission, you must destroy all enemies including Driscoll. Fortunately, Driscoll uses a Cannon Arm setup and it's a lot weaker than his other two Arm setups. However, those Cannons can deal a ton of damage if you don't destroy them. You don't get a lot of EXP for destroying his new Arms, but the Body and Legs still give over 1000 once destroyed. Destroy the other enemies in any way you see fit before concentrating on the Raven. Disable both of its Arms then have fun finishing it off!

That leaves Olson by himself. However, he has two Banyan mobile weapons backing him up. The first thing to do is to join up with our three friends up to the North. Once this is done, take down Olson, the Banyans, and the rest of his merry crew. The Banyans are much less dangerous than Driscoll and his Raven, but they do have some nasty weapons equipped. As always with a mobile weapon, Long weapons work best against them.

Split into two groups: one for the enemies to the North and the other for the ones to the South. Once you have destroyed five enemies, Willas decides to help you out and will destroy the nearby Armored Car if you haven't done it already. When this occurs, all of the enemies will go straight for Willas. Keeping him alive is no problem if you cleared out the enemies to the South beforehand. It's not game over if Willas is destroyed, so you can forget about him if you want. Olson uses the same Eldos build as last time, so trashing him shouldn't be a problem. Salvaged Items: Blizzaia 2(Arm) Korl II(Arm) - From the initial starting point, look at the warehouse to the Northwest. When at the warehouse, hug the East wall and move North.

Oh well, Ryuji needs help fast so send some units towards his direction. The Algem appears once again and this one has Switch III. Unless you have a death wish, make it top priority to disable one of its Arms using Long weapons. By now, your units should have no problem destroying enemies and even mobile weapons easily. Watch out for the other Commander in the Valiant since it has Switch III as well. Once both threats have been dealt with, mop up whatever is left of the enemy forces. Salvaged Items: Banyan(Mobile Weapon) - From the initial starting point, look at the enemy squad by the Northeast. By Northeast border of the map, there are two boxes joined together and a third box next to it. Move to the square in-between the three boxes.

They are basically stronger Banyans with the Long Force equipped. Nothing too dangerous by now, but the Innovas are still the strongest units apart from the Commander in the Valiant. You will need normal leg types in order to reach the enemies on higher elevation, so do equip those before you sortie. That's about it for this mission. Salvaged Items: Gavel(Mobile Weapon) - On the highest level of the area, look towards the Northwest border of the map. There is a small iron-plated platform to the end of the Northwest passage on the highest level. Move to the square at the North edge of that platform. Normal leg types are needed to acquire this.

Losing Condition: All ally machines destroyed. Strategy: For a final mission, this is really too easy. You get to deploy every single member of the Crows and will easily win through sheer numbers alone. For this final mission, you have to deal with three boss units. The first one is Koichi's Growning, a heavily armored beast like the Raven armed with powerful Machine Gun Arms. And like the Raven, the Growning drops over 1000 EXP for each part destroyed. The second is a giant monster-like Mir Orlen...piloted by Driscoll. Attack him once to learn how he got hooked up to the Mir Orlen. Beating this mission only requires that you destroy Driscoll. You don't need to take out the other enemy units along the way. As for the Mir Orlen itself, this giant machine has the highest HP and Defense of any unit in the entire game. Its Machine Gun is extremely deadly and can shred your units in just one attack, even at full HP. It gains 999 EXP for Short with each attack as well. If that's not bad enough, this unit can't be affected by support items or the Stun skill. However, it has one flaw - it can only attack things from Melee and Short range. A pretty laughable final boss really... In any case, once you destroy the Mir Orlen, Driscoll will appear in his old Raven unit afterwards. If you didn't destroy Koichi at this point, then some dialogue will occur and end with Driscoll destroying Koichi. You can still see this dialogue if you destroy Koichi before going after the Mir Orlen. As for the Raven, it now uses the stronger Mostro 3 SZ Machine Gun.

The Weapons Depot will become accessible just North of the O.C.U. Supply Base where Mission 7 takes place. Enemies: 9 Bosses: 1 Units: 9 Allies: 2 Money: 2780 (No Gina), 462 (Gina) Difficulty: ** Winning Condition: All enemy machines destroyed. Losing Condition: All ally machines destroyed. Strategy: This is a pretty simple mission. The U.C.S. sniper, Gina, will retreat from the battle the moment that an enemy has been destroyed or if she is attacked directly. Due to her placement, it is nearly impossible to destroy her in time before she retreats. With that aside, the enemies will be attacking the two surviving ally units. As the enemy units will not concentrate on your units while the ally units are alive, you should have no problem in destroying the enemy forces.

At Freedom, go to the Bar and talk to Bart twice. The Mail River Dam will become accessible North from Freedom City. Enemies: 4 + 15 reinforcements Bosses: 0 Units: 11 Allies: 1 Money: 7570 Difficulty: *** Winning Condition: All enemy machines destroyed. Losing Condition: All ally machines or dam destroyed. Strategy: Don't be fooled by the small amount of enemies there are during the mission: three reinforcement waves will appear once a certain amount of enemies have been destroyed. The first one occurs when two enemies are destroyed. The second wave occurs when five enemies are destroyed. The third and final wave occurs when nine enemies are destroyed. You have to protect the dam from all of these enemies. The easiest way around this mission is to have everyone positioned around the dam and destroy all incoming enemies when they are within striking distance.

