Welcome to my short Boss FAQ/Guide, and also my very first FAQ or Walkthrough ever! I decided to make my own Boss FAQ for Sonic Rush Adventure, cause there´s no Boss FAQ for this game yet. Well, just let's get started with it, I'm not so good in writing beginnings, so let's just go on! And please remember that this is my first FAQ I ever created and that I play this game on my PC, what means that the game is slower than on the DS (actually just the bosses are WAY too slow on my PC, everything else runs at normal speed), so the ATTACK descriptions could be a little off. Oh yeah, and if you read some numbers in the How to beat it sections, that means the number of the attack. Oh, and also please excuse me if my english isn't that good, I'm german. If you want to go quickly to a certain section, press ctrl + F and type in the letters standing in the brackets and press ENTER twice. If you want to go quickly to a certain boss, press ctrl + F and type in the number of the boss twice, for example you wanna see boss three, press ctrl + F and type in 33, then press ENTER. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ Table of contents: 1.)

You fight him on a simple, long, horizontal platform surrounded by grass and later in a cave. ATTACK 1: He follows you and will stay if he's in front of you. Then he will bite towards you and lay on the floor for a few seconds if he didn´t hit you. Just charge you spin attack until he's gonna bite you and then roll away or simply run away. ATTACK 2: He jumps towards one end of the platform and starts running toward your direction. Can simply be avoided by jumping on him multiple times. ATTACK 3: He just does this when you're underground. He stretches his very long neck out and smashes it down the floor. Actually the same as the first one, but it's and harder to avoid and he moves his head a bit when it's on the floor. Avoid it like the first attack. How to beat it: Every time his head's on the platform, after he bit or smashed his head, you can jump on it. Just always wait until he attacks, then avoid and then jump on his head. When he lost half of his life, he stomps the ground and you both fall underground. In there, he just gets his third attack, nothing more. My strategy: I always charge my spin attack and wait for him to attack, and then bump him. And when he does his running attack, I just jump on his head 'til he jumps away. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 222 Machine Labyrinth 22 22 22 GHOST PENDULUM 22 22 22 -Difficulty- 2 22222 Looks like, hmmmmm, what is that? It's a green robot with 1 - 3 balls hanging down. You fight it on an round platform, something like a tower. ATTACK 1: One or more balls get spikes on them for a short time, so don't jump on them when they do. They'll also glow red when they have spikes, while they glow blue when they're safe. The balls will just hit you if you are in mid-air. ATTACK 2: It smashes it's bottom part into the ground, creating a shockwave which you have to jump over. Be careful when jumping over it, cause you could hit a ball and it will bounce you right back into the shockwave! Before it does this, the screen will become dark. ATTACK 3: It releases a little robot from its bottom which drives around the platform slowly. Can be destroyed anytime with every attack. How to beat it: IMO, this is one of the funniest boss fights in the game. It moves its balls slowly around the area. You must jump on them until one of them hits his head. Of course it's easier to hit the head with the little ball (blue) but this just hurts him very weakly. In the beginning, there's just this ball, but if you hit it three times, a "plane" will get the medium ball (yellow) and stick it onto him. If you hit him with this one, it takes away double as much as the blue one. Then, when you take away about 2 fifth of its life, it will get the big ball (red), which hurts twice as much as the yellow and four times as much as the blue one (I think). It's possible to hit the head with only jumping on the ball once, but not with the red one. To get them up the highest, run in the opposite direction of the way the ball moves (for example: the yellow one moves clockwise, so you run anti- clockwise) and hit it at its bottom. For the red one do the same thing, but when it comes back hit it again at its bottom, so it will probably hit the head after 2 jumps. My strategy: I just run around the stage and hit the balls on the bottom, so I almost always hit it. When the bigger balls appear I jump first on the bigger ones and then the smaller ones. When the red ball's there, I always jump on this one first, so when the red ball's in mid-air, I can still hit the other ones but I quickly have to return to the red one before it's once again on its normal position (I hope you know what I mean^^). