******** I: Introduction *****
****************************
                        *

    Xenosaga Episode I - Der Wille zur Macht is definately one of the
 best RPGs out there for the PlayStation 2. Personally, it's my
 favorite PS2 game out there. Episode I has a great storyline, as well
 as gameplay. Most of the game itself is pretty fun, though
 frustrating at times. Really, the only thing that could make this
 game truly great is a nice set of side quests the player can partake
 in throughout the game. Though it really lacks a true optional boss
 (for example, Omega Weapon in Final Fantasy VIII and Ozma in Final
 Fantasy IX). But the other side quests definately make up for that
 absense. Here, I have provided a guide to aid you in the side quests.
 Or, it will assure that you haven't missed any. I truly hope this
 guide helps you in those ways, which will ultimately make the
 Xenosaga experience truly worthwhile. :)

**** II: Version History *****
****************************
                        *


 ** Version 0.5: 03/06/03 - 03/07/03

       The guide is first created. Parts 1-4, 7-9 are
       completed. The guide is first posted at GameFAQS
       (http://www.gamefaqs.com). Work on version 0.7
       commenses.

 ** Version 0.7: 03/07/03 - 03/11/03

       Part 6 is completed. I begin to work on the
       sections of Part 5. Section 5A is completed. I
       also added some more optional bosses, which
       should complete that part. In addition, I
       changed the Table of Contents design along with
       the Part label designs (the arrows labeling
       each part of the guide). I also added in the
       new Emails section onto the Table of Contents.
       I plan on working on it for the next version.
       Finally, I have added some more information to
       Part VIII.

 ** Version 0.8: 3/11/03 - 3/13/03

       Section 5D has been added. I also added a new
       FAQ part, which I also completed for this
       version. I will begin on section 5C as well as
       part VII for the next version.

 ** Version 0.85: 3/13/03 - 3/17/03

       I changed the overall format of the guide.
       Actually, this was the version that first was
       posted, but I forgot to change the version
       number at the top.  I fixed some more typos
       and changed some stuff a little bit. Nothing
       major added. I'm getting a lot of work done on
       section 5C though.

 ** Version 0.9: 3/16/03 - 3/XX/03



                        *

*** III. Optional Bosses *****
****************************
                        *


    Xenosaga Episode I has its fair share of optional enemies you may
 wish to encounter at some time in the game. Most of them are at a fairly
 high level of difficulty depending on the strength of your characters.
 Though in most games, the optional bosses are usually more difficult
 than the normal bosses. But in this particular game, that is not the
 case.

 ========================================================================
                               - Ace Pilot -
 ========================================================================
    Before considering to hunt down Ace Pilot, keep in mind that it's not
 really Ace Pilot you're going to fight. Though you techically fight him,
 the real battle begins after his HP reaches zero. In this case, one of
 two things can occur depending on how far you are in the game. When you
 first gain access to the U-TIC Battleship via EVS, you can fight Ace
 Pilot and he will pilot his first A.G.W.S., Meld Gareth. Once you have
 beaten the Song of Nephilim, you can return to the U-TIC Battleship to
 fight Ace Pilot, only this time he will pilot his other A.G.W.S., Din
 Gareth.

    Of course, you can still fight Meld Gareth if you please. Just make
 sure you have at least two of your party members are in an A.G.W.S. when
 Ace Pilot's HP reaches zero. Then he will pilot Meld Gareth instead of
 Din Gareth.

    The best part about these guys is that you can fight them as many
 times as you want. Personally, I don't consider them "optional bosses",
 but they fit more in this part of the guide than any other part. This is
 a great way to gain levels as well as various points to upgrade your
 tech attacks, skills, and ethers.

    To get to Ace Pilot, use the EVS to get to the U-TIC Battleship. Note
 that this enemy only appears in the EVS. Earlier in the game, you
 visited this place with Jr. along with Mary and a nameless soldier in
 your battle party. When you were here earlier in the game, there was a
 room where you fought a Zolfo A.G.W.S. This room was called the Sodier
 Room, and Ace Pilot is inside here. To get to this room, make your way
 from the starting point to the first laser barrier. When you wer here
 with Jr., you had to disable these red laser barriers to progress
 further into the battleship. Of course, they're disabled already in the
 EVS version of this place. Moving along, walk across the southernmost
 barrier and continue going straight until you reach a door. There are
 two red objects you can destroy on each side of the door. Enter the door
 and walk to the right for a while (you'll have to go down a few steps to
 keep going right). You'll walk past some destroyable plants in pots.
 Keep walking to the right and you'll pass a red door. Walk past it and
 you will come across another red door (it's the last one). Enter it and
 you will see a man dressed in a black spacesuit-like outfit. Unlike all
 other enemies in the game, he is not aggressive and thus, will not
 persue you. You yourself must initiate this battle.

