I. INTRODUCTION AND VERSION NOTES
==============================================================================
The SRW community, and the gaming community at large, lost a member on
June 27, 2003 with Dragoon T. He was always knowledgable, great to speak to,
and personally gave me some great feedback on a few guides. He was considering
making a FAQ for the secrets in SRW@2, and I thought making a "Quickie Help
Guide" would be a way to create a tribute to his memory. We'll miss ya man.
==============================================================================
II. SECRET CHARACTERS
==============================================================================
This is a list of characters that can be recruited during the game. This
particular list is restricted to characters and any units or battleships are
listed under Secret Units.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bundle, Kadonar, and Kernagurl
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
These three Goshogun villains can be recruited for the final scenario of
the game in Bundle's battleship. There are two ways of triggering their
appearance.
Method #1: On Scenario 48, do not destroy Bundle, Kadonar, or
Kernagurl's battleships. Reduce the number of other enemy squads and
these three will help you for the remainder of the battle and return in
Scenario 57.
Method #2: On Scenario 48, reduce the Shark Kustos' HP to below 30,000
and the rest of the scenario will play out like it did in the first
method. The advantage of this method is that you can defeat Bundle,
Kadonar, and Kernagurl since they will show up again. This way you can
pick up the High Performance Radar that Bundle pops.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dorel Ronah
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
To recruit Dorel a battle encounter must take place in Scenario 38
between Dorel and either Berah (Mother Vanguard captain) or Kinkaid
(Crossbone X-1's pilot). My personal suggestion is to have Kinkaid move
away from Zabine to have a battle encounter with Dorel, and then have
Kinkaid deal with Zabine.
Choose to accept Haman's peace offer at the end of Scenario 49 and Dorel
will join with his Berga Dalas.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Haman
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Accept Haman's peace offer at the end of Scenario 49. Haman will join
with her Qubeley after Scenario 52.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hannel & Richter
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kazuya (Daimos) must accept Halleck's challenge to a duel and have Kazuya
(Daimos), Kenichi (Voltes V), and Hyoma (Combattler V) all have battle
encounters with Richter on Scenario 28 before destroying him there.
These two will show up to aid you in the final battle and are much more
helpful than the other two "secret" reinforcements.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Musashi
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Musashi can be saved (but will be a copilot for Michiru's Lady Command
instead of remaining as Black Getter's pilot) along with Black Getter.
Musashi can not be saved on Arad or Ibis routes.
Kusuha route requirements:
1.) Scenario 09: Ryoma needs to defeat Radora's Shigu.
2.) Scenario 23: Ryoma needs to use "Convince" on Radora in Scenario
23. Feel free to destroy the Shigu in this stage.
3.) Scenario 24: Ryoma needs to have a battle encounter with Radora
and Radora's Shigu must not be destroyed during Scenario 24.
Zengar route requirements:
1.) Scenario 05: Ryoma must fight Radora.
2.) Scenario 19: Ryoma must fight Zanki (blue skinned guy in a roman
helmet)
3.) Scenario 23: Ryoma needs to use "Convince" on Radora in Scenario
23. Feel free to destroy the Shigu in this stage.
4.) Scenario 24: Ryoma needs to have a battle encounter with Radora
and Radora's Shigu must not be destroyed during Scenario 24.
Thanks to Alt Eisen for the information on Radora, and Gahleon for
trimming the required information down. ^^
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pizza
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pizza will arrive to help you defeat EI-01 (Pasdar) if you chose Mikenese
route before Scenario 46.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Radora
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Radora is one of the Getter villains in this game, who can actually be
recruited on Super Robot routes in the game. Radora is easily noticable
for his blue helmet with a yellow V-fin (he actually looks like he has a
Gundam Maxter helmet). The extra benefit of acquiring Radora is that
Musashi will be saved (but will be a copilot for Michiru's Lady Command
instead of remaining as Black Getter's pilot) along with Black Getter.
Radora's Shigu is a nice unit overall, and a welcome additional flying
unit... especially since it has one of the strongest Platoon Attacks in
the game.
Radora can not be recruited on Ibis or Arad routes.
Kusuha route requirements:
1.) Scenario 09: Ryoma needs to defeat Radora's Shigu.
2.) Scenario 23: Ryoma needs to use "Convince" on Radora in Scenario
23. Feel free to destroy the Shigu in this stage.
3.) Scenario 24: Ryoma needs to have a battle encounter with Radora
and Radora's Shigu must not be destroyed during Scenario 24.
