Hyperion Than Q's --------------------------------- Introduction ---------------- Is that freakin' no good #@$#&%@$&# still kicking your Einhander ass?! Is that guy too easy to beat, and you want a REAL challenge? Then you've come to the right place! This FAQ is loaded with stratagies, Funny Facts, What they do at TimeOut and secrets of the bosses. So get ready to kick some huge freaky lookin' robot in it's... Um.. where do you kick a robot??? The Greif --------------- This is the first "giant" robot you face in the game. It carries a spread cannon, a machine gun and a laser cannon. These can be easily dodged, although the laser cannon is pretty fast. Spread cannon- Turn down your speed (L2) and fly through them Vulcan cannon- Fly around fast and it will miss you. Laser cannon- Wait about 2.5 seconds when it's charging, then fly up Funny Facts ------------------ In the openning FMV, you can see that The Greif has a number 20 on it's back. In the game, there is a 03. It's guns actually run out of ammo At timeout, it flies away. If you don't do anything and dodge his bullets, when it pulls out the laser cannon, it sounds like it's saying something. (Even though it's part of the music) Secrets ---------- Blow up the bottom half of the greif to get the 3rd S. bonus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Drache --------------- The Drache is the only boss with 2 modes of attack. 1 When it is walking and 2 when it's flipped around and walking. It has Different gunpods, mines, energy ball, purple lasers giant lasers, and spread cannons. (That was a lot!) Gunpods- If it's a wasp, fly around slowly. If vulcan fly around quickly. If Juno, destroy it quickly. Mines- fly to the upper back corner Energy ball- see above Purple Lasers- Fly around fast (they're slow) Giant [butt] laser- Fly up over the body Spread cannon- Turn down speed, fly through. Or fly over the body. Secrets ----------- If you got the 3rd level bonus, you go to the Blue Drache. If you wait awhile, a Juno gunpod will come out of it's back. You know what to do. If you have a really powerful weapon like a flash or Riot, you can kill this guy before he flips over. When he is recoilling, shoot the bottom of the head (or is it the body??) Soon a flame will fly off. He will be dead by now. Funny Facts ---------------- I think the people at Squaresoft got a little distracted and wasn't thinking clearly. Just how does a ROBOT make animal noises??? (The Drache kinda growls or roars when it dies) The lights on the Drache turn red right before it dies. Time out- Walking mode- falls forward, lights turn off Assault mode- Lock down with a loud clank! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Garnele ----------- One of the fastest bosses in the game. This guy has 2 ramming moves and 2 weapon moves. These include jumping, spin around, rockets and various shots. Jumping- If you were above him before he prepares himself, he will jump vertically. If not, will jump forward. Spinning around- He will get really (the only word that best describes it is) "Itchy". Just go up. Rockets- fly around, go near the ground, and they will blow up Various Shots- Targeted shot- aims at you then fires. Just move around Random Shots- Turn down speed, fly through them, or go above the body Up to down shots- go above it's body Funny facts ---------------- Exactly how does a "car" jump??? Where are the wheels? Or does it levitate? When it is timeout it just speeds away Secrets ---------- Blow up one arm to make it malfunction. Blow up the arm thats farthest from the screen and it will malfunction closer to the screen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Spinne ---------- Possibly the biggest boss in the game, but yet it isn't very powerful. The arms can be destroyed easily even with your machine gun. The many of it's weapons include Flame-thrower, vulcan, shots, blue rings, wasp launcher, ship launcher, and special ship launcher (only on hard) Flame-thrower- when you see the flame, run!...I mean fly away! Vulcan- fly under the actual gun Shots- fly around them Blue rings- turn down speed, fly through them, or fly over/under them Wasp launcher- Fly around, then shoot them. Ship launcher- Fly under them when shot, and shoot them Special Ship Launcher- (only on hard mode) They fly back attack you. Lure them foward, fly behind them and kill! Funny facts ---------------- Spinne is the only boss with a completely different name or code. Compare PGZ/L-03 (spinne's) To SPK-04 or SPKB-03 or SS-01. You can say that spinne is thick headed. It's head armor is even stronger than hyperion's!!! (Took over 10 shots of flash on spinne and 