Tora's Cabin:
You will awake in some guy's cabin(named Tora). After the
talking, once you can control yourself, walk up(or down, I can't
remember) the stairs for more talking. Eventually, Fei will get in a
powered-up Weltall(called, originally, Weltall 2), and you'll have to
fight Ramsas.
Boss: Ramsas
Pretty easy. For the first three rounds, you have an "infinity" attack
level, so take advantage of it.
Then, there'll be some more scenes, then the Yugdrasil will
combine with the red "ship" in the middle of Kisrev to form a huge
gear, which will have to fight a giant enemy.
Boss: Hariken
Easy. You have 100,000 HP, so just do a bunch of Circle Button
attacks, and it'll go down in no time.
Then, there'll be some more, long scenes, then another boss
fight.
Boss: Sofal
The trick to this boss is not to kill all his flunkies, or else he'll start
doing attacks which drain ALL of your HPs, killing you. So, kill three
out of the four flunkies, then just hammer away at the big guy.
There will then be a cool anime scene(it's about time), then
you'll be in a dungeon.
Anima Dungeon 1:
Although you can get in your gears here, you need to be in
human form to get in the big building at the end of the bridge, plus you
need to be in human form to get some of the treasures hidden behind
walls.
In this place, you have to find a room with red sparks shooting
out of the wall. If you search that, there will be some text. Next, go to
a room close by that has two boxes in it. One of the boxes has an item
you need. Take that item back to the red sparks, and the lights will
come on. Then search the computer in that room to open up all the
"A" doors.
If you proceed on through the place, you'll be in a room where,
if you search a panel in the corner, you'll have to enter a password.
The correct password is 0, 3, 2, 0. After entering the password, search
a computer panel in this room to open up all the "B" doors.
If you go to the large circular room where the save spot is, you
can now open the two "B" doors on the left and right sides. One of
them leads back to the beginning of the dungeon, the other leads to a
control room. In there, if you search the middle panel, you will
activate the elevator(in the middle of the large circular room).
Take that elevator down, and you will reach four panels
marked A-D. What you have to do is, go to each panel, choose the
correct number, than search the little black box next to the "A" panel,
and choose the third command to input it. The correct password is
A=2, B=4, C=8, and D=5.
Now you can take the elevator down another level. Go in the
door down there and there will be a scene where Billy gets his new
gear. Then your characters will walk out of the place, but you'll be
confronted by Dominia, Tronu, Selafighter, and Kelbana, the 4
"Elements".
Boss: Elements
Since Kelbana will cure whoever is injured(including herself), it's best
to take her out first, with a charged-up 28 AP attack, to kill her in one
shot. Next you'll probably want to get rid of Selafighter, because she
will suck out your characters' EP(if she hasn't done so already). You
can also kill her in one powered-up 28 AP attack. Then I went for
Tronu, who you probably won't be able to kill with a powered-up 28
AP attack, so you might just want to normally attack her. The game
will force you to save Dominia for last, because if you attack her while
there's still someone else left, she'll automatically heal herself. And
once she is by herself, she'll get a lot harder. She'll go quicker, plus
she'll have a powerful new attack that can do to some of your weaker
guys around 250 damage. But you should win if you hang in there.
But it's not over yet. After you beat them, you'll go outside
and get in your gears to fight their gears. But this time, their gears will
combine into a huge gear.
Boss: G Elements
A somewhat difficult battle, you'll probably want to use Booster. You
have so much fuel now it won't even matter. Don't even bother using
Triangle or Circle Button attacks, as they'll be blocked for almost no
damage(it's okay to use them in a combo, though). You might want to
try using Fei's "System Id" technique, it will put Fei at infinity attack
level for 3 rounds at a cost of 1000 fuel(and if you're Id, it's okay to
do Triangle Button attacks, they won't be blocked).
After you defeat them, there'll be more long, long, scenes, then
you'll be put in a cave.