After Olson assigns the next mission, exit and re-enter the Military Ward. Upon exiting the Military Ward, watch the scene with Glen. A new location near Fort Monus will become accessible slightly to the East of it. Enemies: 18 Bosses: 0 Units: 11 Allies: 1 Money: 18170 Difficulty: *** Winning Condition: All enemy machines destroyed. Losing Condition: All ally machines destroyed. Strategy: For reasons I will not explain, Glen is invincible against all attacks. Not a single one of them will connect no matter how many times he gets attacked. Glen unfortunately can't do too much with his Winee Rifle against the enemy units here. Once you eliminate six enemies, Glen leaves the battlefield. The enemy units here are quite strong and can deal a lot of damage in a hurry. Concentrate on the enemy forces one at a time to minimize damage and this mission will be over soon enough. Toss some Chaff Grenades here and there to deal with the Missileers. Oh yeah, the Zenith that Glen pilots is not the Zenith V. To find out what model it is and why Glen is able to dodge everything, play Front Mission 5: Scars of the War...

Losing Condition: All ally machines destroyed. Strategy: You will watch a lengthy flashback from Royd's past before the mission begins. The mission isn't too hard to begin with, but you have to deal with a Buren mobile weapon. This one is very durable and will take a while to wear down due to its combination of high HP and Defense. Fortunately, its weapon loadout is rather weak apart from the Donkey DX. Start the mission by taking out its allies first. When it's all alone, attack it. A second Buren with more wanzers will appear to the Northeast. Just stay in the area and let the enemy units come to you to make life easier in completing this mission.

U.C.S. SCENARIO [UCSS] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ After choosing the name and callsign for Kevin, watch the opening scenes and you will be in the first mission. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mission 1 - Supply Point ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enemies: 2 + 4 reinforcements Bosses: 1 Units: 3 Allies: 3 Difficulty: ***** Money: 2000 + 1395 Winning Condition: All enemy machines destroyed. Losing Condition: All ally machines destroyed. Strategy: While the first part of the mission is easy, the second part is not. For the first part, you have to deal with Gust units. Until Matthew finishes his job, stay away from the Gusts. Four more of them will appear at the start of the second turn. At the end of the Player Phase on the third turn, night vision will take effect. Under night vision, enemies do not attack you unless you happen to be standing a square away from them. Do not use any Repair items during the first part of the mission. After all of the Gusts are destroyed, several scenes will occur. Once you regain control, you must fight the Prototype Clinton. If you have already completed the O.C.U. scenario, you know how dangerous mobile weapons can be. The only issue here is that your Calm units have pitiful durability and will not last long against the Prototype Clinton's attacks. Have Kevin and Matthew use Piz 3 before attacking up close. Try to get the mobile weapon to focus on Johnny in the meantime. While fighting the mobile weapon, use Repairs after every attack. Prioritize the Body and Arms first since the Prototype Clinton will engage you at close range once it's out of Missile ammo. Never attack the mobile weapon on your Player Phase; only attack it from up close during the Enemy Phase. This gives your units a better chance at survival. Don't be frustated if you are having difficulty with the Prototype Clinton. The U.C.S. scenario isn't going to hold your hand unlike the O.C.U. scenario. After five turns have passed, Maria and the Alpha team arrive as backup. If the Prototype Clinton is still standing, let them handle the mobile weapon. Maria alone can easily finish it off without much of a hassle. You will be robbed of a large EXP boost if you don't kill the Prototype Clinton though. Nonetheless, it's better than having to restart the game if the mobile weapon does destroy you.

After watching scenes with Maria, return to Room B and choose Rest to move on. On the next day, you can now access the Hangar for some much-needed upgrades. I highly recommend upgrading the Body and Arm parts for Kevin, Johnny, and Matthew. Buy Repair S items as well while you're at the Hangar. Weapons are of little concern since the damage difference isn't noticeable. When you're ready to go, depart from the Santa Barbara and go to the Andes Mountains. At the Andes Mountains, save your game and select GO to begin the next mission. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mission 2 - Star of Freedom Headquarters ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enemies: 10 Bosses: 0 Units: 3 Allies: 0 Difficulty: ***** Money: 3000 + 4040 Winning Condition: All enemy machines destroyed. Losing Condition: All ally machines destroyed. Strategy: While no mobile weapons appear in the mission, you will have to deal with plenty of base defenses around the battlefield. The 20mm AAC and Twin Force cannons, your main threats, are strong enough to blow off parts in a single round. If you are still using Calm parts, don't expect to survive rounds from those cannons. Start by destroying the 20mm AAC to the North and then blow up the Outpost to the East. Go after the other 20mm AAC next once the Outpost has been taken out of the equation. With those three defenses out of the way, move South and restore any damage taken with Repair S. Allow the Light Tanks and Gusts to move close before you attack them. Try your best to spread the damage evenly, preferrably towards Johnny and Matthew. If Kevin goes, it's game over obviously. When they are out of the way, destroy the remaining Twin Force cannons. Move as close as possible and take them down from close range. If Johnny and Matthew are on death's door, position them up close to one of the Twin Force cannons. Have Kevin finish off the Twin Force cannons in this case. You will certainly need some luck in surviving enemy attacks to clear this mission. If the situation is not looking in your favor, feel free to try again.

