---Updates---
March 9, 2002: I've just started with this guide and therefore 0.01 today. As
always, 0.01 is not a public release and will never be seen by public eyes.
March 10, 2002: 0.1 is ready for public release. About half of the bosses are
included, the rest to be added in within the week. On a side note, as of
today, I'm 15 years of age.
March 11, 2002: (0.5) I've added three more bosses, leaving only three more
remaining that need to be included. Also, updated the introduction a little,
added the system into the heading, and added a website that can host this at
the bottom.
---Introduction---
Welcome to my Eve of Extinction Boss Guide. I've decided to write this
because at this time, the game is fairly new, and as of yet, there are no
FAQs, walkthroughs, or guides on this game... and therefore, a lot of people
have had questions regarding how to do this, defeat that, etc. Also, before I
go on anymore, I want to get something out of the way.
The Eve of Extinction Boss Guide's purpose is to help people having trouble
with or just curious about the bosses within the game. This guide isn't made
just to tell how to defeat each boss, but to give a small background of each
(the database info from the game), and other miscellaneous information.
That's all it's meant to due. There is no implied meaning within, so don't
even look.

---Boss Statistics---
Dr. Wiseman
Area: Guiana Highlands
Legacy Weapon: Boomerang
Database Info:
Code name: Dr. Wiseman (Real name erased from records)
A cunning misanthrope.
The brain of our organization. He was formerly a successful biochemist, but
he was ostracized for delving too deep into research considered taboo by most
other researchers. Agla values his ability, and he agrees to join the Legacy
project as long as he could continue his own research. His knowledge on
Legacy is second only to Agla's.
How to Defeat:
Dr Wiseman himself is pretty pathetic, but the room you are in can make the
batttle fairly challenging. To start off with, the room is split in half by a
laser barrier. On one side is you and on the other, Dr. Wiseman. Also on your
side, are three or four enemies, and two roaming machines. Don't worry about
killing the enemies, as more will just replace them. Your goal is to take out
the two machines and upon doing so the laser barrier is removed. When that's
done, just rush in and slaughter poor Dr. Wiseman.
Hans
Area: Office District
Legacy Weapon: Katar
Database Info:
The only non-executive officer allowed to wield Legacy.
He specializes in lightning-fast attacks using a Katar Legacy. Through
experimentation with his genetic cells, he has developed the power to merge
his form within the dark shadows.
How to Defeat:
Once you get past the very initial step with Hans, he's a piece of cake. To
start off, you'll notice he's merged with in the shadows, and Eliel tells you
to destroy his shadow. What you need to do his is use the Rod's Legacy Drive.
This will cause the chandelier to fall, and in turn, eliminate his shadow
(or, in case you want a harder way, using the pole's high jump, you can
actually knock the chandelier yourself, but I recommend the Legacy Drive).
Now Hans is in the open, and it's just a one on one battle against him. The
only attack you might need to watch out for is one where he torpedoes himself
across the roam at you. When he does this, just sidestep him and not only
will he fly by harmlessly, but also it'll leave him open for an attack.
Magnus
Area: Guiana Highlands
Legacy Weapon: Broad Sword
Database Info:
Code name: Magnus (Real name erased from records)
A true straight-shooter.
A talented soldier with battle skills that match Z's. His hatred for
interpersonal politics has earned him many loyal followers within the
organization.
He only feels alive in the heat of battle, and he only belongs to Widom in
order to fight.
How to Defeat:
Magnus should be fought pretty much the same as you fought Z. Pay extreme
caution to his attacks due to their strength and length, and also, his
attacks are a bit faster than Z's. The main trouble with this fight is the
fact that you may only have a few of your weapons (then again, you could have
them all depending on where you go first). If you're having trouble with
Magnus, try switching to your weapon that inflicts the most damage (probably
the axe). With that, do not worry about rushing him, just pay close attention
to his attacks, and whenever he leaves himself open, run up, make your
attack, and then get away again because his attack while he stands is a good
range also.
Raven (Part I)
Area: Chinatown
Legacy Weapon: Bi Xia (Tonfa)
Database Info:
Yanjun Zong, code name Raven.
One of our high ranking officers at Wisdom Inc.
Cool-headed, but deadly.
Like Calloway, he carries a Legacy. He earned the name "Raven" for his
incredible skills in battle and he occupies a special place in the Wisdom
organization.
His Legacy, Bi Xia, takes the form of a pair of tonfas. Combined with his
battle abilities, the weapon draws out his true combat potential which
provides a great service to our company.
Having witnessed much carnage, he does not forgive rash acts of violence and
therefore has alienated himself somewhat in the company.
How to Defeat:
All in all, there's no real trick in fighting Raven. If you're having
trouble, then don't rush attacking him... wait until he attacks, and then
counterattack when he leaves himself open. Also, don't stand too close to him
when he's getting up since he does having a rising attack.
