SMALL NEWS CLIPPING =============================================================================== I started to write this Mission Mode guide on February 06, 2004 and I devoted one new section on my Fatal Frame 2 walkthrough. However, I realize that not many people notice that I have a Mission Mode faq inside my walkthrough. That is why I want to place this guide separately and I hope C_Jay_C will give his permission for this. I will keep updating my walkthrough and my Mission Mode faq. =============================================================================== MISSION MODE =============================================================================== I started this Mission Mode right after my first ending on Normal mode. I often use Zero Function level 3 to boost up high score, and on specific mission I use Blast level 3 with Type Zero to preserve Spirit Power (SP). Fatal Frame and 3-Hit Combo Fatal Frame with Zero lvl.3 is crucial. I have not obtained Crush Function, yet. Finished the Mission Mode 100% with SS and S Ranks all by myself :) (: !==========================================! !Completion Rate with Zero Function Level 3! !100% SS/056% S/100% ! !==========================================! Mission 01: SS Mission 11: SS Mission 21: S Mission 02: SS Mission 12: S Mission 22: SS Mission 03: SS Mission 13: SS Mission 23: SS Mission 04: S Mission 14: S Mission 24: SS Mission 05: S Mission 15: SS Mission 25: S Mission 06: SS Mission 16: SS Mission 07: S Mission 17: S Mission 08: S Mission 18: SS Mission 09: SS Mission 19: SS Mission 10: S Mission 20: S Important Notes: ================ *Zero Shot level 3: This guide is mainly based on the Zero shot level 3 destructive power. You need at least Zero shot level 3 to achieve the BETTER results. And you need to equip Crush level 3 to achieve the BEST results easily. But since the walkthrough is not yet completed to the Hard level, please allow me to prepare for the current solutions. As for the future updates, I will also include the solutions by using Crush level 3. *Recharge One Spirit Power: With Zero level 3, you will always short of one spirit power to complete your 3-Hit Combo Fatal Frame. That is why in the beginning of a specific mission, you need to recharge it by capturing the hostile spirit within the normal (Yellow) Circle Gauge and not within the Zero Circle Gauge (Red). Sometimes, they will show only Zero Circle Gauge (Red), in this case, do not aim for the Core so you can preserve as little damage as possible. That is because you need to do the 3-Hit Combo Fatal Frame. If the HP of the spirit is less than enough, than you will screw up. *Types of Film: Always check the Item on the Menu Screen. Some missions allow you to use more powerful film such as Type Zero. Use it wisely to achieve the requirement on each specific mission. *Fatal Frame and Combo: Please refer to the Fatal Frame section. *It is crucial to use EVADE continuously to be on a save side. *The Camera auto search is sometimes SUCKs because it will often auto search to the spirit behind you or to whatever direction especially when you are fighting more than one (read my review-not yet:). That is why you need to off the viewfinder, change your direction, go to viewfinder again. Very troublesome when you need a fast action in the middle of the fight! *You are given some useful items such as Type-14/61/90/Zero, Herbal Medicine x1 along your Flashlight and your dear camera. The type and quantity is depending on each specific mission. *Most of the enemies in the Mission Mode is more vulnerable than in the original game. For example, in the real game you can perform 3-Hit Combo FF to one Limbo Man. In mission 23 and some other mission, you can only perform 2-Hit Combo FF, thus will decrease your point getter significantly. *You do not need to wear new costume and accessory to finish the Mission Mode successfully. *Other Info: There are some details on the Select Mission screen: 1. Completion Rate: ------------------- It is the % of your total accomplishment on completing all the 25 missions. Completion Rate 00-% SS/00-% S/00-% There are only 2(two) Ranks that will be counted to the % in total; SS Rank: 4% for each successful mission. S Rank: 4% for each successful mission. For example, if you have completed 2(two) missions with an S rank; Completion Rate 008% SS/00-% S/008% And when you replay the mission to achieve an SS rank for both the missions; Completion Rate 008% SS/008% S/008% As you can see, the % on the S rank is still counting as an addition to the new SS/008%. When you achieve an SS Rank, the % for the S Rank is automatically filled up by 4% times how many missions. 2.High Score: ------------- It is the high score/best score/best time you have achieved based on the mission requirement. 3.Rank icons (on the left side): -------------------------------- Rank SS is signed by a Red Crimson Butterfly icon Rank S is signed by a Red Crimson Butterfly icon Rank A is signed by a "OK" Rank B is signed by a "OK" Rank C is signed by a "OK" Whatever the rank you get, the prize will be the same, except that I have experienced different prizes on rare occasions. 4. Other than that, you can press various buttons for additional helps: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- X button to select mission. Triangle button to go back to Setup Screen. Square button to go to Album or to Save the progress. L1 and R1 to change between pages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- General Info/Tips: - You will get prizes (points) based on the rank achievement. But you will get only once, even when you get an SS rank on the next trying, it will not count. It will only count for the first time you completed the mission you had chosen, what ever the rank. So please give it the best! (You may want to restart the mission if you do not get the best result, but maybe it is not necessary. Up to you.) The prize itself is vary depends on your time/score achievement. The faster/better you finish your job, the better the prizes will be? - If you happened to fail the requirement of a specific mission, (dead, out of time+) then you will not get a rank nor a prize. - If you are dead or out of time, then you are failed and will not get a rank. - The in-game clock will not running when you are playing the Mission game. - Mio can do a sprint start if you press and hold walk faster before the mission starts. - Well, you probably should do this mission after you have completed the game in Hard level. Or, is there a benefit in completing it before the Hard level? - Each mission worth 4%, so all 25 missions worth 100% :)~ - Hey, you got Herbal Medicine. Quantity depends on the specific mission. Will it affect the ranks when used? Maybe not. - It is best to start a 3-Hit Combo Fatal Frame with a FF,Z,Core shot since it will give you the BEST possible points or maybe with an additional Close Shot! and then finish it with a Zero 3 Combo with a Core Shot! - Your high scores on the Mission Mode will not be carried away to the Menu Screen, but it will be displayed on the Mission Screen. - Difficulty Setting: * is Easy ** is Average *** is Hard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 1: (SS)** Place: Osaka House, 2F, Study.

