01. Mini-Games

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

*NOTE: The names for each of the mini-games are the names that I have
      made up. They are not listed in the game by these names.*


=============================================================================
Blasting 'da Plesiosauruses:
=============================================================================

The  first  minigame  in  the  game, this one will test your patience,
since  the controls for the game basically suck, as it can be tough to
aim  at the dinos that are constantly attacking your ship. Fire at the
Plesiosauruses and the Pterandodons as they come at you, and beware of
the  Plesiosauruses  that  come  at  you  quickly  from the sides, and
damaging your ship easily.



=============================================================================
Tank-a-saurus Rex:
=============================================================================

This  minigame  is cool, and rather easy. You must follow the path and
reach the other end of the path without dying, all while a giant T-Rex
is  giving  chase.  You can blast it with your tank, blast away crates
that  are  in your way, and use a flash bomb to slow the T-Rex down. I
suggest  using  most  of your flash grenades as you can early, so that
you  can get a great head-start. Blast the crates that block your way,
and  position  the  tank  gun  so that it faces the T-Rex, and you can
shoot  him  while  still  driving straight. Use the rest of your flash
grenades towards the end of the path to ensure your victory.


=============================================================================
Flare-or-Die:
=============================================================================

This  one  is  simple. Your objective is to reach as far as you can in
this  area,  while staying alive. Use the Sub-Weapon control to fire a
flare  into  the air, and your partner will fire at that location. You
will be followed by some Allosaurus's, so be sure to have your partner
fire  at  them.  Also  have  your  partner fire at the large crates to
unblock  your path. You will switch partners a few times over, so just
continue  where your other partner left off once you regain control of
someone. Do this until you meet up with Dylan at the end of the area.


=============================================================================
Blast the Triceratops:
=============================================================================

This  one  is  just like the minigame on the Patrol Ship, in which you
have  to  gun  down  the  ramming Triceratops' that are coming at you.
They'll come at you from all sides, so be ready. Blast them when their
bellies are towards you for best results. After you take down a few of
the  Triceratops'  for  good,  the game will end, and you will watch a
cool ass cut-scene.


=============================================================================
Raptor Gunner:
=============================================================================

For  this  minigame,  David  will attempt to turn a large valve, while
large groups of Raptors attack from all sides. Your job is to gun them
down  with  your  turret gun. Shoot a raptor twice to launch them into
the  water,  then  move  onto  the next raptor. Do this for a bit, and
eventually David will get the valve turned all the way.

02. Bosses

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

There  aren't many bosses in Dino Crisis 2, but the ones that are here
can  be  tough, unless you know how to deal with them. Read on to find
out the easiest way(s) to defeat them.


=============================================================================

BOSS: Plesiosaurus

=============================================================================

This rather large swimming dinosaur is no match for you if you have an
AquaGrenade  launcher  with you, and at least 10-15 grenades on you as
well.  The  key  here is to find a good spot where you are able to see
from  both  sides, that way you can see which side he is coming at you
from.  He  usually  swims at you from one side, turns around, attacks,
goes  past  you, then turns around and does the same thing over. A key
time  in  his  attack  scheme is when he swims above you to get to the
other side of you. This is when his belly is revealed, allowing you to
get  at  least  2 shots in while he is basically defenseless. Use this
time  to  get  some cheap shots in. It should only take about 15 solid
shots  from  your  AquaGrenade to take him down. After he's been taken
care of, you'll get a hefty 10000 points!


=============================================================================

BOSS: Giganotosaurus

=============================================================================

Whoa  there  big  fella! Even though he may look big and bad, he's not
hard  to  beat...really.  All you have to do is switch on the gas from
the  two  green valves on each side of the catwalk, then shoot the gas
to  flame  the  Giganotosaurus.  If you're quick, you can run back and
forth without him touching you, but sometimes he'll roar and cause you
to  fall  over.  If he attacks you, just button mash to get out of his
attack,  then  run  to  a  valve. You must do each valve over and over
again,  going from one valve to another. After enough damage, he'll go
down.


=============================================================================

FINAL BOSS: GIGANOTOSAURUS

=============================================================================

For  a  final boss, this guy isn't all that hard, since you don't even
need  to  shoot  him with anything, unless he really gets on your case
and  attacks  relentlessly,  in which case you unload on him with your
rocket  launcher  until he backs off a bit. Okay, when the fight first
starts,  run left and then forward across the bridge, and run non-stop
until you reach the other side, because he'll smash the bridge, and if
you  fall,  then  it's  game  over. Once on the other side, notice the
center  control  panel  for  later,  then  run  left, and activate the
communication line to the satellite at the end of the catwalk. Now run
back and past the center computer, and follow the catwalk to the south
to  find  the  target  computer, which allows the Giganotosaurus to be
targeted  with the satellite weapon. Dash back to the center computer,
and activate it to watch his ass fry.


When you regain control of Dylan again, run back to the southeast part
of  the  room,  and exit through the large doors to watch one cool ass
ending FMV!
