ACE STYLES

Mercenary - An ace who destroys enemy targets that are harmful (red/green)and also helpless yellow targets such as tents and bunkers.This ace seeks strength and money.

Soldier - An ace who destroys an equal amount of harmless and enemytargets. This ace can read the tide of battle

Knight - An ace who destroys all enemy targets are spares all other,harmless targets. This ace lives for pride and honour.

Mercenaries face the hardest enemies, knights face the easiest enemies.

RADAR/HUD/MAP INFORMATION

All yellow targets are neutral and harmlessAll red targets are harmful and must be killed to complete a missionAll green targets are harmful but do not affect your ace style, noris killing them necessary.

Hitting any target will get you extra points.

NOTE: The L3 Button (Target Circle) brings up a circle on your screenwhich locks on to the first target which passes through it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------INTRODUCTION TO THE GAME [INT]----------------------------------------------------------------------------The events of Ace Combat Zero take place 15 years before the events ofAce Combat 5 and 10 years before the happenings of Ace Combat 4. Basically,you start off as a mercenary for hire known as Cipher. During the course ofthe game, you learn nothing about your own self, not even your name. Thecountry of Belka is invading the country of Ustio and have reached theirlast stronghold. You are hired by Ustio as a mercenary who eventuallyblossoms into an ace known as 'The Demon Lord of the Round Table'.

In true Ace Combat style, you get to decide the fate of everyone aroundyou while flying as 'Galm 1' with your wingman (Pixy/PJ) as Galm 2.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------THE MISSIONS [MIS]----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------MISSION 01 - Glacial Skies / Operation Crossbow----------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommended Plane: F5-E with QAAMRecommended Wingman Weapon: XMAALocation: 2-APR-95, Valais Air Base

This is quite a simple mission as a start of your campaign. All you must dois to prevent the enemy bombers from reaching the edge of enemy airspace.Order Pixy to Disperse and attack air targets (See controls). Also allowhis special weapons. Press triangle to lock on to an enemy within rangeand Circle to fire your missiles. Shoot down the planes as you see fit and

according to which ace style you want to be. That's all you have to do inthis mission.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------MISSION 02 - Annex / Operation Roselein----------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommended Plane: F5-E with Bombs or RCLRecommended Wingman Weapon: QAAMLocation: 15-APR-95, Arlon

This is an air-to-air/air-to-ground mission. To takeoff, light theafterburners and climb to about 3800 feet. Here the takeoff phase ends andthe mission begins. Order Pixy to disperse and attack air targets (I feelthat he is better at air-to-air combat than air-to-ground. Now advance andattack all the tanks, SAMs, and other targets with missiles, and yourspecial weapon (I recommend a Rocket Launcher). Destroy the targets as yousee fit. You may also choose wether to attack neutral (harmless) targetsand take the mercenary path, or spare unnecessary targets and take theknight path. Striking a balance between the two makes you a soldier.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------MISSION 03 - The Round Table / Operation Choker One----------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommended Plane: F5-E with QAAMRecommended Wingman Weapon: XMAA

Location: 20-APR-95, B7R

For this mission you are taken to the strategic airspace of

8/8/2019 Belkan War

12/25

B7R. Order Pixy, as usual, to disperse and attack air targets. Now applyyour afterburners and head for the cluster of Belkan fighters. Shoot downeight planes and a Belkan ace squadron will come and attack. This squadronwill be different depending on your ace style:

MERCENARY : Rot Squadron {Typhoon}SOLDIER : Grun Squadron {FA-18/C}

KNIGHT : Indigo Squadron {JAS-39 C}

Now, allow Pixy to use his special weapons as well. Keep turning as theaces will be shooting missiles at you very often. Climb to a high altitudesuch as 25,000 feet so you can see them. Now target them with your QAAM'sand when you are within range fire two QAAMs at the enemy.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------MISSION 04 - Juggernaut / Offensive Campaign No.4101----------------------------------------------------------------------------Location: 24-APR-95, Futuro CanalThis mission contains three groups. You can choose which group to fly

with as they all have different aims.

[04 A] Gelnikos (F-1 - UGB)Clear out surface artillery, port facilities and the air squadron to clearout the Futuro Canal

[04 B] Round Hammer (F-1 - UGB)Take out Belka's Naval Fleet stationed at the canal. This is not a hardmission. Frigates must only be hit by a missile once to sink, 2 missiles fordestroyers, 3 for cruisers, and 4 for aegis. You may neutralise cruisersand aegis by destroying their AA guns and SAM's.

