But this game is so damn cool, has a nice graphic, and relatively fasts and since I can't find any detail FAQ for it on GameFAQs so I decided to make the FAQ for it. This FAQ can be used for both (JP and US) Silent Bomber version and should be detailed enough for you. Yea, I'm still alive! It's been three years you know since the last update. What a surprise for me since I still received some emails asking about this game even though I DIDN'T PLAY THIS GAME ANYMORE. Some of them even contained some informations that I left out. In this update, you can read the tips for defeating all of the boss by Zero X. Also Jonathan Gooden has contributed boss strategy for mission #07. This update is dedicated to Zero X and Jonathan Gooden for encouraging me to update my FAQ. Thx alot men for your comment and contribution! This will be the last update of this FAQ unless there is such a keen need for me to do so (which probably won't happen). For easy searching, just highlight the keyword number on Table of Contents and press Ctrl+F. Btw, please excuse for my poor English. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- How to Get the Update ............................................ 0402 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The newest revision of this FAQ can always be found at: = GameFAQs http://www.gamefaqs.com This FAQ can also be found at: = Game Advice http://www.gameadvice.com = Playstation cheat.net http://www.psxcodez.com = Cheat Code Central http://www.cheatcc.com = GameNotOver.com http://www.gamenotover.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- How to Contact Me ................................................ 0403 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Any questions, requests to post this FAQ, critizisms, contributions, suggestions, etc (no spam please) are welcome as long as you state "Silent Bomber" as a subject of your letter and tell me where you read this FAQ. Tell me your website name and address if you request to post this FAQ. Before sending me any questions, make sure that you've searched my FAQ thoroughly and you still can't find the answer. If your questions are already covered in this FAQ then I will tend to ignore it. Also please understand that you won't get my reply very soon since I check my email not every week (at least once once a month). NOTE: I am not hiding secrets or any other information, i.e. everything I know about Silent Bomber is in this guide. _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ V. Game Reviews ............................................... 0500 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Have you ever played Bomberman ? Have you ever played Brave Fencer Musashi ? Now, I challenge to play Silent Bomber. Silent Bomber is a mix between Brave Fencer Musashi and Bomberman. In Bomberman, the hero can bomb the enemy, so does Silent Bomber. In Brave Fencer Musashi, the hero can jump, avoid the enemy, grab the item, fight the enemy in different area so does Silent Bomber. Speaking about the graphics, I do admit that the graphics is awesome. But I really hate the hero hairstyle. It looks ugly for me. As about storyline, not bad (thx to CJ Speirs for telling me the story). The sounds is really good. You can hear your steps sound, explosion sound. The music is really well composed. But sadly that this game only contains several tracks. I wish if there's more music. The greatest job of this game is its innovation. Why? 'Cos we can bomb the enemy as we like. There are many types of enemy from tiny tank to dinosaur. Also you can adjust your current status to increase (decrease) your lock-on range, shield, bomb. There's also VR Arena in which allow you to battle one by one in the arena. You can select 12 characters in this mode. You can also choose to fight either with computer or with 2P. The level is designed very well. We will always see the changes in each level. There are also many new enemies in each level. Also the design for the boss is very good. We should use our brains to defeat the boss. Each boss has different strategy to use. Playing this game will guarantee you won't be bored for hours. I think that this game has a lot of potential in the future but I wish if it is longer. I heard that the US and UK version has come out this year. Here are my rating about this game: - Graphics : 8.5 - Storyline : 8.5 - Sounds : 8.5 - Music : 8.5 - Innovation : 8.5 - Gameplay : 8.5 - Overall : 8.5 - Difficulty : Hard (Yikes ..) - Buy/Rent : Buy _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ VI.

Destroy all target sign in this area to enter the next door. ****** BOSS *********************************************************** This is the easiest boss in the game. Run on its back. Jump on its back. Place as many bombs as you can on the target sign. Keep the distance from the bomb and detonate it. When you see that it stops then you know that it is gonna swing its hands, quickly jump down. When its life is about 50%, the target is changed. Now, just stack as many bombs as you can on the target sign and detonate it. Repeat the same steps. If you run out of life, you can bomb the north east object with two green spheres for Life+50%. Do these steps until it's destroyed ... *** NOTE *** I have a hint for you, the boss on mission 7 is incredibly vulnerable to Napalm Bombs when you set them on either of the targets (Back or Neck). (Thx to Jonathan Gooden) *********************************************************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 08 ....................................................... 0809 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission Objective: Destroy all enemies.

