Mobile Suit Z-Gundam Walkthrough

 In Story Mode, you play through a series of Stages which follow the storyline of either Kamille Bidan or Quattro Bajeena (aka Char  Aznable).  At the start of each battle, you will be given the choice of a Weapon Pack (Note: most battles only have one available Weapon Pack to choose from).  Weapon Pack A is Beam Rifle or Beam Pistol,  Weapon Pack B is Bazooka (Normal Type), and Weapon Pack C is  Bazooka (Sandan Type).


  ------------------------------------------------------


  Kamille's Story
    This story follows Kamille Bidan's epic battles from the tv series
    Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam.  It consists of 14 different stages and
    is accessible only on Disc 1.

    <Stage 1>
Kamille Pilots: RX-178 Gundam Mark II

Enemies: 1 x RMS-099 Rick Dias (Battle #1)

Total Battles: 1

Weapon Pack Choice: Battle #1: A (Beam Rifle)

Objective: Battle #1: Destroy RX-178 Gundam Mark II

Remarks: A simple practice stage to get you acquainted with
   Story Mode.  Unless you just stand in one spot, you
   can't lose.

    <Stage 2>
Kamille Pilots: RX-178 Gundam Mark II

Enemies: 1 x RMS-117 Galbaldy Beta (Battle #1)
 
Total Battles: 1

Weapon Pack Choice: Battle #1: A (Beam Rifle)
 B (Bazooka - Normal)
 
Objective: Battle #1: Destroy RMS-117 Galbaldy Beta

Remarks: Not much of a threat at all.  Keep an adequate
   distance between you and RMS-117 Galbadly Beta
   because it tends to use its Missile Launcher when you
   get close to it.

    <Stage 3>
Kamille Pilots: RX-178 Gundam Mark II

Enemies: 1 x RMS-117 Galbaldy Beta (Battle #1)
   1 x RMS-108 Marasai (Battle #2)

Total Battles: 2

Weapon Pack Choice: Battle #1: A (Beam Rifle)
  Battle #2: A (Beam Rifle)
 B (Bazooka - Normal)
 C (Bazooka - Sandan)

Objective: Battle #1: Destroy RMS-117 Galbaldy Beta
     Battle #2: Destroy RMS-108 Marasai

Remarks: For the first battle against RMS-117 Galbaldy Beta, use
   the same strategy as you did for Stage 2.

   The second battle against RMS-108 Marasai is a little
   harder than the first battle.  Make good use of the
   (L1) and (L2) buttons (as well as your Vernier) to
   avoid it's long range attacks (since its Machine Gun
   fires three to six shots at a time).

    <Stage 4>
Kamille Pilots: RX-178 Gundam Mark II

Enemies: 1 x PMX-000 Messala (Battle #1)
   1 x RMS-108 Marasai (Battle #2)
   1 x RMS-108 Marasai (Battle #3)
   ? x MS-07H Gouf Flight Test Type (Battle #4)
   1 x RMS-108 Marasai (Battle #5)
   1 x NRX-044 Asshimar (Battle #6)
   1 x RMS-106 Hizack (Battle #7)

Total Battles: 7

Weapon Pack Choice: Battle #1: A (Beam Rifle)
  Battle #2: A (Beam Rifle)
  Battle #3: A (Beam Rifle)
  Battle #4: A (Beam Rifle)
  Battle #5: A (Beam Rifle)
  Battle #6: A (Beam Rifle)
  Battle #7: A (Beam Rifle)

Objective: Battle #1: Destroy PMX-000 Messala
     Battle #2: Destroy RMS-108 Marasai
     Battle #3: Destroy RMS-108 Marasai
     Battle #4: Survive for 2 minutes against multiple
    MS-07H Gouf Flight Test Types (Note: you
    fight only one MS-07H Gouf Flight Test
    Type at a time)
     Battle #5: Destroy RMS-108 Marasai
     Battle #6: Destroy NRX-044 Asshimar
     Battle #7: Destroy RMS-106 Hizack within 1 minute

Remarks: In Battles #1, #2, and #3 you will be lying down on
   a Flying Armor.  This makes it so that the RX-178
   Gundam Mark II becomes sort of a Mobile Armor Mode in
   that it can only use long range weapons and that you
   will always be flying towards the enemy mobile suit
   (although the Vernier Gauge is not used up).