Anima Dungeon 2:
At the beginning of the cave, there'll be the usual save and
switch character spots, plus the friendly robot who you can buy new
stuff from, or get your fuel refilled. There'll also be a long jump you
can't make, and two treasures down in a pit.
Near the save spot is a rock. Push it out of the way(towards the
direction of the pit), and it will reveal a tiny doorway that you need to
get out of your gears to enter.
This is a puzzle room, if you search one of the pillars, Fei will
say something. In fact, make sure you search ALL of the pillars in
here, otherwise some of the puzzles won't work.
There's four wall scribbles in this room. They are all clues on
the puzzles here. One of them says "South 4 steps, West 10 steps".
Once you read that, just walk south 4 steps, then west 10 steps, and
you hit a wall(actually, you'll probably hit the wall before your 10
steps are up, so just walk into the wall for the last few steps). That will
cause a stone block to fall down. Push it into one of the three holes in
the ground(and remember, this puzzle won't have worked unless you
search the pillars first).
The next one is easy. Just constantly search the back of the
western pillar until another stone block falls. But don't push it into
one of the holes, at least not yet. You'll need to use that stone block,
where it is, as a stepping stone to jump atop the middle pillar. Once on
top of the middle pillar, jump straight up into the air. That will cause
the final stone block to fall. Push them into the remaining holes.
Now, outside, you can make the impossible jump, because now
there will be a middle ledge to jump onto. Jump across, and go to the
next area.
In the next area, there will be an impassable lake the middle of
the room, plus a tiny ledge on the side, that your gears can't go across.
So, get out of your gears to go across the ledge into another little room.
In here, you will shortly find a room with three pits in it(if you
look closely, you can make out where the pits are). If you fall into the
third pit(the one at the far side of the room), and hug against the
eastern wall, you fall through into a hidden passageway.
In the next room, spikes will begin to fall from the ceiling. Just
stay in the center of the room, you'll be fine. Once the platform hits
the ground, jump on the outer ledge of it, and let it carry you back up
to the top of the room, where there's a door you can go into.
In this room, there's a pit in the middle of the room, and there's
two switches right in front of the pit. The two switches either raise or
drain the water level. Now, when you enter the room, the pit is full,
and it has a volume of 10. Whenever you raise or lower the water
level, you do that in increments of 3. However there are switches on
the left and right side of the room that let you toggle the amount raised
an lowered between 3 or 7. Your goal is to make the water have a
volume of 5.
To do that, with a full tank, lower the water by 7 to get 3. Then
add by 3 to get 6, then add by 3 again to get 9. Then, lower the water
by 7 to get 2, and then add by 3 to get 5. That will cause the lake
outside to drain, and you can go on with the dungeon.
There will be another chamber with a save spot, and another
door you need to get out of your gears to enter. If you go in that door,
you'll run down a hallway, then you'll watch a scene where Rico gets
a new gear. Then your characters will start to leave the place, but
you'll get attacked by Hamar.
Boss: Hamar
Pretty easy. The one thing to remember is, once he turns red, you'll
have to run away from battle. If you don't, he'll blow up, and you'll
die.
There will be a few more scenes, then you'll be in the
Yugdrasil.
Yugdrasil:
Follow Elie downstairs, and go in the first room to talk to her.
There will be a lot more scenes, and then eventually you'll go to some
mechanical place and have to fight another boss.
Boss: Deus
You have to let this boss hurt himself, because if you attack him, he'll
cure for 16,000 HP. Every so often, he'll do a powerful attack on
everyone, including himself. So constantly charge your fuel, and cure
when needed. After he takes a bit of damage, he'll sort of kneel over.
At this time, I attacked him, and he died(but maybe I just got lucky, so
don't get mad at me if you do the same, and he doesn't die but instead
cures himself).
There will be many long scenes, eventually you'll be in another
mechanical-looking place.
