Introduction

We have destroyed their factory, but Genesis troops have built yet another in a new location. You must raid the site and crush the enemy. However, they have learned from the last attack and have boosted their defenses. Proceed with caution.

Enemies

• Arachno (boss battle)
• Cutter Machine
• G Avenger
• Red Saucer III
• Sweeper

Chests

• MAG Up (south)
• Elixir (west)
• Gris-Gris Bag (west)
• Mythril Gloves (north)
• Hi-Potion (north)
• X-Potion (north)

Strategy

The unusual thing about the geography of this mission is that the boss is closest to the starting point than any of the chests. If you want to skip all the chests, then head south at the first intersection to find the boss. Otherwise, continue west and head south at the second intersection for the MAG Up chest. Head back to the intersection and continue west. In this corridor, the Elixir is south and the Gris-Gris Bag is north. Return to the intersection and head north. Follow the linear path all the way north for the final three chests (all in the last room). When you’re done collecting all the items, backtrack all the way to the first intersection and head south for the boss battle.

Immediately get behind Arachno and slash away for critical hits. Be aware of the EM Field and, since there's barely enough room to outrun it, guard by pressing the triangle button. Return to work using critical attacks or your strongest magic.
