I really enjoyed the game as much as I enjoyed several other titles in the same genre. I usually write spoiler free faqs but I need to make this one an exception. So, if you hate spoilers, proceed with caution. You have been warned. I can't guarantee that this would be a 100% guide to everything about the game but at least I will try to address what I can. Also, should you have questions don't hesitate to email me. I will try my best to reply personally to you as soon as possible. Any questions already addressed in this faq will not be entertained unfortunately. Also, you can check out other helpful faqs as well from other authors. I also recommend posting questions in gaming boards. Note also.. that there are some missions that can really frustrate out of you and you may seem to get stuck. Just remember to get the best parts you can afford and tune your AC as situation requires. And also, try not to vent your anger in your controller, ok? I almost shattered controller once. XD Have fun! ========================= [ABOUT THE GAME - SYPNOSIS] ========================= Story begins after now defunct NAVIS CORPORATION's failure on recovering ancient weapons technology. The world is left with destruction on its wake. Three major corporations set rivalry aside to form a mega-corp named as the "ALLIANCE". A Raven known as Jack-0 stands up against the oppressive rule of the alliance, and forms an rather small but elite association of Ravens known as "VERTEX". Jack - 0 declares an all out war within 24 hours with the Alliance. Evangel, a Raven aligned to the Alliance gathers other Ravens to fight for the alliance side and to fight Vertex head on. To further complicate matters, independent warlords join the fray, attacking both sides. You have 24 hours. Your actions will determine your fate and how it ends. Player plays as an independent Raven caught in the conflict. You have the choice to complete mission requests issued by opposing parties. The missions you do will determine the ending of the game. There are multiple mission paths that lead to six endings. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ============================== [ABOUT THE GAME - ORGANIZATIONS] ============================== ALLIANCE -- A mega corporation formed by former rival companies Crest, Mirage and Kisaragi. They say that they're trying to rebuild the world to its normal state but Jack-0 deemed them as an oppressive tyrant. The Alliance has number superiority in the upcoming battle. ALLIANCE TACTICAL UNIT -- The military arm of the Alliance, its primary task is to defend the Alliance HQ and the suppression of Vertex and other independent warlords. Headed by a Raven named Evangel. CREST INDUSTRIES -- 2nd largets corporation after Mirage, Crest exerted tremendous influence during the pre-Alliance days. They are known for manufacturing a diverse range of high quality weaponry at reasonable costs, and also some of the era's best MT units. KISARAGI -- A technological innovator during its time, Kisaragi is always at the forefront of new inventions and breakthroughs. The company's research and development department was extremely successful in solving difficult problems and created many innovative AC-related parts. KISARAGI LOYALISTS -- A group of scientists loyal to Kisaragi as a diffrent and separate entity. They are known to continuing experiment with bio-weapons which Kisaragi originally started in a secret facility. MIRAGE -- The largest of the big 3 companies. The parts and weaponry developed by the company successfully incorporated many new technological advancements, making them extremely popular. NAVIS Corp -- tried taking the military weaponry market by introducing products that incorporated a new resource they discovered. They ceased after the unmanned suicide weapons attack. They are also responsible for developing Circ-City and its surrounding areas. RAVENS -- an Elite group of mercenaries carrying out special assignments requested by the highest bidder using thier ACs (Armored Core) machines. They only follow themselves in battle. RAVEN'S ARK -- Organization used to emply and manage all Ravens around. It stood on equal footing with the corporations and guaranteed each Ravens' independence. They ceased after the unmanned suicide weapons attack. VERTEX -- An small group of Ravens formed and lead by Jack-0. Although limited in numbers, they have elite Ravens in thier ranks. Vertex declared an all-out war against the Alliance within 24 hours. (further info can be accessed in-game) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ================================= [ABOUT THE GAME - MAJOR CHARACTERS] ================================= JACK-0 -- Pilot of AC FOXEYE and