Xenogears challenge (Spoilers)

Okay in my third game I did a challenge I made up which is just to learn and use the level 2 deathblows. TX TTX and SX through out the game. After I learned those I just kept running from my battles so that I couldn't learn anymore DB's. The game became really hard especially after (Spoiler) Elly leaves(Spoiler). Gear battles also became much harder and dune man's isle became near impossible. Xenogears has such a hospitable environment, so why not make it more of a challenge? Try it if you want a challenge. I did this and I beat the game at around lvl 35-40. Or You could try the all Maria Chu chu Challenge. This is the worst thing I cam up with and I didn't even finish it. Basically all your characters are dead on the second disc and you play as Maria and Chu Chu only (impossible with G Elements can do for Ramsus and Miang in merkava). For the Maria one to work I had to get most of the treasure from the battle arena (mainly GNSR50). That would have to be my hardest one I tried in game 2. If anyone has done anyother challenges for Xenogears please post.

Chu Chu actually has the potential to have the best character for gear battles, as her giant mode stats are based on her normal stats. If you're willing to drop a LOT of money at Big Joe's, you can make a pink ball of death to rival even the Great Mambo God himself!

For a lot of people that's just chu much money.

Oh no.... you did NOT just say that!

I was wondering when someone would pick up on that.

Chu're kidding.

I kid chu not.

well, let me ask you how you plan to build up her stats without access to the drives? This challenge is meant for most of disc 2 beginning anima dungeon one till you get Xenogears. It'd be too hard to get Maria to get to atk lvl infinity during the fight with the pillars, o taking her is pointless unless you want her there just to take up space. If we could ge the drives it would not be a challenge at all. I have only attmpted to max out everyones stats once and it's not really hard to do as long as you have a trader card. Equip the trader card and go to anima relic dungeon 2 and fight toads things and they should give you 7 scales. Sell the scales in kislev at the blue crystal and repeat. When you have enough money just buy the drives.

Not too difficult to get Maria to Hyper mode if she's with other slow characters, such as Rico and Chu-Chu. You'd think that would make a ridiculously crappy team, but they all got to Hyper mode (sans Chu-Chu) and beat the crap out of the pillar boss.

By the way, I was pleasantly surprised to discover Fei isn't the only one with a Hyper Mode X-deathblow - Billy has one too. I got everyone's deathblows in the game, so I don't expect anyone else to have them... or do they?

Everyone has a Hyper X deathblow.
