I'm still a student and I love playing RPGs, which started with Square's Xenogears. OK, sorry about the overload of useless information in the past few versions. Parasite Eve 2 is an adventure, although doing battle with NMCs (Neo Mitochondrian Creatures) remain RPG-like. It involves a girl named Aya, whose mitochondrias react differently. I won't go into a lengthy explanation, so here goes nothing! *********************************** 1a. What this is and what it isn't* *********************************** Firstly, this is a walkthrough for beginners and the first-timers. It does not apply to gamers who want to find out about the stats of every item and armor, not forgetting the weapons. It isn't a guide to the harder game modes, like the Bounty Mode. And since I don't read Japanese, this could prove to be a problem too. I can't give you a translation of conversations. That is the limit this FAQ can go, until I get my little dirty hands on the US Version. -------=======------- Copyright Information -------=======------- This FAQ is free but you cannot duplicate it or copy any of the info here to make it your own FAQ. You can post it on any web site you wish. as long as you credit me and is posted in its unaltered form. You may print it for personal purposes only and not for business.

Go to Menu --> Options and choose the 6th option. The description below refer only to the default controls. Anyone who knows what the Left and Right Analog sticks do tell me at pe_2@usa.net. ***************************************** 4a. While Walking/Running/Out of Battle:* ***************************************** X - Run (hold X while walking), Cancel Square - Search for enemy with weapon Circle - Open doors, take items, walk stairs, advancing in dialogue Triang - Use Parasite Energy. Self magic can only be used here like healing. Start - Open Menu Select - Show Map of Current Area L1 \ L2 \ R1 \ R2 - None Left Stick - Run Right Stick - None ************************** 4b. While in Battle Mode:* ************************** X - Run (hold X while walking), Cancel Square - Auto-aim weapon at enemy, hold it to get acquire target Circle - Open doors to escape from battle, Confirming selections anywhere Triang - Choose Parasite Energy to use. Start - Use Attachments (more on this later) Select - Open GPS Map L1 \ L2 - None R1 - Primary Attack with weapon, after or before target acquired R2 - Secondary Attack button (if any) Left Stick - Run and Turn Around Right Stick - None ---------=======---------- Menu System and Navigation ---------=======---------- I haven't studied the menus in detailed yet and I can't read Jap so I won't be adding this part yet. Press Start to go in & X to go out. All I know is that you can choose a few options once you go in. They are: (If I miss something email me at pe_2@usa.net. Thanks!) USE KEY P. ENERGY MAP OPTIONS EXIT Use - Change weapons and armor, manage Attachments, use Items Key - Key Items that you find like keys and cards or newspapers P. Energy - Learn new or upgrade magic spells. Contains info too. Map - View the map. Same as pressing Select. Options - Not much to change here. You can't change controls. Exit - Go out the menu. Press X as an alternative. --------============--------- Battle System and Game System --------============--------- Battle system is changed in the sequel. It cannot be considered RPG-ish because of its non tactical and strategy planning. All of it is just plain shooting. No time-bars, but the usual HP and MP remain. You can now roam anywhere within the battle site, which is good. Escaping normal battles have a 100% success rate. All you need to do is to exit the place normally, like going through doors or climbing stairs. Experience Points still remain, but instead of using it to level up, it is used to learn and upgrade new and existing spells, respectively. Other than that everything remains more or less the same without any big differences. When you run away from battles, 10BP will be deducted. BPs are the currency for the game. You can't run anymore when you have 0 BPs. *************************** 6a. Characters in the Game* *************************** Aya Brea Age:25 Job: Works for the FBI's special force unit M.I.S.T. after quiting her job at the NYPD because of the Manhatten incident. She is constantly tortured by strange dreams and flashbacks from her past. Pierce D. Carradine Age: 26 Job: Computer Engineering/ M.I.S.T Pierce is a major hacker and is always pulling Aya out of sticky situations. He is also her personal trainer when it comes to weapons. Kyle Madigan Age : 29 Job: Unknown, Kyle somewhat appears towards the middle of the game. He teams up with Aya for a while, but is a major burden. He even tried to kill Aya once, but her powers protected her. Eve Age:?? Job: Creator of the NMC. She has remained undercover for the past 3 years and has now resurfaced with a plan that could bring the extinction of the human race. No.9 Age: ?? Job: To get rid of Aya Brea. He seems to be Eve's accomplice, but it isn't quite clear throughout the game. Laughs maniacally. Gary Douglas Age: ?? Job: Creates weapons. He's the only survivor in the Nevada incident. Has a dog named Flint. Bric Baldwin Age: ?? M.I.S.T. Chief. Gives orders to his members through the phone. Jodie Bouquet Age: ?? Is an expert in weapons and equipment remodeling . Sells you items too. ************************ 6b. Weapons in the