This is my achievement guide for Armored Core 4. I also posted it in the "writing an achievement guide..." but no one probably knows that one is done. So, I hope that everyone enjoys it. Also, I'll still be taking any advice that can change the guide and make it better. Of course, you'll be credited for your input.

 

Thanks

Armored Core 4 Achievement Guide

 

First thing that im going to do on the guide is write down the Mech specifications that I used during the missions and data packs. I will be giving each a name and also be stating which ones I used for each mission. But before trying to build a mech, just purchase one of the mech options in the beginning, and use it to unlock more parts and earn some money. Alright, some of you may not have some of the parts I used, that is because they have to be unlocked by obtaining an S-Rank on certain missions, but of course, if anyone feels they can improve on these mechs, than go ahead. For the first Mech, I'll list the body parts,Boosters,Stabilizers,and FRS. But not on the second or third ones because it's all the same except for a couple weapon changes. Also, some of this may seem confusing, so if thats the case, let me know what's confusing you and I'll try to make it more clear.

BurnOgoto: BODY:HEAD:Salaux. CORE:Salaux. ARMS:Salaux LEGS:047AN04(Biped Legs). FCS:LAURA. GENERATOR:GAN01-SS-G.

BOOSTERS: MAIN:MB107-POLARIS. BACK:BB103-SCHEAT. SIDE:Holofernes or S02-001-EGA OVER:KB-Judith

WEAPONS: R ARM:ER-0200. L ARM:ER-0200. R BACK:OGOTO. L BACK:OGOTO. SHOULDER:None. R HANGAR:None. L HANGAR: None

STABILIZERS: AUTO

FRS: Can either do what you think is good for the mech, or this is what I did- MAX OUT EN OUTPUT, EN CAPACITY, HORIZONTAL THRUST, VERTICAL THRUST, QUICK THRUST ON MAIN & SIDE, & EN Attack- Than can dump the rest on EN Weapon Skill or Armor.

BurnMoon: WEAPONS: R ARM:07-MOONLIGHT. L ARM:07-MOONLIGHT

BurnSirius: WEAPONS: L BACK:HLC02-SIRIUS. R BACK:HLC02-SIRIUS

Okay, now that you know what mechs to own, I'll be now listing each chapter along with the missions in each chapter. Plus I'll be including the way to beat the missions on Normal and Hard difficulties, and what mech to use for the mission. Again, if anyone is confused by any of this, please let me know so I can help clear it up for you.

CHAPTER 1: 20GAwarded for completing Chapter 1

First Strike: Use the BurnOgoto mech.

-When the mission starts, hit both bumpers to switch to the Ogoto's on your back. Than fly over the first city section, than over the water with the bridge. Right at the end of the bridge is 3 enemy Normals. Use the Ogoto's to destroy the 3 Normals with ease. On Hard, there will be 6 enemy Normals to deal with, but once again the Ogoto's are the weapons to use.

CHAPTER 2: 30G Awarded for completing Chapter 2

Swarm of Red Eyes: Use the BurnSirius mech.

-When the mission starts, boost forward a bit to get closer to the swarms. Once the Swarms are close enough to lock on to, blast them with the ER-0200 rifles until you are out of ammo, than switch tothe Sirius cannons to finish them up if needed. On Hard, there will be lots more swarms and 5 flying drones, but still pretty easy mission.

Elimination: Use the BurnOgoto mech.

-When the mission starts, there will be enemy drones on the room in front of you. Just start destroying them with either the ER-0200's or OGOTO's. Once done with the first room, go to the second room to finish up the rest of the drones. On Hard, there will be drones along with enemy Normals equipped with BIGSOUX, so be careful to dodge even though there's not much room. But again, just use the ER-0200's in the first room than sit back and fire Lamia backmount AS missiles into second room from first with out going in to destroy all enemies.

Dangerous Waters: Use the BurnOgoto mech.