leader of Vertex. He is 3rd ranker in Raven's Ark arena. He formed Vertex to topple the Alliance, requiring the aid of some Ravens and thier ACs. During the game he requests missions to eliminate some Ravens in his ranks. His real intention remain uncertain. EVANGEL -- Pilot of AC ORACLE and commander of ATU, Alliance's military arm. ZINAIDA -- Pilot of AC FASCINATOR and is known as the most skilled independent Raven around. She doesn't have any alignments on either sides and basically fights to survive. SHEILA CALDWELL -- The player's manager and operator. She was once the director of Mirage's Information Department but quit after the unmanned weapons attack. She assists the player by providing real-time mission critical updates and status. ED WEISZ -- A military researcher who gathers and analyzes information for Ravens. He used to do this for the corporations before but now assists you on getting details about mission requests. (further info can be accessed in-game) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ =============================== [ABOUT THE GAME -- GENERAL NOTES] =============================== MULTIPLE ACs - As soon as you start a new game, you will have 5 ACs for use. You can access them from the garage then press SQUARE. They have default names (AC01-05) and of course default parts. The good thing about having ang setting up multiple ACs is that you can have one AC specific for an assigned combat scenario. For example you can setup one AC for long range battle only, equipped with long range weapons, fcs, etc. Or better, you can also create an AC made specifically against another enemy AC. Another good point about this is that all your ACs CAN share the same parts, as long as you purchased the part or unlocked it already. But take note that when the part shared by your ACs are broken completely, it will be unequipped from all the ACs sharing the part. You need to manually re-equip it again after purchasing it. PART DAMAGE -- During the heat of a really intense battle, individual parts take damage and affect your AC's performance significantly. There are 3 levels of part damage. YELLOW - Damaged part will lose 50% of its performance such as cooling, turning ability etc. RED - Damaged part will lose 75% of its performance and the delayed responses can be noticed obviously. COMPLETE - The part will be blown off, losing the part completely. So far the parts that can be blown off would be the heads and arms. Losing an arm loses the weapon equipped on it while losing the head will affect the Ac's radar functions and VS ECM ratings. A completely blown core will of course completely destroy the AC and fortunately, the legs remain intact but the AC's mobility is affected drastically. Back units and extensions remain intact. A blown part cannot be reequipped again, you need to repurchase the part and tune it as necessary. TUNING -- Heads, Cores, Arms, Legs, Generators and Radiators can be individaully tuned to enhance the part and hence, the overall AC performance. Do not use the same setup (if you play racing games, you should know this) on every mission. If you have troubles on completing a mission, use a diffrent setup. Time spent on tuning your AC is worth spending than retrying the mission over and over again. PARTS -- You can change individual parts on your AC, to improve overall performance. You need to purchase them first before you can equip them. Take note of the weight limit of your AC. Overall weight is determined by the legs while the arms weight is determined by the core. An overweight AC can still fight, however boost, jump and mobility drastically. SO, you can't just equip your AC with some really cool heavy arms without sacrificing some attributes. -Optional parts improve your stats and gives additional abilities, purchase them whenever you can. They use up slots, and the number of slots depends on the core currently equipped. -You unlock additional parts by defeating VR ARENA opponents and completing specific story missions. -Take note of your energy level and cooling. Energy weapons consumes some of your energy level when firing rounds, using your boost, laser blade, and some particular backup weapons and extensions. Also, if your AC's cooling system is not good, its easy for it to overheat thus causing energy drop as well. Its recommended to balance these two. BATTLE -- Always be on the move. Staying still will make you an easy target and could end the battle quickly. Certain tactics apply on the specific battle terrain. VR TEST ARENA Whenever you equip a new part or try a diffrent setup, test your AC first on the test arena. Its the best way to hone your AC's overall performance by testing the diffrent modes