Zengar route requirements:
1.) Scenario 05: Ryoma must fight Radora.
2.) Scenario 19: Ryoma must fight Zanki (blue skinned guy in a roman
helmet)
3.) Scenario 23: Ryoma needs to use "Convince" on Radora in Scenario
23. Feel free to destroy the Shigu in this stage.
4.) Scenario 24: Ryoma needs to have a battle encounter with Radora
and Radora's Shigu must not be destroyed during Scenario 24.
Thanks to Alt Eisen for the information on Radora, and Gahleon for
trimming the required information down. ^^
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reclaimers
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quincy, Jonathon, and Sheila will arrive to aid you in the final scenario
if a few requirements are met.
Scenario 26 Neo Zeon: Deploy Yuu and have him still be alive when Quincy
is defeated in this scenario.
Scenario 29 Novis Novah route: Deploy Yuu and have him still be alive
when Quincy is defeated in this scenario.
Scenario 52: Defeat Quincy's Grand Cher and Baronz Grand Cher with Yuu's
Nelly Brain.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Richter & Hannel
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kazuya (Daimos) must accept Halleck's challenge to a duel and have Kazuya
(Daimos), Kenichi (Voltes V), and Hyoma (Combattler V) all have battle
encounters with Richter on Scenario 28 before destroying him there.
These two will show up to aid you in the final battle and are much more
helpful than the other two "secret" reinforcements.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Takeru
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Takeru is only available on Zengar's route. Use Jeeg and only Jeeg to
defeat Takeru in Scenario 19. Takeru will arrive during Scenario 22 and
join afterwards.
Overall a nice unit with a very good platoon attack. Unfortunately he
has a movement rate of only 5 and is unable to fly. >_<
==============================================================================
III. SECRET UNITS
==============================================================================
This is the list of Secret Units in the game. This list is restricted to
mecha or battleships. Characters can be found under the Secret Characters
section.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Berga Dalas
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Berga Dalas is Dorel Ronah's unit. To earn both this unit and Dorel a
battle encounter must take place in Scenario 38 between Dorel and either
Berah (Mother Vanguard captain) or Kinkaid (Crossbone X-1's pilot). My
personal suggestion is to have Kinkaid move away from Zabine to have a
battle encounter with Dorel, and then have Kinkaid deal with Zabine.
Choose to accept Haman's peace offer at the end of Scenario 49 and Dorel
will join with his Berga Dalas.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bundle's Battleship
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
These three Goshogun villains can be recruited for the final scenario of
the game in this battleship. There are two ways of triggering their
appearance.
Method #1: On Scenario 48, do not destroy Bundle, Kadonar, or
Kernagurl's battleships. Reduce the number of other enemy squads and
these three will help you for the remainder of the battle and return in
Scenario 57.
Method #2: On Scenario 48, reduce the Shark Kustos' HP to below 30,000
and the rest of the scenario will play out like it did in the first
method. The advantage of this method is that you can defeat Bundle,
Kadonar, and Kernagurl since they will show up again. This way you can
pick up the High Performance Radar that Bundle pops.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chimera & Gordoll
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kazuya (Daimos) must accept Halleck's challenge to a duel and have Kazuya
(Daimos), Kenichi (Voltes V), and Hyoma (Combattler V) all have battle
encounters with Richter on Scenario 28 before destroying him there.
These two will show up to aid you in the final battle and are much more
helpful than the other two "secret" reinforcements.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Crossbone Gundam X2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is available on Scenario 10-Ibis. Start the duel off by saving,
since there is a likely chance you will need to reload. Hit X2 with the
Zaku II F2's Heat Hawk, and keep reloading until you successfully hit it.
On Turn 2 an event will happen and X2 will be hit again. Hit X2 one more
time and with any luck you will reduce its HP to critical and Tobia will
receive X2 instead of a Zaku II F2. ^_^;
The unit is also available on Zengar's route, but Tobia and Rose's levels
should allow Crossbone X2 to go down easily with two strikes without
being destroyed. Crossbone X2 is a mandatory unit on Arad's route. The
unit is not available on Kusuha's route.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Doven Wolf
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Accept Haman's Peace Offer and it will be delivered after Scenario 49.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
FAZZ (Full Armor Double Zeta)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is an optional set of parts for Double Zeta that will be received
after Scenario 43.
