## Roadmap

### Stage 1: Eloen playthrough

Eloen has the best character abilities and starting extra: infinite bombs and a golden key.

Run through the first area of Ancient Techforest until you get a decent weapon from the Weapon Chest.

You should restart (quit to menu) if you do not get one of these weapons. Alternatively, if you want the weapon to be registered in your spaceship get yourself killed.

Defeat as many enemies as you can, saving the mini-bosses for last to maximize the experience you get from each area. See Enemies for info on each enemy and mini-boss.

After this area you'll arrive in a safe room with the following:

If you still have a shield charge, or the shop sells one and you can spare the Cells, talk to Jeremy to get a +2 STR glove.

Also talk to Hehe Hehe and give him the 25 cells he asks for. This investment will eventually pay out with a +1 DEF armor.

Play through the second area of Ancient Techforest, and arrive at a new safe room. This time Hehe Hehe asks for 50 Cells.

Enter the teleporter to fight one of two bosses:

* Sinister Sentinel
* Omega Zero

Once defeated you unlock Ancient Block. Open the Item Chest to get a random item, some Teamerite, and maybe a Silver Helmet.

In the safe room that follows talk to the Nurse to get 5 HP back. Hehe Hehe asks for 75 Cells.

Brok is a technician who can repair the teleporter. He asks for x Teamerite, x Golden Key, and x Cells. Repair the teleporter if you have what he asks to complete part 1 of 'Teleporter Engineer'.

Enter the teleporter to go to Thule Wulz Grotto.

Fight through and reach the next safe area. Here Hehe Hehe asks for 100 Cells.

Fight through and reach the next safe area. Here Hehe Hehe asks for 200 Cells. If you gave him the cells each time, you'll now get the Silver Armor.

The next boss you face is one of two:

* EMX Prototype
* Rusty Oxtator

Once defeated you unlock 'Cave Block'. Open the chest to get a random |item, some Teamerite, and maybe a Golden Helmet.

In the safe room that follows, you'll find Grok again. This time he needs x Teamerite, x Golden Key, and x Cells. Repair the teleporter if you have what he asks to complete part 2 of 'Teleporter Engineer'.

Enter the portal and go past Hehe Hehe (if you completed his quest) to enter the Prime Reactor.

Fight through the area to reach the next safe room.

Here you'll find Dook, who asks for x Teamerite, x Golden Key, and x Cells to get to the surface. If you help him you unlock 'Dook Mission'.

Fight through the area to reach the next safe room. Enter the portal to fight the boss:

* Pure Energy

Once defeated you unlock 'Reactor Block'. You're warped to Gigacocoon.

Here you'll find Grok again. This time he needs x Teamerite, x Golden Key, and x Cells. Repair the teleporter if you have what he asks to complete part 3 of 'Teleporter Engineer'. If you've repaired all three teleporters you now unlock 'Teleporter Engineer'.

Fight through the two areas (there's no safe room between them) to reach the room before the final boss. Spend your TP on STR here; the next boss is easy and you'll find a +99HP Medkit.

The final boss you'll fight in this playthrough is Giga Gaia.

Once defeated you unlock 'Cocoon Block' and see one ending.

* Ancient Block
* Cave Block
* Reactor Block
* Cocoon Block
* Dook Mission
* Teleporter Engineer

### Stage 2: Nue playthrough

Nue has a high jump skill that will make backtracking a little easier, and high ledges will be easy to get to.

Follow the same path as Eloen, except when you run into Hehe Hehe be certain to give him the Cells!

Once you've defeated the Thule Wulz Grotto boss and you can talk to Hehe Hehe in front of a giant structure, he'll offer to take you to the Ivory Tundra.

Accept his offer, fight through the two areas and arrive at the boss fight:

* The General GrulGuk

Once defeated you unlock 'Ice Block'.

In the safe room that follows be sure to open both chests; one of them contains the Xenon Prototype 01.

Instead of using the teleporter to enter Gigacocoon, jump up through the gap in the ceiling:

Keep jumping for about 10 jumps while going right. Once you don't fall back down, press up to use the secret teleporter. In this new area use the spaceship to start your flight to the AI Mothership.

During this flight you'll encounter big and small asteroids, and some other spaceships. Shoot the big asteroids to get Teamerite, and the spaceships for experience.

Once the AI Mothership is defeated you unlock 'AI MotherShip'.

In the safe room that follows, open the item chest for a Golden Armor.

Enter the portal, fight through Gigacocoon, and try to keep three Golden Keys. The safe room before Giga Gaia now has an Uber Chest that contains an S-rank sword. If you open this, you'll unlock 'Secret Weapon'.

Defeat Giga Gaia to unlock 'The Hero' and another ending.

* Ice Block
* AI MotherShip
* Secret Weapon
* The Hero

### Stage 3: Renna playthrough

Renna may have the most useless skill, regarding both combat and mobility: key/chest radar.

