XENOGEARS
Stand Tall and Shake the Heavens

RECAPTURE AVEH

The next day, talk to Bart and tell him you're ready. After a sequence, you'll be controlling Citan. You'll find yourself in the room where Maison is. Save the game. Leave the room the turn to your [right] and enter the elevator. Climb up the stairs. A sequence follows.

You will see the where the entrance of the cave. Follow the orange gears if you can. Avoid falling because that will only cause delay. But don't be frustrated yet, more difficult jumps (if you miss a jump you'll fall far down) will be coming. Since you are on your own, it would be a good idea to escape the fights with the Medusoids.

Inside the cave, you will have to jump up many more ledges. There will be lots of enemies inside but the most destructive I guess are the May Flies. Choose your battles wisely. If you think you will win, go ahead and fight--you need the money and experience. If you're low on HP and fuel, then escape from the fights.

At the top is a repair bot. He will be a very big help to you don't choose "Can't Trust You" when you talk to him. Restore your gear fuel because YOU REALLY NEED TO! Let me tell you about the next bosses you'll face... They're so tough to beat that it'll make you want to throw out your Xenogears CDs out of the window. You will be battling a group of gears again. After talking with him, click on <S>, click on 'Gear' then 'Equip.' Change your accessories to: Beam Coat (why? Because you'll be facing the group of gears and one of them can cause a lot of damage using a beam gun). Upgrade the Extra Ar to Extra Ar+1. Then save the game on your memory cube. Go towards the light. Walk and a sequence follows.

SUBMISSIONS
For your 1st fight with Vierge, you really need to have AR Reparier equipped.

BOSS FIGHT
WANDKNIGHTS
700 HP each
Hopefully you listened to me and used a Beam Coat. Concentrate on one enemy at a time. A level 1 deathblow will do the trick. I recommend Reppu (causes 480 damage).

 

BOSS FIGHT
CLAWKNIGHT, SWORDKNIGHT, AEGISKNIGHT
600 HP, 700 HP, 700 HP
Eliminate the red knight then the yellow first. The red is the most destructive of the three. Use level 1 deathblows to get them. Your goal is to have more than 1800 HPs left when facing Vierge, the next boss. Don't use booster because you won't have the chance to restore your fuel until after the battle with Vierge.

 

SUBMISSIONS
Then, in the last fight before Elly herself, you fight three gears (it was so long ago I can't remember the names).  Anyway, one of the gears tries to lower your DEF (again, to no avail).  Totally ignore that gear, since he can't lower your DEF and his attacks are just plain wimpy. Instead, focus your attacks on the other two.  After that's done, charge up your gear until you have most or all of your fuel left, then smash the last gear.  You should have enough HP's and fuel to handle Elly with little worry.

BOSS FIGHT
VIERGE
2500 HP
By this time you should have at least 1800 HPs left. Vierge has this powerful attack called Aerods which is really destructive. She will launch them about 4 times and they cause 300+HP damage per attack. Plus you have to keep in mind that she does other attacks other than the 4 Aerods. She is fast so <X> attacks might miss occasionally. Reppu, one of your deathblows can cause 400+ damage to her so use them.

Oh no, another sequence! After, you'll find yourself back to the Fixbot standing by the memory cube. Talk to him. You may want to restore the fuel of your gear and buy some character items like the Aquasol and Rosesol. Buy some Omegasol, too. They're cheap and they will restore your HP and EP to full but they may only be used when not battling. Save your game! You don't want to fight them again, do you? Head /NORTHEAST\ and climb to the top.

TIPS ON ENEMIES

Edelweiss -- An enemy with lots of HP. Kill this thing with your <X> attacks and a Reppu deathblow. You'll most likely get a Fang after the battle which you may sell to Maison.

When you get to the topmost part, go to the light and actually, you have to hit the wall for a sequence to begin. You're in a familiar place again. After the sequence, save your game at the nearby memory cube. Once in control of Bart, climb up the ladder. A sequence follows. Now you'll be in control of Bart.

Exit the room. Another sequence follows.
