------------------ Front Mission 3 Game Walkthrough ------------------- Emma's Storyline By Nathan Stout (nate555@flash.net) From: FrontMission.Org: http://www.FrontMission.org Updated: 05-05-00 (Walkthrough Complete!) Visit FrontMission.Org 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!!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Why this walkthrough when there are so many others?: This walkthrough does not bog you down with information about the enemy units that you really don't need to know. This walkthrough tells you the storyline of the game, how many of each type of enemy units there are per level and key information about difficult situations in the levels. This walkthrough also tells you when to check the Network and what to look for as you play through the game. I also have been folowing this series of games since 1997 when I originally obtained my first copy of Front Mission 1. I REALLY enjoy the whole series and I hope you do too! Please check out the website for more informaiton! http://www.FrontMission.Org ----------------------------------------------------------------------- WALKTHROUGH ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Your war machine is called a: Wanzer (pronounced Vanzer) - short for Wandrung Panzer, German meaning 'walking tank' ----------------------------------------------------------------------- One final note: Don't forget to change your defensive types (Anti-Impact, Anti- Pierce, Anit-Fire) for each mission to get the best defensive preformance out of your wanzer. Use the enemy info (at the beginning of each mission (in the walkthrough) to determine which is best. For more information on what all this stuff means and gameplay and controls please visit http://www.FrontMission.Org ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The game begins at an USN Alaska radiation laboratory base. A wanzer 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 wanzer. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- JDF Okinawa Base ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The first menu that will pop up will be a name menu. There are 3 selections. The first one is enter your first name, the second is to select your last name and the third option is to confirm your selection. To just use the default name, choose the last one (Kazuki Takemura). The scientist now has Kazuki run the tests on the SHUNYO Wanzer. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 wanzer. The wanzer does not fight back, so its quick and easy. 2.) The second half is attacking another wanzer 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. To learn more about the other Front Mission games, please visite http://www.FrontMission.Org! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Kazuki will next be talking to another pilot, Ryogo and the testing engineer in the office after the mission. They all begin discussing the JDF's forces and it's recent increase. They even discuss what happened in Front Mission 2! Next the location menu will appear where you can talk to Ryogo or the scientist Koike. Before you do anything, save your game incase you decide to play the other storyline. After talking to both of them you talk to Ryogo again. He asks you to with him to deliver some construction wanzers. This is where you choose which storyline to play. You have an option to play 2 different ones. Choose the first one and you go with him and play thestory line with Emma. Choose the second one to play the story line with Kazuki's sister Alisa. This is Emma's storyline..... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 2 Kazuki and Ryogo travel to the construction site to deliver the new wanzers. After returning to the lab, the group takes off to the heliport to go to the JDF base in Yokosuka. Once the group lands and you (Kazuki), Ryogo and the test engineer debark the helicopter a huge explosion happens! All the sudden the base's auto defense system activates and starts attacking anyone and everyone. Koike tells the helicopter pilot to take off. The helicopter doesn't get far and is shot down. Kazuki and Ryogo decide they must stop the malfunctioning defense system. Your Units : 2 Enemy Units: 4 Gun turrets Notes: 1.) Move quickly to the gun turrets and take them out. It isn't difficult. 2.) Just as you finish defending yourself, special forces wanzers show up! Koike and the guard shows up and explains that the group was asked to stop the malfunctioning guns. Network: 1.) You can access this address (MFA/GOVERNMENT/JAPAN) and get some wallpaper for the Network desktop. 2.) You get the address: (KIRISPV/CORPORATION/JAPAN). 3.) From that site you get the address for: (KIRSHIMAID/CORPORATION/JAPAN). 4.) At that site you get the address: (OKINAWAOCD/GOVERNMENT/JAPAN). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.) Now you access the first Inter Mission of the game. This a place where you can save the game and then continue on. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.) Kazuki checks his email back at Kirishima Industries and his sister (not blood related) Alisa has sent him a message. She said that she got transferred to Yokosuka base where the massive explosion/accident happened. Kazuki takes off at once to see if his sister was in the accident. The guard at the gate tells you that you can't get in. Ryogo suggests that you check out a bar where many of the Japanese Self Defense Force employees use often. Kazuki and Ryogo head out to the bar and cannot find her. They instead find Emma (Emir) Klamsky a lovely USN scientist who wants to sneak into the base to see what happened. Kazuki wants to get into the base to see if they can locate his sister so he agrees to go with her. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- back to Yokosuka base ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 3 The three manage to sneak onto the base (in their wanzers) and head down an elevator platform to one of the lower levels. They open a bay door only to see a huge hole where the base used to be! The middle of the base is completely gone! All that is left is a gaping hole deep in the earth. Emma knows that the Japan is getting ready for war and she knew this is what they are currently up to... a mega-weapon. The trio is caught off guard when alarms go off and enemy wanzers show up. Your Units : 3 Enemy Units: 2 Attackers 2 Fighters Notes: 1.) Stay together and finish off each wanzer one at a time. Network: 1.) The Patriot at the bar gives you the address: (JDFORCE/GOVERNMENT/JAPAN) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 4 Now its a race to get out of the base before getting killed.