Follow the same path as Nue, but instead of going to Ivory Tundra, Hehe Hehe will take Renna to the Phoenix Wastes.

Fight your way through the two areas (again no safe room between) to arrive at the boss fight:

* The Robot Commander

Once defeated you unlock 'Fire Block'. In the safe area that follows talk to Obey to get the Xenon Prototype 02.

Enter the portal, fight through Gigacocoon, and try to keep three Golden Keys. The room before Giga Gaia now has an Uber Chest that contains an S-rank sword.

Defeat Giga Gaia to unlock 'Never Escape' and another ending.

* Fire Block
* Never Escape

### Stage 4: Deftos run

Now that Gobo wants to talk to you, go to the Commander shop and buy the Xenon Valkyrie for 1 Teamerite. This unlocks 'Gold Weapon'.

If you haven't got much Teamerite back up your save to USB or cloud. Each attempt at Deftos will cost you 1 Teamerite!

Use the teleporter to warp to Gigacocoon and use your TP as follows:

* 10 TP to DEF
* 6 TP to HP

Now you have several options:

* Defeat two Bigray-y mini-bosses to get three golden keys and open the Uber Chest, getting you an S-rank weapon;
* Run to the nearest Weapon Chest and hope you get a decent sword;
* Gain as many levels as you can and put all TP into STR;

The goal of this is to defeat Giga Gaia as fast as possible. He can easily be defeated without getting hit so you won't need that much HP, but the time it takes may vary greatly.

With Giga Gaia defeated, you'll get a cutscene, but this time you use the Xenon Valkyrie to be transported to another dimension. Activate the Talent Tablet and you'll fight Deftos.

Win the fight to unlock 'God Killer'!

* Gold Weapon
* God Killer

### Stage 4: Blackstorm playthrough

With all characters now having completed the game, there's an Uber Chest at the entrance of Blackstorm Lab.
Visit the Blackstorm Lab page for tips, preparations, how to get there, and how to get through.

Fight through the lab to arrive at the safe room. Spend your TP on HP as the next boss is nigh impossible to defeat without getting hit.

Once defeated you unlock 'Lab Block'. In the chest after the boss you'll find the Wedding Pendant, needed to unlock Gadiel as playable character.

Complete the run however you like. My advice is to complete the game; you're overpowered because you went through Blackstorm Lab and have an S-rank weapon.

If you don't need the Teamerite and you're level 25 or higher, kill yourself to unlock 'Level 25 reached'.

* Lab Block
* Level 25 reached

### Stage 5: Gadiel partial playthrough

With him now unlocked, talk to him on the surface to play as him. Use the teleporter and find one of the Goddess Statues to level up.

When you use the statue you unlock 'Altar of the Goddess'.

* Altar of the Goddess

### Stage 6: Cleanup

Most likely you'll only have 'Commander Tent' left to unlock, so buy something with Teamerite there.

* Commander Tent
* A True Hero

## Tips and strategies

There are only a few things that carry over to new runs:

* Teamerite
* Xenon Prototype 01
* Xenon Prototype 02
* Wedding Pendant
* Your skills at playing the game

Everything else is lost:

* Cells
* Special items (including Xenon Valkyrie)
* Weapons equipped
* Armors equipped
* Golden keys found
* Bosses defeated

Tips:

* Ignore the timer at the top of the screen; it does absolutely nothing and has no impact on gameplay. Take your time getting used to the controls, enemy patterns, and character mobility.
* Every character starts out with their default sword and gun, and a various amount of ammo. This ammo can only be restocked in the Space Shop, by spending TP on WPA, or by finding Ammo Packs in the dungeon.
Unless you're facing a fast and jumping enemy, keep the ammo for the turrets in BlackStorm Lab and Prime Reactor.
* Grenades can only be replenished at a Space Shop, use them wisely.
* The starting swords are the weakest in the game. Getting a strong weapon from the first Weapon Chest you find can save you from spending TP on STR to make up for the lack of melee damage. See Equipment for the list of weapons.
* You can only use your sword during boss fights: no guns, grenades, or bombs.
* Use Teamerite to unlock better weapons. Getting a powerful weapon from the first chest can make a playthrough incredibly easy.
* When you level up, any left-over experience points are lost. Keep this in mind before you defeat a mini-boss!
* Get your DEF stat as soon as you can to 5 and complete Hehe Hehes quest to get a free stat boost.
* Ceiling mounted turrets have 1 HP and are best shot down with a gun.
* The fire/poison blasters also have only 1 HP and can kill enemies.
* Enemy gunfire can kill enemies. The exceptions are the enemies that shoot in arcs (Mekaflower, Mecaball, BigfireF), but the Mecaclown does hurt enemies.
* Enemies get fall damage
* Enemies get spike damage when the 'fall' on them (1 pixel is enough)