Or to finish up Veiled Priest the first time you met him (if possible) because he is very slow to catch up with you when you are moving from one room to another -wasting your time-.

Useful Items: -Type-14 Filmx30 -Type Zerox5 -Herbal Medicinex1 *Zero level 3 Solution: -You need to perform at least 2-Hit Combo FF to each of them. -Otherwise aim for Double Shot and Double Kill. (I manage to get it once for 3 times in a row resulting about 75000 points in only 3/4 shooting chance, but I fail the mission running out of HP >_<) -To achieve that, you need to watch carefully for their pattern: Limbo Man is very slow you can persuade/lure them to your advantage. Limbo Woman is having random showing up. -Drag Limbo Manx2 to walk together side by side to a position/corner and shoot for Double Shot + Double Kill (if possible). -Always use 3rd person view to locate where are the enemies. Wait until they give sign/show up then you can walk faster to lure Limbo Man to wherever the hot spot is. -Also pay attention to the filament on the bottom-right to locate them when in viewfinder mode and search faster by pressing [] button. -Most important is to get as many Fatal Frame shot you can get to boost up high score/total points. -When your Spirit Power reach 3 gauge or more, you may prefer to equip Type Zero for the Double Shot and Double Kill. -Or else, defeat all the Limbo Woman and make your happy hunting day :) Note: -This is the only mission where you do not have to worry about the quantity of the enemies. However they are weaker than the original and you can only perform 2-Hit Combo FF. -Walk faster from side to side to place your enemies on the hot spot then shoot for Fatal Frame or high score. -You are always welcome to use some point’s getter trick. Example; Perform a Fatal Frame shot. The 2nd time perform Zero3-Type Zero, -Do not stand/spend too much time on the same spot. They will capture you from behind. -It is difficult to get Double Shot for Limbo Woman, it is better to get 2-Hit FF to finish off each of them.

Rank: CLEAR TIME. Starting HP: Full Health. Useful Items: -Type-14 Filmx30 -Herbal Medicinex1 *Zero level 3 Solution: -Go into the red fog to make it disappear for 6 times in a row. At the 7th, open viewfinder as Sae is going to come after you. Aim for the Core shot. Aim again while walking backward. You can take several shots as long as Sae keeps approaching. (Depends on the time consuming, you should open viewfinder at the 6th or 7th appearance) And Sae will show up a few times chasing after you. Use this chance to restore your SP. When your SP is full, use Zero lvl.3 to Sae to give damage. Remember to keep at least 1 SP for later performance. This action will make Sae disappear and repeat the process from the beginning, which is perfect. Why? Because by doing so, we will cut the time consuming to get Sae to perform her Fatal Frame pose. -Repeat the chasing, aiming and snapping. -After a few turns, she will give you a chance for a Fatal Frame. (Just wait for the red flash to blink) Do not get too close otherwise she will disappear. Perform 3-Hit Combo FF-Zero3-Type-14,Zero,Core. Just do not perform it when the Kusabi is within your Capture Gauge because it will fail to combo. -Repeat. Note: -If when capturing for Sae image, the Kusabi's Core is within your Capture Gauge, then your capture is a failure to the Kusabi. -When the Kusabi is reaching you faster, you need to release your viewfinder mode to 3rd person view and run/walk faster to avoid him. -When Sae catches you, your HP will drop to 1/6. Using a Herbal Medicine will not do anything good for the next catch, except that you will get healthy, this is good for Mio. -When the Kusabi's attack reaches you, it is Game Over. -No need to afraid of Sae when she is inside the red fog. Walk into it and it will disappear. Except when Sae decided to approach and strangle you, that is when she becomes vulnerable. Keep tracking for the red fog and walk into it for a few times until you have your chance to aim for a Core shot. -Once again, the camera fails me. It often aim for the Kusabi behind me when obviously Sae is inside that red fog in front of me. It just do not want to change target no matter how many times I press to open viewfinder. Except that I have to walk further to approach Sae, but that already prove that the camera is not always to our advantage. -Whenever you perform Zero lvl.3 to Sae, she will stop chasing you and get back to standard procedure. -Every time you score a Core shot to Sae, she will stop for a few seconds giving you enough time to escape from her strangle by walk backward while still aiming. -When you are nearby to the Kusabi, he is going to after you. Trick: -Recharge 1 SP from Sae. If you are going to use Blast, there is no need to recharge. Let Sae strangle you three times in a row. You need to EVADE all of them of course or get hit one time only. Easier way is to avoid her attack three times. -The next time Sae will show up, she will be standing still, giving you a golden chance to perform 3-Hit Combo FF-Zero3,Zero,Core. Just be careful when the Kusabi is around, which is the reason why you need to attract Sae to an open area. -When you repeat the process, you are taking advantage of cutting a big portion of the time consuming. -For this trick to run perfectly, do not perform Zero3-Core shot when Sae is chasing after you because she will repeat from the beginning and canceling her standing still pose (Fatal Frame pose)).