Your Units : 3 Enemy Units: 4 Attackers 1 Fighters Notes: 1.) Stay together since Emma cannot move fast. In order to open the bay doors, you have one of your wanzers finish their turn on the square infront of the door activation panel. Watch the beginning of the level to see where it is. BUT DON'T BOTHER. Before you open the doors, finish off the wanzers that are following you. It will end the level early! 2.) If you go ahead and go through the other door on your way to the elevator platform another bay door opens and more wanzers pour out after you. This mission is over once you get all you wanzers on the platform or you destroy all the enemy wanzers. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 5 Once the group gets back outside the base their way is blocked by a literal road block. The street elevates up to block their escape. Some wanzers and gunner trucks block their way. Your Units : 3 Enemy Units: 3 Attackers 2 Trucks Notes: 1.) After several turns you get some assistance from a bomber. The road block is wiped out and after that at the end of each turn you get to command a 2x3 area bomb drop. Don't have the bombs drop on any of your group. Once all the enemy units are destroyed the mission is over and the group has escaped. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- back to Kirashima Industries 1.) Emma talks about how a developmental weapon of great destructive power was stolen from the USN by the JDF and how she was out searching for it when the accident happened. We also learn of Kazuki's hatred for his father. Emma also takes some time out to explain a few things about equipping weapons and parts in the Panzer Setup Menu. See GamePlay section (on the site) for more detail. 2.)

The JDF special forces commander is finally named... Kuroi. He is determined to eliminate everyone in the group that sneaked into the JDF base and witnessed the destruction. Your Units : 3 Enemy Units: 1 Attackers 1 Tank 2 Missilers Notes: 1.) Take the missilers out first. Then work on the other units. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 8 Traveling down the highway a bit more, the group comes across a tollbooth.

They were in unmarked wanzers. Soon the group arrives at the airport where a FAI agent (Dennis) is standing by to get you all out of there. Before you can get away, some more of those unmarked wanzers get in the way.

Kazuki is shocked to see them here in JDF territory and wonders why they want to capture them. The group finally escapes JDF territory and joins the USN 3rd fleet out at sea. While Emma was talking to the captain of the ship Kazuki learns that the mega-weapon is called MIDAS. The one that went off by accident was actually a copy of the real one which no one has been able to locate yet. The guys are shown to quarters and Emma tells Kazuki that MIDAS is actually a research project, not a weapon. It creates energy, but it is also very destructive and thats why everyone is interested in obtaining it. The private FAI squad purple haze discovered that the OCU took possession of the original MIDAS and flew it to one of their bases somewhere. After traveling to Australia to try to locate MIDAS, the group encounters enemy forces again. This is the first level where you select who goes onto the battlefield. All your units (at this time) can go. The FAI agent Dennis now joins you group. Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 4 Attackers 1 Armored vehicle Notes: 1.)

Serov, the scientist would not say what weapon was on the transport but everyone thinks it was MIDAS. The group leaves the scientists and takes off on a USN sub to the place where the transport crashed in Sumatra. The group walks in on a battle at the crash site.

Now you can get the ability to have the wanzer "slide" further distances than it can normally walk. Later on we see a dream that Emma has about her past.

