Earth Defense Force 2017 Mission 53 Inferno Difficulty

- This is Mission 53 - Starship on Inferno difficulty.
Weapons: C70 Bombs and C70 Bombs
This is how I originally finished the game back in June 2009, because the ever popular dual Lysander Z didn't work for me. My armor is only 6912, so I wouldn't last long against the Mothership.
I'm using two sets of C70 bombs. If you wait until the Mothership's cannon deploys, you can fly the chopper onto the prongs sticking out of the bottom of the cannon and jump off onto one of the ledges. I got close to the edge nearest the Mothership so that the blast radius would hit it. I throw out all 20 of my bombs and jump over the side, and when far enough away, detonate the first set. This will immediately kill the cannon.
I reload the first set and then drop bombs close to the Hectors. Getting hit with their purple lasers knocks you down. During the knockdown animation you are invincible. You can still detonate your bombs though! I did this to pick up scattered health.
I watched the Mothership and when I see its glowing circular weak point, I detonate my second set of C70s. You'd think that your bombs fall out of the air because the cannon falls when you destroy it, but they don't. I exploit the physics to leave my bombs perfectly positioned (floating in the air) to destroy the Mothership.
The C70 Bomb does 12,000 damage each, doing a total of 120,000 damage, instantly killing the Mothership if they're positioned right. In comparison, the Lysander Z does 5,500 damage per hit.
*Everything about this stage is epic! The voice acting makes it very dramatic.

THANK YOU!!!! This strat worked like a charm!
My girlfriend and I tried forever and all manner of different strats to kill this level on inferno and never came close. Our last failed effort involved using the prominence and trying to zerg the mothership but I digress, thank you for posting this :)) Only 2 more levels to go (33 & 34)!
Good luck
There's something so satisfying about having such a... "retro" feeling game have a cheesy glitchy strategy to beat it like this. It brings me back to the 80's
Omg with 4.6k armor I passed Inferno (lvl. 52) and this level. I died at the end of 53 when the commander said to get away that the mother ship was gonna fall and I stood there looking at the screen waiting to see what would happen. "Mission Cleared" Woooo Hooooooo!!!!!
Heroic sacrifice!
I love it when you die in this game, but the Mission Cleared pops-up regardless

Thanks for this video, i used this strategy to complete this mission on inferno, having a co-op friend made the missions on inferno so much more manageable, mission 48, 52 and 53 in particular.
The only thing I can think of is detonate the first set of C70s and then make sure you let the mothership descend all the way. When you see the weak point open, detonate the second set. That's how I did it. The C70s will still be floating in mid air, so you don't need to worry about them falling from the sky when you blow them. Just wait for that weak point to show and then blast it.
Yeah, I think I'll keep it more in the video description this time. I went out of bounds in EDF:IA, but I figured it would be boring just to watch without having anything to say. Maybe I was wrong, but the next time I'll try to keep it focused on the gameplay, and keep my own notes down in the description. But thank you so much for bringing the next game to my attention; I had no idea, and it's definitely something for me to look forward to.
Just wanted to say thanks for doing these. Got through the whole campaign with 7.8-8k health and two controllers on 48 and 52.
Now just need to find the Prominence MA...
I'm glad it helped; no problem. It's insanely difficult without a tremendous amount of health on Inferno!!
Thanks for uploading these vids. Would never have been able to complete the imfamous Inferno with out it, Thanks dude. =)
@SuperMangoLOL No, I didn't "hack." That's what you get on Inferno difficulty. On that difficulty, it isn't much. Play it and see.
@SpunSeaLion This game benefits from you starting on Easy and then working your way up in sequence. Every piece of weaponry and armor that you find adds to the total. So by starting at the bottom rung, your total armor count keeps rising. And since you'll be overrun many times in this game, you WILL need the armor. You start with 200 armor. I couldn't finish the game on my own on Inferno until I had more than 9000 armor. Each armor icon adds one armor point to the total. Good luck. =)
@Strike1x It goes from Easy, Normal, Hard, Hardest, Inferno. Inferno is no joke without the right weapons. Your armor count can go to zero in a few seconds if you get surrounded by spiders. But it is the most fun difficulty in the game to me.
