Xenosaga: Episode 1 Cheats

If you are not properly prepared, she can be one of the hardest Bosses in the game. Minita is first available when the Kukai Foundation is under attack by the Gnosis, and resides in Sector 26 above the Iron Man Bar. To get to her, you have to first lower the overhang above the entrance to the Iron Man Bar. Next, go to Our Treasure Inn, climb to the second floor, and exit to the catwalk. Go to the right until you find a pile of junk, which can be destroyed to reveal an Ether Upgrade S. Once there, jump off the side and work your way across the overhangs until you can enter the archway. Before going in, arrange your party with all female characters and have a battle formation with Shion behind Kos-Mos, and MOMO in the front to the side. If possible, use tech points on Kos-Mos to allow her to use her R-Cannon each turn, and whichever of MOMO's long range attacks you use, because Minita is flying in the air. Having Chaos's Healing Dew on Shion is good, because the higher healing of Medica is not recommended for this battle. Also, put Attack Poison Guards on everyone so that you will not waste turns to cure it. Also, Minita can lock Circle with her attacks, making it impossible to do a tech attack until that character is healed. If you choose to use male characters, you will have things considerably difficult because Minita does not like men. She will counterattack and use her Bibo's summon far more often when they attack. Minita has 7777 HP and her main attacks are Dark Star, which hits for around 300 HP and can knock party members back. Her other attacks are the two forms of Bibo which she summons to either hit the entire party for one quarter of their current hp, or the far worse one which takes all but one character's current HP and adds it to Minita's health. To combat this. try to keep your characters HP at about 400 so that they can survive Minita's Dark Star attack, and limit her ability to drain large amounts of HP from your characters. This battle is also hindered by the fact you cannot use AGWS, and Shion's robot attacks almost always miss. When Shion has a free turn, try to use her Queen's Kiss to steal Minita's rare item called the Craft Apron, which is very valuable. The best strategy is to constantly use Kos-Mos' and MOMO's long range tech attacks and have Shion heal the characters to keep them alive, but not higher then 500 HP. Due to the evasion of Minita, you will miss frequently and do low damage when you hit. Keep at it for a while, and as long as Minita drains less HP than the damage you inflict, she will die sooner or later giving MOMO her Dark Scepter attack.

When you are onboard the Elsa, before the ship is attacked, you can speak to the repair robot in the A.G.W.S. hangar. He mentions that he is the hardest worker, and that while he was cleaning one of the cabins he lost his key to the Slide Deck. The key can be found on the couch in the lounge of Cabin 2 (the southern-most cabin).