Mechanical Place:
This isn't really a dungeon, but in the entrance you can still
save and change your characters, plus if you go out to the little side
door, you can find a robot who will sell you stuff, and refill your fuel
if needed.
But where you have to go is through a big door. Do so, and
you'll have to fight Ramsas one final time.
Boss: Ramsas
At the beginning of the battle, Ramsas will reduce everybody's HP to
1. You have to cure yourself, then make sure you can kill him quickly
before he does it again(because there's another battle after this one).
You definitely want to use Booster here, and use Fei's System Id. If
you just can't kill him before he does it again, then make sure you
have a weak cure equipped(such as Frame HP 30), so that you won't
waste that much fuel having to cure for a second time.
After he's dead, you'll soon fight another boss.
Boss: Opiomolpus(Myan)
Undoubtedly the hardest boss in the game so far. She only has about
25,000 HPs, but she's very, very tough(especially since you probably
took a beating in the last battle). Every time you attack her, her
defense and magic power go up(even if you miss). And every few
rounds, she'll unleash a devastating magic attack. Depending on how
much you attacked her in the previous few rounds, the spell will do
different damage. At least after she does her attack, her defense and
magic power go back to their normal levels. If you can get in 4 or 5
System Id attacks, you can win(plus maybe a combo or two from your
supporting characters). That means having at least 2000 fuel in
reserve. What it's best to do is, just use 1 System Id attack, then
charge your fuel for the next 2 turns. Remember, when you have
infinity attack level, you'll regain 300 fuel every time you charge, so
you'll have regained 600 fuel. Hopefully that will give you enough to
use Id again, and that plus a few other attacks will do her in. One
thing you'll want to watch out for, is if even one of your guys is killed
off, she'll turn vicious, attacking every round until everyone's dead.
One thing that will help win this battle is if you have equipped the Z
80/25 Armor for your gears, as that's the best one available that
defends against magic.
If you do manage to beat her, there will be some more scenes.
You will get a chance to save your game, do so, because there will be
more scenes for a while. Then, after all those scenes are over, you will
be given the chance to save your game again, plus change your
characters, signaling that it's time for another boss fight.
Boss: Id
Not that difficult, compared to the last fight. Just keep attacking him.
I used the Circle Button attacks, and he never dodged once. You may
need to cure once or twice, though.
After he's killed, there'll be more long, long, scenes(what a
surprise). After a while, Fei will get a new gear(called "Xenogears",
yes even with the "s" on the end, making it seem someone plural), and
have to fight Graaf in his gear in a one-on-one battle.
Boss: Graaf
You'll want to put on Booster, you have more than enough fuel to
make it even matter anymore. For some reason, he usually blocks
your Triangle and Circle Button attacks, making them do little or no
damage. So just use Square, it should do 2000. And, don't even
bother charging up to attack level 2, as level 1 does almost as much
damage. With this in mind, he should go down pretty quickly.
Then there will be an insane amount of scenes, with some cool
FMV.
Eventually, you'll be in a town, which is actually a crashed-
down Shebat. If you go into this place, you can find Zefar, and talk to
her for a scene. If you leave, you'll see that you'll finally be on the
world map again! But is has been changed. You can also now freely
fly around in the Yugdrasil, and if you go down to the Yugdrasil's gear
shop, you'll see that they're selling new stuff.
Optional Stuff:
The end dungeon is the dot on that island in the western middle
of the map. But before you go there, there's some optional stuff you
can do first.
Kisrev's Battling Arena:
Besides the crashed-down Shebat, Kisrev is the only city you
can go into. But there's only one part you can go into, and that's the
Battling Arena. You can go back her to fight those action battles from
earlier in the game(actually, you could do that back on Disc One as
soon as you could fly).
You can choose 2 modes. Mode 1 is where you can just mess
around, where you can practice, and or just play battles, where you can
choose any gear to fight with. You'll also have the options to make it
Player One vs. Computer, Player One vs. Player Two, or Computer vs.
