II. Overview of FAQ
This guide is created to assist SD Gundam G Generation Portable players
in playing the Mobile Suit Gundam: 08th MS Team Scenario, one of the many
levels in the game. From reading this guide, players would know what to do
in order to finish the scenario's 2 levels and earning its hidden
characters and mobile suits.
III. Scenario
The 08th MS Team Scenario takes place during the One Year War in
Universal Century 0079 in the Asian continent, particularly in the
Southeast Asian region and later on in Tibet, where Shiro Amada and
his comrades in the 08th MS Team must take down Zeonic forces in
the region in order to achieve victory for the Earth Federation.
The scenario is mostly based on the series, with the addition of the
Gundam Generation characters. Also, the scenario takes a little twist
after some things will happen to Shiro, which will be discussed
later on.
IV. Walkthrough
Prologue:
Area: Space
Allies: Shiro Amada
Terry Sanders
Space Transport Ship Captain
Enemies: Aina Saharin
Deployment Spots: None
Objectives:
Mission: Defeat MS-06RD-4 Zaku II
Failure: Death of Shiro Amada
Death of Terry Sanders Jr.
Scenario:
While Shiro and Michel are on their way to Earth to be transferred to the
Earth Federation Army, the two witness a battle between a RGM-79[E] GM Type
E and a MS-06RD-4 Zaku II mobile suit with the former deploying signal
flares for help.
Shiro, wanting to assist his fellow Earth Federation comrades, prepares to
fly out on a RB-79K Ball, despite some problems with the captain of his
Space Transport Ship. With this, Shiro flies out to space and faces the
Zaku II in combat.
Resolution:
First of all, Terry's GM Type E is badly damaged that you have to make sure
he's out of range from Aina's Zaku II before she decides to finish him off
for good. Also, the ship's captain can't do anything to assist Shiro since
it doesn't have any weapon systems. You're on your own.
But basically, the level's quite easy. All you have to do is engage Aina's
Zaku II with the Ball's tackle and 180mm cannon attacks. She should go
down after a few turns.
Level 1:
Area: Forest
Allies: Shiro Amada
Karen Joshua
Terry Sanders Jr.
Eledore Massis
Enemies: Aina Saharin
Norris Packard
Masado
Several Zaku II J pilots
Several Heli/Dopp Pilots
Deployment Spots: North and Southeast
Objectives:
Mission: Defeat All Enemies
Failure: Death of any 08th MS Team member
Scenario:
Landing on Earth, Shiro was indoctrinated into the 08th MS Team alongside
Terry, who he rescued back in space. Soon later, Kojima introduced Shiro
to Karen Joshua and Eledore Massis, who are assigned to the same team
with Shiro.
The team is given their first assignment to track down Zeon forces in
the forests, where they were believed to be sighted.
Resolution:
Deploy the non-scenario battleship to the Southeast, since it's easier
to support the 08th MS Team. Norris Packard will appear in a MS-06J Zaku
II with Masado in a Gunship Heli and will scramble reinforcements,
including more Zaku II Js, Gunship Helis and Dopp Fighters.
This is pretty easy, if you take it slow. Let the 08th MS Team take on the
Zaku reinforcements near the river, while the non-scenario characters take
on the incoming Zaku II Js, the Helis and the Dopps. Careful here, since
the non-scenario characters may die easily if there are ganged up by the
Zakus with their low levels. Use the battleship's armaments to support
your guys and sent them back to the ship if their EN meter starts to
drop down to a point that you have little or no attack skills left.
Team attacks are the main key here if you want them to have some
experience.
Norris, in his Zaku II J, will try to either move in on Shiro and his team
or your non-scenario characters. Whatever comes first, be ready to use
strong attacks and team attacks to damage him since for an ace pilot like
him, he has a lot of life even if he's at level one. If possible, use
team attacks on him when you engage him with 2 to 3 people so's to
drain his life. Masado will try to attack with his Gunship chopper,
but he's pretty easy. Just use a strong attack move to kill him or
the battleship's cannons or lasers. If you want to look dramatic, use
a team attack on him and he'll die on one turn. Watch out for the
Dabude class ships that will unleash Helis when you're close to it
and keep an eye for it to launch its main cannons. If possible, evade
when its chances of hitting you are low. Otherwise, be ready to send
fresh units to attack it.
