Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Xenosaga: Episode 1 - Strategy Guide (Page 09).
The same exact pendant appears in Xenosaga.
----
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Eldridge ------------------------------------------------------------------
The Eldridge is a inter-planetary space vessel that is transporting Deus
during the opening sequence of Xenogears. The significance of this
vessel is that it's bridge and pilots/navigators look almost identical
to the bridge of the Woglinde/Durandal and it's Realian pilots/
navigators.
----
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Gears ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Gears in Xenogears are large mech-like machines that are pilotable by humans.
They draw their power from the Zohar.
Xenosaga has mech's similar to the Gears, called A.G.W.S.'s (Anti-Gnosis
Weapon Systems), though they are much more primitive and smaller in size.
This makes sense since Xenosaga takes place thousands of years before
Xenogears.
----
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Dora ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dora is the name of Vanderkaum's enormous gear he uses in Xenogears.
Proto Dora is the name of an enormous A.G.W.S. in Xenosaga.

-------------------------------------
-------------------- [83] Foundation Robot Academy -----------------------
-------------------------------------
This is sort of a secret, but one that's easy to be aware of, but not so
easy to complete. The Foundation Robot Academy is located at the A.G.W.S.
Parts Shop & Foundation Robot Academy on the Kukai world map. Once you get
there head to the lower level to talk with a man called Professor. He tells
you that he is searching for the parts to build an invincible robot. Wow.
So you basically need to find all six parts of the robot and bring them to
him. This is what you will get for returning the parts.
Right & Left Arms - Throni Blade (Summon)
Right & Left Legs - Dominion Tank (Summon)
Body - Kelbim Dragon (Nothing, cannot be used)
Head - Seraphim Bird (Summon)
ALL (Completed) - Erde Kaiser (Ultimate Summon)
You must find the Professor's Assistant Scott in the
Ironman bar/club before you can get it though.
Song Lyrics - Show up when you view the parts you have collected at the
center console in the lab after getting Erde Kaiser.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------
-------------------- [84] MOMO's Transformation --------------------------
-------------------------------------
IMPORTANT:
To get this transformation, you must have MOMO in your party AND have her as
your LEAD character (the girl walking around on the screen). In case you
don't know how to do this, go into the menu, select the Characters Item from
it, place the cursor on MOMO and hit the "Square" button.
Head to Gnosis - Cathedral Ship via the course of the story or through an EVS
point.
Follow the path along until you come to an open area with a staircase leading
up to the top of a building. On top of the building there will be a couple
of indestructible boxes. There should be a little sparkling light on one
of the boxes. Go up to it and touch it. You will get the Tech Attack
Magic Caster and the Ether Star Wind. Star Wind is what transforms MOMO when
used in battle. Magic Caster can only be used while she is transformed and
it allows you to steal rare items from enemies by casting (fishing pole style)
onto an enemy and retrieving it.
Her transformation isn't that much really, she just changes into a blue outfit
and has access to some other magic.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------
---------------------------- [85] ACE PILOT ------------------------------
-------------------------------------
IMPORTANT:
To get this encounter, you must have access to the U-TIC BS via the E.V.S.
Head to the U-TIC BS in the EVS simulator. Make your way along past the area
where there were the two red laser barriers the first time you came through.
Go all the way to the right and then go down. Take the door on your right and
then go down again and then through the door to your right again until you
reach the corridor where you had to destroy the generators on the walls to
disable the door alarms. There should be three doors in this hallway. The
first one leads you to the room where the U-TIC soldier wouldn't talk to you
and tell you where the key was earlier. The third one is the one you had to
use the key on to get the treasure inside, and the second one is where you
need to go to get the Ace Pilot encounter. Enter the second room and walk
up to the soldier standing inside. *Note: You can repeat this battle as
many times as you want by simply leaving the room and returning.
-- (Optional) Boss Battle --
Name: Ace Pilot
HP: 360
Weak: None
EXP: 30
TP: 10
EP: 4
SP: 16
Rare: Ether Upgrade A
Item: Skill Upgrade A
Type: Biological
Cash: 50
Strategy:
This is just a token battle. You might want to use this battle to
prepare for the next stage. For example, you might want to boost your
characters speed, get into an A.G.W.S., etc... before killing him. It
should only take one hit to kill this guy so make sure you steal from him
if you want the items, before you kill him. After he dies he will change
into one of two things. If you have two characters in A.G.W.S.'s at this
point, he will get into his Meld Gareth A.G.W.S. If not, he will get
into his Din Gareth A.G.W.S.
