Now much to say, really. I was a big fan of Factor 5 back in their N64 days, when Rogue Squadron and Battle for Naboo were the ultimate in flight-action games. Battle for Naboo holds a special place in my heart because of the plat hunt from way back when, even if they gave me infinite grief when I was first getting them. :) So, here we are. Martin wrote the majority of the guide, and I pitched in to tie up the loose ends. Enjoy! winnie the poop's Introduction ============================== I loved the original Gamecube Star Wars, Rogue Leader, to death, and when I found out about this game, my heart leapt! More missions! More gold medals! Co-op! Versus! What could go wrong! Sadly, I was disappointed because of the lack of difficulty and freedom. The action here was very limited, and also too easy, especially the 'on-foot' portions of the game. However, I still enjoyed the game overall, especially those levels with Speeder Bike. Yet, I wrote this guide.... just because! ;) Thanks to Vic Rome to help share the burden and he did a great work! ______ _______ | _ \=============================================================/ | | |_) | C O N T R O L S | (---- | / 2.00 \ \ | |\ \----.====================================================.----) | | _| `._____| |_______/ No manual or common sense? I'm here to save your sorry ass. :) ============================================================***X==--- 2.01 FLYING CONTROLS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***X==--- ==========================================================***X==--- Control Stick - Steer Ship -------------------------- Just the standard motion feature. Tilt the stick up to lead the ship's nose forward, making it dip down. Moving the stick down will cause the aircraft to ascend. Turning (left/right) is accessible here, too. A Button - Fire Primary Weapon ------------------------------ For the most part, your primary weapon will be lasers. (Only one exception to that rule, I believe - TIE Bomber) Holding down A will release a steady stream of lasers, but it can be deceiving. It can easily mess your accuracy up if you're not careful enough AND it isn't as powerful if you TAP it continuously, resulting in a 'linked' laser combination. If you do this instead, your lasers will be a tad more powerful. B Button - Lock-On/Fire Secondary Weapon ---------------------------------------- Your secondary weapon are varied, but all of them are more powerful than the primary weapon. To use it, just tap B once to fire. If you have attained the 'homing' upgrade for the secondary weapon you're using right now, pressing B will turn your cross-hairs into a diamond instead. If you catch an enemy ship WITHIN the diamond, it will be locked-on. Fire B again to let 'er rip! (Exceptions: Proton Bombs, Sonic Mines and Tow Cables) B Button (Hold) - Ion Cannon ---------------------------- Ion Cannon is used to disable certain enemy objects. You WILL use it through- out the game several times if you want to complete the game. Just HOLD the button until the cross-hairs turn BLUE and release to fire. You can hold, hold, and hold until you want to fire it. (ONLY available on Y-Wing, B-Wing, and TIE Hunter) X Button - Switch Camera Modes ------------------------------ Just tap once to switch between the Cockpit View Mode and the Chase View Mode. In the Cockpit View Mode, use the C-Stick to look around. Y Button - Turn Targeting Computer On/Off ----------------------------------------- With this, you can see where your friendlies and enemies and targets much easier. The allies are marked green, enemies marked purple, and objectives/ dangerous enemies yellow. ***If you don't have the targeting computer UP- GRADE, you have to HOLD the button down to let it stay up. Once you get the upgrade, you can just tap and leave it up there.*** R Trigger - Speed the Craft Up (Turbo) -------------------------------------- Just press the R all of the way to give your craft a boost. There will be some time before it can fully re-charge its boosters before you can do it again, though. L Trigger - Slow the Craft Down (Brake) --------------------------------------- 'Nuff said. D-Pad - Commands ---------------- From time to time, you will see a D-Pad figure on the top right of your screen. On the buttons, there are specific commands. Press the button accordingly to give the command. C-Stick - Move Camera in the Cockpit View Mode ---------------------------------------------- Yea, that's pretty much it. However, if you're using the Millennium Falcon, you can use this to fire the rear laser turret. Pretty cool, no? Z Button - Roll the Craft ------------------------- WTF? Who cares? Yea, I know. Just HOLD the button down and press left/right on the Control Stick and there ya go. I never really needed it, anyway. Start Button - Pause -------------------- Er... ============================================================***X==--- 2.02 ON-FOOT CONTROLS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***X==--- ==========================================================***X==--- Unlike the controls for flying, I'm not going to give you a detailed explanation for every command.

Bottom Right: Your weapons. A is the primary weapon, and B is the secondary weapon. As for the secondary weapons, there usually will be a number next to it indicating the remaining number of the missiles (or whatever) you have left. ============================================================***X==--- 3.02 POWER-UPS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***X==--- ==========================================================***X==--- There are power-ups scattered throughout the game, but I won't tell you what they will do.

Yes, like the second installment of the series, Rogue Leader, you have to complete the Tatooine Training in all four times of the day to receive a worthy prize. Naboo Starfighter once again? Of course. Here are the stats for the various training missions: Time - Must be under 40 minutes Number of Lessons Completed - including On Foot, T-16, Landspeeder, AT-ST, Swoop Bike, Battle [Sandcrawler] tutorials - 29 in all Number of Bonus Items Found - 7, all while on T-16 Beggar's Canyon Race - Must complete and win 3 times, up to Hard difficulty Droid Hunt - The AT-ST lesson, complete it thrice, up to Hard difficulty Craft unlocked - Landspeeder, AT-ST, Swoop Bike, T-16 Skyhopper Overview ======== Character: Luke Skywalker Starting Aircraft: None Possible Alternates: T-16 Skyhopper, Swoop Bike, Landspeeder, AT-ST Upgrade: None Difficulty: 1/5 Homestead Objectives ==================== - Complete all tutorial lessons. - Find your way to the top of the homestead. - Use the available craft to access other areas of Tatooine. T-16 Skyhopper Objectives ========================= - Complete all tutorial lessons. - Win the EASY Beggar's Canyon race. - Win the MEDIUM Beggar's Canyon race. - Win the HARD Beggar's Canyon race. - Win the dogfight against Fixer. - Find all bonus items. Landspeeder Objectives ====================== - Complete all tutorial lessons. - Race to Tocshe station. Tocshe Station Objectives ========================= - Complete all tutorial lessons. - Win the EASY droid hunt. - Win the MEDIUM droid hunt. - Win the HARD droid hunt. Return to Homestead Objectives ============================== - Complete all tutorial lessons. - Clear all jump symbols. - Race to the Sandcrawler. Sandcrawler Objectives ====================== - Complete all tutorial lessons. Walkthrough =========== Homestead ========= You start off as Luke in the homestead. Run towards the first orange marker to reveal another four markers. Go through each one to learn about rolling, jumping, ducking, and viewing objectives. Once that's done move on to the marker near the door and use the C-stick to open the door. Once on top, choose either the landspeeder or T-16 Skyhopper to go into another set of objectives. T-16 Skyhopper ============== If you chose the T-16 Skyhopper you'll get to fly around Tatooine and complete objectives. Follow the orange wedge from marker to marker until you've completed all of the objectives in the area. Once you're done, you'll be pulled into a race through Beggar's Canyon. These Beggar's Canyon races are simple. Just stay to the left the entire time, and take the high shortcuts. You'll lose if you fly too high, but all you need is enough height to clear the shortcuts over the canyon walls. There are three difficulties for this race, but all three are mad easy. Find the start point on the left side of the area. Fixer will be pretty pissed off if you beat him in the first race; so mad that he'll challenge you to a dogfight! But hey, no worries. He's as bad at shooting as he is at racing, so fly away a short distance and line your ship with his. Unleash a couple of streams of fire to take him out. Well, you're just about done. All that remains is to find all of the bonus items. Just follow the orange wedge to each item to easily complete the objective. Oh, and when you find the sandcrawler make sure to destroy it with linked lasers (tap the A button every half a second) to find R2-D2. Landspeeder =========== If you chose to do the landspeeder, this is where you'll end up. It's not too difficult to navigate, so just follow the instructions and get to Tocshe Station at the other end. Tocshe Station ============== Hey there, don't just dream about joining the evil Empire. LIVE IT!!! Here you get to actually try out one of those two-legged bad boys known as AT-STs. Your goal is to beat the easy, medium, and hard droid hunts by destroying the required number of droids per time limit. Hold R to walk, though you really don't need to move at all. Just stay put in the middle of the pit and keep your eyes on the screen for any droids that may appear. Accuracy doesn't factor into winning, so go nuts with the blaster and keep shooting until the droids are gone. Return to Homestead =================== So, you're done with Tocshe Station and ready to go back home. Give the swoop bike a whirl if you want to complete the next objectives as easily as possible. So, now you're mission is to clear the 7 jump symbols on the trip back to homestead. All the jumps will have some sort of ramp just before them, and some even require you to take the side paths to reach them. The orange markers will show you the way, but if you get lost I've marked all the jumps with an X. Once you've completed all of the jumps you can go on to do practice some on-foot action at the sandcrawler. It's all pretty basic stuff, so just listen to the instructions and complete all the lessons near the sandcrawler to move on. __________ ____________ / ________ /X \____ / / ___/ \ / / /X __ ___ \ / / / / \___X_______/ \ | X = Jump symbols | | | / | | / / SC = Sandcrawler | | |X | / / / / | |____| | / / ______/ / |_____ | / / / SC____/ \ \___/ / / / \ ____/ | | \X \ | | \ \ HOMESTEAD \ \ _ / / \__ / X / _ \ / / / / / / / / ______ / / / __/ __/ \__/ \_/ / TOCSHE STATION __ / \________X_______/ ============================================================***X==--- 5.02 REVENGE OF THE EMPIRE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***X==--- ==========================================================***X==--- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | Bronze Silver Gold Best Ever | | | | Completion Time 5:30 4:45 4:00 3:55 | | Enemies Destroyed 45 52 60 64 | | Shot Accuracy 38% 45% 65% 67% | | Friendlies Lost 0 0 0 0 | | Lives Lost 2 1 0 0 | | TCE 80% 90% 100% 100% | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Overview ======== Character: Luke Skywalker Starting Aircraft: X-Wing Possible Alternates: Y-Wing Upgrade: Advanced Shields Difficulty: 1/5 Objectives ========== 1. Destroy the Imperial Transports 2. Destroy the Imperial Loader Shuttles 3. Defend the Rebel Transport 4. Find the General 5. Escape with the General ----------- Walkthrough ----------- The opening mission is a fairly simple one, being hosted by the infallible Luke Skywalker. Here you have to shoot down several sitting ducks (Imperial transports and Loaders) then mow down hordes of idiots clad in white. How fun. First, you got yourself a nice, classy X-Wing. All you got to do: find all 7 Imperial Transports that are landing on the surface of Yavin 4. Yeah, just come, see and conquer. The TIEs that are flying all around are not mandatory. If you do the first objective fairly quickly, they won't be able to SCRATCH you. *~*COMPLETED: Objective 1. Destroy the Imperial Transports*~* The second one is ridiculously easy as well. The first three Loader Shuttles are just in the horizon ahead of you, just keep going straight ahead and you should find them soon enough. Just shoot the defenseless shells down. Turn 180 degrees and head to the island (right on the heart of the lake below). Around the coast of the island (the island has a Aztec-like Temple on it, FYI), there's several mini-islands with a cargo hold and AT-ST on it (if there's nothing there, then you're probably in the wrong place or you came too fast-use the orange arrow on your radar to ensure the location). Go ahead and blow the AT-STs (and the holds if you want more kills and better acc. %) to hell. *~*COMPLETED: 2. Destroy the Imperial Loader Shuttles*~* *~*COMPLETED: 3. Defend the Rebel Transport*~* Now time for your first actual on-foot trek! Does it get any harder? You bet! NOT! Bah. Just let the game target the Imperials by itself as you go and fire them away. 3 to 5 hits will take an enemy down. Take your time and bring down each enemy. I can't really help you a lot in this portion of the mission because it's basically the same throughout. When you reach a fairly large hall (after you unlock a door with the C stick), you will face a rather large number of white heads. Just follow the standard procedure and you shall prevail, they're too dumb to kill you. Once you've killed all of them, you've rescued the General! *~*COMPLETED: 4. Find the General*~* Let the General follow you through a newly-opened door, all of the way to the next major hall. Again, take down every stormtrooper one by one. What now? Nothing, you're done. Enjoy the cinema! *~*COMPLETED: 5. Escape with the General*~* -------------------------- Gold/Ace Medal Walkthrough -------------------------- First, I want to say that the Advanced Lasers upgrade is vital to your success for the Gold Medal run. It makes destroying the Transports, Loaders AND the stormtroopers much less time-consuming. It can be attained pretty easily on Luke's second mission, Defiance on Dantooine. Now, onto the actual thing... The first objective... you should know what to do, which is to blow the trans- ports away as fast as possible. Actually, that's what you're supposed to do so do that! Don't forget the fourth transport (it never moves, it was on ground already when the session began), I usually forget that... silly me. As for the second and the third objective... there's some tricks of the trade. The first three carriers doesn't require any trickery except destroying them ASAP. Quickly turn around for the Shuttles with the Chutes and the AT-STs. Ignore and bypass all of the TIEs, and try to find one of the Shuttles BEFORE it even drops the box! It's not that hard to find since it's the only thing that moves like a turtle out there. If you cause the plane to explode, it will take the box AND the AT-ST down with it, rewarding you with a 'triple' kill! Sweet- ness! Do try to do the same thing for one more Shuttle. If not... destroying the chute while it's on the ground is fine as well. Time for the running portion... Tell Wedge to stay right away, he will steal some of your kills if you don't. Now, just kill EVERY stormtrooper as you go. Don't over-shoot, 67% is a HIGH number (the requirement for accuracy). A brief occasional stop here and there is fine, too. Just make you kill everyone with- out any foolish mistakes. As for the main room #1, the one with the General and his right-hand man, I used a quite useful strategy to my success here and the final room: use the radar to find the stormtrooper that's off-screen, somewhere left/right or behind you. I often found myself flustered because I usually left one or two guys behind, thus wasting some precious time going back and re-targeting and shooting. So, just kill the lowest troopers first and move on up. When you score your final kill of the room, you should be ON or BY the stairs on the end! Yeah! Continue to the next major room and repeat the previous strategy. Nothing new this time. If you did everything fairly flawlessly, you should get a time of 3:50 or so. Accuracy is actually the biggest challenge here, so shoot conservatively while being confident (don't get too worried/over-anxious about it). Try your best to NOT miss a shot in the first three objectives (in the air). As for the kills... you should be able to have enough if you tell your wingmen and Wedge to stay away (Flee) ASAP. That's it! Good luck. ------------------------- Upgrade: Advanced Shields ------------------------- Thank god. One of the best upgrades ever to grace this series is in the very first mission and it's simple to find! Just explode the first three Imperial Transports (the first objective) and leave the fourth (on the ground) standing. Instead, fly through its open belly to find the upgrade. Sweet. :) Don't forget to complete the mission to attain it properly. ============================================================***X==--- 5.03 DEFIANCE ON DANTOOINE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***X==--- ==========================================================***X==--- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | Bronze Silver Gold Best Ever | | | | Completion Time 5:10 4:20 4:10 4:05 | | Enemies Destroyed 18 29 38 40 | | Shot Accuracy 20% 30% 42% 56% | | Friendlies Lost 0 0 0 0 | | Lives Lost 2 1 0 0 | | TCE 60% 90% 100% 100% | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Overview ======== Character: Luke Skywalker Starting Aircraft: Speeder Bike Possible Alternates: None Upgrade: Advanced Lasers Difficulty: 2/5 Objectives ========== 1. Reach the Imperial Landing Zone before the Transports Lift Off 2. Stop the Ground Transport that's carrying Tycho 3. Follow Tycho back to the Rebel Landing Point ----------- Walkthrough ----------- A rather compressing one to play around because of the Speeder Bike parts of the journey. The main mission is to get Tycho out and leave with him. So it's like a rescue mission (like 1/2 of the missions -_-)... You might be over- whelmed at first, but your instincts should eventually cope with the speed of the Bike. Practice makes prefect. We're going to start with Objective one, of course... This only consists you zig-zagging through countless pillars of limestone-like towers while shooting the brains of probe droids out. This portion WILL make you look like you're a HARDCORE gamer but it's actually pretty simple. The controls for the bike is smooth and fluid, so you shouldn't have any problems. Just don't hurry up too much, except if you're going for a certain medal, and take your time to shoot and dodge. You may tilt the stick down to propel the bike upwards to avoid some low rocks. Good luck, young Jedi. *~*COMPLETED: 1. Reach the Imperial Landing Zone before the Transports Lift Off*~* The wedge between the double speeder bike encounters: some pointless prodding through the grasses of Dantooine. Actually, it's not pointless, but whatever. You have to chase down the Transport and shoot down by firing the Blasters scattered around the hills. However, there are a stormtrooper stationed on each Blaster so you have to gun down the gunner before you can use it. So go ahead and take over the forest Blaster up front (kill the oncoming soldiers first, of course) and press any direction on your C-Stick. Fire away! When the Transport has flew off-screen, get off and move on to the next one. There are some Bacta Tanks (healing items) near each Blaster guns so if you ever need some, just look in that area. Just keep firing at the Transport while countering its sentry of stormtroopers by eliminating them as well. When the Transport has disappeared, the damsel in distress will have escaped. *~*COMPLETED: 2. Stop the Ground Transport that's carrying Tycho*~* Now it's time for the great escape. All you have to do is follow the path to the very end, where you will meet your saving grace. As for the 'jumps', you just have to press R while you're in the air and press down slightly to pull the nose up for more air time. If you fail to do this, you may lose a life. Say good-bye to a medal ranking if this occurs. You may use some turbos if desired. That's it for now. *~*COMPLETED: 3. Follow Tycho back to the Rebel Landing Point*~* -------------------------- Gold/Ace Medal Walkthrough -------------------------- This could be hard if you just charge at the Gold Medal stats blindly, hoping you'll break in somehow. Chances are... you won't make it. You need to know which areas you need to improve. The hardest stat to yield would be the enemies killed. Time, surprisingly, is not a factor as long you are consistent because the cushion is pretty fair. Onward... The first Speeder Bike run: you just need to press R (turbo) TWICE. When? As soon as possible. Then the rest of the way should be based on the kills count. Anticipate