Crossed Lines - Part A -
------------------------
AEON PULSE POWER RECEIVED
Ignore the Seekers for now, and try to get up on the sides of the chamber to
make things easier. Use Surge or Lift to keep the Seekers away from you.
After all the Seekers have been taken care of Kchell will retreat through the
door in the back. Follow him.
New Objective: Pursue and capture Kchell
For this hallway, Surge and Lift will work wonders once again, however things
can get ugly, so Negate might come in handy near the end. The Seekers in the
back, near Kchell have rocket launchers so have Surge or Negate handy. Try to
push or throw the Seekers out the windows on the left. A ship will eventually
appear outside the windows and will shoot rockets down at you. Shield
yourself with Surge or Negate, and blast the ship with Aeon Pulse or a weapon.
Once Kchell flees through the door you can follow him; there is no need to
dispose of everything in this hall.
Follow Kchell outside and...
CUTSCENE
BOSS FIGHT
============================================================================
******************
- Barrakka Bahma -
******************
New Objective: Defeat Barrakka Bahma
The first of the really good boss fights...
Immediately equip Negate and Surge. Lay out an energy shield with Negate or
use the Negate energy shield bubble to make your way up to where the boss is.
Once you're on the circular platform, set up energy shields to stop the boss'
fire. He will eventually crouch on the ground, and then jump into the air
sending a shockwave of fire over the circular platform. To avoid this you
will need to jump, or better yet, charge jump a few seconds after he crouches.
When you land and he lands, use Surge to knock him off the platform. He will
eventually come back up, only this time he will be on his spacecraft...yipe!
Now turn around and run all the way back to the door. He will rain down fire
from his spacecraft onto the circular platform and the walkway as you run back
to the door. To make the battle look more epic, move the camera angle to
where Gideon is running toward the screen when you're running away from
Barrakka's fire.
Now he has an entirely different pattern. Equip Negate and Aeon Pulse. He
will come up from the bottom on either the right or left side. As he rises,
target one of the sides of the spacecraft, duck, then set up an energy shield.
His first attack is a machine gun blast. Stay behind the energy shield until
he stops. Now, rush out and fire Aeon Pulse blasts until you totally run out.
You might have the time to slightly charge and get one more out before he
starts his next attack. He eventually shoots rockets down at you. Hide
behind the energy shield and you will be fine. Rinse and repeat this method
until one of the sides of his spacecraft has been destroyed. Now he will
retreat back to the circular platform and the battle will start from square
one. Equip Negate and Surge once again, go to the platform, dodge the
shockwave, wait for him to land, then knock him off with Surge. Once again,
run back toward the door.
Destroy the other side of his spacecraft, knock him off the ledge one more
time afterwards, and then target him while he's on the spacecraft. He keeps
the same patterns throughout the entire battle.
============================================================================
CUTSCENE
------------------------
Crossed Lines - Part B -
------------------------
After the cutscene, go the way Gideon is facing, across the river and toward
the waterfall in the background. Seekers will ambush your party. To the left
of the waterfall is a path that leads up to a cave. Go inside.
New Objective: Proceed through tunnels
Go through the cave and exit the other side. Immediately after exiting the
cave, go down the path to the right. Seekers will attack shortly. Keep going
straight.
CUTSCENE
New Objective: Proceed to temple entrance
Fight the Seekers off and run up the path to the left. Once in front of the
temple, Seekers will ambush you once again. Grenades are recommended here.
Go toward the temple doors.
CUTSCENE
------------------------
Crossed Lines - Part C -
------------------------
Follow your team down the temple halls. You will eventually reach an area
where you must jump to another ledge. Make sure to take out the Seekers in
the area before doing this. There are some rocks to the right side that can
be hopped over instead of jumping the gap; use the charge jump. Seekers will
be waiting down the hall on the other side. Go down the hall and out onto the
ledge about halfway down on the right. The camera angle will change. Make
your way down by going along the sides to avoid taking damage from the fall.
Seekers will attack, possibly, before you get all the way down.
Go down the hall with the light at the end. The camera angle will change
revealing a staircase up ahead. Go down the staircase. A few Seekers will
pop up. Go towards the bridge ahead.
CUTSCENE
Jump over the bridge and go toward the doors. Fight off the Seekers until you
get an "Objective Complete" message. Go through the doors and into the next
room with the large statue.
CUTSCENE
TIMESHIFT POWER RECEIVED
New Objective: Find entrance to Seeker stronghold
Equip your new power and get rid of the Seekers that invade the room. After
you have decimated your foes go down the path to the right or left in the back
of the room. Fight through the Seekers and turn left again. Three of the
bigger Seekers will break through the wall on the right eventually. Go down
the path up ahead.
CUTSCENE
------------------------
Crossed Lines - Part D -
------------------------
Fall down below and activate the middle console on the left. Surge and
Timeshift work well to keep the Seekers away.