[04 C] Costner (F-5E - QAAM)

Order Pixy to disperse and attack air targets as usual and then simplydestroy all enemy planes to complete the mission. You'll unlock theF-16/C, which will help you alot in the following missions.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------MISSION 05 - Flicker of Hope / Operation Varsity----------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommended Plane: F-16C or other unlocked plane (XMAA)Recommended Wingman Weapon: QAAMLocation: 12-MAY-95, Solis Ortus

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// NOTE: Buy whichever plane you unlocked in Mission 4, ///// which depends on the squadron you chose to join ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

To start off with, give the usual order to Pixy, and the systematicallyattack all the ground targets. Once you get to drop zone one destroy thetargets there and then proceed to the other two drop zones. I ignored allaerial attacks until I wiped out the ground forces. After that, concenrateon destroying the enemy planes in the area. Once these are eliminated,you complete the mission.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------MISSION 06 - Diapason / Operation Constantine

----------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommended Plane: F-16C or other unlocked plane (XMAA)Recommended Wingman Weapon: QAAM

8/8/2019 Belkan War

13/25

Location: 13-MAY-95, Directus

Order Pixy to disperse and attack all air targets. The majority of targetsare on the ground. Make sure you can see them clearly before firing,because some are hidden behind buildings. This way you can prevent wastageof missiles (which you will need in the latter part of the mission.) Thereare five sectors which you will need to liberate. Once you have destroyed

all targets and liberated all the sectors, the Gelb squadron (comprised oftwo SU-37s) will come and attack. These aces are good at evading missiles,so fly straight at them and shoot at them with your special weapon and yourmissiles. Also order Pixy to use his special weapon to destroy the enemyfighters. Shoot them down to complete the mission.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------MISSION 07 - Bastion / Operation Hell Bound----------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommended Plane: A-10A Warthog (XAGM)Recommended Wingman Weapon: QAAMLocation: 17-MAY-95, Mount Ivrea

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// NOTE: Purchase the A-10A Warthog as it will make the ///// make the mission quite easy ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Order Pixy to attack air targets. The important thing to remember in thismission is that you do not have to destroy each and every enemy weapon.You just need to get 16,000 points before time runs out. You may alsoreturn to base to rearm. I recommend you do this if your damage is above80 percent, you have less than 20 missiles, or 0 special weapons. Now,systematically destroy most of the enemy artillery on the way to the controltower. To destroy an 'approach' you must be lined up so that your missile

will go in the hole and not hit the concrete. Now destroy the ControlTower (6 missiles/constant gun hits). Proceed towards the Ramparts. Destroythese and everything around them. Now get to the ACC and destroy all theplanes on the ground. You should have a score of more than 12,000 by now.Destroy some more ground targets or some yellow targets (more points).Once you get 16,000 points, the mission is accomplished. Even if youreturn to base to refuel, follow the same plan.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------MISSION 08 - Merlon / Operation Dynamo----------------------------------------------------------------------------Location: 19-APR-95, Shayne PlainThis mission contains three groups. You can choose which group to flywith as they all have different aims.

Recommended Plane: Mirage 2000D

[08 A] Alpha TeamNeutralise the enemy's defense line. Order Pixy to disperse and attackair targets. Destroy the gunboats with your gun and then proceed toattack the other targets. After destroying all targets, you will be toldto fly towards the Allied transport planes. Don't bother doing this. After5 seconds a short cinematic showing 3 Allied planes being destroyed willappear. Now you must avoid the laser's beam. Continue South. To evade thelaser's beam, simply apply the airbrakes and make a sharp turn left or right

to evade the laser.

[08 B] Beta Team

8/8/2019 Belkan War

14/25

Destroy all targets after giving your wingman the usual order. Afterdestroying all targets, you will be told to fly towards the Allied transportplanes. Don't bother doing this. After 5 seconds a short cinematic showing3 Allied planes being destroyed will appear. Now you must avoid the laser'sbeam. Continue South. To evade the laser's beam, simply apply theairbrakes and make a sharp turn left or right to evade the laser.

