Trinity Pit
Here the trinity Pit is just like any other town so do what you need to do. Visit the id girl and the shops. You will notice though that you are alone as Lin is watching Nina so you won't be able to sell or buy them any weapons and armor yet. Save your game on the Telecorder and go to the far end of the pit where you will see an open area and some people sitting around a table. Go in here and through the door on the right. After a cut scene you will be in the barracks with a guard behind a desk. You have two choices of what to do next. Either you can go talk to Lin and help her retrieve some medicine for Nina, or you can talk to the guard and go to sleep.
Nina's Medicine Quest [NMQ]
Now what kind of person would you be if you didn't help Nina? Of course we are going to help her! When you start from the make shift hospital bed, go through the door on the right and head down the corridor. Hang a right when you reach the end and continue along past the barracks, through the door at the end and down the ladder.
Old Trade Sector 2 [NMQ]
When you go down the ladder, follow the passage way around right and then left and into a room with a few Gars and a door on the north wall in the centre of the room. Take out the Gars and go through the door. Follow this passage along until you come to an intersection with a door on the left. Head right then left at the next intersection. Turn left at the intersection and keep going through the door there till you reach the end. Make a left and again keep going through the door and on till you reach the end of this hallway. Turn left and then turn down the passage on your right when you reach it. Go up the ladder here.
Old Trade Sector D [NMQ]
Run along the corridor until you reach some boxes stack up and are blocking your way. Turn right, down the passage way and into the room there. The Music starts as you enter and it becomes a danger room. There are 6 Gars in this room and 2 in the adjoining room to the north. When all of them have been taken out a cut scene will play and you will get Nina's medicine. Don't forget to crack open the four boxes behind the counter in the first room to get your self some trauma kits. Make your way back to Nina or continue exploring the rest of the areas. Since this whole quest is optional I will only tell you how to complete it. There are quite a few other ladders and areas to climb and search out, but they involve a lot of backtracking returning to areas you have already been but by different routes. The rewards for the other areas are not all that spectacular but you may want to carry them out for experience sakes.
Trinity Pit
When you get back to the Trinity pit go and have the goodies you brought back identified in the store. Sell anything you don't want and stock up on some health items. Also you may want to save your game for this next fight. It's not difficult by any means, but if you make a mistake it could cost Nina her life and you have to restart. Head back to the barracks and take a nap. When you do you are awoken and jump into a battle.
When the battle starts you are fighting Trinity ?? and Trinity !?. If they get a hold of Nina and knock her down it is game over. Have Nina use a multimed potion and then high tail it as far away as she can get from the two Trinity's. Ryu and Lin should be able to work these two pretty easily. After a few rounds Two more Trinity's, Sevru and !!, will show up in the corridor beside the room you are fighting in. !! has a huge movement range and Servu has a nasty combo hit. Again just keep Nina in the back of the room and leave Ryu and Lin by the door to the room. When they try to get in, take the trash out. After they are taken care of you will watch a cut scene and Mebeth will give you the M-Key. If you need to go back to the shop do so, but if not take a right from where you are with MeBeth and go up the elevator.
LifeLine LowSector
Run down the passageway here taking a left when you reach the fenced area. Follow this up to a small room and a few doors on each wall. The door to the far right is a D-Ratio door so we need not worry about that one. If you go through the other door on the right it will just lead to some enemies and another D-Ratio door. Make a left and grab the Save Token from the box there. Head right, into a room with a blue treasure chest and some enemies.
In here will be 4 Shadow Players and bandits. Take them out and head down the other two long passage ways and clear them out. One passage will contain boxes while the other contains a Gigantis and 4 DeVogues to get the key for the chest. When you do, continue through the main room to the door on the far wall and up the elevator.
Lifeline Mid East
Run through the rooms with the large pipe on the right side. At the end of the second room turn right and go around behind the large pipe to kill off some Hychees. Go back along the path you were taking and continue through the door until you come to 2 Trilizards and a DeVogue guarding the next one.
Lifeline Mid West
Enter through the door and continue along the corridor. Here will be a few Goo Prisms to deal with and a Wonder Box directly after. Defeat the amazing Wonder Box and head through the door where 3 Gigantis's are waiting for you. You can either run right around them like a big chicken or do the right thing and fight them one at a time.
