General Tips
------------

1) The satellite beam is NOT the best weapon in the game. Use boomerangs or
the wings instead.

2) Whenever you knock down a boss, that's a good time to take his/her $$$.

3) Don't know if this is a glitch or not, but you can block bullets with your
back. If there is a bullet coming your way and your back is facing it, press
the reflect button right when it's about to hit you and it will be deflected.
Make sure you're facing the same color as the bullet. I refer to this as the
reverse color block(don't ask).

4) Don't ever use the X button.

5) Here's a cheap(money-wise) way to get back your spirit if you're low on it:
Carry around a lv1 weapon. Then when you're low on spirit, turn around to the
same color as the boss, change your weapon to lv1 and let him/her beat the
crud out of you so that you'll have 0 spirit. The lv1 weapon should disappear
and your spirit should be full.

6) Don't forget that you can jump after you slide. It's a very useful tech-
nique because your recovery time will be much faster.

Boss1...Gregory

I don't think anyone has problems with this boss. Just block his breath, hair,
and tongue on the blue side. If you're on the red side, use any weapon you
want. I use the boomerangs. Stay in the air because most of his attacks are
ground-based.

Boss2...Morsay

Whenever he makes a portal to bring out the mirages, kill them or run away. If
you see him about to make a slinky, run to the nearest side so that you'll be
vertical and jump over it. Don't bother blocking it. If he either summons the
rocks or summons the ship, then run up ALL the way up the wall and hold down
the reflector button to slowly descend.

Area 2 : Raqia

*****Note : Use Zero Teleport on motorcyclers****

Boss3...Parekes/Parcelsus

He usually uses his sword in the beginning so hold down the reflect button
when the battle starts and you'll automatically block his attack. It's funny
to punch him around and cause a lot of noise, but that's also bad news for
you because the people in the houses usually throw their crap at YOU. Most of
the time he'll run at you so stay in the air and shoot at him with whatever.
If you hear him say a bunch of crap and then charge up, jump up and hold down
the reflector button.

Boss4...Zophar MT/SP aka Transvestknight

I usually block the bullets when it's in SandalPhon mode. If you are on the
blue side and she's about to shoot her normal shots at you, then jump away
from your current location. If she's using the homing shot and you're on the
blue side, you can either jump over it and hope it doesn't come back at you
or use the reverse color reflect trick. Remember that if you knock him/her
down with a weapon, it'll change forms(usually stuff like the boomerangs or
wings). In MetaTron mode, you'll be doing a lot of running and sliding. If
he's coming you're way, slide under him.

Boss5...Goliath

Use the boomerangs and stay on the opposite level as him. If you try to get
some $$$, be careful because he'll usually throw you when you're not
successful. If that's the case start mashing the A button and press directions
like crazy.  When he jumps back on the van, press down twice to crawl and
whenever he throws a henchman at you, use your zero teleport to dash in a safe
direction.

Boss6...Big Revolver

Make sure your boomerang is at lv2. Now when the bullets start coming in,
stand to the left of the stairs and start shooting your boomerangs. All the
blue bullets should be gone. Then go to the left, jump and reflect all the
red bullets. Easy.

Boss7...Dynamis06

I think the boomerangs are the best for this boss. Just run around and throw
them. If you here her say "ikuwaiyo" or something like that, run away then
turn around and shoot the arms. If an arm is destroyed when it's holding onto
the ground, the main piece will not die and still shoot at you. When Dynamis
disappears from your sight, check the reflections on the building to see where
she is and run and double jump over her.

Boss8...Powell

This boss is pretty fast; running around and sliding might not work. Block any
fireballs he shoots at you. Use any weapon that knocks him down. There's
nothing you can really do when he's jumping around and clawing you. You can
block, but you'll end up losing some spirit. If you're low on spirit or
energy, grab him and keep throwing him down. That means you hold down the down
button and keep mashing the A button. When the backdrop is all the way down,
stop. Now, WAIT! Don't attack him or else he'll be mad and won't give you a
power-up. If you kill him in his weak form, you'll get some pretty funny
dialogue after the battle if you understand japanese. Ok, it's not that funny.

Boss9...Marakim05

Buy Gluttony(satellite laser). Whatever color you shoot at the smiley, the
chameleon will be that color. Don't TRY to reflect the fireballs. If you're
on the opposite colored side as the fireball, just shoot it and it'll
disappear quickly. Dodge the spikes it shoots out. Don't be surprised if you
lose track of his position. If he disappears, you have to shoot the smiley for
him to re-appear.

Boss10...Zophar MT/SP

Basically the same as the first encounter except this time the MT form has a
new drill attack which you either block or jump over and the SP form will
shoot more lock-ons.