When you regain control, head to the Hangar and check out the new upgrades. Fully upgrade Kevin and restock him with Repair S items if you used them out in the previous mission. When you're ready to go, exit the Nirvana Institute and stop by at Fort Monus. If you want to access the Arena, you can do so now. If you want to continue on with the game, head to the Mail River. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mission 3 - Mail River Border ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enemies: 6 Bosses: 3 Units: 1 + 2 (Johnny, Matthew) Allies: 1 Money: 1000 + 3465 Difficulty: *** Winning Condition: All enemy machines destroyed or the jeep escapes. Losing Condition: All ally machines or jeep destroyed. Strategy: This is the first protect mission for the U.C.S. scenario, and a mission that is noticeably less difficult than the last two. You will start off with Kevin alone. Johnny and Matthew will arrive on the scene at the start of the fourth turn. Until then, attack the Helicopters that try to attack the Jeep. One of them will be shot down by Johnny and Matthew when they arrive. Deal with the Helicopters and mop up the Light Tanks next. Kevin should have no problem surviving hits if you fully upgraded him. Once all enemies are destroyed, you have to deal with three named pilots. If you already went through the O.C.U. scenario, it's Royd, Ryuji, and Karen. Alone, they aren't that big of a threat. As a team, they are dangerous and can do a lot of damage. Fortunately, you don't need to take them out to clear the mission. Once the Jeep escapes, the mission is over. Still, it doesn't hurt to try and destroy one of wanzers while the Jeep hasn't retreated from the battlefield.

Losing Condition: All ally machines destroyed or prototype machines escape. Strategy: The only objective for this mission is to disable the Type 90X units before they escape. To disable one, all you need to do is destroy the Arms and Legs. Despite their low current HP, the Type 90X are heavily armored and will take a while to wear down. Engaging them up close is suicidal due to how powerful their Punch is. Stick with Long weapons to disable them. There are also four ally units here, but they won't last long against a Type 90X Punch. Once the prototypes begin moving, they will move again on every other turn. For safety reasons, attack the Type 90X farther to the South first. That one only needs to move a few times before it escapes. If one of them escapes, it is game over for you. If you need an extra 2000, disable the prototypes as opposed to destroying them. You'll need a bit of luck to do this, so don't worry if you end up destroying the prototypes.

Some more scenes will play out and Driscoll will give you orders to head to Fort Monus. Listen to some motivational speakers upon arriving to Fort Monus and go to the Command Room. Speak with Colonel Stewart and upon receiving your next mission assignment, head to the Peseta Forward Base. At Peseta Forward Base, Halle and Howard join the crew. After Kevin briefs both of them about the mission assignment, upgrade Halle and Howard's rigs. Once preparations are done, exit Peseta Forward Base and go to the O.C.U. Radar Base. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mission 5 - O.C.U. Radar Base ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enemies: 13 Bosses: 0 Units: 5 Allies: 0 Money: 1000 (Enemy sends alert message), 2000 (Enemy does not send alert message) + 4772 Difficulty: ** Winning Condition: All enemy machines or radar dome destroyed. Losing Condition: All ally machines destroyed. Strategy: You have two choices for getting through this one: go straight for the Radar Dome or destroy all enemies. The Radar Dome is to the North end of the map and only a few enemy units are guarding it. If you want to get this over with quickly, destroy anything along the way to the Radar Dome. If you're not the type to leave enemies alive, go after the Light Tanks stationed at the East end of the map. If you do not complete this mission within 11 turns, the enemy will send a message to their allies alerting them of your presence. This will result in more enemies appearing in a future mission, so make sure you get things done quickly if you don't want to see them. You only get 1000 for your military commission if you beat the mission in this case as well. So if you want the 2000, clear the mission within the given time period.

Losing Condition: All ally machines destroyed or SAM vehicles escape. Strategy: The goal here is to destroy all of the SAM Launchers before they retreat from the area of operations. A few Light Tanks guard the way to the SAM Launchers. New to the fold are the M.B.T. units, which are heavily armored tanks. A shot from its Smasher does a lot of damage, but guarding with a Shield can mitigate the damage. Destroy one of them and move onto the SAM Launchers. Once six turns have passed, the SAM Launchers will begin to move out. You must destroy at least one SAM Launcher in order to complete the mission. Destroying all of them will net you a 3000 military commission bonus, so don't let them escape!

Losing Condition: All ally machines destroyed. Strategy: Taking a break from the whole issue of destroying certain enemy units, this one is about protecting supply trucks. The supply trucks leave a few turns after the mission starts, but it doesn't hurt to take out any enemies close by. Shoot down the Helicopters first then concentrate on the Light Tanks. The wanzers can go last since they are the farthest away from the supply trucks. Two reinforcement waves will appear later in the mission: one on turn six and the other on turn eight. The mission will end after ten turns have passed, so if you want the 3000 bonus, you'll have to destroy all enemies before then.

When you regain control, choose Rest at the Barracks. On the next day, head to the Command Room to get the new mission assignment from Stewart and return to the Barracks. After a quick briefing, get ready for the next mission. Once preparations are complete, exit Freedom Forward Base and go to Freedom City. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mission 8 - Freedom City ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enemies: 13 (16 if the enemy sent alert message in Mission 5) Bosses: 0 Units: 5 Allies: 6 Money: 4000 + 5372 (13 enemies), 6482 (16 enemies) Difficulty: * Winning Condition: All enemy machines destroyed. Losing Condition: All ally machines or Grieg destroyed. Strategy: If you've experienced Hell's Wall on the O.C.U. scenario, you'll enjoy being able to have them as allies. All six of them alone can finish the mission without any difficulty. Their Frosts are stronger than all of the enemy units in the mission and that doesn't equate into good news for the enemy. You can either let them hog the kills or do the mission the hard way. There are two minor notes to be aware of, however. It's nothing that means life or death on this mission, but you should pay attention to them. The first one is that an extra three Zigle 11As will appear if Halle says that the enemy was able to send an alert message in Mission 5. That's more EXP for your units if you decide to go after them. The second one is that if Grieg is destroyed, the game ends. Since Grieg is a commander type unit like Kevin, it's in your best interest to protect him.