8 on hyperion!!!) Timeout- Arms go diangonal and stops ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Gecko ---------- Looks like a spider to me. But yet spinne means spider. Gecko has only one 2 moves that does not involve lasers. They are ramming, and mines. The laser ones with 2 turrets are Blue lasers, Twin Red lasers, Purple Charging lasers, and Double Car lasers. The ones with one turret are green lasers, homing lasers, and the Giant blade. Ramming- Stay in the bottom left corner, after it runs up and down 3 or 4 times, go to the right corner. Then back. Mines- Get away from the Gecko Blue lasers- they do not aim at you, if it shoots at you, move up or down Twin Red lasers- Get away from the middle of the screen Purple Charging Lasers- They go up and down, stay back Double Car lasers- Destroy the car as fast as possible Green lasers- fly around, but don't go back to the same place Homing lasers- Fly around slowly The Giant Blade- Destroy the red car real quick Funny Facts ---------------- The Gecko has the biggest core compared to the body. It takes up the whole bottom half! Take a look at the Drache! It can hold it's core on that tiny arm. The Gecko is the one boss to use another guy to create a special attack. Timeout-stops before it flies into the vertical tunnel ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gustav ---------- This guy's my favorite boss. It proves that cool (and dangerous) things come in small packages! It has Explosive Claws, Flaming Disks (or "yo-yo's") Homing Bombs, Ramming, Blue shots, Red Shots. Explosive claws- When the claws explode, go near the bottom and dodge. Or better yet, go away from where they hit. Flaming Disks- They can oly go so far, Just get far away from them. Homing Bombs- Go behind him and the bombs will blow up it's face! Ramming- Go to the center of the room and go up. Blue Shots- these are pulled down, so just move far away Red Shots- these go straight, Turn down speed and dodge Funny facts ---------------- After the hexagon thing comes down you can see the Gustav come out of another small room. The room tills sometimes because the Gustav is so heavy The Gustav uses the small room as an advantage. Since most of the attacks have some spread fire, you don't have a lot of room to move in. Timeout- Locks down. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Salamander ---------------- The Underwater boss. Only boss that swims. The Salamander has 2 modes of fire, but does not really transform when changing from one mode to the other. In mode one, the weapons are Mines, Shooting Bombs, and Flames. In the second mode there are the Blue plasma blasts, Homing missiles, "Lightsaber" tail, Arm fling, and Grab. Mines- fly to the top Shooting Bombs- Dodge the bullets and turn down speed Flames- They go pretty slow, just get out of the way Blue plasma blast- when it's charging, fly to the top, when it fires, fly behind him and around. Homing Missile- Fly around them and fire to blow 'em up "Lightsaber" Tail- Usually follows Homing missiles. Go to the top left corner. Arm fling- wait for the 3rd swing, then get out of the way Grab- shoot the hand to keep it back. Funny Facts ---------------- To make the Salamander do a flip, follow these directions: #1 Wait for plasma blast #2 When fires, fly around it slowly Time out- Uses the pipes as monkey bars and climbs away Secrets ----------- Get a hedgehog and fire at it underwater. It will blow up the outer shell of the head. Once it comes back up it will grab on to the pipes. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Sturmvogel ---------------- The guy with the coolest sounding name. It was actually pretty cool to have armor fly in and land on the boss. Without the armor it has the Grenades, Vulcan cannon, Missiles, Shrapnel Bombs. With the armor it has..... nevermind, just look below. Grenades-Fly above the grenades Vulcan cannon- Either go between the 2 stream of shots, or away from them Missiles- these are not aimed, just destroy the ones that are coming at you. Shrapnel Bombs- OH..DEAR...GOD... You can not possibly dodge these. Theres one way though, go out, buy a PAR or GS, look for codes on the internet, type them in. Arched Lasers- go to the left, after the first set, fly forward to dodge the second set. Aimed Arched Lasers- go to the left and move forward slowly Missiles-destroy them fast. Big Missiles- see above only move around Grenades- go to the very bottom left of the screen Special Tri-polygon- (only if you have separated the armor) Go to the center of the 3 polygons. When you see the chance, fly through them. Funny Facts ---------------- Is the Vulcan