Well met my friend. What call for excitement is there? Lo, it is the release of a competent shmup on the DS. Nanostray 2 is a surprising game. While Nanostray was a good game in its own right, Nanostray 2 takes steps to innovate the design, to tweak the system. Here I had thought that developers didn't have the stones to do this anymore. While you get a similar experience to the first game, it is different enough to make it a worthwhile sequel. Beyond that, it's a quality game. It's an easier game than a lot of intensive shmupers will be used to, however it is at least accessible to a wider array of people here. And to those of us who do play shmups frequently, it seems to pay homage to old shmups and shmup themes. I can't say for sure that's what they were going for, but it definitely gives that impression. Moreover, I am happy that a game like this got released on the Nintendo DS, which is in definite need of more games like this. This doesn't have the benefit of a longtime fanbase of something like Contra 4, but that's all the more reason to support Nanostray 2. Because we need more games like this. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | NS2: Gameplay | -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Nanostray has three control sets. Control Set A: -Classic- Control Pad: Movement A: Primary Attack B: Secondary Attack L and R: Satellite Position Start: Pause Control Set B: -Right-Handed Touch- Slide Touch Screen: Movement Control Pad: Primary Attack L: Secondary Attack Tap Touch Screen: Satellite Position Start: Pause Control Set C: Slide Touch Screen: Movement A: Primary Attack B: Secondary Attack Tap Touch Screen or L/R: Satellite Position Start: Pause The touchscreen controls may or may not be your cup of tea. You will need to practice and to hold your hand in a way that it _won't_ obscure the screen. This is the biggest issue with touch control, though it -is- surprisingly responsive. Give it a shot and it may turn out useful when you have to do dodging challenges and the ilk, if not in the main game. But as you can see, the controls are very simple. I kind of wish you could customize them because I prefer Y and B over A and B, but c'est la vie. I am content with the fact that controls are the controls of a shmup, ha... Before each stage you have the opportunity to pick a subweapon. These will prove invaluable so pick wisely. You can also edit the position of your satellites from here. By selecting one of the satellite boxces, you can use L and R to move them within here. You can make, for instance, your backwise satellites tighter or more spread, and so on and so forth. This is an excellent feature and I urge you to experiment with it. There is a nanogauge now too, which counts down the time between enemies destroyed. The more enemies you can destroy without running the gauge down, the better it is for your score. Each level has a sub boss and a boss. You must fly from one end of the stage to the next, and defeat these bosses. There are eight levels in total. Unlike the typical arcade shooter, you have achoice of order to do some levels in. Stages 2, 3, and 4, as well as 5, 6, and 7 are two sets that you may make your choice. In the end, it doesn't matter what order you do them in, but if you do the easier levels - or those _you_ have an easier time with - last it may at least keep you fresh. When the eight level is conquered, you can watch the ending - though there is still plenty to do in the other modes. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | NS3: Weapons and Items | -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Nanostray 2 differs from the first game in that you can only select a secondary weapon an dnot a primary. This may seem like a letdown at first but it's no big deal. Since you pick your secondary before the stage this time around, you don't want to get stuck with a poor primary for the situation. A standardized primary thus helps. The lack of a Side gun was distressing at first, there are some situations that it would come in very handy. However, this is solved partially by satellites. They are weaker, but in some ways more versatile. ---Items--- When you destroy an enemy or enemy wave, an item may be released. Yellow Coin: Released en masse by large enemies, collect for points. Blue Coin: Released after a wave has been downed. They will slightly refill your secondary weapon's power meter. 1-Up: Released after a wave has been downed and you have 1 life left. Satellite: The first two waves you destroy will release these glowing orbs. Each one provides one Satellite. ---Weapons--- *Satellites: ---------- Satellites are the "options" of Nanostray 2 and are extremely useful. They not only increase the rate of fire, but two satellites firing also increases the volume. They allow you to hit larger targets with more concentrated fire or conversely - multiple smaller targets. The versatility comes from being able to change their position around the ship. o o o > > > o o o 1 2 3 You have three stored positions. The default positions are tight in the front, straight up and down, and loose in the back. You can change these in the weapon select mode. Select the box showing position and manipulate it with L and R so that you have three optimal positions. You can change direction while firing, so remember which direction L and R or whatever you're using provides, so that you can switch on the