Losing Condition: All ally machines or Grieg destroyed. Strategy: Notice the huge increase in the enemy composition? That's right, you have to deal with Vonarts that are nearly twice as strong as your wanzers. They are even tougher than the Hell's Wall Frosts! To make matters worse, there are a lot of Vonarts toting Long weapons on both Shoulders. Their Vonart Punch is even stronger than their Long weapons if you dare to attack them up close. Finally, there is the K.O.N.G. X-II mobile weapon to deal with and it's a tough one to kill. If you didn't use the Hell's Wall unit from the previous mission, you certainly will need their help on this one. Start by merging with the Hell's Wall unit and luring the attention of the closest Vonarts in their direction. Start off every attack with Rebus and Milligan, along with your own Long specialists, attacking with Long weapons. Follow up with Grieg, Dave, Josh, and Ghetta destroying the weakened Vonart. With the rest of your crew, go after different Vonarts as a team. Keep Halle on repair duty and only have her attack if no one needs repairs. If the rest of your crew already have Repair S items, have her focus on keeping Hell's Wall healthy. Eventually, the rest of the Vonarts will start heading your way. If you have Flash Grenades, start using them on the incoming Vonarts. Go after the ones that you hit with Flash Grenades while they are defenseless. Once most of the Vonarts are down, the K.O.N.G. X-II will start moving your way. Have Rebus and Milligan stand by Halle to reload ammo, likewise with any Long users that you have. When that's done, blast the K.O.N.G. X-II to pieces with Long weapons. Enemy Composition ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Boss - Commander in K.O.N.G.

She leaves the battlefield after three turns though so you're not getting help from her. Reinforcements arrive from the North after destroying one Light Tank, but none of them pose a significant threat. If you want a challenge, try reaching Maria before she leaves and see what happens if you select Attack...

Anyways, you have a small amount of enemies to deal with at the highway. The problem is that you must protect Gina and the enemies are not stupid enough to go after your units first. Equip Legs with the highest Move ratings and go for Long weapons with great range for this one. When an enemy unit is within range, send it to the junkyard with Long weapons. Gina herself can fend off the enemy, but she won't last long if they surround and overwhelm her.

Your targets to protect are the two supply trucks; if both of them are destroyed, it's game over. On the fourth turn, enemy reinforcements arrive to the Northwest. That's about it for the mission.

What you do have to worry about is that this is a timed mission; if you do not clear it within 20 turns or less, you will get a game over. There's no indicator saying how many turns you have left except for warning messages on turns five and ten. The terrain conditions will make it harder for you to get around as well. Before you move out, make sure you grab Arpeggio Legs for all of your units. Start by moving South to destroy every enemy unit along the way to the SAM Launchers. Take those out, and all you have left to deal with are the wanzers.

Exit the Command Room and speak to the U.C.S. soldiers from before. When that's done, re-enter the Command Room to get your next orders from Stewart. Once preparations are complete, head to Beltchka. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mission 17 - Beltchka ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enemies: 10 Bosses: 0 Units: 7 Allies: 1 Money: 15000 (Laurent does not survive), 20000 (Laurent survives) + 7270 Difficulty: ** Winning Condition: All enemy machines destroyed. Losing Condition: All ally machines destroyed. Strategy: Yet another straightforward mission awaits the Silver Lynxes. The notable for this mission? You have to protect Laurent from enemy attacks. Doing so will yield an extra 5000 upon mission completion. This is nearly impossible to do since one Missileer will always attack Laurent on the first turn. Unless you get lucky, Laurent will be destroyed after that attack. In order to save Laurent, you'll need to get rid of the M.B.T. Attackers and the Missileer that can hit Laurent from the first turn. The best way to do this is by equipping the Arpeggio Legs and making sure that your Move is at 22. For other parts, equip Tigre, Piz 8, and some Chaff Grenades. The plan is simple - get rid of the M.B.T. Attackers closest to Laurent so you can fire a Chaff Grenade on him. Next, deal with the Missileer who can hit Laurent with whoever has the Piz 8 equipped. With Chaff Grenades, Laurent can usually survive the inevitable attack. However, if you don't want to risk it, then you'll need to disable or destroy Missileer on the first turn. If you deploy everyone with the above setup, the only one who can reach that enemy unit and attack it on the first turn is Johnny... It's up to you whether or not you need the extra 5000, so you don't have to worry about Laurent if he dies.

Waste the other enemies then concentrate fire on the Seaking when it's the only one left standing.

Upgrading their wanzers are highly recommended if any of them are lagging behind. After you've finished with preparations, exit Fort Monus and head to the Soleit Prison Camp. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mission 19 - Soleit Prison Camp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enemies: 10 Bosses: 0 Units: 3 Allies: 0 Money: 5370 Difficulty: ** Winning Condition: All enemy machines destroyed.

Hopefully none of the three are lagging behind in terms of pilot and wanzer composition. If you want to play it safe, don't advance too far into the camp and draw the attention of the other enemies.

Losing Condition: All ally machines destroyed. Strategy: It's about time you had another difficult mission in this scenario. There are only Blizzaia 2 and Zeroa units for this battle. The Blizzaia 2, apart from being heavily armored, have Tiran Arms. The Tiran Arm possesses the strongest built-in Machine Gun in the game. With a Switch activation, one attack from these Arms can destroy units even at full health. The Zeroa units aren't too bad with their Ragos and Slay weapons for distance attacks. Whatever you do, go after the Blizzaia 2s first. Disable either Arm to negate the danger of being killed by Switch with the Duel or Guide skills. If you don't have those skills yet, Gina starts with Duel so use her to take off those Tiran Arms. You can also go for the Body, but the Blizzaia 2s give a lot of EXP for every part destroyed. If you need to train anyone who is lagging behind, fully disable the Blizzaia 2s and let those pilots do the finishing blow. The Zeroa units give a decent amount of EXP for every part destroyed likewise. Concentrate against the nearby enemies to the South and then mop up the remaining ones to the North when you're done. Salvaged Items: Banyan(Mobile Weapon) - Directly to the Southwest of the starting position, look at the small warehouse. Move to the square outside the doors of the warehouse to get it. Dragon Fang(Arm) - Move to the square directly inside the warehouse to the Southwest. This square is just one above the Banyan's. Can only be procured from second playthrough and above. The Right Arm can be procured on the second playthrough, the Left Arm can be procured from the third playthrough, and a complete set can be procured from the fourth playthrough and above.