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Battle Information
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  - HP: 360                   There really isn't any required strategy
  - Weakness: Fire         for this battle. Simply fight him as you would
  - Item: Skl. Upgrade A   with any other normal enemy. Keep in mind that
  - Rarity: Ethr Upgrd A   if you want the items he provides, you are
  - STR:  50               going to have to steal them. You will not
  - VIT:  15               receive the item after battle because this guy
  - EATK: 30               enters one of his A.G.W.S. units when his HP
  - EDEF: 20               reaches zero or below.
  - DEX:  30
  - EVA:  20
  - AGL:  8
  - EXP:  30
  - G:    500
  - T.Pts: 10
  - E.Pts: 4
  - S.Pts: 16

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Battle Information - Meld Gareth
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  - HP: 5500                  Meld Gareth has two different attacks. The
  - Weakness: None         first one is called 'Dragon Scale', which is
  - Item: Frame Repair Z   an attack that damages only one character.
  - Rarity: B-MAX Circuit  His more dangerous attack is his '68-Series
  - STR:  110              Missle' which is not only more powerful than
  - VIT:  80               'Dragon Scale', but attacks the entire party
  - EATK: 50               as well. It's best to transfer your characters
  - EDEF: 10               into A.G.W.S. units if they can. If you're
  - DEX:  30               using KOS-MOS, it's very nice to have the
  - EVA:  10               'Double Buster' accessory equiped. It lets you
  - AGL:  6                perform two Tech Attacks if you have enough
  - EXP:  4000             AP. Refer to the Part IV: Segment Addresses to
  - G:    1000             learn how to get the Double Buster item if you
  - T.Pts: 60              do not already have it.
  - E.Pts: 20                 If you do choose to keep any character out
  - S.Pts: 60              of an A.G.W.S., you will obviously be doing a
                           lot of healing.
    While you are fighting this enemy, it's best to guard first to gain
 AP. Then use W-ACT, which is necessary to deal a lot of damage. 'Guard
 Recovery' equipped to any of your A.G.W.S.' is a valuable tool, since
 you will be guarding almost half of the time if you wish. This way, you
 heal some damage while guarding.
    Equip any heavy-damage piercing guns to every A.G.W.S. you plan on
 using during this fight. A flamethrower or gatling gun are also weapons
 you should consider equiping to your A.G.W.S. units. These can play a
 large roll in defeating Meld Gareth.
    If you're not planning on using any A.G.W.S. units at all, make sure
 at least two of your characters have Medica All set on them. Medica Rest
 can also be very helpful if Meld Gareth likes to focus on one character
 with his 'Dragon Scale' attack for a couple turns. Make sure you have
 good equipment on your characters, and their levels are at least around
 37. Keeping your party's HP high thoughout the battle is the key to
 coming out as the victor. If possible, try to steal his B-MAX Circuit
 item if you get the chance. Don't take the chance if you need to heal
 first, though. You can always fight Meld Gareth again.

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Battle Information - Din Gareth
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  - HP: 8500                  Like Meld Garenth, Din Gareth has two
  - Weakness: None         attacks as well. Luckily, both can only attack
  - Item: Frame Repair Z   one party member at a time. His first attack
  - Rarity: Fst Crcuit 25  is '20mm Blaster', which does around 250+
  - STR:  150              damage depending on how much you have worksd
  - VIT:  80               on your characters/A.G.W.S.'s. His other
  - EATK: 50               attack is called '71-Series Railcannon'. This
  - EDEF: 30               attack is very painful as it roughly 600 HP
  - DEX:  50               worth of damage. What's even more deadly is
  - EVA:  10               its critical hit, which can do over 1000
  - AGL:  6                damage! That'll take down most of your
  - EXP:  8000             characters if they aren't a high enough level
  - G:    1000             or you didn't upgrade their HP enough with
  - T.Pts: 80              Tech Points. That is, if it hit a character
  - E.Pts: 20              not in an A.G.W.S.
  - S.Pts: 80                 As far as strategy, it's basically the same
                           as the one with Meld Gareth. The only change
  you'll need to keep in mind is that you can only have one character
  enter their A.G.W.S. before you defeat Ace Pilot. Otherwise, you'll
  end up fighting Meld Gareth instead.
     Just keep an eye on your HP and watch out for his '71-Series
  Railcannon'. With all this in mind, you should have a very good chance
  at victory.

 ========================================================================
                            - Athra 26 Series -
 ========================================================================

    Enter the Song of Nephilim and head into Tower One. You need to get
 to the sixth floor to get into Tower Two. Destroy fifteen blocks, then
 activate the elevator. After entering the tower, walk to the left. The
 first exit you see is the one you want to enter. Do so and head to Tower
 Two. Once there, you sould save. the Athra 26 Series may a difficut
 fight, depending on you level, equipment, and other statistics. Whether
 you decide to save or not, enter the doorway directly across the doorway
 you just came out of. Somehow make it past the enemy and make use of the
 ladder. When you make it down the ladder, make your way to furthest
 ladder on this section. Go down that ladder and make your way to the
 last ladder in this section as well. Climb up that ladder and make your
 way to a set of boxes you can destroy. The second one contains a
 'Defibrilator Vest' while the third box contains a 'Neo Armor Beta'. The
 next box houses the Athra 26 Series.

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Battle Information
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  - HP: 3000                  There are some precautions that need to be
  - Weakness: None         taken into consideration before attempting to
  - Item: Revive DX        fight this guy. Firstoff, attacking him with a
  - Rarity: N/A            Beam, Fire, or Ether attribute weapons will
  - STR:  90               only cause him to become invulnerable to that
  - VIT:  15               type of attack for the remainer of the battle.
  - EATK: 90               Also, he will try to cast Engine Stop on any
  - EDEF: 26               A.G.W.S. units in the party, so make sure you
  - DEX:  50               have Engine Shields equipped to any mechs you
  - EVA:  45               plan on using. If you do not plan on using any
  - AGL:  11               mechs, or plan on having some characters out
  - EXP:  2400             of them, then make sure they make use of their
  - G:    0                first fire, ice, lighting, spirit or beam
  - T.Pts: 120             attacks. After that, only physical attacks and
  - E.Pts: 24              techs classified as a 'Hit' type of damage
  - S.Pts: 100             will hurt him. Also, keep into consideration
                           that this guy can boost a lot, so you'll need
  a good healer in your group to spend most of his/her time healing. With
  all of this kept in mind, your chances of victory greaten. Successfully
  defeating this boss gains you Decoder 2!

