Alright by now you should probably have an idea of whats going on Bruce Dungeon S. Some of you may not but its best to stay ahead of the game. So lets go through some of the aspects of why some teams fail and how others survive. If you would like to add in your own special comment on particular situations, send in a comment below and it may be added into this guide.

There are many different strategies on completing Bruce Dungeon S. This is just one of them, other teams may be comfortable with different routes and may like all their members to stay together. This guide will cover split groups which was the norm for Bruce Dungeon A B and C. However I have played in groups where most people have stayed together and completed the mission with S.

Block 1

When setting up your party you can decide to split your group into 2. The Red Team will be played by Fortefighters, Protransers, Fighgunners, Acfrofighters, Fortegunners and ForteTecher. Fighters need to have the most HP to be able to receive a considerable amount of damage. Protransers and Gunners need to use traps to so that fighters can kill off enemies. Both Fighters and Gunners in Red Teams should equip Star Atomizers and Sol Atomizers because common failures basically come from a techer not being around to heal, or cure your stun status.

The Blue Team aka Bruce team should be played by ForteTecher, Wartecher, Acrotecher, Acrofighters. Techers will mostly heal Bruce.

Keys are #1 priority in finishing on time. Get keys first before you defeat any enemies.

During Block 1, you will encounter 4 warps. On your minimap face to the left or west to understand which warp is right and which one is left. The bottom warps are the ones closest to you. The top warps are the ones farthest to you, they are by the wall. Other team members learned the warps a different way. They might say "right warp" or "left warp."

In this guide:
Right Warp pertains to the Top Right Warp.
Left Warp pertains to Bottom Left Warp.

At the four warps, Bruce will say:

• "There is only one right answer…" Top Left Warp
• "The one Handed Sword is Easiest To Weild" Top Right Warp
• "My Skills with a Pistol is legendary" Bottom Left Warp
• "Nothing" Bottom Right Warp

Block 2

Bil De Vears commonly cause a team to fail a mission. Generally the strategy against Bil De Vears is to not knock them back with your Photon Arts. However when your under a time constraint and trying to get the most damage per second, it is unlikely you may follow this. To be more realistic against this type of ememy, Fortefighters, Fighgunners, and Protransers should attack head on, the rest should stay back and heal if needed. Fortefighters are most likely to die when Bil De Vears stomp on the ground and they become stunned. It is the job of both members on the Red Team to equip Star and Sol Atomizers if no Protransers  and Techers are present.

The Red Team should enter the portal for Key #2

Key #2 is a frequent death spot. The Blue Team should never enter the portal because it is a pretty small room with a lot going on. You can’t always control where Bruce will run so please keep the Blue Team out of these areas.  Key #2 can be less stressful if 3 people stay in the room. Protransers should stun or freeze Bil De Vears. Fighters will attack head on, and Techers can heal ailments.

You can trade them in for various decorations and music discs for your room.

If you are unlucky enough to get this rare map, be prepared for a tough battle ahead. You will need proper team work if your on higher ranking levels when you fight Magashi. This rare map may include 2 Seed Magashi during Block C, or none at all. Have scape dolls ready because Magashi is gearing up for the Super Bowl and will Tackle you!

Key Points for Seed Magashi Route

• Scape Dolls and Star Atomizers are a must.
• Heal other teammates even if Techers are present in party.
• Don’t rely heavily on Techers in Block D
  their low HP will get them killed in one hit.
• Block D is specialized for Figunners and Protransers, and Invincible/Defensive Beasts.
• In Block D place Freeze Traps, Confuse Traps, or Sleep Traps.
• Advise teammates not to rush into spawns unless placing traps.

There are three different routes to reach the boss. You can choose between the Onmagoug & Dimmagolus Route, or Zoal Goug & Magas Maggahna route. Randomly the game will chose the Seed-Magashi Dulk Fakis Route, which gives you the chance to receive rare drops and boards as well as the maximum 350% increased experience for those areas.

Block C - Seed Magashi Route

This map can take the longest to complete if your teammates are on the lower end of the Rank’s minimum levels. It also depends on if you get SEED Magashi during this Block. Otherwise it will be easy for you to get through. Disc 5 is located near the beginning by shooting at a red switch. Disc 6 is located behind yet another false wall. This time the wall isn’t so noticeable and you might easily pass it up.

Shoot the Switch!

Block D - Seed Magashi Route

At the beginning of this map, you can use goggles to find the safest path through all the darkness. You’ll eventually reach up towards the center and thats where all the fun begins! Disc 7 you’ll need to open the gate by stepping on the switches, then killing the spawns carefully without killing yourself in the process. They can kill you in one hit if your HP is not high enough. If you have any traps, use them quickly because this area can quickly use up your scape dolls. After you purify seed pods with your photon eraser that you can add to your actions palette from the items menu, destroy the main SEED core and Disc 7 will appear. Disc 8 is hidden inside a box, and is easily obtainable except for the fact that its heavily guarded by monsters with 1 hit kills.