   In Battle #4, you will be standing on a Flying Armor.
   This, like Battles #1, #2, and #3, allows the RX-178
   Gundam Mark II to be always flying towards the enemy
   mobile suit without using up the Vernier Gauge.
   However, because RX-178 Gundam Mark II is standing up,
   it can use both short range and long range attacks.

   For the battles against RMS-108 Marasai use the same
   strategy as in Stage 3.
   
   For Battle #1, PMX-000 Messala enjoys converting into
   Mobile Armor Mode to avoid your long range attacks.
   Therefore, you should get close to Messala before
   firing off your long range attacks.

   In Battle #4, you face off against a squadron of
   MS-07H Gouf Flight Test Types.  But, thankfully, you
   only fight one MS-07H Gouf Flight Test Type at one
   time.  Once you destroy one MS-07H Gouf Flight Test
   Type, another will come and attack you.  Just keep
   your distance and fire off your long range attacks
   to stay alive for 2 minutes.

   The battle against NRX-044 Asshimar is very similar to
   Battle #1 in that it enjoys transforming into Mobile
   Armor Mode to avoid attacks.  Therefore use the same
   strategy as in Battle #1.

   Don't let the 1 minute time limit fool you for Battle
   #7.  The battle is actually super easy.  This is
   because RMS-106 Hizack's attacks do very little
   damage when it hits and that its armor is also very
   weak.  I'd be surprised if you aren't able to finish
   this battle in 30 seconds.

    <Stage 5>
Kamille Pilots: RX-178 Gundam Mark II (Battles #1, #2, #4),
    RMS-099 Rick Dias (Battle #3)

Enemies: 1 x ORX-005 Gaplant (Battle #1)
   1 x NRX-044 Asshimar (Battle #2)
   1 x ORX-005 Gaplant (Battle #3)
   1 x NRX-044 Asshimar (Battle #4)

Total Battles: 4

Weapon Pack Choice: Battle #1: A (Beam Rifle)
  Battle #2: C (Bazooka - Sandan)
  Battle #3: A (Beam Pistol)
 B (Bazooka - Normal)
  Battle #4: A (Beam Rifle)

Objective: Battle #1: Destroy ORX-005 Gaplant
     Battle #2: Destroy NRX-044 Asshimar
     Battle #3: Destroy ORX-005 Gaplant
     Battle #4: Destroy NRX-044 Asshimar

Remarks: In Battles #1, #3, and #4, you will be standing on
   a Flying Armor.

   ORX-005 Gaplant is a very fast moving mobile suit even
   when it's not in Mobile Armor Mode.  Thankfully to cope
   with this you stand on a Flying Armor to match its
   speed.  For Battles #1 and #3, you can destroy ORX-005
   Gaplant easily by using your Vernier to get closer to
   ORX-005 Gaplant before hitting it with your long range
   attacks.

   For Battles #2 and #4 against NRX-044 Asshimar, get
   fairly close to NRX-044 Asshimar (but adequately away
   to be able to avoid its long range attacks) before
   shooting your long range weapons.  Otherwise, it'll be
   fairly difficult to hit NRX-044 Asshimar since it
   transforms into its Mobile Armor Mode to avoid your
   attacks.

    <Stage 6>
Kamille Pilots: RX-178 Gundam Mark II

Enemies: 1 x MRX-009 Psyco Gundam (Battle #1)
   3 x RMS-106 Hizack (Battle #2)
   1 x Garuda Class Transport Ship (Battle #3)

Total Battles: 3

Weapon Pack Choice: Battle #1: A (Beam Rifle)
  Battle #2: A (Beam Rifle)
  Battle #3: A (Beam Rifle)

Objective: Battle #1: Destroy MRX-009 Psyco Gundam
     Battle #2: Destroy RMS-106 Hizacks
     Battle #3: Destroy Garuda Class Transport Ship

Remarks: MRX-009 Psyco Gundam's attacks maybe very damaging,
   but it is super slow.  You can easily defeat MRX-009
   Psyco Gundam in Battle #1 by using your Vernier to get
   very close to Psyco Gundam and then use your short
   range attack to continuously damage it.  However, if
   MRX-009 Psyco Gundam uses its short range special
   attack, immediately use your Vernier to keep your
   distance away from it as that attack is super damaging
   if it hits you.

