I got Zoids Saga DS.

[Drk-X]

Tell me EXACTLY where you are and what has happened since you entered the Genesis world and I'll tell you from there.

[Shenny]

I entered the town, spoke to the townies and got the two new touch screen thingies. And now I don't know what to do.

[Drk-X]

Ah, Excavation Mode and Trap Mode. These two won't help a lot for a large part of the game. Well, before doing anything I suggest using Search Mode in the overworld to find yourself some strong opponents and beat the living crap out of them for experience.

When entering Tanta Village (which is not a real village in Genesis) you should have the Deck Command Sendou (Instigate Movement) After talking to everyone and getting information, Regina will ask you to leave the town to test out the Excavation Radar. Doing so will result in a boss fight:

BOSS BATTLE:

Front Row: Cannon Tortoise x3 (piloted by troops)
Back Row: Cannon Tortoise BC (piloted by Opis)

Winning results in 3500 G and 79 EXP.


Afterwards, head to the new area available and you'll have an event in which Ruuji joins you without a zoid, Mii will join with the Lancetag, and Ra Kan joins with the Sword Wolf. You'll have to look for Metal Zi ore. Along the way you'll also pick up Kotona Elegance in the Rainbow Jerk and Raimei no Galaga in the Deadly Kong.

Get some money, LOTS of it. Buy the Poison Gas Gun and the Pulse Laser Cannon. If you want to rush and don't want to save for those, I guess a 4 shot missile launcher will do. You WILL like the Poison Gas Gun though...saving 11000 G isn't too hard.

Afterwards you'll have to head to Yunto Cave (also doesn't exist in Genesis >.>) and face off against:

Back Row: Dark Poison x3 (bandits)
Front Row: Guysack x3(bandits)

Prize: 107 EXP, 5460 GP

Cannonfodder....blast our scorpion pals and Molga wannabes away. Your Genesis zoids will obliviate these six zoids.

Continue deeper into the cave and you'll fight:

Back Row: Gunsniper x3 (bandits...Gunsniper is supposed to be extinct in Genesis....>.>)
Front Row: Helcat x3 (bandits)

Prize: 103 GP, 5650 GP

As a result, you will win back the Murasame Liger for Ruuji and you'll head back to town. Back at town, you'll meet Ron Mangan and gain the Bambulian. Also, note that Murasame Liger and Sauro Knights are unison partners and form Murasame Knight Custom. Head to the nearby ruins

In here you can recieve a command I know nothing about...who cares....right now the only command you want is Prince's Wish for healing. Venture deep through the cave and you'll eventually find the Bio Megaraptor in the underground level.

BOSS:

Front Row: Bio Megaraptor (Zairin)

Prize: 250 EXP, 7000 G

Metal Zi weapons will deal higher damage. Meaning....Murasame Liger's Murasame Blade, Sword Wolf's Double Hack Swords, Rainbow Jerk's Feather Cutters, Lancetag's Thruster Lance, Deadly Kong's Hell's Box, and Bambulian's Seiyuu Sabers are the way to go.

Continue to the lower levels and you will fight Opis and the three Cannon Tortoise again except this time they have crazy defense. After defeating them two times in a row, Seijuurou will join your party with his Soul Tiger and you'll have to do the battle again but this time with the Soul Tiger on your team if you want.

This is the end of the first Genesis scenario. Sadly, Opis succeeds in obtaining both the Murasame Liger data and Bio Zoid data....and I wonder why Gail wants them. *coughBioLigercough*

[Shenny]

Thanks, I'm past that stage now. I'm at the one right after, first CC. It looks like it plays out the same as it did in Saga 1, so I won't need help on it. But what I don't get is why Rev Raptors are able to use their Pile Bankers from the back row! They totally killed my Sauro Knight!!

[Drk-X]

A tip for later:

After the non-secret Fuzors scenario, I HIGHLY recommend you get Atrei out of the Sauro Knights and into a Gojulas as he should be higher than level 13 at that point and should do VERY well in a Gojulas type.

