Hints

HD-HELM Hidden Part

Mission: Destroy Berserk MT's. After destroying the lock mechanisms, enter the large room that was previously locked, take the left door, and follow the tunnel. There will be a left route, follow that to the crate room, As you enter the crate room, you will see stacked crates with yellow circles on them, turn left and fly over the crates into the corner, you will find the part there. (Destroying the crates will destroy the head too!)

WX-ED2 Hidden Part

Mission: Cavern Invasion. Go forward through tunnels, in the first room go up through hole on top, take a left at first intersection, big room with guns on ceiling, weapon is in back corner on the left. Follow the other tunnel for target.

P/CU Hidden Part

Mission: Assist MT's. First you must defend the yellow MT's. Kill all but one enemy MT. Then find the "church", it is a white building in a corner surrounded by grass. Blow it up, and there will be a tunnel below where it stood. Enter tunnel, and go forward. At the first intersection take a left, and follow tunnel. It will come to an end, but it's a false wall, blow it up and it the part will be on a stand in the room. Go back and finish off the last opponent. (a head with mapping helps a lot)

Hints

Sword Wave    Note: Plus or Reble is required for this trick. Have a lightsword equipped, then   press X, Circle while the sword is still out. If done correctly, this will fire a   very powerful crescent beam that can do over 2800 AP worth of damage with the   Moonlight.    Find Prize Parts in the Arena/Sub-Arena    If you have played Armored Core: Project Phantasma, you will know that you will   get a free part when you defeat a certain ranking Raven. However, unlike Project   Phantasma, Master Of Arena will throw more ranking Ravens at you even after you   defeat all of the Ravens listed. Keep checking back in the Arena/Sub-Arena to   make sure that you have fought everyone to be sure that you do not miss any prize   parts.    Prizes in the Leg Specific Ex Arena    If you go into the Ex Arena, you will see that there are four arenas that are leg   specific. This means that you cannot take a caterpillar (tank) style AC into the   humanoid arena. The good news about these leg specific arenas is that as you   conquer each one, then you will get a leg part that is from the arena type you   just completed (humanoid-humanoid, four leg-four leg, reverse joint-reverse   joint, caterpillar-caterpillar).    Find a FCS part    In the level that you help your MTs there are three yellow ones and six gray   enemy ones. There is a building in one of the corners with columns in the front   of it. Blow it up. Enter the hole under where it was located. There will be three   dead ends in there, one of which can be destroyed. Search inside to find a part   of an FCS.    Cavern Invasion level    There is a hole in the ceiling at the top of the first room. Fly up to it and   take a left. There will be a very large room with guns mounted in the ceilings.   Do not shoot at the guns. Instead, go directly to the left corner in the back,   where an item will appear on the ground. This is the shoulder mounted disc   shooter.    Destroy Berserk MTs level    Get past the first locked gate and find the door on the left side that follows   it. Follow the corridor until you find a room full of gray crates. Do not shoot   the crates or you will blow up the item. Maneuver around the crates until you   find a corner with a head part on the ground.    Destroy The Giant Tank level    At the start of the mission, go directly above the tank. After reaching the top   of the tank you will see a missile launcher. Destroy it immediately, then the   rest will be easy.    Defeating Ultimate 9-Ball    To defeat the Ultimate 9-Ball use a combination of Large Missiles and a Karasawa.    

Bonus Ex Arenas

At the Ex Arena selection screen, you will see four sets of question marks at the   bottom of the screen. These arenas are unlocked after you complete a certain   requirement:    FROMSOFTWARE is unlocked after you complete all leg-specific arenas. It features   a series of ACs made by From Software employees.     Guest and Champion are unlocked after you complete all of the missions (do not   forget to save when prompted). Guest is an arena that contains Japanese magazine   publisher's AC creations. Champion is a series of ACs made by finalists from a   Armored Core: Project Phantasma Tourney held in Japan last year.     Master is unlocked when you get 100% in the overall under System. Master is an   arena that has extremely dangerous ACs.
