============================================================================= ============================================================================= SHIN SEIKI EVANGELION SECOND IMPRESSION --------------------------------------- Neon Genesis Evangelion SECOND IMPRESSION FAQ/WALKTHROUGH By: LuisMan http://come.to/rpgeva/ ------- riojikaji@eresmas.com ============================================================================= ============================================================================= ------------------------------INTRODUCTION----------------------------------- The Sega Saturn had some games about the great Evangelion. First Impression was the first, and a bit later came this Second Impression. The intention of these EVA games was to make an alternative episode: the named Episode X. First Impression was only good, the story was funny, and the video so cool, but the combat system wasn't great. This Second Impression has a good storyline, excellent FMV, and really good combats. By the way, the girl for this game and the new angel are so cool, great work by Sadamoto. At the first times, it's so difficult to dominate the EVA correctly at the combats, 'cause isn't explained well for an occidental user who don't know Japanese, and the storyline, with all the decisions are so difficult, so it's very possible that the first time that you beat the game, you'll obtain a bad endings. Here, I put all the correct choices, and the way to manage all combats against the angel. I'm no good with Japanese, so it's possible that you can see some fails, forgive me for that. The Spanish version of this FAQ will come soon, very soon... -------------------------------COMBAT MODE----------------------------------- The combats against the angel take another perspective. First of all, you have two weapons against the angels, one of short range like the progressive knife or the sword, and another weapon of long range, usually a fire weapon: hand gun, bazooka, etc... in some moments of the game, you're able to choose your weapon. Well, you need to battle by turns. You attack with the EVA 01, and you're supported by Rei's 00 and Asuka's 02, but the attack only in some cases. In each turn, you need to choose an option of attack, or movement. The angel will do his move, too. To choose your attack, there's a circle, with 4 quadrants. The quadrants determine the weapons. For example, if in the 0 degrees position it says "progressive knife", in the second quadrant you're able to use the progressive knife. But imagine that in the 270 degrees the "Pallet Gun" is marked. In that case, you're able to use your pallet gun if you push the correct button at the third quadrant. Here's an example of that: ____|____ / \ Q 4 / \ QUADRANT 1 / \ | | -| |- Progressive Knife (sorry for the horrible \ / circle, I can't do it Q 3 \ / QUADRANT 2 better...) \__________/ | Pallet Gun Then, now I'll explain the buttons configuration: You have two weapon buttons, B & C, for the two weapons that you have equipped. The button A is for movement, and the X Y Z are used for dodge enemy's attack. At the right corner of the screen is detailed the four options: ________ ________ ________ ________ | | | | | | | | |MOVEMENT| | DODGE | |ATTACK 1| |ATTACK 2| | | | | | | | | -------- -------- -------- -------- Button A X Y Z Button B Button C The button you choose is the action that the EVA will do. Then, if you're in the Pallet Gun quadrant, but you press the P. Knife button, you'll use your knife, but it's so possible that you will not do damage onto your enemy. CORRECT USE: The correct form to win the battle is, to use a fire arm or a short range weapon at the correct time. In each turn, near the circle, there's a green line, that guides you: use your weapon when you're at the green line only, and use the weapon according to your quadrant. Sometimes, there's a red mark, if you see it, try to push the correct button at the red mark: in that case, the EVA will do a lot of damage, with the help of Rei or Asuka. If you do that great damage, the enemy will not attack you at that turn. Enjoy the battle... ---------------------------WALKTHROUGH AND TIPS------------------------------ Press start at the main screen, and then, at the Nerv manual, select the option 1, and the first option which is in japanese (it means new game). Input your name (the upper right option is to change letters to occidental writing), and start the game, you'll see usual Evangelion opening. I'm going to put all the correct selections. The game starts remembering the defeated angels, thanks to Gendou Ikari. Thanks to that, you can imagine that the game takes place between chapter 10 and 11. Later, the typical morning at Katsuragi's house, with the loud voice of Asuka. At the school, Kensuke will ask you about the red mark in your face, and you need to select the SECOND CHOICE, that means what isn't the case. Just after that, when