How to unlock the Complete Episode 2 achievement in LOST PLANET 2 - Definitive Guide
Episode 2 has next to no Akrid throughout its three chapters, so choose weapons appropriate for killing soldiers and VSs. There is one boss in the episode, Akrid X (2-3).
Episode Boss – Akrid X
Akrid X is the Episode Boss for Episode 2, who is a huge 4-legged spider Akrid, effectively a larger version of the Chryatis. His weak points are the cores on his four legs, as well as his mouth. The cores on his legs will start off with a rocky layer protecting them, so you simply have to destroy these before getting to the delicious core inside. Same as with Gordiant, your only real options for beating Akrid X are either using the weapons found throughout the area, or using the GAH-42BS Bleed or GAF-15D Drion VSs. Your safest option here is to use the Drion Multi-seat VS. It can be used with one or three people if you want, but the best option here is using two people. This way you can still deal decent damage to him and not have him Akrid X focusing on your Drion, as only half the team will be in the Drion. Basically all you have to do is stay a moderate distance from Akrid X and fire away with your infinite-ammo Vulcan and Shotgun, all the while watching out for his leg sweep attack, and his fireballs. Once his health bar reaches zero, he will collapse. Don’t be fooled though, he soon gets up for round two. This shouldn’t be too daunting, as his second stage is incredibly weak, if not slightly more aggressive. Continue to pummel him with whatever you are using and he should fall in no time, and this time he will be out for the count.
End boss: Akrid X
At first go this fight may seem somewhat overwhelming, but with the right strategy you will have this flying, headless bug eating out of your hand. First off, be careful getting there, this stage is loaded with snipers that can easily kill you, depending on the difficulty level. Once the battle starts, have one guy go collect all of the VS rocket ammo he can. While he is doing this, you try to grab some Gatling gun ammo and run over to the VS and just use it as a turret on the ground (along the wall to the right of the train).
Basically, your friend concentrates on blasting him with rockets while you, sit on the turret and picks him apart. On the turret, one of your weapons has unlimited ammo, this should be firing at all times. It does weak damage, but never runs out! Use your Gatling gun a bit more sparingly. Pay close attention to when he flies on top of the building to the turret's right side. This is a good opportunity to do some good up close damage. Your turret will take all the damage, if it gets low just jump out and do some quick repairs.
Word of warning, don't be fooled by his first death, he comes back after you drain his initial health!