Area 4 : Machonom

Boss11...Samson

Pretty simple, but dull. Just stand near the middle and jump around and shoot.
Actually, start jumping when one of his hands flashes. When you're in the air
and another and flashes, Samson will probably shoot a fireball at you. Just
turn around and reflect it. If the fireball hits the ground, float in the air
by holding down the reflect button.

Boss12...Faust

Another easy one. As long as you have a weapon that can knock someone down,
it'll be easy. Too easy in fact. Whenever he runs over to a certain side, you
have to run over there too and shoot at him before he attacks. He'll be
knocked down and you can go gung-ho, steal his money, and then do the same
thing again.

Boss13...Sarah

After you destroy the cardboard cut-out, you'll find a little funny looking
thingy. If you want to gamble, shoot on your red side and she'll add the
amount that you want to gamble and start the slot machine. If at any time you
get the skulls, go to the left and block red. Whenever she shoots out those
little balls, walk up to them and reflect them to make them green. That way
Sarah will trip on them if she ever walks across one.

Boss14..Derira

Prepare your satellite laser. Go over to the right side. Aim over to the left
and hold down the attack button. You should be killing all the vegetables. If
a silhouette comes over, grab him and punch him into the soup. For someone
above you, jump once, grab and while you're falling, punch him in. When the
boss has full spirit, then you're screwed. Can't help you there.

Area 5 : Mathey
--`-,-(@

Boss15...Spider

Block all green shots. Let him shoot the little web grappler thing at you and
then mash the directions and the A button to get out and reflect the shot
coming at you. Or you can just tap the direction you're facing and the A
button instead which is a little slower, but safer. You can block the blue/red
webs, but it probably won't help much.

Boss16...Crazy bug man/yona putai

Just reflect everything. His time bombs, grenades, and guns.

Boss17...Megid

I use the reverse color reflect trick a lot here because it's easy and you
can easily tell when he'll use his ground shock(when he says "aisamu".) If he
jumps up, expect him to either fly down at you or throw buzzsaws at you. If
he flies down at you, run away and double jump up and reflect blue. If he's
going to throw crap at you, go to the side he's on and then run in the
opposite direction when he starts throwing them. Now, after either one of
those, he'll ALWAYS jump down and throw roses at you. You can either go
directly under him and shoot him or try to block them. If you want, you can
punch him off the ball anytime during the fight and shoot him when he comes
back, but that's boring and cheap.

@>`---,--'
Area 6 & 7 : Zebul & Araboth
--`-,-(@

Boss18...Garugarin

Make this boss eat the opposite color. So basically if he's red, kill the reds
so that he'll eat blue. When he eats four of them, he'll digest them and
change color. Repeat it.

Boss19...Zophar MT/SP

Hopefully you bought the wings because that's the only weapon that won't
reflect off the metal thingies. The SP form now has the reflector laser and
the MT form has absolutely nothing new. Use the normal tactics when the metal
things are not there and use your wings when they are. My best time was around
40 seconds. Even I can't believe it since my lv6 weapons took 30 seconds to
beat him.

If you beat him before the timer hits 0, you fight Sephar ha Zophar. Don't,
and you'll fight Butterfly, the dullest boss in the game.

Boss20.1...Sephar ha Zophar MT/SP

SP Mode : You shouldn't have any problems except when both his guns are firing
at the same time. I just run, slide, and stay on my red side if I want to lose
spirit. If you sacrifice spirit, be sure you're sacrificing a weak weapon.

MT Mode : Stay vertically parallel with him and when he screams out something,
jump. Stay near his chest and keep jumping. If his attack is finished, drop
back down and do it again. Sometimes he'll fake a slash so don't waste your
jumps. When he does his double sword projectile attack, go to the side and
block blue, but remember to come back to the middle and jump or else you'll
get sliced into pieces.

Boss20.2...Butterfly

Don't let her eat the larvae or else she'll heal. That's all.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
You'll be given two choices. The first will bring you to ed and the 2nd will
bring you to berserk Megid.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boss21.1...Ed, Megid, & Harl

I have no idea.

Boss21.2...Berserk Megid

Refer to the first encounter with Megid for the first half of the battle. When
he goes berserk, you'll only be able to hit him when he's attacking or when
he falls off the battlefield and flies back up towards you. If you're attack-
ing him while he's flying back up, be sure to block if you shoot a lot of
boomerangs at him. Try punching him off the circle if you want to make it
easy, but long. If he shoots the buzzsaw at you, block at and attack him if
it's possible. Personally I block all his stuff and punch him off the battle-
field. Beat him and you'll get the ending where the world is populated by
Silhouettes & Mirages.
