BREAK THE FINAL SEAL
====================
When you have finished exploring Uru for the time being, make a point of giving
yourself maximum HP with berserk techniques or items. Then, when you have
collected Protect Key 3, Access the pedestal with the glowing green top at the
black ruins. You will be granted entry to the underground ruins, but Azel and
Atolm will intervene.
===============================================================================
BOSS: ATOLM DRAGON [Atolm, Orbs]
===============================================================================
In this second confrontation, Atolm is surrounded by four "orb" devices. The
green ones replenish Atolm's HP, and the orange ones fire to its sides, turning
them into danger zones as well. The orbs are all weak from every angle, so you
will want to pick them off with your Sniper. Your first priority should be to
destroy one of the orange orbs; This will provide you with a less dangerous
zone at Atolm's side. Keep to this, and take out the remaining orange, then
green orbs as soon as possible. As with the previous battle, go to Atolm's
front to avoid the "Ne-Rai" Berserker Rage attack whenever Azel announces it.
With the orbs gone, Atolm can be defeated in the same way as before. Just keep
to its side while charging all your gauges, move behind it and Sniper its weak
point three times, then quickly move to the side again, and repeat. There is
one slight difference this time around, in that when Atolm has taken
significant damage, he will start using an unavoidable Lightning Storm attack
on you. However, if you just keep Snipering Atolm's weak point, the battle will
soon be over. Using these tactics should get you the Excellent easily, even if
you take large amounts of damage.

{4.11} UNDERGROUND RUINS OF URU
<<<=========================================================================>>>
The Underground Ruins of Uru is the game's first fully interior area. It is
five subterranean floors of dark, labyrinthine passages, populated by various
mutated creatures. To make matters worse, you have lost your dragon, and the
only way to get out is to go forwards.
The Floater
===========
You travel through the Underground Ruins of Uru on a Floater, a kind of
antigravity bike. It is piloted in basically the same way as your dragon, with
the following notable differences:
> It cannot fly up or down; it stays at a fixed height.
> It has a laser rank of #0 (and so cannot open some item boxes)
> It has 1,200 HP.
> It has no berserk techniques (and thus no BP).
> It has no experience levels (and thus no experience points).
The Floater does, however, have homing lasers exactly like the dragon's, and
Edge's gun and items are in no way affected by the transition.

The large door with a blue symbol, that you entered this area from, has locked
behind you. You cannot leave the underground ruins through it until later in
the game, when you return here with the dragon and the Dome Gate Key. The only
way out is to descend through the ruins.
>>> Equip your HIGH VULCAN <<<
ANCIENT RECORDING DEVICE
------------------------
There is a save point here, at the start of the labyrinth.

ENEMY: EGGS [Small Egg x ?, Large Egg x ?]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are two common strains of monsters in the underground ruins; Luciches and
Mutants. The large Luciches are Anti Laser, and the smaller Mutants are Anti
Shot. You will see them in various stages of development; eggs are the first.
Eggs appear in numerous quantities and arrangements. Pick out any (Anti Laser)
Large Eggs with your gun and then laser the (Anti Shot) Small Eggs. If you take
too long, the eggs will hatch into Mutant Hoppers and Luciches, which will in
turn grow into Mutant Fliers and Winged Luciches. You really should win the