Lifeline Top East
Make your way down the corridor and out the door way into a small room. At one end will be a door and the other a small crowd of Bandits and a shadow Player. Head through the door that was on the left of where you entered. If you head left here there are some boxes. Behind the boxes are some little guys called Sebons and Bon Appetit's. They look just like Hychees and work the same way although they drop better healing items. One hit with FireBlast should clear them all out.
Turn around and if you want, you can head straight up this corridor and follow it around to some more Sebons and Bon appetites. It is worth it for the aid kits, but you will have to fight two Gigantis's to get there. After you slaughter them all, make your way back to the beginning where you fought the Bandits. Go through the door on the far side of the room and make a left. To the right there are a lot of boxes but also a bad ass meanie behind them. I don't think the fight against the Cerberus is worth the useless stuff in the boxes. Keep going along the hallway until you reach another room. Go to the door on the far left to use the treasure key on the chest to get Lin's "How's That?" Skill. Exit the room by the door in the center of the west wall.
Lifeline Top West
Head down the hallway and get ready for a big rumble. If you don't have a lot of health and aid kits, you really are going to want to go back to the Trinity Pit and stock up. Head through the doors and get ready to fight a Rebuilt Bosch.
To put it simply, Bosch is a pain in the ass. He hands out mean damage and he heals himself quite a lot to start with. At the beginning of the battle he will heal himself for about a good 350- 400 each round. You really need to start taking big chunks of his health away so he heals less. Yes, the less health he has, the less he heals. For the first round, wait and save the round to gather some AP. It will take him a round to reach you anyways. Another thing about fighting Bosch is that he is dead set on fighting Ryu. If Lin or Nina intervenes, he will make a beeline for them and be upset about them interrupting. This can actually work to your advantage. Bosch was so distracted with Lin that Nina and Ryu just pummeled him from behind and he never paid attention to either of them. Whenever Lin was knocked down, she would get revived with a tonic only to get knocked down again. She took a beating but it absorbed most of Bosch has a really devastating attack called the "Dragon Slayer" that he uses when he gets low on health. It can easily take off 100 in a single swipe and he attacks 4 times a round when his bezerker attack kicks in. Knock his health down a bit at a time. If you are having trouble from the start with him healing himself Max. all the time then use the D-Dive for a few rounds to knock his health down a bit so he won't be healing as much. Change back to human form and whittle his health down bit by bit and keep your party healing each other after every round and you will have him beat no problem. After he is beaten and the cut scene plays, head out the door on the right and go up the elevator. There is a door on the left, outside where you defeated him, but there is nothing to be found down there. Just the bloodstain of where Bosch had landed.
Top Sector Junction
Walk halfway across the platform and turn left. The door ahead is a D-Ratio door so ignore it for now. Go through the door on the left and you will enter the next town.
Top Sector Borough
When you enter the town there a Telecorder right in front of you but a guy stands in front of it and won't move. Head right to where some guards are standing and you can use the Telecorder there. Head up the stairs in the town stopping at each person to buy and sell every thing you need to continue. Stock up on your health items for sure, but check your colony if you have any shops set up in there to see what they are selling before hitting the weapon store here. After you are done your shopping head all the way up the stairs and into the middle door beside the Helipad.
PowerOne 1F
Walk down the corridor and out to the metal walkway. Here you will be rushed by some skeletons. If you look to the far left you will see a little guy hanging around down there. That is a Karon and he controls the Skeletons pretty much like a Brokenheart did, with the exception that when the Karon is killed, all of the skeletons disappear too. Take out the Karon and you will get a treasure key.
Head back to the right of the entrance and down the catwalk. Down here will be 5 Crushed hearts floating around. These look like smaller versions of Brokenhearts and are as hard to hit as well. But just like the Broken hearts, Nina's Ice blast freezes their bodies and makes it so you can hit them every time. Also you will want to attack them as a group and not individually. When one dies, then the rest start using Twin Wake and it is not a pleasant place to be. When they have been dealt with, continue along the catwalk and head left when you go through the door. Grab the backpack out of the treasure chest. Go through the door to the right of the treasure chest and take out the boxes there.
