![]() ![]() In order to find it, you must carpet bomb the particular strip in order to expose the flag. ![]() They always appear along the same horizontal strip of the stage, but their location within that strip is random. There are four secret flags that occur in the first 16 stages. The same strategy must be applied when fighting the Andor Genesis motherships. You must aim for the location that your target will arrive at when the bomb reaches the ground. Mobile targets on the other hand require a good deal of planning. Simply wait for your reticule to overlap the target and flash, then press the fire button. Stationary ground targets are easy to bomb successfully. Never bomb a location if it means situating yourself in a bullet's or enemy's trajectory. For one thing, it is very important to remain mindful and aware of the enemy presence in the air, as well as the position and trajectory of enemy bullets. Bombing ground targets can present a challenge as well. Standing still when ground targets are present is generally a bad idea. They present no threat of direct contact, but they produce a great deal of bullets that must be avoided (again, with exceptions). Ground targets are generally stationary, with a few exceptions. They typically appear in large quantities so it's difficult, if not impossible, to destroy all of them, but it is still in your best interest to eliminate as many as possible in order to reduce the presence of bullets on the screen. The stronger the Zakato, the more bullets they will generate upon detonation. These behave very much like air grenades, often warping on to the screen before exploding. Many of the ships can retreat faster than the speed of your Zapper and can avoid taking return fire, so it's best to eliminate them as soon as they appear. The second kind flies in at various speeds, and stops to take a shot at you before retreating. Once they cross your line of fire, they immediately reverse their lateral direction and fly off to the side of the screen that they came from. The first kind, like the Toroids, come in from the opposite corners of the screen and swoop in to approach your ship. The more aggressively you play, the greater the likelihood of return fire, so you must also be on the lookout for enemy bullets.Īerial enemies generally come in three flavors. Throughout the game, you have two primary concerns: the current threat level of aerial enemies, and the immediate presence of ground targets. Additionally, there are a variety of hidden Sol Towers and Special Flags, whose locations will be illustrated below. The first one appears in area 4, the second one in area 9, and two will appear in area 14. Throughout the first 16 stages, you will encounter four Andor Genesis motherships. If you happen to die before you are 70% through that stage, you will start at the very beginning of the current stage. If you happen to die when you are at least 70% of the way through the current area, you will automatically begin at the next stage. Where you die determines where your next life will begin. The terrain will not have any bearing on the aerial troops, as they are dictated by your skill level, and the ability to target and destroy Zolbaks. The type of terrain that you fly over will generally dictate what kinds of ground troops that you will encounter since they are relatively fixed. The strips overlap so it is not uncommon to recognize a location in one strip from a previous strip in a different location.Īfter completing the 16th area, the areas repeat starting from the 7th. The stages are composed of 16 vertical strips that are comprised from the map on the right. Each stage continues immediately on to the next with no visual indication of one stages end and another stages beginning other than a dense forest. Xevious is composed of 16 areas or stages. ![]()
