Astro Boy: Omega Factor - Strategy Guide (Page 03)
Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Astro Boy: Omega Factor - Strategy Guide (Page 03).
You can get some small hearts and one big heart. If you
are having problems accessing this area, make sure you're beside
the C-shaped disc. Jump up and then jet downwards. You'll end
up at the bottom of the screen. The monster actually attacks.
At the top of the pyramid, destroy the second door of
the Marine Express to meet Don Dracula again. This will give
Astro another power-up. Proceed towards the right to go to the
next stage.
Stage 6-4 Ancient Prince Sharaku
---------
Character: Rock
Just like what the stage title implies, Astro gets to
challenge Sharaku in this stage. It's Sharaku's pyschic
powers against Astro's 100,000 horse-power. This will be a
"hovering" shooting boss battle. Sharaku has several attacks
and they are:
Spear - Sharaku uses his spear to stab Astro. He can
also summon several spears that will lock on
Astro's current location.
Aztlan - One of Sharaku's summons. Take note that the
spear Sharaku throws while summoning can hit
Astro. Anyway, Aztlan attacks using fireballs
from the jewels that lines its body. These
fireballs always go down. You can just go over
Aztlan and you won't get hit. You can also
destroy the jewels to prevent it from using
the fireballs.
Mictlan - One of Sharaku's summons. Mictlan leaves some
ice crystals at its path. To stop Mictlan
from leaving those crystals, destroy its tail.
Atonatiuh - When Sharaku moves his spear in a circular
pattern, he will summon rocks to rain down on
Astro. Take note that Sharaku is invincible
during the entire attack animation. The rocks
are easily avoided since you can already see
where it will appear before it completely
materializes.
The best way to start the fight is to use the machine
gun. This will prevent Sharaku from using any of his attacks.
Spam the finger beam, arm cannon and the machine gun.
After defeating Sharaku, he'll inform Astro that Pook IS
his trump card. He'll mention about a certain secret of the
HOA KABARI KILUMA potion or whatever that is. You'll learn about
this later. After three months, preparations to return to the
future has been finished. Astro explains to Wally that Sharaku
has this ability of altering space and time.
Rock decides to stay and help find a solution to prevent
the Mu Empire from sinking. He thinks it is the best thing to do
since Rag will do an excellent job in the present. Good luck,
"President" Rock! You'll get Rock for the Omega Factor and the
stage ends.
Chapter 7 "World's Strongest Robots"
---------
Summary: Since Astro and Wally travelled in time and altered
certain events in history, what would happen to the time
they originally came from? The robots have gone on a rampage
and Astro needs to defeat the strongest robots in the world.
Stage 7-1 Versatile Robot: North
---------
Character: North
Upon returning to the present, things have gotten so
different. It seems that five years had already passed since
Astro and Wally disappeared. A huge robot will introduce
himself as Pluto, one of Shadow's followers. He informs Astro
that Shadow is waiting for him. Shadow informs Astro that 80%
of the world has been destroyed because of the fighting. The
robots and humans started fighting after the assassination of
President Rag. As any villain would tell you, you need loyal
followers to get the job done. He introduces the world's
strongest robots: North, Denkou, Brontus, Epsilon, and Pluto.
Shadow wonders if the 100,000 horse-power of the legendary hero,
Astro, will be able to stand against his psychic powers. Could
it be that Shadow is really...?
Astro first challenges the all-purpose robot called North.
During the first part of this battle, North will just
float while using his hands to block Astro's punches. If Astro
uses the arm cannon or a combo attack, North will counter-attack.
To defeat North, jump and punch him once. This will make North
raise one of his hands to block the attack. When he does this,
you can either:
a. Air dash towards the open side and punch him.
b. Use the machine gun followed by the arm cannon.
c. Use the finger beam.
This fight will probably take some time if you don't use the
arm cannon. When North receives enough damage, he will show his
six different arms.