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 333 Coral Cave 33 33 33 GHOST KRAKEN 33 33 33 33 -Difficulty- 3 333 IMO, it looks like a purple balloon with eyes and a mouth and 6 tentacles (I'll call them arms). You fight it on a ring-like platform, either on or under the water. OVER THE WATER: ATTACK 1.1: It holds 2 or 4 of his arms straight up and will follow you with them, after about 5 seconds it will smash you with one of them. After it smashed one or more, you can jump on them so that it retracts them (works on every attack). ATTACK 2.1: It holds two arms out and moves them towards each other. Jump on or over them to avoid being grabbed. ATTACK 3.1: It stretches 4 arms out like an X and rotates them around. Jump on or over them to avoid. ATTACK 4.1: It spits three ink shots out and shortly after it smashes three arms on the spots where the shots hit the floor. Just run around the kraken to avoid this and be careful not to stay where it spit the three shots. If you get hit by one of the ink shots, I think you can't free yourself anymore until you get hit. ATTACK 5.1: Pulls you and the whole platform under water with two of his arms. ATTACK 6.1: It spits an ink shot towards the screen, making it harder to see the arms. Then it does the same thing like 3.1 but without rotating them. Jump on the "crystal arm" to defeat it.But do this fast because if it takes you too much time, it will retract all the arms and recover a part of its health! Just does this when all its life is gone. UNDER THE WATER: (The two arms which it pulled you underwater with are now like barrers and reduce your runing area but don't hurt you) ATTACK 1.2: The same one as 1.1. ATTACK 2.2: Sweeps with one arm over the floor, either from right to left or from left to right. Then with the second, then the third and then the "crystal arm", but all from the same place. ATTACK 3.2: It spits a lot of ink into the water making the screen dark. Makes it harder to detect its attacks. Can't be avoided. ATTACK 4.2: Pulls you and the platform over the water. How to beat it: So, this thing has many attacks, but all in all they're easy to avoid by just running and jumping. To hurt it, jump on the "crystal arm" after it attacked or even while it's attacking. One thing I didn't mention yet is its color changing, cause I don't know what's different when he changes its color. A good tip to run very fast is to fully charge the spin attack and roll around and immediately after you let go off the button, jump and hold the direction you're jumping, and when you land you'll run around like you'd use your boost. This makes it easy to avoid his 3 ink shots, but it just works on bosses. My strategy: I always run around using that trick in the section above this one and wait for him to attack. I also jump on the arms so I have more area to run. When it makes the screen dark, I stay in the middle of the two arms and look if it does 1.2 or 2.2, when it does 1.2 I just run left and right and when it sweeps with his arms I just bounce from one onto the next one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 44 Haunted Ship 444 4 44 GHOST PIRATE 444444 44 44 -Difficulty- 3 A skull-pirate with green clothes and a sword. His belly contains an orb, his weakpoint. You fight him on a half sunken ship, with two lamps or whatever hanging down on the right and left side, which throw you to the upper area of the ship if you touch one of them. ATTACK 1: He shoots 2 or 3 fireballs at you. Either jump over them or run away and get to the oppsite area. ATTACK 2: He leans back and then spits fire into the ground, which makes an beam of fire come straight up. Just get away from him to avoid taking damage. ATTACK 3: He slices high with his sword and then kicks low with his foot, and if he just has less than half of his life, he'll also jump a bit and then slice again with his sword. The first slice is avoided by not being in mid-air, the kick is avoided by jumping over it or/and run away. The second slice covers the upper and lower area in front of him, so just run away or change the site (if you're on the upper part, get down or vice versa) or run under him when he does the little jump before this attack. ATTACK 4: He'll jump up very high and stomp on either the right or the left side. If he stomps on the right side of the ship, it will get up on the left side and vice versa. Just make sure you're not over him if he jumps up, and after he did so, get to the middle because you can't tell if he's gonna get down right or left. If you're in the upper area when he hits the ground, you'll fall down. How to beat him: His weakpoint is the orb, which is inside his belly at first. If you jump/attack his feet, it won't hurt him, so jump on his head or his belly. Now the orb will fly to the middle of the upper area. If you now attack him, without his orb, you won't cause