About Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to
certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in
video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may
have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic
seizures” while watching video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms including: lightheadedness,
altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss
of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or
striking nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these
symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above
symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience
these seizures.
The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by sitting farther
from the television screen, using a smaller television screen, playing in a well-lit
room, and not playing when you are drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a
doctor before playing.
Other Important Health and Safety Information. The Xbox Instruction
Manual contains important safety and health information that you should read
and understand before using this software.
Avoid Damage to Your Television
Do not use with certain televisions. Some televisions, especially front- or
rear-projection types, can be damaged if any video games, including Xbox
games, are played on them. Static images presented during the normal course of
game play may “burn in” to the screen, causing a permanent shadow of the
static image to appear at all times, even when video games are not being played.
Similar damage may occur from static images created when placing a video game
on hold or pause. Consult your television owner’s manual to determine if video
games can be safely played safely on your set. If you are unable to find this
information in the owner’s manual, contact your television dealer or the
manufacturer to determine if video games can be played safely on your set.
Unauthorized copying, reverse engineering, transmission, public performance,
rental, pay for play, or circumvention of copy protection is strictly prohibited.

Contact with Tir na Nog, one of the British Empire’s colonized planets,
has recently been suspended. The Imperial Space Force, head security
of this planet, reported that there were no colonists to be found in the
residential sections of Tir na Nog. This verifies earlier reports that the
colonists have disappeared. In their place, the Imperial Space Force
has confirmed an abnormal outbreak of huge insect-like life forms.
Our information also tells us that prior to Dr. Hebble Gate's disappearance, he was interested in researching how to genetically modify and
strengthen the Tir na Nog colonists.
I shall avoid making a prompt conclusion of what this means. The fact
is, these hordes of insects clearly are hostile and have murderous
intent for all humans. They are considered very ferocious, and have a
strong will to live.
The reports received from the Imperial Space Force give us reason to
execute the official order to dispatch GV Teams, both from the Hebble
Foundation and the Axis of Europe. We shall move on to investigate
and resolve the incident in Tir na Nog immediately.
We must eliminate
all elements that threaten
the prosperity of the British Empire.
STORY
1906 A.D., British Empire
I shall now explain to you what is known up to this point, and what is
speculated.
Since the approach of Halley’s Comet in 1835, the technological
advances in numerous fields have been astounding. The person of merit,
Dr. Hebble Gate, was the man behind the organization GV (GUNVALKYRIE),
and the leader of the Hebble Foundation. Everybody knows the famous
scientist Dr. Hebble Gate, yet nobody knows how he mysteriously disappeared. Now four years have passed and the world is still in shock.
You may have read the speculations and gossip stirring in the yellow
journalism and popular science magazines. Some report he was assassinated by third world terrorists, while others believe he was abducted
by alien life forms. They know nothing. The situation is worse than they
can imagine.

High Mobility attacks with Boost Actions
The insect-like enemy creatures on the Planet Tir na Nog are full of surprises.
They’re known for attacking in hordes, usually flying overhead, wearing a thick
exoskeleton for protection. To counter them, you must gain the advantage by making
full use of your GV Gearskin, and the special power of Halley’s Chosen. Master
the techniques described here, and accomplish your missions. We wish you good
luck.

To prevent the proliferation and misuse of Hebble Technology and to keep new
world order, Dr. Hebble Gate founded the GUNVALKYRIE (GV) organization
along with the Axis of Europe. These organizations are comprised of Halley’s
Chosen from all over the world. Their superhuman abilities and armaments
represent the best of Hebble Technology. The mobility and attacking ability of
the GV Team (consisting of two members) is equal to one armored division.

After the approach of Halley’s Comet in 1835, an unknown substance called Halley
Core was found throughout the world. It has been discovered that this substance
contains vast amounts of energy, and it has the ability to affect the DNA structure of
any life form it comes in contact with. On a side note, there are still many mysteries
that remain unsolved about the origins or effects of Halley Core.
Few beings have the superhuman ability to retrieve the Halley Core. Such persons
are called Halley’s Chosen. Who was the first of Halley’s Chosen? Dr. Hebble
Gate himself.
KEYWORD
Halley’s Chosen

Hebble Technology was created in 1870, and the speed at which it changed
the world is still far from comprehensible. A technology was developed that
converted tremendous amounts of energy from an unknown substance called
the Halley Core. This substance fell to Earth when Halley’s Comet passed
near the Earth’s orbit in 1835. Dr. Hebble Gate is the man responsible for its
discovery and the ensuing technological advances.