Computer. You can set the difficulty and the match count.
Mode 2 is more like a tournament, and here you can win
BPs(Battle Points), and trade them in for rare items and such(like in
Final Fantasy 7).
Also, in the center of Kisrev's map, you can buy stuff from the
blue crystal.
Tora's Hut:
On the long skinny continent on the eastern side of the world
map, you can find Tora's hut in the middle of a forest(you have to get
out of your gears to enter). Inside, you can talk to Tora, and he'll give
you some items.
The Underground City:
Around the middle of the map, there's a large, empty continent.
Actually, it's not totally empty. There's a lighthouse on a peninsula
sticking out of the northwestern side. If you go in, you'll take an
elevator down to an underground city.
As you're wandering through the streets, if Fei ever says
something, that means you can get out of your gear and go inside a
nearby building. In one of the buildings you can search a computer for
a cool scene, in another you can buy some new gear stuff from BigJoe.
In one part of the city, there's a hole you can drop into in the middle of
the street, but you'll have to get out of your gears(Fei will say
something when you approach it).
If you go through there, you'll eventually be in a big area, and
you can see a scene there(you may need Emerda in your party, because
the scene involves her). After the scene, Emerda will change from a
child to a full-grown woman. As far as I know, that's all you can do in
this place.
Sandman's Desert:
East of the end dungeon, there's a small desert isle with a
desert and some ruins on it. The only place you can land is in the
grass.
Once you enter, you'll encounter some Sandmen, and they'll
tell you to leave. Answer no to fight them. Then you'll be able to
move around freely in here.
What you have to do in here, is walk away from the camera all
the way until you hit the wall. Then, move to the right, almost all the
way, but don't exit off to the right(if you do that, the screen will just
repeat itself). What you have to do is, instead of exiting to the right,
head towards the camera until you go off the screen, and then you'll be
in a desert clearing.
Once in here, if you head north, you'll get back to where you
were. If you go any other direction, though, the screen will repeat.
Honestly, I have no idea what to do at this part. If anyone knows what
to do, email me! You'll get credit in my guide. Hopefully, by the time
I update this, I'll know the solution(whether someone tells me or if I
manage to figure it out by myself).
Other Optional Stuff:
As far as I know, that's all you can do. Since Elie's
permanently gone from the party, you have an open spot for another
character, so maybe you can get someone to join? Who knows. You
can also go back into the two dungeons earlier in Disc Two, but I don't
think you can do anything there. Is there anything else??
The Final Dungeon:
When you first get in here and jump down into the maze
section, you can hit select to look at a map of the place. The lighter
blue parts mean high elevation, and the dark blue parts are low
elevation.
Your goal is to get to the upper-right hand corner of the map,
that's where the door to the next area is. You'll have to find a place
where you can either walk up a ramp up jump up ledges to get to the
higher elevation(don't worry, there's quite a few of them).
Once you go through that door, you'll have to jump down into
a pit. While falling down the pit, you'll have to dodge beams of light.
Nothing too hard, though.
You'll then be in a new section, where you can again hit select
to look at a map of the place. Again, the light blue is a higher
elevation than the dark blue. You will also notice on the map the
existence of eight doors around the perimeter of this place. They lead
to the tunnel system of this place, that also has it's own map.
Basically, you need to get to the red pod in the center of the
map. To do that, first take the tunnel system so that you'll come out at
the top middle of the map, so you can get to the pod right north of the
red dot. Unlike most of the pods here, this one isn't an elevator,
instead, jump on top of the pod, and walk into the beam of light to
rotate the direction of the red pod.
In fact, whenever you see an "outline" of a platform on a map,
with a faint circle around it, that means that you can rotate the platform
by physically pushing the bar on top to the side.