the next probe droid and shoot it down and move on to the next one. Remember that the lasers from the bike goes out in groups of 5 or 6 so tap once, which should be more than enough to take down two droids, to save your accuracy. Time is not a dilemma here, believe me. Stopping the Ground Transport: More time-oriented this time. You have to kill EVERY stormtrooper and enemies (try to kill 1 or 2 droids in the air, too) before you destroy the APC if you want a Gold or an Ace. So, shoot the pigs once they come out of the mouth of the APC and fire at while it moves away. Then, move on to the next one, etc. When you reach the fourth gunner, make sure you DON'T fire at the APC before you kill all three guys that comes out of it (after its fourth stop). Then you may proceed the obliteration. The second and the final Bike run: Meh. Just Turbo all of the way. Your Final Time stat relies on this the most. Just goooooooooo! ------------------------ Upgrade: Advanced Lasers ------------------------ Just keep riding the left side of the second portion of the Speeder Bike trail and you should eventually reach this upgrade at a thin bridge (the left path of the second fork). Simple. ============================================================***X==--- 5.04 DEFENDERS ON RALLTIIR ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***X==--- ==========================================================***X==--- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | Bronze Silver Gold Best Ever | | | | Completion Time 5:00 4:05 3:30 2:55 | | Enemies Destroyed 17 20 25 100(!) | | Shot Accuracy 25% 32% 48% 60% | | Friendlies Lost 2 1 0 0 | | Lives Lost 2 1 0 0 | | TCE 88% 95% 100% 100% | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Overview ======== Character: LUKE SKYWALKER Starting Aircraft: SNOWSPEEDER Possible Alternates: NONE Upgrade: ADVANCED TARGETING COMPUTER Difficulty: 2/5 Objectives ========== 1. Destroy Imperials Threatening the Shield Generator ----------- Walkthrough ----------- Defenders on Ralltiir has a fun, strategic feel to it. The sole goal here is to simply destroy any potential threat to the besieged shield generator. However, I have noticed that the objective (only one!) suddenly ends only when I have destroyed every AT-AT (the big four-legger). Therefore, I am going to assume that you only need to destroy all AT-AT to complete this piece of cake. There are APCs, AT-ST (a LOT of them!) and several AT-ATs flanking the shield from three bridges. You will see one once you start the game. You could manually laborize your thumb and shoot every enemy by your laser fire, or... just get by the shield, while staying low, and find a bomb laying on the ground. When the aircraft passes over it, the 'B' icon will come up. Press B ASAP and you will have captured the bomb. Find a bridge (any. any one with a lot of baddies is preferred, though) and 'land' on it to allow the contact bet- ween the bomb and the bridge to occur. The bridge and every enemy will go bye- bye. KA-BOOM! Muaha. You could repeat this two more for the remaining bridges, I don't care. Now, after you have bombed the desired bridges (should be at least two), you have to destroy the remaining enemies on the mainland. Fortunately, that only includes the AT-AT because the game only records the wiping out of AT-AT race as success for Objective One. Yay. Snowspeeder's Tow Cable works fine, but the alternate method is MUCH more preferred. Take yet another bomb and find an AT- AT. Slow down and let the bomb hang down. Ensure that the bomb would hit the head of the behemoth. Down she goes. Repeat until you're king. *~*COMPLETED: 1. Destroy Imperials Threatening the Shield Generator*~* -------------------------- Gold/Ace Medal Walkthrough -------------------------- Thankfully, the Gold Medal status does not possess the devilish grin on the Ace Medal... the Kill Count. Therefore, it is essentially an 'upgraded' Silver Medal. If you got the Silver Medal, consider Gold yours. First, you have to understand the tricks behind this medal. You have to learn how to shut the bridges down effectively, which means you have to do it quick or the enemies will run onto the mainland. To do this, you have to pick up two bombs, one at a time, and use them on the bridges ASAP. This will rack your kills up. When you're done with that part, search for some more bombs and AT-ATs because your only concern right now is to complete the level before it goes too long. Destroying every AT-AT will sabotage the mission... One last thing... if you need some bonus kills, just destroy an APC, it yields SEVEN kills because there are 6 stormtroopers sitting like lame ducks inside. *evil grin* ------------------------------------ Upgrade: Advanced Targeting Computer ------------------------------------ Immediately turn left from the STARTING POINT and keep follow the moat/ravine until you reach the next suspension bridge. See the Imperial Transport at bay? Destroy it and the upgrade shall be revealed. It's all yours for your taking. Like candy from a kid, only it's from a 300-pound one. ============================================================***X==--- 5.05 EXTRACTION FROM RALLTIIR ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***X==--- ==========================================================***X==--- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | Bronze Silver Gold Best Ever | | | | Completion Time 4:30 4:20 4:00 3:50 | | Enemies Destroyed 88 95 100 105 | | Shot Accuracy 32% 38% 45% 55% | | Friendlies Lost 3 1 0 0 | | Lives Lost 2 1 0 0 | | TCE 90% 98% 100% 100% | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Overview ======== Character: LUKE SKYWALKER Starting Aircraft: AT-ST Possible Alternates: NONE Upgrade: HOMING PROTON TORPEDOES Difficulty: 2/5 Objectives ========== 1. Clear the way to the Blockade Runner 2. Regain Control of the Blockade Runner ----------- Walkthrough ----------- After Luke's invasion of an AT-ST, you now assume the position of the command- er-in-chief of an AT-ST. You might be surprised on how agile and mobile this machine can be. The accuracy isn't perfect, but that shouldn't be a concern. While on the AT-ST, you should just fire at EVERYTHING that moves because that is what you're supposed to do. APCs, AT-STs, droids, and even the puny Imperial soldiers will cross your path and attempt to intercept you and the irreplaceable scientists. I say just blow everything up. As for the APCs, try to shoot around the mouth (front) first because there are some gunners on it and it might shoot at you. If you, somehow, get to an APC before it can even open its mouth to release some stormtroopers... DO IT! Give them hell! The soldiers still stranded inside will be in puppy-heaven. :) The final stretch could pose a few problems for you because of the big number of AT-STs waiting. The best way to conquer the final marks would be attacking them, one by one, from afar. Use the right wall (before the square) as your protection... To complete Objective One, you have to destroy EVERY enemy inside the final circle, including the stormtroopers behind the gunners. (No detailed walkthrough for this because it is straight-forward. You should know that already) *~*COMPLETED: 1. Clear the way to the Blockade Runner*~* The on-foot portion is just an another ridiculously retarded 'follow the radar and win' mission. Just follow the radar and the path, while showing the troopers who's the boss, until you see a tripod gun. If you're low on health, backtrack and hang a right (if coming from the tripod gun) to find a narrow corridor with a Bacta Tank for a free re-fill. Return to the gun and wait for the last cavalries to come. After shooting all of them down, the level ends. *~*COMPLETED: 2. Regain Control of the Blockade Runner*~* -------------------------- Gold/Ace Medal Walkthrough -------------------------- Much like the majority of the gold/ace medals, this one comes down to practice; replaying the mission over and over until you develop a routine. The friendlies, lives, and targeting computer efficiency aren't even an issue, so I'll only go over the first three requirements. The completion time comes down whether or not you pause when fighting enemies in the AT-ST. Stopping to kill everything simply does not work. You can slow down as you approach, but don't be afraid to continue walking as you pummel the larger enemies such as the APCs and other AT-STs. The point is to keep moving. The same applies for the segment in the blockade runner, though I doubt you'll have to slow down at all during the part. Make sure to kill the squads by locking on and firing with a missile (that also helps with accuracy, but more on that later). Also remember that each one of those APCs comes with it's own squad of troops. Wait for them to appear and kill them with lasers, then use a missile to quickly take out the tank and save time. Killing all of the troops should raise the kill count significantly. Also, after shooting a commander and finding two stormtroopers in the blockade runner, take the right path. There are two more lone stormtroopers for you to kill. The accuracy will likely be the toughest requirement to meet because of the rather inaccurate AT-ST lasers. This can be helped by killing a troop of stormtroopers with a single missile. You must have lock-on missiles to do this, and once you do just lock-on to one of the stormtroopers in the group and fire. This should take out the group and greatly help out with the accuracy. And, naturally, it's best to have a good aim. Don't go spray lasers everywhere; control your shots, and shoot in controlled bursts of fire. Let go of the A button if you're moving from one target to the next. That's good to remember when you get to the E-web blaster at the end of the blockade runner. -------------------------------- Upgrade: Homing Proton Torpedoes -------------------------------- Follow and listen here closely... Start off with the AT-ST and head to the left to take down the first APC. Continue on (a droid and a few troopers will host a skirmish with you on the way) and take down the next AT-ST. DO NOT move further. Take your time and look to the right crevasse. The upgrade is cleverly placed in the alcove. ============================================================***X==--- 5.06 BATTLEFIELD HOTH ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***X==--- ==========================================================***X==--- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | Bronze Silver Gold Best Ever | | | | Completion Time 6:00 5:40 5:30 5:20 | | Enemies Destroyed 40 50 60 70 | | Shot Accuracy 15% 17% 20% 29% | | Friendlies Lost 2 1 0 0 | | Lives Lost 2 1 0 0 | | TCE 70% 85% 90% 100% | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Overview ======== Character: LUKE SKYWALKER Starting Aircraft: ON FOOT Possible Alternates: NONE Upgrade: ADVANCED CLUSTER MISSILES Difficulty: 2/5 Objectives ========== 1. Take Out the Two Lead AT-ATs 2. Get to the Tauntaun 3. Follow Derlin back to the Echo Base 4. Destroy the three AT-STs 5. Protect the three Rebel Transports 6. Destroy the TIE Bombers ----------- Walkthrough ----------- Anyone remember the Battle of Hoth on Star Wars Rogue Leader (part 2)? That was GOLD! Gold as the best! BoH had you flying around the battlefield, taking out AT-STs, some AT-ATs with the Tow Cable, and finally a nifty dog fight at the end. This one has the fairly same ending (dogfight with the Bombers) but you're going to be on the ground instead of being in the air for the most of the war. The first objective requires you to single-handedly take down two monstrous AT-ATs with your trusty light saber. To do this, get under the AT-AT and click the 'C' button at any direction. Ride the rope up. When at the top, the screen will flash with a green 'A'. Tap this button to break open an opening. Press B to bring out a bomb. Throw the bomb in and KA-BOOM! How fun... Repeat for the next AT-AT up there. Be aware that you can still die from the recoil of the fall of AT-AT. Also, it is wise to shoot down the idiots that's following you on the battlefield. Anyhow... *~*COMPLETED: 1. Take Out the Two Lead AT-ATs*~* After your David-vs-Goliath epic battle, continue moving past the AT-ATs to find a tiny outpost surrounded by some troops. Eliminate-date them. Hop on the Tauntaun (step into the Rebel icon). *~*COMPLETED: 2. Get to the Tauntaun*~* All you have to do is to follow Derlin south. You still may use your blaster to shoot some troopers on the way. I believe if your Tauntaun successfully step on a live one, you will be rewarded with a kill. You know what to do. *~*COMPLETED: 3. Follow Derlin back to the Echo Base*~* After disembarking, you will face several Imperials seeking to stop you for once and all. Don't let them and get onto the E-Web blaster. A squadron of TIEs will pass over you (you CAN shoot down one or two, it's possible. I have done it several during my Gold Medal search, but not important here). Then, three Imperial Transports will land on the ground RIGHT FRONT of you, leaving off a crate each. They will yield a few troopers and an AT-ST. Your only concern would be the AT-ST, as stated on the objective, but taking down the humans isn't a bad idea either. You also can destroy a crate before it even opens by anticipating for the Imperial Loader to arrive and fire it at the air. You will still be rewarded with multiple kills. By the way, if you want the upgrade, just scoot over to the remains of the first crate to find the reward. You have to do it before you destroy all three AT-STs, though. More information below, under the appropriate section. *~*COMPLETED: 4. Destroy the three AT-STs*~* Time for the final battle! For the jewels! Objectives 5 and 6 are linked so think them as one objective instead. You don't really have to worry about your transports because you have to destroy its main threat, the TIE Bombers, which are GLUED to them. If you're looking for them, they're always by the Transports. Regular TIEs are not mandatory for your success. Just seek the TIEs and shoot all of them down. The cloud that vapors around may provide you with a problem, but just bypass it by going through it. The Transports will be on the upper side. Attaining the Advanced Lasers and Homing Proton Torps isn't a bad idea. *~*COMPLETED: 5. Protect the three Rebel Transports*~* *~*COMPLETED: 6. Destroy the TIE Bombers*~* -------------------------- Gold/Ace Medal Walkthrough -------------------------- Well then, good ol' Hoth. This mission has been in every one of Factor 5's Rogue Squadron games, and each version of this classic battle has been put together pretty well. For the first part across the snow field, NEVER stop running. Hold Up the entire time to preserve speed. Get to each AT-AT and immediately tap C-stick, then immediately start tapping A to bust open the hatch, then quickly adjust the aim and tap B to launch the thermal detonator. I also recommend killing all ground troops along the way by tapping the A button every half second, and only when there are troops present. DO NOT shoot if there is nothing to shoot. Run towards the tauntaun after destroying the second AT-AT and kill all of the snowtroopers, as well as the probe droids. Don't waste time by stopping to make sure every one of them is dead. Simply start shooting as you approach the tauntaun. Once again, watch where you shoot! If you shoot too quickly you may lose accuracy. Start running forward once you have the tauntaun and shoot as many snowtroopers as you can. They die with only one or two bolts each, so tap the A button steadily and not TOO quickly, to save accuracy. Shoot all of the snowtroopers at the end (again, save accuracy!) and hop behind the mounted laser. Aim for the right and start shooting the crates as soon as they land. Those shots will help immensely with the accuracy. Start shooting the AT-STs when they walk out but make sure not to miss any shots, or as few as possible. The final segment with the three transports will also be the toughest. Fly forward and immediately search for a group of TIE bombers. Ignore all other TIEs for now and use your lock-on proton torpedoes to take out the first squadron you meet. Keep using your proton torps on the bombers until you're out, then start flying back and forth between the three transports. You can't lose a single transport, so try not to spend too much time destroying one squadron of bombers. However, you also don't want to lose accuracy by holding down the A button until you hit something. Line up your shots by flying from behind, and control your bursts. Once you have a few bombers to go you can kill any TIEs that cross your path, but don't waste time hunting them. Also, hunting TIEs in the clouds is futile. Fly straight up until you're over the clouds. ---------------------------------- Upgrade: Advanced Cluster Missiles ---------------------------------- Can only be found during the fourth objective (Destroy the three AT-STs). Use your gunner to get rid of the first CRATE. Not the AT-ST. The CRATE, the first to the right. Underneath its ruins lies the upgrade. You have to get this before you kill all THREE AT-STs. You can get it with one or two AT-ST destroyed, making your venture easier. ============================================================***X==--- 5.07 TRIALS OF A JEDI ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***X==--- ==========================================================***X==--- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | Bronze Silver Gold Best Ever | | | | Completion Time 6:40 6:00 4:30 4:00 | | Enemies Destroyed 15 18 22 31 | | Shot Accuracy 100% 100% 100% 100% | | Friendlies Lost 0 0 0 0 | | Lives Lost 2 1 0 0 | | TCE 70% 85% 100% 100% | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Overview ======== Character: LUKE SKYWALKER Starting Aircraft: ON FOOT Possible Alternates: NONE Upgrade: NONE!

Follow Yoda back to the X-Wing 5. Use the Force to Raise your X-Wing from the Swamp ----------- Walkthrough ----------- After the recommendation of Yoda from Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luke travels to Dagobah. Unfortunately, he is reckless enough to get his X-Wing stranded in a mushy swamp. It is your job to find Yoda and raise your X-Wing to salvation. I will not hand your silly ass along the level like a baby-sitter. Chances are that you won't be able to follow my directions clearly. 'Walk to the left, jump twice, then kill some, and jump some more'. Makes any sense? Nah. So, I'm going to give you some tips and stuff to LEND you a hand. That's all. Now, Yoda will escort you to his home on the other side of the bog. Follow the orange cones to the next obstacle. You will have to jump over several streams, some stones, and kill revolting spiders. Ack. Just be calm and make the jumps solidly. I know, I know... the controls here are HORRIBLE, but bear with it. This level has one of the EASIEST golds and aces in the game anyway. As for the spiders, they reproduce from its den/hill, where they come out. So kill the existing spiders and use your saber to destroy its homes to prevent the species' continuous growth. *~*COMPLETED: 1. Find your Way to the Strange Creature's Home*~* When you have to execute Yoda's tutorials, just follow the directions. Hold down B to use the Force, which will deflect blaster lasers (will provide VERY useful in the following level, the Sarlacc Pit). The double jump is frightening simple and it's worth an objective! o_O Just tap X twice. *~*COMPLETED: 2. Complete Yoda's Lightsaber Blocking Tutorial*~* *~*COMPLETED: 3. Complete Yoda's Double-Jump Tutorial*~* (Reminder: you got 8 minutes between the tutorials and the end) After the tutorials, follow the path (use the orange cones as your guide) back to the X-Wing. The obstacles will provide you some harder challenges, but it shouldn't cost you too much lives. Every time you fall into a pit or river, it cost you a fragment of health so don't worry. However, if a moving slab of rock hits you in the valley, it WILL kill you. Double-Jump over them to avoid death. The infamous river with two floating creatures is your last leg before confronting Yoda for the final time. Wait for the first one to appear and jump over to it. Jump to the next one ASAP. Then you know what to do. *~*COMPLETED: 4. Follow Yoda back to the X-Wing*~* The fifth objective will see you attempting to revive your sorry, cheap X-Wing. Just tap B as FAST as you can. You will have 20 seconds, which is a PLENTY of time. Enjoy the cinema afterwards! Come back for an easy Gold/Ace! *~*COMPLETED: 5.

Automatic 100% accuracy. Anyway, you just decimate the lone guy next to you. The snipers on Jabba's ships will begin to fire at you without mercy. Face them and hold down B to use the FORCE. <3 The lasers will deflect to a safer place, yay. Wait for the next 'airboat' to come around and jump over to it. Kill two more and repeat your 1337 deflecting skillz. Yet again, you have to wait for the next ship to come around and repeat. However, the next ship isn't as nice as you might think because it won't stop for you. :((( Oh well. Time your jump and land on the next ship. Conquer the foes and jump to the final one. All you have to do is to hold up your sword like a Jedi until you are within a jump's distance from the ship of Jabba.

