screen from Shion's quarters. Where the guy was hiding
whose girlfriend got killed because he was a wuss.
Decoder Location: U-TIC BS - In the corridor up and across from the first
save point in the area. It's in the room behind the
third door, after the one where you first encountered the
soldier who wouldn't tell you about the "Card No. 3".
Use the U-TIC Card to unlock the door and grab the
decoder.

up the next ladder. At the top, cross to the right all
the way and grab a Skill Upgrade S from the blue container.
Go a little back to the left before crossing the bridge

[91] XIV. Mini-Games
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- [92] Tag Game -------------------------------------------------------------
A game on-board the Woglinde to get you ready for the real thing when the
Gnosis attack later.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- [93] Xeno Card ------------------------------------------------------------
A cool but far too complicated game for me. After about 50 pages of rules
and instructions I was done. Just open you packs/boosters and check out the
cards. Play at your own risk.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- [94] Drill Game -----------------------------------------------------------
A completely frustrating and horrible Mini-Game.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- [95] Casino ---------------------------------------------------------------
To get to the casino, head to the Durandal - Residential District. At the top
right area of that district you will find a room with a sort of mini-casino
inside. There is also a save point in there. Go up the stairs on the right
side of the room to where there is a game table. Talk to one of the people
standing next to the table and you will receive the Casino Passport.
In order to use the Casino Passport, you will have to find an E.V.S. point.
It is basically a save point with a large blue E.V.S. sign over the yellow
save crystal. As luck would have it, the save crystal inside the room you
are already in has one. If it does not have a blue E.V.S. sign on top of it,
then you are not far enough into the game yet. You will have to wait.
Now, go and stand inside the save/E.V.S. crystal and go into the main menu.
Find the Casino Passport in your items list and use it. This will take you
to the Casino mini-game.
Now, you will have three options. Play Poker, play the Slots, or redeem your
coins.
As far as the slots go, I never touched them. But I have heard that once
you learn how to play them, they are suprisingly simple and the best way to
get cash in the game. I've heard that playing the slots can win you a
million or more coins in just one round of playing. How does that give you
cash you ask? Well, if you max out the number of coins you have 9,999,999
then every coin you get after that gives you 8 gold instead. So if you
hit it big at the slots you could potentially get millions in cash in just
a few seconds. This is much better than buying a bunch of Med Kit's with
coins and then selling them. Now, if only there were a faster way to get
up to 9,999,999 coins. Hmm...I would check out a Slot FAQ for that kind
of information. Instead I will be focusing on the Poker game and getting
200,000 coins (enough to clean out the items in the casino) in under
a half an hour.
Now, let's play some Poker.
Purchase 1000 coins and get ready to go at it. Start on the lowest level
first until you get a feel for the game.
The deck is not a standard card deck. The difference is that an ACE is
ALWAYS a 1 and never 11. The KING is ALWAYS the highest card.
Here is my basic strategy. If you get a pair (match) then draw all the other
cards. If you don't get at least one pair, redraw ALL the cards.
Occasionally you will get something close to a straight or flush so you may
want to play with that, but mostly, just stick to one pair. Many times you
will end up landing one pair, two pairs, or three of a kind. That's all you
need. The key to owning this game is the HI-LOW that comes after. See, you
should almost always make it to the HI-LOW game with every hand this way.
HI-LOw is where the real money is made. It basically some down to this, the
computer sets down a card. If you think the next card that will be draw will
be higher than the one showing, you pick HI. If you think it will be lower,
you pick...*gasp*...LOW. You can also cash out at that point as well. Keep
in mind that your bet will be subtracted from you winnings. So if you were
playing the highest level of 100 coin bets and you won 200 coins, you would
only actually get 100 coins if you cashed out.
Once you get a handle on the game, go straight for the 100 coin bets. You
WILL lose a lot of cash, but you will WIN more! I almost always played it
through to the end of HI-LOW sometimes losing 1000 coins of my winnings. Now
you might think I'm stupid and I should have cashed out, but trust me, I did
just fine. The only time I would cash out was if the card that came up was
a 7 and I had already accrued a good amount of coins.
You see, I didn't mind losing 500 coins because I guessed HI on a 6, it was
when I lost because I guessed HI on a 2 and an ACE dropped in. That sucks.
Using my method I racked up over 150,000 coins in under 30 minutes. Of
course it helped that I totally owned a Straght and a Full House at x16 on
a 100 coin bet. Oh yeah, play the big risks baby!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- [96] A.G.W.S. Game --------------------------------------------------------
Good for 2 players, worthless for 1 player. Plus you get nothing for
winning.

[97] XV. Glitches
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Shuttle to Kukai from the Durandal Docks
When getting on the shuttle at the Docks on the Durandul, the one that takes
you to Kukai, the ship won't activate at first. Upon clicking all around
inside the ship and to the left, the ship finally started to spin and then
stopped after it spun counter-clockwise about 45 degrees. Then the question
popped up about wanting to take the ship to Kukai. I said "No" and tried
leaving the ship. I could walk right through the wall of the ship and down
an invisible staircase where the staircase used to be. I then climbed back
up the stairs and said "Yes" to the question, and the ship took off like it
normally does, except the ship was still rotated 45 degrees.
I've heard of a few other strange glitches, but they never happened to me,
so I won't add them here.

sinistermarks@hotmail.com sent me this:
yup i found a very frustrating glitch just the other day in xenosaga.
this is how it goes... i got the u-tic key card which opens the locked door
leading to a decoder.. i believe.. i never actually got inside the room.
originally i had gotten the key card and never went into the room figuring
when i went back to it using EVS i could easily open the door.. but little
did i know upon activating the lock it asks.. "would you like to use the
u-tic key card".. or something along those lines and there is no yes or no
bubble to answer the question.. the game just freezes and i have attempted
it multiple times to no avail!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
crucible@collective.sh sent me this:
I forgot to get Decoder 16 from the U-TIC Battleship while I was there
with Jr. When I attempt to go back to get it using the EVS, I cannot
insert the U-TIC card in the slot. I approach the slot, hit circle, the
prompt comes up "Use the U-TIC card?" but I never get the "Yes/No".
Seems that the game locks up.