@Ianosh85p Place the first and second set of bombs in the area shown in the video. Detonate the first set. Wait until the ship comes down and you can see the glowing weak point. Detonate the second set of bombs to destroy the ship. The second set of bombs will not fall out of the air even though the cannon that they were on has fallen.
@Sampson678 This is one of the most satisfying games to finish on the 360, and having the achievement for finishing Inferno actually screams that you're a hardcore gamer. =)
I Love C70s but would have never thought of them to be so effective against the boss :o Thanks very much.
Okay, I looked it up. TBA for NA in 2013. You better believe I'll upload it! It'll be a straight long play style, unlike what I was doing with EDF:IA - no annotations, pure gameplay instead. Thanks a ton for the heads up; I didn't even know about it!! Should be fun though. Yeah, I guarantee I'll do it when it comes out. =)
@hongpingmike In the video description it lists my weapons as C70 and C70, so I could drop the first set of ten, then the second set of ten. This does leave you defenseless if you position the bombs wrong, so you've got to get it right on the first try, or you'll have to start over, because you will not have any way to shoot the mothership.
One of the hardest battle I ever to do on Inferno. I had to use 2 controller (one as a decoy). Right when I landed the last shot on the boss I died and kept thinking, "GOD DAMMIT I CANT DO THIS AGAIN." But then the level said Mission cleared and I was like =D
@EarthDefenceInferno Like I've said - I've finished up to 1-5, but I have not started chapter 2 yet. I'm working on grinding out the Daddy Warbugs achievement at this time. I have all of the armors at Tier 8. When I make the video set, of course I'm going to use different armors for different stages. It wouldn't be as much fun otherwise!
@EarthDefenceInferno The first time I finished this game, I did indeed get gunned down and die, but the Mothership was already crashing. Much to my surprise I got the Mission Complete screen. It was epic having the hero be sacrificed for ultimate victory.
I plan on soloing Inferno on EDF:IA without bots. As of 8/2/2011 I'm still farming for money so I can get the Daddy Warbugs achievement. I've only gone up to 2-1, despite owning the game since launch. Grind, grind, grind. =)
Good luck it took me 6 months to get enough money for everything
@sterlingxblue You have to place the bombs in the same place I did in the video, so that they're close enough to the center of the ship. Yes, I did wait on purpose so that the ship would descend far enough into the blast radius.
Thanks! Doing this on Series x In 2021😂 corona still going strong
I love how the Commander says that the Ravagers can't see the EDF retreat from battle, when in the the fifth mission when the gunships attack, he yells "Retreat!!!!" And you clear the mission by running away lol
This way definitely makes things easier, doesn't it? I tried so many times to finish the game with dual Lysander Zs before I did it this way. =)
Tbh I cleared this second to last with less than 9k can’t remember and I had much more difficulty with Inferno lol.
It definitely lived up it’s name sake? Also I found that I was able a majority of the weapons before the halfway point on hardest.
Occupation is a great place to get the last few high tier stuff from my recent win there. Good luck everyone.
@Weet1231 Pick up Armor icon drops from enemies. You start with 200 armor. Each icon gives you one point to the total. You can tell how much farming I had to do to get it up as high as it is in this video set. o_o;;
@EarthDefenceInferno The plan is to do a video walkthrough with annotation commentary. I'm not sure when I'll be able to start. Like I said, the furthest I've gotten is finishing 1-5. I really want to get some of those achievements out of the way. I swap out armors depending, and to keep things fresh. Overall, my least favorite is Jet, but that might be because my bot allies like to shoot, blow me up, and knock me down while I'm doing things. I'll judge a little better when I'm on my own.
@TheOPTIMYSTICALbeats It looks like an HD PS2 game, but the gameplay is great. Lots of fun running around blowing up buildings and shooting bugs and robots. Just like a cool B-movie.
I didn't know that there was going to be another EDF game, but if there was, of course I'd record it, mainly as a long play. I did Insect Armageddon, but that was a bit different in comparison to this one.
@Strike1x Haha, believe me, this game is not easy on Inferno difficulty. It can be over in seconds if you get overrun. Here's to hoping for a sequel.