-When the mission starts, you'll be falling down a shaft, switch to your OGOTO's when falling. Also, be sure to use booster to avoid contact with the waters because they are littered with mines. Once down far enough, you'll see a big room with 4 enemy Normals to destroy. Just shoot them with the OGOTO's and that's it. On Hard, there are 5 enemy Normals to destroy , but just use the OGOTO's again and this mission is done.

Operation Descent: Use the BurnOgoto mech.

-When the mission starts, you'll be falling toward a structure that you'll need to go into. First, switch to the OGOTO's while falling, than when you get closer to the structure, Lasers will start to fire up at you. Just boost and dodge until you are inside the structure, and once inside there will be 3 enemy Normals to destroy. Just blow them up with the OGOTO's to finish them up with no effort. On Hard, there will be more Lasers shooting up at you, just boost and dodge again. Plus,there are 5 enemy Normals to destroy, but again, the OGOTO's are the weapon to use.

Sharpshooting: Use the BurnOgoto mech.

-When the mission starts, switch to the OGOTO's on your back while boosting and dodging the incoming laser. Now boost over to the 3 ground targets shooting the big blue lasers at you and destey them with the OGOTO's. On Hard, do the same as on Normal, but now there now will be 5 ground targets to destroy.

Bald-Dora: Use the BurnOgoto mech.

-When the mission starts, fly through the canyon while either avoiding or destroying the enemy cannons on the way to the main objectives of 6 enemy Normals. Once you reach the end where there's a building, along with the 6 Normals, 2 are on the ground, 4 on the building, use the OGOTO's to destroy the Normals. On Hard, It's the same as the Normal difficulty, just that the enemies do more damage. So, be careful and efficient and it should be easy.

SandStorm Citadel: Use the BurnOgoto mech.

-When the mission starts, use the radar to locate the enemy base where the nuclear missiles are that you have to destroy. All you got to do do boost and dodge directly over to the big red for on the radar to get to the nuclear missiles quickly, just ignore all the enemies. Once you find the base, destroy the nuclear missiles with the OGOTO's. On Hard, there will an enemy NEXT, but just ignore the NEXT and go straight to the nuclear missiles at the base and destroy with the OGOTO's.

Desert Wolf: Use the BurnSirius mech.

-When the mission starts, switch to the Sirius cannons and boost over to the buildings. Once the NEXT is in the area, shoot it with the Sirius cannons to destroy it with little effort. On Hard, do the same thing as on Normal difficulty, but after you destroy the first NEXT, another NEXT will come to the area. Just shoot and destroy the second enemy NEXT with the Sirius cannons and it should be destroyed in no time.

Aerial Interdiction: Use the BurnOgoto mech.

-When the mission starts, Use the ER-0200's to shoot down the 8 transport helicopters(they are the bigger helicopters). There will also be 4 or 5 fling normals shhoting at you, which you can either destroy or ignore, you're choice. Keep shooting the helicopter until the mission says "enemy transport is on the ground and moving quick", look for the train transport on the tracks on the ground to the left from where started on the bridge. Once you see the train, shoot it a few times with the OGOTO's on your back to destroy it. Also, be sure that no transport helicopter get by because you'll fail mission if that happens. On Hard, there will also be an enemy air fortress to destroy also. Just shoot it with the OGOTO's while doding to destroy. Do it quick because the train transport is still on it's way.

Icebreaker Defense: Use the BurnOgoto mech.

-When the mission starts, switch to the OGOTO's and wait till you see a red dot appear on the radar. Once the red dot appears, boost over to it and destroy with once shot from the OGOTO's. Repeat this pattern until all submarines are gone.They appear in the same order and place everytime, so play it a couple of times to get used to where exactly they pop up at. There are only 8 submarines to destroy, so it should be easy to do. On Hard, there will be about 5 flying drones shooting at you, just ignore or destroy,your choice.

Water Gliding: Use the BurnOgoto mech.