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 ========================================================================



 ========================================================================
                              - Great Joe -
 ========================================================================

    Before you go looking for Great Joe, you need to make sure Jr. is in
 your party, and he is the one walking around on the field. That is the
 only way Great Joe is visible. After you have those things set, head to
 the Residential Area of the Durandal. Search for the room with the green
 carpet and a silver monolith which acts as an item shop (the silver
 object that looks identicle to save point, but silver). Once you are in
 that room, head to the closet doors and destroy the right one. Then,
 Great Joe himself will challenge you to combat.

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Battle Information
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  - HP: 9999                  There are some things you should keep in
  - Weakness: None         mind before taking on this guy. Most of his
  - Item: Swimsuit         attacks are physical attacks, which means he
  - Rarity: N/A            usually doesn't hurt those in back row. It is
  - STR:  100              a good idea to keep your healer behind Jr.,
  - VIT:  30               especially if you don't normally use Jr. in
  - EATK: 68               your party. This way, your healer receives
  - EDEF: 20               minimal damage and can focus on healing the
  - DEX:  40               other two members of the party.
  - EVA:  40                  Joe's 'Heart Shot Punch' is a status attack
  - AGL:  11               he doesn't use too often. But when he does,
  - EXP:  18000            the character struck will be infected with the
  - G:    200              Curse status effect, as well as receive
  - T.Pts: 200             damage. If you ever see the message 'Planning
  - E.Pts: 180             Combination Attack', this means he's charging
  - S.Pts: 200             his attack and it will do some major damage.
                           Note that after you receive this message and
  before his next turn, you can attack him which may cancel this
  terrifying attack. If Joe decides to cast an Ether called 'Celebration'
  upon himself, this will increase his Ether attacks. This is usually
  followed by a very strong Ether attack that damages your entire party.
  If he casts 'Celebration' on himself, immediately heal everyone as much
  as possible. If you have chaos in your party and he has his 'Best Ally'
  Ether plus 50 EP to use it, this would be a good time to use this
  Ether. 'Best Ally' will effect everyone in your party and if they get
  killed, they will automatically be revived and brought to full health.
     When Joe gets to around 4000 HP, he challenges Jr. to a duel. If you
  wish, use this change to use Jr. specifically while the other
  characters heal him. If you attack with another character, however, Joe
  responds with a counter attack.
     When Joe reaches 2000 HP, the duel is over and he casts an effect
  that has a 50% chance of reversing healing and damage on him. So
  attacks will heal him while healing items and spells will damage him.
  It's best to do a weak attack to see if his effect was successful or
  not.
     Coming out as the victor of this battle will earn you another
  Swimsuit and 200 G. You will also get the Magnum Joe Ether for Jr. as
  well as the Soul Rhapsody Tech Attack!

    ====================================================================
       In Xenogears, there is a man named Big Joe. Though Big Joe
    doesn't play any major roll in the game, he can provide some mild
    comic relief at times. He also allows you to indulge yourself in one
    of Xenogears' own mini games. But that's Xenogears.

 ========================================================================
                               - Mintia -
 ========================================================================

    This optional boss first becomes available during the Gnosis attack
    upon the Kukai Foundation. However, chances are you characters aren't
 strong enough to defeat her. I highly suggest you wait until later in
 the game. Though, there are some people out there like myself who would
 at least like to try to fight her when she first becomes available. Let
 me tell you, it is very difficult if you do not know what you are doing.
 Also note that the Battle Information provided below are intended to aid
 those who wish to battle Mintia when she first becomes avaible.

    Moving along, you need to make sure you have MOMO in your party and
 have her the one walking around on the field. Otherwise, Mintai will
 never appear. Mintia is found on the hidden second floor of the 'Iron
 Man' bar at City Sector 26 & 27 in the Kukai Foundation. To get to her,
 you need to do a series of things. First off, get to the front of the
 'Iron Man' bar. Notice the three overhangs above the entrance. Also
 notice how the middle one is now lowered. To lower it, find the crank
 located on the left overhang and turn it. If a nearby girl warns you not
 to touch the crank, simply ignore her. She doesn't know what she's
 missing. Anyways, after turning the crank the center overhang islowered.
 Next, enter the 'Our Treasure' inn. Walk up the stairway at the
 northeastern section of the building. Once on the second floor, enter
 the room to the left. It has a pink carpet. Exit the room by entering
 the doorway to the south. This will lead you to a catwalk outside. On
 the catwalk, make your way to the right of the screen until you come
 across a set of plants that you can destroy. Destroy it and walk off the

 catwalk. You will land on the overhangs above the 'Iron Man' bar. Now
 that the center overhang is lowered, you can walk across the overhang
 and enter the window directly above the right overhang. MAKE SURE that
 as you walk across the overhang, you have the d-pad or analog stick on
 your controller pointing between UP and RIGHT. If you just go right,
 you'll fall off the overhang. And if you only walk up, you wont get
 anywhere. So do as instructed so you don't fall off, and you can enter
 the window. Now you are in a small section. You should notice to the
 left side of the screen the section of the 'Iron Man' bar you have
 visited before. Anyways, walk forward and MOMO will notice something odd
 and will stop to see what it is. Mintia appears and challenges MOMO to a
 fight.