available. Its a great place to test your piloting skills (which you will really gonna need) INFORMATION -- DO check any new emails and world events notifications you get after every mission. These will give you all needed info on what's currently happening the game's timeframe. (with the exception of the same redundant emails you'll get when you're repeating missions) ENEMY AC AI's No matter how good your setup maybe, the enemy AI is designed to be tuned with a setup that is against yours. Example, if your AC is a heavyweight biped with low mobility, your enemies will use lighter and faster ACs to frustrate you. In these scenarios is where your AC piloting skills are tested. So, make sure that you have a fairly well-rounded AC to the test. Another thing to note is the OP-I part EXCLUSIVE only to enemy Ravens. There is NO way to obtain to part unfortunately. This part allows enemy Ravens to fire back weapons without any restrictions. (which gives them rather innate advantage of using back weapons while hovering accross the field) RANKING -- To obtain an S rank on a mission, consider the following factors: TIME -- how quick you finish the mission COSTS -- the repair and ammo cost needed after the mission REMAINING AP -- remaining AP of the AC PARTS BROKEN -- deduction when a part is broken ACCURACY -- rating of how many shots are fired vs shots that landed. Keep in mind that some parts needs to be unlocked by obtaining an S rank in the mission. S ranking a mission may vary in difficulty of course. HANGAR UNITS -- Though these sub weapons give additional weight and drain, they can be pretty useful when your main weapon runs out of ammo. In any case that the main weapon is out of ammo, DROP it. This will unload some weight and enable you to use the hangar unit equipped. You can use this as long as your setup allows you to do so. EXPLOSION DAMAGE After defeating an enemy AC/MT or just simply stomping over vehicles, move away from them. The explosion can cause damage to your AC. MAP -- Make good use of it. Green dots are your allies. The yellow line around the mission area is your warning and the red line when crossed completely leaves the area and fails the mission. Enemies are color coded based on elevation. Blue dot is for enemies on higher ground, Red for the same level and Yellow for lower-ground enemies. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ =========== [WALKTHROUGH] =========== There are six diffrent endings and end bosses. I will indicate wether the mission is EASY, NORMAL, HARD, VERY HARD. Missions will be based on the time frame they occur. Also, there are hidden parts located in the mission areas. I will try to describe thier location as clear as I can. Also, note that there are other missions not covered by any of the paths. You need to restart your game to get to them. I suggest taking either Jack-0 and Pulverizer 1. There are lesser hard missions and you can get used to the actual controls (for newbs) and gain enough credits to upgrade parts. Not to mention the parts you'll acquire while completing the path. The paths are named after the final bosses you'll encounter. There are also some stray mission requests not basically covered by any paths. The paths are the following: Pulverizer (1) Leviathan Pulverizer (2) Evangel Zinaida Jack-O As you finish the routes, you will be able to view diffrent ending movies during the credits screen. Not much, just wanna mention it. Just use the CTRL+F function by copying the mission's code then searching it. Its better than scrolling up and down.

Accessed through FREE MISSION option. ---------------------------------------------------- ==== 08:00 ---------------------------------------------------- DESTROY MILITARY BASE [0800A] Requester: Vertex Operation Area: Camp Fortherd Objective: Destroy the installation Reward: 0c (Reward will be based on the results) Actual Time: 08:11 SUMMARY: Involves attacking a poorly defended military installation. The reward will be based on the results (damage inflicted) ENEMIES: ZEKUH, soldiers EASY: Destroy everything you see and can lock unto. Tents and trucks can be run over. You can just blade the beams and inside the building. Choppers will arrive soon, just shoot them down until time runs out. PART(S): WH05M-SYLPH (RARM) -- Inside the crate on the 2nd level of the unfinished building. ----------------------- ELIMINATE INTRUDERS [0800B] Requester: Vertex Operation Area: Old Nire Industrial Area Objective: Eliminate the intruders Reward: 60,000c Actual Time: 08:03 SUMMARY: An unknown force invaded the Industrial Area of Circ-City. Although small in number, they need to be dealt with firmly. Eliminate all intruders. ENEMIES: MT08-OSTRICH, CR-MT85M