I'm not sure if this is really a spoiler but...

In Fault Line in Arcterra there are these two red sensor things that you activate with the Imperialist but when I shoot them (from far away so that they're open) nothing happens! I'm confused...
Does ANYBODY know?


I just ran through that part earlier today.
There is a third one on the wall above the door you first enter the area from: All it does is deactivate the force field and let you continue on. It's much faster than running back and hitting the teleporter, which I happened to scan through the field and activate my first time through.


I believe that's the room you're talking about.

Yeah, that's what I did too. But I had already shot the one you mention and if I remember correctly, all it did was
activate the elavator. All I know is that it didn't turn off the force field. But I still don't understand why the other two sensors on the wall don't react when I shoot them with the imperialist.
i can't get past the level with thoese stupid Morph ball smashers in the fire planet.
lol no way
Piston Cave, yeah, you just... gotta be really fast. The first side-view part, when you get to the end, just rush it and it'll work out usually. That's the only part that gave me any serious trouble.
Trick: use the screen a lot and quickly. If done properly, you'll boost like every time you drag the stylus across the screen.
K i just got magmul and kicked pole V3's ass. I went to celetial archives and a shock coil door is in my way.. I went to the sylux style planet and theres a Imperialist door in my way....then i went to the Ice planet and there are TWO imperialist doors in my way. So them i went back to alinos and ended up in the Almbic cannon room . It requires 8 octoliths.....what do i do?

I know i have three options .

a) get Shock Coil
b) get Imperialist
c) sit there and cry and give up

now the question is....how do i get A and B ?

Edit: ok according to elyscape on IRC the shock coil in in the second valut some where.....that means i skipped it...XD

If i do find shock coil it would still be nice to find out how the the the imperialist.
PAGE BREAKER
Ready and willing.
The shock coil door isn't actually in your way. There's a way though the teleport maze to get that shock coil.
...And just so you know, the Imperialist is normally the LAST of the six weapons I find in this game.
Found on Arcterra: There is a third door you must've missed that's orange, it eventually leads you to it.


Just one question though...
How did you manage to grab the Magmaul before the Shock Coil anyway? I've always gotten it afterwards.
uh i killed everything in the Achives and when to the fire planet then grabed magmul like normal. then fought poll V3 when back to the out post grabed shock coil then killed eye ball V3 .


of couse this was all by accedent. cause i though the shock coil was on the fire planet but i eventually made my way to the magama monster.

and now i'm on my way to getting the last beam.

Sequnce break i guess.

come to think of it......if you can grab the Sniper with magumul then i guess you can go and get the shock coil last.
i cant remember, but i was facing Spire, and i double bomb jumped off the ground in a small, round hole in the ceiling, and when i came down, i got a octoloth. i dont even know if it was that, but it was something that said i aqquired a artifact or the octo'. i dont know if THAT is a glitch or sequence breaking trick, but i couldnt reproduce it. so there some random glitch for ya

edit: i died against spire while i had the octo and/or artifact, but still.., is that supposed to happen?
Anywhere, everywhere
Are you talking about when you first fight him, in that tiny room when he shoots you from above? If so, then yes, you can DBJ up there and beat him easily up there. You do get an artifact but it's not a sequence break or anything, just a speed trick.

EDIT: I need some help now. I'm facing Slench 4 in a low percent game and I can't seem to beat him. His ramming attack always hits me and I die. Even if I can avoid it, I just get frozen and die more. Can someone help me with avoiding these attacks?
Morph ball avoids ramming well. Always keep moving in one direction in biped to avoid being frozen. I haven't done a low-% so I can't give specific advice there, sorry.

Prime Hunter:
Beam collection seems somewhat unrestricted. I believe the Volt Driver is all that is needed to get the Shock Coil, so just get those last. You don't need either to get the rest of the beams.

You need Magmaul to get Imperialist, and I think you need Judicator to get Magmaul. Battlehammer, I believe, is required to get any of the others. So it looks like:

Battlehammer->Judicator->Magmaul->Imperialist
and
Battlehammer->Volt Driver->Shock Coil

depending on where you go. So if CA2 is the fourth place you go (CA1, Al1, VDO1, CA2), you get the second group, and if you save it for last, you get the first.