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Battle Information
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  - HP: 7777                  If you haven't already, put MOMO behind one
  - Weakness: None         of the other two characters, since Mintia has
  - Item: Penguin Rod      a Dark Star attack that not only causes
  - Rarity: Craft Apron    damage, but pushes the victim into the back
  - STR:  20               row. Keep in mind that even though she may say
  - VIT:  20               "Dark Star",it does not necessarily mean she
  - EATK: 80               is doing this particular attack.
  - EDEF: 32                  Mintia has an attack called 'Dark Snake'.
  - DEX:  80               This attack can sometimes become very annoying
  - EVA:  50               as it deals damage as well causes the 'Attack
  - AGL:  12               Poison' status effect. Do not attempt to use
  - EXP:  22000            an antidote to cure this effect, as it will do
  - G:    12000            nothing. Instead, use a Cure-All item or a
  - T.Pts: 160             status-clearing Ether. She can also use her
  - E.Pts: 240             'Shadow Eye' attack, which lowers the
  - S.Pts: 200             dexterity of one character.
                              Occasionally, Mintia will perform her
  'Special Chains' attack which disables the CIRCLE button for one
  character. Characters with this status effect will not be able to use
  tech attacks.
     Aside from the above attacks, Mintia can also summon her pet Bibo,
  who can do two different attacks. When Bibo appears, pay attention to
  the color of the symbols that glow from Bibo. If the symbols are pink,
  Bibo will perform an attack that deals damage to the entire party. As
  threatening as this sounds, this attack's damage will only decrease
  each party member's HP by a quarter of their current HP (not to be
  confused with their max HP). So really, it is impossible for your party
  to be taken down by this attack alone. As for the second attack, the
  symbols around Bibo will be blue. This attack will bring one
  character's HP to 1. In addition, Bibo will absorb the damage and use
  it to heal Mintia. If your characters have good equipment and stats,
  try to keep their HP lower than usual, so this attack doesn't benefit
  Mintia significantly.
     Another thing to keep in mind is that Mintia does not like males. If
  a male character attacks her, she will almost always respond with a
  counter attack toward that specific character.
     Finally, like the battle with Great Joe you really can't cause
  significant damage to Mintia. Instead, you need to focus on keeping
  your characters alive long enough to defeat Mintia.
     With all of this said, you should be well prepared for this battle.
  Successfully defeating Mintia will gain you MOMO's final weapon, the
  'Penguin Rod'. You also receive the Tech attack for MOMO, 'Dark
  Scepter'. Finishing off a Gnosis with this Tech Attack will turn
  Gnosis into an item. Some items can only be attained this way, such as
  chaos' final weapon. Refer to Part 7: Various Information to see a list
  of these rare items.

** IV: Segment Addresses *****
****************************
                        *

       Spread across the game, there are eighteen rooms behind unique red
    doors. These places are called Segment Addresses and are usually
    hidden in one fasion or another. You will also come across Decoders
    which allow you to enter their matching Segment Address. Behind these
    hidden doors lie special items.

       Early in the game within the Wonglinde, you will meet a man by the
    name of Sergant Swaine. After explaining what the Segment Addresses
    are, he presents to you the much-needed item 'Segment File'. With it,
    you will know which Segment Addresses you have visted and which
    Decoders you have obtained.

    In order to play this game, you're going to need the Drill
 Passport. This can only be obtained by talking to Holgar aboard the
 Woglinde before the Gnosis attack. He is NOT in the EVS version of
 the Woglinde. If you miss this opportunity, you wont be able to
 play this mini game. Holgar can be found near the drill. You will
 also see a lot of rubble spread across the area. To get to the drill
 from the Vector section of the ship, exit that part and make your way
 to the area with the Realians. Exit through the other door and keep
 on going until you see the drill and rubble. Holgar is the man in
 orange suit. He stands right next to the drill. Speak with him and
 agree to help him with the drill. After destroying all the rubble,
 he will give you the Drill Passport.

    To play this game, open the main menu and choose the Item option.
 Tap R1 once to get to the second item menu. Look for the Drill
 Passport and select it. You will then open the Drillgame.

 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
  - MISSIONS -
 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

     Mission One
   ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
 - Requirement:     None.

 - Objective:       In this mission, your objective is to destroy all of the
                 boxes within 80 seconds. You need to make sure all the
                 boxes have been destroyed and the drill in its default
                 position before the counter reaches zero. Otherwise, the
                 mission is considered to be a failure.

 - Strategy:        If you think you are going to destroy all the boxes one
                 by one, you wont beat this mission. Believe me, I've tried
                 it many times and rarely got close. The catch is to destroy
                 two boxes at a time at least four times. Also, try not to
                 miss at all costs. The slightest waste of time can ruin
                 everything. Be patient and focus on your aim. Accuracy
                 is everything.

 - Reward:          Successfully completing this mission will gain you one
                 Speet Stim DX. You can also win five Card Pack #1's by
                 completing the mission additional times. The consolation
                 for failure is a Med Kit.


     Mission Two
   ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
 - Requirement:     None.

 - Objective:       For this mission, you must destroy a set of fairly small
                 containers within 120 seconds. You wont have to worry about
                 occasionally destroying two at a time like in the previous
                 mission. Having to aim for the small objects in this
                 mission can be hard enough.


