Millennial Fair – Xenogears Strategy Guide
I have been working on providing the web’s most reliable Strategy Guide for Xenogears. I will be posting the Guide in Chapters over the course of the next few weeks. All the directions in the guide are based on the compass in the game itself, this way you can’t get lost (unless you can’t read a compass). In the unlikely event that you are still stuck somewhere, drop me an .
Some guides on the internet have insanely high Level requirements for characters, my FAQ goes by the minimum, meaning that if you are the level I recommended, you will be fine, if you want to be more sure of yourself, then you can always train more to get to a higher level, though I can’t think of why this is necessary, don’t rely too much on levels, since they tend not to affect Gear Battles and such.
The continent of Ignas, in the northern hemisphere of our world. On this continent a war has been raging between countries for hundreds of years. in the north of the continent lies the Kislev Empire, in the south lies the desert Kingdom of Aveh.
The War has gone on for so long that the people have forgotten the cause, knowing only the pointless circle of hostility and tragedy.
The chronic war obession was soon to encounter a devastating change. This was due to the ‘Ethos’, an institution that preserves our world culture, repairing tools and weapons excavated from the ruins of an ancient civilization. At once both countries excavated these ruins, and had the ‘Ethos’ repair the discoveries, in order to increase their military power.
The various weapons excavated from these ruins greatly changed the form of warfare. The outcome of the battles between the two countries was no longer determined by man–to–man combat, but by ‘Gears’ – giant humanoid fighting machines that were obtained from deep within the ruins.
Eventually, after continuous swings in the state of the war, Kislev gained the upper–hand.
The major factor behind this lay in the enormous difference in the amount of resources buried within their ruins.
But suddenly a mysterious military force appeared in the continent of Ignas called ‘Gebler’. This force decided to make contact with Aveh.
With the assistance of the Gebler military force, Aveh was able to recover from being hopelessly outnumbered to being back on even standing with Kislev.
Then, taking further advantage of it’s newly gained momentum, Aveh started to capture one teritory after another from Kislev, showing no indication of slowing down in their invasion campaign.
The remote village of Lahan, in the outskirts of Aveh, near the border with Kislev. This is where it all begins.
The village of Lahan is under attack, a man named Fei battles enemy gears. His friend Citan urges Fei to stop fighting in the village. Ignoring this advice, Fei knocks down his enemy.
The screen fades out and Fei is seen painting. He wants to take a break from his work. You now have control of Fei. Use the directional button to move around, holding down the circle button will allow you to run when moving around. Press triangle to jump, square to bring up the menu, and the x button to talk to people. Examine the bed with the x button to find 200 G. You can also rest here to regain your Health Points.
Leave the room and enter the one across the hall. Talk to the maid and she will tell you about how Fei ended up in Lahan. Check out the storage room in the West. Inspect the barrels for 2 Aquasol. Now head up the east stairs. Talk to Timothy (the guy on your right) he’ll ask you to go seehis fiancee Alice. Talk to everyone else and exit through the East door. Dan will barge in and asks to see you outside. Exit East. Walk to the well in the middle of town and talk to the woman standing next the the cow. When she asks you a question, answer: Of course not! to receive another Aquasol.
Now use triangle to jump into the well three times, you will find: Eyeball, Aquasol S, Power Ring. Now eneter the North West house, talk to the man in blue and tell him that drinking won’t help matters (choice 3) and he will give you: Mermaid Tear. Exit the house and talk to Dan (the little guy with the red hair), who should be waiting around here.
Tell him you’ll help him with his plan. Enter the east house. Talk to Alice’s aunt and go up the stairs. After an intimate talk with Alice, leave the house. You can visit the Village Consultant House (South West) if you want detailed explanations of the game modes (not really necessary if you are reading this FAQ).
Visit the South East house and win the Rock–Paper–Scissor games to earn the RPS Badge. It can be quite annoying so you should save your game first before trying, since the games cost money. You will need the badge later on to get different items (and you won't be able to return to Lahan to get this one either). After that is done, go to the basement of the same house and talk to the old man. Tell him you like Lahan (choice 1) and he will give you 120 G. Visit the General Store (North West) and buy some items for the journey ahead. Exit Lahan North.
Lahan Review:

Treasure: Aquasol x 3, Aquasol S, Power Ring, Eyeball, Mermaid Tear, RPS Badge

You are now in the mountain path heading towards Doctor Uzuki’s. Walk North and you’ll see a Save Point and a road sign. Follow the path to the North–North East, you will come to an intersection with a ledge to the West, when you approach the ledge, Fei will show you the layout of the mountain, but first follow the East path. You will see a treasure chest on a North East Ledge, jump to the treasure chest: Aquasol.
Now head for the West ledge and use a speed jump to jump across. Continue West and talk to the boy. Jump acorss the next ledge. Now follow the road North over the bridge, go West at the intersection and follow the path to the East, you will find a treasure chest right under the bridge: Aquasol. Now go back to the intersection and go East untill you see another sign. North West of the sign is a tree, jump in to the tree and a spider will crawl down, pick up the spider and exit North.