damage but if you hit him multiple times, he may corrupt and lay on the floor and he can't attack for a few seconds. But if you wanna beat him quick, don't do this. To deal damage, just attack the orb. After you hit the orb about six- times, it will return into the pirate.If you're far away from him, he'll fly towards you, you can recognize this when he looks like a "ball". Get away from where you are if he does so. After you've taken him away his whole life, the orb will start to fly around like crazy, try to hit it and you're done. My strategy: When the fight begins I immediately jump on his belly and then catapult myself up. Then I attack the orb a few times and when the pirate jumps or flies up, I still attack the orb but also avoid his attacks. Now the orb will return into the pirate so I start attacking him again. He mostly does 4 after this, so I let myself drop down and attack him down there. And so it goes on until he dies^^. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 55555 Blizzard Peaks 55 5555 GHOST WHALE 55 5555 -Difficulty- 2 Looks like a giant purple whale, which doesn't use his size and weight at all. It may look dangerous, but it isn't. You fight it on an ice plaice, which gets smaller everytime you hit it. ATTACK 1: It swims far away from you and then towards you and crushes a small part of the plaice. Just don't be on the very right side and you'll stay safe. But if he does this too often, the whole plaice will be destroyed and you die. ATTACK 2: Some fishes will jump on the plaice. Just kill those by jumping on them. How to beat it: There isn't much to explain when you fight him outside, just that you have to jump on its red "nose" after 1, so I'm gonna explain the three different ways inside of him. There are a few objects inside him: - a blue box which returns your remaining time to 30 seconds - icicles which fall down and hurt you when you touch them - missile launchers which look like holes, they shoot out missiles which you can jump on - fishes, the same as the ones outside - electricity, the same thing as the spikes, don't fall into it :::::::::::::1: Run to the right and you'll fall down a hole. Now there comes a box and some icicles, hit it and run on. Now avoid the missiles and run, past the next icicles and jump op the ledge. Now there's electricity and some fishes. Kill them with your spin attack and jump over the next electricity. Now you can see an unreachable box on the ceiling. If you need it, jump on the next missile and then destroy the box. Now jump again on a missile and up the ledge, and run and there is the first of three "hearts". Attack it and you'll get spit outside. If you destroy all of them, the whale is dead. :::::::::::::2: Run and you'll fall down a long pit, but earlier than last time. Now there are some electricitys and icicles between them, so don't jump too far. Jump on the missile and up the ledge, then there comes a neat way and a box above it. Destroy it and go on, down the little niche, because there will come a missile in your way. Wait for it to pass you or and go on and jump over the launcher, there you are at the next heart! :::::::::::::3: Now you're not gonna fall down a pit, you go up some ledges with one fish and a box on them, wait for the fish to get away from the edge and jump up. Now you've gotta be careful, jump up the platforms quick because the take some time to fal down but watch out not to fall down, cause some of your time will be lost. If you made it, you'll be inside a long room with some fishes and an electricity in the end, and behind it a box. Jump on it and on the ledge, there will be some other platforms but now you gotta jump on missiles to reach the next ones. Don't jump too fast cause you'll probably slip down of the platforms or the missiles. After this, there's already the last heart! Damage it and you'll get spit out again. Just jump one more time on its nose and it'll blow up! I bet you could have done this boss without my help, though. My starategy: Same as the above one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 66 Sky Babylon 66 66 GHOST CONDOR 6666 66 66 666 -Difficulty- 2 For me, this looks like a green lizard without any feet, not like a condor at all. You fight it on an infinite walkway, or on its two hovering platforms surrounding it. ATTACK 1: It shoots some red bombs out of its tail, which come to your direction. Jump over them or avoid them by going right or left. If it shoots green robots on the way, jump on them, don't run into them! They will bounce you up to the boss. ATTACK 2: Releases one of his platforms and it will fly to the right or left side of the lower screen. It will either be at the same height than you or above you. If it's above you, don't jump, if it's at your height, jump over it when it flies to the other side of the screen. ATTACK 