 - Strategy:        Luckily, you have 40 additional seconds to complete this
                 mission. The best strategy would be to focus more on aiming
                 for the small objects, avoiding to rush. Also, try to take
                 advantage of the different views. Finding the best view
                 will definately reduce the time needed to aim.

 - Reward:          Victory will win you a Yamato Belt. Like the previous
                 mission, completing it additional times will win you five
                 Card Pack #1's. Similar as will, a Med Kit is your
                 consolation prize.


     Mission Three
   ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
 - Requirement:     To gain access to this mission, you had to have spoken
                 to Bunnie in the Encephalon in order for this mission to
                 appear on the Mission Menu. If you already did so, then
                 there is obviously no problem.

 - Objective:       The objective for this mission is to destroy the moving
                 targets within 90 seconds.

 - Strategy:        The targets are moving bunnies who walk back and forth
                 on fixed paths. Since they walk back and forth, it is easy
                 to anticipate the correct time to release the drill.
                 What also adds a bit more ease to this mission is the
                 fact that the bunnies can actually walk into the drill,
                 even if you clearly missed them.

 - Reward:          Completion of this mission will win you Hunter Goggles.
                 The consolation prize and the prize for additional
                 completions are identicle to that of the previous missions.


      Mission Four
   ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
 - Requirement:     Again, speak to Bunnie in the Encephalon.

 - Objective:       This time, you have 50 seconds to hit one very quick
                 bunny that hops onto random spots, making its path
                 impossible to anticipate.

 - Strategy:        The best thing to do is to release the drill at the
                 center of the stage as many times as possible. This stage
                 is based more on luck and pace than skill. Within the 50
                 seconds given to you, you have a fairly decent change of
                 striking the bunny. Remember that, like in the previous
                 mission, it can also walk into the drill if it's down at
                 the right time.

 - Reward:          Being lucky enough to complete this stage will gain you
                 a Swimsuit. And, once again, the consolation prize and the
                 prize for completing the mission additional times is the
                 same.

                          Now what?
             ===================================
    After you have completed all four missions, you are
 rewarded with a new drill bit to use if you please. It is
 larger and makes destroyign targets a lot easier. Although
 it is a very nice thing to have, there is a slight
 drawback. When you choose to use the larger drill bit,
 there is a chance that a smaller drill bit will accidently
 placed instead. The smaller drill bit is smaller than the
 original one, so it adds some significant challenge. But

 the risk of this happening is usually worth taking since
 the larger drill bit is incredibly helpful.

                  +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+


    To gain access to this game, you are going to need the Battle
 Passport. It's very easy to get, actually. It lies within the KOS-MOS
 Simulator within the Encephalon Drive Unit (the black object KOS-MOS
 sleeps in). The first time you can go to attain this item is after
 you have completed the KOS-MOS Simluator for the first time. You can
 return to this simulator anytime while you are on the Woglinde,
 except during the Gnosis attack. You'll have to wait until you get to
 the first EVS plate for your next chance. Moving along, the passport
 lies at the end of the KOS-MOS Simulator where you fought Drone GX.
 Once you get the Battle Passport, you can play this mini game any
 time you want as long as you are at an EVS plate.

    To play this game, open the main menu and choose the Item option.
 Tap R1 once to get to the second item menu. Look for the Battle
 Passport and select it. You will then open the A.G.W.S. Battle game.

   Weapon           Ammo     Description
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
  Unarmed           None     An attack with no weapons that does
                             minimal damage.

  Aird              80       A long-range weapon that shoots out a
                             burst of ten shots at once. Though each
                             shot does a small amount of damage, the
                             added damage is great.

  Axe               None     A weapon with short range but does a
                             fairly decent amount of damage.

  Beam Arm          10-20    Though its rate of fire is fairly slow,
                             its long-range damage can do a fairly
                             decent amount of damage.

  Beam Launcher     15       This weapon's very long range and large
                             amount of damage makes up for its slow
                             preparation and firing rate.

  Beam Rifle        20       Its quick rate of fire is nice, but its
                             small damage is only a tad helpful.

  Beam Sword        None     Pretty good damage and range for a
                             close-combat weapon.

  Chaff Box         12       This item affects the systems of your
                             opponent, causing them to malfunction.

  Drill Claw        None     Despite it's very short range, it deals
                             a lot of damage. It's range is only a
                             little bit longer than being unarmed.

  E.C.M. Pod        8-16     This weapon causes your opponent's
                             vision to act abnormally for a small
                             set of time. It deals no damage,
                             though. As far as range goes, it can go
                             straight or surrounds your A.G.W.S.
                             depending on your chosen model.

  Flame Launcher    Special  This weapon is quite helpful. Its
                             damage is pretty good while your
                             opponent lies within the flame. Instead
                             of using normal ammunition, it is
                             counted as a percentage. When it
                             reaches 0%, it becomes useless. What's
                             helpful is it can reach around the
                             edges of permanent obstacles. Keep in
                             mind that each sheet of flame lasts for
                             around three seconds.

  Gatling Gun       Special  This weapon's fire rate is very fast.
                             Like the flame thrower, its ammo is
                             measured by a percentage rather than a
                             number. It's range is only of a medium
                             level, though. For the AG-05 model
                             A.G.W.S., this weapon has 145 rounds of
                             ammo and only does a small bit of
                             damage.

  Grenade           6        A strong weapon with medium range and
        Launcher             slow fire rates.

