Mission Objectives

Mission Objective 1 - 5 - Destroy Landing Pad, Destroy Manufacturing Building, Destroy Power Station, Destroy Main Factory, Destroy Command Center

The way the objectives are laid out for you is not necessarily the best order to use to try and beat the level, especially if your going for gold. Therefore in the following walkthrough text I run through the objectives in the order that I use and it starts with attacking the Command Center.

Destroy Command Center

First of all, those turrets that are everywhere can take you out very quickly, the biggest problem for you in the level. You must take most of them out to finish the mission. If they get a bead on you and start hitting your ship you won't last long. Turrets have a weak spot however; they cannot spin all the way around. Turrets have two lights on them, Orange on the front and Blue on the back. Try to attack turrets from the side with the Blue light and they cannot fire back, just make sure that you're not in another's line of fire. They also have a shorter firing range than you which means you can also pick them off from afar. Don't worry too much about the Scarabs in the level. You may get hit by them a few times but they are such bad shots they don't pose much of a threat and they should be ignored.

When you start the mission the Command Center will be directly in front of you and if you don't take it out first it will eventually fly away, making it so you can't complete the mission. Destroying it in less than a minute from the start of the mission will also earn you a Bonus Objective medal. As you gain control of your ship take out the first turret in front of you using your zoom in feature and then the next gun emplacement on the ridge before the Command Center. There is another turret on the ground to the right o the Command Center but in an effort to save time with destroying the Command Center ignore it for now. Start firing at the command center and charge up your Plasma Scourge.
This is the first mission that you get to use your Plasma Scourge attack with your secondary weapon. It's a super powerful blast that takes some charging (by holding the CIRCLE button) and will use up five energy bombs. Two blasts with your Plasma Scourge are all it takes to eliminate the Command Center or any other structure in the level. Be sure you hit the main saucer, as it's easy to over shoot the skinny part below. As soon as it goes down boost out of the area back in the direction you started the level from and get you bearings. With the Command Center gone (hopefully within a minute of starting the level) you can continue the removing of enemy turrets. Be methodical, going through turrets one by one until and area is clear. Until an area around a structure you need to destroy is without turrets do your best to keep moving.


Destroy Main Factory

After you take down the Command Center fly out, back in the direction you started the level from and take out any turrets from that far off vantagepoint using your zoom in button. You will be out of their range. Just look for the Orange and Blue lights and quickly take them all out with your lasers.


With the area semi-clear of turrets head back in and you should see the Factory Power Station directly ahead of you. To the right, just over the ridge you'll find the Main Factory, your next target. Attack the turrets first with either a couple of energy bombs or your lasers but attack from the back of the structure to avoid them firing back. Look for the blue lights. With the Turrets gone go ahead and take out the Main Factory with a couple Plasma Scourges. With it gone take out the turret on the ridge between the Main Factory and the Power Station. Now stay on the factory side of this ridge with the Power Station on the other side and follow it to the right. Continue around left, following the lava flow until you see the Blue light of a turret on top of a ridge on the left. You should be almost directly behind the Power Station. Take out the turret and on the other side of the ridge you'll find the planetary gun and another turret. Destroy them both and head for the Power Station, attacking it from the back.
Destroy Power Station

After you destroy the planetary gun come at the Power Station from the back. This way its laser can't reach you and you can easily take the turrets out. With those two gone there shouldn't be any other turrets in range in the area, that is if you did your job of eliminating the turrets earlier in the mission. Be on the look out for Hunter Seeker droids that start to appear they can be quite annoying. Now just send in a couple Plasma Surges and the Power Station will be no more. Now it's time to take out the Manufacturing Building.
Destroy Manufacturing Building

After you destroy the Power Station you'll want to go and deal with the Manufacturing Building. If you were facing the front of the Power Station the Manufacturing building would be directly to the left, behind the Landing Pad. If you're having trouble with the turrets in this area call in Vana to help with one of your target. Again the key is to attack from the side with the Blue light. On the far side of the Manufacturing Building there is an angle where you can get both turrets without having them fire back at you. Once they are gone take out the Manufacturing Building with another couple of Plasma Surges. Now all that's left is the Landing Pad.


Destroy Landing Pad

If you were hovering above the destroyed Manufacturing Building and the Power Station is on your left then the Landing Pad should be in front of you, over a ridge kind of tucked away. You've been through this routine a few times now so you should know what to do. Find the Landing Pad and take out the two turrets guarding it. Again, attack the turrets from the side with the Blue light to avoid being targeted. You can also ignore the turrets if you're super short on time since as soon as the Landing Pad is destroyed the Mission will end. Two Plasma Surges and a few shots from your laser will take it out.


