Challenge Mode - Stage 5 - General Information |
|
Well, you guys are in for a treat! This is probably the easiest challenge (along with 1 and 3). It's a nice break after Challenge 4 which can be a difficult one! Here, HUcasts and HUmars are going to want to use a weak, strong, strong combo. This will instantly destroy Canadines and Gillchics (the HUmar won't be able to kill Gillchic this way right away but he will be able to eventually so it's the most effective way of doing things). FOs and RAs, it is your job to pay attention to Canadines when they warp in, most will come down with HU attack range but the few that stay in the air you must shoot/blast them down. Other than that though, this challenge is ridiculously easy, you should have no trouble beating this one on your first or second time though. Challenge Mode - Stage 5 - Non-TA Information |

Recommended Team: 1 FO, 2 HUs (one Cast and one Mar), and either a RA (or any class) or a HUcaseal. This is one of the only challenges where I will recommend using a Ranger. This reason, as I've already mentioned, is to shoot down Canadines. Estimated Completion Time: 27-32 minutes. Challenge Mode - Stage 5 - Area 20 (Non-TA) |
|
1) Kill everything and exit Southeast 2) Kill everything and send your Ranger or your designated box collector to the south to get boxes. Everybody else go Southeast. 3) OUuuu scary, a dark room! BS! Kill everything in the dark (if you're really scared, there's a switch in the north room that'll turn on the lights). Exit South. 4) Have on person stand on the switch (watch the Foie traps that come up and fire at you) and have one person run though and step on the other switch (that WAS enclosed by lasers). After that switch is stepped on, let the person run out of the fences and then get off the switch. Everybody exit South. 5) Kill everything, exit Southeast 6) Kill everything, exit East 7) Kill everything while circling around the backwards "C". Exit North. 8) Kill everything, and have your box collector and anyone who is weakened head north, everybody else head east. 9) Those who headed east will be fighting, those who went north will be in a room full of boxes, if you're weak, continue northward to a health ring (beware of Foie traps) and then all of you rejoin in the east room. Help the fighting and then exit Northeast. 10) Kill everything and exit Northeast. 11) Bring up your start menu, and proceed east and warp to Area 21. (whoever enters the centre of this room first will get 3 or 4 traps on their head, however, if you bring up your start menu, only one of them will hit before you warp) Challenge Mode - Stage 5 - Area 21 (Non-TA) |
|
Estimated Current Time: 4-6 minutes 1) Kill everything and exit North 2) In this room, there is a switch in the middle of the room. DON'T HIT IT YET! First get 3 people at the East door (currently locked). Then, the one, brave person, will merely touch the floor switch (to activate it). The second you run in range of the switch, about 6 Foie traps will pop up, behind the laser fence. Your party COULD shoot the switches but there's no need, if the person who is hitting the switch is nimble enough, they can hit the switch and everyone can exit East without a scratch. 3) Kill everything, exit Southeast. 4) This room is similar to the room in Area 20. When you stand on the floor switch, two laser fences disappear and 2 Barta traps come up. Have your team dispatch the traps while one person stays on the switch. Once you're in the clear, have someone cross the fences and press the switch, this makes the central fence disappear and allows everyone access (watch the new trap that pops up when you press the switch :p). Everyone exit East and warp to Area 22 Challenge Mode - Stage 5 - Area 22 (Non-TA) |
|
Estimated Current Time: 8-10 Minutes 1) Kill everything, exit Southeast. 2) Kill everything, exit South 3) Kill everything, exit West 4) Finally, some thinking instead of senseless violence :p Have ONE person run up the ramp. When you get up the ramp, make a left and run around the laser square (do this VERY quickly as Foie traps are shooting at you constantly). As you run around, you'll step on a floor switch (unlocking the South door). DO NOT stop, just keep running and run right down the ramp. Everybody exit South. 5) Another dark room, if you want lights, exit Northwest and hit the pink switch. Other than that, exit South when everything is dead. 6) Run through and exit East. 7) Kill everything and exit East. 8) Kill everything and exit Northeast. 9) When you enter this room, there are four computer panels, one of which acts as a switch to deactivate the laser fence. That one is the computer directly to the right of you when you enter (the South-western most one on the map). Hit it and exit Northeast. 10) Kill everything and exit East. 11) Kill everything, exit North, and warp to Area 23 Challenge Mode - Stage 5 - Area 23 (Non-TA) |
|
Estimated Current Time: 16-18 Minutes 1) Kill everything and exit North. 2) Kill everything and exit East. 3) Kill everything and exit Northeast. 4) Kill everything, exit Northeast, and take the left warp. 5) As soon as you warp in, turn around and go through the North wall, this takes you to the warp to Area 24. DO NOT PROCEED INTO THIS ROOM! ONLY GO THROUGH THE WALL TO WARP! Challenge Mode - Stage 5 - Area 24 (Non-TA) |
|
Estimated Current Time: 20-23 minutes 1) Kill everything, exit Southwest 2) Kill everything, send the box collector South and everyone else exit Southeast. 3) Circle around the "U" to exit Northeast (watch for traps and enemies). 4) Yet another dark room, you tend to grow weary of these...Anyway, hit the switch in the Northwest corner to turn on the lights. Other than that, kill everything and exit East. 5) Run past the Foie traps and exit South. 6) Kill everything and exit South. 7) Kill everything and exit East. 8) Exit North 9) Kill everything and exit East. 10) Kill everything and exit Southwest. 11) Run past the traps and exit East. 12) Kill everything and exit Southeast. See? I told you that was an easy challenge, you should've finished anywhere between 27-32 minutes. Onto TA Challenge Mode - Stage 5 - TA Information |
|
Recommended Team: 2 HUcasts, 2 FOnewearls Good TA Time: less than 21 minutes As you can see, despite C5 being an easy Challenge, I have never met what is considered to be a good TA time. This just goes to prove that I'm not the "C-Mode God" the people on the forums think of me to be :p. In any case, the most notable difference between TA and Non-TA on this Challenge is the team. You do not want a Ranger this time. FOs want to be fully aware of the Canadines as it is now their responsibility completely. HUcasts, drop both your dolls at the beginning of the challenge. This gives the FOs 4 dolls each to work with. You can work this a couple of ways. You could, use most of your fluids in Area 20 and 21 and then use one scape doll each area until the end. However the smarter thing to do would be to try and conserve, as best you can, your TP until the end of Area 21, then burn the rest of your fluids in Area 22 (where you should level up) and have the 4 dolls to use in Areas22-24 (actually probably more like 23-24). That's 2 dolls per area (and coming from two forces, that's a lot of destruction in a short time). Other than that, I don't believe there is much of a difference in the guides themselves, just do everything faster than before :p Challenge Mode - Stage 5 - Area 20 (TA) |