Turn around and continue going straight to the other side of the catwalk where the chest was. Take out the family of Nuggets that are camped out there. The Momma and Poppa Nuggets are the most trouble but you can take out the regular nuggets in no time. Ice attacks work well on the family as well. There are two large doors on the left and right side of the wall here and each leads to a danger room. The doors on the left lead to a danger room with 4 skeletons and a Karon. The one on the right leads to a danger room with another Nugget family. I went left and just fought the Karon to clear the room. Crack open the boxes and head up the elevator to the next level.
Power One 2F
Run around the corner and out the door. This whole area is filled with RescueMechs and karels. RescueMechs spend a lot of their time ignoring you and healing the karels with them. You can usually wipe out a RescueMech in one round so go for them first. Make your way left from here and head through the door at the far end. Inside will be some more Karels and RescueMechs. Take them out and make a right through the door in the middle of the room.
Follow the catwalk along and up the stairs. There even more Karels here. Good thing they aren't all that tough. Make a right and enter the door here to find a whole bunch of skeletons. The Karon controlling them is behind the boxes to your right. Break them and start a battle with him to avoiding having to fight all the skeletons. When he is beaten grab the key and open the treasure chest to get Nina's "Divine" skill. Go back out of this large room and go through the door on the right hand side. Follow the hallway around and hop on the elevator.
PowerOne 4F
Follow this corridor around the first turn to run into a big version of the Karel called a Proto-Karel. These guys really aren't much tougher the regular versions. Get past him and keep on running until you eventually come to another skeleton and a Karon surrounded by several Primas. Primas are just like Hychees except they are white and give out a lot better medical kits. Take out the Kardon to rid yourself of the skeletons. Run through the door that you just passed in the middle of the passage. When you go through you will be on a metal catwalk and at an intersection.
Head left to a small room and some boxes. When you have them come back out, continue along straight ahead and into another room at the opposite end. Destroy the Crushed hearts to get a key for the upcoming treasure chest. Make sure you freeze them first and they will be no trouble at all. Follow the catwalk along and exit the room. Go right, past a door and left to get a treasure chest. Head aback to the door you just passed and head
PowerOne Transport
Go up the elevator and out onto the platform while you sit back and watch another delicious cut scene. This time around, a Regent by the name of Deamoned shows up to brag and boast about how good he is and how bad you are. I think is one of the easier bosses to beat so far in the game. It takes more than a little while, but you will eventually wear him down.
The key to this fight was waiting and having a lot of tonics. To do any damage to him at all, you need to hit him with a combo that does over 200 damage without stopping. To be able to do this you are going to have to wait and attack every other round. He will slap the snot out of you when he attacks so that where the tonics and med kits come in. Just like Bosch, when Deamoned attacked he seemed more focused on Nina or Lin and pretty much left Ryu alone. Wait a turn and keep healing and you will eventually have him beat with out using the D-Dive at all. After he is taken care of, pick up his key and make your way to the swirly lights on the platform and hold on tight.
Centre Entrance
Stock up on any med kits and tonics that you used during the previous battle and head through the large doors.
Centre 1F
Enter through the door and go either left or right. Both paths take you to the same place. Head down the stairs where there are a few Buzz Militants flying around. If you went the right path then head left at the bottom of the stairs to get to a Telecorder and save your game. Obviously, if you took the left path, then the Telecorder will be on your right at the bottom of the stairs. After you save your game, head back out into the hallway and deal with the Buzz Militants. They hate lightning so make sure you have Nina equip it. There is also a Creepstalker who pops up and down that hold a treasure key. Kill him and head through the center door.
In the next room there are about 5 DarkStalkers creeping around on the floor in the next room. Take them out with Nina's Ice Blast to freeze their bodies solid and Ryu's hacking and they won't be around long. Grab the back pack out of the chest and choose which stair case you want to go up. There is one on either side of the room and each leads to different areas, monsters and bosses.