Anyone tell me if I'm completely wrong?
okay, i need help. i cant get the beam that represents "red". where do you find this beam? and to tell you, i have:

battlehammer
volt driver
shock coil
judicator

those are the beams i have, and i know that i am missing 2 more, but it seems that the beam representing the color red is used in most of the planets. so, what place do you find it? and what beam is required to get it?

and the reason im asking this is that i got the game 3 days ago, so i havent had this for how long...
Anywhere, everywhere
You are looking for the Imperialist but you need the Magmaul to get it. To get the Magmaul, go to Alinos. In High Ground, the first really big room, find a purple force field and destroy it. At the top is a bridge, scan the thing and the enter the purple door. From here it's pretty straightforward, just beat any gaurdians and get through the mazes. In council chamber, you will fight a mini boss, Fire Spawn. Stay behind the pillar and shoot his mouth with the Judicator when it is open. When he dies, the Magmaul will appear. You can finish getting the Alinos Octolith (which includes the dreaded piston maze) or you can head back to Arcterra to get the Imperialist. It's easier to do the second one. Wink

In Sic Transit (where you fought Noxus and Trace for the first time) there will be what looks like a red door in the corner. It is actually orange and can be opened with the Magmaul. This door is sooooo close to a red door that it has fooled many people, including myself. Anyways, in the next room, kill all of the Quadtroids to unlock the force field, then head in the next part of the room. When you enter, an Arctic Spawn will appear. It is very similar to the Lava Spawn you had to fight earlier to get the Magmaul, except this one is only vulnurable to the Magmaul. Once the Arctic Spawn is destroyed, the Imperialist will be yours!
okay, i got the magmul, but when i went to Sic transit, there was a force field bloking the mag. door. it said there was something nearby to activate it, but i practically searched the whole room, and didnt find anything. where is the switch?
Anywhere, everywhere
Hmm that wasn't there when I went there. Have you gotten the first octolith in Arcterra?
i  cant remeber..where do you get it again?..
Anywhere, everywhere
Well the three artifacts to get it are in Sic Transit (you must get it to get the Judicator so you got it), through a Judicator door in Ice Hive, and in that huge Morph Ball maze.

Also, just a question, how many Octoliths do you have? That force field is there when I have 3 but isn't when I have 4.
my file screen says i have "25%" of the octs. so, i will just go to the ice hive and through the judi door. i think i remember getting the artifact in the big maze, but cant remember if i got any others

edit: i didnt find another door except the one that connects to the ice hive...but i will just try looking harder

edit 2: never mind, i found it. just got to get through the door now...
Anywhere, everywhere
25% means 2 octoliths. The ones that you have are the first Celestial Archives and the first Alinos. I would advise going back and picking up the one in VDO and the one in Arcterra before you continue. VDO is really simple, just beat the ithraks for one artifact, get through a maze thing for another, and beat Sylux for the final one.

Wow, you almost have all of the beams with only 2 octoliths. My first time through, I had 6 when I got the Imperialist.
i found the last artifact in arcterra, so that means i have the oct there..and for VDO, i went thorough the maze, i dont know about the ithrak things, and i know i havent beaten slyux for the last. and i only have one more for alinos. so i will just play it though tonight and hopefully find all the artifacts.

but i will take your advice and get the octs before i get the beam, but why? is there a room before the final beam that requires octs.?
Anywhere, everywhere
The ithraks are in the third room, Weapons Complex. You have to beat a bunch of Pshyco Bits then the force field will disappear. Drop down to the bottom and defeat the ithraks (they are the weird little Sheegoth things) to get one artifact. You said you got the second one but just incase you have to go through the middle tube in the morph ball maze to unlock a force field, then take the lower left tube. Defeat yet another ithrak to get the shield key then go on the jump  pad to get the artifact. You will know it's the right one when a Gaurdian will ambush you. As for the Sylux one, head back to weapons complex. There will be a green force field. Through it is a very tough enemy called a Crash Pillar. Defeat it then ride the elevator up to fight Sylux. Be warned though, this will be the hardest Hunter battle in the game.

Quote from Dr. Trence:

Like I said before, I think that shield in front of the Magmaul door is there until you get 4 octoliths.
this is werid. i got all the artifacts on VDO, i think on alinos (more on that later), and arcterra, but the force field is STILL blocking the magmaul door.

i do know that when i collect the artifacts, it says "Deck portal activated", but when i got the artifact on alinos, it didnt appear, and i got the artifact (room where you need to activate the little things that give you the BIG jump boost). and the artifacts i remember getting are:

1.one after you kill spire
2.the one i mentioned
3.uhh, which one again?

i dont know if i remember getting the other one, but can someone tell me where the third artifact is? im REALLY confused...
Bangaa Bishop
Check your map screen. For every octolith you have all the artifacts for, you will  see three dots on the points of a triangle ( there are four triangles on the left and right sides of the map screen- these show your colelcted artifacts/octoliths). I'm pretty sure it's (left side) celestial archives, alinos, VDO, Arcterra and the same for the 2nd octoliths on the right side. So if your triangle for Alinos only has two dots on it, you're missing an artifact.
but how do i know what stands for alinos? all i see on the map is a octo, triangle with 3 dots on it, another octo, and one red dot on a triangle.

but do you know what artifact im missing? im pretty sure i havent collected all the artifacts on alinos. when i collected the one with the big maze, the "portal activated" thing didnt appear. so, which one am i missing?