Enter the house and talk to Midori and Yui. Leave the house and enter the tool shed. You’ll hear an explosion and meet Citan. Now ebeter the shed and examine the box. After a long conversation you leave the Uzuki residence. Exit South and cross the bridge, a load rumbling will start and gears are seen flying towards Lahan.
Citan approaches, follow him and run back to the village. You will meet Timothy and Alice. A gear is seen shooting at Fei, another gear lands in front of Fei. Fei sees a child inside the gear, though Citan tries to stop him, Fei enters and controls the gear.
Gear Battle:
Weltall v.s. Musha MK 100 (2)
This is tutorial battle for gear fighting. Simply use your Square attack or X attack to destroy one of the gears, then crush the other one with a deathblow Lv.1.
As soon as the gears go down, three more gears accompanied by a dark mysterious gear launch an attack on Fei.
While Fei is fighting, Citan contemplates the sudden change in behaviour. Dan is found and talks to Citan. A gear fires at Timothy and kills him. Fei looses his mind after seeing his friend killed and triggers a massive weapon that levels Lahan. Fei wakes up and the survivors of the Lahan tragedy exile him from the village, branding him a murderer. You will now leave Lahan and venture out onto the world map.

Normal attacks won’t harm this creature and it’s counter absorbs your fuel. All you need to do is hit it with your Guided Shot (Ether) a few times. Amplified by Weltall’s ether engine this attack will do about 100 damage. Kill it quickly as possible.
After the battle is over, Fei and Citan are arrested by Kislev. Fei is sleeping on a cargo ship and has a dream about his father and Grafh. When he wakes up he talks to Citan about it. Save your game, talk to Citan untill he suggests to go to sleep. A mysterious conversation between Citan and Emperor Cain will be shown.

Equip Weltall with the Extra Ar+1 for extra defense. Now investigate the rock. Fei and Bart push it away. Go through the passage, a little to the South is a treasure chest: Gold Nugget.

Calamity is a good gear and tough opponent. Cast Wild Smile a few times to make him an easier target. Calamity’s attacks are strong so after 2 Wild Smiles, let rip with your deathblows. Use Fei’s Hazan and Bart’s Beat Serpent. If need be and your HP is low, use your booster. because of the Wild smile he will miss his basic attacks. If Fei’s fuel is getting low, use his Lv.1 deathblows instead and try to recharge if you reach 200.

Boss Battle:
Weltall, Brigandier and Heimdal v.s. Schpariel
Use Fei’s Hazan, Citan’s Shinrai and Bart’s Beat Serpent attacks. When he damages your defense, use your healing ether spells to repair it. He will not last very long, another easy victory for you.
After the battle Fei teams up with Bart to rescue the Holy Mother Marguerite of Nisan. Enter the Yggdrasil and head for the bridge, save your game, talk to Sigurd and tell him to leave the hideout.
Now that you have the Yggdrasil, you can move across large bodies of sand without being attacked. When riding the Yggdrasil, press Square to return to the bridge and Circle to get out in your gears. Train your characters and their deathblows the same wasy as you did in the underground cave.
A note about Deathblows and training:
All characters develop deathblows in a different way, characters like Citan and Billy develop their Deathblows faster than Elly and Rico. Be partient with training them, sometimes it seems they are not getting anywhere but eventually they’ll all learn. Bear in mind that learning Deathblows takes a lot of time and probably won’t earn you much exp and money. Training your character for Levels and money should de done differently. Make sure you are close to a save point and have plenty of Omegasol and SurvivalTents, use healing either first before using items.
Use your Deathblows to finish your opponents quickly. This will take a lot of time and EP, but you will kill off a lot of enemies and earn the EXP you need. When training inside your gears, make sure that you are close to a refuel and repair facility. Refueling is dirt cheap so don’t worry about costs. If you are fighting on the world map, you can enter the Yggdrasil and visit the bridge with the Square button, when you go back out in your gears, they will be repaired and refueled for free! When you are sufficiently changed, head for Bledavik, Capitol of Aveh.
Bledavik (Aveh)

