1.INTRODUCTION
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=
Silpheed: The Lost Planet is a shooter type game for Play Station 2. You
control an attack aircraft (ironically called a Silpheed) that must attack
and destroy alien hostiles. I haven't seen this type of shooter for a long
time, since Space Mega Force for SNES actually, but it is a welcome addition
to any Playstation 2 game library. This is one challenging game at first,
but after you find good weapon combinations it isn't that bad. I hope this
guide helps you in the world of Silpheed and leads you in the path of
victory!

2.STORY
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=
More than five centuries have passed since mankind's first journey into
space. Although there has been civil war and unrest, mankind lives in
prosperity. The planet Solont, located near the edge of the galaxy is about
to be visited by an unknown life-form. 31 years after the Zakarite civil
war, Mankind is about to confront a new threat. The future of the human race
now rests in the hands of the Silpheed Squadron, made up of the most skilled
starfighter pilots in the Federation of Planetary Space Forces (FPSF). Every
pilot in this group of spaces aces flies a Silpheed Type J, which boasts a
defensive shield and two weapon racks for incomparability of flexibility and
power.

4.WEAPONS
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=
---------------------
First Stage Weapons
---------------------
Vulcan: This is one of the 3 starting weapons. It shoots a weak line of
bullets straight forward. This is your worst weapon.
Vvulcan: Another of the starting weapons. It shoots weak bullets in a "V"
form. It is quite useful even in the later stages.
OpticsLaser: The last of the 3 starting weapons. It shoots a long thin beam
which can kill several minor enemies at a time, or damage a big one. It is a
powerful weapon, and is still used at the end of the game.
----------------------
Second Stage Weapons
----------------------
Napalm Bomb: The napalm bomb is useless in the beginning but VERY useful in
the end. Your ship shoots napalm bombs in a "Y" pattern that surrounds your
ship. It is very powerful and takes out most enemies very quickly. Napalm
works well with the OpticsLaser.
7typebeam: I didn't use this weapon once in completing the game. The 7type
beam shoots bullets that resemble the Vulcan, but the 7type beam is
controlled by the movement of your ship. You move left, the beam moves left,
you move right, the beam moves right. It is powerful, but too hard to
control.
FalconWiper: In the hands on an expert this is a very useful weapon. If you
press down the beam attacks straight ahead, if you press back it moves and
attacks what is at your side (the side depends on which side the FalconWiper
is placed). It lacks range but has power.
---------------------
Third Stage Weapons
---------------------
Starbow: This weapon is basically the same as the Vulcan except much more
powerful.
Plasma Ball: The plasma ball is very powerful, but travels very slowly and
has a slow firing rate. A large ball of plasma is shot at your opponent when
fired. Not recommended.
Thunder Arrow: Press square and thunder balls appear at your side, press
square again to fire. Waiting longer to fire results in more thunder balls
appearing at your side (4 max. per side).

5.LEVEL STRATEGIES
(still much more to come!)
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=
========================================================================
LEVEL 1
========================================================================
Weapon Combination I used: Vvulcan Opticslaser
----------------
Level Strategy
----------------
This level is quite easy and straight forward. Just blast everything in
sight and take out blue bullets to make it easier for you. At the end just
before the boss, there will be some cannons on floating rocks. You can only
hit them while the rocks face is exposing them to the fire of your ship.

Mini-Boss

Boss

========================================================================
LEVEL 2
========================================================================
Weapon Combination I used: Vvulcan, OpticsLaser
----------------
Level Strategy
----------------
-------------
Mini-Bosses
-------------
FIRST MINI-BOSS: This guy kinda looks like a huge octopus. Don't worry about
him he looks easy and is easy. Get right up close to his main body, almost
touching it and keep shooting it at close-range. Watch it's tentacles, and
when you see lightning forming quickly move away from the body and dodge the
lightning shots. Lather, rinse, repeat until he dies.
SECOND MINI-BOSS: This dragon is absolutely no trouble. Your main targets
are it's head and it's tail. You DO NOT need to destroy the body in order to
kill him. The body shoots blue and yellow bullets. Destroy the blue bullets
and dodge. The head and the tail can regenerate the body if you take too
long to destroy them.
--------
Boss
--------
This boss fight shouldn't be too hard. Make sure you are not in the path of
his fire while he is appearing or you will be damaged. At first hit the
shell hard at close-range and dodge the rocks the shell knocks over. Later
he will go into the lava, and make fire appear around you. You must follow
him to avoid damage. He should go out without too much of a fight.

6.TIPS
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=
-Experiment with weapon combinations the ones I say in the walkthrough are
the ones I prefer to use, you may find something better
-Focus more on dodging bullets than hitting the enemies with your fire. The
screen is almost always full so chances are you're hitting something without
looking
-Blue bullets can be destroyed with your own bullets!
-If you don't like the weapons you started with you can change them at the
refuel.
