Xenosaga Episode 1 Help

[lisalover1]

I have recently started playing Xenosaga Episode 1, but I'm already stuck early in the game. I am at the part where you have to fight the Domo Carrier boss in the Elsa ship, and as I have read, it is a battle very dependent on your A.W.G.S units, and it is necessary that you upgrade them beforehand, or else the boss will obliterate you. The problem is, the game never told me this, and I forgot to upgrade. Now I am right before facing the boss, and I no longer have access to the A.W.G.S upgrade shop! The robot that sells upgrades is gone, and I can't find him anywhere! I've looked in online guides, and even the official guide, but neither tells me where the upgrade shop moved to! Does anybody remember where to find it during the U-TIC invasion?

I honestly don't remember if you can upgrade or not. However, you might try fighting him as you are and seeing what happens.

I've beaten the Domo Carrier without having to use AGWS.

I just followed what the in-game cues were telling me to do. I forget how it worked, but if you follow the in-game cues, you can avoid a lot of the damage that Tremor-P causes.

I went like over half the game without using my AGWS at all

You must have been level-grinding for ages! How do you avoid the Tremor-P damage? It wipes out my entire party in 2 shots!

Not at all. I didn't do any grinding before the Domo fight.

I think it's something like this: pay attention to the symbol that gets assigned to Tremor-P at the beginning of the battle. Domo Carrier will use Tremor-P whenever its turn falls on that symbol.

So to avoid Tremor-P, you watch out for the symbol that comes BEFORE the one to which Tremor-P gets assigned.

You use "boost" when the symbol before Tremor-P comes up, which will move one of your other characters to Domo's move slot and cancel Tremor-P.