You'll face some flying enemies. It's easy. Now the fight is getting tougher. You'll face some flying enemies with boat robot. Focus your attack on that boat. After the fight is over, you'll land on the dock. Remember to destroy all the crates. Some of the crates will give you Life+50%. In this area you'll face some vehicles which carry robots. Destroy the vehicle 1st then destroy the robots. I just place the bombs on top of the vehicle. Strangely enough, all the robots get destroyed. Don't forget to bomb the crate in the north east (near the right side door in which the vehicle come) for Data Chip 5. After that, ride another platform across the river. ****** BOSS *********************************************************** I suggest you to configure your E-Unit status by increasing the shield and decresing the range. You'll face 3 robots. They will make 3 bubble charges towards you. Just simply run to avoid the bubble charge while putting the bombs on the ground. Detonate the bomb when the bubble charge near it. After that, they launch the missiles towards you. Just run diagonally to avoid it. Then, they will blast you with some magenta lasers. Jump and run to avoid it. After they blast you, they will approach you. Now configure your E-Unit status by increasing the bomb and range. Use this chance to make some damages on them. Don't go straight forward them. Instead position yourself in the right side or left side the robot. From this position, stack the bombs and bang it. Repeat these steps until the robots get destroyed. *********************************************************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 09 ....................................................... 0810 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission Objective: Find Annri.

Also remember to pick up the Data Chip 6 in the north control panel (in the area before the exit door). If you haven't picked it up. Just go left and bomb the north control panel. ****** BOSS *********************************************************** It's best if you configure your E-Unit status by increasing the bomb and shield. Take a look on the dinos neck. There's some circle red, isn't it? It's your target. Place as many bombs as you can on the neck, detonate it. The dino will throw its kid to chase you. Keep running while placing the bombs on the ground. Detonate it to kill its kid. The dino will also have shockwave attack. Just jump several times to avoid several shockwaves. Do these steps until its dead ... *** NOTE *** I noticed that it has an unbelieveable weakness to gravity bombs. If you stack as many bombs as possible to increase the gravity power, its health will simply drain at an insane speed. So I advise to save as many gravity bombs as you can for this boss. (Thx to Timothy Monzon) *********************************************************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 11 ....................................................... 0812 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission Objective: Ride the elevator to the bridge. You'll ride elevator to the top. In this area, you'll face 3 flying robots (the same as mission 08 robots). It's best if you configure your E-Unit status by increasing the shield.