Time for round two. North will now attack or defend
using one of his arms. The arms, from the upper-left, counter-
clockwise, are:
Missile Launcher
Shield
Driller
Self-Destructing Enemy Launcher
Beam Cannon
Blade Launcher
You can now use the arm cannon in this fight without worrying
of a counter-attack. Start the fight with a machine gun and this
will stun North. Proceed with an air combo and finish it with one
of your super moves. Repeat until you defeat North.
You will get North for the Omega Factor after the fight.
Power-up any of Astro's stats and proceed to the next boss,
Denkou.
Stage 7-2 Invisible Robot: Denkou
---------
Character: Denkou
Denkou is the second boss of this chapter. Denkou's only
form of attack is his time bombs. Combo him and make sure he
is not able to use his optical camouflage. In case Denkou had
the chance to become invisible, you need to hit the sensors
located on the different platforms. During the first time Denkou
becomes invisible, you need to hit one sensor. The second time,
you are required to hit two. And three sensors for the rest of
the battle.
At the start of the fight, immediately use the machine
gun attack to stop Denkou from running away. Combo him and
make sure you end it with the machine gun. Repeat until you
defeat Denkou. You can defeat him in less than 20 seconds.
You'll get Denkou for the Omega Factor. Upgrade any of
Astro's ability and proceed to the next battle.
Stage 7-3 Armored Robot: Brontus
---------
Character: Brontus
Your next opponent will be the armored robot, Brontus.
Brontus has three forms of attack. He either bounces around
the stage, transform into a spiked ball, or fire two to three big
projectiles from his chest. Just like what his name implies,
Brontus boasts his defense. He is only vulnerable when he
shows his weak point, his core found on his chest.
Basically, you need to evade his attacks and wait until
he shows his weak point. When the core appears, attack with
machine gun to stun Brontus. Use a combo attack and end it
with the arm cannon. The length of this battle will really
depend on Brontus.
Anyway, you'll get Brontus for the Omega Factor after
you defeat him. Power-up any of Astro's abilities to proceed
to the next stage.
Stage 7-4 Quantum Robot: Epsilon
---------
Character: Epsilon
You'll fight Epsilon in an environment similar to the
moon stages. Under the water, Astro can jump higher and fall
slower. Epsilon has four attacks and they are:
Dolphins - Epsilon summons dolphins to attack Astro.
You cannot kill the dolphins. Just dash past
them and try to hit Epsilon while the dolphins
are still on the screen. Getting hit by a dolphin
will bring Astro to the other end of the screen.
Urchins - Epsilon summons urchins to attack Atom. You
can destroy the urchins using the finger beam
or any of your EX moves. Or simply dash past them.
Whale - Epsilon summons a whale to attack Astro.
You cannot kill the whale. Just stay at the
bottom of the screen and wait until it
leaves.
Photon Beam - Epsilon uses her photon energy to attack
Astro. She will try to lock-on Astro's current
position. See those cross-hairs at the bottom
of the screen. Anyway, land on the floor and
move a little bit to evade the beam. Take
note that the initial energy discharge can
damage Astro. Do NOT attack Epsilon when she
is attacking with the photon beam. Standing
underneath the beam can take away all your
life points.
The best way to defeat Epsilon is to use the machine gun
at the start of the fight. Go behind her and perform an air
combo. Staying behind or underneath her will make Epsilon go to
the other side of the screen. While she is moving away, you can
hit her with one or two arm cannons. Dash after her and repeat.
When Epsilon waves her hand, she'll perform a summon attack. Dash
away from her immediately.
After defeating Epsilon, she'll be added to the Omega
Factor and Astro gets another power-up.
Stage 7-5 World's Strongest Robot
---------
Character: Pluto, Phoenix
Pluto is the last of the world's strongest robots. He
also happens to be Zoran's friend. Anyway, Astro still needs
to defeat him to save the world.