Talk with the townspeople to learn about the festival. Talk to the vendors to buy fruits and there are a few funny social interactions you can discover as well. They won’t affect your game though. Enter the hallway next to the last stall, on the West side of the road talk to the vendor first, you’ll find a boy who wants to play Hide–and–Seek. Accept the challenge. He’ll start hiding after you enter a building. You can find him in these places:
– The North Gate, he’s standing on the East side just outside the city walls
– Behind the barrels West of the Ethos shop, west of town
– The doorway next to Mario’s restaurant
– Just near the South gate, go East next to the guy who tells you about the hotel, in the corner between the wall and the house (invisible)
You’ll be awared the H&S Badge. If you talked to the people near the water pump already, the kid will tell you about the water flowing underneath the city.

SwordKnight, Claw Knight, AegisKnight
Get rid of SwordKnight first with an X attack and then your strongest Lv.1 Deathblow. Get rid of Clawknight the same way. Repair your Ar with Inner Healing when AegisKnight lowers your defense. If you do this, his attacks won’ hurt as much. Finish him off without using too much fuel.
A lot of people say these fights are tough, but it depends on how well you trained Fei before and if you keep Weltall updated with new engines, frames etc. If you follow this guide all the way, you should have no problem with it.
Elly appears at the scene now, she has a flashback about the drive drug and how she killed people who wanted to test it on her. She will go mad and attack Fei.
Boss Battle:
Weltall v.s. Vierge
She is not really that strong at all. Give her a good fight. Throw in your Lv.2 Deathblows. Aerods will do 300 damage. The Drive will weaken Vierge so Fei tackles her. Vierge will shut down as the Drive runs out.
After talking to Elly, Fei leaves to rejoin Maitreya’s unit. Refuel and save again. Simply follow the ledges all the way up and exit at the top. The screen will switch to bart and his men. Climb the ladder to the South, bart will be ambushed. Maison will rescue the crew. Save your game here.
leave the gun room to go back to Fei’s screen. Fei and Maitreya attack Vanderkaum’s border fleet. The dumb Vanderkaum pulls back the anti–gear gunners like Citan expected. Falkon tells you what to do. Avoid the gears, you can save fuel if you do encounter some gears by using the Guided Shot to attack.
Save as much fuel as possible. Avoid the gunfire, pass the shop to the West. If you are far from it, Falkon will destroy the destroyer (hehe). Now you must pass through the last line of destroyers, avoid the mines. Keep movind and don’t get shor. Fight your way through and exit West. You will now have to fight Vankerkaum’s Kefeinzel.
Boss Battle:
Weltall v.s. Kefeinzel Main Gun
Ignore the two small guns, attack the main gun with your X attacks. If you can use a Lv.3 Deathblow, use it, otherwise use Lv.2 Deathblows to destroy the cannon quickly.
A mysterious gear appears, destroying Kefeinzel. Vanderkaum is the pilot. This is the “Toy” Ramsus mentioned to Shakhan.
Boss Battle:
Wetall and Two Pirate gears v.s. Dora
Stay cool in the battle. You have the help of two pirate gears. Use their Square attacks. Don’t waste fuel and be patient. He will grab your friends. When you knock out his Main Defense, use Booster for Weltall, providing you have at least a 1000 units of fuel.
Attack him with all your might. Use your deathblows, use the Pirates’ Square attack. Don’t worry about fuel and use it all to destroy him. He won’t last long if you used booster.
After the battle, Grahf appears and will give Vanderkaum unholy powers. In the meantime Lahr will attack the Yggdrasil. Kahr thinks back to the time he was with Sigurd. The pirates are destroyed by Vanderkaum’s new power. Fei loses control like the time in lahan and the battle with Calamity.
Back at the Yggdrasil, a Huge Red Gear appears, destroying the Gebler Fleet. “The Demon of Elru” fights Ramsus, however Ramsus is horribly defeated and retreats. He then turns to Bart. DOn’t bother much with this fight, he will disable you with one blow. Sigurd will jump on the Red Gear with the Yggdrasil.
But the gear throws away the Yggdrasil and leaves it to sink in the desert. Citan escapes in Heimdal. You are now given an option to save your game.