Whoever programmed the mechanics for flying the helicopter shouldn’t be allowed near a video game ever again
I agree. It got better in EDF4 though.
It supposed to be hard to fly
Agreed 1000000000 percent
Strange, I detonate my 2nd batch of C70's when the weak point is visible and lowered and all I get is "we did it blah blah" green balls of doom come flying out and I feel like it has more health than it should.
You've got to drop all 20 of your C70s on the very edge of the leg you're on, closest inward towards where the weak point is, otherwise it won't work. I've heard that from other people, but I've never had any problems doing it. Good luck!!
I got it, thanks!
Using bombs was fucking genius, anyway i used a variant of this so i could survive with less armor
I used Lysander Z and C70 bombs
At the start grab your troops and get away from the chopper so the hector's cannons dont damage it
Take down one dropship and any hector that activates, destroy the other dropship and the remainder of hectors on the map
Now grab the helicopter and place the bombs on the cannon
This is the only tricky part of the mission, now you need to drop down but you need to avoid the laser beam from the cannon, it isn't too hard once you get the timing right, just jump as soon as it fires and you should have plenty of time to reach the floor and get out of the way before it fires again, also you can see an scorched X so roll out of there
Reunite with your troops and look for an open field, focus on destroying the cannon with the Lysander while the soldiers destroy the gunships
After that just wait for the mothership to get down as shown in the video and detonate the bombs, you can make your life easier by taking the outer cannons from the mothership while you wait, they only take 1 shot from the Sniper
@EarthDefenceInferno On EDF:IA, I've had it since launch, but I'm working on getting the achievements out of the way. I only have single player ones left, and I've been farming in Ditchslap. I finished 1-5, but I haven't even started 2-1 yet because I want to get the "buy all weapons for all armors" achievement out of the way, and that's going to take a considerable amount of time. I've got all for Trooper, almost done with Tactical. Ways to go with the other two.
I'll make the decision when I get it, but more than likely I'll alternate between both classes for the campaign. My only hope is that there's not a ton of grinding to get everything the way there was in IA. That was aggravating...
@ajle9550 I know. And hell yeah I'll be picking it up when it does.
@matrixandraia how did you set the second set of bombs without destroying the first ones first. each time i try, it only let me set 10 bombs and I cannot set anymore until I blow up the first set... pls. tell me. thanks
@Strike1x This is actually on the XBox 360.
the graphic are better? i didnt noticed, i just thinked that playing on a portable console made the ugly graphic less noticeable (but im not complaining, thats what allow them to have huge army of huge monster)
i consider the new unlockable class a small bonus, the main reason to have it on vita is for the ability to play it everywhere
@matrixandraia ah.. i didnt even think about that.. thanks so much.. gonna try this right away..
@hongpingmike Congratulations on finishing. =)
@sackwalze this is the last 1...if you didn't know already
@eternalnate inferno is a job if you love the game you spend made 10 -20 hours farming ants to build up your armor to beat some levels I bought this game a year 1/2 ago and have beaten inferno yet on all the levels.
@pivot4469 Glad they worked for you!
dude i got the c 70s because i followed what you did on extermination 1.....thanks
i really wanted to beat this on inferno but it seems really hard...i guess its just the fact of getting better guns by playing it on a lower difficulty first.
this was a great strat. thanks
I bought this game when it first came out but got frustrated with inferno so i traded it in at fucking gamestop and got like $5. Now i can't find it anywhere. makes me sad, this game was soooo fun!
@matrixandraia There is a "sequel" coming... Insect Armageddon
Why You don't Play Global defence force/ Earth defence force 2 It is hard Game and tough....I'M really looking forward too see you play on inferno mode in global defence force....Probably The level of destroying the floating city...It is so hard to do on inferno
Ive tried this a thousand times, most exactly as shown in the video, but with several variation on when to fire the 2nd set. No matter what I do, the 2nd set of bombs will not damage it enough to finish it off. Such bullshit. What am I doing wrong??!!
0:29-1:26 Most Freaking Epic Speech in Gaming History Ever!!!!
