Xenosaga Episode I Walkthrough

Woglinde: Gnosis Attack

During the nap, you’ll see the creepy girl again, followed by fun with the Gnosis and Kosmos. When you have control again, you’ll need to get to the room where Kosmos is. I’m going to do the first part in numerical order, so you don’t leave something out and get killed.

StepAction
1Go into Shion’s room and save.
2Walk toward the Gnosis and get into the required battle. Try to attack and learn that it’s fairly pointless. You’ll see some fun cut scenes.
3Run through the right-hand doorway and either close the partition or duck into the room just beyond the partition switch.
4Exit that room and talk to the guy in the lower-right corner of the screen.
5Head up and use the control switch on the right to turn on the video screen. This will distract the Gnosis and let you get past.
6Continue to the control room and save. Talk to the guy there, then go left and forward.
7When you get close to the next Gnosis, retreat to the control room. Let it follow you, then slip past it.
8Exit the control room and watch the cut scene. Good morning, Kosmos. ;)

Airlock and A.G.W.S. Hangar

When you have control of Shion again, head left and forward through the doorway. You’ll see three weird things with a Gnosis behind them. Climb the ladder and press the airlock switch.

Go back down the ladder and talk to the guy in the bottom-left corner. He’ll send you to the A.G.W.S. Hangar. Head right inside the hangar and talk to the mechanic for the Key ItemPlug-in for M.W.S.; used to blow up stuff. If you need to buy supplies, you can do so from the guy on the right, but you may want to wait until you’ve collected the free stuff below.

Use the Vaporizer at the back of the hangar. Pick up:

Head down to the screen with the Gnosis by the yellow energy nets. Walk around to the left until one of the Gnosis sees you and breaks the box trying to get you. Then stand close to the energy nets to draw both Gnosis into them. Once they’re trapped, collect:

Go back to the airlock area and vaporize the large block to reach the ladder. At the top, blow up the two boxes for:

If you want, return to the control room and save again. Be careful not to blow up the glass door in the back. That will unleash guys who will kill you.

Sergeant Swaine and Segment Address No. 7

Return to the crewman who originally needed the Key ItemPlug-in for M.W.S.; used to blow up stuff, then head a little farther down the corridor and vaporize the obstruction. When the next Gnosis come after you, run around the far column and double back, just like the foot race earlier. Don’t get too far ahead of them, or they may go around both sides of the column. Insta-death. :(

After you get past them, you’ll see CharacterFederation soldier associated with Decoder 7.. Talk to him to receive Key ItemItem required to open Segment Address No. 7. Use it on SidequestSegment Address 7 is opened with Decoder 7. across the hall. Open the chest for Key ItemGive to the Professor at the Robot Academy; both arms give Throni Blade. and mark it .

Head down through door D-04 and watch the cut scenes. When you have control again, search the fallen crewman for the Key ItemItem Required to open Crewman's Quarters on Woglinde (). Use it on the upper door to the left, then open the chest inside for the A.G.W.S. WeaponAll enemies; Air; Hit. (). This is an A.G.W.S. weapon.

Save in the next room down. You can also hear the guy get a saying right. Not an applicable one, I’ll grant you, but you have to take what you can get, right?

Cyclops

Once you’ve saved, head down through door D-03 and watch more cut scenes. Are you on the edge of your seat yet? When you get control again, you’ll be fighting Boss560 HP; Gnosis type.

Did you notice when Kosmos blew out the window that her hair blew AWAY from it?

Fight back and reopen the ship

Now that Kosmos has activated, you can damage the LocationThe Federation cruiser used for the opening mission. Gnosis. If you didn’t do it before, you can also unequip Kosmos’ rings and have Shion learn the Skills contained in them.

Vaporize the debris nearby for:

Then blow up the yellow box and attack the Gnosis.

Head right and slightly up, then use the red switch in the little control room to open the partitions. This restores access to Shion’s room, where you can rest, save, and prepare for the remaining cleanup.

Vaporize the object in the middle of the next room up for another ItemTarget: All, HP & EP full recovery (). Next, blow up the sparking obstruction and kick some Gnosis butt.

Decoder 18 and the final cleanup

Go up and around through the ship instead of heading directly toward the exit. Vaporize the middle-room decoration on the next level for ItemTarget: 1, Revive KO'd ally with HP recovery/Low x2 (). Near the hologram controller, collect:

The vending machine by the control room has nothing. Enter the control room, break the glass, defeat the Gnosis, and open the chest for Key ItemItem required to open Segment Address No. 18. Return to SidequestSegment Address 18 is opened with Decoder 18. near Shion’s room and open it. Collect the Character AccessoryLightning -20 (Reduce lightning dmg by 20%) and mark it . This accessory is Skill Level 3, so you can’t extract its Skill yet. You can also open Segment 18 in the full tracker.

Before leaving this part of the ship, go all the way to the lower-right corridor where you met the drill operator. A Stim is hidden in the boxes there (). Then return to Shion’s room and save.

Head down and fight the three floating Gnosis, the Gremlins. After that battle, continue down a little and vaporize the boxes in the alcove to the left, just off-screen where the crazy guy was. You’ll get ItemTarget: 1, Escape from battle x2 () and a Gnosis. Oops. Well, they’re easy to kill.

Farther down, vaporize the lockers on both sides of the corridor for ItemTarget: 1, Revive KO'd ally with HP recovery/Low x3 ().

Minotaur and Sky Fish

If you’re ready to leave this area, heal Shion and Kosmos, check their equipment and Ether, then head farther down. If you have EtherShion: Steals from one enemy and can inflict Instant KO., make sure Shion has enough EP to cast it. This is your last chance to finish the LocationThe Federation cruiser used for the opening mission. cleanup during the current story sequence.

When the battle starts, use Shion’s Boost ability if you have it to aim your finishing attacks at the point-bonus Battle SystemTurn-based slot that cycles through blank, Critical Rate Up, Boost Gauge Up, and Points Up states.. Once all three enemies are down, watch the cut scenes and save when prompted. The next route begins at Asteroid Pleroma.