Don't forget to pick Data Chip 7 in the box in the north east of the 3 intersections (door labelled 04). After you destroy all of the target signs, proceed your way to the door in which you 1st come in. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 14 ....................................................... 0815 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- *********************************************************************** The whole mission 14 strategy below was contributed by CJ Speirs . *********************************************************************** Mission Objective: Destroy Brain! Ah...I hate this mission...allright. Before you take the lift, grab ALL the goodies (including Data Chip 8 in north west). They'll help a lot. After Benoit's taunting, you'll be on a chess board. (Restart point) This is quite easy after a few shots, as the glass...things are destroyed with a single bomb. Because of this, I recommend taking all E-Chips from bombs and putting them on Range. If your Shield isn't Lv6, get it there NOW. Attack patterns: Pawn - moves straight ahead, fires a LOT of green bullets. Knight - moves in L-shape, and creates a force-fieldy thing to hurt you. Rook - fast, and fires purple lasers. As soon as you hear it spawn, JUMP. Bishop - ditto, but moves in diagonals. Queen - has a shield which she uses till she attacks with a BIG GUN. Get a lock-on and keep firing till shield drops. After a while, you'll get a Life 50%, and face Benoit. Oh, and if you die, its back to chess. This is not fun. He has several main attacks. 1 - The big green man. He'll swipe at you, grab you, and squeeze you. 6 bombs makes it fade away, but this is the real killer move. He has 3 swipes - from left-right, down-up, and right-left. Left-right - burst jump to the left. Down-up - burst jump right. Right-left - burst jump down. 2 - Walking about. He spawns 2 little copies of himself. If you blow these up, they fire little lasers. He gets lock-ons, and blows you up. Lock-on to him first. 3 - Warp bomb. He and 2 copies teleport next to you, lay a stack of 8 (!) bombs each, and blow them up. To avoid, just burst jump. Your only real chance to hit him is Stage 2, where he walks about. Good luck, you'll need it. _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ IX. Boss Strategy .............................................. 0900 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ *********************************************************************** The whole Boss Strategy section was contributed by Zero X . *********************************************************************** Ah, Silent Bomber. This was one of my favorite unknown hits on the PSone made by Bandai. I REALLY hope they make a sequel to this game as I've noticed that all the characters from this game were used as NPCs (non-playable characters) in the dot Hack series of games. I hope this boss guide helps out all those who are having trouble with this awesome game. 1. Anti-aircraft Defense 1 - Use Paralysis liquids to stun him and target his body with bombs. 2. Giant Cannon - Destroy all of the drones that come out of the walls. Then hit the cannon with a Paralysis liquid and hit the cannon with a couple of bombs. 3. Hardshells - Concentrate only on the one with fires the large cannon. Simply set of a Paralysis liquid to freeze all of them and target all of your bombs on him. 4. (Non-boss, but difficult) Protecting John and Jim - Divide your concentration on the Hardshells in front and the aircrafts in the rear. Take care of the Hardshells with some Napalms and 5-7 normal bombs on the aircrafts. 5. Anti-aircraft Defense 2 - Same as before but you'll have to use Paralysis liquids more often since it fires very rapidly. 6. Giant Hardshell - Jump onto his back and detonate a Paralysis liquid to freeze him and detonate 6-7 normal bombs in the first target. When the first target is destroyed jump on his back again and do the same to his torso target. Don't stay on his back too long or he'll hit you with his laserblade. 7. Blue Mist x 3 - Dodge their weapons by jumping and target them when they fly beside your platform to use their machine guns. When they fire their homing spheres at you use a Gravity liquid to shield yourself from them bumping into you. Jump to dodge their air charge. 8. Bio-Creature Queen - Target the red dots on either side of her head with 6-7 bombs and use a Napalm/Gravity liquid on her children that chase you. Jump to avoid her floor-shaking rifts. 9. Blue Mist General - When he drops his shield and sends his saws toward you, set 7 bombs on his saws. When he retracts them back to his shoulders, set them off for major damage. Be careful as his life decreases, he attacks with other weapons as well as use his saws. Dodge the weaponry and continue the target and detonate pattern. 10. (Non-Boss, but Very Difficult) Protect Annri from Bio-Creatures - Keep the bio-creatures away from Annri and nail them all at once (groups of 3) with combination of surrounding them with bombs and setting off some Napalm/Gravity liquids. Or lure them to one of the 4 destructible computer stations to assault them with bombs and the flames of the explosion. 11. Benoit's Game of Chess Using the Brain Room - Prep for this by setting your E-Unit as follows: Bomb 5, Range 11, Shield 60. The first 2 kinds of pieces aren't too much of a problem. The next 2 pieces Benoit uses on you next are pretty annoying as they try to bumb into you and rarely stop for you to get a target lock on. The short one stops only in corners and the tall one stops anywhere else. After beating this set of pieces you'll get 2 Life+10%'s. Next, things will get harder as you'll have to fight a new piece which is shielded from your target lock until it unleashes it's attack which will take off 20- 30% of Jutah's health, and it's assisted by those 2 pieces you fought first. I suggest you destroy or dodge the assisting pieces but keep an eye on the shielded piece until it drops it shield. Then destroy it before it can hit you with it's attack. Finally, you'll face the shielded pieces 1 on 1 (about 12) which is simple if you blow it up before it can hit you. Beat all of them and you'll be rewarded with a Life+50%. Now get ready to face... 12. Benoit w/ Brain Room Power - Use the same E-Unit setup as for the chess game. Keep in mind that the Benoit that is glowing green is the true Benoit. Air Charge or target Benoit when tries or gets a target lock on you. When Benoit's giant hologram tries to grab you, Air Charge (Double tap Jump button) downwards toward the screen (if he tries to grab you from under you) or Air Charge diagonally down-left or down- right if he tries to grab you in the corresponding direction. If you do manage to be grabbed by him, target 5 bombs quick at the hologra to break the hold. After the 3 Benoits set 8 bombs down and detonate them, locate the true Benoit and target 4-5 bombs to deal some decent damage. Benoit will normally follow up with a hologram grab, a spread energy beam from him and his doubles, or both. Defeat Benoit and enjoy the ending. Save your game after the ending credits to play the game in Advanced Mode when you load the file. Yes, for those who have noticed this is my same exact guide from my older site, but heck, there's someone out there who will appreciate this. _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ X.

