WT01        Walkthrough
AC01        Old Miltia
You're probably wondering what has happened, as the story starts
on Old Miltia with only one familiar character.
Though it is impossible to see what is presently ahead, start to
the Save Point. Continue to the next area of Old Miltia. You'll
soon automatically lock on to a truck blocking the path, though
this can easily be removed by pressing the Square Button.
Continue destroying the obstacles along the way. Chaos and Cannan
eventually encounter an enemy A.M.W.S.
Pay attention to the Battle Tutorial. Xenosaga Episode II is much
different than Xenosaga Episode I. Continue through Old Miltia
after defeating the A.M.W.S.
Remove the obstacles but watch out for the trap centered on the
path. Blow up the various traps with an enemy near by, and then
quickly engage the targeted enemy in battle.
The second familiar character will eventually arrive. After the
curscene, access the Save Point. There are several obstacles in
the area ahead which can be removed to obtain a Revive S in the
Treasure Chest.
Approach the U-TIC Soldier and read through the Battle Tutorial.
After which, defeat the U-TIC Soldier.
There's a nearby obstacle blocking the doorway near the catwalk
above which can be removed to access Segment Address No. 14.
Approach the U-TIC Soldier to be given another Battle Tutorial.
There's a ladder directly ahead. There is a removable obstacle
ahead containing a Skill Upgrade D.
Continue to next area, but stick to the main path. You'll only
waste a headache by attempting to access the sealed entryway.
You'll be near the Ad Tower. You will probably recognize this
area from Gamespot.
Remove the obstacles, then continue to the next area, where a
familiar character arrives.
~ Boss Battle ~
HP: 1000             SC: N/A             Zone: N/A
This is somewhat similar to Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.
Monolith and Namco really start out strongly in Xenosaga
Episode II.
Start by setting on of your characters behind Margulis to
give you a slight advantage. Keep the second character on
the other side to prevent Margulis from turning around to
even the odds.
You'll want to be casting Boost preferrably quick through
the duration of the battle, as Margulis is extremely fast.
Stocking is also a necessity.
Margulis uses Defense Enhancers when low on Health. Using
the Stock will ensure a swift, but painful death.
Margulis will counter-attack with Coercion upon Completion
of the Boss Battle.
- - -
AC02        Second Miltia
Access the Save Point, then continue through the southern
entrance.
Start up the staircase and remove the obstacles which are
presently blocking the path. Continue through the eastern
corridor, then down the staircase.
Proceed through the channel and remove the barred gate at
the edge of the channel.
Descend to the surface below and ascend the ladder to the
upper ledge. Remove the obstacles in the distance. Search
for another ladder. Exit through to the next corridor.
Following the cutscene, break through the entryway. Start
by ascending the staircase. Continue down the corridor to
the upper area. Exit to return outside.
Start down the walkway and do not stop. Ascend the stairs.
You'll eventually be forced into a battle.
- - -
Quickly start down the walkway and avoid the sensors which
pass. There are plenty of side areas which you are able to
cover from the sensors.
Destroy the sealed entryway and access the Save Point. Use
the elevator to access the upper ledge. You'll encounter a
0-88 Libra.
~ Boss Battle ~
HP: 3360             SC: N/A             Zone: N/A
Move your strongest character behind the Libra. Keep
another strong character on the other side.
There's some strong attacks the 0-88 Libra will have
coming. You'll want to consider using Stock. This is
a necessity in Boss Battles.
The 0-88 Libra has attacks which can damage both the
party and a character individually.
Though the Boss Battle may be rather difficult, have
MOMO use Stock x 3, then continuously press Circle.
This will deliver significant damage.
- - -
Start towards the crane, then remove the obstacle of
which is attached to the crane. The arm of the crane
will then detatch, which allows you to cross towards
the ledge on the other side.
There's a removable obstacle ahead which can be used
to deactivate the security grid. You'll be forced to
battle an enemy.
