Armored Core for Answer - Scorcher

[CrimsonBloodedge]

This is where salines come in handy.

[nonnatural]

Salvation through death. An old concept, yet still believed by many. Old King really personified that to me. The Destruction arc final battle though, that was straight bull =/

[TheBarns95]

@nonnatural How so?

[OverlordLS]

@nonnatural Not really. This game personified the video game cruelty potential, then punishes you for exacting genocide by pitting you against four or five of the best pilots in the game. What really drives it home is that on hard mode, one of the pilots is your operator.

Horrible deeds have horrible consequences.

[TheNixzilla]

i do it by dodging for about 30mins then sliceing them up with my blade

[Zairthos]

Used 2 back rail guns, one kojima rifle, and one blade on this mission. Destroyed all the Nexts and saved Old King from dying.

[TheKillu4real]

Yes Old King died off now for the real fun to start 4 on 1 MAHAHA!!!

[LordIronHat]

*Sees 5 NEXTs comming*

"DAMN IT, OLD KING! I knew shit like this would happen! Why the hell did I listen to you?!"

[MrNightwraith]

It's always too soon when your time is up.

Live and die by the barrel of a gun..... Old King

[Grakkis]

from now on every time i do this mission i'm going to sing along to it... except i'll replace the japanese with "THIS IS BULLSHIT- BULLSHIT, BULLSHIT"

[spartansgestugatenso]

@Grakkis ROTFLMFAO same thing i did when you had to fight five next

[SnoodleDragon94]

@Grakkis HAHA Made my day XD HAHAHAHA

[BlueAce283]

Otsdarva: "Maybe it's just an animal. Can it even understand what we're saying?"

[Galgamos]

I did it with double back mounted chain guns and machine gun arms. Struggle to complete hard mode though.



[CrystalMethoD100]

did it with the laser blade type. i dunno i just had no luck with any of my other weapons so i made a light weight type with assault armor. still trying to do hard mode!!!>_<

[Shinsengumi77]

blade the lot of 'em and it doesn't take long.

[RenegadeN1ghtmare]

"Please accept my appologies..." Me: "Ambient? Bring it..." "Well it is what it is..." Me: "Rodie too? easy." "Maybe its just an animal,..." Me: "Stasis as well, this could be troub-" "To end up facing you like this..." Me: "This... is a problem... four on--" *sees five nexts coming* Me: "...shit..."

[theforgottendemon]

@RenegadeN1ghtmare me:wasted my ammo and only took two down now gotta resort to my twin back up laser blades (gets murdered) me: well i guess i'll just get mah gatling guns

[Galgamos]

@RenegadeN1ghtmare I was pretty much the same lad. X.X

[Rondart]

"I come from hell, find me, found me!"

[rebellionof1]

After months of attempting this with swords and failing... I tried the run and gun tactic and completed it one my second try. I learned a valuable lesson. T_T

[WhatShouldItBEh1]

For me the best weapons for this level were the Argyos kojima arms and duel railgun cannons, for both normal and hard settings. Charge the kojima cannons at the start of the level, by the time you fly to the end wall where the enemy makes their intros, you should have a full charge. Once you see them OBing, you can fly out and kill one of them (preferably Otstarva) before the fight even begins. Use the railcannons if you run out of kojima or don't want to wait on another charge.

[ChibiLucy15]

"please except my apologies. that breifing you saw was manufactured. this is the end of the road for you. i think you understand why"

[chrismanify]

this mission is a pain in the butt... i need to kill one more enemy and i run out of amunition!

[DragoonSoldier09]

@chrismanify Gunning down 4-5 Next's without running out of ammo is near impossible. XD Unless you snipe them or missile them or blade them.

[nejiharuno]

@DragoonSoldier09

It is possible, but you need to be really lucky not to waste too much of your ammo lol. I only had my BFF rifle, and it only had 4 bullets after it was done.

[SSGTWinters]

@DragoonSoldier09 no use a tank tpye ac with machine gun arms and gatliong back mounts then use high primal armour with a good lock on part it will take you a while but you can do it

[Mikyate]

@chrismanify

Close in on that person and use assault armor on them. That's what I had to do when I ran out of ammo.

[Aerisaxia]

@Mikyate when all meh stuff where gone i was raping the x button to fire something xD

[Shockwave1171]

This is my favorite just because where it takes place, the final epic battle.

[sonicbrother129]

"Sorry friend(SORRY WTF?!!!)I can't help you anymore...(Yea you lil' noob, atleast I know how to fight)I'm glad(Glad oh hoorah -_-)we got to know each other better...(Better, you know you're going a bit far on the words, don't you?)"

That's what I think When Old king dies. Lol

[nejiharuno]

@sonicbrother129

There was one time he actually survived till the last one (only because I failed to notice he was fighting that last one while I was the other side of the damn map). He survived that long thanks to be out of that damn cramped area.

[10478188]

beat it on hard with an S rank at least twice. 2 Split shot bazooka, 2 Arsenic, Aldra or Torus or GA America heavy AC parts, and an Algebra computer. Finish stasis in one blast with the arsenic, (he is the one in front, and he has less life then some of em) then jettison them or just forget them if you have enough capacity for em, after that, stay around 200 distance units from each target in turn, ( dunno what the game uses) Your psycho ally may not even die if you do it fast enough.

