Title: How to finish JAD 3
Post by: Marcov on May 28, 2010, 10:26:13 am
OK, so many invulnerable ships I had to destroy with BFReds (I cheated, what else can I do)....

So how exactly can I escape that friggin' supernova? It fails if I do.

Cheating is bad.

I don't exactly remember how I beat JAD3, but it didn't involved any cheating.

Spoiler:
I think there are looping missions involved

I didn't cheat at all in any JAD. It's definitely doable.

The secret to winning JAD3 is no different than how you won any other JAD, or even the mission you played directly before that one!

But he did that by cheating for BFReds. :P

Finishing JAD is only possible for mature intelligence people such as myself

Wasn't the GTVAngelion invulnerable? So how am I exactly supposed to destroy it?

Plus, the supernova in the end? I tried activating my subspace drive. It says "The End" and Mission failed. Is it really like this?

Try hitting F4 and read the additional mission directives as they're added, for a hint. It's not spelled out for you, but there may be enough to get an idea of what you're being asked to do. I didn't realize they were there until I was already done, though.

For the giant mecha:
Spoiler:
There's a pair of GTS Hygeias, somewhere. Now, think about a bodily region of which seemingly about half of America's Funniest Videos clips involve injury to. (i.e. they're not eyes) :P

If that's not enough(or you're not from the USA, and thus may have no idea what I'm talking about), check the Hades' fighterbay.

How to end the mission?
Spoiler:
My recommendation is to grab the 'star' powerup as you dash to the Knossos.

It is all completely doable without cheats; there's often a weak point or little 'gimmick' you have to do/perform to finish the task/mission, but it's all doable.

How very Michael Bay-ian....
