FIGHT THE ARANGATAS AND HEAD TO THE INFESTED GRIG ORIG
======================================================
Grig Orig can be seen flying in the northern sky. On your way to it you will
have to fight through preset sequences of Lazaras and Arangatas, and
Protodrones and Arangatas.

ARANGATA / PROTODRONE BATTLE SEQUENCES
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
To get an Excellent against an Arangata, you must get an Excellent for the
whole sequence of battles that it is in. This is easy with the Lazara battle
sequences (see below), but with the Protodrone ones there can be complications.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
1: PROTODRONES [Drone x 1, Protodrone x 1]
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
These are exactly the same as the "Drones" from Mel-Kava. Oddly, though the
Drone battles at Mel-Kava were entitled "Drones" and the ones here are called
"Protodrones", they both contain the same enemies: one Drone and one
Protodrone.
The problem with this sequence is that, (as with the battles at Mel-Kava,) you
will often get hit by an unavoidable Energy Stream attack as soon as you face
the second pair of Drones. This single hit will make you unable to get an
Excellent for the sequence. To avoid this situation, use the following tactics.
As soon as the battle starts, immediately move to the front or back and take
out the front Drone with your Pulverizer. This will give you two safe zones at
the sides. At this point, employ the "Carry Two Gauges Over" tactic (see
Section 3.03) before shooting the remaining Protodrone.

2: PROTODRONES [Drone x 1, Protodrone x 1]
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
If you destroyed the first drones in the way described above, you will start
this second battle at the enemies' side, and with two full gauges. You can thus
take the rear Protodrone instantly; this will create some safe zones for you to
move into. You can then safely take out the remaining Drone.
Strangely, you will not get hit by any unavoidable attacks if you simply start
the battle at the side in this way. If you play so that you start this second
battle at the front or rear, you will always get hit by the Energy Stream
before you can move.

SUB-BOSS: ARANGATA
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
With their roots destroyed, the previously invulnerable Arangatas cannot even
fight back. Just move around to the Arangata's front and use your Pulverizer to
repeatedly shoot the weak point inside its "mouth".
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
ARANGATA / LAZARA BATTLE SEQUENCES
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
These sequences are extremely simple to get an Excellent for. Just destroy the
Lazaras in the same way as all the others in the game, and use the above
tactics to defeat the Arangata.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
1: LAZARA [Lazara x 4, Lazara Hunter x 1]

2: LAZARA [Lazara x 4, Lazara Hunter x 1]
