Namco Museum Essentials

Ace Pilot - Destroy 500 air enemies in a single playthrough. The Area you get it on will vary depending on how many of them you miss. Just keep killing them and you will get the stamp eventually.

Andor Genesis - See Andor Genesis at end of Area 4. To beat him drop a bomb in the the middle of it inside the dark circle. His head will pop out at the middle and you will then need to drop another bomb into the middle of it to defeat it. Here is an image of him.


Area 4 - Reach area 4. See Area 16.

Area 8 - Reach area 8. See Area 16

Area 16 - Reach area 16. Simple enough just reach area 16. Your going to need to be a good bullet dodger and you will need to be on constant alert to get this far. Just keep trying and you'll get it. If you die you can go to the Xevious menu and start from the last level you died on by going to 1P START AT and going to the furthest level you have. Also you can change the number of lives you have to 5 by going into the options menu.

Backfire - Destroy an enemy while another one is behind your ship. Fly around and when you encounter a group of enemies fly around one of them into the middle of the screen so that the ship is behind you and kill an enemy. This is the easiest stamp for Xevious

Blaster Master - Destroy 100 ground enemies in a single playthrough. The Area you get it on will vary depending on how many of them you miss. Just keep killing them and you will get the stamp eventually.

Destroy Grobda - Destroy one of the tanks that moves when shot at. This is definitly the hardest stamp in Xevious. Grobda is in Stage 16. After you fly for about 45 seconds you will see 4 tanks. 3 are in a backwards L shaped formation while the other is behind the others and to the left. That is the one you need to kill. Whenever you put your aimer on it it goes forward very fast making it very hard to hit. You need to anticipate him hitting your bomb. You need to shoot the bomb in front of him the slightest bit and then put your aimer on him so he rides right into the bomb. This will take practice but you will eventually get it.

Full Destruction - Destroy every part of the Andor Genesis before defeating it. At the end of Area 4 you will encounter Andor Genesis. He shoots out of the red lights on his ship. Shoot all four red lights on his ship before destroying him to get the stamp. As soon as you see him try to shoot one of the parts to him so there is a little less bullets flying around everywhere. Proceed to take out the other part on the same side of it. Now there is 2 parts to it left. There shouldn't be too much bullet fire coming at you now so just destroy the other 2 parts when you find an opening. Shoot a bomb in its center to destroy it. This boss has a time limit and can fly away. Even though you might have destroyed all of the parts, if it flies away before you completely destroy it you won't get the stamp.

Sheonite - See Sheonite at the end of Area 9. This is what it looks like . It's is indestructible so you only need to see it to get the stamp. 2 Sheonite will come and fly around your ship for a second or two, join together and then fly away. You can't miss him.

Sol Citadel - Find a Sol Citadel. Sol Citadels are hidden from your sight until you bomb the spot where one is. There are 5 sets of Citadels through out the game. Bomb a spot where one is to reveal it and get the stamp. Here are images of the locations.


Special Flag - Find a special flag. Like the Citadels these Special Flags are hidden from plain site until you bomb the area. Flags appear in the same area but not the same spot every time. They are in the same spot vertically but not horizontally meaning, the Flags location can change in terms of left and right but not up and down. So when you get to one of the locations just go from left to right bombing the area. There are 4 Flags, one in Area 1, one in Area 3, one in Area 5 and one in Area 7. Here are images where the flags are going in this order: Area 1, Area 3, Area 5, Area 7.


The easiest stamps for Xevious Rookie are Backfire, Sol Citadel, Sheonite and Andor Genesis.