After the battle Yun lets Woo have it! Woo runs away screaming revenge. Kazuki confronts Yun about what she did. Yun leaves the group. The group heads back the rebel base. When Kazuki goes to his room, Yun is there. After an argument she leaves. Ryogo follows her to the downtown area. She comes to her senses and get back in with the group. The team leaves the base for awhile and heads to the shop where they meet Zhuwen another rebel. They all head back to the base. The team is asked to escort Zhuwen to Guilin. A small village nearby (Longsheng) is under attack from enemy forces, the team heads out to help. It appears that an RRF solider is protecting the village from a whole squad of some unknown wanzers. Jose (if you got him, if not someone else) runs off to assist the RRF solider and Kazuki decides to help out the RRF solider.

If Jose is not in your team Li joins your group. We now see Alisa again after a long time. Lukav has her and is awaiting Emma's arrival. Lukav reveals that Emma is Alisa's sister. As the team is heading away from the village they run into a battle with Serov. If you remember Serov was one of the OCU scientist that the group picked up back in Australia. The Changli soldiers with him are afraid of him and his physco ways. He reveals that he left the OCU and joined the DHZ. He wants a fight and the team gives him one. Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 4 Attackers 1 Missiler Notes: 1.) The missiler (Serov) is kinda wacko. After you knock down his HP a bit he starts going mad and attacking no one in particular on his turns. Some of his forces back off and will stay away until you destroy him. I suggest going for him first. He also has a ton of HP. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 34 "B" (if you played mission 32 "A") If Jose is in your group you just leave the village. If Jose is not in your team Li joins your group. We now see Alisa again after a long time. Lukav has her and is awaiting Emma's arrival. Lukav reveals that Emma is Alisa's sister. As the team is heading away from the village they run into a battle with the Genie Arm. Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 4 Attackers 1 Missiler Notes: 1.) The Genie Arm goes malfunctions. After you knock down it's HP a bit it starts going mad and attacking no one in particular on it's turns. Some of his forces back off and will stay away until you destroy it. I suggest going for it first. The Genie Arm also has a ton of HP. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 35 Before Serov dies his tries to say something. He says he and Emma are alike, but Emma can't get him to explain more before his wanzer blows up. The team heads back to the Guangzhou rebel base. Dennis tells Kazuki that an old friend of his Wei Ching Yee wants to meet with him. It seems that Wei has many enemies as well. Dennis saves his former best friend from some enemy agent. Wei thanks him and lets him in on his news. Wei reveals that the Ravnui National Labratory (at them mention of this lab, Emma goes pale) there is a lab called Orsha that is conducting unethical genetic research. The head of the genetic projects was made ambassador to the DHZ. Wei thinks that's suspicious. At the mention of the project leader Ban, Emma goes pale again, but she just says its nothing. The group is told that a researcher has escaped from the National Labratory and taken to the rebel's base in Xiamen and has some research info with him. The team wants to go talk to him. Before they leave Emma tells Kazuki that her parents worked at Orsha Labratory and that they worked under Bal. Bal was the man that killed her parents. When they get to Xiamen they meet the defector Ivan. Once again Emma is startled, but keeps quiet. Ivan reveals that he was tired of being a guiena pig. He was working with the Imaginary Number Project, the engineering of a perfect human being. Once Bal had come to the DHZ as an ambassador, he set up a new lab and began working on this new project. This new type of engineered human is designed to be efficient in mind and body. One of the drawbacks is that they live a short life. Serov was one of the Imaginary Number Project's experiments. Ivan is also one of the failed Imaginary Numbers. Lukav is also one too! Suddenly the base comes under attack by Imaginary Numbers out to destroy the failed Imaginary Number, Ivan. and the team has to go out and defend it. Ivan goes into battle, but soon his short life comes to an end as he goes insane just as Serov did. He jumps in the way of an attack on Emma and saves her life by sacrificing his.

Huang doesn't like the idea. Later Kazuki goes out looking for Emma who has been shaken by the events in the last mission. She says she feels something familiar when she was around the Imaginary Numbers like Serov, Lukav, and Ivan. Kazuki gets her to come back to the base so they can get ready to get going. Kazuki thinks that if they lure out the Rapid Reaction Force they have a much better chance in making it to Shanghai. After they leave they soon lure out some troops, but they are not the RRF. The are part of the Wulong Mercenaries. They are there to collect on the bounty on the team. Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 4 Attackers 1 Missiler Notes: 1.)