3: Releases one of his platforms and it will fly to the upper side of the lower screen. Then it will follow (if you go right, it also goes right, if you don't move, it also doesn't move and vice versa). After some time, it will rush down the screen, so just move left and right to avoid it. ATTACK 4: If you're on the upper screen, it will shoot a missile at you which slightly follows you. Just jump over it. ATTACK 5: When it lost half of its life, it will sometimes come to the lower screen and rush towards your direction. Stay on the very right or left side to avoid it. How to beat it: Jump on one of the green robots so that they bounce you up to the condor. Try to first land on one of the platforms, because you can hit it more often when you hit its red crystal on the top. You'll notice that, after you hit it, you can barely move to its direction, right? So just press R-button to do a mid-air action on it. Do this as often as you can, and you probably take down a third of his health when you do it multiple times. And if you recognize that you don't hit it, try to land on one of the platforms and do it again. After its health has run out, it will sink to the ground, just jump on it when it's almost on the ground. My strategy: Check the section above. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7777777 Pirates' Island 77 77 CAPTAIN WHISKER & JOHNNY 77 77 77 -Difficulty- 3 This is the most fun boss fight in the game, IMO. Whisker is the fat pirate captain you met several times before this fight, you know how he looks like^^. Johnny is Sonic's Rival, you have to race 7-times against him to win all the Chaos Emeralds. He looks like a green Waveracer. This fight area somehow reminds me of Super Smash Bros. There are three middle platforms plus the ground, and six little platforms (3 on each side). :::::W = Attack from Whisker; J = Attack from Johnny::::: ATTACK 1.W: He shoots one or both of his hands at you, pretty hard to dodge cause they're so fast and not destroyable and if you jump over them, they might fly in an upwards curve and hit you. ATTACK 2.W: He leans back a moment and then uses a fire breath, either a big flame, or a long, little one. Change the platform to avoid it easily. You can also jump over him when he does it. ATTACK 3.W: He jumps up and does a ground-stomp, which will cause an shockwave. Jump over it and don't be under him, of course^^. NOTE: He's invincible during this attack. ATTACk 1.J: He says "I don't think so!" or "Check this out!" and then dashes toward you. Just jump to avoid this, because even if he hits you while you're jumping, you'll get no damage. ATTACK 1.W+J: Whisker grabs Johnny and throws him to your direction, and Johnny will bounce off the walls. Try to jump over this, it's pretty fast. ATTACK 1: This one hasn't got an W or J, because no one of them does this. When they lost one third of their life, a saw will constantly drive across the long platforms, but just always one at a time. When they lose two thirds of their life, there can be two saws at a time. The saws don't fall off the platforms or jump, they just drive quickly from one side to the other one. You'll get hit pretty often by the saws, I bet. The best way to avoid them is to stay on the little platforms on the sides. How to beat them: They haven't got an weakspots, they can always be hit. Except when Whisker does 3.W or Johnny does 1.J or they do 1.W+J, then they're invincible during that attack. Whisker can also defend himself sometimes, but just sometimes. Without the saws, they're pretty easy, just jump on them all the time and avoid their attacks. But when the saws appear, jump on a platform where there's none of them. Also you'll be likely to defeat Johnny before Whisker, because he's all the time near you and he's got less health then Whisker. My strategy: In the beginning, I just bumpthem all the time, one time Johnny, then Whisker, then Johnny, then Whisker and so on and so on. When the saws appear, I jump on an higher platform and repeat the bumping. And while Whisker stomps, I take on Johnny. Well, it's pretty much just about not letting them attack, always jump on them when they're just about to attack, except when they do their combo-attack. Pretty easy after some time but at first, pretty hard. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 888 Big Swell (right after the fight against Whisker & Johnny) 88 88 88 88 GHOST TITAN 888 88 88 88 88 -Difficulty- 4-5 888 This is the hardest boss in the game, it's a giant robot with two arms, no feet and grenade-launchers on his shoulders. He also has plenty of attacks and a machine-gun on his belly. You fight him on a battleship from Whisker, which has two shielded turrets on each side. IN THE AIR: ATTACK 1.1: Shoots some rockets into the sky which fly down, some of them will stay still and some will just crash into the floor. The ones standing can either fly around in wave-motions or they focus on you and will rush towards you after some time. They can be attacked anytime, the way they fly away depends from the point where you hit them, this counts for the green ones. When you hitthe red ones, they'll immediately fly on on the titan's head. ATTACK 2.1: He leans his arms back and focuses you, and after about three seconds, he will fire grenades at you. He either Shoots one time two grenades at once, what creates a bigger explosion; or it shoots three or two times just one grenade, what creates a smaller explosion (but still big^^). Avoid it by charging your spin attack and when you hear some bleeping, dash away! Repeat one or two times. ATTACK 3.1: He releases one or both of his grenade-launchers and they will hover on the upper screen, aiming down. Just don't stay under them. ATTACK 4.1: He fires one or both of his arms, which will dash to you. You can see where they'll fly when they're still far away. ATTACK 5.1: He'll fly towards your direction and land in front of you on the ship. ON THE SHIP: ATTACK 1.2: He charges his punch, and punches 1-3 times at you or five-times, starting from the middle and slowly towards you. If he does the first variant, he will focus you, so, once again, charge your spin attack and dash when it's about to punch, he moves a little bit before he does. If he does the second variant, go as far to side as you can (not touching the turret's shields) and charge your spin attack, when he punched the third time, immediately dash to the other side! This attack is the hardest to avoid. ATTACK 2.2: The camera goes behind you and you can just see the titan's machine gun... RUN, if he focuses on you! If not, then he's going to shoot from side to side. When he does so, jump over the little explosions. ATTACK 3.2: The same as 3.1. ATTACK 4.2: He will fly to the upper screen. ATTACK 1: This attack just comes when one or both turrets are unshielded. The cannon of one or both turrets will constantly shoot from near to far away (for example: when the left one's unshielded, the shots will go from left to right). Jump over the explosions or jump on one of the turrets to avoid it, but the turret(-s) won't stop shooting unless you destroy its cannon. Before it shoots, it lowers the cannon a bit, so watch out. How to beat it: So, this one needs a long time to defeat. First, you need to take out the shield from the turret. To do so, use his own attacks! For example when he does 1.1, kick those rockets right into the shields or let them fly into it when they stay still and target you. But for the most other attacks of it, just stay next to the turret. After the shield is down, destroy the cannon, always jump when you see it's lowering. The first time you just have to attack the cannon once but the more life the titan loses, the more you have to hit the cannon. So, after you destroyed the cannon, jump into the hole on top of the turret. Now you need a little skill, because you have to press A when the second target is exactly or almost over the first one. If you did it right, you'll be shot towards his head and you have the chance to bounce it 5-times. A good way to do this is to press R when it looks like you won't hit him. If you pressed A too late or too early, you'll still be shot towards his head but you'll get punched away immediately. After he lost all of his life, you have to be shot to his head one more time, then it'll look like he's gonna explode, but he'll just sink down and start FIRIN' HIS LAZEEEERS. One to each side, slowly coming towards the middle of the ship. Just wait for the titan to sink so you can give him the last jump. My strategy: I stand all the time next to one cannon and watch him, so I can detect which attack he's gonna use. If he uses 1.1, I try to hit the red rocket first and slam the green ones into the shields. Then I once again hide myself near one turret watching him. If he uses 2.1 or 4.1, I wait for him to attack, and then spin away. Oh yeah, the grenades do the most damage to the shields, I guess. Now when the shield's away, I jump onto the turret and wait for it to attack. After it shot once, I jump on the cannon and jump when it lowers its cannon. After it's destroyed, I jump into the hole and press A a little before the target's on the right spot. Then I try to hit the head 5-times using the R button. After some time, the turrets can take about 6 jumps of you. On HARD, the cannons can take 6 jumps already in the beginning. When his health is gone down, finally, I repeat my watch - avoid method and jump into turret one more time, shoot myself towards him and he'll start firin' his lasers. I stay right under his head and when the lasers almost are about to hit me, I jump and kill that thing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 