-When the mission starts, switch to the OGOTO's and boost to the first ship just beyond the buildings. Than proceed to destroy all the other 3 ships.

Might Makes Right: Use the BurnOgoto mech.

-When the mission starts, destroy the enemy in front of you, than proceed into the first tube. Boost straight up, than half way turn around and go into tunnel. Once you come out of the tunnel, drop straight down and proceed through the tunnel in front of you, but watch out for the enemy with the BIGSOUX equipped. Once get to the end of that tunnel, drop down again and go forward. The last 5 enemy Normals are scatter throughout the tubes and tunnels. On Hard, do the same as on Normal difficulty, but this time there is 9 Normals you have to destroy.

Barbe-Bleue: Use the BurnOgoto mech.

-When the mission starts, switch to the OGOTO's and watch the radar. Whenever you see red dots appear on the map, boost as quick as possible over to the red dot and destroy with the OGOTO's. Just keep doing this pattern until all enemies are gone. On Hard, It's the same as on Normal difficulty. Just remember to be real quick and efficient.

Retaliation: Use the BurnOgoto mech.

Just destroy the walking fortress with the OGOTO's and that about it.

A Dark Night's March: Use the BurnOgoto mech.

-When the mission starts, switch to the OGOTO's and boost forward a bit until you find enemies on your radar. There will also be flair's being shot up into the air to help with visibility.

Internal Purge: Use the BurnOgoto mech.

-When the mission starts, switch to the OGOTO's and proceed throught the tunnels to each of the 3 objectives, destroying the enemies along the way. Once you reach one of the objectives, destroy it with the OGOTO's from a distance. Do this for all 3 and that's it. On Hard, It's the same as on normal, but after you destroy the 3rd objective, there will be an enemy NEXT coming from the tunnel that you came from. Just destroy the NEXT with the OGOTO's and that's it.

CHAPTER 4: 50G Awarded for completing Chapter 4

Ego Boost: Use the BurnOgoto mech.

-When the mission starts, switch to the OGOTO's and proceed to destroy the waves of transport helicopters before they drop off the enemy Normals. Continue to do the same for the next 2 waves of transport heilcopters and should be done in no time. If you dont get the helicopters before they drop the Normals, who'll have a little trouble, but just destroy the Normals with the OGOTO's if they are dropped off. On Hard, there will be an enemy NEXT after you destroy the 2nd wave, so be careful and destroy the NEXT with the OGOTO's quickly. Other than that, the mission is pretty simple.

FireFly: Use the BurnMoon mech.

-When the mission starts, boost straight ahead quckly to the air fortress and slice it with the MOONLIGHT Blades to destroy it. The mission is at night so it will be hard to see the air fortress, but should find it pretty easy, especially after it fires missiles and lasers at you. On Hard, Do the same as on Normal difficulty, but would also recommend using some shouldermount Flares to distract the air fortress' missile attacks, than after you destroy the first air fortress, boost back to where you started the mission. Be careful because there will be 3 more air fortress's to destroy with the MOONLIGHT blades. Be careful and boost and dodge because you can be destroyed really quick if not careful.

Be careful of the ground lasers that can shoot you from below.

Pillar of Light: Use the BurnOgoto mech.

-When the mission starts, switch to the OGOTO's and than boost like crazy while dodging incoming lasers and missiles and get under the structure to the right where enemies are firing from and blow the dome thats under it to lower's targets shield.

Be sure to be quick and efficient with each NEXT. On hard, there will be no help with the NEXT's, but here's the way I did it. Not sure it it works all the time but is you stay neat the edge of the combat area where it says "Limit of Area" on the screen, stay there flying around because the NEXT's just flew around, away from me. Than came up one at a time as i got closer to them. Than use the OGOTO's or Sirius cannons along with the ER-0200 rifles to destroy the NEXT's one at a time.

