*****************************
Chase Down Metal Head Beasts
*****************************
Obtained: Quantum Reflector
I like this mission because you don't have to drive, just shoot :p. Your job
is to destroy metal head after metal head until one of them drops the artifact.
Keep a close eye on your map here and watch for the green dots. Shoot each and
every metal head, intercepting the purple eco balls and missiles that come your
way. Don't bother firing until the reticle turns red, until you want to do
little to no damage. That's pretty much it for this mission. Talk to Damas
afterward. Then follow the disk to reach the car line.
*************************
Defend Spargus' Front Gate
*************************
Obtained: Beam Generator
A mission of medium difficulty. You must defend the Spargus gate from attacks.
The meter on the top left is the armor remaining on the gate, if it is depleted
from to many enemy attacks, you lose. Your main concern is taking out that large
dark red dots on the map. Defeating all these marauders will complete the
task. Never stay still in this mission, always be driving around shooting
anything and everything in sight. Staying stationary will mean the marauders
can sneak up from behind you and attack the gate. Be sure to use a car with a
big cannon like grenade launcher, like the Dune Hopper. Follow the cliff icon
to begin the next mission.
****************************
Take Out Marauder Stronghold
****************************
Obtained: The Prism
After driving along the bridge you will be ambushed by marauders and catapults.
Don't worry though as this part is fairly easy. Keep on the run and equip your
wave concussor, shooting round after round of shockwaves. The occasional gyro
burst wouldn't hurt either. You can also pull out your needle laser and hold
down the R1 button to help clear the room. After this section it gets abet
tricky.
During the cut scene you will see 4 marauders card drive off. Quickly jump in
the dune hopper and begin the chase. After you exit the bridge to first car
can be found to your left (the green and red flashing dot). Drive up to it as
fast as you can, using boosts if necessary and commence fire. After the first
car is destroyed proceed through the tunnel, taking a right at the fork to find
the next. Begin the chase, again using a boost is needed and begin opening
fire. During this part you can fire whilst on top of the slightly elevated
dunes to get more range. Proceed through the ruins to find the next marauder.
This car is difficult to destroy as other marauders (red dots) will always get
in your way, either shoot non-stop, jump or simply drive out of the way to
dodge them. After destroying that marauder one more will remain. This should
prove less difficult that the third provided you have enough boosts (shoot red
dots) simply let rip until your right behind him and open fire. After the
mission follow the blue mask then the red tree to find the forest.
***************************
Beat Pillar Ring Challenges
***************************
Prepare for a long and time consuming mission this time round. The 5 on the
right hand side of the screen means that you have to complete 5 ring challenges
before the mission is complete. To activate the challenges you will need to
jump kick the rock face' nose (X + Circle). The only advice I can give to you
on these challenges is to take it slow and follow the blue line to a tee.
After you complete this mission, climb the pillars for a cut scene. Then leave
the forest (use your map if you forgot) and follow the shield to reach Torn.
****************************
Destroy War Factory Defenses
****************************
After talking to Torn go around the back of Freedom HQ, wait for the doors to
open and ride the lift to find the Hellcat.
When the mission begins fly around to every group of four lights(?) and shoot a
missile at the pillar in the center. (L1) This will destroy all four instead of
you having to shoot them 1 by 1.
Thought that was it? Wrong! Now you must go and shoot the remainder using your
normal gun. If you find you having trouble shooting a target. Then just go far
away from the complex, turn around and come back in, hopefully with a clear
shot. If you see a cluster of lights or aren't confident in your aim, feel free
to shoot a missile.
Surely that must be it right? Wrong! Now you must take out the four pillars
from the first stage (red dots). As far as I could tell these things can only
be taken out with missiles. If you don't have any left don’t worry! As they will
recharge. Just fly away from the complex, away from the crossfire and wait for
more missiles to appear on the right hand side of your screen.
*******************
Explore War Factory
*******************
Now you are inside the War Factory. Ride the elevator down to the bottom and
destroy the KG bots there. Go up the ramp to your right until you come to a
big steel gate, turn right at that gate jump press (X + Square) down to the
room below. Now you will find yourself in front of a big fan. Walk over to the
pipe to the right of the fan to start the Dax game.
Now that you are in control of Dax, swing your way right to the edge of the
grate and press X to jump down, kicking the red switch and returning to Jak.
Jump up the ledge and proceed across the conveyor belt, do this quickly before
the flying KG bots respawn. Walk along the next conveyor belt and walk over to
the next pipe by the red square platform.
Now it's time for the second Dax game. Nothing much here, just wait for the red
tasers to stop before following the path and jumping down to kick the switch.
Now follow the moving platforms back to Jak.
Proceed across the platforms again and shoot the cracked window. You should now
be in front of a red laser gate. Defeat the metal heads until it dies down
(plastmite RPG all the way). Look for the breakable grate to jump down ahead.
Defeat the KB bots and jump across the platforms and up the conveyor belt.
Follow the path until you come to another pipe to your right (after the second
conveyor belt).
Another simple Dax quest. Dodge the red tasers and lava jets, when you get to
the end, kick the switch and jump down to Jak. Walk along and jump press down
the grate to find another pipe.
Things get a little bit harder here, but not much. Follow the grate path and
jump down to the switch. After the switch is released, jump of the left side of
the platform (if your facing the conveyor belts) to find Jak.
Blast the robots until you see the red car at the start of the conveyor belts.
Drive the car along the belts and use the R2 button to break through the gate
ahead. After smashing the first gate, go straight ahead and down the conveyor
belt and smash through the second and third. Keep going along the paths and
through the gates until you come to a lift. Keep going until you meet

Boss: Cyber Errol|
------------------
Obtained: Light Eco Crystal (?)
Mass Inverter
A very tough boss battle indeed. First take note to what platform Errol is
under (you can tell by the direction the bombs come from). Now stay directly
under his platform at all times (you will see why in a minute). Now, use a
combination of your Arc Wielder, Plasmite RPG, Needle Laser and Gyro Burster
to take out the KG bots, be aware of the ones coming out of the tunnel under
Errol though. After a while a little strange looking pod will come out right
under Errol. If you are standing near another platform then the pod will come
out there meaning you will have to kick it all the way over to Errol which can
take time that you don't have. Kick the pod already under Errol to deal damage.
Now Errol's bombs will have shockwaves attached, so jump over them right before
they hit the ground. Errol will now destroy some of the battle field with
his bombs, don't fall in these or its game over. After staying under Errol's
platform and after another wave of KG bots you will see three more pods come
out. Don't worry about getting all three under Errol, just the one will do.
Also take note that if you do not hit them they might shock you back.
After another attack similar to the second Errol will be reduced to 1/4 of his
max life gauge. The only difference in this wave is that Errol sends down more
pods, so attack them like crazy to prevent being shocked.
Now that Errol is almost dead he will begin getting angry. He will still shoot
down bomb shockwaves, but the KG bots have been replaced with the next
generation of metal heads. Use the Plasmite RPG and Gyro Burster excessively
here. After the bought more pods will be deployed. Attack one so its drops
under Errol to finish the fight.