The last three characters in VR Arena section was contributed by ShadowwolfAoD@xxx.xxx. *********************************************************************** This is a neat feature added to an already brilliant game. It really adds to the lifespan. You can't actually access VR Arena unless you have a save from the main game. You can play in 2 modes: 1P vs Com, or 1P vs 2P. General Controls: d-pad - Move your character. L1/R1 - Shields. These protect your character from enemy attack, and also prevent you from firing, with a few exceptions. Your shield is drained when you hold the button, but refills quickly. If you're actually hit while shielding, your shield bar doesn't drain. If you ram your opponent with your shield, you deal a slight amount of damage. The buttons do different things for each character. For the location of the Data Chips, see elsewhere in this guide. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Jutah ............................................................ 1001 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Requirement: none.

Bad vs - Hmm...occasionally, the Fire Ox. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Fire Ox .......................................................... 1003 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Requirement: Data Chip 2.

This mode allows you to select which mission to play, and you can go back through and grab essential Data Chips from the game stages. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Better Ranks ..................................................... 1102 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- For better ranks, you have to meet all the requirements below: - Destroy alot of boxes and enemies. - Keep your health as much as possible. - Finish the game as fast as you can. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Data Chip Location ............................................... 1103 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Data Chip 1 - Mission 02: in the 1st area, the brown box (near the left side bubble laser turret). Data Chip 2 - Mission 03: in the 1st area, the crate (right side of the door) Data Chip 3 - Mission 04: in the 3rd area, east laser bubble turret. Data Chip 4 - Mission 06: in the 2nd area (see the walkthrough for detail). Data Chip 5 - Mission 08: in the north east crate, near the right side door (in which the right side vehicle come). Data Chip 6 - Mission 10: in the north control pannel, area before exit door. Data Chip 7 - Mission 13: in the box in the north east of intersection (door labelled 04). Data Chip 8 - Mission 14: north west area before the elevator in the north. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Easy S Rank ...................................................... 1104 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- On some levels, there are turrets that fire green bullets that can be destroyed for points. Plant a gravity bomb and position yourself so the bomb is between yourself and the turret. Detonate, and the bullets will be destroyed. Your combo will start, and probably get to x10. When the gravity is almost done, plant another gravity bomb, and repeat. This gets you about 1000 points per gravity bomb. Gets lots of points easy.

A: Well, actually I have some reasons: 1. I don't want to received many emails. I read one of the FAQ in GameFAQs. The author said that he received 3800+ emails since his game is really fresh. How can I read and reply it if I get that much emails? 2. Since the game is "classic" so most of the secrets should have been covered. It saves my time to update my FAQ over and over again just to update the secrets. 3. Usually, I choose to write the FAQ if: a. The other FAQ isn't detailed. b. There isn't any FAQs for it. Q: I see that your grammar isn't good. A: Honestly speaking, I realized that my grammar is bad. That's because English is not my mother language. But as long as you can understand what I try to say that's OK, right? Q: Hey you say that I have to move left but I can only move up. What's wrong? A: Sorry, sometimes I mistyped the direction. Q: You ask about the US version. I've found it ... A: Yess, I know. I received several emails told me about this so please don't bother telling me that you have an US version. Q: Where can I buy the US version of Silent Bomber? A: According to Justin A, he said that he got it at www.gexpress.com. Q: I've been stuck on level 14. Can you send me some sort of strategy to pass this level? A: I think CJ Speirs has written quite the detail walkthrough for it or you can read an alternate strategy in Boss Strategy section. If you still have a problem then I suggest you to use GameShark ... _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ XIII.

