Alter A.I.L.A. Genesis

Really...
There should be a law against teleporter mazes in video games. At least it's not as bad as Strange Journey's teleporter maze - invisible pits combo from hell.

Where the feth is the Shard in the Underwater Facility 2???
Seriously, I think I've checked every nook and cranny and came up empty-handed...

Alter A.I.L.A. Genesis

A Signal Ring? That's news to me... Where can you find Tinderbot 3?

Alter A.I.L.A. Genesis

All the PC and NPC sprites incl. animations, some of the monster graphics, all cutscene graphics and portraits, system graphics. Most enemy sprites and all tilesets are ripped (there's a full list of sources in the credits).

You need 3 rounds before you can use Leon's EX for the first time, then it's an EX every two turns. I never needed the extra AP with Erin, and Sniper is pretty useless; for some reason the bosses didn't care about AP crush.

You can easily find bonus shopkeepers in Rebel Base Prison. Go down at the first opportunity and then left. It may take a while, though. Reeves sells EX Fac. B's for 35.000, HP for 25.000, and AP for 30.000.

I believe you can buy Colossal Wall from Tinder et al.

Violet deals 3300 damage with a normal attack and 9900 with EX, regardless of crushes, resistances etc. She also doesn't need to reload. Leon can use his EX every other turn for 2200 (normal) + 7700 (EX) every two turns. He's also quite resistant to damage and pretty fast too. Erin is there for First Aid (as I didn't want to waste any money on Stimulant Fields). She can't use it twice in a row even if on max EX, so there's no need for a higher level mode. Barrage also gives better stat boosts and with HP Facilitator B she recovers 8% HP each turn. Needless to say she doesn't do any damage.

For the Mirror bosses I just give the character the best gear I have, check what element the character is weak to and give them appropriate syncs. I didn't grind with anyone and somehow managed to beat them all, although Gray's and Jake's doppelgangers were tough. Play it safe and stock up on Stimulant B's, maybe use Boosters or Crush Fields.

I'm not sure about the boss. I just used CRISIS etc. and made mincemeat out of him.

Facilitator B's can be bought from Reeves or his brother (forgot which); it appears they replace Tinderbots randomly, just like Tinder.

My party was between level 40 and 50 for most of the post game. Levels don't really matter, gear and items do.

BTW, here's the party I used for the post game. It isn't optimized, but none of the bosses gave me much trouble.

Leon: Guardian, Colossal Wall, HP Facilitator A, Pulsar.
Erin: Valkyrie, Soul of Stella, Minerva, HP Facilitator B, Barrage.
Violet: Crisis, Minerva, HP Facilitator B, Nova.

Alter A.I.L.A. Genesis

Return to the spot during the post game and you will fight an optional boss.

As for the GPS thingamajig you get it by clearing the Street Tournament. It doesn't allow you to locate shards, however, it only reveals secret passages.

Alter A.I.L.A. Genesis

Thanks once again, I've updated the list at the top. If there's anyone who hasn't gotten to the part when you can start collecting Joker skills and fight Soul Mirror bosses and plans to do so, please note who gets the skills and what Mirror bosses you fight in which locations so that we can come up with a comprehensive list.

As for Aurora Shards - did you get the one at Orbital Prison 3? That one was a bit tricky and required examining almost all the walls (up/down) there.

Alter A.I.L.A. Genesis

Thanks for the info on quizbot. So, it seems the easiest way to get it over with is this:
- enter the Bridge
- go left, right, left, left, right and enter the door by the ladder
- go left and if quizbot isn't there, follow the path to the exit and enter the Bridge once again
- if he is there, save the game and answer his questions
- if you fail, either reload if you got less than, say, 20 questions right, or exit the area and enter it again

And I guess it's time to find all the Jokers. Here are the ones I remember:

Inner Core 2 - ???
Abandoned City - Erin
No Man's Land 2 - Indy
No Man's Land - Gray
Orbital Prison 3 - Violet
Sewers - Jake
Main Prison - Red
Rebel Base Prison - Hawk
Slums - Silvra
Bridge Facility - ???
Warehouses - Reeves
Oberon Tower - Kugar
Factory - Tinder
Underwater Facility - ???

And the list of Mirror bosses:
Slums - ???/Reeves
Core Shaft 1 - ???/???
Outer Perimeter - ???/???
No Man's Land 3 - Gray/Lavitz
Rebel Base - ???/???
Dam Facility - ???/???
Manor - ???/Kugar
Jackal Labs - ???/???
Underwater Facility - ???/Tinder
Below Stynx 2 - Red/Tinderbot 1

Alter A.I.L.A. Genesis

OK, I've finished the main game and most of the post game (all the optional areas and first batch of Mirror bosses) but I'm now having a crisis of faith. To progress further I need to do two things:
- find the quiz Tinderbot and answer all the questions. Since his appearance is random, I don't really feel like replaying all the dungeons in hopes of finding him and not blowing one of the questions and having to find him again. It'd be cool if there was a save point nearby one of the spots he appears in, but alas...
- grind the optional characters to level, say, 40 just to stand a chance against Reverse Mirror bosses. As good as AAG battle system is, I ain't doing that for 10 characters, no fucking way. Really, no auto-leveling up for bench warmers is so stupid... BTW, beating Jake's Mirror boss was a nightmare, same with Gray's (I mean, that guy could use his EX every other turn without activating it! Now that's broken).

Random thought: an item for disabling random encounters would be a godsend. Without it reexploring old areas in hopes of finding Jokers and secret areas is a chore.

My final party: Leon, Erin, Violet. Indy is just too squishy and will always be underleveled. Hawk... I have no idea what's up with that guy, but he was so useless, same with Jake. Overall there were like two times as many characters as there should've been, but you know it already. Extra characters are gimmicky as hell and, like I've already mentioned, need lots of grinding to bring them in line with the main cast. Will anyone bother? Time will tell... I know I won't, so I ain't finishing the post game without some sort of way to auto-level.