Game* ************************ The list is uncompleted. Contribute! Combat Shotgun AS12 - Slow but powerful. It's the typical shotgun. Grenade Launcher MM1 - OK, this is the correct info. This is the Grenade Launcher, but it can load up to 12 at a time and it can fire at a faster rate. Loading is extremely slow, so make sure you're safe when facing bosses. Only available in the first time you play in Replay. SMG_MPS - Haven't got this yet GPS - Tracking system. Radar for NMCs. Put it in your Attachments so that you can see where the NMCs are. Purple dots are targeted NMCs. Tonfa Baton - Really good for close up fights. You always have it. Handgun 93 R - Aya's best friend. The default gun she has. Assault Rifle M4A1 - Fast but heavy, it covers a bigger range & rate. You can also add parts to it. M9 - Knife. Add-on for the M4A1 Assault Rifle. M950 Machinegun - Can shoot up to 100 9mm bullets in one shot. Good against slow characters but the Assault Rifle makes a better job. Very slow reloading. Free. Gunblade - I think the name is incorrect. This is the sword that Squall from FF8 fame used. This is exactly like it. It uses Shotgun shells. R1 is Swipe and R2 is shoot. To combo for a VERY VERY powerful attack press R1 and upon contact press R2. Even with the first batch of weak shotgun bullets it inflicts over 1000+HP damage! Only available in 2nd time in Replay. *********************** 6c. Spells in the game* *********************** Can anyone tell me which is which? Apoblosis - ? Combustion - ? Antibody - Ups defense by about 50% against all attacks Necrosis - ? Pyrokinesis - ? Energy Shot - One of the best spells from the original. Anything else? Plasma - ? ///---Translation into common Magic terminology---\\\ Since I don't know what the spells mean, I can only mention common names for the Magic like DefenseUP instead of Antibody. Here is what I know so far. It's mostly complete, but I'd liked contributions! ---Fire--- 1st Spell : Fireball Shoots balls of energy. Level 2 and 3 shoots 2 and 3 balls, respectively 2nd Spell : Fire Sword Does a swing of flame. Level 2 and 3 cover more range, including air. Bonus Spell : Flaming Hell Covers the whole range of the GPS. Average damage. Slow charge. ---Water--- 1st Spell : Status Remover Prevents and cure status changes like Poison or Blind except after Mute. 2nd Spell : Cure Regains a bit HP. Bonus Spell : Drain This also covers the whole GPS range. Sucks some HP from enemies and cures herself. Slow. Unless you only have Cure 1, don't use it too much. ---Wind--- 1st Spell : Poison Sends a wave of Poison. It goes through one line. So aim well so that multiple enemies get inflicted. 2nd Spell : Ki Blast Very fast but small, it can blow your enemies cornering you a while so that you can escape to a safer place. Bonus Spell : Paralysis Makes your opponent unable to move for a while. No damage. ---Earth--- 1st Spell : DefenseUP Makes your defense go up. Nothing else. Not permaneant. 2nd Spell : Unknown I don't know what this does, anyone care to tell? Bonus Spell : Energyball Charges a projectile that circles Aya. Enemies who touch it will get hurt. Works for one enmey only. Can charge up to 3 projectiles. Useful in only some cases like the horses. Higher level last longer and cover a bigger area. Higher levels saves MP on the long run. ************************** 6d. Learning magic spells* ************************** Learning magic spells are pretty hard now. You can learn any spell anytime you desire now, provided that you have enough EXPs. You earn EXPs after battles. Points vary with the enemies levels. You can upgrade each spell to Level 3. Be careful how you spend your EXPs! ----===---- Walkthrough ----===---- Day 1 - 4 Sept 2000, M.I.S.T. Centre, Los Angeles NOTE: By the end of Day 1 your recommended time is 45 minutes. Longer is OK, but spending too much time here is useless. You start of at the shooting gallery. You should learn the battle controls here. Choose first option, then a BGM and press cancel. Select the only gun and choose your difficulty, ranging from 1 to 5. You should start with Level 1 first. It will start. The pop-up windows tell you what to do, as it is essential in battles. I don't read Jap, so I can't translate it, so here's the down-to-earth guide. Whenever the target board comes up and in view, hold Square and press R1 to shoot. Go through the targets by pressing either left or right. When out of ammo, just shoot once to reload. After the practice you can see how you fared. Go out of the room and also the one after that. Walk forward and a cutscene will ensue. I don't know what they are talking about but it's not important so skip it (look under Secrets). Go out of the door by your partner and enter the next one you see. You can buy weapons, ammo, and items here. Talk to Jodie (in uniform) and she'll present 3 options. The first one is buy stuff, second is a BP explanation (I think) and the final one is Thank you and Goodbye. Potions are recommended here but don't buy any ammo, you'll acquire 500 bullets afterwards. Go out of the store and run down the path to the Carpark. Go out and turn to her right. Run to the shelf to get a Lvl.1 Potion. Pierce will be there. Just talk twice to him and choose the first option to hear him babble about some sightings of NMCs in Acropolis Tower. Then choose the second option to go there. (If you need to save, which I don't recommend yet, you can go to the end