New Objective: Proceed with Aurelians across upper hangar
Go up the elevator in the back to get back to where you were. Go through the
door with the green light on top. Surge or Aeon Pulse the Seekers in the
background and follow the platform around. Destroy the ship along the way and
enter the door at the end. Go down the hallway (while fighting off Seekers of
course) and get on the elevator.
Ride it to the top, exit, and then go around the side. More Seekers and a
ship will be waiting. Use the rocket launchers on the side mixed with Surge
to dispose of the ship.
New Objective: Use cargo lift to access lower hangar
Go to the center area, and use the console that the Shock Trooper and Seekers
are guarding to activate the cargo lift.
CUTSCENE
------------------------
Crossed Lines - Part E -
------------------------
New Objective: Defend Aurelians while they open door
Take out all the Seekers in the area until they stop coming and go through the
door at the bottom level in the back of the room.
New Objective: Proceed across hangar
Go into the hangar on the other side and board the Seeker Tank. Blast
everything in site...Shock Troopers, Seekers, Seeker ships, tanks, and
turrets. Take the tank up the ramp at the far corner and blast the big
Seekers near the doorway. Once things die down, get out of the tank and go
through the door at the top of the ramp.
New Objective: Proceed to orbital relay generator
Head past the hall with glass windows and activate the elevator a few rooms
ahead.
CUTSCENE
------------------------
Crossed Lines - Part F -
------------------------
In this room you must activate four switches in no certain order. After the
Seekers on the bottom floor have been taken care of, go up either side and
start activating the switches. There is one on the right, two in the center,
and one on the left. As the switches are activated, more Seekers will pop up
so be ready.
New Objective: Proceed to Orbital Control Center
Go through the center door at the top. Take care of the shock trooper on the
right first, then go after the turrets. If you stand right below the turrets
and use surge they cannot hit you. After the first one is destroyed the top
will take damage from the explosion leaving it extremely weak.
Go through either door and into the hall up ahead. Break through the Seekers
and head outside. There will be a Seeker on the right and left corner as the
door opens.
New Objective: Use console to focus beam relay
Get inside the tower. Watch out for the Seekers outside and overhead. Go up
the lift on the right side...it's a little hard to notice. Activate either
console at the top.
New Objective: Survive until the fleet arrives
Destroy the Seekers and the ship outside the tower. Take cover in the shelter
if things get ugly. Actually, you can just hide inside the tower the whole
time and wait for help to arrive.
CUTSCENE
------------------------
Crossed Lines - Part G -
------------------------
It really seems as if there is a cutscene missing here but...Sweet Mother of
Pearl! Those treacherous Auralian's must have cut Gideon's hair! Nah, it's
just the wrong choice of Gideon character models once again...silly
developers.
Anyway, use your powers to take care of the traitor Aurelians and go toward
the watery set of doors.
New Objective: Proceed into Senate Halls
Go through the doors and into the hall ahead. More treacherous Aurelians will
ambush you, and be sure to kill them all until you get the next objective
before going through the doors or you will activate a nasty glitch (See boss
fight below for details).
New Objective: Proceed into Senate Chamber
Go through the next set of watery doors.
CUTSCENE
SHATTER POWER RECEIVED
BOSS FIGHT
============================================================================
**********
- Banath -
**********
New Objective: Kill the traitor Banath
Kind of like the first two boss battles, he's not really that tough of a boss;
in fact, with the powers you now possess this battle seems unfair. Just about
any power works well for this battle with the exception of Negate. Banath
will jump around the Senate Chamber and try to punch you as he lands. If you
don't have some means to push him off, he will stay right next to you.
Aurelians will come at you nonstop during this whole battle. Multi-Lift makes
the battle incredibly easy, since all you have to do is keep lifting and
tossing Banath and the other Aurelians off the side or shoot them with Aeon
Pulse or Shatter. I personally use Surge and Shatter. The battle can be
taken into the Council Sitting room if you so desire.
GLITCH ALERT
If Banath DOES NOT appear read this...
"When you proceed into the senate hall, the checkpoint trigger is to defeat
all the rebel Aurelians. The developers, however, inconveniently left the door
at the end of the hall that leads to the senate chamber unlocked. So each time
I went through the hall, I used the timeshift to slow everyone around me and
run straight through to the senate chamber without triggering the "proceed to
senate chamber" objective. Once in the chamber, the doorway back to the hall
is locked, and since the "kill the traitor Banath" objective has not been
triggered, he does not spawn and the doors do not open. I guess the lesson is
to stick to the objectives religiously and always kill everyone to be safe."
If you happen to activate this glitch choose "Restart Level" on the pause menu
and it will take you back to beginning of "Crossed Lines Part G".
(thanks to spartan air on the Majesco forums)
============================================================================
New Objective: Survive until help arrives
Fight off the Aurelians in the hall. Enorym will actually help you out quite
a bit in this fight if you let him. Aurelians will keep pouring into the hall
until a good bit has been killed. Help will arrive eventually. Exit the
hallway when you can.