Centre 2F North
When you enter here hang a left and a right and keep running along the large hallway. When you enter the first room, there will be a staircase on your right that leads to a very large area with a lone enemy waiting for you in front of a door. This happy little fellow is a Gargantua and kind of like Deamoned was, you need to hit Gargantua for 500 health before you can start knocking down his health. Thankfully he doesn't have a lot of health when you do start to chip away at it. He only attacks once per round and usually does about 200-250 damage. You are going to want to wait a few rounds before attacking him to build up your AP and then haul some serious ass on him. Keep healing yourself full and let him have it when you are ready. Keep repeating this and you will him toasted in no time. Ok, a bit of time since all the waiting takes awhile, but you know what I mean.
Go through the door he was guarding and you will find a room full of Ebonfires with one huge one in the center called Mahadevan. Circle around to the far side of the room and you can take on Mahadevan pretty much alone. Have Nina use lightning on him and the rest just hack away and he won't last long. When he is finished, try to take out the Ebonfires a few at a time to make life easier. When all is clear, grab the treasure key and go back into the previous room. Make your way up the stairs and continue down the hallway the same way you were going originally.
About hallway down the hall you will come to a little balcony with a box. This is Pandora's Box. If you use Lin's Battle Skill, it tells you about 3 turns Pandora's Box takes before hope. It is kind of a clue as to what you need to do. Have Lin and Nina take off from the Box and let it attack Ryu only. Don't fight back and let it attack you for three rounds. Use a tonic when needed. After three rounds it will blow up and leave you Nina's Skill "Mirage Blast". This skill is going to come in very handy later on when dealing with the last few bosses. Continue along the hall and go through the door. In the next room the will be two doors, one straight ahead and one over to the far right. Go over to the door on the far right first to use your treasure key on the chest. You will get a nice bit of armor for your trouble. Head back over to the door that was straight ahead of the entrance and hop on the swirly lights to do your best Star Trek impression.

Centre 3F North
Run down the hallway and up the staircase. Continue through the door and on through the room with the three alcoves to the left with a treasure chest in the middle one. Keep going through the door and you will encounter 3 Thunder Goo's, 3 Ice Goo's and 3 Fire Goo's. You can fight them one at a time, but you should be able to handle them 3 at time. When they are all squished, head back into the room you just came out of with the three alcoves.
This becomes a danger room and there are 2 Goo kings in the far left and far right alcove and a Crystal Goo in the hallway bouncing around. The Goo Kings are the hardest in this room and don't take kindly to lightning. Keep your party at a distance from each other so when the Goo's decide to do their fancy expand trick, you aren't wiped out all at once. Once they have been taken care of, the key will appear and you will be able to grab Nina's "Blizzard" skill from the chest. Head back into the room where you fought the nine Goo's and head up the staircase and into the teleporter.
When you enter the next room you will be in a showdown with Cupid, the next Regent with a key. She really isn't all that tough at all, but her pet Oncotte can be a serious pain if he catches you. When the battle begins, Cupid will hit one member of your party with Command. Who ever she hits, Oncotte will attack until Cupid decides to hit someone else with it. Who ever is hit with the spell, have them run far away from Oncotte but always towards Cupid if you can. To hit Cupid you need to nail her for 200 health before she will start taking damage. Just use the same tactics you used on Deamoned. Heal and heal some more while you wait a few rounds to attack her. You can stay as close to her as you like since her personal attacks really aren't that powerful. When she is dead, you grab the key and jump on one of the platforms with swirly light. There are two that go to different areas. The right one leads to Vexacion and the left leads to Jezuit.
Right Staircase
Centre 2F South
Go right around the corner and down the set of stairs on the left. Down here in front of the doorway you will see a really big baddie waiting for you. This guy is a Pantagruel and he is a big pushover. He needs to be whacked for 200HP before you can start hurting him, but once you do, he really isn't all that tough. When he is killed grab the "Shazam" Skill for Nina off the ground and head through the doors. In this room you will find the same thing as if you had taken the left staircase. There are a lot of Ebonfires flying about and one big guy called Mahadevan. Circle around to the back of the room and get him alone. When he is toast then you can pick off the Ebonfires at your leisure. Grab the treasure key and make your way back through the rooms and up the stairs.
Continue down the hallway and you will come to a Pandora's Box on your left. This one is just like the one if you had taken the left staircase. Send Nina and Lin far away and let the box attack you for three rounds. The last two rounds will more then likely knock you out, so have Nina or Lin use tonics on you as necessary. The box will leave Nina's Skill "MirageBlast" which is a riot to use on enemies and is actually pretty useful for the upcoming battles. Keep heading down the corridor and through the doors until you come to the last room with a door in front of you and a door on the far left. The far left door leads to a room that contains a treasure chest and a ???? +4 wand. The right door leads to a Teleporter.