fly. *Pulse: ----- Power: Low Usage: Pulse has a long range and low usage, but its power leaves much to be desired for larger targets. While a concentrated beam may be useful for a boss or miniboss, it might not be enough to fend off larger enemies before they fly away. That's fine, however, as Pulse is more useful for groups of small enemies. You can sweep the screen with pulse and so it is useful for taking out some waves before they draw near. It uses less power than Raydion, but is only truly useful for crowd control at a distance. *Seeker: ------ Power: High Usage: 25% Seeker was easily the best choice in nanostray (imo of course) and it's still a force to be reckoned with here. Seeker fires two bolts of energy that home in on a target. The destructive power is immense, and it can take out most large targets with a single attack. The problem arises whehn there is more than one target onscreen. You will need to be relatively close to the target or at the very least have only one onscreen so that it does not strike a smaller target by mistake. It does immense damage, and it seems like a fire and forget weapon. It isn't, Seeker is deadly in experienced hands but you have to take care with it to use it properly. *Raydion: ------- Power: Low Usage: Raydion is an awesome crowd control weapon though it very rapidly drains your power reserves. It surrounds your ship in an electrical field, which damages any enemy that comes in contact with it. For smaller ships, this means death. When your SHN fighter is surrounded with Raydion, you can use yourself as a ram of sorts. Fly through small ships to rapidly destroy them. If only a few are coming near you, simply tap the button and a brief surge of electricity should down them. The downside is against large targets, which will require a fair bit of juice to down. Keep this in mind. You may take out one large ship, but you won't take out the fleet. Also, getting really close to some bosses isn't always the most atractive option. *Ion Strike: ---------- Power: High Usage: Ion Strike might just have the greatest destructive potential. Hold the button to send it out, and release to explode. The explosion is very powerful, and can hit multiple targets. It can also travel through surfaces. This, of course, is the advantage over Seeker besides the lower power usage. If you can master Ion Strike, it is a deadly tool indeed. Of course, it travels only on one plane and you need to direct it personally. This is the downside. If you have to direct this device for any length of time, then your attention maybe should have been elsewhere. You don't want to be downed because you weren't concentrating on more than your target. That's a paramount skill if you are using Ion Strike - to be able to consider the whole screen while being accurate with your strike. *Shock Mines: ----------- Power: Usage: Shock Mines are mines launched directly ahead of your ship that do reasonable damage. They explode in the vicinity of an enemy. Shock Mines are most udeful in levels you are familiar with, you can release one when you know something is coming, so that it is either destroyed or so suficiently damaged that your primary weapon will down it soon anyways. The splash damage is not tremendous on shock mines, and you probably won't take out a full wave with a single mine. *Spin: ---- Power: Usage: The spin gun shoots a purple bolt that will dance between enemies - briefly. For larger enemies, it will typically stay on top of it until it is totally destroyed. This sounds like it could be useful, though the bolt will typically destroy only a few enemies before exhausting its power, and to take out a larger target it probably -will- deplete its entire supply. I'd say pick another subweapon unless you _know_ this one is going to help. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | NS4: Stages | -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This walkthrough is for helping people through the game, and applies for Normal difficulty. It -won't- help you get the bests core. That's a competitive area, my friend, and it only matters if you do it yourself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NS4.1: Teppeki Dock ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Orientation: Horizontal When the level begins, stay near the bottom. When the small ships appear, head up while firing at them. The junk here can be destroyed, but right now it is more important to snag a satellite. Be prepared for the next wave at the top, grab your next satellite then weave down between the refuse - destroy it if possible - and meet the wave heading down and left. Stay central as the enxt wave appears from the background, and shoot them as they appear. A large ship will appear below you. There will be three in total in this area. Rather than using your secondary weapon on this ship, get right in front of it and blast away with your primary - pulling back when it gets closer. Take out the next two the same way, taking the time of course to destroy the waves that appear. You might have to use a secondary ont he third if you really want to blow it up. Either way, you will arrive at a door. Shoot the red core on the door but don't get too close to it. A wave will arrive from the background so you will want to shoot them while you shoot the door. Stay near the door and switch your satellites to an upwards angle, so as to take out the two turrets