999 9 Deep Core 99 999 99999 EGG MAGICIAN (not sure about the name) 99 (Dr. Eggman + Eggman Nega) 99 99 99 -Difficulty- 3-4 9999 A big blue robot with a tail and two arms, holding the wand. You fight it flying, inside a volcano and with an upscrolling screen. ATTACK 1: He spins around a bit and releases three dragon-like fire beams which chase you. Shoot them three times with Blaze or reflect them with Sonic. ATTACK 2: He shoots some energy balls to your direction. The blue ones are faster than the green ones. Simply avoid them by moving or reflect them. ATTACK 3: A blue circle appears around you. After some time it becomes red and he will shoot a comet towards the circle. Stay on one side of the screen and after he fired the comet, change to the other side because when the comet's inside the circle, a huge explosion will appear. ATTACK 4: He gains this attack in the second phrase. He sticks the wand inside the ground and move it from side to side, causing erruptions to shoot up. Don't try to dash between the erruptions, it's not possible to get through them, stay on one side of the screen. ATTACK 5: Also gains this in the second phrase. Shoots 6 electric balls on the upper side of the lower screen, which will dash at you after three seconds. If they hit you, you'll be stunned until you get hit from something. Dash aside when they rush at you. I'm not sure if these can be reflected. ATTACK 6: Gains this one in the third phrase. Shoots 8 rockets in front oh him, which will then fly downwards. The ones with the yellow spikes on them can't be reflected and need three shots to explode, the ones without spikes just take two shots. Either destroy them or reflect them. How to beat him: In the beginning, try to collect all the rings as the boss isn't here yet. If you want to, destroy the rocks in your way. When he shows up, fire all the time at him with Blaze and when he attacks, switch to Sonic using the R button and reflect the shots (1, 2, maybe 5 and 6). Just use Blaze the most of the time and always collect rings, as they decrease every second, like in most of the older Sonic games. If you get hit, you won't lose any rings but you lose time to collect them. After he lost almost all of his life, he'll recharge 2 thirds of it and the second phrase begins. Now he'll mostly use 4 in the beginning. The only thing you have to worry about are the electric balls, they'll stun you as long as you get hit, what can take long if he uses 3 directly after this. After the life has gone down once again, he'll again recharge his life but now just 1 third. The third phrase can be annoying as he will use 6 often, when he does so, reflect the rockets directly under him, except they have spikes on them. All in all, you have to use Blaze the most of the time as most of his attacks can be easily avoided and destroyed. My strategy: I mostly use Blaze to hurt him fast and I just switch to Sonic when he does 1 and 6. It didn't take me long to defeat him. NOTE: You need all the Chaos and Sol Emeralds to fight EGG MAGICIAN. The Chaos Emeralds can be achieved when you win a race against Johnny, who can be found on several places on the sea. Just drive to those little blue points on the map. The Sol Emeralds can be achieved when you do certain missions, first make sure you explored every island (16 in total). After you got all of them, go inside the house on Southern Island and a cutscene will show up. And after you've beaten him and want to fight him again go to the volcano on Southern Island. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ SPENO Special Notes: Differences between Sonic and Blaze: - Sonic is faster than Blaze but harder harder to control in air - Sonic's up + R attack in mid-air is about half as long as from Blaze - Sonic's side + R attack in mid-air damages enemies, Blaze's goes farther and is faster but doesn't damage enemies - Sonic's R action after jumping normally is a chase attack which attacks nearby enemies, Blaze's action is a hovering move What's different in Boss battles: - there's no Dash-gauge so you can't dash, but you could use the trick I mentioned in the How to beat it section from the KRAKEN - If you play the game on an emulator, the boss battles are slower than the normal game Unlockable things inside the game: Songs: Complete missions with the name "Muzy" on the bottom right side of them to unlock songs. You can listen to them when you go to the beach on the bottom left side of Southern Island and speak to Muzy. Blaze: Beat the GHOST KRAKEN to unlock her. Deep Core Zone: Get all Emeralds (Chaos and Sol). Further infos in the note at the 9th boss. Decorations: Speak with Daikun or Setter after clearing sertain missions. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ LEGST Legal stuff: You may not copy parts or the whole FAQ without my permission.