   In Battle #2, you are standing on a Flying Armor again.
   However, the 3 RMS-106 Hizacks are also standing on a
   Flying Armor, so you don't have a speed advantage over
   them.  Luckily, you only have to face one RMS-106
   Hizack at a time.  Despite this, this battle is still
   very easy.  Just use the same strategy as with your
   last battle with RMS-106 Hizack in Stage 4 to finish
   them off.

   Battle #3 is a fairly easy battle as long as you keep
   your distance from the Garuda Class Transport Ship.
   Because the Grauda Class Transport Ship is so big, it
   is very easy to hit it with your long range attacks.
   However, be sure to avoid attacks from its Laser Gun
   Turret as it is quite damaging.

    <Stage 7>
Kamille Pilots: MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam

Enemies: 1 x RX-178 Gundam Mark II (Battle #1)

Total Battles: 1

Weapon Pack Choice: Battle #1: A (Beam Rifle)

Objective: Battle #1: Destroy RX-178 Gundam Mark II

Remarks: This is just a practice stage for you to get
   acquainted with the attacks of the MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam.
   This battle is fairly easy, just use your long range
   attacks while avoiding the attacks from the RX-178
   Gundam Mark II.

    <Stage 8>
Kamille Pilots: MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam

Enemies: 2 x RMS-106 Hizack (Battle #1)
   1 x Salamis Kai Class Battle Cruiser (Battle #1)
   1 x RMS-108 Marasai (Battle #2)
   1 x RX-110 Gabthley (Battle #3)

Total Battles: 3

Weapon Pack Choice: Battle #1: A (Beam Rifle)
  Battle #2: A (Beam Rifle)
  Battle #3: A (Beam Rifle)

Objective: Battle #1: Destroy RMS-106 Hizacks and Salamis Kai
    Class Battle Cruiser
     Battle #2: Destroy RMS-108 Marasai
     Battle #3: Destroy RX-110 Gabthley

Remarks: In Battle #1, you first fight a RMS-106 Hizack, then
   the Salamis Kai Class Battle Cruiser, then another
   RMS-106 Hizack.  You should have no problems with
   the RMS-106 Hizacks by now; just use the same strategy
   as before.  For the Salamis Kai Class Battle Cruiser,
   don't get too close to it, otherwise you'll have a
   tough time dodging the attacks from its many Guns.
   You shouldn't have any trouble destroying it since
   the Salamis Kai Class Battle Cruiser is very big.

   Now that you have MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam, there shouldn't
   be any problems in disposing RMS-108 Marasai in Battle
   #2.

   For Battle #3, exploit the fact that RX-110 Gabthley
   has no shield and use short range attacks to damage it.

    <Stage 9>
Kamille Pilots: MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam

Enemies: 1 x ORX-005 Gaplant (Battle #1)
   1 x ORX-005 Gaplant (Battle #2)

Total Battles: 2

Weapon Pack Choice: Battle #1: A (Beam Rifle)
  Battle #2: A (Beam Rifle)

Objective: Battle #1: Destroy ORX-005 Gaplant
     Battle #2: Destroy ORX-005 Gaplant

Remarks: Now that you have MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam, you no longer
   need a Flying Armor to match ORX-005 Gaplant's speed.
   For Battles #1 and #2, make use of your short range
   attacks to overpower ORX-005 Gaplant.

    <Stage 10>
Kamille Pilots: MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam

Enemies: 1 x RX-110 Gabthley (Battle #1)
   1 x RX-110 Gabthley (Battle #2)

Total Battles: 2

Weapon Pack Choice: Battle #1: A (Beam Rifle)
  Battle #2: A (Beam Rifle)

Objective: Battle #1: Destroy RX-110 Gabthley
     Battle #2: Destroy RX-110 Gabthley

Remarks: RX-110 Gabthley is harder in this stage than it was in
   Stage 8.  However, it still isn't much of a threat.
   Make good use of your short range special attack and
   your long range attacks to dispose of this mobile suit
   in both battles.