Pluto has several attacks. His primary attack is the
spinning attack. He is completely invincible during the
attack animation. Getting hit with this attack, Astro will
be knocked back towards the end of the screen. He can also
perform a ramming attack on Astro. His other attacks are:
Missile - This will lock-on Astro's current position.
Avoid these or use your super moves to
destroy them.
Laser - When Pluto charges purple energy on both of
his hands, he's preparing to attack with the
laser beams from his horns. Dash past Pluto
and combo him from behind.
Fire - When Pluto charges red energy on his raised
hand, he's preparing to set the floor in front
of him on fire. Dash past Pluto and combo him
from behind.
As always, use the machine gun to stun Pluto. Make sure
to also use it when Pluto ends his laser/fire attack or when
he lands on the ground. When Pluto performs the spin attack,
Astro will be sucked towards him. Hold the opposite direction
on the d-pad. Anyway, this battle will be longer compared to
the other boss battles. Alternate between the machine gun and
the arm cannon to deal damage.
After the battle, Pluto will be added to the Omega Factor.
Power-up any of Astro's abilities. Shadow cannot that believe
that Astro defeated all of his robots. Anyway, enough with
the disguise. Shadow reveals his true identity and he is
*GASP* Sharaku. He tells Astro that Astro's dream of a world
where humans and robots live together is an impossible one.
The world needs an almighty leader to rule the humans and
robots. Guess who? Our hero refuses to believe what Sharaku
has said. But Sharaku tells him all is lost and points to
the "Death Mask" orbiting the Earth. This satellite destroys
robots and Sharaku will be able rule the world. In short, our
hero failed to save the day.(;_;) BOO!
After the credits, the Phoenix will appear and revives
Astro. The Phoenix gives Astro one more chance to accomplish
his mission. Since Astro already knows what is going to happen,
he should have an advantage over his enemies. Think of the
game you just played as a dream sequence.
We then see a silhouette of a boy and a girl talking near
a spaceport. The girl is sick and she needs to be hospitalized.
Her father is looking for the world's best surgeon, Black Jack,
to perform the operation. The boy promises her that he will be
by her side when she is being operated. The girl tells her that
only robots are allowed inside the operating room. The boy brings
out his robot helmet and tells the girl that he can enter the
room wearing his costume. Anyway, the boy invites her to go to
the moon when she gets well. The girl's name is Prime Rose, the
boy is Daichi. DAICHI?! *points at the walkthrough for stage 3*
It's time to start the 'Rebirth' play. The stage select
will now be available. You need to replay the game to see the
other characters and the true ending. Don't worry, Astro keeps
his power-ups during the 'Rebirth'.
Prologue - Rebirth
------------------
Character: Dr. O'Shay
In case you have skipped this part during the first run of
the game, please select stage 0-1 at the stage select screen. Do
not press START. Doctor O'Shay will give Astro(that's you)
some basic instructions. He'll teach you about movement and the
attacks. I repeat, do NOT press START during this "review".
After the training, walk over to Dr. O'Shay and Astro will
ask him about Doctor Tenma. Dr. O'Shay will be surprised about
this since Astro has just awakened. (Told you the events will be
different.) He has no choice but to tell Astro what he knows. Tenma
was the former head of the Ministry of Science -- the agency he is
now heading. Dr. Tenma's only son, Tobio, died in an accident.
Using the resources of the ministry, he made a super robot in the
likeness of his son. But the robot was not able to grow and be like
his son. Dr. Tenma abandoned "Tobio" and Dr. O'Shay found him
and named him Astro.
Dr. O'Shay tells Astro that Tenma's old house is found in
Metro City's suburb area. Hopefully, Astro can get new information
that will help him. Stage 0-5 will now be placed in the Stage Select
screen. Wato, Dr. O'Shay's assistant, will be carried away by a group
of robots.
Chapter 1 - Rebirth
-------------------
Stage 1-1 Metro City
---------
The stage starts with Astro in Metro City. Upon landing,
Astro will see the bad guys leave the screen with Wato. Take
note that these bad guys are the generic enemy fodder.
