NOTE: UNBREAKABLE ITEM BOXES
----------------------------
Near the elevator from B3F West there is a long chamber containing many item
boxes, arranged in two rows. The boxes in one row can only be opened if you
return later in the game, when you have reacquired the dragon, as a laser rank
of at least #3 is required to Break them all.
DOME GATE KEY
=============
Beyond the item box room on B4F, turn right at the first fork in the passage,
then go left at the second. This will take you to the resting place of the Dome
Gate Key. When you have it (and you have finished exploring), you should return
to the Underground Dome to open the exit door.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ENEMY: ABSORBORA [Absorbora x 4]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Absorboras will ambush you in the depths of B5F. There are no safe or dangerous
zones while fighting these enemies, so don't bother moving. Although they are
Anti Shot, if you just laser the Absorboras they will reflect the damage right
back at you, making that a bad course of action. Shooting them with your gun
actually paralyzes them, making them point straight up in the air. If you do
this to each of them and then use your lasers, the redirected beams will fire
straight upwards, missing you. Keep lasering and they will soon be destroyed.
Though it is a little time consuming, this method will allow you to defeat the
group without being hit, which will earn you the Excellent grade.

FIGHT THE ENERG
===============
Once you have the Dome Gate Key, the Energ sub-boss will be awaiting you in the
Underground Dome. You will fight it as soon as you return there from B3F West.

SUB-BOSS: ENERG
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The Energ itself is high on the ceiling where you cannot reach it. The one
dangerous zone moves as the Energ "aims", so make a point of staying out of it.
Below the Energ there are four Absorboras, and their previous weakness will
help you win this battle. Shoot each Absorbora with your gun to make it point
upwards, then laser the group. The redirected damage will shoot up, hitting the
Energ. Three laser volleys will be enough to destroy both it and the
Absorboras, making this an easy battle to get an Excellent for when you know
how.
>>> Equip your SNIPER <<<
LEAVE THE UNDERGROUND RUINS OF URU
==================================
To be on the safe side, you should probably go back to B3F East's save point
and save your game before continuing. Remember to equip your Sniper at this
stage, too. You can now leave the Underground Dome through the door with the
large blue symbol. After a couple of cut-scenes, you will then face the Basilus
boss.
===============================================================================
BOSS: BASILUS
===============================================================================
In the Basilus' first phase, there is only one safe zone: in front of it. The
Basilus' weak points are the four "fins" on its tail section, but each of these
is currently covered by an Absorbora. Keep yourself in the safe zone in front
of the Basilus, and take out each of the four Absorboras with your gun. Doing
this from the front will ensure that their discharged beams miss you. If the
Basilus rushes ahead of you when the Absorboras are all gone, Sniper the
revealed weak points at its rear with any charged gauges you have before moving
to the front again. After a while, if you did not shoot all the Absorboras off,
the Basilus would hurl them at you, causing a lot of damage.
With the Absorboras gone, the Basilus will stop moving forwards, entering its
second attack phase. In this phase its front is a danger zone, while all other
areas are safe. However, the boss will keep turning to try and get you into the
danger zone, so you will have to move when necessary. You should watch the
Basilus rather than your radar, and just move before it is ever fully lined up
with you. Charge your gauges, and Sniper the exposed weak points on the
Basilus' side and rear whenever you have the chance.
In time the Basilus will summon more Absorboras, and revert to its first attack
phase, but you will probably be able to defeat it before then. Using these
tactics, you should also be able to defeat the Basilus without even being
damaged, thus getting an Excellent grade.