I am doing your technique but i hav one flaw. Once i have planted the bombs i cannot escape without dying whislt waiting for the mothership to get in range of where i put the bombs (a cannon leg) I have 5312 health but i cant escape
Professional.
dude, when I beat this game, I felt better than shit. helllll yesssss
Wow! nice method! I beat this level on inferno with 2034 health! ty for the trick
@nitoro81
lol I was easily able to do this with the dual lysander Z's, but if you're not that great with sniper weapons then I would just call this an alternative method. ;)
That was perfect...
really nice play clever and straight forward >5 stars!
It works I got through it one mission left and this is were grinding for armor meant something inferno on inferno I only have 8300 health I need close to the max on the reader to stand a chance have the weapons to beat it though so grinding for armor
Earth Defense force Incests of Armageddon is real dude. ps3 and xbox 360 but spring of next year.
Do you wait until the ship is fully descended in mode 2? I can't figure out when to use the bombs during the 2nd phase.
got it to work on the cannon but i detonated the second set too soon >
@Vamphaery
nah, although i played ikaruga 100% ( bullet hell = favourite games) i have trouble with many other games. Starting with GnG lol.
awesome(but dangerous)straregy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry hello all I'm trying to finish level 53 and have tried hardest to do like in the video, however, with the C26 50 000 damage, but you do not understand something at once alien and destroy the cannon is also the mother ship? I destroyed the cannon with the c 26 but the ship is still on after ... how should I do? hello thanks
hey guys
i just bought this game and wanted to know how many missions it has...
=D
@KlineStife yeah my bad
@360seas2021 ,,,incests? you mean insects, right?
I don't understand this im doing like you but im getting destroyed by my own bombs and enemies
So, I left all 20 bombs on the side of the Mothership and then jumped off and detonated the first set. The second set will stay in the air where you left it, and you detonate them when you're on the ground and the Mothership opens its weak point. This is a cheap, budget game, so of course the wouldn't fix the physics for type of thing. XD
@matrixandraia Earth Defense force Incests of Armageddon is real dude.
Is this the only way to beat mission 53 on inferno? To exploit a glitch? That would be sad (not from you, but from the game itself).
@Strike1x it an xbox exclusive
Now i have done it, and planted the same amount of bombs as you, C70s on inferno, Just it transforms to cannon mode now ive done that.. It didnt do it for you :S
@matrixandraia
it wasn´t easy but it also wasn´t that hard, nearly everyone who played this has 1k, it was awesome when it unlocked but i wouldn´t count it to the hardest to obtain.
Best shit ever.
Como você entrar dentro do helicóptero ?
yo man this is liek the fucking best strat ever it worked for me u just gotta wait till the ship lowers it self if u need a better point of view use 2 player .
ok, need help! I use this technic for hard and hardest with no problem, but in inferno mode, I can destroye the leg like hard and hardest, but when I try to destroy the mothership with my second set of c70, nothing happens..... I ask to my girlfriend to shot some bullet with two lyzender Z, nothing.... do you have any idea?
this is MADNESS! madness? this......IS........ SPA-oh woh am i kiddin *kicks* same old comments pass decade
How much damage does the mothership cannon do.
Still playing EDF games?
As of August 20th, 2024 - yes, working my way through EDF6 on Easy. It's slow going because I'm looking for good farming stages. Playing a stage here and there on Hard for weapons. I'm on stage 95 out of 147 because I take time to farm once in a while. I'm loving it. And yes, I will upload Inferno when I'm ready. =)
@hongpingmike Good luck!
I could never do this when is was a kid
omfg thatwas soooooo easy with only 5000 health thanks for the video
GG
@matrixandraia thanks dude.. i got it on the first try.. it was that easy...!!!
Did you hack? My choppers have 800 armor not 3600!
i need this for ps3 :( looks fun i have insect armagedon and this looks way funner good games though
Are you fucking kidding me
You.fucking.genius
Play global defence force?
@TheOPTIMYSTICALbeats its actully really boring
damn this game looks horrible bet its fun to play though !
lol u can't defeat the mothership the proper way. get good
amazing lol
i really wanted to beat this on inferno but it seems really hard...i guess its just the fact of getting better guns by playing it on a lower difficulty.