of the Carpark. You'll see a telephone there, which will be your save points.) ****************************************** 4 September 2000, Acropolis Tower, 8.59PM* ****************************************** After the FMV sequence just walk towards the officer and they'll talk. Not important here. Continue walking straight and then she'll talk again. This time you get access to the Tower and Aya will automatically go up on the elevator. After that another scene will show. Useless thing again. When you arrive, go into the menu to equip your police stick. Yes, that's right, the police wooden stick. In many cases, the stick proved itself to be more useful than the default gun you have. Of course, that's only for some cases. Go out and run across the room, past the many dead SWAT members. You'll see a scene of an NMC. After that to her right is the Tower Map. Copy it down. Once you reach the other side of the room a cutscene will show a monster by a ringing phone booth. It will disappear when you get there. Don't pick up the phone yet, go into the door beside the phone. Run to the Coca-Cola can dispensing machine and the dying SWAT member will give you a key item. Keep this. Go out again and save. Go down the first flight of stairs near the place where you came in. Check the map if you don't know what I mean. Don't go down the other one yet. To her left are 500 9mm bullets. Take it. Opposite the bullets is a dead officer which will have a Lvl.2 Potion with him. Equip your police stick (this sounds ridiculous but it actually saves you time and make the battle easier) and go down the other flight of stairs which is on the left hand side of the map. After you go down, turn right and run forward to launch into your first battle, after seeing an NMC attacking a SWAT officer. Kill it. Aya will then talk to him and he'll die shortly. Opposite the SWAT is an entrance to the cafeteria. Equip your gun first. Go in and approach the waitress. Watch the FMV & then the following scene. After killing it, check her body for an item. Rupert will come help you as needed. After that you'll end up outside the restaurant. Go up the stairs and and go down the other flight of identical stairs, to her right. There'll be an elevator there but it's not accessible so go in the other door which you'll unlock. Move around the fountain with blood and into the blue door. Go in and prepare for a battle. The stick will still be your best weapon here. After that you'll see a yellow box to your left of the first screen. Take the key from it and enter the door opposite it. Run forward and there'll be a terminal to put your key in to her right. Put the key into the left keyhole and you'll be able to go up the elevator. Don't go there yet. Opposite it is a board with some musical notes. If you have some music experience find out the values of the question mark. Exit the room and there'll be another room further down, which is the entrance to the restaurant counter, to her right too. You should use your gun here although the stick will do just as good. Then go to the end of the room and take the thing from the fridge. Make sure to check the waiter for a free Lvl.1 Potion. Exit and go out. Go in the door on her right and you'll end up in the cafeteria again. Pick up the newspaper on the table which you saw the waitress change into a monster. Go back and go up the elevator. Make sure you have the gun with 500 bullets loaded here. Put your stick and gun into your attachments list plus a Lvl.2 Potion. Proceed up. The next area is easy and staright-forward. Just follow this strategy: when you go up the elevator, use the gun. Then check the guy beside the Coke machine to get a new armor. Equip. After you go down use your gun again and after that use the Baton. Hit bats or rats with the stick, cause you can still hit properly without much aiming when you get Blind or Poison. Keep going until you hear gunshots. After that is another SWAT so talk to him and get his rifle. Equip. Go in the double-doors earlier into the Sanctuary. Inside, you'll see a scene where Rupert will be attacked by a crazy person wearing SWAT uniform. His name is No. 9. After that event pick up the key he left on the floor and go to the left side of the building to hear someone talking. After he disappears go to the place he escaped to find a hidden time-bomb behind the statue! Head your way back. Go out the Sanctuary. Head back to the place where you inserted the key to activate the elevator and this time use the key with the skeleton keychain on the second keyhole. The water in the fountain will drain out. Go out and check the dry fountain to get a grenade launcher-type of weapon with only four grenades. Save this till I tell you so. Go back to the place where you found the time-bomb and take the keycard near the door he escaped. Go out of the Sanctuary and go in the opposite gate to the Bridge. In there is a terminal that lets you key in a password to drain out the water. The key is the musical notes in the room in the place where you put in the 2 keys which is 561. Go through the now safe bridge. Try to go through the door and somebody will slam something against the metal door so hard until it makes it, erm, bumpy? Anyway go in the door. After that you'll see an NMC lying on the floor, weak. Heal up but leave about 20MP left. Put any potions you have into the Attachents area. Make sure you have at least 3 spells learned. They