    <Stage 11>
Kamille Pilots: MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam

Enemies: 1 x RX-160 Byalant (Battle #1)

Total Battles: 1

Weapon Pack Choice: Battle #1: A (Beam Rifle)

Objective: Battle #1: Destroy RX-160 Byalant

Remarks: Keep your distance from the RX-160 Byalant since it
   enjoys using its short range special if you get too
   close to it.  Therefore use your long range attacks
   to destroy RX-160 Byalant.

    <Stage 12>
Kamille Pilots: MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam

Enemies: 1 x RX-160 Byalant (Battle #1)

Total Battles: 1

Weapon Pack Choice: Battle #1: A (Beam Rifle)

Objective: Battle #1: Destroy RX-160 Byalant

Remarks: The RX-160 Byalant is back for another match.  Use
   the same strategy as Stage 11 to destroy it again.

    <Stage 13>
Kamille Pilots: MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam

Enemies: 1 x Salamis Kai Class Battle Cruiser (Battle #1)
   1 x RX-160 Byalant (Battle #2)

Total Battles: 2

Weapon Pack Choice: Battle #1: A (Beam Rifle)
  Battle #2: A (Beam Rifle)

Objective: Battle #1: Destroy Salamis Kai Class Battle Cruiser
     Battle #2: Destroy RX-160 Byalant

Remarks: Like with all ships, they are very easy to hit with
   long range attacks due to its size.  Therefore keep
   your distance in Battle #1 and attack using long range
   attacks.

   The RX-160 Byalant is back once again.  Like Stage 12,
   use the strategy of Stage 11 to destroy it.

    <Stage 14>
Kamille Pilots: MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam

Enemies: 1 x NRX-055 Baund Doc (Battle #1)
   1 x NRX-055 Baund Doc (Battle #2)
   1 x RX-139 Hambrabi (Battle #3)
   1 x PMX-003 The O (Battle #4)
   1 x PMX-003 The O (Battle #5)

Total Battles: 5

Weapon Pack Choice: Battle #1: A (Beam Rifle)
  Battle #2: A (Beam Rifle)
  Battle #3: A (Beam Rifle)
  Battle #4: A (Beam Rifle)
  Battle #5: A (Beam Rifle)

Objective: Battle #1: Destroy NRX-055 Baund Doc
     Battle #2: Destroy NRX-055 Baund Doc
     Battle #3: Destroy RX-139 Hambrabi
     Battle #4: Destroy PMX-003 The O
     Battle #5: Destroy PMX-003 The O

Remarks: For Battles #1 and #2, watch out for NRX-055 Baund
   Doc's short range special attack as it is very damaging.
   It can still hit you even if you are far away.  Make
   good use of your Vernier to avoid those attacks.

   For Battle #3, RX-139 Hambrabi also enjoys using its
   short range special attack.  However, unlike the short
   range special of NRX-055, it can be easily avoided.
   Use a combination of short range and long range
   attacks to destroy this mobile suit.

   PMX-003 The O is harder in Battle #5 than it is in
   Battle #4.  However, it is still a very formidable
   mobile suit in Battle #4.  It has very high Attack and
   Armor attributes giving it very strong attacks and a
   very good defense.  In addition, it is very good at
   avoiding your attacks.  Therefore, you must make good
   use of your Vernier as well as (L1) and (L2) to avoid
   PMX-003's attacks, while only firing off your long
   range attacks when there is a complete lock-on.
   Finish these two battles to complete Kamille's Story.


  ------------------------------------------------------


  Char's Story
    This story follows Quattro Bajeena (aka Char Aznable)'s epic
    battles from the tv series Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam.  It consists
    of 8 different stages and is accessible only on Disc 2.