Disable any fleeing Imperial Transports 2. Provide Cover for the Rebel Recovery Crews **3. Locate and Rescue Hobbie **Must obtain the silver-medal statistics for the first two objective to access the third objective. ----------- Walkthrough ----------- Looks like the game developers and some players are quite frustrated on this level somehow... because the time allowed for the medals are outrageously tall for my tastes. But I guess you'll see what you can do first. This one has a mere mini-dogfight with some TIE fighters and several Imperial Transports. If you succeed in taking home a Silver Medal for the first two objectives, you are rewarded with the third objective and a possible gold/ ace opportunity AND a chance to get the only upgrade here. First, you have to be lazy and wait for the Imperials to strike first, meaning that you have to wait for them to reveal THEIR weakness. That is, their Trans- ports. They will appear out of the Space Station, which should be obvious to you. However, they (two of those) will not take off for a while, so take some time searching and eliminating some TIEs while the Rebel Transports will seek a disabled Imperial Transport to prey upon. The TIEs here are incredibly predictable because they will go around in circles and go DIRECTLY at YOU, like a joust battle. Just go around in a slow circle and you should see a steady stream of TIEs coming. Just line them up and fire them down. Thus the easy reception of the Kills counter. After the second cutscene, you will see an orange marker directing you to the OTHER side of the Station. What is over there? Your first Imperial Transport, of course! Zoom over there and hold down B to activate the Ion Cannon. Fire THREE (yes, THREE) Ions at the body of the Transport to successfully disable it. Now the Rebel Recovery Crew will come over and seize the control. Return to your TIE-happy-hunting, but it won't be long. The second and the final Imperial Transport will appear (no cutscene, just pay attention to the orange marker on the top) and it's your job to make it into fodder for Rebels. *~*COMPLETED: 1. Disable any fleeing Imperial Transports*~* With the main concern solved, the Rebels will take their time to leave the Station. Fortunately, there aren't a much threat to its destruction. Just seek for remaining TIEs (use homing proton torps for far-away TIEs) and take out some cannons on the Space Station for easy kills. Just take a glance towards the Rebel Crew to make sure everything's alright. *~*COMPLETED: 2. Provide Cover for the Rebel Recovery Crews*~* If you had, indeed, attained the Silver Medal numbers on the original objectives, you will be given an extra objective to play around. Do not grieve because if you lose ANY lives here, you won't see it being tallied up on the final ranking! Also, the TIE bomber, your new aircraft, has the BEST firing mechanics in the entire game! It has replenishing HOMING missiles as its PRIMARY weapon! Just hold down A to show up the crosshairs. Slide the crosshairs over the targets and they will be locked-on. You can lock-on MULTIPLE targets at once. Release the button to watch them perish! Fun as hell. Anyway, just follow the lone canyon until you find a Rebel icon engraved on the valley's end. Remember, just fire like crazy because the ammo will come back with time! Yay! *~*COMPLETED: 3. Locate and Rescue Hobbie*~* -------------------------- Gold/Ace Medal Walkthrough -------------------------- The stats for the Bronze and Silver Medals are quite steep in your favor, but the Gold/Ace stats aren't. They're actually pretty tight. The Completion Time and Enemies Destroyed might be your main problems, but the Accuracy could be a pain in the ass, too, if you're not being careful. The first part, just hit it off by hunting down easy TIEs ASAP. DO NOT waste time on those dumb-ass far-away TIEs that requires TIME to locate. Just pick off the closest TIEs you can find. Once the first Imperial Transport comes out, disable it quickly (same goes with the second). Now with the disabling portion done, you have to rack up more kills. The cannons provide to be great accuracy boosters (use your torps) and easy kills. Use that as the alternative when the TIEs stop coming. One more thing for this part: complete the objectives (disabling) QUICKLY, because the more time you take, the longer this part will be because the Rebels would have to wait for you to disable. At the second portion (rescuing Hobbie), fly as straight as you can. You'd be surprised how much time swerving in your path takes up. However, you HAVE to kill AS MANY turrets and blasters as you possibly can. Don't kill them one by one, just lock them on by groups and release the missiles at once. The Kills counter relies on this greatly because you CANNOT get at least 97 on the first objectives alone. ------------------------------ Upgrade: Advanced Proton Bombs ------------------------------ Might require a run before you can finally find it. It's in the LAST dome tower before Hobbit. You won't know which one is the last tower until it's too late on your first run so you would probably get it on your second run. Just dip down to the tower and execute a surgery on it, blowing the dome wide open (with BOMBS). Dip down further, into the body, for the upgrade. ============================================================***X==--- 5.10 RELICS OF GEONOSIS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***X==--- ==========================================================***X==--- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | Bronze Silver Gold Best Ever | | | | Completion Time 8:50 7:25 6:40 6:15 | | Enemies Destroyed 115 126 135 165 | | Shot Accuracy 42% 53% 60% 70% | | Friendlies Lost 1 1 0 0 | | Lives Lost 2 1 0 0 | | TCE 86% 92% 100% 100% | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Overview ======== Character: WEDGE ANTILLES Starting Aircraft: X-WING Possible Alternates: Y-WING; B-WING; A-WING; MILLENNIUM FALCON; SLAVE 1; STARFIGHTER; TIE BOMBER; TIE HUNTER Upgrade: ADVANCED HOMING PROTON TORPEDOES Difficulty: 2/5 Objectives ========== 1.

Find the Jedi Starfighter's Hyperdrive Booster Ring ----------- Walkthrough ----------- A moderately lengthy trip forth and back for Wedge, partly because he had to recover R5 back at Geonosis. X-Wing is a solid choice (the starting choice) for this one but that doesn't mean that it's the favored one. Slave 1 and Naboo Starfighter is... but we won't worry about that right now. You need to find the solo escort and avert the dangers that it could pose. It's not that hard, actually... Just follow the orange marker up and you should see it after 5 seconds or something, it's like the biggest thing out there. Tons of TIEs are marching right behind it so if you want some kills or security, it's the time to do it. If you have the Homing Proton Torps, you would find it useful to shoot down several TIEs with those fabulous Torps. Either way, you can just escape narrowly by just firing at the Escort from behind (blasters are afoot all around the sides). A cut-scene will appear RIGHT AWAY once you destroy it. And I mean RIGHT AWAY. Therefore, if you're low on health, you can just escape by firing Torps at it to destroy it. *~*COMPLETED: 1. Find the Escort Carrier*~* *~*COMPLETED: 2. Destroy the Escort Carrier*~* Alas, we are on the surface of the dusty, misty Geonosis. You have to follow the U-shaped path (alongside the droid, R5), eliminating any foes on the way, to find and dig the sunken Jedi Starfighter. So let's begin. The enemies here comes in rather large groups so it would be pretty wise if you used some grenades... saves time, ups accuracy, and even kills more. Otherwise, just run, run, run and shoot, shoot, shoot. There are several Bacta Tanks on the turn first turn and the final vector (with the E-Web Blasters) so use them well. Another hint: kill them all from afar, they might not notice you, allowing you to fire at them one-directional. You could use the E-Web Blasters themselves, they're quite handy if you need harmless destruction. The final stretch (after you find the Old Republic Ship) might be the hardest because you will, frequently, find yourself with low health. My suggestion: jump/hop all of the way to the E-Web Blasters at the end, where there's a lot of Bacta Tanks waiting patiently for you. Take them all and turn around and continue your melee! :) Finally at the final corner? Good. Hop onto the seat of the E-Web Blaster, facing north, and gun down the fleeting Old Republic Ship. You won't be able to SEE it crash (I don't know why...) so pay attention to the far wall/corner, you could see the debris and explosion from the crash if you fired at the Ship long enough. Scoot over to the Jedi Starfighter (rebel icon) and out to complete the third objective. Onto the final ones! *~*COMPLETED: 3. Protect R5*~* *~*COMPLETED: 4. Destroy the Old Republic Gunship*~* Remember the first objective... you had to destroy an escort? Now you have to destroy TWO of those! Just proceed as normally, BUT NEVER approach the Escorts from the side or front. The Starfighter's shields is quite weak and I won't be surprised if your ship gets shot down within seconds of approach. Just be patient and shoot at their backside. You can even use the uber-powerful Sonic Mines to make the process faster. Again, there are a ton of TIEs countering your every move. You have time after the destruction of the escorts to fool around for some more kills if you wish. *~*COMPLETED: 5. Destroy both Escort Carriers*~* Follow the orange marker to the Jedi Booster Ring to finish the level! *~*COMPLETED: 6. Protect the Rebel Frigate*~* *~*COMPLETED: 7. Find the Jedi Starfighter's Hyperdrive Booster Ring*~* -------------------------- Gold/Ace Medal Walkthrough -------------------------- After much struggle and futile attempts at the Gold Medal for RoG, I referred to the boards (OMG, kill me!) and found a rather simple method at this. You can simply equip yourself with Slave 1 or the incomparable Naboo Starfighter and hold down 'Z' (who've guessed! Even *I* never used this in RL2!) to turn around 360 degrees. During this time, fire several rounds of Sonic Mines at the squads of TIEs. Make sure you fire at the oncoming charges of TIEs, of course. It should kill a LOT, if not most, of TIEs for your coveted 135 (or 165, if you're gunning for the Ace) kills. I find the rest of the game to be relatively unchanged, strategy-wise. Just make sure you do everything quick, including the submission of the troops on Geonosis (use bombs). *Naboo Starfighter is preferred for obvious reasons: better shields and speed. :P **As for the Ace Medal, time is problematic so don't spend too long using those Mines. ----------------------------------------- Upgrade: Advanced Homing Proton Torpedoes ----------------------------------------- Found in the fallen escape pod ON Geonosis. You know the second turn, just before the stretch with Old Republic Gunship? Look to the left to find a pod with smoke coming out. Go over to the opening and you should obtain the upgrade. ============================================================***X==--- 5.11 DECEPTION AT DESTRILLION ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***X==--- ==========================================================***X==--- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | Bronze Silver Gold Best Ever | | | | Completion Time 5:25 4:30 4:00 3:30 | | Enemies Destroyed 18 25 27 32 | | Shot Accuracy 10% 22% 36% 50% | | Friendlies Lost 1 0 0 0 | | Lives Lost 2 1 0 0 | | TCE 86% 95% 100% 100% | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Overview ======== Character: WEDGE ANTILLES Starting Aircraft: A-WING Possible Alternates: Y-WING; B-WING; X-WING; MILLENNIUM FALCON; SLAVE 1; STARFIGHTER; TIE BOMBER; TIE HUNTER Upgrade: ADVANCED SPREAD PROTON BOMBS Difficulty: 3/5 Objectives ========== 1. Fly through the Energy Tunnels 2. Destroy the TIE Hunters inside the Energy Field 3. Locate the Imperial Research Facility 4. Destroy the Targeting Relays ----------- Walkthrough ----------- With the speedy A-Wing, this level's pretty simple. Start off by speeding through the energy beams (why are they there ANYWAY!), you