are the Fire Spell, which you have at the beginning of the game, and the two Water spells. One can heal you and the other one can stop status changes for a limited time. If you don't you're in for some trouble. Having the AntiBody move is also good. It is the first spell in the Earth element. I won't explain much but if you don't have it go back and battle some more to gain EXPs. It's hard if you forgot to drain the Bridge, but it'll be harder if you don't learn it. Turn right and run up the stairs, past the time-bomb. Save here and go up. Prepare for a boss battle. Equip the Grenade Launcher. Put on your best armor and heal up to full HP and MP if possible. You'll arrive on the rooftop, no, the passage to the Heliport. Walk around to get a good look of your battle arena-to-be. Notice the cables in the middle of each turn? They'll be your main weapon. After exploring, go back to the place you came from. As you're about to get turn into the first side of the building (from where you came), make sure you have everything I mentioned. Run down and before the exit No. 9 will appear. They'll have a brief chat but things will be pretty 'heated-up' :) if they talk any longer. With that, they battle. ********************************************************************** Boss Battle : No. 9 ------------------- He Has : A cunning laugh :), smoke bombs that make you tired and a sword-like thing that can suddenly fuse up with fire. His HP : 1620-1625HP His MP : 0 Weakness : Electric Cables ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Aya should have : 120HP or more and 25MP or more. She should have 2 Level 1 Water spells. Armed with Grenade Gun. Attachments should contain : Rifle gun, MP Potions and Normal Potions. spare bullets. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Strategy : This is simple, if you're quick thinking. When it starts and he laughs pump him with one grenade. That should stop him. Cast the spell that can stop status changes. Run to next screen and wait for him to come near. Change to rifle. Stand about 5 feet away from the cables. When he is next to the cable shoot it and it would electrify him. Quickly shoot him with your rifle till you run out of bullets. Do the spell again to repel against his bomb. Change back to your grenade launcher and run to the next screen, and repeat. Note that the cables can only stay electrified for a short while and after that you can't go back again. Also take the chance to shoot it because you can't go back there to shoot afterwards. When you finally reach the end and your grenade launcher's used up change to Rifle and keep pumpimg him with lead. The last cable has another hit target which will spray smoke, or water at No. 9. At the end of the road make sure you are always protected with the Status spell and make sure you pray hard so that he doesn't cast his fire blade hit. Cure often and use some Fire spells every little while to push him back. He will be dead. Easy, no? It might take some practice but you'll win. If you get hit by his bomb you'll die quickly so use a spell after it. ********************************************************************** After he goes away, board the lift and choose the first option to go up to the heliport. That's it! The day's over. Watch everything. Then Day 2 will follow. You should finish this under 45 minutes. ******************************************************* Day 2 - 5 September 2000, M.I.S.T. Centre, Los Angeles* ******************************************************* NOTE: The recommended time is less than 2 hours. Rupert and Aya will be talking to Baldwin. After that you'll end up at the Carpark, checking your car. Pierce will come in. Game starts now. Inspect her trunk to store and take items. Take the Potions. Go to the First Aid kit to get a new item. After that do what you have to do. Nothing has changed so just go to the Shooting Arena to earn more BP points and buy weapons and armor. Don't buy Potions, you'll have enough. You'll lose all weapons except the Baton and the Hand Gun. Talk to Pierce twice and choose the first option to hear him babble & then choose the second option to leave the place. You'll arrive at the main event, DryField. *********************************************************** Day 2 - 5 September 2000, Dry Field, Mojave Desert, Nevada* *********************************************************** ==-Contributed by Nick Thien. Edited by Zemien.-== When you reach Nevada, an ammo box resides next to it. You can keep and retrieve items at the trunk. Make sure you have at least 6 places free. Further down is a telephone booth, next to a grocery store. The door is locked, so save and go through the gate at the end. Equip your Assault Rifle. At the other side of the gate are new monsters that you will encounter frequently. **Hint: When fighting with the monster try to shoot it once or twice then run to the side. If you don't you will regret it. Each knock deals about 15-30 damage. If you stand by solid wall or pipes, you can time your evade. They will hit the wall or pipe and get themselves hurt. They will lag and you should kill it quickly** There are only two rooms accessible here and two gates to other areas. Search through all rooms first. One is the first door you encounter. Nothing here but check the photo hanging on the wall. remember his age. Go out. The other room is the door after the gate, which is after the