EASY: Another easy mission. Boost towards the first Ostrich and destroy it. Now head right and eliminate the other two targets. Reinforcements will arrive from your starting position. Head back and intercept them. Shoot them as you near them then just use your laser blade to kill them quickly. PART(S): RASETSU -- From your starting position, turn back and jump in the arch above the large hatch. I recommend just tracing this back after defeating the the Ostrichs since you will fail the mission if they escape. If you can get the weapon quickly, then it should be not a problem. -------------------------- DISTRIBUTION CENTER RECON [0800C] Requester: Alliance Headquarters Operation Area: Diorgan Distribution Center Objective: Investigate the enemy facility. Reward: 136,000c Actual Time: 08:20 SUMMARY: An Alliance facility has been overrun. You will be sent to conduct a reconnaisance. Feel free to eliminate enemy targets ENEMIES: CR-MT77M, CR-MT83RS VERY HARD: If this is your first mission then good luck. A starter AC is no match for him no matter how good your piloting skills are. Take note of the dual LX cannons in his back. These are really powerful pair of laser cannons that can break parts easily. Thundestrike is a killer machine in close combat and in your current situation, it would be best to avoid him for your first path. I would recommend to deal with him after you beaten at least one or two paths, so that you can have better paths and overall AC performance. HARD: Avoid fighting him in close combat. You need to have good mobility here. A lightweight leg and arm would do. Tune energy defense for the head,core and leg part to max, aim accuracy for the arm, booster heat for booster, normal cooling for the radiator and energy output for the generator. For an FCS, I recommend using the VOLUTE 2. And equipping dual weapons will, preferably SHADE (my favorite) and GAST. Choose your optional parts for higher defense, stability and increasing sight lock. PART (S): CR-WBW78R -- Behind one of the generators in your right (when facing Bolt initially) JIKYOH -- Defeat Bolt / AC THUNDERSTRIKE ---------------------------------------------------- ==== 10:00 ---------------------------------------------------- ESCORT ALLIED MT [1000A] Requester: Independent Warlord Operation Area: Hordess Mining Site Objective: Escort MT ally to safety. Reward: 80,000c Actual Time: 10:01 SUMMARY: An MT squad has been sent by an Independent warlord and is trapped in the site. They need help on escorting one of thier MT's to safety. Enemies: U03M-TERMITE EASY: You need to escort the MT to the tunnel's end. Just stay close to your target since Termites crawl down from the open areas after you passed them. Your lase blade should be powerful enough to kill them in one hit and also avoid friendly fire. On the tunnel's end, the last swarm of termites will crawl down from the mountainside, just get rid of them to finish the mission. ------------------------ ACQUIRE THE COMMODITY [1000B] Requester: Jack-O Operation Area: Hordess Mining Site Objective: Acquire the commodity. Reward: 0c Actual Time: 10:18 SUMMARY: Jack-0 requests you to get the commodity promised by a warlord. ENEMIES: MT08H/M-OSTRICH, CR-MT98G, CR-MT85B NORMAL: Destroy the MT's you encounter. On the end of the tunnel you will face an AC... Start the battle by entering the tunnel. To avoid loss of AP, play hide and seek with him. Peek a bit from the tunnel and hit him with you weapon as soon as you get a lock on. A GERYON cannon is recommended for fair range. Just repeat the steps to win. PART(S): CR-YWH05R3 (LARM) -- complete mission YWH07-DRAGON (LARM) --reward by defeating boss AC -------------------- DESTROY AC SUNDIAL [1000C] Requester: Vertex Operation Area: Versurs Highland Objective: Destroy AC Sundial Reward: 64,000c Actual Time: 10:14 SUMMARY: This AC has been a thorn for Vertex for quite sometime now. You need to deal with her to bring a serious blow to Alliance's ranks. ENEMIES: ZEKUH, AC SUNDIAL VERY HARD: You will have a hard time if this is your starting path. This AC is a hover type which gives her mobility, making it easier for her to evade your shots and land successful hits on you. Not to mention that there a couple of ZEKUH choppers above that adds frustration since they keep on tracking you with thier machine guns. Oh, I forgot to mention that she is utilizing an OB core, enabling her to overboost to safety and get into good shooting position. You need to be really good on evading missiles. She got a lot of them. You need to have a setup that deals with mobility and some solid shell defense. Not to mention a wide FCS. She doesnt fly that much so just keep pace with her. You need to tune max cooling