INTRODUCTION ============================================================================== First of all, let me tell you that this game is nothing like the original Steambot Chronicles game for PS2. The Battle Tournamet game is a mission-based action game with RPG elements. Your main place of action will be the Orion City, where you mainly do two things: accept and complete various requests, brought to you by the Agency and participate in the Battle Tournament on your Trotmobile. You can buy parts for your Trot, sell them and customize them. This is one of the most important aspects of the game. You can't change your character's clothes and you can't play various musical instruments like you could in the original game for PS2. This is a major letdown, but oh well. I'm here to guide you through the game and help you out in understanding its numerous features. As I have said, it's mostly mission-based and linear, so there's not too much to learn. ============================================================================== II.

BASICS AND TIPS ============================================================================== In Orion City: 1. Press START to open your menu. Press L and R to watch your Vehicle Data, Items you have, Mission Data, Records, Map of the region and options. Vehicle Data: Here you can watch what parts your vehicle has, their capacity and defense/attack/jumping statistics, etc. You can equip your Trot with: Body Part Left/Right Arm Part Leg Part Windshield Part Grille Part Back Part Items: You can watch the list of items you have Mission Data: Info on your current/completed missions. The green ones are "completed", the white ones are "in progress". Records: Your Tournament Records, including your Rank records, Vs. Records, Fame Points, your current rank, and your title.

'---------' / | \_______| Abbreviations: PM1 - Pegasus Motors PM2 - Pola Motors PTF - Pegasus Trotmobile Company OST - Orion Sun Times BC - Business Cluster AP. - Apartments FB - Flavor Nebula HJ - Hyperion Jewels C/H - Clinic/Hotel EA - Employment Agency S - Supplies P - Produce Options: You can set the volume, text speed and control type here. You can also go back to title screen from this menu. 2. You can save and get off your Trot at the red parking cones. They're marked on the map as red cones. They are situated near the Employment Agency, Pola Motors, the Coliseum and the Orion Station. 3. There are three exits out of town: to Maffei Forest (north exit), to Aquarius Valley (east exit), and to Kelvinheit Snowfield (west exit). 4. To move faster, hold the X button. 5. Some of the places are only enter-able without the Trot (Employment Agency, the Flavor Nebula restaurant, etc.), i.e. you have to get off your Trot first. 6. Some of the client NPCs are not situated in the Orion City, so look for them elsewhere. 7. Spend the money you have earned on upgrading your Trot, you'll need those upgrades. 8. In order to claim the reward from the Agency, you must first speak with the client. 9. Fame Points are needed for the Battle Tournament. The more of them you have, the higher rank you can participate in. 10. You can't cancel Urgent requests. In battle: 1. Press X to dash, press Circle to jump, but be aware that this will cost you some of your fuel, of course. 2. Press L+R to guard, this helps A LOT in battles, it reduces the damage you take. 3. Don't be lazy to kill enemies here and there, as they drop UR (Eurocchi, this game's currency) and Gas for your fuel tank. 4. Remember that random enemies respawn once you leave the area and come back. 5. If you want to deal some extra damage, press Triangle+Square for a spinning attack. Note that this attack takes away some of your own HP. ============================================================================== IV. THE WALKTHROUGH ============================================================================== Choose "New game", and after naming your character/Trot (default names are Apollo/Milky Way respectively) watch a little introducting scene with the sailor. As I've noticed, the answers you give throughout the game don't really change anything, so answer as you like, sometimes choosing the most surprising ones for a quick laugh. Approach you Trotmobile, get on it and go to the barrels and boxes for a scene with Venus and desperado. You'll read a small tutorial on how to fight, as well as participate in your first battle. It's very easy, just hit the bandit with your right and left hands to take him down. To get to Venus' Shop, Pola Motors, open your map and find it marked there. When in the shop, you'll get a quick briefing on how to customize your Trot, blah blah blah. Let's go to the Employment Agency, to the south. Get off your Trot by the red parking cone and save. Enter the Agency to meet Galatea. You will get your first request - Lumber Request. Go talk to Zeus near the Jupiter Construction (green figure on the map). Afterwards, return to Pola Motors and purchase Flatbed Back Part and the Saw Arm Part. Exit the city via the north exit to enter Maffei Forest. The Peacock Trots are very weak, they die from like three hits, but watch out for theit missiles. The Fine Wood is found in the E corner of the map (lock on it and press the button, corresponding your saw-arm). Once you have the wood, return to the Orion City and deliver it to Zeus. Go to the Agency to claim the reward - 300 UR and 10 Fame Points. New jobs will be available from now on. Request #1. Interview a Popular Chef Location: Orion City Reward: 300 UR Talk to Ceres at Orion Sun Times. Go to Flavor Nebula. Get out of your Trot, and enter the restaurant. Talk to Sol at the bar.