At Aborde, head to the Bar and talk to everyone. Next, head to the Shop and check out the latest parts. You can access the best parts now on the U.C.S. scenario, but a few are not accessible until after the next mission. Finish tweaking your wanzers and talk to the Shop owner. Upon leaving, a rather long scene will commence and the next mission starts after the scene ends. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mission 21 - Aborde ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enemies: 10 Bosses: 0 Units: 7 Allies: 0 Money: 10270 Difficulty: *** Winning Condition: All enemy machines destroyed. Losing Condition: All ally machines destroyed or enemy reaches Aborde. Strategy: More of those lovely Blizzaia 2s are coming out to play! There's also two Helicopter units but they are pretty weak compared to the Blizzaia 2s. The heavily armored wanzers no longer use Tiran Arms and opt for the Leostun B Machine Guns instead. They aren't as dangerous as they were before, but a single Switch activates and an ally could potentially be destroyed. Also, not all enemies will be gunning straight for you. Some of them will be heading towards Aborde. If they reach the town, it's game over for you. As with the previous mission, disable the wanzers first then feel free to do whatever you want with them. Make sure you get rid of them quickly or else they will start moving towards Aborde. Finish off the remaining Helicopters once the Blizzaia 2s have been destroyed.

Losing Condition: All ally machines destroyed. Strategy: If you're looking to get a good EXP boost in this mission, don't. Aside from the Gigas mobile weapons, the Phantom units give next to no EXP even if you fully destroy one. Most of them use the same setup as the Blizzaia 2s from the mission before and have Switch as well. Treat them in the same way you faced the Blizzaia 2s. The Phantom aside, you have to deal with two Gigas mobile weapons. If you've completed the O.C.U. scenario, the Gigas is similar to the Gavel apart from lower HP. It's nothing you can't deal with however. Salvaged Items: Gavel(Mobile Weapon) - From the North Carrier's position, go to the Northeast part of the map. At the very top aircraft hangar, move to the very top square beside the hangar's entrance. This square is by the Eastern border of the map so it's fairly easy to spot.

Losing Condition: All ally machines destroyed. Strategy: The U.C.S. scenario's final mission is certainly more challenging than the O.C.U. scenario's final mission, but it's still easy. For this mission, you will be up against three Type 11DS Ravens. Two use the third Arm setup with Cannons and Gail uses the original setup, except he has a Ziege P Rifle on the Right Hand. The Ziege P gives out 500 EXP with each attack in Short or Long depending on what range Gail attacks you from. Don't worry about it too much though since Gail can't use his skills with it. Disable each Raven by destroying both Arms and you've pretty much completed this mission. Like in the O.C.U. scenario, the Ravens here drop tons of EXP with each part destroyed. The two Ravens with the Cannon Arm setup only drop 1000 EXP for the Body and Legs, but Gail will drop 1000 EXP for all of his parts. Finish the Raven trio off and you're done! Salvaged Items: Innova(Mobile Weapon) - By Gail's starting point, look at the two trucks behind him. By the North truck, there is a radar tower with visible stairs. Move to the square behind the North truck and at the radar tower's entrance.

At Fort Monus, head to the Command Room. After Stewart assigns the next mission, exit and re-enter the Command Room. The Forest will become accessible from the Peseta Forward Base. Enemies: 1 + 7 reinforcements Bosses: 0 Units: 5 Allies: 0 Money: 2815 Difficulty: ** Winning Condition: Helicopter destroyed. Losing Condition: All ally machines destroyed or helicopter escapes. Strategy: The only thing you have to do here is destroy the HAH04 Cassowary helicopter. The helicopter will arrive onto the battlefield after five turns have passed. Until then, move to waypoint 1 and stay in the area. When the HAH04 Cassowary arrives, the first reinforcement wave will arrive on the next turn. This is also the same time that the HAH04 Cassowary will reach waypoint 1. It stays at the waypoint for two turns before moving to waypoint 2. A turn after it goes to waypoint 2, the second reinforcement wave arrives. The helicopter will stay at waypoint 2 for two turns before moving to the final waypoint. When it reaches that waypoint, it retreats to the Northeast. With that said, you can either choose to destroy the HAH04 Cassowary early or wait later if you need more EXP.

After Stewart assigns the next mission, exit and re-enter the Command Room. Talk with Stewart aagin and watch the scene with Grieg upon exiting. The Training Grounds will become accessible to the East from Freedom City. Enemies: 0 Bosses: 6 Units: 6 Allies: 0 Money: 4290 Difficulty: **** (*** if Gina is useable) Winning Condition: Hell's Wall destroyed. Losing Condition: All ally machines destroyed. Strategy: You have the option of completing the mission with Gina or doing it without her. Either way, this secret mission is still doable without her. If you have played the O.C.U. scenario, you likely have an idea of what Hell's Wall can do. The main difference is that the Hell's Wall unit now use Frost HWs rather than the basic Frost. Frost HWs last much longer than the basic Frost due to higher HP and much higher Defense. Each pilot also has a new weapon loadout to go along with their new rigs. In short, you really need to dedicate all of your pilots to bringing down a Frost HW. Start off by taking out Rebus and Milligan to the Northeast. Hit them with a Flash Grenade so you can attack safely from up close. If one of your units has Guide or Duel, aim for their Bodies. Once they are beaten, concentrate on Josh and Ghetta next. Repeat what you did with Rebus and Milligan against the two: hit with a Flash Grenade and attack while they are defenseless. Save Grieg and Dave for last. For Grieg, remember to disable one of his Arms to prevent him from using Switch.

