On Inferno, even a basic Erginus will shrug off multiple hits from superweapons like the Tempest S1A, Gungnir or Wild Leviathan. An Erginus on Easy has about one and a half times as much health as a Blue Hector on Inferno. The "charge up" (元) seems to be designed to prevent this, and appears to work something like the "riposte" move for the Fencer tapping it at the correct time during a knockdown will result in a much faster recovery.Įrginuses can in turn be kept in a constant knockdown state using the uppercut combo (right, right, left, right) since either of the final two hits connecting will floor even the mutant.Īlthough the player can kill an Erginus without the Balam, this is not recommended as it will take a significant amount of time to do so. It is highly advised to stick with the group, as the Balam can be knocked down during its getting up animation, leaving it to constantly take damage without having the time necessary to stand back up. On lower difficulties it is quote possible to ignore the Balam entirely and focus on grabbing pickups until the remaining Balams defeat the mutant, but on higher difficulties there will probably be too few Balams left for this to be left to chance. The main principle of this mission is that the NPC Balams will attack whatever is closest to them, and can become separated and thus much less effective if too many are fighting bugs instead of Erginuses.Īfterwards, a final Balam is dropped with stats depending on the difficulty level (999,999 health on Inferno, more than any deployable Balam) and a player may pilot this to assist in killing all remaining Erginuses alongside the remaining Balams and then kill the Mutant Erginus. The player or players are tasked with assisting a large force of NPC Walking Fortress Balams as they battle the Erginuses, protecting the Balams from giant ants, first black and then crimson and finally hornets, followed by another wave of regular ants. It appears again, but the EDF drops a Walking Fortress Balam in and player must pilot it and kill the Erginus.ĭespite killing this Erginus, several appear at once in one final mission. Instead the player(s) must survive long enough for it to escape. In its first two appearances, the Erginus proves to be unkillable. As with all mutants, it is much stronger than the regular variety, to the point where Intel urges the Balams to focus on this threat instead of the various other Erginuses remaining.Ī Wing Diver looking up at the first reported Erginus.

This one has red skin instead of brown (making it appear quite similar to a Vallak) and its glowing sections now glow yellow instead.
Ohara, the Ravager Researcher announces that he believes this to be the actual adult form of the Erginus, and that all others seen before must be juveniles.
In response to the arrival of the vicious Erginus, the EDF introduced the giant Walking Fortress Balam, which, while not built to take them on specifically, has the necessary equipment to fight them - simple brute force.Ī large, mutant Erginus exists, twice the size of any other. It is said to have risen from the ocean at some point during the war of 2025, but Ohara later claims that they must have come from outer space, from a planet where they were the apex lifeform: presumably this means they were deployed in the normal Ravager fashion of dumping things in the ocean and letting them walk ashore by themselves. In-keeping with 2025 and 4.1's tendency towards being a remake of Global Defence Force, it is similar to the Saurous / Solas monster, with Godzilla-like physical and breath attacks. Sadly, they do not remain attached to the helicopters while punching the lizards. However, a large group of them as well as a Mutant Erginus appear in Mission 67: Battle of Giants. The same one reappears a couple more times throughout story mode - in Mission 39: Dozing Beast, where it has fallen asleep in the middle of a city and Mission 53: Crash (which is supposed to be called Clash, but nevermind), where a Walking Fortress Balam is finally dropped and the creature is finally slain. 1 Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New DespairĮarth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New DespairĮrginus first appears suddenly near the end of Mission 27: Assault.