On Scenario 33, have Tobia in Crossbone X3 destroy Dogachi's white mobile
armor. Anyone can deal damage to the unit, but Tobia needs to land the
finishing blow.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gundam GP02
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a compulsory unit on Arad's route. On Ibis, Kusuha, and Zengar's
routes Kou needs 80 kills before Scenario 38 starts. GP02 will be
delivered after Scenario 43. Attacks include Vulcans, Beam Saber, and
its Beam Bazooka that is an ALL Attack. GP02's nuclear bazooka is
another secret in the game. See "Nuclear Bazooka for GP02" in this
secrets section for more information.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi-Nu Gundam
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is an extra unit that will be delivered after Scenario 43.
Before Scenario 38 starts, you need to place Amuro in Re-GZ. Amuro needs
to have a battle encounter with Char while Re-GZ is in mobile suit form
(eject the BWS). Amuro needs to survive the battle encounter, but the
Flash spell should ensure his survival.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
MP Qubeley
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two MP Qubeleys will be delivered to your team with no designated pilots
if Puru and Puru Two each have 30 kills and you accept Haman's peace
offer. The MP Qubeleys will be delivered after Scenario 49. The MP
Qubeleys will also carry over upgrades made to Puru and Puru Two's
Qubeley Mk. IIs.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nightingale
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nightingale is not an obtainable unit, I repeat it is not an obtainable
unit. Nightingale will be Char's unit during your final encounter with
him if you take a few steps.
On Scenario 38 you must reduce the HP of Char's Sazabi to below 50,000.
On Scenario 53-Accept Haman's Peace Route, destroy Char's Sazabi. On
Scenario 55-Refuse Haman's Peace Route, destroy Char's Sazabi. Char will
then sortie in Nightingale in your final encounter with him... which is a
much more fearsome unit than Sazabi already was.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nu Gundam HWS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is an optional set of parts for Nu Gundam. They will be delivered
for your existing Nu Gundam after Scenario 43.
The only requirement is that Nu Gundam's weapons must be upgraded by
five blocks (50%) before Scenario 42. The upgrade cost will be 120,000
if you want to prepare before hand.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reclaimers
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quincy, Jonathon, and Sheila will arrive to aid you in the final scenario
if a few requirements are met.
Scenario 26 Neo Zeon: Deploy Yuu and have him still be alive when Quincy
is defeated in this scenario.
Scenario 29 Novis Novah route: Deploy Yuu and have him still be alive
when Quincy is defeated in this scenario.
Scenario 52: Defeat Quincy's Grand Cher and Baronz Grand Cher with Yuu's
Nelly Brain.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shigu
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shigu is Radora's unit. It is a flying unit that makes for an excellent
assist attacker and serves as an excellent squad mate.
Kusuha route requirements:
1.) Scenario 09: Ryoma needs to defeat Radora's Shigu.
2.) Scenario 23: Ryoma needs to use "Convince" on Radora in Scenario
23. Feel free to destroy the Shigu in this stage.
3.) Scenario 24: Ryoma needs to have a battle encounter with Radora
and Radora's Shigu must not be destroyed during Scenario 24.
Zengar route requirements:
1.) Scenario 05: Ryoma must fight Radora.
2.) Scenario 19: Ryoma must fight Zanki (blue skinned guy in a roman
helmet)
3.) Scenario 23: Ryoma needs to use "Convince" on Radora in Scenario
23. Feel free to destroy the Shigu in this stage.
4.) Scenario 24: Ryoma needs to have a battle encounter with Radora
and Radora's Shigu must not be destroyed during Scenario 24.
Thanks to Alt Eisen for the information on Radora, and Gahleon for
trimming the required information down. ^^
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stealth Gao II/Star Gaogaigar
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is an optional part for Gaogaigar. Attacks gain a power boost of
300 and Broken Magnum receives a significant upgrade and increases by
600. Hell and Heaven will be replaced with Gatling Driver, that is 300
base AT stronger and is an ALL Attack. Hammer Hell and Heaven will
remain available. Gaogaigar will gain 770 more HP, 20 more EN, 1 more to
its movement rate, 5 more to its mobility stat, and 145 more to its
Armor.
