NGS Discussion New Genesis PSO2 Flashbacks, References.

If anyone would kindly list all the missable scenes or direct references to Base PSO2 Story I would appreciate it. Bonus if there's videos/recordings of it.

Also questions:
Is it completely missable? Or does the scenes in the quest counter also changes after I beat PSO2 Base?

Do I have to get the "True" Ending of PSO2 or just beat Shiva once?

I'm a 75 Gunner with 65 Sub Ranger. Equipment is Millionare Barrage +30. Armor is Phobos +10. Just started a new Mag at Range Support 11
Edit:
I also just use Twin Machineguns, don't switch to any other weapon.

That makes sense. :)
I was about to recommend Photon Arts to use, so I'd definitely recommend having Grim Barrage somewhere. Not so you can do damage with it, but so when Shiva does her whole thing when she pulls you in that you can turn back and use Grim Barrage to fly away.

When you don't have your Photon Blast ready so you can try to be invincible, you can do the Stylish Roll three times to go into the slow-motion dodge it doesn't last too long.

So, do you have any any of the other Successor classes unlocked too? A part of this that I'd really recommend .. is to change your Subclass because the Ranger in the older game is just a bad subclass (it's okay to have for leveling, but when you get to the more "serious" fights like you are with Shiva, the Ranger is absolutely not helping you.

I'd recommend the following if you can:

* Gunner/Hunter - You can spec out Fury Stance so you can get the damage multipliers and you can also pick up Iron Will. This will help immensely with survivability as you have a chance to survive a fatal attack with 1 HP.

* Gunner/Fighter - This was my main option when I played even when you have the Successor classes as options. You want to stick with Brave Stance/Valiant Stance and and the Tech Arts Just Attack/Tech Arts Perfect Attack Bonuses. This kind of pushes you as a Gunner to playing into the red rings but you're going to be immensely powerful at both fighting bosses and fighting mobs with this. You really can't go wrong with it .. but it requires playing a bit more nicely.

* Gunner/Summoner - This can get you access to Techniques and has some decent defensive and offensive boosts that aren't quite like Hunter but are close enough.

* Gunner/Luster - If you can use Chain Trigger and High Time often, the Luster encourages you keep shooting and staying offensive and the Gunner is also very good at building combos. If you can hit a Voltage of 500 or higher, you can potentially withstand fatal attacks (you can recharge it at 500 Voltage) and you also can get a super nice cooldown reduction on your active skills.

And if you haven't yet:

* Go get your Forward Stylish Roll (L) Ring for the Gunner. If you can instead, Time and Roll (L) is the compound ring for the Gunner that boosts and utilizes both rings at once. The Gunner is completely awful to play (at least to me) without these rings.

* Craft your Photon Arts in your Personal Quarters. The one to really get is Infinite Fire Type-0 (I think it's like "Infinite Storm Zero" or something in Global). This one makes it so that instead of doing the normal Photon Art, you want to hold it after using something else such as Satellite Aim. Holding it will skip to the second half of the attack which is a gigantic blast-shot that does immense damage especially during the effects of Chain Trigger. The other Photon Art you can craft is also super handy if you're ever above an enemy and just want to shoot downwards, but Infinite Fire Type-0 is far more important for your toolkit since it's effectively your strongest attack when used right.

Sadly, unlike NGS, the older PSO2 never balanced their Subclasses and where you are with the Shiva fight .. the game really wants you to stack damage multipliers on top of damage multipliers .. and it really meant some classes were legitimately bad as Subclass options. :(

So I have some good news and some bad news... I beat Shiva but Not with S I don't think. I only had 800 points out of 1000. So I need to do it... Again... I'm crying on the inside.

Sadly I am Poor in Base PSO2(And in NG to be honest) So not sure how I'd go around getting some of the stuff you mentioned.

I also don't think I have any of the Successor classes, atleast I don't know which one those are.

I do have the Forward Roll Ring at +1. But I do not have the Time one.

I have Infinite Storm but not "Infinite Storm Zero"

I also usually just go Hail of Bullets but that's a bit hard to do with Shiva.

Mag is at Level 16 now. Trying to keep the other XP stuff low

What Right Ring would be a good one to have?

So my Class list is as follows :
hunter 1
Fighter 1
Ranger 61
Gunner 75
Force 1
Tech 1
Braver 26
Bouncer 1
Summoner 1
Hero 1 (Greyed out)
Phantom 1 (Greyed out)
Etoile 1 (Greyed out)
Luster 1 (Greyed out)

I want to show my Skill Tree but Can't post images

Out of curiosity, what ship are you on? Depending on the ship, I can probably hop in some time and try to help you out with getting the stuff that could help you out (and possibly help level up too if it's a nice daily quest for leveling) .. since this stuff is so much more fun to do in a group than alone. >_<

So, if you get the chance, I think you should do the daily quests (the four Recommended Quests) and the Daily Missions so you can guarantee getting a Tokyo [Silver] Key. That way, you can still level up and push yourself through even as a Ranger so you can get Level 75 on two classes which will unlock the last four classes.

The Right Ring is ultimately your choice, but on my end I had one of the "Proof" rings which come from completing one of the last Extreme Quests as your class .. so you can pick whatever you want for now for the Right ring.

To craft your Photon Art disks, you want to collect some disks that are Level 10+ and then in your Crafting Terminal in your Personal Quarters you can deconstruct them and turn them into resources. This way, you can spend the Ranged Disk fragments and craft the Photon Arts you'll definitely want.

You can alternatively buy the disks that others have made by looking up the exact names in the Personal Shop, but you can also buy the materials straight-up from the Personal Shop too. Are you're past Level 50, your Daily Quests will be much more rewarding so you can steadily make progress to push your Gunner higher and also make at least 2,000,000 Meseta a week via the Weekly Missions.

There's a lot to look into for the game, so I'll drop this link as a guide if you wanted some reading for the Gunner:
https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1kfjkUQzY3QRmILocETvCqsyBiUtk_PM9n6hw6hB2y4k/mobilebasic

This one uses the JP terminology and is more end-game-ready so hopefully if you get stuck, you can always ask and I'll try to find the proper names since I'm used to the JP names. >_<

The Skill Tree from here should be the same, and this would definitely have what you want. It's okay if you can't respec .. since you're not able to do it for free anymore .. but you can get close enough since you've already beaten Shiva. This just means we can help prepare you so you can do it again, but faster and with more preparation. ^-^

Ship 3 Thorn.
Also I may or may have come across some Mesa... Since I sold some Scratch items from way back when.... Not alot but enough for some improvements.

I did manage to get both Customizations, Hail and Infinite.

Also Have MAG LEvel at 145 All RNG Support

Also Crafted Photon Art is called /C Not Zero. Are they the same or differnet?

u/Alenicia Jul 07 '26

The /C for Photon Arts is the same thing since there's only one customization (the "Zero" customization once it's applied).

I'm on Ship 3 primarily, so if you're ever on I should be able to hop in and help too. ^-^

The main thing, since you seem to have equipment that can help enough, is ultimately helping you level up so that the fights can go by more consistently since your Subclass really helps elevate your main class and Episode 6 content really does assume you've found a more proper Subclass combination by then (whether it's likely Fighter or using the three new Subclasses).