for head, core, legs and radiator. Max the booster speed, then condensor capacity for the generator. Remember to concentrate on her, ignore the choppers for the meantime. She has a reloadable WYRM sniper rifle to take you out adistance and a PIXIE2 machine gun for close combat. It is recommended to equip dual weapons since it is nearly impossible to blade her. If you confront her for the first time, then I recommend doing your best and if you can't beat her still, try beating an easier path. Just don't stand still and eat up those missiles. PART(S): WH10M-SILKY (RARM) --reward by defeating boss AC --------------------- REMOVE BRIDGE DEFENDERS [1000D] Requester: Evangel Operation Area: Ruga Tunnel Objective: Eliminate the enemy defenders. Reward: 60,000c Actual Time: 10:10 ENEMIES: CR-MT83RS, MT08H-OSTRICH SUMMARY: The Alliance Tactical Unit needs you to secure a vital transport route by eliminating enemy forces guarding the bridge. EASY: You need to take out a total of 5 MTs. A sniper rifle is helpful but not necessary in this mission. Just take out all the enemies to complete the mission. Just be careful on jumping from one bridge to another. ---------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- ==== 12:00 ---------------------------------------------------- ELIMINATE ENEMY AC [1200A] Requester: Independent Warlord (No Data) Operation Area: Area-R11 AC Garage Objective: Eliminate the enemy AC. Reward: 104,000c Actual Time: 12:16 ENEMIES: AC SOUTH NAIL / AC BULLET LIFE SUMMARY: Mission request comes from an independent warlord involving the elimination of an AC that is attacking thier facility. No further information was provided by the client. (VERY) VERY HARD: As indicated above you will face two ACs. But fortunately not at the same time. You will face them one at a time but hey, it still bad news. I wouldnt recommend this path for your first playthrough. Try tuning your head, core, legs and radiator to max cooling, accuracy for the arms, booster heat for the booster and energy output for the generator. Again, mobility is needed here. You may want to equip some decoy pods and some missiles. For the FCS, use the VOLUTE2 since it has a good lock-on time. You need to beat these guys in a damage race. Genubi is a reversed-legged bipe that has a Linear rifle (that has fair amount of knockback power) and a sniper rifle. He also have some micro-missiles that can be avoided by using buildings for cover. One weakness of Genubi is that he needs to stop to fire his linear or sniper rifle. You have a split-second to react and evade the shot, giving you an open shot to hit him. He can be annoying since he loves to leap around the place. The structures around you can be either helpful or not. Its good to have a mobile AC here since you will need to do a lot of boosting around. After defeating him, you will have another cutscene. If you're almost dead when you reach this point, consider yourself dead with... Rim Fire. This Quad is equipped with dual FINGERS. This guy can actually fly while raining a thousand bullets at you. Your best bet is to lure him between/near the buildings so that you can have more chances to hit him. Most of the time, he will get stuck but will stay there. Try not to get caught yourself. Also, the SYLPH back cannons he has actually has can add more threat to you. Even if its not that powerful, its a fair addition to his arsenal. DO NOT FIGHT THIS BOSS IN CLOSE COMBAT. The FINGERS can chip away a lot of HP in a really fast speed. Stay away from him and use decoy pads or missiles as needed. Good Luck. If not, just plan your revenge after you finish at least one path. PART(S): B04-BIRDIE2 --from the starting point look for the container nearest to the mountainside. Its not that obvious. YH15-DRONE (H) --defeat AC SOUTH NAIL WH03M-FINGER (LARM) --defeat AC BULLET LIFE ------------------------------ RECAPTURE STORAGE SITE [1200B] Requester: Alliance Tactical Unit Operation Area: Walter Material Storage Site Objective: Eliminate all invaders Reward: 80,000c Actual Time: 12:22 ENEMIES: MT09ROE-OWL, CR-MT85B/BP, CR-MT98G SUMMARY: The facility plays a vital role for the Alliance, and must be protected. Several enemies made it inside and the Alliance Tactical Unit wants them eliminated. EASY: This is pretty much the reverse path of the "Pursue Withdrawing MT" mission. A rifle and a blade would pretty much do the job here. Take care of the enemies along the way. The commander is on the last door, with a couple of CR-MT98Gs as bodyguards. Kill them all to complete mission. PART(S): WB21M-DRYAD --above the commander's room, in the topmost level. ------------------------------ PURSUE WITHDRAWING MT [1200C] Requester: Alliance Tactical |