If you’ve made it this far, Congratulations! Here is Disc #8

Final Block - Seed Magashi’s Dulk Fakis

As always, you can obtain the 9th Disc behind you by shooting a box. Disc 10 is located in the center of the arena after a few hits to Dulk Fakis.

The new winter event has been released giving everyone the chance to receive up to 350% increase in experience points. This is a great way to earn money and make new friends. If you haven’t started playing PSU, try it now! Winter Event Missions finish February 1st.

Key Points for Winter Event Missions

• Winter Event is Located on Cylez City 5th Floor.
• Winter Event requires up to a maximum of 4 players to join a party.
• Players can not join mid mission.
• You only need 9 chips to get an S rank.
• You do not need the expansion pack to play Winter Event.
• Experience Boost is dependent on location.
• Dulk Fakis Route is Rare indicated by Seed Purification.

There are three different routes to reach the boss. You can choose between the De Ragan & De Ragnus Route, or Adahna Degahna & Dimmagolus route. Randomly the game will chose the Dulk Fakis Route, which gives you the chance to receive rare drops and boards as well as the maximum 350% increased experience for those areas.

Block A - All Routes

Block A is the same for all routes. There are two disks on this floor. One is located on the ceiling while the other is located in a boss box after you defeat all SEED and monsters.

Shoot the Switch on the Ceiling and Win Free Disk!

Block B - De Ragnus Route

Block B is probably the easiest to mess up. It requires team work and listening skills to make it through. After you finish defeating enemies in the first half you will eventually reach up to a blue gate where a random NPC will join your mission. So far I’ve seen Bruce and Curtz. They will then follow the party’s leader and guide them on what path to choose.

Ahead of you will be a fork, one person in your team should take the left fork, while the party leader takes the right fork. The person on the left fork should tell you which enemy they are fighting. They should also include any status elements below the enemy’s name. After you get this information, the players on the right side of the fork will need to kill the enemy thats exactly the same as what the person said. For the first batch  of enemies all you have to do is kill the correct enemy that the person on the left fork said. In the second batch there may be two similar monsters, but  each will have a different  status beneath their name. You need to kill the enemy with the same status that the person on the left fork said. You may get another batch and you’ll just have to kill the same enemy as before.

The person who took the left fork can find the 4th disk by breaking a tree near the cave in front of them. The location of the tree is indicated by the #4 in the map above.

Block C - De Ragnus Route

Pretty Straight forward, all you need to do is use the goggles under two rubble areas, destroy them, and pick up the disks.

Disk 5 & 6 appears under random locations?

Block D - De Ragnus Route

In the last block before the bosses. The 7th chip is located inside boxes within the 3 switch door to the right. After you get that chip you may get the 8th chip by shooting twice at the trees in the back area so that their beehives fall down.

Shoot at this tree in the back.

Final Block - De Ragan / De Ragnus

During De Ragan Boss fight you will see this random boss box out in the middle of nowhere. Its your job to blast open this box before the boss fight is over. During the De Ragnus Boss fight after a certain amount of hits the last disk will fall on the ground.

There comes a time in a Beast’s life where you ready to progress into maturity. Nanoblasting is when a Beast turns into a BEAST. Your the tallest hovering over all your party, and you can smash and bash to any enemy on the screen. But there are a few requirements before you can become a full blown beast. 

Nanoblast Minimum Requirements:

1. Are you a Beast?
2. Are you Level 20 or above?
3. Do you have 10,000 Meseta or More?

If you answered YES to all three questions you may already be a Winner!

On the Guardians Colony, head to the 3rd Floor, and enter the Makeup Shop. Choose a Beast Badge and select from the four choices.

After you select your choice you can now officially Nanoblast.

While your battling, you will notice a 4 bars below your name. Each bar starts out grey and will slowly fill up. These bars fill up when you attack an enemy, or when the enemy attacks you. They fill up much faster when you are critically hit, so if you need to fill them up fast just try to get hit, and eventually it will become a glowing lens flare!

During this mode you can now push your Main attack and Photon Art Attack buttons at the same time. No matter what console you are playing on; Xbox 360, PS2, or PC, you will always need to press your Main attack and Photon Art Attack buttons together. You can only do this when you are not moving, otherwise you will just keep hitting enemies.

A Blue Beast is an Independent Beast

There are four different Beast Badges 

1. Vande Val
   • This is the Invincibility Beast Badge. It has the shortest time span but is the most useful in battle. You will not get hit from any attacks and you can mash away as much as you like. Use this against bosses like Dulk Fakis, and you’ll have full health while everyone is near dying.
2. Adaka Val
   • This is the Power Beast Badge. It has the highest hit rate. Unfortunately you can still receive damage and since you can’t heal yourself you will often times need to play very defensively around strong enemies. If you have a healer in your team, you should try to stay around them.
3. Boggo Val
   • This is the Defense Beast Bladge. It has the highest defense rate from attacks. Unfortunately you can still receive damage. If you have a healer in your team, you should try to stay around them when near death
4. Zeed Val
   • This is the Speed Beast Bladge. It has the highest agility and evasion rate from attacks. You may be dodging some attacks which gives you oppurtunity to do a Just Counter!