Bonus Objectives
Bonus Objective 1 - Destroy Command Center in under 1 minute

Because of all the turrets around it's very tough to eliminate the Command Center without taking a beating. Eliminate the first two turrets between you and the Command Center using you zoom in feature and then charge your Plasma Scourge attack. Drop another Plasma Scourge on the Command Center along with a few shots from your lasers and it should go down in under a minute. If you're going to fail this Bonus Objective it's because you got caught up in the laser turrets. You'll need you shields and hull integrity for later in the mission, don't waste them here.


Bonus Objective 2 - Destroy Planetary Gun

The Planetary Gun is almost directly behind the Power Station and is guarded by two turrets. Attack the Planetary Gun after you destroy the Main Factory making it the third thing you destroy in the mission.

After you destroy the Main Factory stay on the factory side of this ridge with the Power Station on the other side and follow it to the right. Continue around left, following the lava flow until you see the Blue light of a turret on top of a ridge on the left. You should be almost directly behind the Power Station. Take out the turret and on the other side of the ridge you'll find the planetary gun and another turret. Destroy turret by attacking it from the Blue light side and then hit the gun with two Plasma Surges. Now head for the Power Station.
Bonus Objective 3 - Complete mission in under 8 minutes

Since you need to take out most of the turrets in the level in order to survive, eliminating them is one thing in the level you cannot skimp out on doing for the sake of time. You just have to be quick and precise with both finding and targeting turrets as well as destroying them with your lasers or energy bombs. Be sure to use your Plasma Surge attack to destroy all the buildings in the level and charge up the attack well before your in range to use it so no time is lost in charging. Ignore the Scarabs completely and don't go chasing down Hunter Seeker Droids or waste your time destroying those Droid Dispensers. The best aid you'll have in beating the level in less than eight minutes is knowing where each target and turret is ahead of time which means you'll probably have to play the level once or twice before you can do it.

Mission Objectives
Mission Objective 1 - Disable one Armed Freighter

This is the first mission that you'll be able to utilize Vana's Ion Encumbrance System that will take out an armed SuperFreighter's shields in one shot. You will need to use it often to get through this tricky mission. The attack is activated by first charging the blast by holding down the CIRCLE button and then you need to get very close to the target and then let the shot off. When it hits, an electrical field will surround the ship and its shields will be gone and it won't be able to move or fire on you. The attack does not work from any kind of distance; you must be very close to the ship for it to work.

At the very beginning of the mission start tagging and destroy the approaching swarm of fighters from a distance using your zoom button. When they pass follow the group of them, blasting as many as possible while still bunched together. Don't spend a lot of time chasing down fighters however. Within a 30 seconds or a minute of starting the mission get right to your first main objective which is to disable one of the SuperFreighters. Attack the last one in the convoy to avoid enemy fire from the other SuperFreighters. All it takes to disable the Freighter is to hit it with an Ion blast. Once it's disabled you can give a few moments of your attention to any remaining fighters attacking you at the moment. But not for long as there are SuperFreighters to destroy.

Mission Objective 2 - Protect Captured SuperFreighter

You can assign your wingmen to protect the disabled Freighter and Reti but they are just as useful in helping you destroy SuperFreighters. I've only had the SuperFreighter with Reti on it get destroyed once in all the times I have played the mission. You will want to keep the number of fighters down to avoid any hassle however. If you're going to die in this mission it's because of being swarmed by Droid Starfighters.


Mission Objective 3 - Destroy Armed Freighters

As soon as you disable the trailing SuperFreighter for Reti you should get on with the next task of destroying the rest of the Armed Freighters. There are eight Armed Freighters to destroy not including the disabled Freighter Reti is on. Immediately start to charge your Ion blast for the next closest SuperFreighter while you take out some fighters. When sufficiently charged home in on the Freighter and take out its shields. Then call in the support from your wingmen. As soon as the first Freighter is destroyed three Escape Pods will be launched. Go get them and while doing so charge up your Ion blast for the next Freighter. You should pick off the Freighter in the convoy to avoid a lot of the fire from the other Freighters. After three or four more Armed Freighters go down three Missile Frigates will show up along with a whole bunch of new fighters.


Go get them. Not only is the destruction the Missile Frigates one of your Bonus Objectives but they can do a lot of damage to your friends and the disabled Freighter. Use Ion blasts to disable each of the Missile Frigate's shields and send your friends in to attack. Thankfully at about the same time Reti will commandeer a group of Scarab that will follow your orders so get them to attack the Missile Frigates as well. This group of Scarabs will follow your commands even after the Missile Frigates go down, until they are destroyed by enemy fire. Be careful whom you shoot at. Be sure to target all Scarabs and if one has a green target around it, do not shoot at it.

