The Magashi Plan

The Magashi plan is a solo mission where if you die the game is over. Lets run through some of the more challenging blocks.

*This post will auto update backwards as information gets added.

Equipment recommendations

  • De Colte Line for Megid
  • Dark Elemental Line Shield
  • Light Elemental Ranged Weapon
  • Ice Elemental Ranged Weapon with Freeze Status Effect
  • Stun / Resist for Bil De Vear

General Tips

  • Pick up all healing items including monomates and dimates.
  • Try not to waste trimates, they don't drop very often.
  • Bringing a gun with you can help against flying enemies.
  • FighMasters can use Tornado Dance through most enemies.
  • Take advantage of enemy boundaries. See where they disappear.

Block C-2

After April 24th, you'll meet up with Leo and Tonnio. For their own enjoyment of not helping you in battle, they will always pick the route you don't choose. To reach Block C-2 you will pick the route that requires the #2 gate key, which is the red gate off to the side.

Block C-2 is extremely easy to exploit because of the way it's set up. There is a monster barrier right behind the entrance door. As you enter the block there will be two Bil De Vears. Now you can just go in and fight  or we can take the easy way and stand behind the door.

The Bil De Vears will disappear right as they enter the door behind you, so you can use this to your advantage.  Rangers can shoot long distance weapons like shotguns. Techers can cast long distanced technics, fighters can also use guns or slicers to shoot unless your a FighMaster.

block-c-2-carriguine-above

After your done there's a red weapon unequipper gate at the bottom path. Instead of going in there to kill the Carriguine, stay at the top level and shoot from above. I have found that he doesn't throw Megid from here, but better be safe than sorry.

carriguine-cant-megid-here

Once its dead, run down to the lower path to trigger the next area. Again, we can exploit this by running back upstairs and shooting across the lower path with long distanced weapons or technics. You can alternatively shoot from the lower path but the Carriguine tends to cast Megid.  Once you kill them all you'll reach up to Magashi.

Magashi plays just like he does at Il Cabo Base, he's a little bit easier, but he tends to block your attacks.

 

New Years Compensation; GBR Extension on December 26th 2008

GBR Extension

EspioKaos discovered post maintenance notes where Parum GBR has been extended for one extra week until January 16th 2009.

Compensation Details

GM Edward has  posted details about this week's update which entails a small compensation during last week's rollback. The compensation runs through January 16th, 2008 and includes:

  •  +10% grind bonus for weapons
  •  Super Holy Light luck bonus for all races
  •  50% Discount for clothes and parts
  • +10% synth bonus for weapons and armor
  • Free Makeovers!

Lobby Changes

Kadomatsu

The Christmas lobby is over and will be replaced by the New Years Lobby on January 1st, 2009. The New Years Lobby will run through January 16th, 2009. So today is the last day to get your Dagger of Serafi from Rappy Noel. We suggest trying Lightning Beasts, or Scarred Planet, both missions are available on Parum and run within GBR.

Item Additions

With the addition of the New Years Lobby, a Bamboo item will be sold in the room goods shop. This Bamboo item is actually called "Kadomatsu" in Japan. You can see the Kadomatsu prominently featured in the Neudaiz and Cylez City lobbies. There will also be a casino item rotation.

Rollbacks for Xbox360 and PC/Ps2

Nooo SEGA! NOOO!

Curses! SEGA!

Last night, a new secret mission was released onto the Phantasy Star Universe servers. This test mission called " Rare Enemy Check Lv. LINEALINE" featured waves and waves of rare enemies. Players quickly grabbed up all the Rappy Feathers and boards they could get to synth their items. It was actually a debug mission not intended to go live on the normal servers. Due to this glitch, Sega issued a rollback for both Xbox 360 and Ps2 servers to the night before maintenance. No cheap Ultra/Quick  for you!