[08 C] Theta TeamThe objective here is to shoot down all enemy fighters. There are plentyof them, so make sure you bring a plane with plenty of missiles as well.Continue destroying targets until no more targets appear on the map, andno new ones show up. After destroying all targets, you will be toldto fly towards the Allied transport planes. Don't bother doing this. After5 seconds a short cinematic showing 3 Allied planes being destroyed willappear. Now you must avoid the laser's beam. Continue South. To evade thelaser's beam, simply apply the airbrakes and make a sharp turn left or rightto evade the laser.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Here's an excellent tip from DuRay Petersen for the last part of thismission:

"I have found that if you fly in a zigzag pattern when trying to exit thecombat area in mission 8A, B, or C it is much easier to avoid the laser.Also never let off the afterburners unless you have to turn hard to avoidthe laser.///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

----------------------------------------------------------------------------MISSION 09 - Sword of Annihilation / Operation Judgement----------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommended Plane: F-16C (UGBL)

Recommended Wingman Weapon: QAAMLocation: 23-MAY-95, Tauberg

You will not be able to target in this mission at first because of thejammers in the area. You must destroy the jammers before going forth anddestroying the laser weapon, Excalibur. This is a little harder than itsounds because Excalibur itself is not dormant either. It will fire laserbursts at you. These will be displayed as a red area on your map. You muststay out of the red area to avoid getting grilled. Fly at top speed towardsthe Eastern or Western jammers. Once you get close, point your nose in thedirection of the jammer and fire to missiles or your UGBL to destroyit. Then head to the next closest jammer and repeat. All the time, you mustavoid the laser bursts from Excalibur. Once you destroy all thejammers, head towards the weapon itself. Target Excalibur. It will needeight missiles to destroy. After that systematically destroy all the otherartillery and the smaller laser beamers. In the end, aim 10 missiles at themid-section of Excalibur to destroy it. After this, your mission isaccomplished!

Brilliant tip from DuRay Petersen:

"Enter the mission in any plane with FAEB's (from now on they'll be FAE's).Head directly towards any jammer, preferably the one to the far right or left.Instead of taking it out right away and risking hits for AA, just drop anFAE on top of the area. Do the same for the rest of the areas, then head back

to clean up the jammers. Once that's done, you can head for Excalibur itself.Personally, just because i get tired of dodging them, i would drop an FAE onevery single rail artillery piece I see. This won't destroy them, but

it will make it easier for you to get them the next time around"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------MISSION 10 - Mayhem / Operation Battle Axe----------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommended Plane: F-15C (QAAM)Recommended Wingman Weapon: QAAM

Location: 28-MAY-95, B7R

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// NOTE: Sell all your aircraft, and buy the 15-C and ///// QAAM's for it as well ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Order Pixy to attack air targets. This is a purely air to air mission.Once you gain about 7,000 to 8,000 points, an ace squadron dependingon your ace style will show up:

MERCENARY : Shwarze Squadron {Mig-31}

SOLDIER : Schnee Squadron {F-14D x4, EA-6B x1}KNIGHT : Silber Squadron {F-4E x1, F-16C x4}

As usual do not fire special weapons at the enemy aces unless you have avery good angle. Shoot down the aces to complete the mission.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------MISSION 11 - The Inferno / Operation Cannibal----------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommended Plane: F-15C (QAAM)Recommended Wingman Weapon: QAAMLocation: 1-JUN-95, Hoffnung

Order Pixy to do the usual things. Destroy all air and ground targets.Once the mission updates appear, destroy the jammer to clear your radar.Destroy all stealth craft to complete the mission.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------MISSION 12 - The Stage of Apocalypse / Operation Ravage----------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommended Plane: SU-37 (XLAA)Recommended Wingman Weapon: UGBLLocation: 1-JUN-95, Hoffnung

//////////////////////////////////////// NOTE: Buy an SU-37 Terminator ///////////////////////////////////////

No, I'm not joking. Load Pixy with bombs, and you'll see why during thelatter half of the mission. Try and shoot all of the targets as fast asyou can. After five minutes / when you shoot down the bombers, you seea bright light and the sky turns a ghostly colour. Then comes the soundof a nuclear explosion and your aircrafts electronics go haywire. A missilealert message appears on the screen but this is false. Now Pixy becomes yourenemy. Dodge his missiles and keep away from him as you fly towards theenemy craft. (Now you understand why I warned you not to arm him with QAAMsor XLAA's!). Destroy the enemy craft to complete the mission.

come up. You will be engaging a different squadron depending on your acestyle:

MERCENARY : Sorcerer Squadron {F-15/S MTD x8}SOLDIER : Gault Squadron {Su-47 x8}KNIGHT : Wizard Squadron {F-16XL x4, YF-23A x4}

Battle and defeat the aces to complete the mission.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------MISSION 17 - The Valley of Kings----------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommended Plane: SU-37 (XLAA)Recommended Wingman Weapon: XMAALocation: 31-DEC-95, Avalon Dam