  Hammer            None     Deals strong damage, but has a short
                             range.

  Hand Gun          60-65    Though it does a small amount of damage
                             per shot. Its decent range and fast
                             rate of fire make up for this. Holding
                             down the firing button(s) will cause it
                             to do a continuous rate of fire.

  Hand              20-45    Its wide range and slight homing
     Missile Pod             ability makes up for this weapons
                             moderate range and rate of fire.

  Lancer Arm        None     This weapon is slightly slowers than
                             the sword, but has a longer range. Its
                             damage is pretty good.

  Large             5        This weapon is basically all-around
     Missile Pod             better than the Hand Missle Pod. It
                             deals more damage, has a great homing
                             ability, and has a wide range. It's
                             only drawback is its small amount of
                             ammo, but its well worth it.

  Long Beam Rifle   20       Besides it being slower to use, this
                             rifle is better than the Beam Rifle.
                             Its longer fire-pulse results in
                             dealing more damage.

  Long-range        5        This weapon does an incredibly large
          Cannon             amount of damage as well as having a
                             long range. Despite this, it is a very
                             slow weapon to use.

  Pile Driver       None     Despite it being very slow to use, it
                             deals a significantly large amount of
                             damage. It also has good range for a
                             close-combat weapon.

  Rifle             6        While a long range and a good damage is
                             its strong points, it is a slow weapon
                             to use. Its limited ammo is another
                             draw-back.

  Shield            Special  This isn't really a weapon, however, it
                             it does protect you from receiving
                             damage. Since it isn't a real weapon,
                             it doesn't have ammo. Instead, it is
                             measured by percentages. When it
                             reaches zero percent, the shield will
                             no longer protect you. Keep in mind
                             that you cannot move while you use the
                             shield.

  Shield            15       Basically, it is a combination of the
       Beam Rifle            two weapons that is dropped when the
                             ammo for the beam rifle runs out.

  Stun Gun          None     It's a slow close-combat weapon that
                             can do fairly good damage with its
                             short-range burst of electricity.

  Submachine Gun    160-225  Though each hit only does a small bit
                             of damage, its high rate of fire and
                             moderate to long range quickly make
                             this weapon worth using. Holding down
                             the firing button(s) will cause it to
                             continuously fire.

  Sword             None     A close-combat weapon that does a
                             decent amount of damage with an okay
                             reach.

  Wide Beam Pod     50       Though it does not travel far, this
                             beam weapon does a small amount of
                             damage with a pretty good amount of
                             shots.

 |      There are some things you may want to know before you     \

           - STAGES -
         =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

     Stage One
   ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
    The layout for this stage is pretty basic. Large buildings act as
 permanent obstacles while smaller objects like trees are scattered
 inbetween. Because your opponent starts directly in front of you but
 to a far distance, a good long-distance weapon can give you a good
 start. The area is a street scene.


     Stage Two
   ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
    This warehouse stage is a bit darker than the first stage. As far
 as obstacles are concerned, temporary obstacles dominate this stage.
 Like the previous stage, your opponent begins directly in front of
 you, but to a significant distance. A couple temporary obstacles
 like between the two of you. Permanent obstacles can be found near
 the edges of the stage. Try not to lose sight of your opponent.


     Stage Three
   ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
     Unlike the previous two stages, your opponent begins much closer
  to you, so battle will begin almost as soon as you can move. Large
  purple pillars are placed through the stage in an "X" pattern.
  These can be helpful to block your opponent's long-distance
  attacks. Unfortunately, they can also block your opponent from you.


     Stage Four
   ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
     Like stage two, this stage is in a warehouse-like area. It is a
  bit foggy to hide your opponent from you a tad. Boxes are scattered
  throughout the stage. Unlike the previous three missions, you don't
  start in front of your opponent. Instead, you two lie at opposite
  ends of the stage. Your opponent can be found forward and to the
  left from where you begin.

                         Now what?
            ===================================
    Unfortunately, successfully completing all four stages
 does not gain you any prize. Basically, the fact that you
 won is your prize. This mini game is pretty fun and can be
 a real challenge at times if you're not prepared. Now that
 you've beaten all four stages, you're more prepared to take
 on a friend in the multi-player mode.

 +-+   Section A: Creating Invincible Robot: Erde Kaiser   +-+
    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+


      One of the most useful Ether spells attained in Xenosaga Episode I
   is the Erde Kaiser summon for Shion. Though it costs 60 EP to use in
   battle and is the only Ether Shion can have equipped when it is
   equipped, it does 9999 damage to anything, including the final boss.
   The side quest involved to attain this amazing Ether is actually
   very simple. In this section I will explain exactly what you need
   to do.

 * First you'll need to get the six robot parts. Yup, only six of them.
   Refer to Part 4: Segment Address and Decoder Locations. The robot
   parts are numbers 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, and 9. Though it isn't required
   for you to get them all at once, it'll make the quest flow  quickly
   and seem faster.

 * When you have all six parts, go to the A.G.W.S. Parts Shop &
   Foundation Robot Academy. It is the southernmost place within the
   Kukai Foundation. As soon as you are inside the building, walk to the
   left of the screen. Walk past the shop and keep on going until you
   see a sign with a thin orange arrow that goes straight and then
   downward. Go down the stairs and you will be inside the Robot
   Academy. Now the quest truly begins:

 * Chapter One: Genius Scientist Appears!!

