Alaya-Vijnana (Bio Unit)?

[Louis Cypher]

Hi everyone,

in the Alaya-Vijnana System description of the Graze Ein is stated that the pilot needs the Alaya-Vijnana (Bio-Unit) - but where do we get this special ability from?

Thanks in advance for helping me.

Unlocked Hell difficulty yet? I dunno if one of the new Group Dispatches from the update has it, but otherwise, you get this by felling the Graze Ein in G-Tekketsu Stage 07: Tekkadan on Hell, as it is the only place it drops.

... or rather, you have a chance to obtain it. You may need to redo the stage again if you don't get it, as IIRC you have a chance to obtain a different ability instead..

Much thanks. No, although I have over 300 hours, I haven't unlocked hell yet, since I really do not like SEED, I progress very, very slowly there.

Also keep in mind that when you see a pilot with two possible drops, they are predetermined BEFORE starting the stage, so if they don't drop it the time you defeat them, reloading will not change the results, forcing you to QUIT (retry will just yields the same drop iirc) and select the stage again.

This is why I got Cosmic Era out of the way first, lmao. Get to work!

A pilot with two possible drops? Is this a new feature? Usually I can see the drops (normal, hard extra) during stage select and the drops of the pink secret enemies are random. I assume this is how it works in hell and inferno, too...
Has this changed with the expansion pass or recent update?

[TouyaShiro]

No, in Hell certain enemies have two potential abilities held, most often a more standard and common ability, and the second one is instead one of their signature abilities. So for example, one of the two drops from Ribbons Almark is Gundam Meister in Stage 13 of 00 on Hell difficulty. You got a pure 50/50 determining which one you get when the stage is loaded up...

Just as TouyaShiro said. Thankfully I've seen this bad design choice only on HELL, I didn't notice something like this in any inferno enemy. Also some inferno enemies on certain levels have as a single drop those 50% possible drop from HELL, but only a few cases (for example I didn't see the observer ability on any inferno fixed enemy).

Stage 07 for IBO on Hell Difficulty has Ein Dalton with the Alaya-Vijnana (Bio-Unit) as a secondary skill, though I have only gotten the common one for killing him so far. As others have said, which skill you get from someone with a two is pre-determined before you start the stage, and I just plain don't like re-loading entire fights just for one skill when I'm going playing through the storylines.

Usually this happens once you have cleared pretty much the game and are just farming those skills either for collection purposes or because you need them for your builds.

Still the predetermined thing is outright crap. XD
