In order to do this trick you must have a VS with two empty arms as well as two Gatlin guns. Attach both guns to each side of the VS and fire only one of the guns a few times. Then, start firing the second gun. If done correctly, one of the guns will reload while the other is firing and repeat, causing the guns to never stop firing until you run out of bullets or manually reload. This works well against any Akrid Boss, especially the one in Mission 05.

Hold L2 + L1 + R2 + R1 + Square + Triangle + Circle during the ending sequence before "Test Player" is reached to control Wayne's LP-9999 VS. You can fly to the destroyed Akrid.

Gather as much thermal energy as possible before youfight the worm. To get more thermal energy, destroy the surroundingheat tankards and activate the outpost. If you need more thermalenergy, just kill the surrounding flying Akrid and their spawnpoints. Get a sled VS and attach either a rocket launcher or gatlinggun (recommended). Ride it just to the entrance of the Snow Plain.If you ride it any further the worm will knock you off and destroythe VS. Once you get off the sled VS, take off the weapon youbrought with you. The gatling gun is recommended because if youmiss you can adjust your aim and keep shooting him unlike therocket launcher. Wait until he emerges from the snow and be readyfor him to either growl or charge at you. If he charges and hitsyou, you are dead. You can either roll to the left or right. Afterthe roll aim at his sides and you will see several weak points.Shoot at them until they explode and reveal a reddish boil. Continueto do this until they are all gone then switch sides. Once heis hurt enough he may start shooting flaming balls that explodefrom his backside. Be ready to evade them. Once again you willsee more weak points. Do the same thing as done with his headside and he will eventually die. When he dies he will leave behinda large deposit of thermal energy. The worm will re-appear nomatter how many times you kill it. Also the achievement for killingit will not appear until you complete the level.

When the battle first starts, notice the VS will fly around, doing various little spinning attacks. Fly towards him. While doing this, hold L2  or LT  Xbox 360  then release when next to the Boss (to do a horizontal slash). This takes a rather sufficient amount of health from the Boss. Upon doing this occasionally you can also score a second hit, but be cautious of the homing missiles. The Boss will dart around shooting little lasers at you. This is easily avoidable; simply follow in his direction to miss the attack totally. Be aware, when the boss reaches around 30% health it will call up two laser weapons. These will do massive damage if they hit you. One is horizontal, and the other is vertical. Notice when he gets ready for this attack that he will throw his arms forward. This is your cue to get as far back as possible. The range on the lasers are fairly weak. When he is done, he will stand still for a brief moment and shoot missiles from his shoulders. Usually this is your cue to go in; the choice is yours to do so. The Boss does not have much of a pattern. Remember to hold L2  or LT  Xbox 360   until you are directly on him and release. About nine well placed slashes are required to defeat the Boss.

First, gather up as much thermal energy as possible.On your way up the mountain make sure to destroy all of the Akridhives. Get the rocket launcher on the metal slab jutting out ofthe mountain. You can also grab the large VS laser if you wanta back up. Next, climb to the top of the mountain but do not gointo the cave. Stand at the top and wait for the moth to fly overyou. Aim at the orange weak spots then shoot the tail part withyour rocket launcher about two times. After the tail falls offdo the same to the wings. A few more weak spots should appearnear the top of his head. These are easier to hit with a chargedlaser shot. When the moth crashes into the side of the mountainthe achievement will not appear. However you will bet it afteryou complete the mission.

Charge it up. When you get close to whatever you wantto hit, just release it for a hit. This is easier than pressingit at the spur of the moment, because it sometimes misses.

Successfully complete the game.