This is a straightforward stage. To advance, you need to
defeat the wave of enemies that will appear in the screen. At
the first screen, you can break the glass at the background
to get additional points. After defeating the first set of
enemies, walk towards the right and meet a new character.
He is Drake and he is a member of the World Federation. Drake
is known for his antirobot stand. He will be placed in the
Omega Factor but you still need to do some important events
later in the game to get his face colored.
At the end of the stage, Atom can collect a heart that
will recover lost life points.
Stage 1-2 World Federal Building
---------
At the first screen, you need to destroy the traffic
robot. This will stop the vehicles from appearing and will now
let you advance in the stage. Destroy the upper-right glass of
the building in case you still have not met Alejo. At the end
of the stage, a heart should drop from the sky.
Stage 1-3 Warehouse Battle
---------
Use the same strategy you used from your first play. You
do not have to defeat all the enemies in this stage. To finish
the stage, you just need to go to the upper-right part of the
warehouse.
Stage 1-4 Spider Robot
---------
The enemies and their attack patterns remain the same.
The stage starts off with small spiders followed by the big
spider robot. To defeat them, just perform air combos. Use
the arm cannon to finish the big spider robot faster.
After defeating the boss, walk towards the right and
meet Wato. Wato will mention her Uncle Boon. Boon is an
archeologist who is excavating ruins of the Mu civilization.
His current site is in the Pacific Ocean region. Stage 0-4
will now be added to the Stage Select screen. Astro needs to
go to Cruciform Island but he must defeat the Magnamite first.
Stage 1-5 Magnamite
---------
The Magnamite and its attack patterns remain the same.
Use the same strategy you used to defeat it during your first
play.
After defeating the boss, Astro gets to meet the robot
responsible for all these. Before he even gets a chance to
introduce himself, Astro calls him by his name and tells Atlas
to stop. This surprises Atlas and he finds it amusing to meet
another strong robot. Atlas escapes and tells Astro that they
will meet again. We then get a view of Metro City with a man
who was watching Astro. He is glad that Astro exceeded his
expectations. In case you still can't figure it out, the man
above Metro City is Dr. Tenma.
Chapter 2 - Rebirth
-------------------
Stage 2-1 X Point, Pacific Ocean
---------
The stage starts with Drake giving a speech regarding the
incident from chapter one. He tells everyone that the robots
are dangerous, using the Magnamite as an example. He asks the
people to support his plan of banishing all the robots from
the Earth. But Duke Red doesn't approve this and explains that
the rampaging robots issue was just an accident. Drake rebukes
Duke Red and asks him to resign since he is not qualified
anymore to be the chairman of the World Federation.
Back at Doctor O'Shay's house, Inspector Tawashi is
looking for Astro. Before he even mentions his investigation,
Astro volunteers to go to the Pacific Ocean to help. Inspector
Tawashi is highly impressed with Astro's ability.
This is still a shooting stage. Doctor O'Shay has
removed Astro's jet limiter so he can fly over the Pacific
Ocean. Defeat the bad guys with the finger beam and arm
cannon.
Stage 2-2 Artificial Sun
---------
The boss and its attack pattern remains the same. Use
the same strategy you used during the first game to defeat
the sun.
In order to avoid repeating information and to save
space, ALL the enemies you have met during the first play
retain their attack pattern during your replay games. The
strategy you used to defeat them should still work.
After the battle, the artificial sun will try to escape
towards an island.
Stage 2-3 Cruciform Island
---------
Upon landing, Astro will meet Pook and the Amazing Three.
Go kick the arses of the Amazing Three and enter the ruins.
If you have already met Big X, you can already proceed deep
in the ruins. Fighting Big X is optional but, hey, it's one way
of increasing your score.
Destroy the stone face behind Wally. This will open
the passage previously blocked. Return to the passage and then
go down.
