S Class Tips

[purifierunitx]

Anyone have any tips on getting the S class license in legends 2? My cuz and I have been trying forever....

This has actually been asked a few times already, but that's okay. I, myself, being the incredibly skilled digger that I am. Errmm... yes, well anyway. I covered this in depth somewhere here... let me just find the topic...

XD I was gunna guide ya through the first few rooms, because I never could get through this test, but now I just beat it on my first try! First room: Alright, three exploding reaverbots, and two spiderlike ones are infront of you. Kill the nearest exploder to get him out of your way. Knock both spiders on their backs with your buster, kill the remaining exploders then kill both spiders by throwing them at each other. Proceed around the corner, STAY TO THE LEFT. When you get to the two sniper joe wannabes, the one on the LEFT should start to stand up. Pick him up. If you do this right, neither of the three exploders will see you and the other sniper joe wannabe will still stand still. What could be better? Well, you're in PERFECT RANGE to throw Sniper Joe 1 at Sniper joe 2, that's what. No risks. throw, and they both die. Pull back a little and shoot down the 'sploders. Room 2: This one's a little tricky. Kill the green worms first because getting hit will ruin your chances of having any success at all. Kill the mini purple dudes after that, then STAY LOCKED ON TO THE MAIN PURPLE THING. Kinda stand at a distance and strafe left and right. that will kill every little purple thing that gets in your way and each time you miss it will hit the purple thing. Once you take that down, head on to the next room(and the last one I'll be covering). Room 3: This room is simple enough. Come at the Sniper Joe wannabe shooting. The exploder hiding behind him will come at you. Pull back and destroy. Come at Snipey again, shooting, and then pick him up(stop shooting to give him time to lower his shield, but not enough time to fire). Throw him at the nearest spider reaverbot from a safe distance. Then shoot and knock the spider on its back. Proceed to knock the OTHER spider around the corner on its back as well - to save time. Throw the spiders at each other and kill them both. Proceed down the hall and shoot at a safe distance at the flying reaverbots. Jump away if you're afraid they'll hit you(or just stand there if you have the Light Barrier) Room 4: Three purple purple thing spawners. get behind one and shoot at it(don't aim) while dodging the little purple things. Once it's destroyed, press R2 and shoot down every little purple thing in the room. Proceed to do the same with the other 2 purple things. You can do this without getting hit at all. Room 5: This one's a BREEZE. Stand where you are and lock on to each exploder. They'll all die before they can hit you. Then for the two snipeys at the door, come in on the LEFT side of the LEFT one or the RIGHT side of the RIGHT one, without firing. You should be able to pick either up before they fire and without the other standing up. Throw and you're done. LAST ROOM! The two green guys... the best strategy here is to Jump around. Keep jumping. Jump and shoot. They can easily catch you on the floor but if you keep jumping around it's possible to not get hit at all(I got hit ONCE in this WHOLE run). Just take 'em down one at a time, jumping all the while. Kill them both and you're done. It takes a while to get used to this. I swear it works though. I did this and got hit ONCE(foolishly stayed on the ground in the last room), and had 5-10 seconds short of a whole minute left(50-55 seconds left)..(I took pictures ;D I can't prove the one hit thing, but I can prove that I had 55.7x(can't read the last digit) and that it was the S test) Thanks buddy. Ya saved me the trouble of playing through normal mode again to get to hard. ;D

I used the same strategy as Pitch, with two diffrent things though:

In the first room, when I threw the spider reaver at the other spider reaver, I grabbed it and threw it at the Sniper Joe clone, giving you more time to grab it before it posions you.

In the fourth room I took care of the most north purple spawner thing first, as it is faster to lock on to making it easier to kill. After that I quickly lock on to one of the side ones and take care of them. After they are destroyed, I killed the small purple reavers that can be chain exploded quickly. The reason that I take them out last is because there is a limit to how many that spawn and if you destroy them while the spawners are alive they'll just come back.

There ya go. As Pitch said, it takes awhile to get use to. Especially the first room, as picking up the sniper joe is one of the hardest parts in the Digger's Exam. It took me more then 15 times to beat the S-Class exam. (Yes, I suck. But it was my first time passing XP)

USe the Rapid Fire trick for the S class test. Keep hitting the up arrow on the control pad while firing. And you have to radpily press the pad just to let u know. I used that in the first time i took the test and i finished with .05 sec left . Second time i finished with 45 secs left.

See, it's really easily possible to do it my way though. I've tried chucking one of the spiders at one of the guys, but then that one got knocked back, I had to go further to get him, the other guy started firing, and one of the exploders got to me. You can get around that corner and grab the one guy without any of the others noticing, and with plenty of time to pick him up.

In the fourth room I took care of the most north purple spawner thing first, as it is faster to lock on to making it easier to kill. After that I quickly lock on to one of the side ones and take care of them. After they are destroyed, I killed the small purple reavers that can be chain exploded quickly. The reason that I take them out last is because there is a limit to how many that spawn and if you destroy them while the spawners are alive they'll just come back.

Well, the trick here really is not to lock on, because you can just stand next to the one you want to kill and adjust when you see the little ones coming. Sure they'll respawn, but that doesn't really matter. You don't lose any time at all, really.. however, if you get caught by one you get knocked over, it's not particularly hard, but a bit annoying to shake the others off and, bleh.

I did mention I did that without getting hit at all, right? ;D

...well, till the end of course, but that was just laziness on my part.
