Since he's so tall, he had a tough time seeing us under the bridge, and there were generally teammates scurrying about in vital suits to draw his attention from us. From here we'd hang out and fire rockets at his glowing orange limbs.
Once we found one, we'd then briskly walk (hey, we've only got so much stamina) to the bridge cutting through the middle of the level and hide out below to shield ourselves from the boss's death-from-above stomp. Our winning strategy went like this: Run like a madman to the nearest battle suit, throw it on, and then run like a madman to the nearest grenade launcher gun. These battle suits were the key to our success against Akrid X. There are also battle suits, which are temporary suits of armor that drastically boost your defenses without taking away any of your agility. Helping you are a number of vital suits (that is, mini-mech suits) scattered throughout the world that you can either ride around in or strip of their huge guns. Those who played the original Lost Planet will recognize the presence of glowing orange spots on the boss-these are the weak zones where your weapons do significantly more damage than shooting anywhere else on his body. Though Akrid X is every bit a hulking colossus, he's got his weaknesses just like every other boss you'll face. He also has the ability to breathe fire, which he does quite often. Get too close, and you'll be pancaked instantly. He can leap back down below and knock everyone in the immediate vicinity down with a devastating shock wave. First is his ability to leap up to the roofs of the giant buildings flanking the small little courtyard where the battle takes place. He's got a few devastating attacks that are capable of killing you in a single heartbeat. Imagine a demon, a crab, and a dragon, and then combine them all into one towering demon-crab-dragon, and you've got a good idea of what this guy looks like. Remember Ivan Solotov? It turns out there are some clones of him serving in the NEVEC ranks.Īs for the Akrid X boss, he's a tough beast to describe. The Lost Planet storyline is surprisingly dense, but if you're a fan of the original game, you'll find yourself rewarded with a few bits of fan service in the form of references to characters from the original game. In this episode, you're playing as the NEVEC, a group you may recall as an enemy from the original Lost Planet. Throughout the game you're playing as different pirate factions all trying to survive the Akrid invasion. The fight takes place in an urban city environment that feels like a distinct departure from the green jungles and sandy wastelands we've seen in previous Lost Planet 2 stages.