first room. Go in and battle with the monsters. Take down the age of the other photo as well, and the check the closet to the right of the picture twice to get a Lvl.1 Potion. Go out. The gate I mentioned anyway is not worth exploring yet, so go to the other one, opposite the first and second rooms. Check the map if you don't know. In there you will see a well, so equip your Tonfa Baton. Go to the garbage can and search through it. And at the end of the area you can find a potion. Then stand beside the well so that you can see Aya's face, and she is facing you. Check the well to fight bats. When a batch comes up just hit them with the baton and don't turn anywhere. They won't be able to scratch you this way (hopefully). Go through the door near the well to enter the garage. Go to the end of the garage to find a switch. Choose the first option. Go to the switch at the entrance and press Up & Turn. Check the car's trunk to find special shotgun shells. Later go to the front end of the car. There is a gate near the right side of the switch. Choose the first option. Go back to the switch and press Turn and Down. Go through the gate and press the switch if you haven't done so. Go through the metal gate. Meet Gary. A short cut scene. He'll give you a key to Room No. 6. There's nothing else here so go back out and go to the second floor of the motel. Go to room No.6 at the top. Save game and go out to the balcony. FMV scene and shows and unidentified person. Go down the ladder and around the fence. Go to the end of the fence. Press the switch with the first option and go to the entrance. The gate closes suddenly. Now those 'horses' are on your tail so open the gate again and go in, just in time. I suggest you cast Anti-Body here and shoot like you're mad. Use your magic spells also. They will come in one by one and make sure you kill them all. This is not an optional battle, you cannot run away from this. Make use of the fence because it will deal 15 damage to them if they hit the fence. After you're done the kind soul at the top of the Water Tower will lower a ladder for you. Before you go up learn new spells or upgrade them. Go up and meet Kyle Madigan. After the scene walk forward to see another FMV. Press the switch to open the gate. Near the switch is another ladder leading up. Up there check the dead man for two items. Make sure you get them and go down twice. Here you'll encounter large scorpions. Thankfully their AI stinks because they just walk towards you. Stand outside the gate and the whole bunch will stay at the other side. For safety precautions go to the switch so that none can come out. Kill all of them and collect free EXPs and BPs for your flawless victory. The shotgun works VERY well here. They blow up with one shot.. Go down and go to the room on the South wall. It is to the right of the ladder you climbed down from Room No. 6. Get a key item that looks like a bottle opener with a coke picture in the refrigerator. Go through the door near the entrance and check the place around the toilet for the DryField map. Copy it down. Go to the end of the room where there is another door. Beside it is a Coke bottle for refreshing your MP. Unlock the door and go all the way back to the Water Tower. Near the gate is another door. Go in and look out for a horse. Go to the Intercom and choose the first option. Later check the Intercom again to see a key. Use the bottle opener you got earlier. Slowly move the cursor to the top part of the vent and move to the right slowly and you will get the key. Now go through the door. You return to the garage so go through the metal gate. Gary is not there anymore. Now use the door on the North Wall. Follow the dog. Talk to Gary and choose the second option twice to progress the story. Or choose the first option to shop. Buy Potions or upgrade armor. **Hint: Clear all the NMCs to buy the M4A1 and at least 100 bullets or more.** After that go out and follow the dog to the rope. Go to the well and use the rope. Go down the rope. You'll meet some Bats there so take them down with a Shotgun or the Baton. The gate beside you is locked so just go the other way to the other gate. Go through the gate and on the North wall you will find a switch. Go back through the gate and check the hole to get an item. Go back through the gate and fight a sub boss. ********************************************************************** Sub-Boss Battle : Invisible Spider ---------------------------------------------------------------------- He Has : Invisibility, Slash Attack His HP : ? His MP: ? Weakness : M4A1 Flash Grenades ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Aya should have : M4AI Rifle with Flash Grenades and some Potions just in case. Atatchments should contain : Some Potions ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Strategy : You can still win without the Flash Grenades, but you'll lose more HP and be harder. Use the flash grenades of the M4A1 the make the Sub-Boss appear and drop. Go to the end of the West wall and press the switch to make the battle a little easier. ********************************************************************** After the boss enter the door near the switch .It's a bit hidden so you must light up the place first. In there are enemies just kill them all. You should shoot the flying ones first (just once) so that they won't be able to fly. Then finish up the mess. The barrels near the