Continue down the walkway, then to the structure. A
Save Point can be found inside.
Start through the western corridor, then ascend the
staircase quickly avoiding the mechanical enemies
which are following not too far behind.
~ Boss Battle ~
Scutum
HP: 4800             SC: N/A             Zone: N/A
Pikum
HP: 3360             SC: N/A             Zone: N/A
You're eventually attacked by Richard and one of
his subordinates.
You'll be fighting Scutum and Pikum through very
different circumstances. The 'Move' Ability will
not be available, and their strength can be very
overwhelming.
Fortunately, these two are very weak in defense.
Using Boost and Stock should be an advantage.
Scutum will cast Medica on Pikum when Pikum has
run low on Health. Due to this, Attack Scutum.
Regardless, when one has fallen, the other will
be simple to defeat.
- - -
AC03        Second Miltian City
Start down the eastern walkway past Agent Bunnie,
up the flight of stairs, up the escalator, then
search for Angelina. Angelina can be found near
Segment Address Door #6.
Inside is a Treasure Chest containing Secrey Key
3.
Start up the walkway to Moby Dick's Cafe. After
several cutscenes, return to the Second Miltian
City.
Start down the eastern walkway. Once back on the
Second Miltian Map, enter the Uzuki Residence.
AC04        U.M.N. Control Center
After several cutscenes at the Uzuki Residence,
start towards the U.M.N Control Center.
Start towards the centralized chamber. Continue
down the corridor in the distance and through a
set of doors on the eastern wall.
Watch the cutscene, then return to the corridor.
Backtrack to the previous area, then through to
the eastern room to encounter Ziggy.
Back in the centralized chamber, MOMO awaits in
the western chamber, across from where we were
at previously.
You'll be stopped by Allen shortly before Shion
returns outside. Start to the U.M.N. Control
Center.
Following several cutscenes, speak to Allen and
select "Ready!".
AC05        Subconcious Domain
You'll want to start by enterring the House. In
the House, start up the staircase and enter the
room directly ahead to encounter Sakura.
Exit Sakura's Room and follow Gaignun, Rubedo,
and Albedo down the stairs, back outside.
Access the Save Point, then enter through the
Transporter to the Yuriev Institute. It's the
U.R.T.V. Development Facility.
Start through the southern corridor, and then
follow Gaignun, Rubedo, and Albedo. Start to
the Save Point, then down the south corridor.
Descend the stairs into the Park. Proceed to
the western corridor.
Start down the one-way path until eventually
a cutscene is initiated.
After the cutscene, backtrack to the Park to
initiate another cutscene. Start back to the
northern structure.
Proceed down the eastern corridor, then enter
the first room which you cross. After which,
watch the cutscene.
Backtrack to the previous area and enter the
chamber east of the Save Point.
Access the Save Point at the Gas Station. In
this part of the Subconcious Domain, You'll
want to follow Gaignun, Albedo, and Rubedo
to the Beach.
Follow the eastern path to a Cabin. This is
also destructible which reveals a Forbidden
Device. It's an Encephalon Dive Device.
Continue east to the next area. You'll then
have a choice of three different paths that
you can choose from. Start down the eastern
stump. then take the closest path following
the river to a destructible tree. This will
create a path across the river.
Continue along the path to a tree which can
be found by the river. This is destructible,
so it's always a nice idea to have one more
way to cross the river.
Now back up to the only nearby path that we
haven't explored yet.
This next part took me a while too. Get rid
of the enemy within this area so it doesn't
become a problem.
There is a destructible at the western edge
of this area. Make sure you did not destroy
any of the boulders in the river.
Destroy the stump to access a Save Point. A
Treasire Chest can be found in the distance
containing Antidote L x 2. Destroy the tree
to create a bridge across the river. Follow
the path to the next area.
There's nothing in the lower chasm. You can
follow the trail out to another area, where
a Boost Max awaits behind a Boulder.