This part requires two things. First off Guy's terrain ratings must be
S in all categories (yes some people say you only need Land, Space, and
Air, but they are incorrect). Gaogaigar's HP must also be depleted to
500 or below on Scenario 47. The part will be delivered after Scenario
47 on Tokyo route. The part will be delivered at the beginning of
Scenario 48 (you can equip it before deploying your units into battle).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Takeru
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Takeru is only available on Zengar's route. Use Jeeg and only Jeeg to
defeat Takeru in Scenario 19. Takeru will arrive during Scenario 22 and
join afterwards.
Overall a nice unit with a very good platoon attack. Unfortunately he
has a movement rate of only 5 and is unable to fly. >_<
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Qubeley
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Accept Haman's peace offer at the end of Scenario 49. Haman will join
with her Qubeley after Scenario 52.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wing Gundam
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is available on all scenarios. All 5 of the Gundam Wing boys need
their combined levels to add up to 170 or more before the end of Scenario
32.
Wing Gundam is similar to Wing Zero Custom other than it is -slightly-
weaker overall. The Buster Rifle is also ammo dependent (6 shots)
instead of being EN based. Wing Gundam also has a very nice 1-4 range
(P) attack that involves flying toward an enemy in Bird mode,
transforming above them, and delivering a powerful beam saber slash.
Unfortunately (and obviously) Wing Gundam does not have the Zero system.
Personally I think it a much more balanced unit than Zero Custom and will
be a welcome addition for anyone. Yes this is the Ver. Ka. (Version
Katoki) version of Wing Gundam. If you don't know what that means, it is
just a re-design of Wing Gundam that Hajime Katoki created after the TV
series aired.
==============================================================================
IV. SECRET ATTACKS
==============================================================================
This is a list of secret attacks in the game... all of which are
restricted to Gundam units only. ^^;
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Crossbone Gundam X1's Scissor Anchor
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Crossbone X2's HP must be reduced to below half its total HP on Scenario
38. Crossbone X1 will be unavailable until Scenario 43. It is slightly
weaker than the Beam Cutlass, but it has a range of 1-4 and finally gives
X1 a decent ranged (P) Attack for when the ABC Cloak is not equipped.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Mega Cannon
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is ZZ's (and FAZZ's) strongest attack (see the end of Double Zeta).
Judau earns this attack by having a battle encounter with Haman on
Scenario 36 Axis Route or a battle encounter with Char on Scenario 38 if
you chose the Moon route.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hyper Beam Saber/Sword of Fury
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Camille in Zeta Gundam can gain access to this attack by having a battle
encounter with Yazan in Scenario 38. Zeta can be in either mobile suit
or Wave Rider modes. It is a nice attack that is (P) with 4100 base
starting AT and a range of 3-5.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nuclear Bazooka for GP02
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Refuse Haman's peace offer in Scenario 49. After Scenario 55 you will
receive this optional equipment for GP02 that you have to equip yourself.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ra Kailum Nuclear Weapons
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a lot of misinformation on this one. Bright will immediately
receive the nuclear weapons for Ra Kailum if you make peace with Haman.
If you choose not to accept peace with Haman, then Bright will receive
the nukes for use in Scenario 55. Basically it is a non-secret that is
confusing for some. ^^;
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wave Rider Crash
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Camille in Zeta Gundam can gain access to this attack by having a battle
encounter with Yazan in Scenario 38. Zeta can be in either mobile suit
or Wave Rider modes. It is a nice attack that is (P) with 4500 base
starting AT and a range of 1-3.
==============================================================================
V. TRICKS
==============================================================================
This is the only real trick or bug in the game. It is extremely useful
though. ^_^
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Goshogun Item Duplication
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
A really neat trick that Shouga discovered. In Scenario 45, Goshogun
will receive a power-up and GoFlasher will become GoFlasher Special.
After the scenario, whatever items that Goshogun had equipped will be
duplicated. You could equip Goshogun with a Haro during that scenario,
and afterwards the item screen will say that the Haro is not equipped on
any unit. A duplicated Haro will be equipped on Goshogun though. The
unfortunate aspect of this trick is that whatever item was duplicated
will be lost if Goshogun's equipment is changed. Basically if you use
this trick, you will want to equip Goshogun with items it will have for
the rest of the game. A Haro would be an obvious choice for one item
slot. A Mega Booster, Cost Down, or a GS Rider would all be good choices
for that second slot though. I like the GS Rider myself since GoFlasher
Special uses a lot of EN, but a High Performance Radar would be nice for
increased range.
Again, thanks to Shouga for the information.
