Solo Extreme Quest - Q&A, Tips and Strategies

[final_attack]

I ..... recorded my runs .... ._. Finally done uploading. Done the runs yesterday ._.

1 is GuRa which I gave up trying to clear after 150+++ Pass (derped on some occasion in this one too, other vid got deleted because I need HDD space) Can't use rifle, don't have the proficiency or the weapon (just +10 Gal Rifle, 60 Light). Sure, been playing since CBT as Ra before Gu implemented, but even back then I used Gunslash for mostly every offense option (long range sniping with AimingShot). Until now, not much skill on rifle. I can use Rifle on Towers, darker walls, or VTOL, but that's basically most of non-attacking / non-moving targets. And VH or lower targets on TA too, I think, that I can 1 shot.

1 is GuHu which succeed.

1 is HuFi which succeed.

= Stage 6 =
Just in case you don't have decent rifle. It's ok to use TMG too for Cater. 3-4 times of JA'ed SatAim should kill it. Refer to GuHu version for less derped one.
Basically just side SRoll to the right once, then spam SA. To move to other Cater, either SRoll again, or just use Grimbarrage (I did it on other runs)

= Stage 7 =
DeadApproach to Decol + ShiftPeriod once can clear some lesser mobs while breaking Decol's parts at the same time. Continue to SatAim for Decol until death. Other than that, same strategy, I think.
For Angel, I tried MessiahTime, but the hitboxes sometimes isn't good. At 1 run, I can spam it's head or core, and quickly kill him. But it's depends on RNG where he use short distance attacks when I want him to move closer.
I tried headshotting with Elder, but the splash part (hard hitting one) can't headshot. It'll hit the wings, even if I aimed at the head :/

= Stage 8 =
Same as Xaeris's .... mind your kills.
But I'm using MessiahTime here as GuRa. It seems head can be hit with SatAim once broken, but must be directly from the front, or it'll hit legs or other parts. Possibly safe part to use Messiah, since you'll hit the bosses, while evading Artillery spam (if lucky >_> ). You can also try using Grim / Dead to close gap while evading bombardment (like I did on GuRa vid). The most important thing is the melee cat die 1st.
Spammed MessiahTime as GuHu like it was nothing though

= Stage 9 =
After 60s passed ......
Standard jump - SatAim spam can kill both at the same time ...... I derped on this one as GuRa though, need to get closer (only died 1-2 times during 30 tries) >_>

= Stage 10 =
Jump - DeadApproach (tried to go near Claris) and ShiftPeriod to clear.
Sniped Anga's Head as GuRa (should've done with GuHu too ... I wonder why it didn't crossed my mind when going GuHu, maybe too tired >_> ). WB + Chain seems to be way too overkill after Anga ressurect.
As for Dio, as usual, aimed the arm's core .... spam the body. Should it failed, be ready to move behind Dio after the Stun complete and he teleport. Homing Lasers can be avoided simply by standing behind it.
Can't comment on PD with rifle. I can't use it. Was focusing to evade OE only as GuHu though. Thanks to Automate. Use Xaeris's strategy instead.

I just try to lol my way with HuFi (too much lol doesn't saved me ........ must evade that WB and stuns). But seriously ..... how much damage increase for mobs in this XQ though. That's insanely hurt with defensive equipments.

Updated some stuff in the guide.
Notes on how to avoid Angel's attacks.

Also noticed that killing Dio Hunar first spawns Persona.
Persona is probably easier to read than Dio Hunar, but I dunno if it's better than burning down Anga.

On stage 8 as Hu/Fi, you can wipe the floor with Chainsawd/Elder Pain+Over End everything and not care about no healing trials, just be careful with Leon's air spin projectile attack or just kill it asap.

Chainsawd in general helps a ton for this. I messed up on the Ringahda / Diabo stage and ended up spawning both accidentally. I was able to tank Diabo's hits while taking out Ringahda purely because of HP steal from Chainsawd. It also gets around any XQ stage orders where you can't heal (Chainsawd/Elder Pain/Guld Milla HP steal don't count as healing).

Not managed to get very far yet but my gear could be better. Anyone have any hints for keeping either the darker chickens away from Diabo or the Aginis away from Ringahda? I tend to end up accidentally killing them while I'm fighting one of the bosses and end up spawning the second one.

[TaigaUC]

Yeah, I dunno about that. Depending on weapon it's easy to accidentally hit stuff.

First time I tried that stage I summoned Ringarda and Diabo too.
I think I used Katana Combat and burned one of them down after being juggled around the map for a while.

[Neith]

The problem I had was that even if I didn't accidentally kill the trash mobs they would attack whatever boss had spawned and end up getting killed that way

[Achelousaurus]

Stuff like Celesta Laser or Kasentoriharuka (Katori's db) also help a lot.

BTW, is there a list of what weapons/element get resisted/ enemies are weak against if you succeed/fail stage orders?

If your damage is anything reasonable, 2 hatous easily breaks a wing/tail on diabo. Kanran aginis, get gear from diabo attack block, break 1 wing, activate KC, break other wing, break tail, kanran whats left of darkers, press KC to kill both bosses.

[TaigaUC]

Ground Hatou can hit Diabo air wing? That kind of stuff always seems to miss for me.

Mag SP auto action, snatch step are pretty nasty when trying not to kill extra enemies.

I uploaded a video of me doing stage 6-10 as Br/Hu. I'm sure it's not great.