As you mop up enemy mobile suits, fighters and choppers, use attacks
that can easily take out the turrets on the hills like the 180mm cannon
or the rocket launchers of the RX-79[G] Gundams. Let the non-scenario
characters assist them since they'll need early experience for them
and their mobile suits. Same thing goes with the Zaku cannons stationed
in the area also.
Movie Bonus:
If you destroy all the turrets, you'll get a CG movie where more Zeon forces
are deployed into the forests. Bad luck for the heroes!
As soon as the Apsalus II and more Zeon mobile suits, choppers and Dopps
arrive, let some of the Zaku II Js try to get close, then use team attacks
and moves that can critically injure them or kill them in one turn. Slowly
move close to the Apsalus II and take out more Helis and Dopps. Two Dabude
class ships are here and will not hesistate to deploy in Heli cargo at
you. Divide the forces in half and let the non-scenario characters take
out the choppers while Shiro and the others face the Dabude class
ships.
When you're almost done, the Apsalus II and some mobile weapons (Dopp
Fighters for sure) will hang out with it. Get some mobile suits to take
out the Dopps while a team attack with Shiro should take out Apsalus II.
Be sure to keep an eye for its mega particle cannon. If you're hit by it,
it's usually bad news.
Fight it with the help of the battleship's weapon systems and keep using
team attacks or good attack moves to take down Apsalus II.
Movie Bonus:
If Shiro guns down Apsalus II, a special cut scene will be shown where
Shiro met Aina in a snowy mountain, possibly in Tibet.
Eventually, Shiro and the others will withdraw after they eliminate the
Zeon forces in the area. Good work! Mission complete!
Level 2:
Area: City near Mountains
Allies: Shiro Amada
Karen Joshua
Terry Sanders Jr.
Eledore Massis
Several Guntank Pilots
GM Sniper Pilot
Ethan Ryer
Several GM Ground Type Pilots
Several Jet Core Booster Pilots
Enemies: Ginias Saharin
Norris Packard
Several Zaku II J pilots
Several DOM pilots
Several Dopp pilots
Deployment Spots: West, Center Area
North, Center Area
East, Center Area
Objectives:
Mission: Defeat All Enemies
Failure: Defeat of any 08th MS Team member
Destruction of Big Tray class ship
Scenario:
Ethan Ryer, in a Big Tray class ship, is accompanied by Kojima in the area
Where Zeon forces are believed to be held up in the nearby mountain.
Meanwhile, Shiro and the others are in a city on a scouting mission for
any signs of Zeon activity when out of nowhere, Norris leaps out and
attacked one of the Guntanks with a MS-07B3 Gouf Custom mobile suit
by stabbing the Guntank's cockpit, killing its pilot.
Afterwards, teams of Zakus and DOMs appear out of nowhere to ambush
Shiro and other Earth Federation Army units stationed in the area,
leading to a trap.
Resolution:
The first part of this level can be very difficult if you don't try to
let Shiro or the Guntank pilots stay alive in order to survive.
First, deploy the non-scenario battleship near the MS Team, preferably
on the South or the West so as to use its beams to take out multiple
enemy mobile suits. Gather the allies together so as they can support
each other, making sure that Shiro does not get damaged.
Wait for the enemy mobile suits to come near, then use the ship's
beam attacks to kill them. Also, team moves will be needed to play
a role in defeating all the enemy mobile suits, especially Norris'
Gouf Custom. Be careful, he's on Level 3 and can dish out a lot of
damage if you're not careful. Team attacks and strong attack moves
are the key in defeating him.
Shiro disappears from the map and teleports to the mountain area,
where Ginias is on his Apsalus III with additional Zaku and DOM
reinforcements with 2 Dabude class ships. When your turn starts,
get Shiro to keep running away until he gets to Ryer's Big Tray
class (See! This is why Shiro has to be in perfect health when
it happens since enemies will try to damage him.). Let him evade
as much as possible until he gets near Ryer's party.
When the Dopps and Zakus approach Ryer's party, try to evade
and unload the GM Ground Type mobile suits from the Big
Tray class and fire its weapons at the incoming Zakus and
Dopps with Shiro backing them up.