In the ravine, apply full thrust and try to get to the dam as fast as youcan. If you can destroy enemy artillery while you're at it, that's great,however, I didn't bother doing so except for a few SAMs and some planes

I locked on to with my XLAA's. When you get to the dam, fly in to theopening that leads underground. Be very careful, because even if you makea slight mistake you'll touch the walls and die. On the first sector,destroy as many targets as you can. Even if you can't destroy all of them,go on to the seond sector and repeat. After killing targets in the thirdsector, fly out, make a 360 degree turn. Fly in again and destroy all theremaining targets in all three sectors and fly out again. Fly in for thefinal time and aim at the first V2 control section. Fire two missiles atit to destroy it and do the same for the remaining to sectors. Fly outagain and the mission is accomplished.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------MISSION 18 - Zero / Operation Point Blank

----------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommended Plane: SU-37 (XLAA)Recommended Wingman Weapon: No wingmanLocation: 31-DEC-95, Avalon Dam

This mission may seem very challenging at first, but rest assured that youwill be able to complete it in the end. You will start out facing Pixyhead-on. DO NOT fire your XLAA's at him right now because he will evadethem easily. Instead, switch to missiles and fly towards him. When you arewithin range, shoot two missiles at him and then try your best to stayon his tail. Shoot only when you get a good angle though, because youwill have to make use of the same missiles in the other two phases. Shootat him 6 times to end the phase. Do the same in phase two, evading theburst missiles that he is shooting at you till the cinematic.After the cinematic, you will be facing each other head-on again.Fire away when you are within range. Then keep flying straight and turnaround whenever you can face him head-on. When you get a lock-on at headon, immediately shoot and dive up or down because he will also shoot at you.Shoot six missiles head-on to complete the third and final phase.

Congratulations, Galm 1, your campaign is complete!

I salute you, Demon Lord of the Round Table!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS [CRD]-----------------------------------------------------------------------

+-------------------------------------------------------------------+Q) Is PJ Dead? ---------------- A) This question has been posted to death on the GameFAQs message

board. Yes, PJ is dead. The flowers next to the bodworky of a planepropped up next to a tree is PJ's grave. The laser that Pixy sends through is plane blows the bottom part of the plane off and it almost certainly made it through to the cockpit. Way back, one of Namco's officials confirmed this, so no more debate for us gamers then. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+

+-------------------------------------------------------------------+Q) What do the symbols displayed under a plane's name signify? -------------------------------------------------------------- A) The symbols represent the kill tally of a plane.

[1 PACMAN FIGURE] - 100 kills [1 GHOST] - 10 kills [1 PELLET] - 1 kill NOTE: The Pacman figures will only appear if you have more than 765 kills with that aircraft. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+

+-------------------------------------------------------------------+Q) How do I unlock the other difficulty modes? ---------------------------------------------- A) Once you complete campaign mode in Hard Difficulty level, you

unlock Expert difficulty level. Completing Expert difficulty level unlocks Ace difficulty level, the hardest difficulty level in the game. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+

+-------------------------------------------------------------------+Q) I'm stuck on one mission. What should I do? ---------------------------------------------- A) Read my guide carefully. Follow all the steps I have outlined and try again. If you are stuck at a particular point, try e-mailing me with your predicament or post on the Ace Combat Zero forum for help. And most importantly, keep trying! +-------------------------------------------------------------------+

+-------------------------------------------------------------------+Q) I want to be a soldier, but I am always a knight or a mercenary!------------------------------------------------------------------ A) Try to to balance it out at the end of each mission. If you are a mercenary after the end of a mission, spare all neutral targets in the next mission so that the bar will slide towards the soldier ace style. Try sparing about half of the neutral targets and destroying half. After mission 14, no neutral targets will appear, so you have till mission fourteen to decide which kind of ace you want to be. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+

+-------------------------------------------------------------------+Q) Why do I face different ace squadrons on different ace styles?

8/8/2019 Belkan War

25/25

----------------------------------------------------------------- A) Mercenaries, Soldiers, and Knights will all face different enemies. Mercenaries will face the hardest enemy squadrons, while knights will face the easiest foes. Soldiers face harder targets than knights but easier enemies than mercenaries. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+

+-------------------------------------------------------------------+Q) From where can I download the soundtracks of the game? --------------------------------------------------------- A) A good place to download all soundtracks of the game is http://gh.ffshrine.org/soundtracks/6727 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