Anyway, your next step is to make your way to the pod the far
right middle of the map, there will be another switch, this one will
rotate the pod that's adjacent to the red pod, now you have created a
bridge to reach the red pod. The bridge is connected to an exit from
the tunnel system(I got there by entering the tunnel system from the
right middle, then, looking at the map of the tunnels, I exited in the
upper-right.
Once you get to the red dot on the map, you'll jump down
another one of those tunnels where you have to dodge beams of light.
Once you're through the tunnel, you'll be back at the place where you
had to fight Ramsas and Myan in their gears not long ago. Again, if
you take the passage way off to the side from this place, you can talk
to a robot, who'll let you buy new stuff, and you can also choose to
leave this dungeon.
You have to again go through the big door just like before,
except this time you'll come to a big green pit in the ground that your
characters will jump in, leading to the last boss.
The Final Confrontation:
All of your characters will be here, and there will be a huge
organic thing in the center of the room. There are also four big globes
of light circling the center. Each of these four is a boss. You don't
have to kill all of the four globes, before you go fight the main boss in
the center, but whenever you kill one of the four minibosses, the main
boss will lose an attack(some of those attacks can be very annoying).
There's also a blue change character spot in here, so you can fight the
minibosses with your weaker guys, and save your best characters for
the guy in the middle.
Boss 1: Metatron(looks like a robot)
This is without a doubt the hardest of the four, he has powerful spread
attacks as well as a special move where he gets in 5-10 attacks in one
round, which can seriously mess your party up. I generally fought this
guy last, and even brought in some of my best characters, as well.
Boss 2: Halroot(looks like a vortex)
Pretty easy. He has a few high-powered attacks, but rarely uses them.
He also has a pretty crappy evade rate(although he WILL dodge
Maria's Circle Button attack).
Boss 3: ThunderRufon(looks like a bunch of spinning red
diamonds)
Not too hard, except for the fact that after every one of your attacks, he
will counterattack(but he usually misses).
Boss 4: Marloot(looks like a flat golden phoenix on the
ground)
This guy can be hard, especially if you fight him as the third or fourth
guy. But, you'll probably want to fight him as the third guy, especially
if you're using all of your second-best characters, because after the
first they'll be pretty drained, and you won't want to use them
anymore. The reason that makes them a good choice for this boss is
because he can drain your fuel, so if you go into this battle having a lot
of fuel, you'll come out with virtually none, however if you go into
this battle with not much fuel, you won't come out much worse, either.
What I did was, I quickly got down to zero fuel. Whenever that
happened, I just charged my fuel a few times, then attacked. Oh yeah,
you can't do combos on this guy, either, and since he tends to block
Circle Button attacks(especially later on in the battle), it's best to use
Triangle Button attacks. One good thing is since you can't use
combos, your attack level will quickly rise, and unless you have
someone who has an infinity attack level, it will stay high, so you can
recharge fuel quicker.
Anyhow, once all four are dead, pray that you have your best 3
characters at either full strength(which is almost impossible, since it's
hard not to use at least one of them for at least one of the four battles),
or hopefully at least your best guy at full strength. Then, head for the
center, for the final battle(almost).
Boss: Deus
Very difficult, there's a few attacks that do a lot of damage. Plus, once
the hands fly off(which happens at the beginning of the battle if you
killed the four minibosses), every time you attack, the bosses hands
will counterattack. But hang in there, and you'll win.
But you're not done yet. After a few short scenes, Fei(in his
gear) will have to fight a one-on-one battle.
Final Boss: Erovoros
Not that hard, but don't get cocky or anything because she CAN kill
you. You're definitely going to want to put on Booster, so you can get
in attacks quicker. In fact, with Booster, you shouldn't have to cure
more than once(if at all). Her most powerful attack does 7000
damage, so make sure that your HP doesn't fall below that number.
All in all, not that hard a battle, considering that you get all your stats
refilled before the battle.
When she goes down, it's time to sit back and watch the cool
anime ending. You deserve praise if you can make it through this
game.