She found Kwang in the wreckage of a plane that was shot down by the RRF several years back. It appears that the current chairman of the DHZ (chairman Jie Bo Liao) had the RRF shoot down the plane (that was carrying former chairman Ming and his family so he could become chairman. Dennis speculates that Kwang might be Ming's son and they could use that to overthrow the current evil chairman (Jie). Later Lixian confirms that Kwang is Kwang Ming, son of murdered chairman Ming's son. Kwang is told who he is and decides to pick up where his father left off. He leaves with the team back the rebel HQ. Jose/Li (which ever one is in your group) goes to see an old friend who is a USN spy when things go wrong thanks to a DHZ agent.

Later Yun figures out what's on the chip. It contains detailed information on the DHZ mobile fortress, TIANLEI. If they can use the info to destroy it, they will be able to get to Shanghai. To get more info before attacking the base, the group goes after the engineers who built it. Suddenly there is a message for Dennis that says that there has been a military coup in Japan! The group put that bit of news to the side and concentrates on getting to one of the only engineers still alive. They find him (Zhun Xi Liang) in a bar in Guiyang drunk off his rear. he decides to help out and they all leave to get the password to get blueprint info from his former finace, Mei Lin. The group is stopped along the way. The Wulong Mercenaries are harassing a guy named Linny Barilar, an aspiring business man who thinks that his methane wanzer will make him rich.

Be warned, group (A) fights in only one mission, while group (B) does the other 3. The mission is to stop and destroy the Da Han Zhong mobile fortress. The rebel forces cripple the base with some explosions while your groups go in for the attack. The only way to destroy it is to go for the power plant deep in the base.