At the same time a huge swarm of fighters will attack from the planet surface. You have to deal with these fighters or you won't last the mission. They attack in swarms though which makes them easy to pick off quickly. Once the amount of enemy fighters is significantly reduced go back to blowing up Armed Freighters. There should only be three or four of them left, even less if you've been efficient. As you destroy the rest of the Freighters more fighters will appear, both Scarabs and Droid Starfighters. You should deal with them while they are still in a swarm to take them out quickly. Ignoring them means you'll have trouble later once they surround you and pelt you with an endless flow of laser blasts. By the time the last Freighter is destroyed Reti should be talking about leaving, saying that he needs thirty more seconds. Get the disabled Freighter in your sights and the instant Reti leaves blast it along with your friends. When it goes down the Mission will be completed.

Bonus Objectives

Bonus Objective 1 - Destroy all Droid Escape Pods

As soon as you destroy the first Trade Federation Armed Freighter three Droid Escape Pods will be ejected. Your wingman will let you know they have been released but they won't automatically appear in as targets. Press the TRIANGLE button to cycle through the available targets until one of the Escape Pods pops up. Do this immediately after the Freighter is destroyed to give yourself the most time to catch it. Chase it down and destroy the two others next to it to accomplish the first Bonus Objective. Remember that you have to be very quick or else they will warp out of the system. Also don't forget to tag them before you fire on them to make sure you waste the least amount of time destroying them.


Bonus Objective 2 - Complete mission in under 8 minutes

Beating the mission in less than eight minutes is the toughest Bonus Objective to meet. If you don't get right to your main objectives then the mission can drag on for a long time. Reti like to take his time to loot the Freighter and even longer to get off the ship at the end of the mission. The key is to get right to things and to not be distracted by the swarms of Scarabs and Droid Starfighters. Right from the start of the mission you'll want to boost over to the last SuperFreighter in the convoy and hit it with and Ion blast to disable it. The next event that has to occur is you and your team destroying every last SuperFreighter so get on it immediately. Take out enemy fighters as they appear in front of you but never go chasing after them at too much length, keeping the Freighters as your priority.

You can do everything right and still finish after 8 minutes, meaning that there is a little luck involved in getting gold. You always seem to have to wait until Reti is ready to leave the disabled Freighter at the end of the mission. He'll give you a thirty-second warning that always seems to take a little longer than thirty seconds before he actually leaves. Because you'll have only seconds to destroy the disabled Freighter once he's gone, have it in your sights even before Reti leaves so the instant he does you can take it out and finish the mission.

Bonus Objective 3 - Destroy all Missile Frigates

After the first four Freighters go down three Missile Frigates will appear. At the same time a load of fighters will attack but to help you out Reti has commandeered a bunch of Scarab that you can order to attack whatever target you wish. Order an attack on one of the Missile Frigates and don't forget to take out their shields with an ion blast at close range. As you are putting down the last two Missile Frigates fighters will swarm you. Stay focused on the Missile Frigates but don't turn down an easy kill if a fighter flies through your sights. Once all three Frigates are gone you will receive a medal.

Mission Objectives

Mission Objective 1 - Escort Reti to Resistance Base

As admitted by the game's creators, this is the hardest level in the game. The canyon you have to fly through is very narrow at some spots but that's not the worst of it. In order to best protect Reti you don't actually want to fly along side him but rather fly on ahead of him and eliminate all enemies before they can even fire on Reti.

At the start of the mission boost way ahead of Reti down the canyon. Ignore his calls to stick to his side, he'll be fine as long as you can take out most of the enemies along the way before Reti reaches them. The first to baddies you'll encounter are a pair of STAPs. Easily blast them while you hit and hold the brakes before entering the clearing ahead. While still in the canyon target the first two tanks towards the left and then target the Dropship that is leaving above you. A couple of torpedoes along with some laser blasts will take it out. After the Dropship is destroyed take out the remaining tanks on the ground. If you get targeted by one or more of them pull a boost then brake maneuver that will send you into a powerslide. Use the momentum to avoid their blasts while you target the tanks with your lasers. This technique is important to master for this level. There are seven tanks total plus three more STAPs in the first clearing. After they have all been destroyed boost down the next canyon, ahead of Reti.

