So, is there any little thing I can type into the high > score table (or whatever) to make life easier? Posted by ? a few months ago 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!!!!!! MIT -- ->Mikko " It's a kind of magic...