After mopping up the enemies in the city area, slowly approach
the mountain area, but watch out for DOMs and Zakus that
appear out of nowhere to ambush you guys. Fight back and
use team moves or the ship's weapon systems to kill them off.
Link up with Ryer and if he needs help, assist in mopping up
the enemies near the base of the mountain before approaching
the mountain itself.
As you slowly come near the mountaintop, DOMs and Zakus will
descend and try to attack you. Be ready to counterattack and
move carefully when you're near the summit since the Apsalus
III can easily toast the GM Ground Type and Guntanks nearby.
Use attack moves that can drain the Apsalus III's health and
use them when you have the chance to get into team attack
formation. If you move in on the left side of the summit,
a squadron of Dopps will try to stop you. If you move to
the right, Nothing happens. It's up to you basically,
but I'd recommend going to the right side so as to prevent
any surprise attacks.
Movie Bonus:
If Shiro guns down the Apsalus III, a special cutscene
Appears with Shiro's Ez8 finishing off Ginias' Apsalus
III with assitance from Aina.
With Shiro gone (If you trigger the cutscene mentioned
Above), you'll all alone in mopping up the rest of
the enemies. Without Shiro's Ez8, tread carefully and
use the non-scenario characters in mopping up the
opposition.
All the members of the 08th MS Team will try to find
Shiro, but report him to be MIA.
In another part of the area, Shiro and Aina are happy
that their allegiance to their former leaders are
now over as the battle has finally ended without
their comrades seeing them as they prepare to start
a new life together.
Even if Shiro's (And Aina's) gone, mission's still
complete! Good work!
In finishing the scenario, you're able to unlock two
characters as mobile weapon pilots and several
mobile weapons, including the RX-79[G] Gundam Ground
Type mobile suit.
In addition, I've also been given some advice on
how to finish Stage 2 of the 08th MS Team Scenario.
NOTE: The following are edited in order to make
them clear and concise to the readers.
"I beat this stage using very cheap tactics. Spread
out your units at the beginning so that Shiro and
the Guntanks will not be attacked. Kill off ALL units
on the map unit the blue zaku is left. Finish off the
blue Zaku (Gouf Custom) and Shiro will be transported
to the new map. Have Shiro retreat right away and
hide behind the flying units. Slowly but surely
bring your ws (Warship) and main units up while
having Shiro and the plane units always on evade."

"Having a strong MS from another series might help.
Here's how I did it. I sent out my God Gundam and
had him destroy the 1st guy that sends Shiro to
the other place unharmed. From there, I just had the
planes and battleships and the other MSes wear down
the guys on the mountains until I got my mothership
w/ my MSes there, and then sent it along with Shiro
to finish the level off."

V. Battle Hints
Prologue:
- Nothing much. Everything's easy here. Just let Shiro
deal the damage to Aina from his RB-79K Ball unit.
Stage 1:
- Deploy on the southern portions, both in the forest
and river. That way, you won't get easily
overwhelmed.
- Use team moves to take out the big units (e.g.
ships, especially Apsalus models). You'll
dish out much damage that way.
- Protect the 08th MS Team members at all costs.
A single casualty from them means game over.
- If facing ground and air units in a battle,
prioritize the Dopps and Helis. They'll be a pack
of trouble if you don't get rid of them.
- When facing the Dabude class ships, try to use
strong single and team moves to heavily damage it.
That way, you won't need to face the threat of
its cargo. (In this case, the Helis)
- Later on, Masado appears in a Heli gunship.
Don't try to waste strong moves on him. Simple
techniques that can attack air units can easily
kill him if close.
- Norris appears here on Level 1. Don't take him
too lightly. He's too good for someone who's on
a basic level. Use team moves and the battleship's
weapon systems to take him out.
Stage 2:
- In the start of the game, move everyone in together
so as to support each other. But be on the lookout to
make sure not everyone is injured in an attack that may
take two mobile suits on. Make sure that Shiro's health
is in good shape.
- Use the Guntanks for team attack support. Use them only
if the enemy's life is low and if their health is good.
- Norris returns, this time in a Gouf custom. Defeating
him will make Shiro "appear" in the mountains. Be sure
to defeat the grunt Zakus before killing him.
- Move carefully. You literally don't want to be caught
by your pants when DOMs, Zakus and Dopps start to appear
out of nowhere while you're not prepared for action.