here. Stay back though, as two waves appear from the background, and a third from the pit in front of you. When they are thus dispatched, there are large pipes blowing gas here. Wait and destroy the wave that appears just past it. Fly past the gas when it stops blowing, be quick. Stay near the gas until you destroy the next wave, however. It's probably best to switch to an upwards shot. Keep firing forward as you enter the tunnel. The wave from above will be firing all the while. When you get down to the two pipes whose streams criss-cross, move past the vertical stream. Take out the next wave, and blast open the door via its red core. ********Miniboss: Genken******** The miniboss is running along the floor when you come up upon it. Basically you have to stay near the same level it is toward the left side of the screen. The miniboss will fire streams of green bullets, and provided you're on Normal Mode, a red shot. This red shot can bounce off of walls. Essentially, it's best to stay just above Genken when its on the ground and just below when its on the ceiling. Your satellite should get most of the shots in. The red shot will be charged before fired, so you can get a premptive evade in - it will bounce to the left, fly away from Genken and towards it when the shot hits the wall. The green shots come more or less in straight lines - they should be cake to avoid. Just don't get near it because when it changes between floor and ceiling that could mean death. -=-=-Resume-=-=- After the miniboss, there will be a few slow-moving waves. Make sure you get them all to recharge your special meter if you used a secondary in that fight. Big ships are in the background, and one will fly into the lower part of the playing field. Strike it down, potentially with a secondary weapon, if you can, otherwise wait for it to fire before moving forward. Waves will appear from the bottom right, mid left, and top right. To get them all you will need to pick an upwards/downwards satellite position. Afterwards, large spinning enemies will appear. You will probably need a secondary weapon to take them down. Unless you want the points, it may be more economical to dodge their shots and focus on the waves that come with them. Switch to a more backwards shot at this point. Yellow ships travel vertically on the left and right of the screen. This way you can hit them on either side. This continues with the spinning enemies again, you may want to strike them down with a secondary so things don't get too hairy. You'll enter a vertical tunnel. This tunnel down is lined with turrets. Switch between front and back shots as you descend. When you approach a "T" shaped structure, fly around it. It is an obstacle. When you see the vertically arranged ships, switch to a frontal gun and strike those fools down. As you leave the tunnel, a wave approaches from behind. There's a few more to the front afterwards, so switch back to a frontal shot. Now, your SHN-Fighter starts to travel up again. You will see somne lasers firing and stopping, firing and stopping. When the bottom array of lasers stops, fly beneath the top array of lasers. When that top array of lasers stops, fly up and shoot the turrent. As you approach the smashing walls, stick to an upwards shot and destroy the wave that appears. Switch to forward and destroy the turret. Switch to forward for the next wave, then reverse for the turret. Switch to forward for the wave at the top, then reverse for the second one. ********Boss: Shokkoh******** Ah, a robot with lasers. You need to hit Shokkoh in the orb on the bottom of its body. Shokkoh starts by raising his arm. Now is the time to let loose with your secondary weapons on his orb. His hand will fire lasers, one from each finger, but you don't have to worry about that until he brings his hand down. At this point, stay back and dodge the lasers. The lower left corner is tight but does work well for this if you want to continue to get shots. Keep on firing at this orb. His arm will sprt a laser. Fly up next to his wires in his head and the laser will thus miss you. Make small movements closer so as not to hit the head but also so as not to be crushed by the arm. Shokkoh will next open his arms into a > shape. Stay between them, near the green. It fires many shots out of this array. When he moves forward, move with him. When he moves back, let him shoot one volley, then move out of his array and into the lower left. Dodge the next volley of shots as they come, but Shokkoh will crush his arms closed so don't go between them. It then switches it back up. Just learn to dodge the attacks properly and this will become second nature. And look on the bright side - it's more complex than some of the next few bosses. Want to score a lot of damage with your main gun? As long as you have a tight stream on your satellites, getting right next to the orb will very quickly increase the damage. This is best done when the laser finger arm is raising, get away when it starts to lower. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NS4.2: Keikan Outpost ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Orientation: Vertical Haul back to the bottom of the screen and take out the two waves that appear. The large ship that arrives releases multiple lasers and leaves. Take him out with a secondary if you so desire, but getting your satellites now is very important. Stay in the moddle of the screen now as more waves arrive. You could pick one of the big ships that arrive on the side and down it, but it's not ultimately important. The next big ship comes straight up the middle, however, so if you can't take one out quickly, dodge to the side. Take out the remaining waves to refill your secondary if you had to use it. As you enter the structure, there will be large structures moving back and forth. Retreat to the bottom of the screen and fire upon them until they are destroyed utterly. After their chamber there are some flamethrowers. Move past them after they fire and _when_ there is enough space at the top of the screen for your SHN-Fighter. After the flames, there will be some more mobile blockades. After these, switch to a sideways satellite position and take out the turrets on the right and waves on the left. Switch to a forward shot as you go around the corner with the waves on the right. Switch back to a forward spread and destroy the turret from below and the wave on the right. Switch back to side for the wave, if you must, but back to front for the blockades just ahead. As these blockades travel down at you, do not shy away from blasting the last one in your way with a secondary if you have to. When you're out of there, take out the waves but pay mind to the large ship. Dodge to the side if it gets the drop on you. Refill your secondary weapon on the multiple blue coins here. Keep a forward shot for the following blockades, and hit the turret with one of your side streams. Destroy the waves coming from above and before the fire at the bottom of the next wall can blow again, sneak onto the lefthand side. Shoot the turrets here with a side shot. I'd take the right on the next one normally, there's only one large ship here. If not, you have to pass some flamethrowers and waves, stay back until there's enough room for you on top, charge forward when they stop blowing, and stick to the far left. Pass teh next few flamethrowers as you just did. There will be some turrets on the lower wall, strike these down with the side cannon, but quickly change back to a forward shot to compensate for the waves that arrive here. ********Miniboss: Senten******** As the miniboss approaches, get in past his outer rim. Those black bars, by the way, will not destroy you. You can move all around the centre, important. Senten's core will spin. It has four guns that will fire as it spins. Move around the centre firing upon it while staying between the streams. Of course, change your satellite position as you go around. .---. .' B '. -When you are at the top, switch to a back shot. ' ' 'S S' -At the sides, switch to a side shot. ' ' '. F .' -And of course, a forward shot at the bottom. '---' When he stops firing the streams, get to 12 or 6 o'clock around him and get ready to dodge the shots from his outer rim cannons. There will be a little pie wedge that you can stay in that will move a bit. Stay here and concentrate on avoiding him until he starts his normal streams again. If you want to rack up serious damage with the primary weapon, switch to a forward shot and rest your satellites on top of its core. Fire away. Never let a gun in front of you, however, and if the outer rim cannons line up with you get out of the way right away. -=-=-Resume-=-=- There will be multiple waves now - take this as an opportunity to refill your special meter. The big ships arrive once more. Middle, sides, middle. When the waves come two by two, you will need to line up with at least one of them and use forward satellites to get both. Soon, you will enter a metal tunnel. After the first orange blocks there will be a wave or two, take them out but pay attention to the invincible spinning turrets. When it stops, pass it. Pick a side for the pait above. Stay between the guns on the turret proper until you are on their side. Let them stop, then pass to the north. Stay to the protected sides of the orange blocks for the next turret. Slip back in line after the block and fire at the turrets here. Switch to a side cannon now. As the cannons appear on the upper side of blocks, hit them with the side cannon. When they appear on the bottom, you can try the side, but taking out _one_ with the spread of a forward shot may be the best way. Either way, shift your fighter's position in line with the openings whenever you come to them. When it speeds up, you are leaving the wall turrets section. Stay at the back and fire like crazy at the blockades that approach. If you have to, use the orange blocks here as a shield as you take out only one side of them. It shouldn't be a huge issue though. ********Boss: Tessemi******** Tessemi crawls along the wall at the top of the screen. It's much more simple than Shokkoh, but keep an eye out. As it walks up and down, it fires many streams of bullets. It only shoots red bullets when it moves forward. The first burst usually has a stream that goes straight down the middle, so be sure to be to the side when it starts down at you. Otherwise, stay near the bottom and continually fire while making little shifts in position to dodge the green bullets slowly coming towards you. A little over halfway destroyed, it will begin to launch large green orbs at your ship. Stay still, then move when they appear. They move briefly, note your position, then fly at you. Work your way from one side of the screen to the other. Please beware when Tessemi goes down again, he will probably still do red shots. It does alternate back to green shots, so just keep up your pattern and it should fall. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NS4.3: Naizoh Habitat ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Orientation: Horizontal There will be many blue cell enemies flying onscreen from the righthand side. Now, if you have Raydion, just give it a short burst whenever they get close. Otherwise, keep firing and dodging to the best of your ability, but stay near the bottom of the screen. There will be a wave of red cells down here. Destroy them for your first satellite. Get up a bit and destoy another wave for your second. Continually shoot these waves as they arrive, but after the cells, there will be giant maggots. These maggots don't pose much of a threat, however they are large and take up much of the screen. Either fire on them with the primary and dodge them when you have to or shoot them once witht he secondary. Anyways, the first maggot goes across the top, not too important. The second one goes from top to bottom, so it's a fair target. As the third arrives, you will have to contend with a ground crawler. these malformed husks crawl along the ground firing at your SHN-Fighter. Pump them full of lead though be sure to take out some waves as well. The third maggot goes to the right. As the fourth maggot arrives, a tusk will jutt out on the right side of the screen from the crater mark here. Stay back and fire on it, this will also take out the rolling enemy en route. A maggot will be travelling right, duck beneath it. Stay back and fire at the maggots going up and down in the pit just ahead. Destroy the waves of red cells but watch out for the crater here - it has a tusk. Stay back as you destroy the turrets, crawler, and tusks. At the end, there is a maggot so use your secondary. If you sneak past it, go up as there is a tusk on the bottom path - so you will likely be going up either way. There is an acid thrower at the bottom anyways, throwing jets of acid into the air. Instead, take the top path and destroy the top tusk after the acid jet. Once it is destroyed, switch to an up and down formation and destroy the turret on the ground. Switch back to a forward shot and take out the next tusks before the next acid geyser. Wait for the geyser to spit acid, then sneak on past. There will be large bone circles coming up. There is a gap in this circle, go inside of it. Stay near the top of it so the acid jet does not hit it. Use a forward shot for the first wave, then a backshot for the next two waves. Whever the bone circles open right, slip through to the next circle. The next wave, after the red structure, is a forward issue and the one following is for the backshot. As you head up, use an up and down shot for the two waves, the switch to a forward shot as you realign to go right. You will be assaulted from all sides by blue cells. Rapidly fire and rapidly switch between formations to keep them at bay. Raydion is extremely useful here. When you arrive at a tunnel, stay near the right of the screen, as the tusk doors close. ********Miniboss: Hishin******** Hishin walks forward. It spurts energy from the top and will now and then launch a rolling, bouncing enemy. Basically, the energy balls are "lobbed," that is, they ar esubject to gravity and travel in a parabola. As such, you can stay near Hishin and move back when it is on the ground, but when the screen shifts so it is on the top of the screen - get the hell away from it. Stay near the bottom and dodge the energy balls as they fall down. As for the bouncing rolling enemies, they make a distinct sound when they are lobbed. NEVER let Hishin close you in or else they will hit you with their shots OR themselves. Staying a distance here makes the fight longer but at least spares you some regrettable deaths. So pump it full of whatever you've got as it is fara way. When it moves forward switch to an up and down formation, then backwards and hit it as you pass it. Careful evasion is the name of the game here, and definitely use your secondary weapon to speed it up. -=-=-Resume-=-=- Keep a forward shot trained as you head right again. Destroy the waves, but adjust your position so you first take out the turret, and then the crawler. Stay near the back as you approach the large metal urchins. When they blow up they launch shots, so you will want room to dodge. You soon arrive at a wall, select an up and down shot here. Fire at the wave coming in fromt he small opening, but also the urchin and tusk above you. After the first two tusks, switch to a backshot and take out the next wave. Then switch back to an up and down shot. Train your shots on that big urchin, but switch position to meet those waves from the back when necessary. Switch to a backshot when the screens tarts to move right again. Take out the wave, the switch to a forward shot for the tusks and crawlers. Use a secondary shot on one if necessary but don't go crazy as the boss is just ahead. ********Boss: Mushikera******** Mushikera is pretty simplistic, though it may take you by surprise unless you pay attention. The weak spot is the eye in the middle of the wall. Mushikera will launch white orbs that expplode into a radially burst of shots when hit. The best thing to do is explode them at a distance so the shots are extremely thin when they get to you - easy to dodge then. When mushikera closes its eye, stay where you are until it opens it. It launches a wave of blue cells forward. If your secondary can't deal with them, dodge to the bottom of the screen. You need to stay in line with the eye until it starts firing, otherwise Mushikera seems to shoot a wider berth of shots. Basically, you have to pound it in the eye from the back of the screen until it is destroyed. The pattern is easy, though it can get hairy at times. Concentrate on evasion and it will eventually fall. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NS4.4: Shinkai Bay ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Orientation: Vertical Stay near the lower right and start hitting the waves as soon as they appear. Destroy these two lines and if the laser ships arrive, dodge and grab your two satellites. Three of these laser ships will arrive. They aim at your SHN fighter and launch some lasers. Make them aim, dodge, and return fire. Another set of waves like at the start will appear now. Great if you missed out on one of the satellites. A big yellow ship will arrive here, it shoots a spread shot forward. You can concentrate fire on this guy while staying at the bottom to dodge shots, or quickly down him with a secondary. After a few more waves, there will be three more laser ships. You have two satellites now so destroy them as they arrive and before they can fire. Get to the centre of the screen for the next wave, and you can stay here for the next three after this and before the turret. These turrets fire a wave of shots as they swivel to and fro. Keep a forward shot trained, and take it out. There is a laser turret on the left, but take out the wave from the right and the spread turret from above. Keep a forward shot trained on the waves as the screen starts to turn. Switch to a side shot and take out the turret and waves. When you see some blocks in the way, switch back to a forward shot and take it out. If you can do it quick enough, switch to a side shot and take out the laser cannon. Go left and there's some blocks ahead of you. Take them out with the forward shot. Keep firing as more block barriers show up. Stay forward. There will be robots here that aim and fire a few shots. Either hit them rapidly or use a secondary. THough that may be best used at the large yellow ship just past the robots. Take out the wave of two ships that comes up. ********Miniboss: Umihebi******** Umihebi is a mechanical sea snake that jumps out of the water and fires shots. Do __not__ waste secondary weapons on it unless you want to take it out fast. It is only on your plane briefly, meaning you have a small window to hit it each time. However, this miniboss is largely non-threatening so don't fire your secondary all helter skelter. When it jumps out of the water, fire at its head, then dodge to the side. The snake shoots stremas of red shots, and a starburst of green shots. Dodge the reds left and right, then stay between the green streams. Stay at the bottom of the screen and there WILL be enough room to dodge the reds again. You can stay at the bottom of the screen dodging left and right and get enough shots in to destroy it quickly. Otherwise, you can move everywhere giving yourself a wide berth and hit it only a few times during each repetition. -=-=-Resume-=-=- After the two laser ships, take the right path on the split. Switch to a side shot and destroy one of the blockade blocks coming up while destroying the wave to the right. Stay behind the wall as you head north. a turret rakes around in a circle with a large purple laser. stay behind the wall until it finishes. Take the righthand path up and destroy the ships on the left with a sideshot. Switch to a forward shot for the next bunch waves. Just after the next blockade, there will be another large laser cannon. Let it start around and head to the right of it. Take a side position for your satellites and destroy teh first wave. As youd estroy the second wave, move up between those closing walls. Keep an eye on the laser turrets, but switch to a forward shot and destroy the swivel turret. Start to destroy the long wave fromt he north and move up and in before the doors close, as you are destroying the wave. You again come up to some laser turrets. Switch to a side cannon and take out the first one on a wall shooting horizontally and the one shooting vertically. Try to destroy the third but don't worry too much about it, make it through the door above all else. With the moving laser turrets, destroy one then focus on the wave, move through the door. In here, stay between the streams of fire and whip through the door as soon as possible. Destroy the laser ship, dodge the turret, and you will be at a blockade again. Fire on it straight ahead. Keep firing at them but if they get too close blast them with a secondary. Switch to a sideshot as you emerge and take out the turret and waves. switch to a forward shot for the three laser turrets along the wall. Keep it up... ********Boss: Ishigani******** This awesome cool crab is making rap gestures with its claws. It's a shame to destroy this beacon of rad, but alas... that is the tragedy of Nanostray 2. Ishigani lets out a wave of red shots. Stay at the bottom of the screen and head away from the crab when he starts to fire. When the shots come close, fly between them. You may have to pass through two or three streams, but it's no problem if you give him a wide enough