Down the second canyon you'll face both STAPs and tanks strategically placed along the path. You should do your best to take them all out but if you miss one Reti can still survive. If you want to go back for a target you pass in the canyon don't try turning left or right to make a U-turn. Always do a loop or a half loop to turn around and go back the other way in a canyon. Down the second canyon you'll face a STAP first and then around the bend look for a tank on the ground. Around the following bend destroy another STAP and further down you'll face two tanks and a STAP. Destroy those and continue down. A little further take out a single tank and around the next left take out two more tanks. Now boost ahead and you'll face two more tanks and then finally at the end of the canyon destroy two more tanks. At the same time hit your brakes and hold them while you pick off tanks in the next clearing from afar using the zoom button.
In the next clearing is another Dropship and a whole bunch of tanks. There are two tanks to your immediate left in the clearing, a group of four tanks in the middle of the clearing, a couple tanks on the far side of the clearing and two huge MTTs are moving through. Ignore the MTTs and focus your attack, first on the two tanks to your immediate left and then the group of four. If your going for gold then you should take out the Dropship with a couple of torpedoes (don't even wait for a lock to fire) before you take on the group of four tanks. Watch out, it's easy to die here with all the tanks around. Use your powerslide move by boosting and then braking while you turn to avoid laser blasts and continue to target the tanks. Once all the tanks have been destroyed boost down the next canyon.

The third canyon is the tightest in the game, very tough to make it without hitting a wall. If you're going to hit a wall then soften the blow by hitting the wall with the side of your ship rather than your nose. In the canyon are five turret mines along with the same number of slightly camouflaged Missile Tanks on the ground below you. To just finish the mission you don't actually need to worry about the Missile Tanks, they don't fire at you or Reti. You'll want to take them out if your trying to get gold however. You will definitely want to eliminate the Turret Mines though. They only take a few shots to destroy and they are bad shots so they aren't much trouble. Getting them and all the Missile Tanks is a much tougher task. In the following clearing you'll face five more Missile tanks and some Scarabs who are in a fight with some N-1 Resistance Fighters. Give them a hand and take out the tanks and the Scarabs before you head down the last canyon.

Down the last canyon you face more tanks and even run into some MTTs. First you'll hit an MTT and a Tank. Take them out and boost ahead. Around the next bend you'll face three tanks and then a little further, three more tanks are in your way. You'll run into three more Tanks before the last straight shot through the canyon to the Resistance Base.
Mission Objective 2 - Rescue N-1 Resistance Escorts

Basically by taking out all of the Scarabs (four of them) in the third clearing takes care of this objective. You still want to take out all tanks and enemies in your path ahead to protect them but they can last a while, long enough at least to save the Resistance Base and finish the mission.
Mission Objective 3 - Defend Resistance Base

While your still in the final stretch of the last canyon before the Resistance Base hit and hold your brakes and zoom in on the tanks in the clearing. Take them out from afar using your lasers. Once in the last clearing there will be two large MTTs, a bunch of Tanks, four Scarabs and two groups of Trade Federation Droids to take out. Pretty easy considering what you've been through so far. Take them all out to finish the mission. What out for your own buildings as you give the Trade Federation a pounding.

 

Bonus Objectives

Bonus Objective 1 - Destroy all AMTs

There are ten Missile Tanks in the mission to destroy to complete this Bonus Objective. You'll find five Missile Tanks in the third clearing attacking N-1Resistance fighters that are easy enough to spot but there are five more hidden back down the previous narrow canyon. Each one is located under or near each of the five Turret Mines. Because they are gray they really blend into the canyon rock plus a few of them are tucked away making them impossible to spot from the direction your coming. They are easier to spot going the other direction and if your not going for a fast time it is a good idea for you to go back down the canyon in the opposite direction to find them all. When you're going for a good time then you'll want to take them all out the first time through. When you come to a turret look on the ground for a Missile Tank. They are sometimes a little down the path but not far and a few are tucked around bend to the right. Those are the toughest to get. Try pulling a loop above where one should be to spot and then target them. When you get to the next clearing take out the remaining five Missile tanks to earn the bonus. One of the N-1 pilots will say great shot and ask you to help them with the rest of the Scarabs in the area when the last one is destroyed.


 
Bonus Objective 2 - Destroy all Dropships

There are three Dropships to destroy in this mission. The first one is hovering at the front of the first clearing. The second is found hovering above the front of the second clearing. The final Dropship is found at the end of the mission hovering above the action at the Resistance Base. Dropships take two torpedoes and some laser blasts to be destroyed and since they are such large targets you don't have to wait for a lock to fire. Each Dropship you encounter is on its way out so be quick if you plan on destroying it before it leaves the area.


Bonus Objective 3 - Complete mission in under 7 minutes

The key to finishing the mission in under seven minutes while still meeting all the Bonus Objectives is to boost through the canyons between targets and don't waste time going back for anything. You've got to shoot everything down the first time you encounter it. The fight with Scarabs in the third clearing can hang you up if they manage to dodge your lasers or fly to high for you to reach them, reason to save a torpedo or two. As long as you're quick through the canyons you should be able to beat the game in less than seven minutes.