In the other direction, a crack on the side
of the rock can be destroyed, to access the
area which previously seemed as though this
was a dead-end.
Be careful crossing the fallen stumps. This
should be obcious stump to cross. There's a
destructible tree nearby. Destroy it, start
through the bushes, then fall to obtain the
Boost Max from the Treasure Chest.
You're soon forced into a battle from which
I thought we were invisible.
After which, more of these annoying enemies
will appear all throughout this Subconcious
World. Continue to the next area.
~ Boss Battle ~
HP: 5760             SC: N/A             Zone: C C B B
This is somewhat similar to the previous battles
we've been fighting near the Windmills. Only our
Boss has much more Health, Agility, and Strength.
You'll definitely want to considering Stocking or
Boosting. Send your strongest character behind it
to deliver maximum damage efficiently.
Moving one character behind also avoids several
attacks which damage all characters at once.
You'll eventually find that some situations are
nearly impossible. If this is the scenario then
I would suggest levelling up.
- - -
After an agonizing Boss Battle, we arrive back
at the Yuriev Institute. Head down the eastern
corridor through the doors.
Start through the park, start towards the east
path to initiate a cutscene. Follow the three
further into the park. Watch Albedo's cutscene.
Return to the main path and start west. Head to
the northern building into the central chamber.
You'll arrive back at the Gas Station. Same as
last time, start towards the Beach.
The path is the same a previously. A Bio Sphere
can be obtained in the Treasure Chest shortly
after crossing the river.
You'll eventually arrive in the area before the
Windmills, but the next area aren't Windmills.
Instead, start down the central path, cross the
fallen stump, then ascend the cliff.
Cross the next fallen stump, then continue down
the cliff. Cross the central stump, then follow
the path to reach the Beach.
~ Boss Battle ~
HP: 7580             SC: N/A             Zone: B C C B
For those who have beaten Xenosaga Episode I,
Albedo is extremely quick and powerful.
Unfortunately, Albedo has much more Strength
than when we fought him in Episode I. You'll
be lucky if you're able to deliver more than
50 Damage to Albedo.
Stock your characters and Boost to Maximum,
in a short while, Albedo will briefly lose
his arms. This is when you'll want to head
all out on Albedo. Don't waste time. He'll
regain his arms momentarily.
You'll probably laugh when you've defeated
Albedo, as he is much easier than Episode
I.
When you've cleared almost half of Albedo's
Health, he'll erase the Status Window. This
makes is nearly impossible to see a certain
character's HP / EP.
When low on Health, Albedo uses one attack
which if you're lucky, won't kill all the
characters on the field.

Watch the cutscene, then insert Disk 2 of
Xenosaga Episode II.
Exit Shion's Room and start down the eastern
corridor. Enter through the door next to the
Realian, Steinbock. Speak to Allen, and then
return to Shion's Room.
Return to the Communications Room once Shion
has awoken.
Start back towards Shion's Room, then to the
western corridor. Use the elevator to reach
the lower corridor.
BC01        Dammerung
You'll be fighting enemies alone on the Dammerung.
The odds of success are probably greatly stacked
against Shion.
Fortunately, Shion can deliver some immense damage
in the Dammerung.
The path to the Research Lab is straight-forward.
You'll eventually come to a very large area with
a few different ways to go.
You'll want to access the Save Point, then start
through central corridor. The western corridor
is destructible. There is a Decoder 18 in the
Treasure Chest.
Return to the previous area, then through the door on
the northern wall. Search through each of the several
rooms in this area to find Segment Address 7, several
various enemies, and tons of empty crates.
The Research Block is in Room H.. However it's locked
from the inside.
Return to the previous area. Through the central area
behind some large crates is a ladder.
There is a cannon at the top of the ladder. Press the
button on the cannon to destroy the crate. You would
have to have correct timing to destroy the crate.
There's another cannon on the other side. Allen says
that it's not a good idea, but this needs to be done
to get anywhere further in the story. Return back to
the area below to pick up the object that dropped.