Weapons
The weapons each GV is equipped with can be switched with the X, Y and B buttons.
Every weapon has its own unique attributes, and it will be necessary to switch weapons
depending on the enemy, and the conditions of each stage.
Weapon assigned to X button (for Kelly only)
Drive Gun
This is a weapon obtained in the first mission, and can only
be used by Kelly. It is a large weapon with more firepower
than the Heat Blaster, and will limit her mobility severely. On
the ground, it can only be used while standing still, and in
the air Kelly will assume a hovering stance (Boost Combos
will be cancelled as well). If you press the X button while it
is already selected, you can switch between diffused shot
(shooting in wide range) and pinpoint shot.
Weapons assigned to Y button
Heat Blaster (Kelly)
This is a basic weapon for Kelly. While its firepower is low,
she can attack and still maintain her mobility. By holding the
right trigger and setting the sight, she can lock onto
enemies for a homing attack (release the right trigger to
fire). Use the Heat Blaster in conjunction with a Boost
Combo (p.14) to temporarily increase its firepower.
Matchlock Cannon (Saburouta)
This is a basic weapon for Saburouta, with greater firepower
than the Heat Blaster. Although its range is rather short and
cannot be fired in succession, it will home in on the
locked-on enemy (only when standing still or hovering). Use
the Matchlock Cannon in conjunction with a Boost Combo
(p.14) to temporarily increase its firepower.
Weapon assigned to B button
Plasma Hook (Kelly and Saburouta)
During the mission, you will sometimes face insurmountable
walls and platforms. Use the Plasma Hook to reach areas
you normally wouldn’t be capable of with the Boost Jump
alone. The Plasma Hook can also be used as an effective
weapon on some enemies.
NEXT STAGE NEXT STAGE

The Gearskin is a specially reinforced suit for GV Commandos, developed
by Dr. Hebble Gate. Using the energy from a Halley Core, this powerful electromagnetic armor is designed to lessen damage by diverting the kinetic
energy of any attack and dispersing it throughout the suit’s exterior. The suit
is structured like a central nervous system with inside conduction wires
called Progressive Filament. It controls the output of the Halley Core energy.
When that energy is suddenly focused upon, say for instance, in the heat of
battle, it activates GV Napalm.
KEYWORD
Gearskin
1 MISSION TIMER
Displays the elapsed gameplay time from the beginning of the stage. Press the
Black button to display the Mission Timer on screen.
2 CAUTION DIS PLAY
It is displayed whenever there is an enemy nearby. You can perform a Boost
Combo (p.14) when the Caution Display appears on screen.
3 SIGHT
Displays the direction of your weapon when fired. Depending on the weapon, you
can lock onto multiple enemies by moving the sight while pulling and holding
the right trigger. By moving both the left and right thumbsticks, you can
target enemies with the sight more accurately.
4 GV FUEL GAUGE
Displays the current amount of GV Fuel. It is consumed whenever the GV
Napalm is used and cannot be activated if this gauge is depleted. You can regain
fuel by either collecting a GV Fuel Ball or by performing a Boost Combo. Normally
the gauge is hidden off-screen, but will appear when enemies are nearby.
5 BOOST GAUGE/NO. OF BOOST COMBOS
The Boost Gauge depletes whenever a Boost Action other than Hovering is
used. When the gauge depletes to zero, the GV stops their Boost Action and
start to descend (if they are in mid-air). It will recover fully after a period of time.
The number of Boost Combos (p.14) is displayed at the center of the gauge.
6 SHIELD GAUGE
The GV (or player) is equipped with a gauge that displays the endurance power
of their Gearskin. If the gauge drops to zero, you have failed your mission.
Normally it is hidden off-screen, but will appear when enemies are nearby.
7 WEAPON S