In case anyone is curious:

Lv2: Blox specialty1
Lv3: Laser specialty1
Lv5: Counter specialty1
Lv6: Blox specialty2
Lv7: Genesis specialty1; Laser specialty2
Lv8: Tiger specialty1; Wolf specialty1
Lv10: Blox specialty3
Lv12: Laser specialty3
Lv13: Gojulas specialty1; Counter speciality2
Lv14: Liger specialty1; Wolf specialty2
Lv15: Tiger specialty2
Lv17: Geno specialty1; Liger specialty2
Lv18: Gojulas specialty2
Lv19: Laser specialty4
Lv20: Liger specialty3; Tiger specialty3; Counter specialty3
Lv21: Blox specialty4
Lv22: Geno specialty 2; Wolf specialty3
Lv23: Liger specialty4; Kong specialty1
Lv24: Gravity specialty1
Lv25: Kong specialty2; Genesis specialty2
Lv26: Gojulas specialty2, Liger specialty5
Lv27: Blox specialty5; Geno specialty3; Wolf specialty4; Gravity specialty2; Laser specialty 5
Lv28: Cyberdrive specialty1; Tiger specialty4
Lv29: Gojulas specialty3; Big Size specialty1; Genesis specialty3; Counter specialty4;
Lv30: Geno specialty4; Gravity specialty3
Lv31: Gojulas specialty4; Kong specialty3; Cyberdrive specialty2
Lv32: Wolf specialty5
Lv33: Geno specialty5; Gravity specialty4
Lv34: Big Size specialty2; Cyberdrive specialty3; Tiger specialty5; Genesis specialty4
Lv35: Kong specialty4
Lv36: Gravity specialty5
Lv37: Kong specialty5; Cyberdrive specialty4
Lv38: Genesis specialty5
Lv39: Big Size specialty3
Lv40: Cyberdrive specialty5
Lv41: Big Size specialty4

Eventually all of the things Atrei can have a level up bonus in reach either 4 or 5 but Ligers will be the first to hit 5, indicating that Trinity Liger would be the wisest choice for Atrei.

Not to mention you're forced to use it for a large part of the final scenario after meeting *coughroseandherdragonligercough*

[Zzgashi]

on challenge 2-3 (the one as the lance stag) i keep dying only two commands work to stop the pteras' from attack (first or not at all) i use the air mine thing first but i dont know what to do on the second turn.

Om also im having some problems with getting to the next scenario after genesis

Edit: i beat Challenge 2-3 and 2-4 i'll probally have 2-5 figured out soon

[Drk-X]

By that I'm assuming you can't beat the Command Wolves that block the time warp to the Classic period???

If you read the last part, I specifically said to get both the Pulse Laser Gun and the Poison Gas Gun....

[Zzgashi]

i got em even if it took only about... 40 turns

[Shenny]

Yeah, that Command Wolf US is tough.

[Shenny]

I'm realizing that even the scenarios from the original Saga have been changed. The first CC thing ended after you rescued Fiona from Raven in the other game. Now I'm in a new and confusing dungeon.

I like Excavation mode. I'm finding a lot of Limited and Normal OSes and Zi data for Zoids that don't exist in CC, like Arosaurer and Gorhecks.

[Drk-X]

People keep whining about Bit's scenario being harder than before so I'll give a few tips:

Against the Flugel team, use a unison zoid. You'll have one less zoid as it will be 2v3 but it's well worth it. Lord Gale or Double Arms Lizard will do the job.

For the Ultrasaurus, there's a strategy on Soren's Zoids Saga I guide on GameFAQs that will help a great deal.

Also, for the fights against Team Blood, round one is 1v1 against Fran's Redler BC with only Arth. Round two is against Gail's Gojulas Gunner with only Jack. Round three is against Opis' Missile Tortoise with only Regina. Those three may be tough. The fourth round against Team Blood however, is ridiculously easy.

[Shenny]

I don't remember fighting the Ultrasaurus in Saga 1...


And what exactly is the deal between Regina and Opis anyway?

[Drk-X]

The Ultrasaurus is in the far east. You can battle it for ridiculously high amounts of EXP so I advise you do so. And it was in Saga I, check Soren's guide.

Regina and Opis are both smart and they argue about who is smarter and crap. It's like Star Wars geeks arguing at conventions about who knows more. Besides, Opis obviously knows more....he managed to steal Deathstringer, Bio Megaraptor, Bio Volcano, AND he makes Gail's Bio Liger..... what the hell did Regina do???

[Shenny]

Oh, I see what you mean. I thought you meant it was a part of the storyline. You mean battling it as a wild Zoid to get cores and Zi data and stuff.

dxf said:

what the hell did Regina do???

Uh, well, uhhhhh she's a descendant of ancient Zoidians?

Edit: Just started the first NC0 scenario. LOL'd when the Gustav jumped in the air. I guess there won't be anymore Fuzors scenes since they went back in time with Atory in them, huh?

[Drk-X]

Actually, there's the extra scenario in the end.