Cannon friction activated?! When it touches the ground, it starts firing! To make the Sturmvogel do a flip/backflip do this #1 Wait for it's small missile attacks. #2 Fly around him. Slowly. Timeout- armor detaches boss, armor flies away Secrets ---------- (I don't know if this is possible without a PAR/GS) When the boss (with armor) turns around to fire grenades, fly to the core and blow him up backwards! ------------------------------------------------------------------ Ausf De Gestell ---------------------- This guy has the most number of attacks. They include Disk bombs, missiles, Forward swatting, arm shots, Forward slam, flipping, head shots and more! Disk bombs- when these flash red, get away! Missiles- try to lead them to the ground Forward Swatting- Fly behind him Arm shots-Turn down speed, dodge 'em Forward slam- fly back or far forward Flip- See where the shadow is, get away from the landing area Head Shots- Turn up speed, dodge Background(BG) Swatting- Go to the right, when it tries to swat you, move left, shoot the hand. BG Plasma Bombs- Fly around at medium-fast speed Spin Swat- (on hard only) Move up Funny facts ---------------- Shoot it until it falls down. If he flips to the right shoot the head with a flash or something powerful. After it throws the box, he should fall back again. It will then flip on the same spot. Weird! Timeout- you will fly up, the Mini-boss will do one final flip. Secrets ---------- Knock Ausf De Gestell down 4 times to get a flash. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ausf De Durer -------------------- My second fav! This guy also has lots of attacks. Like it's Cannon, Foot Missile, Vulcan, Rocket launcher, Bouncy Bombs, Falling Missiles, Shots, Spread Laser, and Telepathic Turrets. Cannon- It takes awhile for him to aim. When he is going to use the cannon, fly up and down. Foot missile- guide it to the ground. Vulcan- When he is going to use the Vulcan, go down. When he fires, move up at medium speed. Rocket launcher- Fly around, then guide them to the ground Bouncy Bombs- Go above, Durer when they land , move left. Falling missiles- Turn down speed to slow/medium , weave. Shots- Go to the head of the boss Spread laser- Find a spot with no line in it. go there, Fast! Telepathic Turrets- When you see blue triangles surrounding your ship, move! Funny Facts ---------------- When the boss dies, it looks like some guy falling on his skis. Timeout- He launches a green laser from his shoulder when it blows up, you see a flash. Next thing you know, the guy flies of the ramp. Secrets ----------- Get a grenade or something that fires backwards. When he turns around to fire missiles or bouncy bombs, Shoot the core. He will blow up backwards! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Stratagem Spacecraft ---------------------------- It's not really a robot with guns, but is still a good mini- boss. It has Rockets, Green Lasers, Mines, and Ships. Rockets- Fly up, shoot or dodge them Green lasers- dodge them Mines- shoot them if they come too close Ships- Shoot them down Funny Facts ---------------- There was once a Ship, He tried to destroy the Einhander. He got too close and blew up on the Stratagem Spacecraft's Rocket booster... Timeout-You will see the second ending where your ship powers down and falls to earth. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Schwarzitgiest -------------------- This guy is huge and is so @#$%&#$ hard! Just see the list below to see the weapons. Blue spread shot- fly away from them Green shot- Fly away and dodge the other bullets Giant Screen lasers- Fly to a spot with no line, or fly to the other side and the back. Homing Rockets- Fly over the boss, if they follow you, Fly around the boss Laser Disks- Shoot the center of the disks Green Homing lasers- Fly around fast! Yellow Laser disks- Shoot em Funny Facts ----------------- If you fly above the boss when it uses the homing missiles, the missiles will blow up. It looks like the Schwarzitgiest is blowing up. Um... Does anyone notice that the Schwarzitgiest looks like it can shoot a GIANT laser beam to a planet and blow it up??? Just thinking... Timeout- It gets shot down by lasers. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Some Freaky Jellyfish thing... -------------------------------------- This bonus boss is a bit hard. It's shots are unpredictable. Shots like Spread shots, Large spread shots, vulcan shots and others. Spread shots (3 shots)- try to fly away from the shots. Super Spread Shots (10+)- If it does not do anything in awhile, get away!!! Vulcan shots- move up or down. Ramming- try to predict where it will stop.