berth. When Ishigani stops firing rd shots, he will fire awesome golden lasers. These lasers bend towards your SHN-fighter and fly forward quickly. Stay near the bottom until the lasers bend then dodge away from them. If you keep firing all the while, Ishigani quickly falls. Though its attacks are constant, it is a large target and thus quickly destroyed. Its whole body is vulnerable, after all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NS4.5: Daitoshi Station ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Orientation: Vertical Start on the left and destroy the waves as they pop up. once this wave is destroyed, head over and destroy the next one. Collect both satellite power ups and destroy the next few waves, even switch to a side shot if you have to. Eventually, some larger ships will appear. These open their cannons and fire a spray of shots. They have a lot of endurance so you may want to use a secondary on them. HOWEVER, there are many so that soon gets expensive. Start shooting near them and move back. The ships that look like this: _____ / \ | | | _ | \ ( ) / \ | | / \| |/ \ / WIll fire a screen-length laser out. So gte out of their way when they get to the top. Dodge to the side and continue to pound them until they drop. After these laser ships, there will be a large missile ship. Stay back for this guy and use a secondary if you _must- but it's not necessary. Keep the shots up and dodge as the missiles fly toward you. There will be another missile ship after a few more waves of enemies. Again, stay near the back of the screen and you should be able to down it. A large structure will arrive. Keep a forward shot trained and stay near the left. Use its side spray (the side spray of the forward shot) to hit the two laser turrets ont he right hand side. Then begint o follow the path inward. Switch to a side shot and take out the turrets on the right then left. Simply pass them if you can't destroy them warly. You want to destroy the next guy asap as a large bullet spray ship will arrive shortly. Destroy it then focus on the big ship. Keep your shots forward and destroy the next few laser turrets. The forward mode will also allow you to take care of the approaching waves as well. Laser ships will arrive again, dodge their lasers, and focus ont he bullet sprayer that appears next. Get the waves as per usual. Keep your shots forward. Destroy the laser turret that appears on the left of the screen, then stay near the back of the screen - the two bullet sprayers should fall to you if you take them on from back here. As you enter the narrow passage, a missile ship will appear. Keep firing, but stay near the left wall so you can more easily dodge the missile. There will be quite a few waves now before the miniboss, so refill your secondary. ********Miniboss: Tembi******** Tembi is a humanoid robot. He has two main attacks - a green wave of shots and large energy balls. The balls of energy start slow then slope towards your ship and the green waves come in three waves of many bullets. Tembi will use the energy balls from two positions on the screen, then the green waves, then the balls, and so on. When Tembi uses the energy balls, get on the other side of the screen and fire at tembi. Move out of the way as the balls fly before you. So stop, dodge, stop, dodge, stop, dodge for each burst of three. For the green waves, stay at the other side of the screen, NOT in line with Tembi. Go between the bullets as they spread out, and as I said do not stay in line with Tembi - in case he flies toward you next. Throughout the fight, just keep dodging and firing. Adjust your satellites so that you are always aimed at Tembi. -=-=-Resume-=-=- Four waves will approach now. Use a forward shot for the first two, and a side shot for the remaining. Switch back to a forward shot and destroy the laser turret that appears on the righthand structure. As you enter the passage, start shooting yellow blocks and stay near the left. Do not worry about laser cannons, simply dodge the lasers and focus on the blocks. Keep firing on them and use a secondary if they get too too close. There will be laser ships appearing on either side of the screen now. Fly up next to them and shoot them down. Stay in the space they leave behind to avoid the lasers of the others. But do NOT use the topmost laser ship - waves will arrive between the two instances of laser ships here. There will be numerous waves now, clean up so your secondary is full for the boss. ********Boss: Ginyoku******** Ginyoku is a large, spinning boss. You will need to stay between its blades for much of the battle. Ginyoku alternates between two main attacks - a raking laser and a spread of bullets. When Ginyoku turns its blades on its sides, it is going to fire bullets. They kind of go like this: /\ || X While Ginyoku's spread isn't quite this wide, it does show the || X side from which bullets are spread out (X). ( ) X // X\\ X // X \\ \/ \/ When Ginyoku spins clockwise while firing a spread, stay up near the top of the blade oppiste the bullets' point of egress. When the boss spins counter clockwise, stay near the main body of Ginyoku and beneath the point of egress if possible. When Ginyoku has finished a spread it next goes to a laser rake. A laser will emerge from its body and rake across the screen. You need to get between the blade and the laser. Ginyoku's arm/ ------------/ '-._ '-._'-._ ( ) |