door has a box behind it. Go there and take the item in it. Exit and go up the ladder and you will enter the grocery store. Go out of the grocery store through the South Door to save and get ammo. Later go back in and find the healing items in the place where they keep the cold drinks. After that go through the East door. Here you will hear a woman scream. Ignore them and kill the horses. The first door beside the entrance has some enemies. Kill them. Go out and go into the second door. The third door is locked. In there is a closet at the back. Check the side to reveal something locked there. You must actually see the two hinges there. Now go talk to Gary and then go back to the place where his red truck is. At the end of the room is a shelf near a trashbox in the middle. Check it properly to get the Wrench. Go back to the closet and use the Wrench. The closet will open. Save first and go in when you're ready for a final No. 9 battle encounter... ======================================================================== Boss Battle : No. 9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ He Has : A sword swing His HP: 1150HP His MP:0 Weakness: Nothing particular ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aya should have : Over 100HP and the Grenade Launcher. Poison and Fireball (Level 2 if possible). Attachments should contain : A few Lvl.1 Potions and Lvl.1 Mana Potion ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sorry to make you feel all tensed up but this battle is the easiest boss battle ever. All you need to do first is to stay at the corner of the room and shoot Poison at him. He is always in a a blocking stance so don't bother to shoot him yet. Go up to him, and wait for him to hold up his sword, and shoot. Timing is required, because if you're too early he'll go back to his Defense stance and if you're too late he'll hit you. Go back a bit and reload then go back in front and attack. Once you get the hang of the timing shoot the Fireball. It'll hopefully inflict more damage. If you're confused and don't want to wait, use the M4A1 Assault Rifle and shoot from a distance, and frequently use spells. This is not too recommended. Easy, no? ======================================================================== After the scenes Kyle will join you. Go to where your car is and find that it has been thrashed. Fight the not so lovingly uncute rabbits-cum-frogs. Then go find Gary yourself. Get the key and the item in the box opposite Gary. Go to the Lobby, which is opposite the stairs. Go to the Cash Register and press #3033. You'll get a key. Go up the stairs and into the double-door room. Go to the end of the room and take the empty bottle. Friends will pay a visit. After that go to the safe, which is left of the bottle. Enter combo as 4487 and take item. Go back to Lobby and save. Go to where your car is and fill the bottle up with petrol at the gas station. Go to Gary's red truck and give him the bottle. He'll fill it up and he'll ask you to go rest. But don't! Participate in my own Sub-Quest, called Operation: Wipeout! ------=======------ Operation : Wipeout ------=======------ This is a totally optional part 'created' by me. Since you'll be facing an extremely oversized boss, you should take up this challenge. Open up the map and you'll see places in red. Those are places with NMCs in it. Your mission (if you choose to accept it) is to kill ALL NMCs in Dryfield. Don't let your HP get too low, but don't use Potions just for keeping up your HP, because you'll need all the stuff that you can. Note that you can now go in any room in the Motel so don't pass the chance up. If you can finish it, you're really good. Save occasionally if you need to and at the end you'll have enough BP and EXP to learn these few spell essential in killing the upcoming boss. After you finish this subquest, learn these spells if possible: Level 3 Fireball (First Fire Spell) Level 1 Cure (Second Water Spell) Level 1 Poison (First Wind Spell) Level 1 Antibody (First Earth Spell) Go to Gary and buy these stuff if possible: Grenade Launcher 20+ Grenades HP Potions and MP Potions with the rest of your money That's it! -----------------------------End SubQuest------------------------------- ---===--- Continued ---===--- Go to G&R Bar to speak to Kyle. He sorts of hesitates. Leave him there. Store all other stuff in a box and only keep the M4A1 Assault Rifle with lots of 5.56 Bullets and a Grenade Launcher. If you can't buy this things play Operation: Wipeout above. Beside the 2 guns and ammo load the remaining places with Potions for both HP and MP. Include healing items too. Keep all healing items in Attachments. Equip Grenade Launcher Then go to Room 6 and save. Examine the bed and choose second option to go to sleep. Watch the FMV to get a good picture of Cannon-Mouth. Hmmm... is that a toothpick in his teeth? Equip all stuff! ======================================================================== Boss Battle : Cannon-Mouth ------------------------------------------------------------------------ He Has : Flamethrower, Palm Stomp, Palm Swipe His HP : 4160HP His MP : 0 His Weakness : Grenades ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aya should have : 140+HP, M4A1 Rifle with 150+ bullets, Grenade Launcher with 15+ grenades Attachments should contain : All healing items and a loaded M4A1. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This big boy has a very bad attitude, and very bad breath! He'll start the parade by trying to slam you. Start running up or down a bit so that he will miss. Then cast Poison on him. He'll do the Flamethrower so dodge. Piss him off with a grenade. Always stand in front of the 'T' junction. When Poison effect depeletes use again. He'll mostly do his Flame move but if his arms come up go back to the 'T' junction and go in to the staircase part so that he'll miss. If he gets you make sure you heal properly and if he misses pump more grenades or do the Fireball move. Once you run out of bullets manage your spell casting. Switch to the M4A1 if you have to (Make sure it's in your Attachments loaded). After you in the junction and he misses make sure to come out and shoot. If you don't come out he'll get you with his flames. Mid-way he'll get his own face toasted. He'll get more powerful after that so good luck! Note that if you take your time, he'll grab you by its arms and deal a lot of damage, and you don't get to reload and use spells. ======================================================================== Go down to where Gary is. Hopefully you don't end up on the right side, cause you'll have to do much walking. After talking with him, he'll give you his truck key. Buy anymore items or ammo then go to the garage and talk to Kyle. Save if you want (because the next part might make you die) then talk to him and choose the second option. Off you go. ************************************************************* Day 3 - 6 September 2000, Outskirts of Mojave Desert, Nevada* ************************************************************* This is the last stage, and the longest and most revealing. Upon reaching some NMCs will come, don't shoot, let Kyle handle it. After that Kyle will lose a condirable amount of HP, talk to him the run to the western side of the scren (left side). Mutant horses will come, blow them apart the go back to the starting point. Lots of those horses will come so stand close to the ledge, and when one of them comes at you, run to the side to let His Majesty fall down :). Repeat as necessary but be careful not to get knocked down by the horses, or else it's Game Over. Note that some can still climb up. After collecting the rather genorous amounts of EXP enter the mine to the West side. From now just keep moving forward until you reach a bridge which she, surprisingly, cannot jump over. Now go back two doors and you'll find a side room. Just check the map if you don't underrstand. Choose the first option to push it down, then take the plank next to it. Go back to the bridge and use the plank to gain access. Exterminate the bats then go in the door on her right. There's a phone, an ammo box and a terminal. Check the terminal at the end of the room and take the pin and put it in the second position and operate the switch on the left. Save now because you'l be facing a considerably hard boss. Go out and go into the large gate. Watch the scene, and be prepared... ======================================================================== Boss Battle : Mutant King Horse 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ He Has : Knockdown, Swipedown His HP : +/-500HP His MP : 0 His Weakness : Grenades ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aya should have : 160+HP, M4A1 Rifle with 150+ bullets, Grenade Launcher with 15+ grenades or a full M950 machine gun. Attachments should contain : All healing items and a loaded M4A1 & GL. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ You start off with it attacking you. Use the M950 (if you don't have it scan through Day 2.) and blow off the fuel barrels. There are 2 of them. Also shoot the electric terminal close to the second barrel. It should be fully lighted. Switch back to your Grenade Launcher and shoot it a few times. Make sure you do either 2 things, running in zig-zag fashion, or shooting it. He'll die in a very short while. ========================================================================= Aya will check the corpse and get some items which you should take. Then it seems that wasn't the end.... ======================================================================== Boss Battle : Mutant King Horse 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ He Has : Knockdown, Swipedown His HP : 3000+HP His MP : 0 His Weakness : Grenades ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aya should have : 160+HP, M4A1 Rifle with 150+ bullets, Grenade Launcher with 15+ grenades or a full M950 machine gun. Attachments should contain : All healing items and a loaded M4A1 & M950. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Same rule applies here. But this time, make sure you're really moving around! It's faster and meaner. As a precaution use Antibody (as you always should). The grenades are just too slow so don't bother. Shoot once and change to the M950. Shoot five bullets, run zig-zag, and repeat. After a while, it should end. Phew... ========================================================================= OK, now go back to the room where you put the pins. Take out the first pin and put the two pins into the first and fourth hole. Activate it. Now reload on ammo if you want to and save. Go into the room again and go to the end. There will be a bike here. Just check the opening next to it. Check again and walk a bit. You'll encounter a stronger version of the spider. This time is for real. Try not too stay put and use the second Wind spell to blow him off guard. Then teach him a lesson. The bonus Earth spell works very well here too. Just don't waste MP. Go to the end and go down the elevator. Run past the first two doors. Go to the one in the last corner. This is a straight path and go through it. Be wary of the security guns, they need to be destroyed with guns, not spells. After that you'll end up in a pecuiliar place. Hmmm... Sorry but that's it for now. I've been wanting to finish the game first before I proceed with the walkthrough, hence the delay. Wait a while. ----=====----- Personal Review -----=====----- Square has finally released Parasite Eve II (PE2) for the PSX. Does it still has its charm of the first, or is Aya's mitochondrias failing? Actually, it's neither. Curious? Read on... Storyline: ** PE2 is one of the few direct sequels, where the main character and the main storyline for the first and its sequel remain the same. Aya is a girl haunted by past memories. I won't spoil it, but the story is falling overboard. Storyline is NOT spectacular here. You just have to decide it. All you have to do is go one place, shoot NMCs, fight bosses and solve puzzles. Hmm.. Aya with a vengance? Graphics: ***** Same old, same old. Backgrounds have always been the same, except with more animations. They all look like every Resident Evil game, extremely beautiful backgrounds and sceneries, but with not so nice 3D sprites. Square has made one step further, but they could've have put in some facial expressions like FF8. Unless you notice carefully, the minor clippings won't be much of a matter. The FMVs are of Square quality. No skippings have been noticed. Sound: *** Ahh, the sound of every game matters. KOF98 for the PSX sounds as if it has been recorded in a bathroom and some sounds are out of sync. PE2 does a better job, because they were careful not to include voice acting. 90% of the voice acting in games suck big time. PE2 was wise not to put in anything like that, but so did everything else. Only a few areas are provided with music, which aren't so spine-tingling. The footsteps are excellent. It responds to the surface you're walking on. Presentation: *** Not too grand. The intro of the first is more engaging. It actually looks like a promo video instead of a cool intro it could've been. The menu navigation are pretty okay, but sometimes can be a headache too. Controls: **** Controls are changed and more precise. Up means going forward and not going north like the first. Battles are easy to handle by the way. Overall: **** PE2 is good. It's short and sweet, but fans of the original might want to rent this first. Those who want something beyond RE3, get this! --===-- Hints!! --===-- -After playing through the whole game twice, I've found something very interesting. I can pass the game without the Holy Water spell, but without upgrading it, I can't get the Bonus spell, which is pretty essential. Hmm.. what does it really do? -To skip FMVs and most cutscenes press Start. -To get extra spells for each element make all spells in the element you want to Level 3. -To ambush your opponent before they see you or to battle first when enemy is in sight press Aim. Battle should start. Kill them before they hurt you. -After you finish the game another mode will open up. They're harder and need more skills. More modes will open up once you finish the extra modes. -On the map, it pays to know what color means what. The grey areas are areas locked or unaccessed, and the red areas are the areas with NMCs. Take this advice to heart and you'll succeed. -----=====----- GameShark Codes -----=====----- This is just so strange. The game has been out for so long yet there are no new codes.

(What I'm missing that you could fill in.) --====-- No FAQ can be considered as 'complete'. Anyone who claims to have written such a 'complete' FAQ that describes everything to how many pixels have been used for that character is a liar and should get 6 strokes of the 'rotan' (cane). Below is the list of thing that I really need help at. You can also tell me things that I've missed in my walkthrough. All mail will be credited. Thanks! Send all to this address: pe_2@usa.net ##################################################################### Any secrets that I've missed. It could range to how to get the good but boring ending to what that item is for. ##################################################################### Description of the spells, weapons and characters. This is a very critical part because I cannot read Japanese. ##################################################################### GameShark codes. They may be cheating the game and spoiling the fun but an item modifier code now is considered valuable for me at this time. Just restrain yourself from using Infinite codes, they're the codes that really mean cheating. ##################################################################### Controls for Analog Stick. Somebody tell me what the two analog sticks are used for. I'm not rich so somebody please update me. ##################################################################### Pocket Station. Tell me if there are any Pocket Station games in there. I don't think so but who knows, there might be an Easter Egg. ##################################################################### Subscribers to my new PE2 Walkthrough Program.