Head back to the Command Room one last time and speak with Stewart. Watch the following scene with the Nirvana agent and the Sakata Industries Facilities will become accessible North of Freedom City. Enemies: 12 Bosses: 2 Units: 6 Allies: 2 Money: 7530 Difficulty: ***** (**** if Gina is useable) Winning Condition: All enemy machines destroyed or at least one supply truck escapes. Losing Condition: All ally machines or supply trucks destroyed. Strategy: While this is secret mission can be completed without Gina, it is highly recommended that you wait until she joins. The mission becomes a lot more manageable with a sixth member. The main objective for the mission is to protect two supply trucks until they retreat from the battlefield. They begin to leave after the fifth turn or if an enemy attacks them. The problem will be defending them from numerous enemies, a Gloster mobile weapon, and Gentz. You can be easily overwhelmed in a matter of turns and it's very likely that you can fail the mission. You only need to defend one supply truck to clear the mission, so don't fret if one of them is destroyed. Start the mission by moving right where the supply trucks are. Have two of your units block the squares adjacent to the trucks on the Northwest. Keep Halle nearby for repairs while the other three take out the incoming enemy units. If you have Duel and Guide, taking out the enemies will be easy. If not, throw some Flash Grenades and destroy the defenseless enemies. When the Gloster gets within range, shoot it down with Long weapons. The only one you likely won't be able to destroy is Gentz. When the supply trucks begin to move, form a blockade by their escape route. Destroy any of the remaining Missileers first and shoot down the remaining Attackers next. The enemy units normally won't attack your units at this point, but use a few Repair items and Halle's Riff just in case. Hold out for a few more turns and you'll finish the mission.

After Stewart assigns the next mission, exit and re-enter the Command Room. A scene with a U.C.S. soldier occurs upon leaving the Command Room and the Resource Plant will become accessible far North from the Peseta Forward Base. Enemies: 16 Bosses: 2 Units: 7 Allies: 0 Money: 13694 Difficulty: **** (*** if Ghetta is useable) Winning Condition: All enemy machines destroyed. Losing Condition: All ally machines or enemy reaches central building. Strategy: While this secret mission can be completed without Ghetta, it is highly recommended that you wait until he joins. This mission can be overwhelming as enemies attack from all directions and there are two T.C.K. Assault mobile weapons to deal with as well. The main objective of the mission is to protect the central building in the center of the map from the enemy. If an enemy unit reaches the central building, you will fail the mission. Considering how easy it is for one of them to do this, split up into three groups. Have Kevin and Matthew take care of the Northeast direction, Gina and Ghetta on the Southeast direction, and the trio of Johnny, Halle, and Howard on the Northwest direction. The Northwest direction will get hit the hardest, so it shouldn't be a surprise why you should wait for Ghetta to join. Load up on Flash and Smoke Grenades as well to make the mission more bearable. Keep some Repair items on hold when Halle is busy repairing someone else. If your units have the most recent gear, you'll have an easier time against the enemies. Start off by having Gina and Ghetta take out the enemy squad in their direction. Kevin and Matthew should move to the back of the central building and stay there. For the last three, move by the t-intersection near the central building and wait for enemies to arrive. The Northeast and Northwest directions are where the T.C.K. Assault mobile weapons attack from, so be prepared to attack when one gets close enough. The general strategy here is to prevent any of the enemies from reaching the central building by blocking their passage. Once you've dealt with all enemy units on two directions, the enemy squad by the Southwest will begin to move. Send the groups who succeeded in their directions to intercept the enemies in the Southwest direction. Use any items that you may have, especially any Flash and Smoke Grenades. As long as you keep up a strong defense, this mission will end eventually. Enemy Composition ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Boss - Commander in T.C.K.

