Stage Secrets & Boss Strategies

Miclus: 3

Fairy: 1

This is another short stage. A highlight of this stage is the cool-looking reflection of the cloudy sky on the water below, reminiscent of Raiden II, Stage 4. It's not very threatening, except for the large white Bomber that appears before the boss that releases exploding floating mines. This part can become quite hard, especially at full rank.

Miclus: At the very beginning of the stage, let go of the second small hovercraft and destroy the sixth one. A Miclus will appear from the sixth hovercraft you destroy.

Quick Shots: Destroy the medium-sized blue planes before they can shoot. (20,000 points each)

Fairy: About the middle of the stage, 8 medium-sized blue planes will appear, one after another. Quick Shot all of them and a Fairy will appear from the trees.

At this point you will initiate the 100,000 point medal mode. While doing this, DO NOT collect any of the gold 10,000 point medals you see! You must get 9 of the 10,000 point gold medals to appear on the screen at one time. When this happens, they will all explode, signaling to you that you are in 100,000 point medal mode. First, a heliplane appears. Destroy it and it releases 2 gold medals. Destroy the small blue plane that appears, and one more medal appears (3 total on screen). Another heliplane appears. Destroy it. 2 gold medals released (5 total). Yet another heliplane appears. Destroy it. 2 more gold medals released (7 total). Now go to the bottom of the screen immediately. Two small blue planes appear. Destroy the first one with your regular weaponry and the second one with a Bomb. 2 more medals released (9 total on screen). Now there are 9 gold medals on the screen, all of which will explode at once! You can now build up to the 100,000 point gold medals.

Immediately release another bomb right after releasing the first one. The two bombs are used to protect the 3 small friendly tanks from the huge enemy tank's* shots. The first bomb cancels the first shot from the huge enemy tank. The second bomb cancels the second and third shots. You'll see the message "Defended the Tanks" on the top of the screen and a Miclus will appear. Overlap and shoot the Miclus and get the medals one at a time. You should now have 100,000 point medals!

TANK x 3: Defend the three small friendly white tanks that the Huge Enemy Tank shoots at from its shots. If you defend all three tanks, a Miclus will appear from the huge white plane on the ground to the right of the Huge Enemy Tank! You can accomplish this by throwing two bombs to absorb the Huge Enemy Tank's shots. Oddly enough, your bombs don't hurt the small tanks, or anything else but the enemies for that matter. (100,000 points each)

Miclus: Defend the three small friendly tanks from the huge enemy tank's shots. You MUST NOT destroy the huge enemy tank while protecting the 3 smaller ones. If you defend all three tanks, a Miclus will appear from the huge white plane on the ground to the right of the Huge Enemy Tank!

Fairy: Destroy the huge enemy tank's turret and leave the tank body alone. When it can no longer retreat, a Fairy will pop out of the tank.

Aegis II-c Assistance: You will receive 100,000 points for every Aegis II-c that remains after you pass the Huge Enemy Tank.

The Boss:

You can get 2 "Destroyed at a time" bonuses by going point blank and killing the two sets of guns it drawn out.
The boss will cycle from two attack patterns: one is an aiming spread shot coupled with two side vulcans, another is a spread shot.
If you are having trouble with this boss move in a left/right formation. This will make it harder for the boss to trap you in between the side vulcans and the spread shot.
Many bosses in RF2 have relatively few hit points. The boss will die if you tickle him enough.