Items You Can Collect During a Battle
When you defeat an enemy, occasionally they may drop an item. The item will automatically float towards you whenever you approach it. If you can, try to collect it.
Shield Ball (Red)
Regains the Shield Gauge (p.12) of the Gearskin. Collecting
Shield Balls is essential for withstanding heavy attacks.
GV Fuel Ball (Blue)
Regains the GV Fuel Gauge (p.12) for using GV Napalm.
Perform a Boost Combo
When enemies are nearby (notice the CAUTION Display),
perform a Boost Dash, Side Boost or Back Boost in succession to make a Boost Combo. You must be in mid-air to
use this technique. Try performing several Boost Combos
repeatedly to regain your GV Fuel Gauge or temporarily
powering up the weapon assigned to the Y button.
The Boost Combo count, displayed on the Boost Gauge,
will flash whenever one of the mentioned special effects is
performed.
Note that the Boost Combo will be nullified whenever you
land on the ground, hover, or receive damage. Temporary
power-ups will also end at that time, so take caution.
It’s said that if the GV perform enough Boost Combos, they
enter a mysterious altered state known as the Mobius State.
No one knows for sure what this is exactly…but maybe you
will find out.
Map Screen
Press the White button to display a map of the area and the
objective of the mission. The following indicators are displayed
on the map:

will also be indicated.
Results and GVP
When you clear the mission in the selected stage, your score
and rank will be evaluated according to your achievements.
A percentage of the sum of all scores will be converted to
GVPs (GUNVALKYRIE Points). With this you will be able to
order new parts through the POWER UP SHOP (p.16) on
the Main Menu.
Understanding the Result Screen
For each category, the rank (S through D) is determined
according to the score. The overall rank is determined
by the sum of all categories.
Clear Time
The time it takes to clear the stage. The faster you clear
the stage, the higher the rank you will receive.
Enemies Defeated
The number of enemies defeated in the stage. The points vary according to the types of enemies. The score and the rank will be determined by taking the sum of all enemies defeated.
Boost Technique
Bonus score and rank are determined by the number of enemies defeated by
weapon attacks enhanced with Boost Combos.
Extra Halley Core
A bonus score is given to those who find the hidden Halley Core in each stage.
Clear Bonus
Points are deducted whenever you receive damage. Damage received while performing Boost Combos are double, so use this technique wisely.

Soon after the mysterious disappearance of Dr. Hebble Gate, colonists on the
planet Tir na Nog also disappeared. Coincidentally, after the disappearances,
large masses of insect-like creatures were detected on the planet. It is speculated that most of these insects are actual colonists, whose DNA was
altered by Dr. Hebble Gate. The GV’s mission is to investigate this perplexing
incident.
No conclusions will be made until we receive a report from Lieutenant
Meridian Poe and the Dolphin Team.
KEYWORD
Tir na Nog Case
It is believed that Dr. Hebble Gate genetically altered the Tir na Nog
colonists into insects. If the Halley Core (the ball of energy that holds this
genetic information) is retrieved, there is a possibility that the colonists can
be restored. The cores are presumed to be embedded inside the boss-class
huge insects, but it is also highly possible that they are hidden somewhere in
each stage. Note that the energy wave from the Halley Core can also affect
the GV Gearskin.

Meridian Poe is the only daughter of Dr. Hebble Gate.
Although Poe rarely saw her father during childhood,
she began to notice changes in his
personality and his
warped scientific ideas. One day, he surgically removed
Poe’s head, and dis-
appeared with her body. She miraculously survived, by
being placed in a
special life support system Dr. Hebble Gate left behind.
Of course, Poe
despises her father, but also fears him as a scientist.
She is now 27 years old, and her rank in the GV is Lieutenant. She supports
the Dolphin Team on Tir na Nog from the GUN SH IP in satellite orbit. Her
ambitious nature and leadership skills are extraordinary, but mostly driven by
revenge.

The British Empire aided Dr. Hebble Gate in the early days. Using the
merits of his technology, they soon gained supremacy in the world. After
the Halley Core was discovered, the British Empire took lead of the allied
nations of the AoE, and set forth colonizing the moon and Mars. During
their explorations they discovered a path leading to the depths of outer
space and a new planet to colonize. Tir na Nog.