Kazuki and Emma find Alisa but they also run into Lukav and Bal! Now we see what happened to Emma's family and we finally understand why she has devoted her life to the USN. But wait!!! Emma reveals that the reason that her parents were killed by Bal's men was because they had stolen something from Bal........ they stole Emma and Alisa from the labratory!!!!!!!!!!!! Bal tells them that he created Lukav, Alisa, and Emma. They are all Imagniary Numbers! Bal said that he knew that the USN had rescued Emma so they could use her to make MIDAS. Now with both girls Bal is confident that they can build another MIDAS. All the sudden Lukav reveals that he was just using Bal and now he no longer needed! Lukav intends to rule the world! Lukav grabs Emma along with Alisa and takes off. Bal takes off to try to stop them as well! Ryogo saves Kazuki in the nick of time and then the group takes off and tries to go after Lukav. Wow, what a twist! Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 3 Fighters 2 Attackers (w/o wanzers) 4 Attackers Notes: 1.) Stay behind the archways to keep the enemy's damage to your group low. 2.) Liu shows up as you reach the end of the embassy. Network: 1.) You get the address for the Embassy: (EMBASSY/GOVERNMENT/DAHANZHONG). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 54 Yun starts attempting to locate Lukav. She finds out that Bal is heading to an old missile silo with a platoon of wanzers. He must be going after Lukav to the get Emma and Alisa back. Dennis is shocked by something that the USN tells him, but we don't know what it is yet. We also see Lukav as he attempts to persuade Emma and Alisa to join him in ruling the world. Lukav is also dealing secretly with the JDF! Bal shows up and then Lukav sends in troops and also Chairman Jie is there in an alliance with Lukav! Bal and his bodyguard Liu Hai-feng are destroyed by Lukav's forces. Kazuki and the other head into battle so that can get in the base to save the girls. Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 2 Fighters 4 Tanks 2 Attackers Notes: 1.) The enemy wanzers from this point on in the game become harder and harder to hit. You will need to gang up on each unit to attack effectively. Go for the fighters first. Network: 1.) While at Guan Lei's house you can send an email to: (LUO@0899) and (RANFON@0899) 2.) Emma has new mail. 3.) Kazuki get the password for the Ravnui site. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 55 Aganinst Dennis' instincts, Kazuki heads off into Yancheng base. Marcus talks some sense into Dennis and they all go in the base together. Lukav talks to Alisa and Emma again and now we see that the young Kazuki is considered a major threat by Lukav and Lukav decides its time to do away with the boy. As the group gets to the center of the base Lukav is waiting and even shows the two girls waiting to be rescued. Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 3 Fighters 3 Attackers Notes: 1.) Lukav is located in a hard to get to space. The floor around him is rotted away and you can't surround him. You will just have to do your best. Try destroying the crates nearby to get in closer to him. 2.) Take your time and gang up, these wanzers are tough! 3.) After you defeat Lukav Bal's bodyguard Liu Hai-feng blast into the base. he didn't die after all. Liu knocks Lukav off into one of the pits surrounding him. he then goes after the girls, wanting to destroy all the Imaginary Numbers to honor Bal. the battle resumes and you have to destroy Liu. 4.) After you defeat Liu he urges Kazuki to destroy Emma and Alisa because Lukav's plans involve them and if they are destroyed his plans of domination will fail. After his wanzer blows up the battle (if there any wanzers left) continues. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 56 You finally get Emma and Alisa back saftely and the group heads off to attempt to get back to Japan. While the group is out we see what Dennis was ordered to do by the USN. He has orders to kills Emma. After much soul searching he decides to disobey orders, knowing that he will be in big trouble with the USN. He confides in Marcus and the rest of the group his decision to disobey orders. Emma also reveals that their father, Isao Takemura might have something to do with Lukav and the coup. The group goes to an old shipyard to procure a ship to get back to Japan. After meeting an aging Da Han Zhong solider that believes that he owns the shipyard the USN special forces shows up to "punish" the traitors for disobeying orders and to carry out the original orders to kill Emma. Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 4 Fighters 4 Attackers Notes: 1.) The special forces are good and you will need to be extra careful when battling them. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 57 The old man Yang tells the group that he rebuilds the ships that the military throws away and he agrees to give the group a ship to use. Have the group talk to Yang before they set out then go to the hangar and buy some equipment for cheap! The group gets the ship loaded and they set out for sea. Before they make it to Japan some patrol/attack boats show up to destroy the ship. Kazuki thinks that his father Isao Takemura set them up. Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 4 Helicopters 5 Missilers (Boats) Notes: 1.) Take long range attacking units on this mission! 2.) Make sure you have some repairs and some missile reloads too! 3.) The level might end early (as it did when I played). Network: 1.) Kazuki has new mail. 2.) Yun has new mail. Use the Kaleidoscope program from (NETCOMSYS/CORPORATION/JAPAN) on the picture that's with the mail to get Woo's email address. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 58 A battleship starts shooting at the team and force them to surrender. After that the group is "escorted" to the Sasebo base. Kazuki's father is there! Kazuki starts in on his father about the coup he started. Isao denies he started the coup but everyone else seems to have their minds already made up. He also tells the group that Lukav is not dead and in fact is in Japan. Isao tells them that the man named Sasaki planned the coup and the MIDAS project. Isao was caught spying on Sasaki and was made the scapegoat in the whole matter. Sasaki plans on mass producing MIDAS bombs with Lukav. He also reveals that Lukav can make the MIDAS bombs without the help of Emma or Alisa since he is an Imaginary Number himself. Isao tells the two girls that he did know that they were Imaginary Numbers from the beginning, but he did not use them, he loved too much for that. Isao tells Kazuki that he will deal with Lukav and MIDAS and that he should stay out of the matter now. Isao is arrested by Sasaki's puppets in the JDF. It seems that Sasaski's men are not finished looking for Kazuki and his friends. The JDF special forces find the group and attack. Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 3 Fighters 5 Attackers Notes: 1.) Bring your group together and go after each group of two, one at a time. Network: 1.) Kazuki has new mail. 2.) Emma has new mail. 3.) Jose has new mail. 4.) Marcus has new mail. Reply to that mail.