SECRETS [SECR] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PILOT SCOUTING -------------- In the original O.C.U. scenario, there are a total of 18 pilots (including Peewie) that can be used in mission play. While most of the pilots will join as you progress further into the game, there are six who will not. These are optional pilots that can you scout and recruit during the game. These pilots can be recruited at any given time, even by the time of the final mission on the O.C.U. scenario! While the scouting conditions for these pilots has already been mentioned in the walkthrough above, here's a quick list of them: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Name Requirement ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Paul C. Greiber Talk to him at the Grey Rock Bar after Mission 5. Alder Weiss Defeat him at the Menasa Arena after Mission 5. Gregorio Maias Defeat him at the Freedom Arena after Mission 8. Bobby Hopkins Defeat Porunga at Peseta City after Mission 11. Porunga Defeat Porunga at Peseta City after Mission 11. Ralph Dian Defeat him at the Fort Monus Arena after Mission 16. Notes: Paul's requirement is simple: just visit him at the Grey Rock Bar. In the event you decline Paul's offer to join the Canyon Crows, you can still recruit him. Just talk to him at the Grey Rock Bar whenever you want to do this. For Alder, head to the Grey Rock Bar and talk to Herbert. Next, head for Menasa and talk to Alder at the Menasa Bar. Attempt to recruit him and then he will challenge you to an Arena match. Only Royd can fight Alder. Alder will join you once you have defeated him. In the event that Royd loses the Arena match, you can still recruit him. Simply go back to the Menasa Arena and the match against Alder will begin again. For Gregorio, a scene and an Arena match will commence the first time you enter the Freedom Arena. The Announcer will ask you if you want to challenge Gregorio when the match ends. In the event you decline the offer, you can still recruit him. Whenever you return to the Freedom Arena, simply select Gregorio as an Arena opponent and defeat him. For Bobby and Porunga, right after completing Mission 11, head to Peseta City. Visit the Military Ward and once you exit, watch an event scene between two wanzers. Choose to stop the fight and you will be up against Porunga. Defeat Porunga to get him and Bobby to join the Canyon Crows. In the event that you decline to intervene in the fight or lose the fight, you can still recruit them. To do this, exit Peseta City and then re-enter it from the world map. Once you re-enter Peseta City, the fight between Bobby and Porunga will happen again. For Ralph, all you have to do is offer him a chance to join the Canyon Crows upon beating him. In the event that you don't give Ralph the offer, you can still recruit him. Simply return to the Fort Monus Arena and defeat Ralph, and then you will be able to offer him a chance to join the Canyon Crows. EXP FARMING ----------- Looking for ways to amass large amounts of EXP without having to go through New Game+ over and over again? Fear not, there are quite a number of methods to farming EXP in missions. The following are the best methods of EXP farming on both scenarios: 1. Supply Trucks. Whenever an enemy loses a part, they will almost always retreat to a supply truck. The supply truck restores the destroyed part at just 1 HP. Due to the fact that destroying parts results in a large boost in EXP, this method is effective and quick. It works best if your units have the skill Duel or Guide to ensure any enemies are not destroyed by accident. 2. Duel and Guide. These two skills are great for taking out enemy units by simply destroying the Body. However, you can use these skills to get more EXP by disabling the Arms and Legs of an enemy before aiming at their Body. This is a safe method of gaining EXP and preventing enemies from dealing damage at the same time. 3. Multi-hit Weapons. Destroying a part yields a good EXP boost, but being able to take off more than one yields extra EXP. An enemy that yields around 100 EXP per part may give as much as 600 EXP if all parts are destroyed at the same time. Obviously, this is best when an enemy is weakened or later in the game where Job proficiencies are high. 4. Ziege and Dragon Fang. These two weapons grant a tremendous amount of EXP for every attack, even during a miss. Ziege is the way to go for rapid EXP gains in the Short class and likewise with Dragon Fang for the Melee class. Ziege gives off 650 EXP and Dragon Fang gives off 450 EXP with each hit, even when it misses. The catch? Ziege is only on the O.C.U. scenario and Dragon Fang can be procured only on the second playthrough and above. MONEY FARMING ------------- Have problems with funds to pay for everyone's wanzers and whatnot? Fear not, there is a solution to your problems! The best way to farm money is to win Arena battles repeatedly. Winning lots of money at the Arena may take a while but here are some methods on getting money quickly. 1. Find Arena combatants that use only weapons corresponding to one class. If someone uses only Melee weapons, stick with Short weapons. If someone uses Short weapons, stick with Long weapons. This makes winning much easier if you get the first action on every turn. 2. Boost the Odds rate by equipping weaker gear. Basically, your chosen Arena combatant should have a unit and weapon loadout weaker than the enemy's. This increases your Odds rate in exchange for a higher chance of losing the match and losing money. 3. Have the Duel and Guide skills. Just one of them is suffice enough for the Arena and being able to destroy an enemy quickly is good news for you. If you know the opposing combatant has a dangerous weapon, you can disable the Arm that has it. Otherwise, aim for the Body at all times. 4. Defeat Rocky in Zora 3A. By the end of the game on both scenarios, you can challenge the Arena combatant Rocky, who pilots a Zora 3A. Rocky is difficult, but he has the highest Odds rate of any Arena combatant. As Rocky only uses Short weapons, pick someone with Long weapons and you'll beat him easily. USING MOBILE WEAPONS -------------------- If you are bored of playing around with wanzers, you can also pilot mobile weapons. While most of them cannot use skills due to having only a single part, they are armed with some of the most powerful weaponry in the entire game. Getting them requires beating secret missions and moving to specific squares on the map mostly. Each scenario also rewards a mobile weapon upon completing the said scenario. However, there will still be mobile weapons that you cannot get in one playthrough. These are bought in Shops on a New Game+ playthrough. The following is a list of every useable mobile weapon on both scenarios: Mobile Weapon Guide: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mobile Weapon OCU UCS Shop ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Prototype Clinton * * N Clinton Type * ** Y Gloster * * N Seaking * * N Algem * * N Banyan * * N Gavel * * N Innova ** * Y K.O.N.G. X-II ** * Y Gigas ** * Y T.C.K. Assault ** *** Y Buren *** **** N * - found or awarded in missions ** - must be purchased at the Shop/Hangar (New Game+ only) *** - scenario completion bonus **** - see the Front Mission Recurring Characters section NEW GAME+ --------- New Game+ is basically restarting the game with everything retained in the previous playthrough. Apart from the prospective of being able to plow every enemy until the end of the game, you can get special parts that cannot be accessed on the first playthrough. You can only access this mode as long as you have a clear save file. If you do not, New Game+ cannot be accessed. Furthermore, you cannot switch to the other scenario for New Game+ no matter what you do. If you beat the U.C.S. scenario and made a clear save file, any further playthroughs will only be for the U.C.S. scenario. Likewise, you cannot play the U.C.S. scenario if the clear save file was made from the O.C.U. scenario. The reason being is that both scenarios do not share any playable characters and are structured different. New Game+ retains the following data: - Pilot Level - Job Level - Pilot Skills - Parts - Weapons - Items - Money Obviously, beat the game once on either scenario to unlock this mode. DIFFICULTY SETTINGS ------------------- Upon beating the game once on either scenario, you can play through the game on a different difficulty setting. The difficulty settings multiply HP by a certain amount and also damage to a lesser extent. It is a bit of a lame reward but if you want more of a challenge, by all means go ahead and do it! Difficulty Settings Guide: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Multiplier (HP) Availability ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 0.5 Complete the game once. 1.0 Default game settings. 1.2 Complete the game once. 1.5 Complete the game two times. 2.0 Complete the game three times. 5.0 Complete the game four times. 10.0 Complete the game five times. On a minor note, the difficulty settings apply to New Game and New Game+ playthroughs. SOUND TEST ---------- Upon beating the game once on either scenario, the Sound Test is unlocked. All of the game's 166 sound effects and music tracks can be listened to on this mode. Hidenori Iwasaki, the go-to-person for Front Mission music today, updated most of the original music tracks for the PS1 Front Mission 1st. He also contributed new music tracks for the then-new U.C.S. scenario when the PS1 version of Front Mission 1st was released in Japan. The original Front Mission was composed by the talented Yoko Shimomura of Kingdom Hearts fame and Noriko Matsueda, who wrote the entire soundtrack for Front Mission 2. Data on the music tracks and their original composer will be detailed below. Only one track, #38 Desert Storm, has no data. This track is nothing more than an extended version of sound effects playing and looping. It does not appear in any of the Original Soundtracks sold in Japan so it is a mystery as to why it is there. Feel free to use some headphones to enjoy the quality of the music without intereference from gameplay!