Centre 3F South
Enter the large wooden room here and you will run into 3 Rafflesia's. Take them out, but remember too much magic and them don't mix. After you deal with them, head up the stairs and hand out some death to the 3 Trilizards up there. After they have joined their strawberry headed friends, head through the door and into a large room with three alcoves on the right side wall. Each alcove contains a box and a guardian Cerberus. The middle one contains a blue chest and the Cerberus is walking up and down the middle of the main corridor. After the last Cerberus is defeated you will receive the treasure key and Nina's "inferno" skill from the chest. Head out the door at the end of the hall and make your way up the stairs. Open the door here and hop on the Teleporter for your deathmatch with Hortensia.
Hortensia is just really frustrating to battle and you might end up using your D-Dive just to finish her off fast. The battle takes place on what could be described as a chess board. She stays in one spot and flips the colour of each square every round. Depending on what square you are on, you will either get hurt, healed, or have nothing happen to you. The object to defeating her is to get in close to her and just let her have it. She needs to be whacked for 250 HP before she starts to feel the pain, so like the other enemies you have run into you will need to wait a turn or two to really do some heavy damage. There are a few things to watch out for in this battle though. Make sure you are not standing on two tiles at once and when you get in close to Hortensia, get behind her. She has a spell that knocks you flying back to the edge of the board. If you are behind her, it will only knock you back a little bit and you can still reach her the next round. After she is defeated, grab her key and two Teleport pads will appear. Like the battle with Cupid, the left one leads to Jezuit and the right leads to Vexacion.
Centre 4F Main to Vexacion
Make you way down the hallway and down the stairs. There is a crowd of darkstalkers here just begging for you to kill them. Head through the door way and enter a hallway that is lined with Nervemen. These guys are just like Worm Men but darker and tougher. After you kill them all you will get a treasure key. Keep going through the door at the end of the hall and up the stairs. Make a right at the top of the stairs to get the treasure chest. A few Primas are squirming around in front of it. Take them out, grab your health and Nina's 3rd level skill "lag Valhalla" from the chest. Turn around and head back down the hallway.
Enter the Teleporter through the door at the end of the hall and you will be set to face off against Vexacion. When you start the battle you will be up against him and two more guys, Ryked and Nalaka. These two guy head straight for Nina and Lin while Vexacion hangs back for a few rounds. Have Ryu start bashing on Nalaka until he starts moving towards you. Move Lin and Nina off to the side away from Ryu and Vexcion. Vex has a deadly move called "Quint Wake" that can wipe out your whole party in one swipe if they are all grouped together. Keep an eye on each member's health and heal every round. After Ryked and Nalaka are done for, have Lin and Nina join the fight against Vex but from a distance and on either side of him.
This is another long battle and takes some time to wear each enemy down, but eventually you will come out on top as long as you don't get caught together. You can use your D-Dive if you choose to for a round or two to wear them down a bit, but you really should save it for the next few battles. They are not going to get any easier. When you finally beat them, grab the key and hop on the Teleporter.
Centre 4F Main to Jezuit
Go straight down the corridor, through the doors until you come to two boxes and a little bridge to your left. Take out the boxes and start across the little bridge. On here will be 3 Duke Knights. They are small but they pack one hell of a punch. You definitely want to fight these one at a time. When they get down tot about half health then their armor cracks and you can start dealing them some good damage. When you get past these three the grand daddy of all Dukes, The Duke Lord, is sleeping at the end of the bridge.
He does about the same damage as the Duke Knights except he gets two swipes at you per turn and he needs to be knocked for 50 HP before he takes any damage. Like the other Dukes you just fought, his armor needs to be cracked before he will start taking the brunt of your blows. It cracks when he gets about ? of his HP taken off. If you want to fight this Duke, it is up to you but it is not necessary by any means. Your reward is a treasure key for the chest that is behind him and contains Ryu's "Hyperkick" skill.