    <Stage 1>
Quattro (aka Char) Pilots: RMS-099 Rick Dias

Enemies: 1 x RX-178 Gundam Mark II (Battle #1)
   1 x RMS-117 Galbaldy Beta (Battle #2)

Total Battles: 2

Weapon Pack Choice: Battle #1: A (Beam Pistol)
  Battle #2: A (Beam Pistol)
 B (Bazooka - Normal)

Objective: Battle #1: Destroy RX-178 Gundam Mark II
     Battle #2: Destroy RMS-117 Galbaldy Beta

Remarks: Battle #1 is a fairly easy battle so that you can get
   acquainted with Story Mode.  There shouldn't be any
   problems in finishing this battle.

   RMS-117 Galbaldy Beta is not much of a threat either.
   Keep your distance as it tends to use its short range
   special attack alot if you get close to it.

    <Stage 2>
Quattro (aka Char) Pilots: MSN-00100 Hyaku Shiki

Enemies: 1 x PMX-000 Messala (Battle #1)
   1 x RMS-108 Marasai (Battle #2)
   1 x NRX-044 Asshimar (Battle #3)

Total Battles: 3

Weapon Pack Choice: Battle #1: A (Beam Rifle)
  Battle #2: A (Beam Rifle)
  Battle #3: A (Beam Rifle)

Objective: Battle #1: Destroy PMX-000 Messala
     Battle #2: Destroy RMS-108 Marasai
     Battle #3: Destroy NRX-044 Asshimar within 2 minutes

Remarks: There is nothing to worry about in Battle #1 as the
   MSN-00100 Hyaku Shiki is a far superior mobile suit to
   PMX-000 Messala.

   For Battle #2, make good use of the (L1) and (L2)
   buttons to avoid RMS-108 Marasai's long range attacks
   since its Machine Gun fires three to six shots at a
   time.  To defeat it easily, get close to RMS-108
   Marasai with your Vernier and use short range attacks.

   In Battle #3, NRX-044 Asshimar tends to transform into
   its Mobile Armor Mode to avoid your attacks.  To get
   around this and the 2 minute time-limit, use your
   Vernier to get fairly close to NRX-044 Asshimar before
   firing off your long range attacks.

    <Stage 3>
Quattro (aka Char) Pilots: MSN-00100 Hyaku Shiki

Enemies: 1 x NRX-044 Asshimar (Battle #1)

Total Battles: 1

Weapon Pack Choice: Battle #1: A (Beam Rifle)
 B (Bazooka - Normal)

Objective: Battle #1: Destroy NRX-044 Asshimar

Remarks: There is no time constraint this time when you fight
   the NRX-044 Asshimar.  This makes the battle easier.
   However, the strategy is still the same as the one in
   Stage 2.

    <Stage 4>
Quattro (aka Char) Pilots: MSN-00100 Hyaku Shiki

Enemies: 2 x RMS-106 Hizack (Battle #1)
   1 x Salamis Kai Class Battle Cruiser (Battle #1)
   1 x RX-110 Gabthley (Battle #2)

Total Battles: 2

Weapon Pack Choice: Battle #1: A (Beam Rifle)
  Battle #2: A (Beam Rifle)

Objective: Battle #1: Destroy RMS-106 Hizacks and Salamis Kai
    Class Battle Cruiser
     Battle #2: Destroy RX-110 Gabthley

Remarks: In Battle #1, you will first face a RMS-106 Hizack,
   then the Salamis Kai Class Battle Cruiser, and finally
   another RMS-106 Hizack.  The RMS-106 Hizack are a
   fairly weak mobile suit with very low Armor and Attack
   attributes.  This makes destroying them fairly easy.
   However, do watch out for its long range attack since
   its Machine Gun fires six shots at a time.

   In Battle #2, keep your distance from RX-110 Gabthley
   as it tends to use its short range special attack if
   you get close to it.  Use long range attacks and good
   evasion skills to overcome this mobile suit.

