Front Mission 3 Game Walkthrough Alisa's Storyline By Nathan Stout nate555@flash.net From: FrontMission.Org: http://www.frontmission.org Finished! updated: 12-26-99 Visit us for: Walkthroughs of all Front Mission Games, Gameplay Information, Technical Data, Pictures, character descriptions, cheat codes, and more!!!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- WE COVER FRONT MISSION GAMES AND FRONT MISSION GAMES ONLY!!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- WALKTHROUGH --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The game begins at an USN Alaska radiation laboratory base. A panzer and a freight hauler blast their way out of the base with a large container. The USN base forces spring into action, but a quickly cut down by bomber. A carrier arrives and picks up the container and takes off. This FMV is the coolest Front Mission FMV I have ever seen! The game starts at Kirishima Heavy Industries testing facility where Kazuki Takemura is testing a panzer. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The first menu that will pop up will be a name menu(?). There are 5 selections. They are all different types of Japanese writing (Kanji, etc..). Choose the last one to just enter the game with the default name (Kazuki). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 1 Your Units : 1 Enemy Units: 2 Attackers Notes: 1.) This mission is just a tutorial mission split up into 2 sections. The first is part is attacking a single panzer. The panzer does not fight back, so its quick and easy. 2.) The second half is attacking another panzer that fights back. It is pretty easy as well. It all just gets you familiar with the weapon systems which are almost exactly like previous Front Mission games. You will next be talking to another pilot, Ryogo and the testing engineer in the office after the mission when 2 options will appear. Here you choose which storyline to play. You have an option to play 2 different ones. Choose the first one and you will play the story line with Ema. Choose the second one to play the story line with Kazuki's sister Alisa. Once you have chosen it is easy to tell which one you picked. If Ryogo looks amused, you picked Ema's. If he looks mad, you picked Alisa's storyline. This is Alisa's Storyline...... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 2 The group travels to Japan to deliver the new panzers to Japanese Self Defense Force in Yokosuka. As the panzers are debarking a huge explosion rock the place. Kazuki and Ryogo set off to investigate but are quickly brought to a stop when 2 enemy panzers block their way. The enemy units are ordered to attack! Your Units : 2 Enemy Units: 2 Attackers Notes: 1.) Gang up and attack one of these units at a time. It will be quicker and easier to destroy them. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 3 After Ryogo and Kazuki are released after questioning they leave the building to see a convoy of trucks moving some strange items. Kazuki is suspicious so he gets in a truck and he and Ryogo follow the convoy. Kazuki spots his sister Alisa. Just as the two had met some USN panzers emerge and attempt to take Alisa hostage. Ryogo and Kazuki get in their panzes to gstop them. Your Units : 2 Enemy Units: 2 Attackers 2 Fighters Notes: 1.) This level ends early when sirens go off and the USN group splits as panzers show up. They new panzers think your group is part of the enemy and start to attack you, but at the last moment a semi pulls up and you escape in the nick of time! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 4 After rescuing the group the man get them to a waiting ship but enemy troops show up to stop them. Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 2 Attackers 2 Fighters 1 Helicopter Notes: 1.) Be sure to use your repairs when necessary. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 5 Now the group escapes and makes it to a base. When they arrive they see the total desctuction located underground in the base. The center of the base is gone! Something blew it up in the perfect shape of a sphere. That is what the group heard when they got off the helicopter in Mission 2. The man reveals that it was caused by the MIDAS project. Before this mission you can now access the network. Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 2 Attackers 3 Helicopters Notes: 1.) Go for the helicopters right away and finish them off before you start on the other panzers. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 6 More enemy units show up to stop the group. Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 3 Attackers 2 Trucks 1 Missiler Notes: 1.) This mission ends a little early when the tanks all around start getting bombed. Your escape ships show up and you take off. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 7 The group land gets back on land and gets into a JDF base and gets into its computer.

Some enemy units show up and destroy the ship and attack the group. Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 1 Truck 3 Helicopters 2 Missilers Notes: 1.) This is the first level where you can choose who goes out onto the field. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 11 Here we see Alisa having a restless night and we see a dream or prehaps a past she remembers. Before this mission you are taught how to equip parts and upgrades. You can now go and buy upgrades. I suggest equiping shields on everyone. They sure are handy!

After this mission empty out (sell, or disassemble) all your captured panzers. You will need the extra space for all the panzers you will capture inthe next mission!!!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 16 The group is taken by submarine to an enemy floating base. They are launched by torpedo and crash through the wall of the base and attack some ill prepared panzer pilots! Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 6 Attackers (w/o Panzers) 6 Empty Panzers Notes: 1.) They pilots haven't reached their panzers so this is you chance to make this level REAL easy and make some big money! 2.) Move your panzers foward and start taking out the enemy before they get to their panzers. You get to keep any panzers that pilots were not able to reach! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 17 The woman in the pink panzer has joined the group.

You can either shoot 2 different types of cannons or use the missile launcher! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 29 The group exits the tunnel and winds up right in the middle of a battle! Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 3 Attackers 2 Fighters 1 Helicopters --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 30 The group makes an assult on a village. This doesn't seem right..... Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 1 Attacker 5 Trucks 2 Fighters Notes: 1.)