Stage 2-4 Dreadful Robots V3
---------
Beat all the V3 robots to finish the stage. Get the heart
at the end of the stage to recover life points.
Stage 2-5 The Elevator
---------
Beat all the giant bees, bats, and mini-V3s to finish the
stage. In case you still haven't seen Magma, now is the time to
do so.
Stage 2-6 Transformable Robot "Pook"
---------
Defeat Pook in this boss battle.
Chapter 3 - Rebirth
-------------------
Stage 3-1 Tokugawa Plant on the Moon
---------
Character: Nuka
Drake is now proclaimed chairman and promises to correct
the injustice done to humans during Duke Red's term. He plans
of passing the Robot Regulation Law. All robots that violate
this will be destroyed. Nuka visits Astro and she asks Astro to
promise that he'll never forget her. She leaves for Duke Red's
hideout after the event. Nuka is now officially added to the
Omega Factor. Power-up any of Astro's abilities to proceed.
Stage 3-1 is still same. In case you still haven't seen
Jetter Mars, now is the best time to do so. Anyway, defeat all
enemies to proceed to the next stage. Get the heart at the end
of the stage in case you have lost some life points.
Stage 3-2 Goblin Roboid
---------
Defeat all the goblin-type robots. An interesting glitch
(thanks to c0rps3) prevents the big Roboid from attacking Astro.
Before facing the big Roboid, fly over it and reach the right
side of the screen. Make sure you go OVER and not simply jet
pass it. To successfully perform this, you need to upgrade
Astro's jet stat or use the EX Dash. Do not go in front of the
Roboid or else it will attack.
Stage 3-3 Power Plant Reactor
---------
Reach the upper portion of the reactor. If you still have
not seen Fumoon, now is the best time to do so.
Stage 3-4 Observation Deck
---------
Defeat all enemies to proceed to the next stage. In case
you have missed Hecate, she is standing on the upper-left part
of this area. If you have already seen her, a heart will be
placed in that area.
Stage 3-5 Astro vs Atlas
---------
Character: Atlas
The stage starts off with Astro telling Atlas to stop it.
Crap, Astro even knows Daichi is Atlas. Enough with the long
talk and the battle starts. Defeat Atlas the same way you did
during the first play.
After the battle, the hibernating capsule will fall from
the ceiling and Atlas will go into his fit again. Astro gets to
meet Dr. Tenma for the first time. Astro calls him "father" but
Dr. Tenma is displeased with the way he is acting and leaves.
Before the stage ends, you will get Atlas for the Omega Factor.
Power-up any of Astro's abilities.
Chapter 4 - Rebirth
-------------------
Stage 4-1 Antarctic President
---------
Character: Abercrombie
The Robot Opposition faction has won the election in the
Antarctic region. Rag, a robot who was also running for the
presidency, was involved in an "accident". Rag's body was not
found. Anyway, Astro was invited to attend the inauguration
ceremony of the new president. The new president turned out
to be none other than Rock and Drake is supporting him.
President Rock is obviously not impressed with Astro. And
all of a sudden, some rampaging robots attack. This sounds
fishy. It turns out that the robots are not happy on what
happened to Rag. Help the bad guys...Err, I mean destroy all
enemy robots to finish the stage. At the end of the stage,
rescue the human boy from the robots. His name is Abercrombie
and he will be added to the Omega Factor.
Stage 4-2 Above the Antarctic Ocean
---------
The stage starts off with Astro following the leader of
the robots. Anyway, defeat the enemies to proceed to the next
stage. Use the arm cannon to defeat the giant robot faster.
Stage 4-3 Follow Carabs!
---------
The leader introduces himself as Blue Knight. He is the
self-proclaimed avenger of the robots. He plans of building
"Robotania", a country in the Antarctic just for the robots.