      This chapter is basically the introduction to the quest. You meet
   the professor and he tells you about his dream to make an invincible
   robot. He then asks you to help him collect the robot parts. If you
   already have them, simply exit the room and re-enter it. If not,
   you should go get the Right and Left Arms (Segment Addresses 7 & 9).

 * Chapter Two: Foundation Robot Academy!

      When you enter the lab, the lab is all dirty. Talk to the
   professor and he will take the parts from you. Clean the lab for him
   by using the SQUARE button and destroying the junk. Messy professor!
   You get the 'Throni Blade' Ether for Shion. Like before, if you
   already have the parts, simply exit and re-enter to begin the next
   chapter. If not, get the Right and Left Legs (Segment Addresses 3 & 8).

* Chapter Three: Hyper Assistant Scott Appears!!

      Upon entering, you will get to meet the professor's new
   assistant, Assistant Scott. Assistant Scott (Assistant Scott, no
   less) aids the Professor (not Profe or Pro) in assembling the next
   summon for Shion, 'Dominion Tank'. As usual, if you already have all
   the pieces, exit and re-enter. If not, go get the Robot Head
   (Segment Address 2).

 * Chapter Four: Crisis!! A Dark Shadow Befalls the Robot Lab?!

     Unfortunately, when you enter the lab it seems the Professor and
   Assistant Scott are in a bit of a conflict. The Professor decides
   he doesn't need Assistant Scott, and he gives Assistant Scott the
   boot. But under the circumstances, there is an 82.256% chance that
   the professor is at fault. After things settle down, he assembles
   'Seraphim Bird' alone. Once again, if you already have the final
   piece exit and re-enter. If not, go get the Robot Body (Segment
   Address 2).

 * Final Chapter - Part I: A Friendship in Crisis!

      Now that you have attained the final piece, the professor
   assembles the final piece. To your disappointment, you do not receive
   an Ether for this part, as it is simple the piece that links all the
   other pieces together. It's called the 'Kelbim Dragon'. But no
   worries; you're about to get the 'Erde Kaiser'! Or are you? It seems
   the professor needs Assistant Scott afterall! But where could
   Assistant Scott be?! Where else but the 'Iron Man' bar at City Sector
   26 & 27? Talk to him and he explains how the professor needs him.
   After that, he runs off in a hurry. You should, too!

 * Final Chapter - Part II: Friendships are Forever...

      When you return to the lab, it is now time to finally assemble all
   off the parts to create the 'Erde Kaiser'. Together, the professor
   and Assistant Scott successfully manage to assemble Shion's final
   Ether, and their dream to create an invincible robot becomes a
   reality.

 * Special Notes

      Keep in mind that the 'Erde Kaiser' Ether costs 60 EP to use
   during battle. Good thing you upgraded Shion's EP...right? If not,
   use as many Tech Points as possible to upgrade Shion's EP. This would
   be a good time to use any Tech Upgrades you have left in your
   inventory. As a last resort, you can still equip Shion with the
   Silver Crown, which raises Max EP by 15%!



                   /*****************************\
                  ** --- Xenogears Reference --- **
====================================================================
    In Xenogears, there are four women you have to fight during
 various points in the game. They are called the Elements. The names
 of the Elements seemed to have been used to name the four parts that
 make up Erde Kaiser, though the names were altered a bit.

    And if that isn't enough, the transformation of Erde Kaiser when
 you summon it is suspiciously similar to the transformation of the
 Elements' Gears into one giant robot in Xenogears. Interesting.
====================================================================
                  \*****************************/


                  +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
               +-+ Section B: Fish Detector  +-+
                  +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+


      By completing this quest, you gain Decoder 8 which is necessary to
   complete the Segment Address Side Quest. In addition, the item behind
   Segment Door 8 is one of the required items to receive Shion's most
   powerful Ether, Erde Kaiser. So by completing this simple side quest,
   you are practically killing three Gnosis with one stone.

 *    First off, go to the Dock Colony and speak to the woman standing
   in front of the Clinic. She will mention how her husband lost his
   Fish Detector. She admits she made the mistake of putting it in his
   tuxedo pocket before sending it off to the cleaners. The only
   cleaners in the game lies at City Sector 26 & 27 of the Kukai
   Foundation.

 *    Next, head to City Sector 26 & 27 of the Kukai Foundation. Go to
   the next screen on the left. Make your way to the upper floor of the
   cleaners and search for a tuxedo hanging on the wall. A set of stairs
   leading downward can be seen directly to the left of the tuxedo. When
   you locate the tuxedo, walk up to hit and press the CIRCLE button.
   You will then receive the Fish Detector.

 *    Now head to 'Iron Man' bar at City Sector 26 & 27. Go to the left
   part of the bar and look for a blonde-haired woman in a light purple
   outfit. She her lost the Engagement Ring and had recently received.
   It seems she dropped it and a fish got a hold of it.

 *    Now your Fish Detector comes in handy. Head to the Private Beach
   and walk up to the shore. Now you can use your Fish Detector. Walk
   into the water and try to catch the fish by using the CIRCLE button.
   You can attain three different items from the fish here. One fish has
   a Med Kit while another has a Speet Stim. You will also come across
   a fish that has the Engagement Ring the woman at the 'Iron Man' bar
   had lost.

 *    With the Engagement Ring now in your inventory, head back to the
   'Iron Man' bar and speak to the woman who lost the ring. She will
   be very greatful and present to you the Decoder 8. That is basically
   it for this small side quest. Keep in mind that you can't receive any
   rewards for returning the Fish Detector to the woman at the Dock
   Colony.


