Support NeoGAF

Im having a little trouble with AW2 on the final mission.

I really hate clogging up GAF with game help, but I have been to gamefaqs and other places reading a few guides and nothing seems to help. I was hoping GAF might be able to help me a little bit more.

I am on the Final Mission in Advance Wars 2 (regular mode) and have been trying to beat this fucking level for the past week. I must have tried at least 20 times and each time I just cant get past Sturms arsenal of lasers, cannons, pipes and flame-throwers. Just about every strategy on the internet is the same; Use Max on the left, Colin in the middle, and Eagle on the right. Protect everything whole the outsides build bombers and fighters to attack the cannon. Thats what I have been doing, but I just cant get around all those pipes without Sturm, blocking them or firing some shitty canon or laser at me.

I really want to start a new campaign but I don't want to restart while I am on the final level. Heck, Im willing to use a turn by turn walk through to get this shit over with.

Can anyone help me out?

I think used Sami, waited until her CO Power gauge was maxed, and then smuggled in an infantry unit and used her Super Power to capture the capital in one turn.

There is no HQ on that final stage, you have to destroy the laser to win.

I'm permanently stuck on that last level as well. I've played through the whole game more than once and have never beaten that final stage. GameFAQs is pretty worthless for this level.

 

[Shig]

Ah. whoops. Been awhile since I played it.

I can say, though, that if you're having trouble on that stage, hard mode is going to own you hard.

 

[funkmasterb]

I've been trying for three months to beat it! Thanks for bringing up the question!

 

[Wario64]

i forget exactly how i did it, but i thin i built a bunch of bombers and hoped a couple of them made it through :lol

those last battles are so bullshit. i cant imagine it on hard campaign

Damn, I thought I was the only one. Yea this is really anoying me.

 

[blackadde]

I'm pretty sure you need to use Colin and rush out a Bomber asap (memory a little fuzzy...).

On a related note, oh my god how do you beat Risky Vale. I have an S rank in almost all the other War Room maps but I never even come close to defeating Max, let alone Kanbei in RV.

 

[Forgotten Ancient]

Oh man, I can't remember how I did it anymore, but just wait until you get to hard mode!

It did seem that the last stage on hard mode wasn't as hard for me as when I played it on easy mode, though.

Sorry I can't really help you out (cus I can't remember) but I wouldn't be too surprised if I used Eagle and saved up for his super special and got a few bombers in striking distance.

god...I must get this game back NOW. The best game I've ever played...or, at least most addicting. Good luck!

 

[explodet]

Been a while since I played it too. IIRC, I went with Kanbei for the middle CO - the extra power helps in the later part of the mission, but for heaven's sake stay away from that laser blast. Max for the left, Eagle for the right.

Risky Vale is HARD.

 

[suaveric]

Yes, yes Eagle or Colin on the right with bombers. That's what everyone says. But the damn AI in my game won't let that shit go! It always puts out AA guns and/or a couple fighters.

The last mission is far and away the hardest in the game. Nothing else comes close.

 

[StRaNgE]

how many hits does it take to kill those damn two bomber bases they have . those screw me all up. i tried forever on this level and finally just put the game away unbeaten. that level was or is a bitch for sure.

 

[8bit]

I don't remember the COs in particular, but I seem to remember that I attacked the left side halfway up on the pipes with bombers and quickly broke through to destroy the centre.

 

[Chrono]

I think what I did was build up a lot of bombers and tanks (Neo and MD) while trying to defend at the same time. Then I made a big push in his territory and sacrificed half of my army. :lol

That's all I can remember now.

 

[BuzzJive]

I used Grit on the left, Max in the middle, and Sensei on the right. Sensei's powers are great because they create new infantry units in all the cities he owns. It was always enough to keep the entire right side distracted. I was eventually able to sneak a transport and a guy through that side up to the top to launch some missles here and there. On the left, I mostly used Grit to hold off enemy fighters and lay down some cover fire. Meanwhile, I took some big ole tanks of max up the left side as well and just barged through pipe after pipe. The enemy AI was very distracted by the stuff on that island above my main middle area.

I beat it maybe 3 months ago, so I can't really give you any more details about what I did than that.

Now I want to go play hard mode...

 

[CajoleJuice]

Damn, seeing this thread makes me want to continue through hard mode. I remember the last few missions were bitches on normal mode. Fire Emblem is proving much tougher for me than Advance Wars though. I have almost no memory of how I beat the final mission though, only that I used Kanbei.

 

[GaimeGuy]

Max on the left, Colin in the middle, Eagle on the right.

I can beat it in 8-10 days, usually (depending on what Sturm decides to do)

Hard mode, on the other hand, well, that's a bitch.


I still think the final mission on the first AW (against Sturm) is the hardest mission I've played in any of the wars games.

 

[Memles]

I'm still stuck in Yellow Comet in that damn thing...me and GBA titles didn't go together well for awhile there. I've got Fusion and AW2 half finished and I simply suck too much to continue with them. I think I must have gotten distracted...same thing happened with Viewtiful Joe.

 

[GaimeGuy]

Speaking of Yellow Comet, I hate the Sonja fortress mission. >_<
