Geofront A2 Sector Monster Extermination

Learn how to start and complete the Geofront A2 Sector Monster Extermination request in The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero. Defeat the Golden Cricket and protect KeA!

Alright, so you're tackling the hidden requests in the Intermission, huh? This one, the Geofront A2 Sector Monster Extermination, is a bit tricky to find since the SSS Computer is out of commission. You'll need to do some legwork to pick it up!

How to Start:

First things first, you can't get this request from the computer. Instead, head over to the Police Department (CPD) in the Administrative District. Once you're inside, chat with Receptionist Rebecca. You'll need to talk to her twice. After the second conversation, she'll let you know about the monster sighting, and the request will pop up in your Detective Notebook. Easy peasy!

Walkthrough:

Now, let's get this done. You'll need to head back to the Geofront. Remember how to get to the A section? Good! Start at Station Street, enter the Geofront, and make your way to the Recharge Station. From there, head east, then north past the first elevator. Take the second elevator you find; it'll descend to A2. Once you exit that room, head south, and you'll find the Golden Cricket waiting for you on a large platform.

Enemy Info:

Strategy:

This fight isn't too bad, but there's a crucial detail: KeA is with you, and if she falls, it's game over. So, right before the battle starts, make sure to position your main party members at the front of the Tactics screen. KeA will act as a support, either boosting your Strength and Speed or summoning Zeit to deal some damage. She's not your main attacker here, so focus on keeping her safe.

The Golden Cricket's most dangerous move is called Dissonance. It's a big Area of Effect (AoE) attack that can hit for about 650+ HP and also inflicts Strength Down. To avoid taking massive damage and that nasty debuff, make sure your main party members are spread out and nowhere near the Golden Cricket when it uses this. Thankfully, the Golden Cricket is susceptible to Blind. If Randy is your partner, definitely use his Crash Bomb to inflict Blind!

If Elie or Tio is your partner, focus on using high-level Fire Arts against the Golden Cricket, as it's weak to Fire. And as always, don't forget about S-Breaks, especially if you've managed to save up 200 CP. The Golden Cricket only has around 5008 HP on Normal difficulty, so it shouldn't take too long to defeat. Just keep an eye on KeA and you'll be fine!