    <Stage 5>
Quattro (aka Char) Pilots: MSN-00100 Hyaku Shiki

Enemies: 1 x Dogosse Gier Battle Cruiser (Battle #1)
   1 x RX-139 Hambrabi (Battle #2)

Total Battles: 2

Weapon Pack Choice: Battle #1: * (Mega Bazooka Launcher)
  Battle #2: A (Beam Rifle)

Objective: Battle #1: Destroy Dogosse Gier Battle Cruiser
     Battle #2: Destroy RX-139 Hambrabi

Remarks: For Battle #1, the MSN-00100 Hyaku Shiki carries
   its Mega Bazooka Launcher as its only armament.
   Therefore, you are unable to use any other short range
   or long range attack.  The Mega Bazooka Launcher can
   only be fired when the target is completely locked-on.
   Two direct hits from the Mega Bazooka Launcher will
   sink the Dogosse Gier Battle Cruiser.  Therefore, make
   use of your Vernier to get close enough to the Dogosse
   Gier Battle Cruiser to obtain a complete lock-on.
   However, watch out for the attacks from the many Guns
   of the Dogosse Gier Battle Cruiser as they are quite
   damaging.

   In Battle #2, RX-139 Hambrabi uses its short range
   special quite often, but it is very easy to avoid with
   (L1) and (L2).  Use a combination of short range and
   long range attacks to destroy this mobile suit.

    <Stage 6>
Quattro (aka Char) Pilots: MSN-00100 Hyaku Shiki

Enemies: 1 x MRX-009 Psyco Gundam (Battle #1)

Total Battles: 1

Weapon Pack Choice: Battle #1: A (Beam Rifle)

Objective: Battle #1: Destroy MRX-009 Psyco Gundam

Remarks: The attacks of MRX-009 Psyco Gundam are very damaging.
   It has very high Armor and Attack attributes, but
   super low Vernier and Speed attributes.  You should
   exploit this fact and use your Vernier to get close
   to MRX-009 Psyco Gundam and use your short range
   attacks.  However, be careful of MRX-009 Psyco
   Gundam's short range special attack as it is super
   damaging if it hits you.  So, make use of (L1), (L2),
   and your Vernier to avoid its short range special
   attack.

    <Stage 7>
Quattro (aka Char) Pilots: MSN-00100 Hyaku Shiki

Enemies: 1 x RX-160 Byalant (Battle #1)

Total Battles: 1

Weapon Pack Choice: Battle #1: A (Beam Rifle)

Objective: Battle #1: Destroy RX-160 Byalant

Remarks: This is a fairly easy battle.  Keep your distance
   from RX-160 Byalant and stick with long range attacks
   to dispose of this mobile suit.  Also watch out for its
   short range special attack as it is fairly damaging.

    <Stage 8>
Quattro (aka Char) Pilots: MSN-00100 Hyaku Shiki

Enemies: 1 x PMX-003 The O (Battle #1)
   1 x AMX-004 Qubeley (Battle #2)

Total Battles: 2

Weapon Pack Choice: Battle #1: A (Beam Rifle)
  Battle #2: A (Beam Rifle)

Objective: Battle #1: Destroy PMX-003 The O
     Battle #2: Destroy AMX-004 Quebeley

Remarks: Very high Armor and Attack attributes makes the PMX-003
   The O a formidable opponent in Battle #1.  Because of
   its highly damaging attacks, you must be very good at
   evading attacks with your Vernier since the MSN-00100
   Hyaku Shiki has no Shield.  To add to this, PMX-003
   The O is very good at evading your long range and short
   range attacks.  To overcome this problem, make sure to
   use your long range attacks only when a complete
   lock-on is acheived.  Don't be surprised that you need
   more than one try to win this battle.

   One word describes the AMX-004 Quebeley very well:
   "deadly".  Not only does the AMX-004 Quebeley have a
   very high Attack attribute, but it also has a short
   range special attack that sends all its Funnels to home
   in on MSN-00100 Hyaku Shiki and attack it multiple
   times.  If you are not good with the (L1), (L2), and
   Vernier, you will sustain massive damage from its
   funnels.  Furthermore, the AMX-004 Quebeley is also
   very good at evading your long range attacks.
   Therefore, the best way to defeat the AMX-004 Quebeley
   is to use your Vernier and rush up close to it while
   using your long range attacks.  Then once you are very
   close to it, use a combination of short range and
   long range attacks to damage the AMX-004 Quebeley.
   Hopefully you'll be able to damage the AMX-004 Quebeley
   by quite a bit before it uses its short range special
   attack.  As with Battle #1, you may need more than one
   try to be victorious in this battle.  Finish this
   battle to complete Char's Story.
