ITEMS TO GET: Golden Vest, ExecutorGown

   You'll wind up in Merkava, with convient save and character change points. Save the game right now, before making any equipment modifications (so you have your original equipment in case you screw up). Put Citan and Maria in your party, then go east two screens to find Johnny. Make sure all your current party members the best Frame, then change all their engines to the S50-6600 (because of its higher Fuel level) and their armor to Z Alloy 60/25 (for ether defense). Equip everyone with a Frame HP30 (not anything higher, they use up too much Fuel!), Ether Ar+3 (Johnny sells them), and some sort of Beam defense item (the stronger the better, obviously).

   Now, go north from the room you started and you'll encounter Ramsus in a brand new Gear, Amphysvena (maybe they meant "emphysema"?). After a lot of dialogue, Ramsus attacks. The trick here is to save fuel, because you'll need it for the battle that's just after this one. Ramsus will start off by using his Wave #3 Demiser to drop all your characters to 1 HP. Have everyone use their Frame HP to recharge, then start attacking. Weltall-2 should use System Id ONCE (any more will use up too much Fuel) and the customary Kishins. You want to save fuel, so don't use Boosters, and don't heal (if someone dies, just reset). When he's almost down, Ramsus will use Wave #3 Demiser again. Have each character use their Frame HP again, then quickly finish him off before he can hurt you. You'll win a Golden Vest and 50,000 G, and then immediately fight against Miang's Opiomorph.

   This is THE toughest fight in the game. Miang's defense will go up every time you hit her, and when it gets high enough, she'll cast Wave #4 Devastator, doing around 2500 damage to the party, and then reset her stats. And after you do enough damage to her, Miang's defense and Ether power will rise continually, and she will cast Wave #4 Devastator on every turn... ouch. Basically, what you want to do is have Weltall-2 use System Id and attack with Kishin (off course!). The Opiomorph can only be hit with X button attacks when its defense is at minimum (at the very start of the battle, or just after it casts Wave #4 Devastator); use them any other time and they will miss (so use Square attacks instead). Healing takes precedence over attacking -- after all, if you're dead, you can't attack at all. The advantage to having weak frame HPs is that you can heal without worrying about maxing out your HP and thus wasting fuel. I can almost guarantee this battle will take you several tries, but keep trying and refining your strategy and you should eventually manage to win (if anybody has any additional tips for here, let me know), netting you a well-deserved 60,000 (or so) EXP and the Executor Gown armor.