Raven (Part II)
Area: Airship: Gaap
Legacy Weapon: Bi Xia (Tonfa)
Database Info:
* refer to Raven (Part I) *
How to Defeat:
In truth, there's nothing really new in this battle. Just think of it as a
continuation from Chinatown. There's nothing new to really watch out for, so
just fight him like you did the first time and you shouldn't have a problem.
Viper
Area: Chinatown
Legacy Weapon: Snake Sword
Database Info:
Code name: Viper (Real name erased from records)
The youngest official of Wisdom Inc., he received training at an early age at
the Wisdom Training Camps.
Even as a rookie member of Wisdom, he showed enough potential to be appointed
to clean out New York Chinatown and conquer the Chinese Mafia. After
successfully accomplishing this duty, he was awarded the executive rank of
official for his talent and ambition.
Narcissistic almost to a point of obsession, he has a high opinion when it
comes to the subject of beauty, but his basis of beauty can be
incomprehensible. Moreover, trying to understand his motives proves to be
extremely difficult.
How to Defeat:
When fighting Viper there are only two things you really have to keep in
mind. First off, he likes to get on top of the six structures of the room.
From there, he can hit you, but you can't hit him without a Legacy Drive. The
thing to do here, is hit the gong on the structure on which he is standing.
This will send him soaring into the floor. The second thing is his range.
When you're fighting him on the floor, remember to watch out for the range of
his attacks. Although the sword itself may be small, he can let the blades
loose so that it reaches much further than it should. Besides this, just
fight him like you would anyone with extra caution.
Vixen
Area: Wisdom Base
Legacy Weapon: Crossbow
Database Info:
Codename: Vixen (Real name erased from records)
The only female official of Wisdom Inc.
She has an extremely destructive and unpredictable personality. Common sense
means nothing to her nihilistic nature. Rumor has it that she only belongs to
our organization to satisfy her appetite for destruction, but the truth
remains unknown.
How to Defeat:
Okay, your first fight against a boss with a ranged weapon. I personally
didn't have much problem with Vixen until getting toward the end of the
battle where I started getting careless. The only thing that makes this
battle challenging is the laser grid in the room. The room itself is split
into thirds. The two outer ones are safe, and where Vixen will always be
unless she's moving. The inner one on the other hand is split again into two
squares. Every once in awhile, lasers will pop up around the perimeter of the
squares, creating an effective barrier. Whether you're on the same side as
Vixen, across the room, or in one of the squares, the rule is simple... don't
touch the lasers. If you're not close to her, just dodge her attacks until
the barriers go down and charge. Keep in mind that Vixen is extremely weak in
close and will run, so don't worry about being too cautious. As long as you
dodge the laser grids, then you shouldn't have any trouble at all with this
battle.
Z
Area: Guiana Highlands
Legacy Weapon: Giant Axe
Database Info:
Code name: Z (Real name erased from records)
A very stoic and quiet man.
Formerly a hitman for Wisdom's rival organization under orders to assassinate
Alga. Alga repelled his attack with ease. He attempted suicide thereafter,
but Agla praised his ability highly, and he became a Wisdom official.
He has been a loyal follower of Agla ever since.
How to Defeat:
Z not only has strength on his side, but a pretty good reach too... and he
can pull off a five hit combo -_-. Luckily for you, he speed is his major
downfall. Just watching where he attacks will save you a lot of trouble,
though he does have one that can be annoying (besides the combo). This would
be his attack where he stomps and causes small boulders to rain down into a
small area around him (and they continue to rain down for awhile after he's
done). But still, if you watch for the rocks, you shouldn't get hit more than
once or twice if any at all. Finally, the best strategy for this battle would
have to be again, wait and counterattack.
Zera (Part I)
Area: Wisdom Base
Legacy Weapon: NA
Database Info:
Secretary of Wisdom CEO, Agla.
She "eliminates" all who stand in Agla's way. Her battle skills are
reportedly fearsome, though no one who has faced her has lived to tell about
it.
In reality, she is more of Agla's "right-hand woman" than just a secretary.
How to Defeat:
This isn't your usual boss fight. She won't fight aggressively for the first
portion of the fight. As you attack her, she'll run down to the back of the
train piece by piece. Once you finally reach the last section though, she
becomes aggressive. As with Raven, there's nothing really tricky about this
battle, just watch out for her attacks, counterattack when possible, and just
fight her. Once you get her to about half health (give or take), the fight
will end.
* Note: If you take her down to the health mark before the last section of
the train, nothing extra will happen. You won't be able to damage her any
further to prevent you from screwing something up, and when you reach the
last section of the train, the battle will simply end as usual. *