               +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
            +-+ Section C: Silent Patient - Luty  +-+
               +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+


       At the Dock Colony, there is a girl by the name of Luty whose
    home planet Ariadne mysteriously destroyed. Because of this, she no
    longer speaks because of the emense trauma. Before you consider
    completing this side quest, keep in mind that the prize is nothing
   more than a Tech Upgrade Z. That's 100 Tech Points for one character
   right there, but nothing extremely spectacular like very good
   equipment. If you're willing to do this for simply that item, or just
   so you can say you've done everything in the game, follow the steps
   below.

 *    Walk into the Clinic at the Dock Colony and look for a small girl
   standing by the blue flower pot. She has brunette hair and a black
   shirt. Speak to her to begin the quest. She wont say anything

 *    So make your way to the last room in the clinic all the way to the
   left. There are three blue chairs and two beds in this room. Between
   the chairs and the beds stands a nurse. Talk to her and she will tell
   you about Luty's home planet, Ariadne. Unfortunately there isn't
   anything the doctors can do to help Luty. But it seems there still
   may be some hope. Perhaps a Ariadne Flower may cheer Luty up. Alas,
   they can only be found on Ariadne. Or can they?

 *    Now you must make your way to the 'Costmary' flower shop on the
   Cathedral Ship. Once you get there, fight the Hydra to receive
   Decoder 15. Then go further into the shop and take the flower seeds
   on the table. Now get yourself out of the Cathedral Ship, unless you
   have the Decoders to Segment Addresses 9 and 13. You can also find
   Decoders 9 and 15 in the Cathedral Ship as well.

 *    Return to the Clinic at the Dock Colony and speak to Luty again.
   Shion will give Luty the seeds so Luty can take care of them. You
   should first be able to do this after spending the night for the
   first time at the Kukai Foundation. You wont have to return here for
   a little bit, since it does take time for the flower to grow.

 *    A good time to return to Luty would be after completing the
   Encephalon. When you arrive, speak to Luty. Shion will notice that
   the flowers are blooming a little bit. They're making progress. You
   wont be able to continue the quest for a little bit.

 *    The first time you can continue this quest is during the Gnosis
   attack on the Kukai Foundation. When you arrive at the Clinic at the
   Dock Colony, it seems the flowers are finally blooming. This now
   makes Luty joyful enough to start speaking a little bit again. As
   your reward, you get a Tech Upgade Z.

*************** IX. FAQs *****
****************************
                        *

 Q: Why make a side quest guide?

 A: Why not? There are a lot of side quests in Xenosaga Episode I. And
    almost each of them have some good prizes you can win. With this
    guide, you will be able to locate and complete each side quest as
    easily as possible.


 Q: What do you think about Xenosaga's side quests?

 A: Personally, I found most of them to be fun. I wish the optional
    bosses were a bit more tough, though. Or even better, there were
    more. There just weren't any of those damn near impossible ones
    like there are in the Final Fantasy games. And some of the smaller
    quests like the Fish Detector and Luty were a bit dull and short.
    I loved finding all the Segment Addresses, though. A lot of good
    items can be found with it. Especially the prize for collecting
    all six robot parts.


 Q: What did you think of Xenosaga Episode I itself?

 A: I liked this game a lot. As far as gameplay goes, this game excels
    above some other RPGs I like. I found it to be better than
    Xenogears in gameplay, except how the enemies in Xenosaga can
    basically drop-kick your strategy with endless boosts, sometimes
    boosting over your boost. When it comes to storyline, there is no
    doubt that Xenogears is above Xenosaga Episode I. Though this is
    only the first episode, it did have a pretty good storyline itself.
    But if you compair Xenogears' storyline to Episode I's storyline,
    Xenogears is obviously the winner.


 Q: What were your likes and dislikes about the mini games?

 A: The drill game was fun at first, but it eventually got old. It can
    be frustrating, too. What I didn't like is how the last mission
    is based more on luck than skill and strategy. As for the A.G.W.S.
    Battle game, I thought it was pretty fun. I liked the Gears battle
    game in Xenogears more, though. Xeno Card is okay, but I'm not
    much into playing card games. I heard that a lot of people thought
    it was fun, though. I thought it was a cool idea. The Network
    Casino was a cool idea. You can't go wrong with gambling!



 Q: How about the optional bosses?

 A: As I mentioned before, I liked it them but I wished there was
    at least one more that was really diffucult and you can use any
    three characters you want. The only reason I had a little bit of
    trouble with Mintia was because I rarely use MOMO so she was very
    unprepared for this battle. But I just wish there was one boss
    like the Weapons in Final Fantasy VII and VIII, or Ozma in Final
    Fantasy IX. Bosses like those were really fun and even if you
    didn't get a prize for beating them (which you did), it was still
    worth fighting them.


 Q: There are some things about your guide I like/dislike. I also have
    some ideas and suggestions. What should I do?

 A: Tell me as soon as possible. I want to make this guide as good as
    it can be. I want it to be easy to find each section. I like
    organized guides, and I will except no less for a guide of my own.
    If there is anything you want to tell me about my guide, you can
    contact me. For more information on contacting me, refer to
    Part XI: Contact Me.

the guide, don't hesitate to notify me. I am more than happy to see what I can

AOL Instant Messenger if you want, but please make sure your question isn't
already answered in this guide. Almost all instant messages I receive are
clearly answered in this guide, and I don't like to waste my time. Thank you
for your consideration. I really appreciate it.