can brake if you don't feel comfortable going through. There's no set time so don't worry. After a while, you will find yourself in a big oval with a station in the middle. You have to take out EVERY TIE that resides right here. Strangely enough, some TIEs will commit useless kamikaze suicide, crashing into the wall of the field. There are about 35 TIEs here, but you will probably get to kill about 25~30. If you have the Homing Concussion Missiles, you're in luck! With those, destroying TIEs is a clinch (and Concussion Missiles regenerates, too!). If not... just dog-fight, but you're going to die (a VERY good chance- A-Wing's shields aren't exceptional). Take your time and try to catch them from behind, because they have a fairly good aim and can damage you frequently if they see you up front. After destroying every single one, follow the direction to the open energy gap for another energy-bar-dodging sequence. *~*COMPLETED: 2. Destroy the TIE Hunters inside the Energy Field*~* the second energy-bar sequence is much more together because you have to deal with MORE bars with tight turns. I'd HIGHLY recommend to you that you should SLOW DOWN unless you're going for a certain time (medal). If you run out of lives here, just try again, it won't take long. You need practice anyway, because you have to literally speed through the entire thing if you want a Gold Medal here. *~*COMPLETED: 1. Fly through the Energy Tunnels*~* *~*COMPLETED: 3. Locate the Imperial Research Facility*~* Yep, you've found the Research Facility, your desired rendezvous point. The facility itself is ubiquitous, spanning the entire island. However, you have to destroy the dishes (targeting relays) to disable the giant 'Super Laser' in the middle (will destroy the Laser on the following level - Guns of Dubrillion). The dishes are protected by a shield for each. Follow the marker over to the first dish and creep over up and down to take a peek at the dish underneath the shield. Charge your Ion Cannon up and fire one. Do it again and the shield should be repelled. TAP B to switch to Bombing Mode and... Bombs Away! Repeat for all three dishes. After you've destroyed all three, the level ends. *~*COMPLETED: 4. Destroy the Targeting Relays*~* -------------------------- Gold/Ace Medal Walkthrough -------------------------- Man... This is NEARLY impossible to execute without the N-1! I have tried it over and over again with the A-Wing and X-Wing, but only the A-Wing, if equipped with Advanced Blasters, Advanced Shields, and Homing Concussion Missiles (from Guns of Dubrillion, get that at once!) seems possible to me. And it finally did work for me. FINALLY. Seriously, I say... save yourself the trouble I had and get the N-1, which has the famed homing cluster missiles, and fire the TIEs down like they're butter in an oven. So get the N-1 by completing Tatooine Training in all four times of the day, and get the Gold (and Ace, it's pretty easy too!) that way. Make sure you don't die or something during the Y-Wing briefing, though. ----------------------------------------- Upgrade: Advanced Homing Proton Torpedoes ----------------------------------------- An easy one. Get to the Research Facility (the one with the dishes and every- thing) and head up to the main tower in the middle (the Super Laser) and dip into the bowl. The upgrade is sitting on the base of the saucer. ============================================================***X==--- 5.12 GUNS OF DUBRILLION ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***X==--- ==========================================================***X==--- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | Bronze Silver Gold Beat Ever | | | | Completion Time 8:00 7:25 6:50 6:30 | | Enemies Destroyed 55 75 80 90 | | Shot Accuracy 18% 28% 35% 40% | | Friendlies Lost 0 0 0 0 | | Lives Lost 2 1 0 0 | | TCE 88% 92% 100% 100% | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Overview ======== Character: WEDGE ANTILLES Starting Aircraft: AT-ST Possible Alternates: NONE Upgrade: ADVANCED CONCUSSION MISSILES Difficulty: 2/5 Objectives ========== 1. Reach the Super Laser ----------- Walkthrough ----------- I hope you're pretty comfortable and familiar with the controls of an AT-ST, because you're going to be harnessing that power throughout this battle of the artilleries. You, basically, just have to follow the path laid up before you and destroy everything that opposes you. Eventually, you will reach a point where you have to take over an AT-AT (yes, an AT-AT!) to complete the said objective. (Press R to walk, A to fire, and B releases a missile) Pick off the AT-STs that appear from the left, the right and up front. When a Loader comes down from the sky and drops down a loading crate, shoot at it ASAP. The recoil of its explosion would knock off the existing AT-ST dead if you do it soon enough! Saves you time... When you finally reach the end of the original walkway, hang a right to find two troopers stationing a E-Web Blaster each. Take those pitiful lives out. :) Now, there will be three 'loading crates' coming out. Take the crates first, since it could kill the AT-STs as well. Continue walking the path and enter the central tunnel. Three more AT-STs walkers awaits... use missiles, standard machine gun fire, whatever to take them down. Step on the panel on the end, it will drop down automatically (elevator). During this recession, several probes will creep up... you know what to do, I guess. You you're in a some kind of assembly line mechanism/factory. There are probes and AT-STs heading for your ass so watch out for both of those. Plus, there are tanks that chugs down the lines (4 of them) clockwise. If you ever happen to get in its way, you will perish. Fortunately, they are flammable so it's possible to cause it (just shoot at it) to explode before it can even touch your AT-ST. The explosion of the tank hits an opposing AT-ST, it will go down as well. So, walk between the lines and shoot everything that moves. The portion will end when you have done enough. Yes, it is time. The AT-AT OWNING time! The game will control the powerful and imposing AT-AT's legs by itself so you will just control its lasers. Shoot down the TIEs and probes that comes around. They're not that important, just 'busy' work, I guess. After a while, the platform will suddenly drop down. To where? The Super Laser, of course! Eliminate the last AT-STs in the building and track down the probes. See the moving cylinders in the background? That's the 'Super Laser'. During that period, several probes will pop out, directly in your firing path, so tap A once (don't move the cross-hairs!) and they will be felled. Back to the Super Laser: shoot at all three cylinders until they has their tops flaming and stops revolving. Ta-da. -------------------------- Gold/Ace Medal Walkthrough -------------------------- Not much to say except 'do NOT STOP at all!' and several other killing tips. During the first few seconds, a TIE will pass over you, and that TIE is easily destroyed by your AT-ST. Just look up and fire at its proximity and you should get it. Also, try to catch the Imperial Loaders EARLY because you might have time to destroy the Loaders as well as the crates! Nice... One final thing: destroy as many tanks as you can. That's all. Might take a few tries, though. If you still have problems concerning with the time and kills, just DO NOT stop during the factory run and kill as many tanks as you can. ------------------------------------- Upgrade: Advanced Concussion Missiles ------------------------------------- The path that it lies on is on the first left you can possibly take as the AT-ST. Climb up the opening ramp, destroy some AT-ST and find the first left turn. Should find this quite easily, wide open for your taking. ============================================================***X==--- 5.13 FONDOR SHIPYARD ASSAULT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***X==--- ==========================================================***X==--- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | Bronze Silver Gold Best Ever | | | | Completion Time 5:50 5:00 4:00 5:00 | | Enemies Destroyed 28 43 50 63 | | Shot Accuracy 45% 50% 56% 45% | | Friendlies Lost 2 1 0 0 | | Lives Lost 2 1 0 0 | | TCE 88% 95% 100% 100% | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Overview Character: WEDGE ANTILLES Starting Aircraft: TIE HUNTER Possible Alternates: B-WING; A-WING; Y-WING; MILLENNIUM FALCON; X-WING; SLAVE 1 Upgrade: NONE!! Difficulty: 3/5 Objectives ========== 1. Defend the Rebel Transport 2. Use Ion Cannons to Disable the Hangar Doors 3. Destroy the Shield Generator before Imperial Reinforcements Arrive 4. Destroy all three Cloaking Devices ----------- Walkthrough ----------- With the TIE Hunter as your primary wings, you might have a hard time here because of the low defense mechanisms this machine possesses. However, if you come back and switch to some other plane, you would have a relatively trouble-free shoot-through. You have to roll the red carpet out for the decoy Rebel Transport, but that damn escort carrier and TIEs are in the way. Close the S-foils and head all of the way to the distant escort carrier and get behind it. Fire some missiles and lasers until it goes KA-BOOM! Now, with the main threat dissolved, the Transport should dock in safely, but you still have to fool around, kill some more TIEs. You could be rewarded with a medal for this, you know. *~*COMPLETED: 1. Defend the Rebel Transport*~* When the Rebel Transport have landed, the Rebels wants you to destroy the Shield Generator so you can seize the chance to get onto Super Star Destroyer's surface. Immediately after the cut scene (the landing of Rebel Transport), you are facing the Shield Generator itself, but it is hidden in a hangar with its doors shutting down and up wildly. You are supposed to DISABLE it first then go INTO the hangar to fire at it, but I ain't buying that! Haha! The hangar doors are ALREADY disabled momentarily when you regain the control of your ship after the cutscene so use that time to fire some missiles and lasers at the generator. If you failed to do that, you have to re-charge your Ion Cannon and fire at the hangar door (when it's closed) and enter... and destroy the generator. *sigh* *~*COMPLETED: 2. Use Ion Cannons to Disable the Hangar Doors*~* *~*COMPLETED: 3. Destroy the Shield Generator before Imperial Reinforcements Arrive*~* You have to destroy the remaining cloaking devices on the Super Star Destroyer before you can take off for the Endor missions. Like the trench run of Death Star Attack in RL2, you cannot fly too high up or the ship will be auto- matically relished into mustard. So, just dodge the obstacles and the turrets until you find a well-sized gap with a giant tower in the middle. That's a cloaking device. Shoot a few torps/missiles at it, coupled with some lasers to turn it into debris. Continue traveling the trenches to the next two. During this time, you should keep it slow and easy, firing at turrets (great accuracy helpers and kills counter). Good luck! *~*COMPLETED: 4. Destroy all three Cloaking Devices*~* -------------------------- Gold/Ace Medal Walkthrough -------------------------- A X-Wing is HIGHLY recommended, although a Y-Wing isn't too bad. ANY craft that has a high defense is actually useful for this one. I used X-Wing. Any- way, just complete the first objective normally (Transport will land in set time), but tell your wingmen to FLEE because they can die here quite easy, causing you to miss your Friendlies Lost status requirement. Destroy the Escort first and some TIEs afterwards. Destroy the generator ASAP, you shouldn't have to Ionize the doors or any- thing, just fire through the doors. As for the trenches... yep, you got to kill a LOT of turrets. If you're having problems surviving this part... just stay LOW while you're firing at the cloaking devices. Most turrets won't be able to see you. Otherwise, just take your time to kill turrets, you have plenty of time. Remember to dispatch your wingmen away, though. ***TRY TO SLOW DOWN AND DESTROY EVERY TURRET YOU SEE, you got a whole extra minute to kill 13 more turrets for your Ace Medal!

