websites that may have additional cheat codes, hints, or tips for Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner.
Defeating Nohman
When you encounter Nohman after fighting Viola's A.I. Data, do not run up to him. Block his lasers if needed. Shoot normal lasers at him. When he teleports to you, you will know what to do.
Using Jehuty's Burst attack efficiently
For multiple aiming of Jehuty's Burst, hold R2 + Left or Right to dash. While dashing, hold Square to aim in all directions to get your target locked on. Release Square, then fire. Note: The Burst attack is effective when destroying a swarm of Wisps or small projectile attacks.
Defeating Nephtis
When you encounter Nephtis at the power plant on Mars, grab a solar panel on one of the towers. Wait until she charges up her dash attack and guard with the solar panel. She will be stunned for a few seconds. Attack her until she starts moving again. Repeat this process until she is defeated.
When you fight Nephtis inside a giant force field, wait for her to charge up her dash attack. As soon as she attacks, dash out of the way and she will hit the force field and become stunned. Attack her until she breaks free of the force field. Repeat this until she is dead. Note: Be sure not to run into the force field while attacking her.
When Nephtis is inside the tower like area, use the Geyser to stun the Clods and grab them and then wait for Nephtis to attack. Guard with the Clod and Nephtis will be stunned, attack her until she starts moving again. If the Clod tries to break free use Burst to keep them from escaping.
When Nephtis's AI infects Ardjet, dodge any of her long range attacks, then when she is done move into melee. Wait for Ardjet to swing at you, then deflect her attack by slashing at the correct moment. Deflect the sword four times and she will become stunned. Grab and hold her while ADA deletes the AI. Repeat until she is defeated.
Special CG Picture
Clear the game with the rank of S or SS, you will see a picture of Dingo and Ken
at the overall ranking results after the credits.
Alternate appearance
Successfully complete the game to unlock more versions of Jehuty.
Anubis: Extra attacks
When using the Anubis or Aumaan Anubis in versus mode, rotate the Left Analog-stick counterclockwise to have Anubis hit its opponent eight or more times, depending on how fast you rotate it, instead of the usual four with its spear.
Auman Anubis
Successfully complete the game and save the game. Instead of starting a new game, load your completed game file. Proceed to the location where you had to open two locks to open a gate. When you get the choice, move towards the left path. Locate the Metatron on the far west side of the left path on your map. Go to the Metatron. There is a dead end behind it. Fly close to it and look for cracks on that wall. Shoot this part of the wall, then enter the tunnel that is revealed. Defeat Anubis and collect his icon to unlock Auman Anubis. Note: You will have to fight Nepthtis immediately after this battle.
Defeating the Train
When you fight the Train, you will have to destroy all the carts in five minutes. To destroy a cart, target its weapons and use homing missiles to destroy them. Once all of a cart's weapons are destroyed, it will explode and a fleet of enemies will attack. Use Gauntlet to knock enemies into the walls and out of range. The first and fourth cart have machine guns, the second has laser beams, and the third has machine guns and a massive laser cannon that is easy to avoid. The fifth cart is defenseless.
Alternate ending sequence
Successfully complete the game with an "A", "S", or "SS" rank to unlock new pictures after the credits.
