I cant beat it....any tips?

This is the 4 on 1 or 5 on 1 fight ending for when you become a terriost right?

If it is,I found a way....it takes about an hour, but I still got a B rank lol.

Ok, first of all, ignor your 'partner' Old King is useless and I am unaware of there being any reason to save him (like getting an alternate ending or good AC Part)

My suit was a modified version of White Glint. It had all the parts except the arms, I dont remember their name of the top of my head, but that dosnt matter.

The main key is how many points you have to upgrade your suit. I kept dying, so I went back and did the free missions till I had 332, Max out the Core, Torso and Legs PA, Max out the generator's output, K output, and capacator, the only other thing I had maxed was the horazontal boost. The remaining points were spent on the suits weight capacity. Also make sure you equip the generator that has the higest Asult Armor attak.

Weapons, for the back I had duel Kojima missles, and my normal weapons were the large gattaling guns. The key is not to have energy weapons as you need to conserve energy for boosters and...the 'secret weapon'.

As for how I got through the mission, it took about a days worth of trys, but the method works.

Fly to the wall, to the point where the enemies come from and land on top. When you hear their radio's, fly towards them and meat them while they are still in flight. Now until they get over the wall, they will not attack you, so this gives you some free shots in.

USE IT WISELY!

If you have missles, 2 of the Next's will go over the wall once they reach it, but the other 2 will drop down and chase you.

RUN! Do not engage them yet.

If you are facing ateria carpals from the direction they came from, go left, and stay a reasonable distance from the wall. Once you reach the brigde, blast it with gattling fire until you have made a decent sized hole.

Now, for the fun part.

Glid across the water, (clockwise or counter clockwise it dosnt matter) around ateria carpals. The two Next's will chase you around it, (the other two will join in once Old King is dead) just keep running from them until you have a feel for their firing pattern.

Once you have it down, spin around to face them, charge, then at point blank fire off you Asult Armor and keep running, so you are now running in the opposite direction from before. Continue running untill your K energy has recharged.

When its back to full, spin around, charge, then let off another blast of Asult Armor and keep going.

Repeat this process untill all four are dead.

It takes a little getting used to, and more than just a few tries, but it works once you get the hang of it. Things get even easyer when they run out of ammo.

Not the most 'glorious' of victories, but it works.

Then start gliding around the area and use said stragity

Baa, I tried to make a map, but the stupid thing removed all the spaces, just copy the pic then past it to word and add ten spaces between all the I's

hmmm, or u could just fight them all head on???? i thought thats what everyone did

i fight them all at once and still manage to get an A

to S rank it on normal i used a blade AC, to S rank it on hard i put the regs on 1.15 and used a blade AC

but now i can S rank it just fighting normal without running... most of the good ppl can

Most 'good' people have depth perception, I dont. Do you have any idea how hard it is to play a game like this when you've got the eyesight of a pigeon?

Ok, so it's not that bad, but I still am unable to fight more than 3 head on. No depth percetpion means I cant blade them. That and for some reaons they all ignor Old King and go streight for me. 4 on 1 is not fun, not by a long shot. And Old King just sits there saying "He he, Lap Dog..."

I can beat it now, but only using the 'run, flashbang' method. I've been playing AC since AC2 came out, and have beaten every mission in every game, I just have to go about it differently.

Besides, I managed to go through the ENTIRE arena using the 'freelancer' Next with only upgraded MG's, I cant suck but so badly right?

nah its cool w/e works i guess

altho i find that mission impossible on Regs 1.30

actually alot of missions are terribly hard on regs 1.30...... god i hate those regs

Hmmm I've actually heard quite a bit about these regs, but I dont really know what they are. I just put the disc in and play. Sorry, cant help with that.

i used white glint with double moonlight. somehow i maneged to trick 3 of the 4 ACs outside the walls and then double teamed them all one by one with old king, he is pretty helpful if you manage to do this.

I found that if you have any missles or rockets with half decent power to them and you stand on the wall, two of the four will come after you right from the start, even if you dont fire.

I use this to split them up. Even though Old King dies in like, 3 minutes, I can usually take out one of the two that come after me, and like I said before, I can fight 3 on 1, just not 4 on 1.

Another old topic... But I have a method.

NEXT:
Dual Canopus.
Heayweight NEXT.
P-MARROW AA Amplifiers (Complete the mission "Defeat Unknown NEXT+ No Count" on Hard)
Dual Kojima cannon on back
OB with Assault Armor capabilities

Step 1: when the mission starts, begin chargin' your lazors. I mean, Kojima cannons. yep, both of them. Then, fly through the middle of Carpals, to trigger the radio conversation.

Step 2: On the far wall is a small platform facing outward, land on it and wait. When the four (or five) NEXTs come Overboosting in, target the one in the lead, Otsdarva. He's the only one that can jeopardise this mission, so make sure to take him down with both barrels.

Step 3: Once that's done, the other NEXTS should land inside Carpals and make short work of Old King. Then, because the AI in this mission has been given a 'hive mind', if you're right next to the wall on the outside, the enemies can't get out to fight you unless you go too near a gap (except Otsdarva and sometimes very rarely WynnD).

Step 4: Here's the really devious part. Due to lazy programming by the developers, the CANOPUS Hi-Laser Rifle has the ability to shoot through walls! Yep, if you park your NEXT right next to the giant wall, and aim at an enemy, you can shoot them without ever coming in harm's way. I'f you play it right, you can literally finish this mission without taking a single bit of damage.

Step 5: Keep blasting those fools with your dual CANOPUS rifles, there should be more than enough ammo. 'But,' I hear you say, 'what was the point of the AA Amplifier?' Well, you must have figured it out by now. Assault Armor can go through basically anything, much like Gamma rays, and with the amplifier, your AA range and attack power is doubled! So, you can blast any NEXTs that get too close to the wall, dealing massive damage and destroying their PA, letting you do more damage with the CANOPUS!
