general purpose AC

[Roh]

uhh I dread having to say this and I hate myself for it but is there anyway to have infinite or a high amount of AP? through action replay or something?. Ive never done this in any AC game before (and Ive beaten all the arena AC'S) I never even used OP I or anything like that but this boss is proving just too much for me.

lol, having a hard time with the MT's is no surprise. It's really easy to dodge them though if you do the following:

Equip an FCS that has a max lock of 400m or more, then equip the starting missile pack (69M), and you'll soon see everything you'll ever need to.

I use the F73H FCS on every AC I have because of the horizontal lock type. Regardless, when you're targeting the hallways with the missile launcher, you'll see EVERY suicide weapon within the locking range via the mass amounts of yellow lock boxes.

To see around corners, look at the wall in the direction the corner turns, and you'll see the suicide weapons easily. Just be sure to boost on the ground (Do NOT boost-hop, they'll collide with you) when they're high, and boost into the ceiling and stay there until they pass when they're low. It's nearly impossible to determine if they'll be to the left or right side of the hallway when you're looking past a corner.

When you get to Zinny, have the RL equipped on a speedy AC and backpedal your way to victory. Her PYTHON railgun is weak in damage, and has one of the WORST accuracy ratings in the game along with slow shot velocity. It does pretty small damage when it does hit, so try not to worry about it.

If you backpedal around the centerpiece of the room, Zinny will be easy pickings for you. Just don't panic and change your course of she flies above you and pelts you with her MG + LAMIA2 spam, or you'll be on for even more. Just keep backpedaling.

Otherwise, there's not much else to it. I only used the RL linear rifle to do the trick, so it's not to hard after you get used to it. It took me 2-3 days to complete the mission myself, if that's any consolation.

Have fun.

The key to beating her is speed, if you dont have that, you are toast.

I recently went back and did the mission for kicks with my Fortaleza AC here on the boards, and I ended up beating her with like 1200 AP left. All I did was sub the Radar for the RPX making it overweight, and I only got hit by 1 suicide MT and boosted thru the lasers leaving me with 7700 AP for internecine and zinaida. I took out the panals with the RPX and dropped those. Once zinaida came, I spammed and dropped the entire Kinnara+RM3 combo and went to town with the Ghost2+slyph arm combo. Her legs broke when I was around 2200 AP and it was smooth sailing from there.

So, rapid fire weaponry like HGs or AST rifles can do you just as well if not better.

"I've tried everything, and I just come-up short. Guess I'm not a perfect gamer, I'm good just not great."

It took me -months- to become as experienced as I am with the game. The entire AC series itself is something you need to really practice hard at to be really good with. Especially in Human vs. Human play.

This entire week I've been losing on Kai a whole lot, but all that does is motivate me to modify my staple ACs to become even more effective (See my topic 'Delta Mk.II') the next time I use them. You just need to get used to different things, it takes time with games as complex as AC.

Just keep at it, use the TP boosters to backpedal if you need to.
