Defeating Dauragon
Sion: Use Sion's last attack, the Hurricane Blitz. First, let
Dauragon hit another party member. When he is busy, use Hurricane
Blitz. When he gets up, do it again. Keep repeating this until
you defeat him. Note: No one can cover from that attack, not even
Dauragon.
Sion: Fight Dauragon, and knock him down in some way. Every time
he gets up, repeatedly use Sion's Floating Mine attack until he
is defeated.
Sion: Get Sion's Double-Knuckle attack. At first, back away from
the party and block ([R1]). Then, get behind Dauragon. You
should be able to get off three hits with the move, taking away
a significant amount of health. It is possible to fight through
all three Dauragon modes and defeat him overall with over half
your health remaining.
Volt: Use Volt's Lift Up Slam attack. Let your party distract
Dauragon, then use the Lift Up Slam attack. When he is getting
up, use it again and again until he is defeated. Do not use against
a wall or it will not work -- give him some space if he is against
the wall.
Kou: Use Kou's Tiger Frenzy attack. Use this attack non-stop,
so that Dauragon has no chance of attacking or covering. Note:
When he falls, use it the instant that he gets up.
Defeating Kaldea in panther form
Choose to fight with Sion Barzahd. When you are not
moving, press [Circle]x2 while not moving with the D-Pad.
Kou: Phone conversation
Take Kou on the first battle against MSFs at Fate.
When Kou calls Leann, you will hear what she says to Kou.
Kou: Combos
Triple Roundhouse Kick: Press [Triangle]x3.
Triple Jab: Press [Triangle]x3.
Slider: Press [Right], [Left], [Down], or [Up]
then quickly press [X].
Kou: Juggling attack
Use Kou's Circular Upper Cut for a continuos juggle.
This even works against the final Boss. Note: This does not work
on robotic opponents.
Kou: MSF signs
After you fight the one armed Dauragon, you will get
a MSF outfit. Leann Caldwell sends you a briefing of which button
makes which sign ([Square] for unparalleled friendship, [Triangle]
for old man in thought). If confronted by another MSF and you
do not understand which sign they are using, press [Square].
Sometimes they will laugh and point you to a different part of
the buildings. This will only work with certain MSF.
Sion: Three final stories
Song's story: Play with Kou or Volt through the entire game. However,
use Sion when you are going to battle with Dauragon. Sion will
think about his master.
Kaldea's story: Do not use Sion when you get separated. Use Sion
in the ship when you see the panther and in the last battle. Sion
will remember what Kaldea said.
Dominique's story: Use Sion when you get separated, when you see
the panther in the ship, and when fighting Dauragon to see Dominique's
story.
Sion: Combos
Double uppercut: Press [Square]x2.
Triple Kick: Press [Square]x3.
Mid-Air Double Kick: Press [Circle]x2.
Character attributes
Sion is the fastest of the three, but with no super
moves he is also the weakest. Volt is the strongest and is also
slow. Super moves should be performed only in an open area since
almost all of them are throws. Kou is balanced. He is faster than
Volt and stronger than Sion. When he gets Tiger Frenzy and Raging
Tiger, he is unstoppable.
Team attack
Immediately press [R2] whenever you hear one of
your teammates make a taunt. Most of the time everyone will all
team up against an enemy. This move will mostly always be blocked
by the final Boss.
Team sacrifices
Do not worry if any of your CPU controlled partners
gets defeated. As long as you are still standing, they will return
for the next battle.
After-game fights
Play as the following character to fight the corresponding
opponent after the game.
Sion: You will fight Wong after completing the entire game as
Sion.
Volt: You will no one, but you will still see Echidna at the bar
though after completing the entire game as Volt.
Kou: You will fight Leann after completing most of the game as
Kou.
Bar Fate battle
The first battle is in Bar Fate, with MSF Agents as
your opponents. This is your introductory fight. Get used to the
play mechanics and earn yourself some experience. It does not
really matter if you win this fight or not -- it is one of a few
that you can actually lose without the game ending. Get a feel
for what chains work best for the Bouncer you have chosen.
Hidden computer
During the three-way path split, choose Sion. After
defeating the two security guards, watch the intermission sequence
and you will be in a office-like room. Go straight, then left
to a door. Exit this corridor through the door on the immediate
left. Run through the bar and out the door on the other side.
Proceed left if you want to fight a security commander and a P-101,
but it is not necessary. Go down the corridor a little bit, then
left through the door. From there, follow the doors until you
go up a flight of stairs, fight five to six guards with two P-101's,
and see Kaldea the panther. Keep going and you will end up in
a sloppy little computer room. Walk up to it and check out the
information provided on the MSFs, Mugetsu, Kaldea Orchid, and
"Aggelos Anastasius".
Save health in Emergency Exit
During the Emergency Exit level, if you are low on
life or do not think you will live through the guards, you can
run past them and still escape.
Glitch: Jump between floors
In the first fight at Bar Fate, stay on the top floor.
When someone taunts, press [R2] to do a Trinity Rush. If
the person that taunted is downstairs, you will attack downstairs.
When the Trinity Rush is over you will be back on the top floor
instantly.