Before the train falls through the gaping hole in the bridge they manage to jump out! The enemy advances and a battle ensues. Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 3 Attackers 1 Fighter 1 Helicopter Notes: 1.) Right away have one of your people exit their Panzer and get into the train!

Your Units : 5 (1 NPC) Enemy Units: 3 Attackers 2 Missilers Notes: 1.) You cannot loose the NPC in this mission. This is a tough one so you will have to use your best people. 2.) I suggest saving this "in battle" right when the level starts incase you loose. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 42 Your Units : 7 (3 NPCs) Enemy Units: 3 Attackers 1 Fighter 1 Helicopter Notes: 1.) Have one of your guys go for the boats (along with an NPC) and have the rest go for a foward attack. Be sure to gang up on the enemy. 2.) Take out the missiler as soon as you can. 3.) I suggest taking you best people into battle here. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 43 Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 4 Attackers 2 Missilers Notes: 1.) This is a tough mission as well. Take you best people. Go for the big Panzers fast. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 44 This mission finds the group making their way through an underground passage. Ryogo is on foot and he needs to activate the elevator platform in order to get the rest of the group up a steep wall. Your Units : 4 (1 on foot) Enemy Units: 3 Attackers 2 Attackers (w/o Panzes) 1 Fighter 2 Missilers Notes: 1.) First off, you cannot loose Ryogo in this battle. 2.) Have him move and end his turn standing next to the big gray platform/box/computer. He has to be inbetween the box and the wall. At the end of his turn he can activate the elevator. The bottom selection is the "activate elevator" action. 3.) Don't have him attack (or counter attack) the attackers that are on foot near the box. This will increase his chances of surviving. 4.) Once the others are on the same level as Ryogo, have one of your team go help him and keep him alive. Move Ryogo back out of the way and leave him there for the rest of the battle. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 45 Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 6 Attackers 1 Missiler Notes: 1.)

When you reach the top of the platforms you must use the platform elevator in order to go higher. Have one of your people exit their Panzer and stand on the little gray area on the platform elevator. The bottom choice is to active the elevator. I suggest taking care of all the other units before you move up. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 50 Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 2 Tanks 3 Trucks 1 Missiler 2 Helicopters --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 51 Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 1 Fighter 2 Attackers 1 Truck 1 Missiler 1 Helicopter Notes: 1.) In this mission you start out on foot and need to get in the enemy units that are standing on the field. 2.) Wait until all the characters can get into their machines all at the same time. Then go for it! This is a tough level. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 52 Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 1 Fighter 5 Attacker 2 Missilers --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 53 Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 2 Missilers 3 Attackers 1 Boss --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 54 Look at that HUGE Panzer! Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 3 Fighters 2 Missilers 3 Attackers 1 Boss Notes: 1.) Once you defeat the boss the level will be over. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 55 Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 2 Fighters 2 Missilers 2 Attackers --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 56 The goup heads down into the base where the MIDAS bomb is. Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 8 Attackers Notes: 1.) 2 of the attackers have cannons so be careful and don't bunch up. 2.) Once you defeat the boss, she escapes and bombs the place! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 57 The group starts their escape from the base. The enemy stops their egress. Your Units : 5 (1 Truck NPC) Enemy Units: 5 Attackers 1 Missiler --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 58 The island is not what it seems! The group continues the into the base. Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 2 Helicopters 3 Missilers Notes: 1.) This was (to me) the most difficult level of the game simply because of the time it takes. 2.) The pistons change position every turn and this makes it impossible for some panzers to move much. Take only 2 legged panzers on this mission. 3.) I suggest also saving the level (in the "in game' save slot) right after you start this level. I had to restart this level more than 4 times and and I could have saved a lot of time if I had saved at the very beginning of the level instead of having to go through all the dialogue before the mission. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 59 The group reaches the core of the base and the MIDAS bomb is gone! Alisa sees her sister Ema sitting down near the core. Something has happened to her. Ema is devoid of emoition, she has been tortured by the enemy. They have gotten the secret of the MIDAS bomb out of her and all is left is an empty shell. This is sooooo sad! Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 7 Attackers --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 60 The MIDAS bomb has been activated! The group tries to get over Ema's horrible condition while they attempt to find a way off the island. Alisa spots a ship and they all set out to get in it and get out of there before the bomb explodes. Before they can escape the ship gets stuck and enemy units show up. Localf is there with his nasty looking Panzer for this final battle! Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 3 Fighters 3 Attackers 1 Missile (Localf) Notes: 1.) Move you units back. You start out too close to all the enemy units. Back off to the othe side of the ship. It will make taking out the enemy a little easier. Good luck! 2.) Ut oh, it looks like Localf is not quite finished... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The group escapes the island and head pell mell out to sea to try to avoid the explosion. But all the sudden the wounded Localf shows up and starts to take his rage out on the ship! kazuki comes up on desk to try to finish him off but is cought in Localf's fury! Kazuki's last attempt to stop Localf works just as the MIDAS explosion takes place!!!!! What happens????!!!