Scenarios ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Location: Training Grounds (Tutorial) Freedom City (Mission 8) Fort Monus (Mission 16) Fort Monus, Residential Area (Secret Mission 3) Freedom City Bar (Mission 18) Soleit Bar (Mission 21) Wayne Mountains (U.C.S. Mission 15) Time of Appearance: Tutorial to Mission 21, U.C.S. Mission 15 Alias: None Appears in: Front Mission 2089-II Front Mission 2 Front Mission 5: Scars of the War Playable: Yes Description: Glen Duval is one of the main characters in Front Mission 5: Scars of the War, and is one of the secondary characters in Front Mission 2089-II and Front Mission 2. Glen is part of the 48th Defense Unit with the O.C.U. Ground Defense Force. His appearance in Front Mission 1st expands on his duties within the O.C.U. military before and during the Second Huffman Conflict. In the game, Glen appears two times in the O.C.U. scenario apart from the optional tutorial. After taking over Freedom City in Mission 8, go to the Military Ward twice in Freedom City. Exit the Military Ward and there will be a scene with Glen. The second time he appears is after the takeover of Fort Monus in Mission 16. Go to the Military Ward twice in Fort Monus and exit the place to see another scene with Glen. This also unlocks Secret Mission 3, where Glen makes his final appearance before leaving. In addition, there are three references made to Glen on both scenarios. One reference is made after completing Mission 18 in the O.C.U. scenario. This one takes place at the Freedom City Bar. The second one is at the Soleit Bar after completing Mission 21 in the O.C.U. scenario. The final reference is in the U.C.S. scenario and takes place after completing Mission 15. This one takes place at Wayne Mountains. During a wanzer training session, Royd meets his instructor Glen. Glen tells Royd that he was assigned to train him specifically and he addresses him as Lieutenant Clive. Royd tells Glen to call him by his first name since he has served longer in the O.C.U. military. At the end of the session, Royd defeats Glen and passes the test. For completing the training session, Glen promotes Royd to Captain and tells him that he now leads his own reconnaissance squad. After the recapture of Freedom City, Royd and Glen meet outside of the Military Ward. While Glen initially does not respond to Royd, he asks him if he leads a group of mercenaries now. Glen apologizes to Royd since he has a tendency to forget things. Now a First Sergeant, Glen tells Royd that Karen was to serve under his command. Glen sends his condolences about Karen to Royd, who thanks him. After the fall of Fort Monus, Royd and Glen, now a Lieutenant, meet once again outside of the Military Ward. When Royd asks him how he has fared, Glen stays silent. Glen later says that he does not know who Royd is. A mechanic tells Glen that his wanzer is ready to go and he leaves for a mission. Following Glen, Royd and the Canyon Crows head to a residential area in Fort Monus. Glen tells a fellow soldier that they have "code green to eradicate" and to "kill them all". Demonstrating an inhuman level of piloting skill, Glen effortlessly handles the enemies without taking a single hit. During the battle at the residential area, Glen detects enemies in the Eastern district of the city and leaves. Royd wonders how Glen changed so radically in a short period of time. Some time after the end of the Second Huffman Conflict, Royd talks with a man called Kira at the Freedom City Bar. Kira says that he saw a "bright blue Zenith" in the city recently, wondering who would pilot such a wanzer. Some time after the end of the war, a man named Efil talks about a blue Zenith that was "ripping the defense troops apart" during combat. In the U.C.S. scenario, shortly after the fall of Freedom City in the Wayne Mountains, a Mechanic claims that there was an O.C.U. sniper with ungodly skill. This sniper is supposedly using a "blue Zenith" that is likely a new model that no one has seen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ernest Miller U.C.S.

When he asks for Hector, the Bartender wonders if he is a friend of Hector. The Bartender gives Kevin the keys to a vehicle that Hector wanted to give to him.