INSECTS
These are only a few of the insect-like enemies currently found on Tir na Nog.
Don’t be surprised if you encounter more of these types of enemies throughout
your mission. Although you can start your mission right away, it’s important to
gather information on the insects that are found on the stage. Refer to ENEMY
(p.10) on the NEXT STAGE menu.
Freki
This is the most abundant type of insect found on Tir na
Nog. They move in hordes, and attack from various places.
Gungnir
Its exoskeleton makes it hard to destroy and almost impossible
to damage. Aim for places not covered by the exoskeleton.
Leavatain
They attack by dropping bomb-like objects. You should eliminate them first, even if you are battling with other insects.
Muspell
These insects have explosive blood, so take caution when
attacking.
Vidohunir
This type of insect has a very hard shell. The moment they
fire their deadly webs is when you should attack.

Hebble Gate that still remains a mystery. We are hoping to gain new information
through Lieutenant Poe’s report.
Kelly O’Lenmey (22)
Kelly O’Lenmey was born in Ballymun, Ireland. Her bold character and adventurous
spirit was noticeable even at an early age. While wandering in the forest, she
came in contact with the Halley Core and became one of Halley’s Chosen.
Over the years, Kelly developed outstanding abilities and was persuaded by the
Irish republic into fighting for their independence. However this did not last long
because she did not agree with their belief to fight at all costs. After refusing to
carry out an order, she left the cause and sought to become a member of the GV.
Kelly appears to be a rather cool woman, affected by nothing. But deep down she
is a strong idealist. Her quick wit and honed skills make Kelly a key member of the
Dolphin team.
Saburouta Mishima (33)
Saburouta Mishima was born in Southern
Kyushu, Japan. After many years of strict
training, he became a samurai of Meiji
Restoration.
Over this time, he developed a disagreeable personality and was exiled to the
island of Amami Oshima. On the island he
came in contact with the Halley Core and
later discovered his superhuman abilities.
His abilities allowed him to escape to
Honshu by destroying the entire army of
Amami. Shunned by the Imperial Japan for
his militaristic ways, he rebelled by fighting
as a mercenary in a rage of wars and strife.
During this time he was tried unjustly over
a small mistake and was sentenced to
capital punishment. His life was spared by
the GV.
Now he supports Kelley and is an integral
member of the Dolphin Team. Although he
is admired for his skills and dexterity in battle, those who know his background still
consider him both volatile and eccentric.
Hebble Gate (71)
Dr. Hebble Gate was born the first of Halley’s
Chosen in the history of mankind. He was affected
by the Halley Core during the approach of
Halley’s Comet in 1835, while still inside his
mother’s womb.
His superhuman mind and physical abilities
enabled him to develop a way to successfully
convert and harness tremendous amounts of
energy from the Halley Core. His new scientific
accomplishment was soon named Hebble
Technology. With the enormous amount of profits from his inventions, he established
the Hebble Foundation, and organized the GV along with the Axis of Europe. He
is not only an acclaimed scientist but holds great power over economic, political
and military affairs.
Although he is one of the most famous and well-known people in the world, he is
still a mystery to all. Even his only relative, Lieutenant Poe, can only speculate
about his intent behind Hebble Technology.

BATTLE LESSONS
Utilize the Boost Actions and Sight Movements
You will encounter hordes of insect-like creatures on Tir na
Nog. Therefore it is very important to use the Boost Dash
and Boost Combo to move around quickly—whether on the
ground or in the air. Lure the enemies your way and escape
with speed. Then attack them from places where they can’t
reach you, and you will have the advantage. Master this, and
the battle is yours.
Move in high speed with Boost Action, and locate enemies
before they locate you by constantly moving your sight. These
basic rules will help you conquer the masses of insects and
find your way out. If all else fails, investigate and look around
to find your way through. Or use the hover feature to escape
from any critical situation.
Select Your Weapon
Each weapon has its own unique features. It will benefit you to choose the most
effective weapon according to the conditions of the terrain or the enemy you are
fighting. This is very important in accomplishing your missions.
Utilize your Halley’s Chosen Abilities
Sometimes you will encounter situations where you cannot
defeat your enemies with the weapons supplied to you. You
may at times be completely surrounded, or encounter unknown
powerful enemies. For these occasions, release the ability of
Halley’s Chosen without hesitation. Click on both the left and
right thumbstick to activate GV Napalm. With this powerful
move, you can wipe out the enemies surrounding you.
Remember, in order to activate this attack, you will need GV
Fuel. Use your power wisely, for this move is helpful when
escaping desperate situations.
