GC: General tip thread - PSO-World.com Forums

Bladehunter · 08-29-2004, 01:21 PM

I was thinking we could make a nice post with different tips and maybe glitches in PSO for GC, excluding the obvious ones(Pressing start when passing traps, running around Garanz/Baranz etc.)
And I would appreciate if this thread could be flame-free.

My tip: Sometimes you do a Photon blast on a group of enemies when they surround you. But if they dont die of the photon blast they will all hit you a the same time, causing tremendous damage and often death. BUT if you have an android with you, make him/her place a freeze trapwhen you do a Photon blast. Then, under the PB sequence, the freeze trap will go offand freeze all the enemies so that you can escape without taking damage.

If you are an android, you can set a freeze trap using the quickSelect menu and quickly use your Photon blast. It will have the same effect.

My Tip:

If you are dead and someone lets off a PB.
Press Y to donate some of your PB to the blast.
If the blast turns out to be Milla & Youlla, or Leilla you will be revived.
You only need to donate 10 PB for this to take effect.

Its handy for if you have no Moons on a hard boss, and one character is alive. If he uses his PB it's possible to revive the whole team again.

I just learned this one thanks to the helpful people in the Item / Quest section:

Max Attack 2 Quest TIMER LOCK

The team leader stays in the first room while the other team members go to the computer and press "Yes". Then all the members step away from the computer and wait by the door. Then the team leader goes to the computer and selects "yes". He will see a timer, but no one else will, and there should be no time limit on the game.

The one thing I'm not sure on is whether or not this trick affects final ranking... anyone else know?

Wow, never knew that Fireal!

My tip: When doing a timed quest, try to stay well clear of walls/objects...they tend to get a tad...*sticky*, and will slow you down.

Tip: If you're doing your PB, and nobody else is, you've screwed up.

Tip: Worry about your Mag's IQ more than its Synchro. M&Y does you no good if you do it and the mag has no IQ and thus gives you L1 S/D.

Tip: Note ahead of time when you're going to do your PB chain, who is going to do what, make sure that no two consecutive people do the same PB, and do a count or at least a 'Now'. For best results damage-wise in addition to the uber-SD, do it on a group of enemies. To make sure it doesn't get screwed up, do it in an empty room or hallway. Nothing sucks more than a botched combo because someone got knocked down. On a related note, should you be doing it on enemies, the character who is most likely to be the one knocked down should go first, i.e, FOmar before HUcast.

Heres a simple one, make sure you are in the same romm when doing a pb chain or it may not work (only the first blast gets used and weekened), also NEVER do it by a door or wall, as it may detect you as out of the room, especaly in the ruins near doors, and in the mines in the small square sinow rooms, in the corners!

For runnung around garanz's i noticed you can still control the camera with the quick menu up or if you have non offensive(non-attacking) buttons set on your controls.I use traps and mates on R trigger and just always hold R running thru hallways. you cant control camera with the start button =(

sweet tip Fireal. as for tips,
1-if someone has done a photon blast in the room ahead of you, and your not in the room, enter it cause the enemies inside that room will be frozen and you can get in some free shots.

2-the froozen shooter can be extremely effective as a boss weapon. since it goes in a straight line no matter, it can work just like a shot in that it doesdamage to multiply targets. try using it on de ral lie.

3-for dealing with those large groups of enemies and using a sword or partisan class weapon, only use a two hit combo instead of the usually three. youll find that you wont be as open to attacks as much as when you finish the three.

Don't you mean snow queen, the frozen shooter doesn't penetrate?

I completely agree with the 2 hit combo. the pause after a 3 hit usually leaves you open waaaaaaaaaay too long. its possible to juggle a nano dragon thats trying to shoot his laser at you by doing 2 hit male saber animations. in ep1 cmode you can use a similar attack with the sinows when you start from the side.

2 hit combos also make weps that suck usable, like the claw series.
