Briefing[]
This mission assignment comes directly from the Concord Corporation. A
special event is being held in the arena and we are extending an offer
for you to participate.
Your opponent is the Raven known as Zaltehook. This is the same Raven
that lost the last time you both confronted each other.
He has expressed a strong desire to fight you once more and the arena
fans are also looking forward to the rematch. Good luck.
Enemies[]
- Zaltehook
- 6 Gun batteries
Dialogue[]
Announcement: "Welcome to the Arena. This battle is a rematch between two deadly opponents. A handicap will be given to the loser of their last encounter. Enjoy the fight."
Zaltehook: "I could care less about my reputation. As long as I defeat you, that will be enough."
Zaltehook: "Why..."
Walkthrough[]
This is again, another one-on-one AC fight, but this time the rules have changed a bit. In this one, there will be turrets on the ceiling that will fire at you (despite the announcer saying that the handicap is given to the loser, which was clearly the enemy AC and not you) and the Raven you fight is the same guy but with a different, modified AC. Another thing is that the AC has Human PLUS, which means he is going to be annoyingly fly-happy.
In comparison to the earlier mission-match where you fight him, Zaltehook a tad bit tougher but far from unbeatable. It's recommended to take out the turrets on the ceiling first as they will continually peck away at you while you're fighting the other guy. Once they're out of the way, you can now focus solely on the Raven. This guy now uses a ground torpedo weapon with a laser rifle which he will use to strip away at your AP methodically. He also tends to be airborne while doing so, so aiming your lockbox up while fighting him is the way to go. A torpedo salvo is heavily damaging but slow, so you may either employ an AMS defence of any kind or just attempt to dodge it manually. Since he's still using the same AC frame from before, you can use the same weapons you used on Zaltehook in the earlier fight, only this time you have to be a bit more careful when firing your shots as he has the tendency of overboosting mid-air to avoid your shots. You can also make use of the platform for the second level as cover. Zaltehook also has a tendency to stop nearby on an occasion if you keep close to him, so try to punish him when he gives you the opportunity.
Trivia[]
- The AC that Zaltehook pilots is an improved version of his first one. He has Human PLUS abilities in this battle which he didn't have in the first battle against him.
- There is a handicap for you as the gun batteries will only attack you, despite the announcement stating otherwise.
- Once again, this Arena match is treated like any other mission, so mind your repair and ammo expenditures.