The Blue Knight believes everything would be different if
Rag became the president. But Astro tells him that Rag will
not agree with Blue Knight. Rag believes that it is possible
for humans and robots to live together. With this statement,
Blue Knight decided to rethink his plans. Isn't it OBVIOUS
that Blue Knight is...*gets strangled by his brother*
Anyway, Blue Knight mentions about the warship called
Carabs. Defeat the enemies to finish this stage.
Stage 4-4 Robot Tank Carabs
---------
Defeat the Carabs. After the battle, President Rock
goes on this robot-hate speech. But Wally interrupts him
and tells Rock that he is the one responsible for the death
of Rag. Wally shows everyone a mask as a proof. The mask
was found inside Rock's house. During the campaign period, a
man known as Deadcross, with the aid of some robots, was
harassing the people to give him money. The money was used to
remodel the Marine Express and smuggle weapons like the Roboid.
(Yeah, I know. The evidence is weak.)
With the evidence against him, Rock wears his costume
and escapes.
Chapter 5 - Rebirth
-------------------
Stage 5-1 Deadcross Escapes
---------
Defeat all the Black Looks to finish the stage.
Stage 5-2 Marine Express, Antarctic Station
---------
Defeat all the Black Looks to finish the stage. If you
still haven't seen Kennedy, destroy the garbage can found at
the left of the stage.
Stage 5-3 Marine Express, Ruins
---------
Defeat the Marine Express.
Stage 5-4 Marine Express, Inside
---------
Defeat Deadcross and the Roboid. After the battle, the
Marine Express gets warped into another time period thanks to
Sharaku.
Chapter 6 - Rebirth
-------------------
Stage 6-1 Sapphire's Castle
---------
Astro and company arrives at the Mu Empire and Sharaku
"welcomes" them. Pook saves them and brings them to Sapphire.
Upon meeting Sapphire, Astro informs her that they need to beat
Sharaku and his troops.
Defeat all the enemies to proceed to the next stage.
Stage 6-2 Legendary Mu Civilization
---------
Defeat all the enemies to proceed to the next stage.
Stage 6-3 Great Pyramid
---------
Reach the top of the pyramid. In case you have lost some
life points, go visit the heart-dropping monster.
Stage 6-4 Ancient Prince Sharaku
---------
Character: Sapphire
Defeat Sharaku. After the battle, Sharaku promises Astro
that they will meet again in the future. Preparations for
the time travel took three months to complete. Rock decided
to stay with Sapphire and help her find a solution for Mu's
problem. Sapphire will be added to the Omega Factor and you'll
get another power-up.
Chapter 7 - Rebirth
-------------------
Stage 7-1 Versatile Robot: North
---------
Character: Inspector Tawashi
Upon returning to the present, things have gotten so
different. It seems that three months had already passed since
Astro and Wally disappeared. YAY! The time difference is
the same with their stay at the past Mu Empire. During the
first game, they were five years late.
A huge robot will introduce himself as Pluto, one of
BLUE KNIGHT's followers. Blue Knight tells Astro that during
the past three months, Drake has oppressed the robot population.
Robots including Zoran, Astro's sister, had taken refuge in the
Antarctic region. Within 24 hours, the robots will start an
attack against the humans. Astro mentions the Death Mask and
this surprised Blue Knight. He accuses Astro as a spy for the
humans. Anyway, Astro needs to fight the strongest robots in
the world. You'll fight North first.
After defeating North, Astro will rescue Inspector
Tawashi from the cage. He'll tell Astro that Blue Knight got
the info regarding the Death Mask from Kinsankaku. Inspector
Tawashi will be added to the Omega Factor. Power-up any of
Astro's abilities.
Stage 7-2 Invisible Robot: Denkou
---------
Character: Skunk Kusai
Defeat Denkou. After defeating Denkou, Astro will rescue
Skunk from the cage. He'll tell Astro that the object he and
Kinsankaku found in Cruciform Island is Pook - the secret of
the Mu. Skunk will be added to the Omega Factor and you'll get
another power-up.