[shadowwolfu94]

@10478188 oh thats not a challenge...try using laser blades to get an S rank...thats fun it took me a lil bit but i did it all 5 nexts destroyed in under 5 minutes

[Gruulthedragonslayer]

@shadowwolfu94 i try that using split moon equipped with assault armor and iv only gotten an A rank... it bothers me seeing all S and that 1 A ><

[shadowwolfu94]

@Gruulthedragonslayer never use assault armor it will leave u vulnerable, and dont use the split moon if u want talk to me on a pm and add me as a friend and i'll give u a good set up on how to kill those guys just trust me.

sincerely shadowwolfu94 (btw do u have ps3 or 360

[Arjuna26483]

with those argyros arms your very short on ammo so you have to make those shots count and wait for them to charged.

[RenegadeN1ghtmare]

i remember when my cousin beat this on normal while i was away. I went to play it on hard and he kept trying to warn me, but i didnt listen. When i first heard there were 2 or 3 comin i was sayin "really bring it, ill kill you all." Then i see theyre Lynx ranks 1 2 3 and 4 AND your operator, then i was like "im fucked..."

[Arzaker]

"your actions were clearly delibarate....theres no point trying to reason with ya"

"maybe its just an animal ...can it eaven understand what were saying"

just how i pissed my self when strung in AC2 just said

"YOU MUST BE ELIMNINATED"

[Armalizilto]

I'm the short-range guy, I'm suicidal on that last mission. I pwn it with a A rank.

[shaq9537]

yo yo yo how the fuck do you beat this mission I'm stuck on it hard core man!!!!!!!!!!!

[poggg]

Which mission do you mean?

[Armalizilto]

@poggg You're posting to me? Fine, I'll tell you. It's the last mission with 1,000,000 credits if you beat it. It has four high rank NEXTS trying to kill you because you took down Cradle 03, each of those flying ships has 20 million people in them.

You have a ally on this mission but he won't last long in that battle, and you'll soon have to do this alone.

[poggg]

@Armalizilto No, I was responding to the person below me, actually. I already know about that mission, and appropriately hate it to death.

[Armalizilto]

@poggg My bad.

[Armalizilto]

@shaq9537 Do you mean the one with four NEXTS? (or five if you're on Hard difficulty)

[RenegadeN1ghtmare]

@shaq9537 take the argyros koji arms, an arsenic koji cannon on the LEFT shoulder, charge all three at once. Shoot all three at the same time and if you hit thats one kill right there.

[devastaterex]

@RenegadeN1ghtmare actually the argyros arms pretty much do it on there own. and using dual heavy gatling on the back did it for me

[Kiavah82]

"Heh, Lap dog.."

[Sebansho]

Rifle, Grenade launcher, Missile pods, and you pratically get the cash like on a silver plate.

[soraroxass]

love this song! I Have it on my ipod lucky me :3

just if anyone was wondering here are the lyrics:

"I'm got Stronger come and Fight me"

"If you're the Hero come and Fear me"

"When you get Stronger come and Hunt me"

and then pretty much during the rest of this song the end parts get switch around a lot

[aznwutang213]

all u need is blades...owns everything...just gotta get around the energy problem...blades>everything even nub gatling guns

[palomine21040]

dual gatling guns all the way, takes care of any problem

[darkmx4]

try beatting occupation without koji weps, spamming missiles or dual blades its hella fun

[ghoang]

Done that with dual sniper rifles and a loong range FCS chip.

[RogueShadowStudioes]

and hard. Did it but i was flying around for about an hour waiting for my moments to shoot.

[ZaketoX2]

"Who opened the fridge?"

[devastaterex]

@ZaketoX2 ha, loved that movie

[whitekni177]

argh!!! i would like better if i knew what they were singing-- even funny lyrics would do.lol =)

[TychoHoward]

Swear it's "Let us go and find it, hold it

Let us kill and stab it, beat it" over and over again.

Echoes what onigojira said of the song being about hunting down and killing something that can't even hope to fight back.

Funny that the first mission has you as the one hunting and the last mission of the final path has you on the exact opposite side.

[RogueShadowStudioes]

thats what the guys in the five nexts are singing together over the mic :P

[Donkling]

this also plays during the occupation of arteria carpals , right? Great song for a truly epic (read: hopeless) battle. I heard the version in the Japanese edition of the game is cooler?

[onigojira]

Oddly enough..plays on the very first mission too. Seems the theme of this song is "A battle in which it is obvious that one side is hopelessly out gunned"...I like how which side is up for interpretation for the last mission though >=)

[RogueShadowStudioes]

*sees 100 nexts overboosting over the horizon. and activates blades.*

here we go again.

[anotherveryboredguy]

the occupation is prety easy just get vert launch kojima missles and the intergrated MG arms

[rockaboy3000]

@anotherveryboredguy: could you specify the arm weapons. because i have got vert kojimissiles and i always killed one or two of those enemies. but im still having a hard time.

[soraroxass]

favorite

[jcudal32]

this song makes you feel like an elite mechanic working at a top secret lab making robots

[shawtyloh]

rofl xD

[MAGMA600]

Awesome song... In my opinion I think this and a couple others are too slow. Cicada for example and Scorcher.