Thanks, but actually, there is a help part for Hard, it's with the mission's guide. It will say "On Hard, " for each mission. But, if needed, I can add more info about the Hard difficulties, although there isn't much differences between Hard and Normal except for a few more enemies or a NEXT. But, that info is already included with each mission.

Well, I see that a lot of people are looking at my achievement guide, but are not leaving any replies about whether it's helping anyone or not. So Please, let me know if this guide is of any help, and if it's not of any help so that I know to change anything or not.

 

Thanks

Okay, I'll put any comments I make on your guide right here. But for right now, I'm quite busy so I won't get to it until later. Hope it's good!

Edit:

I see several spelling errors, and I notice that some of your methods on beating the missions are good, but could be better. I'll PM you some specifics. Okay,nevermind despised Icon, I can't send you any private messages. I guess I'll put the stuff here.

 

One thing I have a serious problem with is the mention of SIRIUS cannons. What are these? If you are referring to KOJIMA Cannons, then say that.

 

In addition to giving your list of mechs (or instead) give tips on what kind of parts and tuning should be used. Persoanlly, I feel that almost all the ways you described to beat the missions, have a bette and easier way to beat them. For example, instead of using rifles on SWARM OF RED EYES (on normal), it is much, much easier and less costly to use the Shotgun arm parts. On hard, I use shotgun arms, and whatever back weapons. On ELIMINATION,you are too vague. For most people, this will be the last mission to get 'S' rank on hard. One thing you may need to do is change your version of the game based on updates (More on that at the bottom). Anyway, it is much easier on the hard version to use the second most costly rifles on version 1.0, but DO have Ogotto's on your back. The reason for using the mostly costly rifles is that they track very well, and are very accureate. Start by having your very rifles out, and shoot at everything. The rifles will either blow the missiles up in the enemy's face, or will stun the enemy so they can't shoot. In the second room just keep firing at the enemies from a distance away, using your radar to find them. If you run out of rifle ammo, which you shouldn't, then use your Ogotto's on the remaing enemies. OKay, I'm finding a pattern. The mission descriptions are good to beat the missions, but the directions are too vague to gurantee an 'S' rankning on every mission. Here are some tips/ suggestions you may consider:

For all missions where you fight an enemy next:

Desert Wolf(EH)

Up in Flames(EH)

Sea of Blood(EH)

Empress(EH)

Jardin De Chavalier(EH)

Break the White Lance(Not a destroy next mission, but you use same strategy)(EH)

Firefly(Again, not a next mission, but same strategy)(EH)

The Womb(same as above^^^)(EH)

Operation Ascend on HARD(look at FIREFLY/ASCEND tips below)

Marche Au Supplice(EH)

Seed a Barren Earth(EH)

(There are some others that can be used the same way, if chosen)

 

Missions with "(EH)" next to them, mean to use same strategy on normal and hard.

On ALL of the above missions, the best idea is to use some form of Kojima weapons. In the case of ONE enemy next, or large enemy use the KOJIMA ARM PARTS that are weapons AND arms. When fighting 2-4 nexts/enemies, you should use KOJIMA RIFLES (mainly for Marche Au Supplice). On FIREFLY and ACEND (on hard), you will encounter aeirial fortesses. On Firefly, I suggest using KOJIMA CANNONS. On easy, you only need to shoot once. On hard, you need to land all your shots on the Four Aerial Fortress, and you'll take them down. On ASCEND (HARD), you use KOJIMA CANNONS as well. In this case, have grenade launchers (the least costly) set as your regular weapons. Shoot out the layers with the 'nade launchers. When you get to the top, there will be aerial fortresses. Take them out with you Kojima Cannons.

*When using Kojima weapons, you tap the 'a' and 'x' buttons once, and when they seem fully charged (go practice and see how it looks) they are ready to fire. To fire them simply tap 'a' and 'x' again.

 

GENERAL TIPS:

These are some tips I didn't see mentioned in your guide. In most cases, the littlest things can improve your progress.

