Destroy Dark Ship Shield
************************

Wow, a robot, I didn't see this one coming. This thing is an Uber Tank because
it can take out a metal head in one single swing of it's huge fists. Anyway,
destroy the metal heads to open the door. In the next screen you must punch 
(square) the floating orbs in order to blow up the door. After punching the orb
and after it explodes, walk up to the door and smash it. Proceed through the
lasers, waiting for them to freeze before passing. In this room go to your 
right and punch a bomb towards the pillar to blow it up and jump down the hole
it leaves. In this screen you much punch the bombs towards to pillars to make
platforms, do this twice. Now you must pick up the cube (R1), place it near the 
ledge and jump up, punching the bombs and therefore destroying more pillars.
After you have done that jump the platforms into the next area. Here you must
quickly punch the bombs to take out the orbs surrounding the pillar. Do this 
quickly as the shockers will rip you apart.  

Once finished here follow the shield to freedom HQ.

Blow Open Tower Door
********************
Obtained: Super Nova

A lengthy and difficult mission to say the least. You must escort Torn through
wave after wave of metal heads and KG bots. Firstly, never dare to take your
finger off the R1 button. No matter how much you shoot at Torn, his health
wont ever go down, so don't be afraid you might hit him. Every now and then 
you might run into one, or a group of metal cylinders, shoot these as soon as 
you can to trigger a blast throughout the immediate area. Also, keep in mind 
that their is a checkpoint once you reach the peer, so don't feel that this
mission is totally lost. Other that that, just keep trying.

Destroy Metal Head Tower
************************
Obtain: Dark Eco Crystal

Proceed through the tunnel and fill up on light eco. You will now be in a room
with a big hole in the middle. Destroy all of the metal heads here to proceed
across the platform, upon crossing another platform will appear. Use your 
scatter gun or blaster mod here to push them off the edge. Keep following the 
path until you reach another light eco fountain. This is here for a reason. 
Charge up and use your wings to fly across to the other side of the cliff.
Go up the ramp to be confronted with a large group of metal heads, use your
Gyro Burster here. Defeat all of the metal heads and a purple bridge will
appear. Run up the bridge to be confronted with another pack of metal heads, 
deal with them like you did the group before. Jump up the platform to fight
ANOTHER group of strong metal heads. I used Dark Jak here to conserve ammo.
Once finished, cross the purple bridge and up the ramp to face the last group 
of metal heads. Try to use Dark Jak as often as possible here to conserve 
ammunition, especially Dark Blasts. Once finished, a lift will appear. 

********************************
Reach Catacombs Via Palace Ruins
********************************

After the cut scene, follow the tent to talk to Samos. Then follow the 
building (?) icon to reach the deserted part of town. See the beam coming from 
the top of the wreckage? You must find where it connects to the ground and 
grind it to gain access to the catacombs.

After the brief cut scene, shoot the metal heads (a few peacemaker shots do the
trick nicely) in front of you and take a right. Keep going until you come 
across two precursor orbs sitting on top of two pillars to your left. Jump
across the pillars (use your wings for the second one) and grab them before 
proceeding. Soon you will be in front of a giant hole in the ground, take the
steps to the right until you come to a dark eco fountain. Charge up and strike
the cracked ahead. Defeat the little metal heads and take a right, across the
rubble and grass until you reach a hole with little purple metal heads coming
out of it. Keep shooting whilst very close to the hole and it will blow up. 
Now you will be in front of two light eco fountains, charge up and use your
wings to fly across the gap to you left. Walk along the bridge until you come
to another light eco fountain. Charge up if you need it and fly across the 
second gap to your right (you can walk but its risky). Keep going until you 
reach another dark eco fountain. Charge up if needed and blast the crashed 
glass to the right. Proceed down the eerily familiar hall and quickly jump down
the fragile platforms (or you could just fly). Take a right until you see a 
beam connecting the ledge your on to another. Grind two beams (or fly if 
you feel like it). Take a left to reach another gap, fly up jump across the
platforms to get to the other side. You will now see another dark eco fountain.
Shoot the dark plant hole and blow up the cracked glass to advance. Jump down
the ledge and take a left, crossing the gap and defeating metal heads until 
you come to a long grind able beam. Grind or fly to the other side and defeat 
the metal heads there. Take a left and grind the second beam. Take a right and
jump up the platforms to find another dark eco fountain and cracked rock face.
I think you know what to do here.

Break Through Palace Ruins
***************************

After the cut scene you will be in the driving seat of Damas' car. This mission
is rather difficult so pay attention. You must keep clear of the red target 
that appear on the ground. If you don't then a huge fireball will it you and
take a good chunk of you health bar. You will come across gates that have an
electric charge. To take them down you have to destroy the lightning towers 
with the car by ramming them (sometimes their will be two to one gate).
Their will also be times when you will have to ram cement gates and towers to
create a path. R2 is the magic button there. Remember to never stay stationary,
otherwise you will be a sitting duck for bombs and metal heads alike.

Shoot your way through until you come into a vast area with electric towers on
platforms. As soon as your drive in take a left and destroy the tower there. 
Then turn left and use a boost jump to reach the platform right in front of 
where you came in. From there turn left to reach the smaller platform and
destroy the tower there. Now jump back to the previous platform and boost jump 
to the platform on your left jump back to the platform you where on and shoot
the bridge to lower it. Blow up the final tower near the gate to end the 
mission.
