Arkzein Discovery (Quickfix to Arkzein-itis)

There is no cure to Arkzein-itis! Those missiles are the spawns of hell!! They always seem to target me out of the group too.

As soon as I see a Arkzein I just run straight at it, roll under the missile and get behind the arkzein and start attacking at close range, it'll turn around and try to roll me over but can't (high EVP) so it just pushes me further away from the mini-nuke.

I'd have to agree that the main thing that makes arkzeins annoying as hell is when you don't expect their peen projectile missile gets you from behind. playing chicken or making your NPC's take it (make ogi useful if he hasnt looked at an explosive box already>_>) works too!

Yeah, I thought the same thing about redirecting the missiles initially, but I find it easier to send missiles back at Garanz (or Baranz) then it is to make Arkzeins damage themselves. The main problem I have is walking into a room and not noticing the launched missiles until it is too late. Generally if I have time things turn out okay, but the missiles seem to shoot out fairly quickly. When the NPCs are targeted things are much easier. Still, I cannot imagine being a ranger and fighting Arkzeins. I guess a situation like that would be when you switch to a melee weapon. Then again I am bad at PSZ compared to most people so maybe I just do not know what I am doing at all.

Dodging the Arkein missle? That's for pussies. REAL men fucking hop on top of that missle and ride that shit through the rest of the level.

What I almost always do is roll towards the missile and magically go through! LOL

The most fun is being shot by a Korse a split second before you can roll and getting hit anyway. ._.

In Solo mode you also have to contend with "THIS ENEMY LOOKS TOUGH!" taking up half the screen, blocking your view of any incoming missiles. ;~;

really old news for any PSO player, but k.

I know right? That and having the missile last longer than its set time just to somehow appear behind you and hit you as you're attacking the Arkzein.

I always circle around it, in case that happens, so I can use it as a shield against its own missile.