------------------
-- [86] MELD GARETH --
------------------
IMPORTANT:
To get this encounter, you must have access to the U-TIC BS via the E.V.S and
have two characters with access to A.G.W.S.'s. Take a look at the information
above about the Ace Pilot to find out how to find Meld Gareth. Once you have
found the Ace Pilot, you need to have two characters in their A.G.W.S.'s
before killing the Ace Pilot in order to get this encounter.
-- (Optional) Boss Battle --
Name: Meld Gareth
HP: 5500
Weak: None
EXP: 4000
TP: 60
EP: 20
SP: 60
Rare: B-Max Circuit
Item: Frame Repair Z
Type: Mechanical
Cash: 1000
Strategy:
This A.G.W.S. has an all party attack that does some good damage, but
not enough to kill you with one hit. So just leave one of your characters
outside their A.G.W.S. to heal and throw out frame repairs as needed. Try
to use someone with decent attack power as well because they can really take
Meld Gareth down quickly. Ziggurat is a good choice if you have boosted his
EATK stat. Ziggurat takes a lot less damage but can still heal himself.
Having a pair of speed shoes or the skill set on Ziggurat can be helpful, as
well as his 50% speed up. Combine the two for a super quick Ziggurat that get
two to three turns per round and does killer damage with HP Strong or Golden
Dice equipped. Just keep attacking and he'll go down.
-----------------
-- [87] DIN GARETH --
-----------------
IMPORTANT:
To get this encounter, you must have access to the U-TIC BS via the E.V.S.
Take a look at the information above about the Ace Pilot to find out how to
find Din Gareth. Once you have found the Ace Pilot, just kill him outside
of your A.G.W.S.'s to get this encounter.
-- (Optional) Boss Battle --
Name: Din Gareth
HP: 8500
Weak: None
EXP: 8000
TP: 80
EP: 20
SP: 80
Rare: Fast Circuit 25
Item: Frame Repair Z
Type: Mechanical
Cash: 1000
Strategy:
Don't use A.G.W.S.'s for this battle. Din Gareth is extremely simple.
All of his attacks only damage one person so just revive that person when they
go down. His 71 Series Rail Cannon does about 700-1200 damage per person.
Use physical attacks to inflict huge amounts of damage. Ziggurat's
Cyber Kick, Jr.'s Storm Waltz, and chaos' Heaven's Wrath all work extremely
well against him. Don't bother healing your people. Just let them die and
revive them immediately. That way you can even take advantage of HP Strong if
you have it and not waste turns healing a character when he will probably still
die after one hit. Simple.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------
---------------------------- [88] GREAT JOE ------------------------------
-------------------------------------
IMPORTANT:
To find Great Joe, you must have Jr. in your party AND have him as your LEAD
character (the guy walking around on the screen). In case you don't know
how to do this, go into the menu, select the Characters Item from it, place
the cursor on Jr. and hit the "Square" button.
Head to Durandal - Residential District - Casino. Now, from the Casino,
leave the Casino and head to the left until you reach the next corridor and
go all the way up until it dead ends with a fork leading left and right.
Take a right and go inside the room. There should be a grey item crystal
and a chest in the room.
Once inside the room, blast the right wall/panel on the top left side of the
room to trigger the battle. Choose "Bring it on!" to his question to fight
him. Beware, he is quite powerful. I would recommend fighting him AFTER
the Encephalon - Miltia area. After Miltia and after you have control
over Jr. again, you should be strong enough to take Great Joe down.
-- (Optional) Boss Battle --
Name: Great Joe
HP: 9999
Weak: None
EXP: 18000
TP: 200
EP: 180
SP: 200
Rare: None
Item: Swimsuit (Plus some extras, see below)
Type: Gnosis
Cash: 200
Strategy:
Your characters should be around level 24 for a safe bet on winning.
Recommended Party: Jr. - Must use him
Shion - For healing
Your third character can be anybody but I recommend
either chaos or Ziggy.
Recommended Equipment/Skills:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Equipment Skill Description
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brave Soul HP Strong Increases PHYSICAL damage as HP goes down
(Similar to the Power Crisis in Xenogears)
You can obtain this item by redeeming coins in
the Casino.
Golden Dice Damage fluctuates by HP
You can obtain this item by redeeming coins in
the Casino.
Angel Ring N/A Halves EP usage. You will find this item.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Make sure you extract and set the Brave Soul/Golden Dice/Angel Ring skill on
all three characters. This will help more than you can imagine. If you
cannot extract the skills regardless of how many Skill Points you have, it's
because yo need to raise your Skill Level up. To do that, you must extract
tons of skills from all kinds of accessories. The more things you extract,
the more your Skill Level will go up.