Data Packs: Simple KOJIMA carrying mechs, or a well-constructed missle mech, will breeze you through the data packs.

Extra help on tuning mechs: When trying to get 'S' on a mission, you may notice some attributes are more necessary than others (Speed, defense, aiming). First, learn what is most necessary to your mission, then buy parts respectively according to that. Now to tune:

~To get boost speed up

-Tune as much as you can on EN output, then EN capacity. If you have remaining FRS memory, use the rest on your quick boosting, and decide if you need more horizontal, or vertical.

- Take all stabilizers OFF. These only weigh you down, and the only time they should be used is to make sure you front is not heavier than your rear end (Although, still unecessary)

~To get defense up

- Tune as much as you can on KP output. This will usually increase your defense (when maxed out) by five points.

- Tune your defense up in your parts. You can choose between arms, head, legs, and core. The most dramtaic effect comes from tuning your core, then your legs, then your arms, and then your head.

~To get Overboost up

- Again, tune as much as you can on KP output.

- After that, put the rest on overboost. (The reason KP output helps your overboost is becuase your defense, the bar below you Ap, regenerates on a speed dependant on your KP output. You can overboost for longer, and be able to do it again faster with a higher KP output)

~To get Aiming up

- Tune on your lock-on speed.

- Tune ion your radar refresh.

 

All of the above can be mixed and match to achieve the greatest effect when playing missions. It is best to complete the data packs easily, then worry about getting 'S' on the very hard missions.

 

!!!VERSIONS!!!: The version you play on is very important when trying to complete the game. Versions are the differences in updates that From Software has given. The versions, as far as I know, are 1.00, 1.20, 1.30, and 1.40. The differences of these various updates can be seen when you select them in the SYSTEM menu in sigleplayer or multiplayer, but only affect the type you toggle it in. So if you adjusted it in multiplayer, it only affects multiplayer. Anyway, I'm guessing Despised played in version 1.00, or the latest version, so play on the same version HE played on if you are to follow his guide. I got all 1000 points using version 1.00 so it's very possible.

 

 

Okay, that's about it! I'm sorry if it's a little unoorganized, or if it is confusing. I haven't played the game in months, so I may have used wrong terms or names.

 

Anyway, despised, you don't have to use any of my ideas/suggestions, but I reccomend it. ;)

Thanks deathbypig, I really appreciate the info given. As for the Sirius cannons, i say the exact name at the top with the mech info. But to be honest, there where a couple things I didn't like in your info. 1st, dont just say KOJIMA weapons, because most people wont know what weapons your talking about and you dont many Kojima weapons until after you beat missions with an s rank. and 2nd, I did mention which missions have enemy NEXT's and whether or not there are more of them on hard. Also, with the Elimination mission, I gave the best description for it since it's really short and easy to complete. But anyway, I will definitely be using some of your suggestions for the guide as soon as Im not busy.

 

Thanks

ELIMINATION was the last mission for me to get 'S' on hard. Do you have 'S' on that mission? The reason I described in my terms is because it was the easiest, and most effiecent way of getting an 'S' rankning on that mission (on hard).

This is a nice guide. The only thing I dont' like is how much the OGOTO cannons are used. They are awful trying to fight a NEXT, especially in the air beacause they miss too much. The splash damage on the ground is ok, but I always took too much damage to get a good mission ranking in missions where I used ogoto's vs. nexts.

Try the Sirius Cannons and Kojima weapons. Also, tune your NEXT to have better targeting.

How about something more realistic in weapons and mechs to do these missons as not everyone is the perfect gamer or sit on it all day long like its taken me about 15hrs total of game play on and off to get to chapter 3 and maybe gotten a b as a high gradeout of all the ones I've done. :uzi:

 

You used the Burn AC and still have a hard time? This is a hard game but you should at least feel that it is still possible to get A ranks... All bets are off if there are those flying fortresses, those are just plain incredibly hard.

 

If you describe the missions you are stuck on, I might be able to help.