Asuka is coming at your back, select the FIRST CHOICE. At class, a new student will introduce herself to Shinji's class. Then you need to select what will be your looking: select the FIRST CHOICE, look at Megumi, the new student. Later, at the sports playground, select at what girl will you look: SECOND CHOICE is for Megumi. When Shinji will be at classroom, he need to select where he will go, the correct choice is the FIRST CHOICE, go to the library. At the library you'll meet Megumi, and shock with her. Help her to pick up her books with the SECOND CHOICE, and after that, select the FIRST CHOICE. An angel will appear, so Nerv will take place now. When Misato is planning the attack strategy, select the FIRST CHOICE Now, you're at combat against the angel. You are supported by Rei with her EVA 00. At battlefield, just before the combat, select the SECOND CHOICE, that is short range attack. Start the combat, and try to do some damage to the angel, but not a lot, you need to keep your position without doing great damage onto the angel. I you do that, at some moment Ayanami will be attacked seriously by the angel just after the decision of the weapon that you can use (the hand gun and the active sword works great). Now, when the angel is attacking Rei, Misato will order you to help her, but in that moment you'll see Megumi at the battlefield. Choose the SECOND CHOICE, what is to move Megumi away from the fire range. Now, defeat the angel with the best of you. Then, you'll win the first encounter against the angel. at night, trouble-minded Shinji needs to think about the situation. First, select the FIRST CHOICE to think about the angel, and Megumi...then select the THIRD CHOICE, to think about Megumi. At morning, select the FIRST CHOICE to decide going to Nerv. When you meet with Megumi at the street, select the FIRST CHOICE: Shinji will say that Megumi really like books. The next option will be the SECOND CHOICE, what means that Shinji read a lot of books, too. At class, Asuka will contact to you 'cause the teacher is asking her a school problem and she don't know the answer. She'll contact with you thanks to your portable school computers. A few moments later, at music classroom, Kensuke, Touji and you have a problem: you need to play some music for a festival, but you don't have a singer. In that moment, you need to select the FIRST CHOICE, which is to invite Megumi to sing with us. Kensuke and Touji will ask it to her, and you need to select now the SECOND CHOICE, that is to say that you will enjoy her singing. Megumi sings very well. Then, Aeba will appear, and help you with the guitar, 'cause Misato told him about your band. The festival will go cool, but in the best moment, the angel attack Tokio-3. Asuka and you need to go quickly. When Asuka ask you about Megumi and the angel, select the FIRST CHOICE. At the battlefield, choose the FIRST CHOICE: long range attack. Use your best against the angel, using the combined attack with Rei (stopping the cursor at the red mark). If you're doing it well, Asuka will shoot some missiles to the angel, and the angel stops its activity for a moment. In that moment, Megumi and Hikari will appear. Megumi has something to tell you: it looks that the angel and Megumi are connected by some kind of way. If you kill Megumi, the angel will die too (sorry if I said any error, but I can't understand japanese well). Then you need to select if you want to kill Megumi or not. This is your last decision, choose the FIRST CHOICE, and you'll tell Megumi that you will defeat the angel with the EVA 01. Now, return to battle at night. You will attack alone, and first of all you need to select your weapons: the Active Sword and the Pallet Gun are a good option. Destroy the angel, try to not fail any chance. At one moment, if the angel is winning, EVA 01 will enter in berserk mode and this will be your last chance, but if you're winning all the time, Asuka and Rei will join you anther time, and the last steps of the battle will be with them. If you stay cool, you'll defeat the angel rather quickly. Now, go on in battle!!! If you had done all correctly, you'll watch the cool good ending. There's a lot of endings, from an ending of a defeated Shinji to this good ending. And there are a few ways to obtain the good ending, I mentioned here one of them, but the others are very similar paths. Try to obtain all the endings, all of them are so cool, and some are so strange (there's an ending of Megumi trying to make suicide). Here's all the selections to obtain the good ending. All selections are wrote in the walkthrough: -01. SECOND CHOICE: Say that it isn't the case to Kensuke. -02. FIRST CHOICE: When Asuka is coming. -03. FIRST CHOICE: Look at Megumi in class. -04. SECOND CHOICE: Look at Megumi at swimming pool. -05. FIRST CHOICE: Go to the library. -06. SECOND CHOICE: Help Megumi with her books. -07. FIRST CHOICE: At library. -08.