Proceed to the Deep Forest area, get 500 UR in the west corner of the map and cut some Magmaple near the sign. Go back to the previous area to be ambushed by the three Dark Scorpions. The battle is easy, treat them like the ordinary Peacock Trots, as they only shoot missiles at you. 5 hits for each one should be more than enough to win the fight. Deliver the Magmaple to Athena, Zeus' daughter. Go to the Agency to claim your reward - 700 UR and 20 Fame Points. Now that you have done all the beginner quests, you have enough Fame Points to enter the D rank of the Battle Tournament. Enter the Coliseum and talk to Larissa, Galatea's sister. Once ready, begin participating in D rank battles. You can leave the Coliseum and save between them, which is very convenient. .======. |D RANK| Fame Required: 30 Points '======' Entry Fee: 100 UR Round 1: Thomas .----------------------------------------------------. | STATS | INFO | |Trot: The Unnamed | | |Stage: The Prison | This battle is very easy, | |R.

The Legend of Farmost Ruins Location: A hidden location Reward: 2000 UR Ok, this seems to be the most frustrating quest in the whole game. Before attempting it, make sure you have a properly equipped Trotmobile with good close range and long range weapons. I used shotgun for this mission. Talk to the archaelogist expert near the Orion Station. Choose "Yes" to be transported to the dungeon. A few words about the ruins: - There are a total of 10 floors here. - To get to the next floor, you have to defeat a certain enemy that drops the key AND find a legendary part. - The parts are found in chests scattered around the floors. Some chests have Eurocchi in them, but some have traps. - The door to the next floor is ALWAYS in the north. - There are some new enemies every 2 floors or so. There are Peacocks on the first two levels, some bombers starting from third, snowball throwers start from the fourth, while the two most dangerous enemies - Flamethrowing Trots and cannonball shooters start from levels 6 and 8 respectively. Alright, so you get the jist, right? You find a part, find a key and proceed to the next level. If you're having some trouble with the cannonball shooters, I recommend waiting until they fire a cannonball at you, jumping on them at the same time and hitting them with you close range weapon while still in mid air. And try to reduce the damage to the minimum possible on the lower floors, so that you'll save it fot the latter floors. Once you have collected all the ten parts, the archaelogist will combine them to make an Excalibur weapon. Now that's a nice reward! Go to the Agency to claim the reward - 2000 UR and 20 Fame Points.

Equip some good long range weapon such as Missile Launcher, for example. Enter the factory. After a long scene you'll fight your your first battle with Oppenheimer. He can be hard at times, so dash and hit him constantly. Another long scene follows. Now the time to strike! Final Boss: Oppenheimer This fight is rather challenging. Oppenheimer's Trot has two weak spots - on his belly and on the top. To destroy his belly weak spot, simpley jump and hit it with your close range weapon. Be careful with his spikes, and dash when he jumps and lands on you. Move away from him and start firing missiles at his top weak spot. It should take about 5-6 hits to get destroyed. Then the last part of the battle comes - he starts throwing homing missiles at you, so avoid them by dashing and lauching a missile counterattack at him. Be careful with your fuel tank, cause if you run out of fuel, you're pretty much screwed. If you can, guard when you see that the missile shot is unavoidable. You should have enough HP to withstand a few shots. If you can't defeat him, retry a few times to get the hang of the battle, and I'm sure you'll defeat him soon enough. With the Oppenheimer's defeat, congratulate yourself on beating this game. You may get one of the three endings, depending on your answers to Venus in the final dialogue. If you tell her that you don't care for her, she'll invite you to stay in town, and if you accept her offer, you'll get the true ending. At least that's what I think the true ending is. I haven't seen the bad ending personally, but I heard it's achieved by losing the final battle in Arena (?), so that Venus dumps you for Diphda. Correct me if I'm wrong here. Anyway, thanks for reading my guide, I hope it helped, and if you liked it, please recommend it to other GameFAQs users. ============================================================================== V.

Any similar games? - I think Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology is pretty similar. 5. Are there any anime cutscenes in this game? - No. 6. Are there some cameos from the original game? - Yeah, you will meet Connie, Vanilla (in the Arena), and also you'll hear about Dan the Lion (I guess you know who it is) and Dr. Nutmeg. 7. I just can't defeat the final boss! Help me... - Use the strategy I mentioned above or if everything else fails, equip two missiles with fully upgraded ammo, so that they will last you for a far longer time. ============================================================================== VI.
