Ambitions End S Rank Walkthrough

Ricardo 1 Comment

Laia Martinez

Ambitions End story mission has major plot changes and character devolopment as we are introduced to a brand new character named Obel. This is one of the few very hard story missions and this time, it doesn't rely on time limits to increase the difficulty. However you have 6 minutes to complete it to gain S Rank results.

Ambitions End 1

At the start of the trial head forward and defeat all in front of you. For S rank purposes skip killing any Fire traps along the way. Some of them will give you keys to open a locked gate to the north. Avoid obtaining these keys as they will be a waste of time. Head over to the left and defeat the special assault ops. Get the key and head straight to the right, and defeat all the enemies to open the door to the next block.

Block 2

In the second block its very straight forward. Just try to kill them in the quickest amount of time possible. Eventually you'll reach the end of the trial.

Magashi

Renvolt Magashi

Here you'll fight several Magashi clones.  If you have 3 star luck, it would be a good time to fight Megashi to receive his special Arms, Legs, and Torso materials. Later on you'll use these to create a new Partner Machinery not released yet.

Ambitions End 2

Here are the key points on getting S rank for this mission.

  • Minimize outside distractions, skip unnecessary monsters
  • Bring your strongest light weapon with the highest damage per second.
  • Skip monsters that appear in narrow corridors.
  • If you have a key, run to the nearest locked door or gate.
  • In Block 2, you only need 2 keys, avoid the other set.

Block 1

When you start the trial, defeat the 3 galdeen, and head to the right, defeat the next set of monsters. Then head to the right and pick up the key. You should skip every monster that spawns until you open the door with the key.

In every narrow corridor you will be skipping enemies that appear, including the Delp Slami that appears next to the ceiling traps.

In this last room you'll see some inactivated floor warps. Do not step anywhere in their vicinity. They will automatically spring a trap and teleport you back, as indicated on the map above.

Block 2

As you start, fight the 3 galdeen in front of you, run to the right and avoid waiting for the key to drop. Head over and fight the large crab, hit it's weak spot for massive damage. Run back to the start of the block and pick up the key and open the door. Head through and skip the Galdeen. As you reach to the next area, skip the Galdeen again, and fight the giant lobster across the dip, then pick up the key.

There is a fake wall behind this Zasharogan, if you run through it, you will obtain a key.

Head to the lower area and fight all monsters here and obtain the key to open the gate. You may now skip these monsters ahead and run to the right and fight the last 2 Zasharogan to finish the trial.

This mission also contains a treasure trove of Nanopolymers, Ortapolymers, and Metapolymers. But you won't be able to obtain a S rank if your trying to get them. You can find keys hidden around in monsters or secret rooms. The map above shows you the exact 4 locations on where to find the keys.

Neudaiz Guardians Boost Road and Phantom Fissure

GBR: What does it stand for?

GBR is used as initials for Guardians Boost Road. Its a series of missions that players play in order to gain a drop rate increase. Each time you play a mission thats along the road, you will be able to accumulate points which adds to the value of how much percent increase the drop rate will be boosted. Guardians Boost road will run from August 22nd to September 26, 2008.

The Rules of GBR

GBR will increase the drop rate by a certain percentage based on the lowest number of points you received by completing missions that are along it's path. Points will be given out as soon as you complete a mission, you must be inside the mission as you complete it. Simply playing the same mission over and over will not increase your boost rate.

As points are added you will earn a class, this class determines the percentage you will be contributing to a party. Other players in their party will also use their own scores. These points will add cumulatively, determining the total boost percentage. Essentially having more players in your party boosts the drop rate higher.

What missions are in GBR and where are they located?

All missions in Neudaiz GBR are located on Neudaiz. The first mission is Hill of Spores which is located on the Shikon Tanze Route. To reach Shikon Tanze Route, ask someone to take you there if you don't have the lobby available from the Transfer Lady. Otherwise playing the mission: "Forested Islands" from Neudaiz will allow you to reach to the Shikon Tanze Route. Each mission plays one after the other so the next available mission will always be there at a lobby until you reach the end.

Shikon Tanze Route > Hill of Spores > Dancing Birds > Use Ohtaku City Gate > Flowery Pursuit > Head to Pavillion of Air > Sacred Stream > White Beast

 

Player Examples

On a typical run, a level 140 player who completes all 5 missions on S2 rank difficulty will get 5 points for each mission:

  • Example #1
    • Hill of Spores : 5 Pts
    • Dancing Birds : 5 Pts
    • Flowery Pursuit : 5Pts
    • Sacred Stream : 5 Pts
    • White Beast : 5 Pts

The rules of GBR states that your lowest point on any given mission will be the basis of how much percentage boost you will contribute to the party. So the lowest point in the first example is 5.

Lets look at Example #2 where various characters of different levels played GBR in a random fashion.

  • Example #2
    • Hill of Spores : 15 Pts
    • Dancing Birds : 13 Pts
    • Flowery Pursuit : 12 Pts
    • Sacred Stream : 20 Pts
    • White Beast : 12 Pts

The lowest points occurred on White Beast & Flowery Pursuit. 12 Pts will factor into the boost percentage you will contribute. As you can see, in order to reap the full benefits of GBR, you need to give equal attention to all the missions.

Phantom Fissure and how to find it!

During GBR, you and your party may encounter a rare Neudaiz mission called Phantom Fissure. Phantom Fissure is a permanent addition to the game and will also occur after GBR is over. In order to find Phantom Fissure you can do any mission, preferably on Neudaiz.

There are 2 key factors in order to flag this mission.

  • Players must be within the mission's field before the mission is cleared.
  • Eligible party members must be within a mission for at least 80% of the time.

Rare missions are no longer based on time or amount of players. You have the same chances of finding a rare mission as a solo player. However the biggest change is eligible party members. Only the party members who have been flagged for that mission is eligible to participate in it as long as they fulfilled the criteria above. You will see a message on the screen telling you if you have been flagged for that mission. You may no longer invite friends to play with you in a rare mission if they were not in your party at least 80% of the time, and if they were in the lobby at the time of the mission's clearance.

Please note, Sega of Japan has recently changed the method of finding rare missions. This method does not affect the US servers until Sega of America announces it.
