Gride's Choice
Spoilers ahead --




Not sure if this is a bug or not. I'm trying to blow up the Apothoesis. If I go far enough away to not get killed by my own bombs, it triggers the pacifist side of the mission. I've tried from every angle, and I cannot blow this thing up without dying or triggering the other choice.

Is it a bug, or am I just doing it wrong? Thanks.

Make sure the cores are opened (there's a little cutscene showing them opening if you triggered it), place bombs at both cores (Dal will confirm), then fly out (without triggering it)

Noooooooooooo!!


I unlocked everything in the maze. I "broke the bonds" on the cocoons. Then I got the choice. I didn't open anything else up. So you're saying the glass shields were supposed to be open too? I have a save from right before. I want to keep the economy at war. Should I just go back to that save then? Does the choice really affect the economy that much? All I've done so far is kill the small fleet, and the destroyer, and went back to the PHQ. Thanks.

Edit: I went back to the old save, and did it. Thanks.

Cool you got it to work :)

The next few missions are related to 'supporting your choice' by investing. Yes the outcomes of what happens is very different. If you want the economy at war, you'll want to blow the monument up.

I have this big problem...
Only ONE core has opened (the front one). How do I open the other one??

You probably only shot one panel and didn't shoot the other.
Go back into the cacoon room and shoot the other panel on the left/right side when facing the exit

There's a bug in 3.30 (fixed in 4.0) that closes the shield on the red beam in the back when you load a save game. If that happens, repair the two panels in the cocoon room and shoot them again.
