Interestingly, it's not really all that useful to target most appendages, except during boss fights. The really rare stuff you're mostly buying, or they are giant enemies, so it's kinda easy to do, form a skell.

Any tips for defeating Calore, the Lava Walker for Lv. 5 Archeological field skill? He resists level 50 Phoenix and GBuster.

Four L50 Skells, with Gbuster & Phoenix might net you the win, but you could also grab an L50 Super Weapon, craft it, and blow him up that way. You can get those, from L4 chests, but I don't recall which ones I've picked up had them. Check your Develop New Gear - Skell Weaponry and see if you have one. They don't cost a lot of tickets to make and can blow up Joker, in one hit, like my Detonator F does.

I could be wrong, but it sounds like Spike and Rarity, from MLP, so perhaps that's why they cast them, in the pairing roles.

Finally beat this Lv 62 Tyrant after about 8 tries as part of Lv 5 max Archeological skill. Had two Lv 50 Amdusias and two Lv 30 Amdusias. Removed Phoenix from all as they were pointless and resisted. Replaced them with Buster/Javelin for Lv 50/30, respectively. Had great versions of them as some good ones dropped while I was farming for intergalactic Phoenix/G-Busters.

Have to appendage break his mouth or his laser move will fuck up some commas. After breaking the mouth, I broke the horn on his head. Needed to get lucky with the Bind procs and cockpit resets. Lost 1 of the Lv 30 skells on my winning attempt. Everyone was running on fumes. Whole party had red HP when the battle was over. Fun stuff.

This game has finally managed to pull me away from mmos. >.> Got through Chapter 5 so far.

Did all of the affinity missions and most of the normal missions, so I decided to make a 2nd save file/account for fun. The game becomes much easier and faster than I remembered having mastered all the systems and knowing where everything is. By the time I reached the lv 16 ch. 4 boss, my party already had access to ghost factory and shield wall, steam rolling through it. I'm also having fun with the dialog choices, with the best so far being Nagi at the beginning when you constantly refuse to join BLADE.

**Twilight Sky** · 2015-12-27 09:12

I'm debating rather to get this in a few hours or not(I will buy a Wii U just for this).

Edit: Got them both.

**Wulfgang** · 2015-12-27 12:59

I have come so close to buying a Wii U like 3x just for this

**Kachiko** · 2015-12-27 13:33

I know the feeling; I bought the Gamecube just for Twilight Princess, swore off the Wii, but bought the Wii-U, for Hyrule Warriors (I'm seeing a pattern here). If you're the type that can drop 100+ hours into this game, you'll get your monies worth. It will actually take a lot more, if you're going to 100% it and see everything it can do. It's really all about world exploration and monster hunting, with the story being really lack-luster. Missions breath a hell of a lot more life into the game's characters then the story, by far.

There are other great games out there, so if you do decide to join the fun, then it's a lot easier to pick them up as well.

Ok, any tips for starters?

**Twilight Sky** · 2015-12-27 15:59

Played it for about 2 hours, gameplay is alright, gotta get used to the control scheme, and the camera work is a little annoying(slow panning).

On the character creation screen, of course Monolift had to throw in an easter egg-ish Dmitri Yuriev looking face in there.

I did the same thing for the 3DS. Bought it just for A Link Between Worlds, and then I ended up buying 5 more games.

-Choose Curator division for quicker BLADE leveling. This division gets 5 BLADE points per collectible and you will be collecting a lot. (After I maxed my BLADE level I switched to Reclaimers for Treasure Sensor.)
-Spend a few hours learning the controls, combat, and camera. It was annoying at first, but you get the hang of it.
-Collect EVERYTHING. Those little blue crystals are important. Very important. Collect as many as you can on your way to wherever you're going.
-Every time you gain a BLADE level, you can increase your choice of mechanical, archeological, and biological field skills. I would take mechanical to Lv 4 first, then archeological to Lv 4 next. Mechanical is required for probes and there are just a lot more mechanical wreckage to explore.
-Make sure you switch your class once you cap it. After capping a class, you have mastered it and can use that class's weapons when playing as another class.
-Save often and especially before you pull off something risky. This is much more important later in the game when you want to preserve your skell insurance.
-Don't buy much. Most of the best stuff will be drops. If you must, buy stuff at level 15, 30, and 50. You can get by without purchasing a thing though. If you inist on purchasing anything, get the best weapons for your current class. Armor is pretty meh.

I'm sure I'll think of more, but that's all I got off the top of my head.

I disagree that armor is meh, unless you're doing an Infinite Overdrive build, though Sakuraba and Candid are the only two most useful,, while leveling. Sakuraba gives a big HP/Defense/Melee Attack, which makes a big difference, at the level intervals you get the armor. Candid gives the Treasure Hunter gear, which is always good to run around in, and you're likely keeping your AI characters in it, after L55, since that gives max TH (IIRC the caps). The Treasure Hunter gear is also good for farming your L30/L50 Skell Phoenix/Gbuster weapons, as well as how you're likely to find that superior armor, to begin with.

Also, do make use of Treasure Offer, from the loot menue. One of the divisions gets a lot of points for it, but the others get some too.

**Quicklet** · 2015-12-27 18:40

Just to add to Valisk: Particularly early on, save before you accept any affinity mission / story mission and be wary of saving until you're sure you can complete it. You can only accept one at a time and can't drop the mission once you start, so if you're sent somewhere dangerous or need collectables you haven't found, you're stuck with that mission until you complete it.

**Kachiko** · 2015-12-27 18:43

Oh, and if you do get stuck, but it's a drop you're looking for, buy it with Division Reward tickets. Most are pretty cheep, but if you're out and exploring the world, you're likely finding what you need, naturally, but I did use some, now and then.

This is configurable**, and was one of the first things I had to fix because that pan speed is UNBEARABLE

**except when you enter enclosed spaces, then the camera reverts back to slow-as-fuck for no reason.

**Twilight Sky** · 2015-12-28 16:57

I got destroyed by a lvl81 Siminus/Four armed Monkey God of Doom Tyrant. Not by accident, just wanted to see how the encounter was going to go.

Lin is kind of..err dangerous to have in the party if surrounded by a lot of enemies. Her trash talk taunt is AOE and is actually how I got a wipe the first time.

**Tomiko** · 2015-12-28 18:16

Finally got my Ares 90 Skell today. The canon is much more powerful than I expected. Went around and destroyed some things that kicked my ass before. Also killed the Lv. 92 Millesaur (sp) Tyrant.

For those that are or will be working on it, this is the best guide I've seen for part farming. It actually says what and where to get each item.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/70115...les-x/73040335

I used tickets for:
2 Golden Yggralith Heart
4 Silver Vita Core
~4 Seidr Control Device

and farmed the rest. The Seidr Control Devices weren't as hard to farm as I was expecting. My fight where I got thre last 2 was a bitch though since one of the bosses kept healing itself. That fight took just over 10mins. Most were about 1-2mins.
