Board the battleship
A WHOLE bunch of cut scenes, some very creepy ones, later, you’ll finally end up as some dude in an A.G.W.S. These bots can’t seem to harm you too badly, so just take ‘em out. I’d use the Square button, but that’s just me. ;)
You’ll watch some more cut scenes, and then you are CharacterPlayable party member and director of the Kukai Foundation., CharacterDurandal bridge officer., and Soldier. Head down the ramp at the upper-right of the screen, then down the lower-right edge of the next screen. There are people at the end of the corridor who tell you to be careful. Right. Since when is attacking an enemy ship the beginning of careful behavior? Heh heh.

U-TIC Card, Card No. 3, and Decoder 16
You’ll be ambushed again, so have your HP high enough for that. After killing them off, collect both cards before backtracking:
- 1x Key ItemUsed at the U-TIC Battleship card reader to open the locked room containing Decoder 16. from the chest revealed inside the first room on the right ()
- 1x Key ItemItem required to open Door #3 on U-TIC Battleship from the flashing object in the southern quarters ()
Go back through the hangar and Door No. 5. Cyber Crabs have replaced the soldiers in the hallways, but you can mirror their patrol paths or duck into rooms to avoid them.
Before opening Door No. 3, return to the locked room you passed earlier. Examine the card reader beside the door, use the Key ItemUsed at the U-TIC Battleship card reader to open the locked room containing Decoder 16., and open the chest for Key ItemItem required to open Segment Address No. 16.

| 5 | Head through Door No. 3 and follow the corridor to the bridge. Walk to the flashing terminal in the middle of the screen and operate it. |
Ambix
If you use the correct strategy, this upcoming battle shouldn’t be that difficult. You shouldn’t need to buff up Jr.’s A.G.W.S. using any extra equipment you’re just carrying around, but I guess you can if you want. You WILL be in the A.G.W.S., so you can unequip most accessories from Jr. I would recommend equipping a Scope, though, if you have two or more handy.
Have Jr. jump to his A.G.W.S. as soon as the battle with Boss1,200 HP; Mechanical type. Weak to No weakness. Rewards: 1800 XP; 62 T.Pts; 16 E.Pts; 50 S.Pts; 0G. Drops: Frame Repair Z; rare B-MAX Circuit. Strategy: Its frequent Counter-Boosts punish weak attacks. Guard for 6 AP, use W-ACT for larger bursts, and let Jr. board his A.G.W.S. if the on-foot approach becomes unsafe. begins. Your pistols do like 1 point of damage. Since this enemy has a high probability of counterattacking via Boost, it’s best if you do as much damage as possible on each attack. Don’t forget that you can use Battle SystemSix-AP A.G.W.S. attack that fires matching W-ACT-compatible left- and right-hand weapons together. if you have two of the same weapons equipped and 6 AP. Have each of your characters Guard for one turn, then use Battle SystemSix-AP A.G.W.S. attack that fires matching W-ACT-compatible left- and right-hand weapons together. on the next.
You can let Soldier get killed off if you want. It’s not that big a deal, as long as he gets a few shots in to knock the guy down a bit. If your A.G.W.S. stats get low, you can use the Frame Repairs, but I didn’t find them necessary if I used this strategy. Also, you can equip one of your Scope accessories and know when to use the Golden Egg, but if you do that, you’ll only have one for the next cast of characters.
Anyway, watch all those cut scenes and you’ll be back at the LocationThe cargo ship that becomes the party’s main transportation hub., eventually. The next route begins at the Dock Colony.
