Hey there! So, you're diving into Panzer Dragoon Remake and want to know more about the story? Awesome! The Panzer series is famous for its deep lore, and this game is no exception. They really went all out crafting this universe, even creating a timeline that stretches back nearly 90 years before the games even start. It's intricate, emotional, and honestly, one of the coolest parts of the whole experience. Let's get into it!

A Quick Heads-Up: The story we're about to cover takes place *before* the original Panzer Dragoon. Also, there are some major spoilers ahead, so you've been warned!

Okay, so picture this: thousands of years ago, humanity was at its peak, but they messed around with their own bio-weapons. These genetically engineered creatures eventually turned on their creators, pushing humanity to the brink of extinction. Now, people are just trying to survive and claw back some of their lost power, constantly battling these creatures.

Over time, humans started to adapt. They even tamed some of the less dangerous creatures, like the Coolias. These were small, harmless critters used for work and as personal mounts. The villages that raised Coolias had super strict rules, especially about any mutant Coolias born with a strange blue-white light in their throats – they were killed immediately, seen as bad omens. But, as you might guess, not all of them were killed...

Enter Lundi, a young guy who secretly defied his village's code and raised one of these mutant Coolias. He named him Lagi, and this little guy had a secret weapon: wings! Lagi was growing fast, and Lundi dreamed they'd fly together, maybe even show the village that mutant Coolias weren't so bad after all.

Well, Lundi's dream was about to get a whole lot more intense. One day, out on an outcrop called Elpis, Lagi was trying to get the hang of flying. He was picking up speed, almost lifting off, when suddenly, a massive white ship appeared overhead. It unleashed a blinding flash of light that wiped out Elpis Village, leaving nothing but ruins. Lundi had seen Imperial battleships before, but this white craft was something else entirely.

Lundi had no idea why his village was destroyed, but he knew he had to do something. To his surprise, Lagi let out a cry and fired those mythical

The biggest tip for getting good shot down %'s is to actually watch the radar more then the screen. As soon as you see a yellow dot on the radar rotate around to it an blast it out of the sky, continuously watching the radar for any new blips. You're going to have to be fast in your camera rotating, which is another other key, because it often moves slowly or not at all if you press L or R twice too rapidly. Try to play through every level multiple times before you go for a total 100% game and MEMORIZE it, try to have your camera rotated towards the next enemy group BEFORE the enemy even appears and shot it down as fast as possible. Memorize, memorize, memorize...

A slight strategy for Panzer Zwei ONLY is to just take the easiest route. If you're just going for 100% on every stage then don't worry about the Route Points and take the easiest route with the least amount of enemies. Or you can be hardcore and still do it by taking the harder routes...

SPOILER WARNING - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Without any second thought Lundi and Lagi decide to follow the enormous white ship that murdered so many of his friends and family with the simple task of revenge on Lundi's mind. Their chase took them right through the rubble of the village where Lundi found a working gun among the wreckage. After entering the village a mysterious dragon showed up and then attacked Lagi, clipping him in the air after taking flight to chase after the white ship. Was the other dragon protecting the ship?

A little before the attack on his village in the Empire's Capital City of Teito, the Emperor had decided to make his move and chase the mysterious white ship that had also been sighted by them for reasons only the Emperor knew.

It was later theorized after an investigation that the Shellcoof, the name that was given to the ancient white ship, seemed to react to the presence of all the Coolias in the village and attacked them. Later the Shellcoof was also basically accepted as being a floating Tower and the Guardian Dragon was it's protector.

IIIa2...Level guide - The Destroyed Elpis Village

Episode 1 is a basic starting level with no real tricky parts or points (Clear, Route, or Tech) to earn. So just fool around and get used to everything if you have never played a Panzer game before.

Right when you get control of Lagi nail the 4 flying guys in front of you then use Lundi's gun to destroy the shed on your right. Throughout this whole level there are a ton of destroyable items that give you points, sheds and wind mills and stuff like that so anytime you have a chance to nail something do it. There is a cool secret way to get tons of points on this stage but I'll tell you about it later.

After walking forward a little more 2 more flying enemies will be in front of you with another shed to the right again and 2 straight ahead near where one of the flying things was.

A few more steps afterwards a cinema will happen and the dragon will fly in front of you and up to the Shellcoof, dropping a huge boulder behind you. As soon as you get control again keep hitting the boulder with your regular gun (you face it automatically) until it blows up. In it's wake 3 more flying guys will fly out of where its center was so be ready and use your laser on them.

Lagi will run for a little while longer between some buildings then get to a slightly open area in which there will be 3 more flying guys flying around a shed.

Keep facing forward and shoot the stationary enemy that will appear before you. These enemies take 6 lock-ons to kill and they only have 2 lock-on points each so you'll have to lock-on to it 3 times to kill them (the Hatchling's max lock-on is 2). After it's destroyed quickly switch to the right view...see that big black ship in the sky flying past you? That's your gold mine. Quickly turn forward and kill the next 2 stationary enemies that appear ahead of you then IMMEDIATLY switch to your left view and shoot your brains out, nailing the black ship with as many regular bullets as possible and watch the score (if you have full instruments turned on in the options) grow. Watch your radar because there's going to be another stationary enemy appearing in front of you soon so take a break and kill it then return to shooting the black ship.

For the entire rest of the level just keep shooting the ship nonstop. An enemy will appear ahead of you but you can't hurt it (it's the Episode 3 boss) and it won't hit you so don't even look, just keep shooting the ship. Stage over.

Revenge was the only thing on Lundi's mind. Deciding to follow the ship no matter what he began his chase which ended up going straight through a Meccania e