Start through the newly accessed door to the catwalk
area. Destroy the catwalk to create a ramp to reach
the area above. Obtain the Bio Sphere from the crate,
then exit through the northern door.
Climb down the ladder and go nuts on destroying all
the crates to reveal a Segment Address 1. Examine
the console to reset the blocks.
You'll now need to create a path which is extrenely
difficult to put into text, but I'll do the best I
can.
Start towards the furthers crate, then destroy the
one directly in front of you. Break the left crate
three times.
Break the crate directly left three times. Locate
the southern block and destroy it until it should
be level with Shion.
You should then be able to stand on the northern
side of the blue block. Proceed down the ladder
to the crate west of the blue block which is on
the surface.
Destroy the two crates ahead, then you should be
directly in front of the column with the blue
block on top. Destroy one block then return up
the ladder. Backtrack to the blue block, then
destroy the block west of the blue block once.
Keep in mind where the column to your left is at.
There is a block which lies in front of the one
column we need to access, so remove it.
You should now be able to access that column
with the blue block on top. Remove one block,
then return to the top.
Step on to the blue block, then destroy the
northern block once. Head forward so we're
now against the wall.
Destroy the western block until it's level
with Shion, then return down the ladder to
the surface. Step against the wall of blue
blocks and destroy all the six blocks that
should be directly north of you.
Do not destroy the two blocks against the wall.
Destroy the western block under the blue block
once to create the path.
Enter the next area and head south. Ascemd the
stairs, then return to the upper level of the
Dock. Continue east, then examine the terminal
to initiate a cutscene.
You'll be able to activate the elevator. This
will allow you to access the Save Point below.
Enter the next area, then descend the stairs.
There's several different directions were able
to go, but we don't want to get off until we
see the number seven. Once you see the number
seven, drop to the area below.
Take the conveyer belt north, Keep pressing the
down button on the Analog Stick to move slowly
along the conveyer belt. You'll see the number
seven on the left hand side.
When you see the numbers three, four, and seven,
step to the western conveyer belt, then towards
the eastern conveyer belt to drop into that one
area we've been searching for.
This is area number four, which has been locked
in the area below. Unlock the door so we don't
have to try all that again. Descend the stairs,
destroy the crates, then ascend the stairs.
Desroy  some more crates, then start ascending
the stairs once again to reach the Research
Lab. Continue through the corridor, then down
the staircase. Destoy the destructibles along
the way.
Continue through the door to the next area, and
then into the ridiculously large room.
Destroy the three crates starting from the left
side, but leave the fourth. Stand in the north-
western section of the platform. This will now
make the platform slant allowing you to access
the platform in the south-eastern section.
Continue through the door to the next area and
use the Save Point.
Start towards the fan, while defeating the two
enemies along the way. You'll only be able to
get so close to the fan.
You'll have to stick close to the structure in
the center to avoid the strong gusts of wind.
From there, deactivate the switch to turn off
the fan.
Ascend the ladder and use the elevator to access
the area above. This should initiate a cutscene.
~ Boss Battle ~
HP: 2720             SC: N/A             Zone: N/A
This isn't much of a Boss Battle. The Battle Music changed
from Battle Music to Boss Music, so I'd suppose a strategy
is needed.
There's two of them and they are a bit tougher than those
which look alike. These ones have more Health, Strength,
and Defense. I'd suggest using Stock, Boosts, then send
every available attack towards the two.
Regardless.. You should be able to defeat them in a very
small amount of time with little work needed.
- - -
Head through the northern door to arrive in the Research
Lab's Inner Area. Approach the shuttle to initiate a
cutscene.
BC02        Elsa
Head up the staircase to the bridge to speak with Cpt.
Matthews and everybody else. Speak to Matthews when
you're ready to depart for Old Miltia.
Watch the cutscene as the Elsa makes it's way to Old
Miltia.