Destroy All Biker Scouts 2. Defeat the Last Biker Scout ----------- Walkthrough ----------- I will say this right now. Speeder Bike Pursuit will be the most famous and revered configuration out of this game, by far. You shall dodge through countless Endor redwoods, while straining steel with the Imperials. Just like the movie! :) You do NOT have to press the turbo button at all if you want to just beat this painstaking level (for some). Just focus on the path and dodge the trees. As for the oncoming Imperials, just shoot those that passes you with your charged-up blaster lasers, which will shoot several powerful lasers at once. If an Imperial maneuvers his way to your side, DO NOT press B (the game will say so) because it will cause the opponent to smash at you, countering your own smash attack. To make things smoother and easier, just ease the Imperial out to the side by leaning into him. Now you know the tricks of the trade... just repeat those steps for a while... When you reach the 'last scout' (can be identified by seeing if his front end locks with your own), DO NOT attempt to push him off. He WILL not die, even if you die at the barks of the forest. Just concentrate on the path, and a short while, a cutscene will occur. Take down the scout with your lightsaber (tap A when he comes by you). Taking him down will end the head- ache. -------------------------- Gold/Ace Medal Walkthrough -------------------------- Just be fast and kill enemies AS FAST AS YOU CAN. Killing Imperials will bring up MORE Imperials for your Kills Count. Try to boost at straight-ways, but not on turns. Just practice, practice and you should eventually get the Gold and the Ace. (Getting the Ace requires a LOT of boosting!) ----------------------------------- Upgrade: Homing Concussion Missiles ----------------------------------- Hard to say exactly where, but I can say this: Just look for an obvious fork and hang left. The upgrade is threading the needle between the trees somewhere past the fork. Keep an eye peeled for the glowing thing. ============================================================***X==--- 5.15 TRIUMPH OF THE REBELLION ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***X==--- ==========================================================***X==--- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | Bronze Silver Gold Best Ever | | | | Completion Time 7:00 6:00 5:20 4:40 | | Enemies Destroyed 52 65 80 95 | | Shot Accuracy 15% 19% 28% 40% | | Friendlies Lost 0 0 0 0 | | Lives Lost 2 1 0 0 | | TCE 90% 98% 100% 100% | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Overview ======== Character: JUST AN EWOK, I GUESS Starting Aircraft: AT-ST Possible Alternates: NONE Upgrade: HOMING CLUSTER MISSILES Difficulty: 3/5 Objectives ========== 1.

Your main enemies will be the AT-ST so they are marked as '"'. Take them down with your regular firepower or with an occasional Ewok-booby- trap such as Log Swing, Catapults, or Log Rolls. I can't really help with the timing of those traps, but I would say... just release the traps as soon as possible (the D-Pad - top left - will show up when the trap is available). it's not too hard, overall, but it can be pretty boring after a while. Don't forget the upgrade... *~*COMPLETED: 1. Fight your way to the Bunker before Han and Leia are Overwhelmed*~* Now you take over the brain of the handsome Han Solo. All you got to do is to fight your way to the depths of the bunker, set three bombs, and leave. Just perform hit and run on the idiot Imperials here, until you find the first Rebel icon in the control room. Use the C stick to place a bomb here. Go into the next room for a few more Imperials and the final bomb placements. After placing all three bombs, a bounty hunter will show up and try to shoot at you (I dunno WHY?!?! I HATE THAT! STOP THAT!) as you're leaving. Make note that there are several Bacta Tanks nearby (lower part of the Control Room, and near the crates on the stairs) in case you ‘em. Just ignore the hunter and open the door to salvation. *~*COMPLETED: 2. Fight your way to the Bunker's Control Room*~* *~*COMPLETED: 3. Plant the Explosive Charges*~* *~*COMPLETED: 4. Fight your way out of the Bunker before it explodes*~* *P.S. It only happens to me SOMTIMES, but the door might not open up as I approach it, en route to the exit... Might be a glitch or something, I dunno. Just letting you know. It's a bitch to have to start over because of a lousy glitch, right? -------------------------- Gold/Ace Medal Walkthrough -------------------------- Practice makes perfect in this mission. The main problem with the first part in the forest is getting killed by the AT-STs, so the more you play through the mission the easier it will be to destroy them before they destroy you. Remember that you can bust out the missile power with the B button. On a related and unfortunate note, you can't slow down. At all. Ever. Taking your time at the beginning will also cost you dearly in the end. You definitely don't want to allow any AT-STs to live because they'll finish you off as you pass by, but if the AT-ST is out of the way and hasn't noticed you, you can slip by. It's tough to pull off sneaky maneuvers in a walking tank, but it may save precious seconds. Another good speed tip is to take the inside track. Take a gander at the map above and note that there are two points where the road splits. Take the left path at the first branch and the right path at the second branch. That right path is the most direct way to get to the bunker. Although you should NEVER turn back to shoot at Stormtroopers, it is very important that you shoot any you see along the ground. They count very heavily towards your overall kills. The second part with Han Solo is pretty simple. Run down into the bunker and shoot down any guards that get in the way. Plant your charges quickly and do not waste time shooting the Stormtroopers near the Explosive Charge points. Don't stop running during the fight with Sarkli and keep blasting him along the way. He'll likely die right before the final set of stairs to the surface. -------------------------------- Upgrade: Homing Cluster Missiles -------------------------------- Somewhere in the forest in the deep crevasse hugging the first corner (use the map to find its approximate location). Just look around... If you hear a beep or something, that means you've gotten it. You got to complete the level first, though.

Access the Security Elevator 2. Defeat the Enemies in the Detention Center 3. Locate Princess Leia 4. Escape the Detention Area 5. Find the Millennium Falcon and Escape ----------- Walkthrough ----------- You have to make your way down to the Detention Center, where the enslaved princess (Leia) is imprisoned, take her out. You start off with an cover- up (Imperial suit) and use Wookie as the slave. If you attempt and show your aggression toward the other Imperials, they will react and counter. Therefore, DO NOT shoot at them unless you want some kills for a medal. If you're just passing through, DO NOT do it. Follow the path to the elevator platform. Wait for the elevator open and enter. *~*COMPLETED: 1. Access the Security Elevator*~* Down at the Detention Center, your cover is busted, and the Imperial storm- troopers are heading for you. Just wait for them to pop out of the doorways and shoot them down. Enter the cell way and shoot down enemies here. There are FIVE cells that you can open and Leia is cuddling in one of them. However, there are Bacta Tanks (healing) in two of those cells so it might be wise to open AND enter those cells. When you've found Leia, return to Han Solo in the Detention Center (yes, you have to kill the enemies that come after your ass while leaving). Blow the lower crate by the stairs open to complete the fourth objective. *~*COMPLETED: 2. Defeat the Enemies in the Detention Center*~* *~*COMPLETED: 3. Locate Princess Leia*~* *~*COMPLETED: 4. Escape the Detention Area*~* Continue prodding your way in the search of an exit until you find yourself front of a ton of clueless Imperials. Han Solo, in a heroic yet foolish act, baits them out, allowing for Leia's rescue to be realized. Follow the detour (yes, more enemies!) left. If you're wondering where's the door that leads to the next area... it's to the right, you have to use the C-Stick to open. Anyway, continue fighting your way... when you're in the gap with two broken bridges, just wait and let the Imperials to come out. After killing all nine Imperials, the C-Stick icon will come out. Flick the C-Stick to activate the rope swing and look up, target the bar just above (press A) and jump! Continue fighting your way (and watch Obi-Wan die! :((( ) until you have destroyed every single enemy. Then you shall hop into Millennium Falcon for the escapade. *~*COMPLETED: 5. Find the Millennium Falcon and Escape*~* -------------------------- Gold/Ace Medal Walkthrough -------------------------- Just do it quick, that's all. A few tips: -Do kill the enemies in the first area, with the Imperial get-up on. Don't forget those two guys that is locked in the room RIGHT next to the original room, they need a few seconds to come out. They will be useful to your kill count. -Don't waste any time in the elevator grounds, just pop them out once the elevator doors open and enter the correct elevator (with the Rebel icon) once you're done. -For one or two extra kills, shoot at the camera/machine/whateveryouwantto- callit that surrounds the entrance to the cell hall. (Detention Center) -For some healing, open the first cell for a Bacta Tank. -Know the enemies' positions in the final stretch to keep the time down. You still have to kill them all, though. -If you can get the Gold, the Ace is nothing for you.

Disable the Damaged Star Destroyer and Escape ----------- Walkthrough ----------- This is, overall, a simple, hurry-up mission. Not a lot of exploration to go around, sadly. In the midst of the Battle of Hoth, Han Solo is leading his heart-throb, Princess Leia, to Millennium Falcon for their escape. After the succession, you will have a brief stop at a neighboring Star Destroyer to finish an unfinished objective. In the bunkers of Hoth, you have to shoot down oncoming troopers while shielding Leia. It's not a big deal, it's just horribly simplistic as always. I'm sure you can handle all of this by yourself. After the first cut-scene, you will see a sliding door that you have to pass through to make progress. There is a Bacta Tank on both sides of that door, don't miss them. Also, when you reach a E-Web Blaster, TAKE IT. Several Imperial troopers will come forth once you reach that point. Exploit the advantage with the Blaster! As you keep moving forward, you'll see a sabotaged chasm without connected bridges. Use the jump button to get across the platforms to the right side, where you will continue your melee. Never mind the other troopers on the opposing side. When you reach the fork, hang a right (if you go left, you will see Darth Vader, pretty cool!) and you finally reach your entrusted ship, Millennium Falcon. *~*COMPLETED: 2. Reach the Millennium Falcon*~* Chewbacca is going to power up the ship, but that takes time. The troopers have gathered for this particular alarm to disrupt your take-off. Take all of them down with the turret you're controlling right now. The controls are monogamous, just move with control stick and fire with A button. (What's there not to understand?) The idiots will keep coming and coming... if one or two does pass, don't worry, just keep firing, you might get lucky and survive. If you're gunning for a victory, not a medal, then fire like crazy because accuracy does not matter to you. :) The objective will end after a set amount of time, not your number of kills. *~*COMPLETED: 3. Protect the Millennium Falcon*~* Now on to the flying portion... See the damaged Star Destroyer (its right sphere is blown off) over there? You got to finish it off by eliminating its remaining shield generators and strike the finishing blow. One of the shield generators is located on the bottom, portrayed as the only thing that's curvy and smooth down there (use your TCE to find it if you don't know what it is). Use your Concussion and Lasers to break it open (might take more than one run). The other generator is the upper left sphere on the Destroyer. Again, just use your Missiles and such to finish it off. With those two away, head for the command deck (directly on the middle of the front deck) and shoot a few lasers to complete the final objective. *Note: you can use your Falcon's rear turret to shoot down chasing TIEs (flick the C-Stick at any direction to shoot). *~*COMPLETED: 4. Disable the Damaged Star Destroyer and Escape*~* -------------------------- Gold/Ace Medal Walkthrough -------------------------- Errr... Not a lot to say since it's pretty linear. Just run everyone down (if you don't miss anyone, you should get enough kills for a Gold, and even an Ace) and don't stop running. Try to use the Blaster for the least amount of time. Don't waste any time on the jumping portion. As for the Falcon turret part, just kill everyone as they come, but be considerate about your accuracy. The troopers here should provide plenty of kills for your total. The time is a major factor, especially for an Ace. I feel that the time is impacted by the final objective than any other part of the mission so you have to be flawless on that part. DO NOT take more than ONE run per generator! Start with the bottom and take a good distance from the Destroyer, and turn around. Destroy the left Sphere, and turn around for one final time. Position yourself toward the command deck and finish it off. Es facile. Remember to watch for the 'Repair' command if your health lingers. Do use your rear turret for one or two more kills IF the TIEs comes around.

