XENOGEARS
Stand Tall and Shake the Heavens

BABEL TOWER

After the battle, a sequence follows. Later, you'll be able to change your party members. You will be fighting Ramsus again so I recommend that you have Bart with you. Go to the memory cube then save.

Talk to Sigurd and choose 'wait a while.' Get out of the room and then go to the elevator. Head for the gear hangar. Go to the gear shop and tune up your gears. You might not be able to afford to tune up all the gears in your party so just tune up the one gears of the members you plan on using. You can tune up the gears of the others next time.

Go back to Sigurd at the bridge and talk to him. Launch the Yggdrasil. The Babel tower is that bright yellow dot on the middle of the group of islands on the the lower left of the map. If you went there in the early part of the game, the entrance should be sealed but now it's not.

Here's one of the most annoying and most difficult jumps you'll be making. The view isn't a true 360 degrees so it's hard to estimate where and when to jump. It's very tricky and falling down the water can be frustrating.

TIPS ON ENEMIES

Traffic Jam - Has an ether attack (alarm beam) which can cause 200-500+ damage! They're easy to kill. Use Renamzuo's <S> attacks.

From the entrance, walk all the way to the end and let yourself fall to the edge where the box is. Get inside the tube and exit through the /SOUTH\ hole. Do a running jump to get to the other end on the /SOUTH\. Then make another jump to another end. Did you fall down?

If yes, go up again (ugh). Hokay, assuming that you're now on the part where there's a rope, fall down towards it and press <X>. Do not jump because you won't be able to grab the rope. Just press the left button on the game pad and press <X> when you're falling down. An instruction will pop up.

Press the left and right directional button and you will be moving. Keep on pressing the directional buttons to gain momentum. How do you know if the swaying's enough? If the 'view' on the screen starts to move, then it's okay to jump. Press <T> when the rope brings you to the top most on the /SOUTH\.

Just when you think it's over, there's still more and it's still possible to fall all the way down to the water. You will find yourself to be on some sort of metal arm. Go up on the [right]. Be careful because this metal will go down once you reach the end. Jump to the /WEST\ tube (there's an hole with a ledge).

Did you make it? I hope you did because imagine that you have to go through everything again. Walk slowly to the /NORTH\. Fei will say something. Go near the rope SLOWLY. Jump up. If you're near enough, you'll find the gears holding on the rope and go up automatically. Save your game on the nearby memory cube. If you were unsuccessful and frustrated, don't fret, here's a dexdrive save of the game.

Walk /WEST\. Walk to the edge. Once you're out of the gears, go to the door on the [right] of the gear. A big enemy might attack you while you're walking so it's wise to escape the fight.

Don't go down. Examine the computer at the top on the [right]. A sequence follows. Go down and open the chest. Get out of the place. Remember that you came in through the /SOUTH\ wall. Jump up and press <X> to open the wall. Go back to your gears by positioning yourself under them and press L2+R2.

Jump down then you'll find yourself at another ladderlike place. Go up the boxes on the /NORTH\.

TIPS ON ENEMIES

Conjurer - does an Ether attack on everyone including himself. A few <X> attacks will kill them.

Fuel Tank - will replenish your fuel. You have to attack them so that they'll replenish your fuel.

Gun Drone - can inflict almost 1000 HP damage. One of Weltall's <X> attacks will kill it.

Walk to the [left] a bit. Your gears will jump in. Go up the boxes. Jump up the metal ledge. Get out of your gears and climb up the ladder on the /SOUTH\. You have to go at the BACK of the ladder to be able to climb it. Go to the middle and examine that place. You'll find yourself in a room.

Examine the chests in the room. Go up (/EAST\). Examine the computer on the [right], the one with something that looks like a chair. A sequence follows.

BOSS FIGHT
WYVERN
5000 HP
Use Bart's Wild Smile on him. Miang will be curing him so it will take longer to kill him. Just make sure that you inflict more than 1000 hp damages per turn.

Save your game in the memory cube.

Go through the [right] doorway. Walk /EAST\ then turn /SOUTH\. Go down that place where you'll see a chest. Examine it. Go up again and try jumping over the other end. Fei will say something so you have to go down. Get out of your gears and go to the door at /NORTH\.

Go down the room. Open the chests. Examine the computers. Walk over them and keep pressing the <X> button. The first one of the [left] should say lock clear or something like that. The second one should say 'done,' while the third should start a sequence.

Go up and exit through the door. Jump up and try to cross the other end. Walk /SOUTH\. Jump over the gap on the floor. Keep on walking /SOUTH\ until you have to go up. Keep on walking /SOUTH\ and you'll fall. Get up and go to the other side.

Examine the chests but be careful! I don't know if it's possible to fall down but still... careful! Go /SOUTH\. Go down. Talk to 'Self-repairing robot.' Restore your fuel and HP. Walk back /EAST\ and jump on that gold gigantic stairs. Go /SOUTH\.

TIPS ON ENEMIES

Traffic Jam - there are two kinds of traffic jams now. Kill the windmill-like using a deathblow.

Keep on waling then go /EAST\. Jump on that big traffic jam. After the battle, it will take you up. Walk /NORTH\ once you are at the top. Turn /EAST\ at the end and do a running jump to get to the other end. If you fall down, I suggest you go to the white gear to replenish your fuel and HP. Jump on the big traffic jam to go up.

On the next level, walk /EAST\ then down /SOUTH\. At the end, go up a set of stairs. Jump on the big traffic jam. On the next level, keep on walking /NORTH\. Jump on the big traffic jam.

Jump /EAST\ and go to the /EAST\. You have to go /SOUTH\. Do a running jump to get to the other side. If you miss you'll fall down. You will have to jump on a big traffic jam which you can't see at this point. It is located down /SOUTH\. You can maneuver yourself a bit as you fall down. Keep pressing the directional button to be able to reach the traffic jam.

Jump /SOUTH\ and jump over the gaps. Go /SOUTH\ and go to the pipes. Climb up. Go to the memory cube and save your game.