Story ...................................................... 1400 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ *********************************************************************** The whole Story section was contributed by CJ Speirs . This section contains many spoilers. Do not proceed if you don't want the game to be spoiled. *********************************************************************** *** Prologue *** It has been 1000 years since the launch of the Space Colony Project. During that time, planet after planet has felt the desire for self- determination. Currently, about half of the more than 200 colonised planets have acquired right of self government. After a number of wars, the supremacy of the Earth was upheld by ORUGANERA, a corporation/religous group which possessed overwhelming military and economic power. Because of the enormous influence of the ORUGANERA group, most self-governed colonial planets were forced to conclude treaties with them. And now...the planet Hornet. It doesn't want to join, so the ORUGANERA are going to blow it up with the Dante, and it's Felmion. This has a range of 3 million km. Hornet has organized a defense fleet just outside this boundary. Operation Toroy is what your operations called. Convicts who want freedom have volunteered to go in on a damaged ORUGANERA ship, and disable the Dante. *** Level 01 *** Story beforehand - They saw through your ID. The AA guns are attacking the assault teams. The assault capsules are launched. Jutah lands, after a fashion. *** Level 02 *** No story beforehand. Cut scene - Benoit contacts Jutah. Talks about the time when he was training. *** Level 03 *** Annri wants to hack the computer. To do this, she needs a diversion. You're it. *** Level 04 *** Annri sets the Hardshells routine to maintenance. She thinks this will let you get a suprise attack. Hah. Just before Mercury shows up, Tim cries "They've spotted us..." *** Level 05 *** You don't feel like going on a rescue mission, until Annri orders you to. As the landers busted, you have to find another way to your original entry point. *** Level 06 *** You're sneaking onto the cargo train. Everythings going well until Annri is cut off and the train stops. Bugger. Time to run... Benoit taunts you throughout. *** Level 07 *** Annri has been captured! Micino knows where she is, but won't help unless you help her first. She wants you to destroy the air plants to cause some commotion so she can escape. The boss is Mercury, believe. FMV - The bridge crew dispatch the Blue Mist... *** Level 08 *** Heading along in my automob...raft. Micino didn't know any other way to prison complex, so you get the scenic route. *** Level 09 *** At the end, you tell Annri all about the training mission...how you're a mere shell of a man now...yada yada. It's clear he likes Annri, no? *** Level 10 *** Annri sends you into the deep depths of the Bio Lab. All the scientists are DEAD! Shades of Resident Evil, here. At the end, Benoit contacts you again. You head for the bridge. *** Level 11 *** The Blue Leader says you're the most powerful warrior hes ever met...this is the final battle, he claims. The bridge crew are dead too! Benoit is there and he explains that he came along to take over Brain, the computer running Dante....he offers you to join him or die...you say "No." He ejects you into space. Benoit and jutah have one of those complex hate/hate relationships. The lander saves you! Yay! *** Level 12 *** Big cutscene. You have to get to the core to stop Benoit. But all the doors are sealed, and there are Bio monsters everywhere. Jutah spots the docked cruiser and says "Hmmm..." Time for Annri's hacking skills to save the day! At the end, the cruisers use a weapon that looks a LOT like the Level 2 boss. *** Level 13 *** FMV. Hornets defense fleet opens fire. The Dante uses it's Felmion Cannon. Bugger. It's a race against time, now... At the end, Benoit tells Jutah that Brain is going to destroy Hornet in a rational and logical manner. By ramming it. *** Level 14 *** Annri tells you to come back safe. Awwwwwwww. Benoit taunts you throughout. And finally, Benoit reveals he was Jutah's commander in the prologue. FMV ending. _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ XV.