Take the number to (AUSPEND/OTHER/AUSTRALIA) and use the Inferno Dial located in the Garbage Pit and dial the number. The parts of the new wanzer will be placed in your inventory so you will have to put it together yourself. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 59 The group feels the need to join the 8th division. They head out to join them. Next we see Isao talking with Kawada when Sasaki shows up. He has gotten the Japanese government to back the use of the MIDAS project and tells Kawada to leave Takemura's children alone since he feels that they are no threat anymore. He also believes that once they have a MIDAS bomb finished they will no longer need Lukav's assistance. Sasaki gives the order to destroy the 8th division. Soon the 8th division (with the team now as members) comes under attack by the JDF's 4th division. Kazuki gets the 8th division commander Takiguchi to retreat while the team holds the attackers off. He agrees and the team goes against the 4th division. Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 3 Missilers 3 Attackers Notes: 1.) Take you best units into this tough battle. 2.) Destroy the missilers first. 3.) Use the mountain that you start out on as a nice place for defense for a couple of turns. Network: 1.) Linny has mail. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 60 Sasaki issues orders to continue pursuing the 8th division and to plan a surprise attack to destroy the force. Upon seeing what is happening the group decides to block the attacking force at Nagahama where they suspect that a surprise attack will be mounted. The enemy wanzers debark at the harbor but their surprise raid is caught by surprise by the team. Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 2 Fighters 2 Missilers 3 Attackers Notes: 1.) These are some heavy duty wanzers and they are pretty close together so take plenty of repairs and try to keep your units close to each other. Network: 1.) Kazuki has new mail. 2.) Dennis has new mail. Send a message to JPOLICE@0710. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 61 The team comes up with the plan to try a pincer attack by attacking at Mt. Aso and Omuta. Alisa is a real tactics genius! The group has to split up again. Group A has Kazuki already in it and team B has Ryogo and Yun already in it so balance the rest of your forces. Group B will attack at Mt. Aso first and group A will go on and attack at Omuta. Your Units : 4 (group B) Enemy Units: 4 Tanks 3 Attackers (trucks) 1 Semi Notes: 1.) There are lots of tanks so go in quick and take them out fast. Network: 1.) Talk to Former Solider and he gives the password: SINTJ. 2.) Talk to Takiguchi and he gives you a new simulator mission. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 62 Kazuki's team has to face off with the forces in the city of Omuta. It turns out to be Kuroi and his special forces. Before the battle Kuroi and Kazuki get into a argument about MIDAS and Kuroi's vision of a more powerful Japan. Your Units : 4 (group A) Enemy Units: 3 Helicopters 3 Attackers 2 Attackers (trucks) Notes: 1.) Make sure you quickly go after the helicopters. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 63 All the sudden the base at Sasebo surrenders. Although everyone thinks it could be a trap they go to investigate it. It turns out that Lukav is sending in the DHZ fleet to attack Japan so as to get the MIDAS. Kawada and Sasaki saw that they were being used by Lukav and now need the assistance of the 8th division and Kazuki's team. Lukav is headed to Okinawa City where MIDAS is located. Isao tells Kazuki that his group is going after Lukav. The group heads out and sneaks into the harbor to get an LST to go to Okinawa City. At the harbor where they land some wanzers come up out of the water to attack. Even some wanzer/subs! Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 2 Missilers 2 Attackers 2 Fighters Notes: 1.) Stay away from the fighters as much as possible. 2.) Attack Rosavia with missiles from a distance. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 64 Lukav and his DHZ forces have taken control of Okinawa Ocean City and is starting to move into the mainland. The only way to get into the city is way of a bridge leading into the city/island. The stage is set for the final assault on the MIDAS labratory base. The end is in sight! Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 2 Tanks 4 Attackers Notes: 1.) Be careful of the attackers with cannons, stay way back and let them come to you. This will give you time to do some damage to the other units. Once they get close enough to attack you. Take all of your units and gang up on them fast! Network: 1.) Ryogo has new mail. 2.) Linny has new mail. 3.) Talk to JDF solider, then to Koike in the Hangar and he gives you the password: EHOBA. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 65 After arriving in the residential area of Okinawa Ocean City the group runs in to Lukav in a huge wanzer! He is blocking the entrance to the base where the MIDAS is. Jared and Rosavia are in huge wanzers as well. Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 2 Missilers 3 Attackers Notes: 1.) After the first turn Lukav and his bad wanzer heads into the base! Whew! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 66 The group heads down into the base. Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 3 Fighters 3 Attackers 3 Moving Rail Guns ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 67 The group gets to the core and the power unit that holds the MIDAS bomb. Alisa is sent in to dismantle the MIDAS but she can't! It has been merged with the power unit. the only way they can get it apart is to disconnect the different power units of the City/Island. That would require actually dismantling the city! The team splits up one last time, one group to evacuate the citizens and the other to start the dismantling sequence. Emma and Kazuki are on one team (A) while Ryogo is on the other (B). The group needs to get through a large room where the pistons of a huge engine go up and down to get to the control room. Jared has an ambush set up to stop the team! Your Units : 4 (group A) Enemy Units: 2 Missilers 3 Attackers 3 Fighters Notes: 1.) This was (to me) the most difficult level of the game simply because of the time it takes. If you want to skip the rising/lowering piston animation, press the start button. 2.) The pistons change position every turn and this makes it impossible for some wanzers to move much. Take only 2 legged wanzers 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 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. 4.) The 4 legged wanzer (Jared) can be beaten easily from a distance. He will not move off the piston closest to him. So all you have to do is keep attacking him with a long range rifle from as far away as you can. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 68 Emma, Kazuki, and Iaso make it to the control room. First they have to try to abort the separation sequence started by Lukav. The abort program isn't working! The process starts! This is some cool animation! Okinawa Ocean City starts to separate from the mainland and starts out to sea! Emma orders Ryogo to use the DHZ's landing crafts to evacuate the citizens off the island. Kazuki and Emma go help while Alisa and Isao stay in the control room. At the wharf the Changli soldiers are getting nervous at what's going on. Your Units : 4 (group B) Enemy Units: 2 Tanks 2 Attackers 3 Missilers ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 69 The citizens are carried away to safetly leaving the city to the final battle! Isao and Alisa are in the control room and Alias says that she intends to take the MIDAS far out to sea and to detonate it herself. Isao says that he will sacrifice himself and pleads that Alisa listen to him. She sadly agrees. Suddenly Lukav shows up! Alisa is captured again and you must go for it all in this final fight in the core of the base. There is no time since the island begins its collapse into the ocean! Ryogo has a plan and the group blasts through the wall with the LST and decide to end it once and for all! Lukav has the upper hand but suddenly a wanzer blasts in from behind and knock over Lukav's wanzer! Its Isao! Lukav uses his deadly beam cannon and blasts Isao's wanzer, killing him. This is the last straw! No Mercy...... Isao's sacrifice gives the team just enough time for Alisa to get away and for the group to go in and save the world!!!!!!! Lukav's wanzer has some sort of laser weapon that does major damage so you will have to keep clear of him until you can attack with confidence. Your Units : 4 (group A) Enemy Units: 4 Missilers 1 Boss Notes: 1.) First off gang up and attack and attempt to destroy (or incapacitate) at least two of the missilers. Then you can split up and take on the others and finally Lukav. 2.) I found that the missilers kept attack Kazuki and would not stop. This is good since it kept the heat off the others as they did their thing. I kept Kazuki at the back (but still in missile range) and just kept repairing parts that got damaged. This kept him around long enough to keep the missilers busy. 3.) 2 others started up the side ramps (each one on a different side) toward the Lukav while the last guy (Ryogo in my case) went straight ahead and stayed right infront of and below the platform where the Lukav was. 4.) Lukav was so occupied with destroying Ryogo that I was able to bring the 2 wanzers that went up the side ramps to get right up on the boss and attack with out much trouble. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 70 Alisa tricks the team and she stays to set off the MIDAS bomb. She knows that if its not destroyed, others will find it and use it for their own evil purposes. The team sets off the MIDAS bomb safetly and saves the day! The JDF denied claims of a mega weapon and all evidence of MIDAS was lost in the Okinawa Ocean City disaster although the DHZ tried to spread the information. The USN and Japan plan to work together to fight the DHZ. The president of the USN holds a press conference to denounce the DHZ and the OCU in an attempt to cover up the fact that they developed the MIDAS by discrediting the other nations. The team lands at the embassy during the press conference to deal out some final justice and to tell the REAL truth! Your Units : 4 Enemy Units: 4 (Police) Attackers Notes: 1.) The enemy doesn't have high HP bodies, but their weapons do some big damage. 2.) The secret of MIDAS is revealed! What an ending! What a news conference!!!!!!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The End What a ride it was! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- My Scoring: (11/25/99) Platinum x 9 Gold x 12 Silver x 24 Bronze x 25 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check www.FrontMission.Org for updates! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have any comments, suggestions, or corrections mail them to: Check the website for a complete list of skills and much more!
