I build Scape Dolls for the fight. Never go in without 3.

i remember i once had a mechgun (whichever one is the most powerful of the generic kinds) with the "King's" ability on it which gave you 12% exp. when you hit an enemy using the special attack.  it was great for leveling up.  >=D

i also remember my friend managed to get a GULD MILLA online.  that weapon was awesome - own the hell out of an enemy, AND recover your health quickly.

King? Eh, I'd rather just go through killing as fast as possible (and with a Force, it's very possible).

I'm working up to Vol Opt. He's tedious as fuck because in the GC version, Vol Opt will not move on to form 2 unless you kill all the totems, which means I have to go easy on the monitors. Standard Foie + Mind Brand for life. Mind Brand for the monitors (0 damage, but I gain 25+ TP per "hit") and regular Foie shoots fast enough and accurately enough that I can hit the red totem no problem. Plus it's cheap, and I need TP for Resta.

PSO Plus details- Gamecube

I was chatting on AIM with Hyperguy about this,and i thought i'd post it for the benefit of those on the forum who don't know what exactly PSO Plus is.


Phantasy Star Online Episode 1 and 2 Plus is known to fans as PSO Plus.The purpose of PSO Plus was to make more of the online-only content available for offline only gamers.The game was a VERY limited release...it came out in a September,and by that same year December,it was already out of print.If you missed it,some online stores may have it,but you can find it easily on Ebay.For purposes of price comparison,PSO Plus was released in the USA at a price of $29.99 new,but since it is a rare find now,you may end up paying more on places like Ebay.

PSO Plus NEW FEATURES:

Episode 1:
In 'The Fake in Yellow' quest,you can now activate the GBA downloads offline.One of the mini-games is a game where you fly 'Nights' around on the screen collectiing items for points.I forgot what the other two mini-games are.

The download quest, 'Central Dome Fire Swirl' is now available offline,after you beat the other Episode 1 quests.

Episode 2:
There's 3 Episode 2 quests available,and they feature a new area and new enemies...
'Seat of the Heart' continues the story of Elly and CAL,from the Episode 1 quest 'Knowing One's Heart'.In 'Seat of the Heart',if you do things right,you can get the rare Ragol Ring item. (See PSOworld website for a full FAQ on how to get the Ragol Ring)

'East Tower' pits you against 10 floors of monsters,including new enemies such as Del Lilly,Ill Gill and the new mini-boss Epsilon.

'West Tower' has you search the Seabed lab for an enterance to the other tower, and put you in some dark rooms,with the new enemies,where the lights stay dark untill you kill all the enemies on that floor.

Episode 2 Challenge Mode:
With PSO Plus,you can now play Episode 2 Challenge Mode offline,with a team of 4 players.The last area of the Challenge Mode pits you and your party up against the new enemies and Epsilon in one of the towers.It also has a different variety of prizes than the Episode 1 Challenge Mode.

Also,it should be noted for fans of Phantasy Star 4,that if certain section ID's kill an Ill Gill on Ultimate difficulty,it may drop Rika's Claw,the huge weapon Rika used in Phantasy Star 4 on the Genesis.

Also,PSO Plus data is compatible with the old PSO Ep.1 and 2.You can freely move your characters between the two versions.Also,if you have PSO Plus data on your memory card,this gets you a free 'Nano Dragon' card in Phantasy Star Online Episode 3- CARD Revolution.

Sounds sweet. Can I use my character from the standard PSO 1 and 2 game?

Epsilon is the mini-boss of the tower quests in PSO Plus.he's a character offline-only gamers never got to fight until PSO Plus came out.He is the final enemy you must defeat to complete the East and West tower quests in PSO Plus.Also,if you destroy all the computer terminals in the quest Seat of the Heart,you can fight him there, too.He is a Machine type enemy.

He does look similar in ways.His attacks are...

Rafoie bomb (He uses a laser sight to track you)
Epsiguard (These are his rotating shields he can attack with.He can charge them with Foie,Zonde,Barta or Megid)

From what i heard(but i couldn't find data to confirm it),people have said that PSO Plus also has slightly better graphics resolution than the original PSO 1 and 2 Cube version had.

I hate the lightning spells. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

true...but if Epsilon's shields have Megid charged to them and they hit you...if you don't have a Scape Doll or the Ragol Ring(Acts as a one time Scape Doll)equipped,you're screwed.

It's just...even without my Red Merge, Rafoie deals at LEAST 200 damage to the enemies that are weak to it. Razonde is barely doing 173 damage, and that's just plain not cutting it. On the upswing, I found some awesome General/Mind units last night and got to use my Ice Staff: Dagon weapon waaaaay earlier than I should have.