Intercept Boba Fett before he can leave the city 2. Locate the Millennium Falcon, and escape 3. Eliminate the TIE fighter Patrols 4. Locate and rescue Luke Skywalker 5. Fly to the Escape Point ----------- Walkthrough ----------- Guess who you're going to manipulate? Leia! Yea, the female side of Skywalker twins! You have to chase Boba Fett (and fail, no less...) and escape via Han Solo's Millennium Falcon. On the way to Boba Fett, you will encounter several locked doors... to open those, step on the icon and press up on the D-Pad and R2 will come over and help you out. Let's begin. Have R2 open the primary door to hit it off. Two Imperial troopers await your senseless mercy. Boba Fett will elude you once again, so follow him (use the map and orange arrows). [there is a Bacta Tank in the room north of the second Imperial squad you encounter, grab it if you need.] Continue paving your way until you reach Boba Fett's ship, where you will watch him fly away. How pathetic. Oh well. Go back into the Bespin fortress and head to the right to find a locked door guarded by three Imperials. Kill them all and have R2 open it. Hop into the Falcon and take a hike! *~*COMPLETED: 1. Intercept Boba Fett before he can leave the city*~* *~*COMPLETED: 2. Locate the Millennium Falcon, and escape*~* Before you can rescue the limbless Luke Skywalker, you got to destroy ALL TIE fighter patrols, and there are a LOT of them! Luckily, the Falcon has a guided turret that will lock on a target if it is in the proximity of its range (think auto-target). So just get a TIE in the general direction in the front of you and let the turret do the rest. For faraway targets, use the Homing Concussion Missiles, if you have them. And yes, you got to kill every one of them to attain the completion of the objective. If a TIE is behind your ass, just use the C-Stick to fire from behind. Yay. *~*COMPLETED: 3. Eliminate the TIE fighter Patrols*~* Where's Luke? See the shiny thing on the upper rim of the platform? Yeah, he's there. Just fly into the icon. *~*COMPLETED: 4. Locate and rescue Luke Skywalker*~* Leave the platform in the midst of the incoming TIE fighters to complete the bonus mission. No, you do not have to kill any of them. Just leave Bespin's air boundary. -------------------------- Gold/Ace Medal Walkthrough -------------------------- One of the easiest Golds and Aces you will ever get in this game. Just plow your way as Leia (shouldn't have ANY problems, too simple to have any problems) and hop into the Falcon immediately. When killing the TIEs, make sure you don't over-shoot because the 8% (or %9) accuracy is stingier that you think. On my Gold Medal run, I got 49 kills (3 off Ace) with a MINUTE to spare! As long you can single-handedly destroy every TIE by yourself quick enough (if not, learn how to do it! Remember, the Falcon has auto-target so don't 'aim' too much). After rescuing Luke, make sure you kill 3~5 more TIEs before leaving. Es facile. *Remember to preserve your accuracy!* ------------- Upgrade: None ------------- ============================================================***X==--- 5.19 ATTACK ON THE EXECUTOR ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***X==--- ==========================================================***X==--- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | Bronze Silver Gold Best Ever | | | | Completion Time 6:20 5:30 4:50 4:20 | | Enemies Destroyed 33 46 55 60 | | Shot Accuracy 19% 24% 35% 37% | | Friendlies Lost 2 1 0 0 | | Lives Lost 2 1 0 0 | | TCE 88% 95% 100% 100% | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Overview ======== Character: VRAD DODONNA? Starting Aircraft: A-WING Possible Alternates: ALL!! EXCEPT THE SPEEDER Upgrade: NONE Difficulty: 3/5 Objectives ========== 1. Destroy the ION Cannons Threatening the Calamari Cruiser 2. Destroy the Executor's Command Deck ----------- Walkthrough ----------- Well then, the final battle. The Calamari Cruiser needs to get through the blockade of Star Destroyers, and to do that you'll need to take out the ION Cannons on the side of the ships. I'll tell you right now not to worry about TIEs or the turbolasers from the Star Destroyers. Just boost to the first SD on the right and start laying some lasers into the cannons. Feel free to use a missile or two to get the job done quicker. Fly off to the next SD on the left as soon as you blow all four ION cannons. Repeat the same process with the four ION Cannons on the right side of the ship, then move on to the final SD in the distance. This one looks like it's the same four ION Cannon deal, but shortly after you arrive it will start to turn. That means you also have to take out the ION Cannons on the other side. I say bust a few missiles into them to make it quicker. Once all the ION Cannons have been destroyed you'll be good to go. *~*COMPLETED: 1. Destroy the ION Cannons threatening the Calamari Cruiser. The next part will be the maze that is the surface of the Executioner. Truth is this place is a copy of the ever-so-popular trench run. Especially the trench run in Rogue Squadron on the N64... Anyway, it ain't tough. Your only troubles here are the Turbolaser turrets along the ground, and even they can be taken out with a few hits. Make your way through the paths and simply follow your radar to eventually reach the Command Deck. Boost towards the protruding window in the center of the structure to sacrifice yourself for the good of the Rebellion. *~*COMPLETED: 2. Destroy the Executor's Command Deck*~* -------------------------- Gold/Ace Medal Walkthrough -------------------------- N-1 Starfighter. Now. Once that is set, prepare for an easy Gold/Best Ever. First of all, don't complain about losing lives here. You can easily get through the first part by relying on your Turbo boosts to go from one target to the next. The attack run towards the Command Deck is a joke as long as you remain between the buildings, since your only targets will be the Turbolaser towers along the ground. Now for the first part of the mission. You'll need to turbo boost from one target to the next to reach the three Star Destroyers. The Calamari Cruiser must NOT get stopped at any point. If you can manage to destroy all the ION cannons before the Cruiser arrives, you're good to go. The easy way to do it is to line up the four ION cannons in a row by approaching from the front or rear of the Star Destroyer, then pumping them full of turbolaser. The N-1 Starfighter also has the handy dandy Homing Cluster Missiles. These things should handle the ION Cannons with the greatest of ease. You're going to have a good chunk of time after destroying the ION Cannons, so go out and pop off the TIEs! This is where you can get the large majority of the kills required for Gold/Best Ever. And don't go blast-happy; use controlled bursts to take out TIEs and preserve some accuracy. The Calamari Cruiser will eventually make it past the Star Destroyers and you'll reach the surface of the Executioner. The N-1 has excellent speed and maneuverability, so getting through is no problem. What you should be concentrating on is blowing the Turbolaser Turrets that are on the ground along the way. Blast as many as possible, and when you see the Command Deck boost straight to it. ------------- Upgrade: None ------------- ============================================================***X==--- 5.20 REBEL ENDURANCE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***X==--- ==========================================================***X==--- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | Bronze Silver Gold Best Ever | | | | Completion Time 30:00 30:00 30:00 16:00 | | Enemies Destroyed 100 200 390 460 | | Shot Accuracy 10% 20% 30% 55% | | Friendlies Lost 12 23 45 52 | | Lives Lost 7 7 7 0 | | TCE 80% 90% 100% 100% | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Overview ======== Character: LUKE SKYWALKER Starting Aircraft: ON FOOT Possible Alternates: NONE Upgrade: NONE Difficulty: 2/5 Objectives ========== 1. Destroy ALL Imperials ----------- Walkthrough ----------- Holy crap... can you say carpal tunnel syndrome?! I don't know if the guys over at Factor 5 made this mission even more sadistic than the original Endurance, or my old wrist has just given out, but this one was one of the most agonizing missions in the game. I mean it's easy enough to beat, but I had to pause every 10 waves to keep my wrist from breaking. So yea, it's quite easy. The first thing you need to do is NOT stay in the center of the room. Waves often appear in every corner of the room, and if you're in the middle you'll be caught in a massive cross-fire. The next step, and what makes this mission so easy, is you have jump and shoot the entire time. That means continually tapping the A and X button, which are right next to each other. So that means you'll be jumping around the entire time and shooting guys. You'll obviously still get shot while you jump around, but not as much as if you were on the ground. Also remember to pick up the blaster and health power ups that appear when you kill troops. If you find yourself low on health, run away and gather a few. Well, that's it. The jump/shoot method will get you through without a problem. -------------------------- Gold/Ace Medal Walkthrough -------------------------- The gold medal is easy to get if you follow the walkthrough.
