[comp.sys.amiga] Xenon II

nn86302@tut.fi (Neuvo Niilo Anselmi) (10/19/89)

	Has anyone else played Xenon II to the finish. Well I did(ha).
	As usual I was expecting a flashy ending, but all I got on
	my TV was a small white dot and a beep which slowly faded
	away. The shopkeeper said something about turning off your
	TV. The white dot and the beep might have simulated turning
	off an old TV. I'd like to know if this has happened to anyone
	else. I hope my version of Xenon II doesn't have a bug. If I
	remember correctly Xenon I didn't have an ending at all. It
	just started all over again (as does Xenon II, except that
	it is twice as hard ie the enemy has to be shot at twice as
	many times). I don't know what happens if you get past it
	for the third time (wasn't really that interested).

	Ps. I DIDN'T USE A TRAINER (to all you crackers)!

I have seen quite a lot of questions about how to master Xenon II.

So here is how I play it through:

 Level one:
 - shoot two pods to get speed
 - shoot one lonely pod to get rear cannon
 In the first shop don't bother to buy anything exept if your
 running low with energy
 - shoot all pods that comes near
 Ending monster level one
  - shoot in the eye  EASY!!
 In the second shop:
  - sell rear cannon
  - buy double-shots+side shot

 After this point in game don't I repeat DON'T take rear cannon NEWER again

 In the shops from now on try to get a follwing amount of weapons
 - power 3 double-shot in front
 - power 3 side shot
 - 4*lasers 2 bolted on each side of the ship

 As you get a cannon on level 3(I think, don't remember for sure)
 sell it when you allready have 3 lasers, don't sell it before

 Also keep in mind that in the first shop in each level (exept 5)
 you cannot buy lasers!

 In the level 5 halfway shop buy extra lifes to make sure you get
 the game mastered. Don't buy any lifes before because they are
 cheaper in the last (5 halfway) shop.

 Okay the ending monsters (I don't remember their order of appearance)
 - scorpion move left and right to avoid hands and shoot two eyes
 - spider: let screen scroll until the spider moves they go backwards
   as fast as possible then shoot in the head
 - the guy with snakes coming in and out: first shoot eye on either side
   (which is located in the rear end) then go back by using this nice
   method pull joy back, then after the ship starts going forward
   again, hit the ship in the guy and you can go backwards again
   Go to the other side, shoot the other eye. Now you can go backwards
   unlimited amount of time, shoot the last eye in the middle and
   get the tokens!!
 - other long guy with long neck: Shoot the small heads with side shots
   use laser with the tail go back and the shoot the head EASY!!
 - Snake : go between the first two holes shoot him with side shots
   then after it disappears go between the second holes and he should
   be dead.
 - Level four ending monster, the frog: Mega easy, go as high as you can
   between the frogs fingers. As soon as the both eyes are killed
   you don't have to avoid the laserbeams coming from the eyes, just
   stay there and let the side shots do the job!!
 - Level five halfway monster, the tank: You have to have 4 lasers
   before this point, just avoid the big bead and keep hitting fire
   Don't take homing missiles even though you could. There are four
   cannons in tank which are your first goal. The homing missiles
   coming from tank die in your lasers. First time quite hard but
   after few tries easy.
 - Level 5 five end, the space-ship: First shoot all the cannon towers
   and bursts in the behind. After destroying all the towers and lasers
   go back and kill the bastard with shots in the middle of it's
   tail. This is hard and your gonna die few ships but it can be done!!!

 If you still have problems with it...try harder!!!!!!