I also recommend having Ether spells that increase your SPEED during
battles as they are extremely helpful. Ziggy has one he can use on
himself that increases his speed 50%.
Try to boost Shion's Ether Attack as much as possible with Skill Points and
her healing spells will work much better.
To defeat Great Joe, use Ether spells to increase your speed. Use Shion
to heal and revive anytime it is needed.
With Jr. at low HP he can deal out over 1000 damage per round.
When Great Joe does his 50% chance heal/damage reversal spell, from that
point on, either healing potions/spells, or attacks will damage him.
For example, if he chooses Reverse, then healing spells will damage him
and attacks will heal him. If he chooses Normal, then it is the way it
usually is. Healing would heal and damage would damage.
Just keep healing/reviving with Shion, and blasting the other two
characters. He should go down easily using this strategy.
When you defeat Great Joe you get the following:
Swimsuit - +1 Armor, 25% increase to Tech Points received after battles.
Your character will also appear in his/her swimsuit.
Anyone who was at the beach scene earlier can equip it.
Magnum Joe - A summon for Jr.
Soul Rhapsody - Tech for Jr. Absorbs G Types.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------
----------------------------- [89] MINTIA --------------------------------
-------------------------------------
IMPORTANT:
To find Mintia, you must have MOMO in your party AND have her as your LEAD
character. (the girl walking around on the screen). In case you don't know
how to do this, go into the menu, select the Characters Item from it, place
the cursor on MOMO and hit the "Square" button.
Head to Kukai Foundation - Sector 26 & 27 - Ironman bar/club. Right outside
the bar is a lever. Turn it to expand the awning above the entrance. Then
go to the left and inside the Our Treasures hotel.
*NOTE: You can only do this during or after the Kukai Invasion by the
Gnosis.
Go upstairs in the hotel and take a left through the door into a room. Go
down and outside through the next door and take the catwalk all the way to
to right until you get stopped by some plants. Shoot them and fall off
onto the awning below. Push up and right until you enter the window at the
far right. Once inside this upper level room of the Ironman bar walk
forward and you will get the encounter. Choose "Yes" to "Will you fight?".
-- (Optional) Boss Battle --
Name: Mintia
HP: 7777
Weak: None
EXP: 22000
TP: 160
EP: 240
SP: 200
Rare: Craft Apron (Skill points earned, up 25%)
Item: Penguin Rod (Weak rod for MOMO)
Type: Gnosis
Cash: 12000
Strategy:
Recommended Party: MOMO - Must use her
Jr. - For FAR attacks
Your third character can be anybody but I recommend
either chaos or Ziggy.
Recommended Equipment/Skills:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Equipment Skill Description
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shield Armor All Guard Prevents ALL status effects/abnormalities
Brave Soul HP Strong Increases PHYSICAL damage as HP goes down
Angel Ring N/A Halves EP usage
Having men in this battle does make it slightly more difficult, but I say,
eh, too bad, I like my guys. Every once in a whil shee will shout out
"I hate men!" when she is attacked by one and throw out some damage, but she
should still be pretty easy.
Make sure you STEAL the two items from here before you kill her!
Having All Guard is helpful in this battle, but Brave Soul/HP Strong is the
real bread winner here. Mintia will call on her "pet" frequently and use
and attack the takes one character down to 1 HP. Oh yeah, damage
extraordinaire with HP Strong set. Jr. will be doing over 1000 damage each
time you use his Storm Waltz.
Now, I know leaving your characters at low health is scary, but don't worry,
most of her attacks are one person at a time so you can quickly revive them.
She does have an all party attack that can wipe you out so it's a good idea
to keep MOMO and your third character at 300-400 health. Leave Jr. at 1 HP.
Remember, if your character has 900 HP and the "pet" takes it, it adds that
amount back to Mintia, so you keep healing her. Don't do this, keep them at
low health. You may even have to use items because my people heal revive
with around 500 HP since I maxed out their Ether Attack Stat.
Something I think is very important in this battle and many to come is the
ability to heal/revive each other, instead of relying on one person with
these abilities. So I recommend transferring Shion's healing spells to all
your characters. The spells you will need the most are Revive & Medica All.
Also, transferring Jr.'s steal spell can also be helpful when looting tough
bosses.
Just keep this strategy going and she will go down easily.
When you defeat Mintia you get Dark Scepter - A tech attack for MOMO.
After the battle Mintia mentions something about fighting her again, next
time with her #1 pet. Hmmm...