When he is done, or when you run past him, head right over another little bridge and destroy the 3 boxes there. Turn around and make your way down the pathway, through the door and kill the 5 little Primas gathered in front of you. Grab your health kits and continue on your way through the door ahead of you and on to the teleporter to meet Jezuit.
Prepare yourself for another long drawn out battle. Jezuit can be beaten quickly if he does what you want him too, but that usually happens never. Jezuit has an attack called Shadow Walk that lets him turn somewhat invisible. Actually just looks like he is covered in mercury but you get the idea. When he is like this, you cannot hit him at all. You either need to throw down some traps, have Nina throw down a Mirage Blast or just wait until the effect wears off. If Nina throws down a doll and Jezuit walks into it, it cancels his turn and returns him to normal. Like most of the enemies of late, you need to hit him for 50HP before you can start taking damage off him. Really this battle is no different than any of the other boss battle lately except for the Shadow Walk deal. Keep on your toes and heal when necessary and you will have him beat eventually. When he is defeated and he is done making his speech, grab his key and head over to the Teleporter and onto the Centre Hall.
Centre Hall
Walk through this room, around the circle wall, past the dragon cloth and into the Teleporter directly across from where you entered.
Cemetery
Around you will be 3 stone monuments that look out of place and have a design on them. Walkup to anyone of them and activate them. After a cut scene plays, walk through the door that opened and do the same thing to the red stone. Walk forward and you will see the three store girls all together. This is the last store in the game so if you need to get stocked up, which I am more than sure you do, you had better do so. I would suggest grabbing about 20 tonics, at least 50 med kits and at least 20 multimeds, especially if you don't have a lot of Dragon power left. When you are ready to rock and or roll, save your game on the Telecorder and head out down the stairs and through the door.
Geovator Terminal
As a side note: For these last few battles, you are going to need to use your D-Dive to finish them all off. There is nothing but bosses ahead and you need to make sure you have at the very least 75% - 80% left on your D-Counter at this point. Make your way up the staircase to the large platform above. Walk to the drivers controls and activate it. When the platform starts moving up the tracks, a cut scene starts and the battle with Elyon begins.
For this battle, you must defeat Elyon in 20 turns. The elevator you are fighting on will reach the top then and he must be defeated before that happens. When the battle starts with Elyon, the first thing he does is creates duplicates of himself. They aren't quite as tough but they are still a big pain to deal with. You will really need to use your D-Dive to win this battle. The duplicates he makes, called Alter Egos do some heavy damage and along with Elyon, it is pretty intense. Use D-Dive and hack away at Elyon. Charge up twice using D-Charge and swipe at him with your Twister skill. You will probably have to hit him twice with it, but if you get his Alter Ego's at the same time, they should go down in one swipe. After a cut scene, go across the walkway, down the stairs and through the door.
Geofront LowSector
Here you are so close to the surface you can taste it. But of course someone has to come along and ruin it for you. Yep you guessed it. It's Bosch again. This time around he is really not much worse then when you originally fought him. He does have a fancy new trick though. His Tri Wake" attack which can be pretty deadly. Use the same tactics you used on him the first time around and you should be able to defeat him pretty easily. Also have Nina cast Mirage Blast three times in a half circle around Bosch is a good idea. If it does enough damage it will end his turn and leave you harm free.
After Bosch is defeated you know he isn't done just yet. Now comes D-Bosch. That's right another form of Bosch that looks oddly familiar. The problem with D-Bosch is that he has 5000 Hp and you can't hurt him normally until he has 2500 HP. Have Ryu D-Dive and charge up 3 times and unleash a twister on him. You are going to need at least 95% on your counter to get him down to 2500 HP which breaks his dragon form and at least 90% to kill him out right. If you decide to take him down to half health and fight him normally, watch out for his Malefactor attack. It causes the person who is hit to be affected by every abnormality status there is all at once. Keep everybody in the party separate from each other so if this happens you can cure each other. You can work him down, slowly but surely, but if you have the D points to use, I would use them here. After D-Bosch is beaten a rather long cut scene starts and Chetyre emerges. Now you are in the last and easiest battle of the game. The only thing you can do is float back and forth and use up all of you D-skill until the counter hits 100%. When it does, that's all she wrote. Sit back and enjoy the end of the game.
