You can find a full Lost Planet: Extreme Condition walkthrough on GameFAQs, which lists full walkthroughs for the game [\[1\]](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/xbox360/931114-lost-planet-extreme-condition/faqs?ref=idleweekend.net). If you play the Colonies Edition, StrategyWiki has a walkthrough that starts with the Prologue [\[2\]](https://strategywiki.org/wiki/Lost%5FPlanet:%5FExtreme%5FCondition%5F-%5FColonies%5FEdition?ref=idleweekend.net). Both sites are a good place to start looking for a guide that matches your copy of the game.

Most readers want to get past one hard moment, not read a full guide from start to finish. A boss fight is often where a run stalls, so this article begins there. It walks through one tough fight step by step and shows you where to find the rest of the walkthrough when you need the next chapter. It also helps to read [Call of Duty 4](https://idleweekend.net/call-of-duty-4-modern-warfare-walkthrough/).

## Which guides cover the whole campaign?

For the Xbox 360 version, start with GameFAQs. It has 9 guides and walkthroughs for that version, so you can compare a few before you choose one [\[1\]](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/xbox360/931114-lost-planet-extreme-condition/faqs?ref=idleweekend.net).

Among them is a full guide by nofxgamer. It is marked incomplete, so it may not take you through the whole campaign [\[1\]](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/xbox360/931114-lost-planet-extreme-condition/faqs?ref=idleweekend.net). If it stops partway, you can check the other entries on the same page for the later chapters. For the next step, see [Far Cry Instincts Evolution Walkthrough](https://idleweekend.net/far-cry-instincts-evolution-walkthrough/).

If you play the Colonies Edition, look at StrategyWiki. It has a walkthrough for that edition [\[2\]](https://strategywiki.org/wiki/Lost%5FPlanet:%5FExtreme%5FCondition%5F-%5FColonies%5FEdition?ref=idleweekend.net). The guide starts with the Prologue, A World of Ice, and then moves on to the Stronghold Assault [\[2\]](https://strategywiki.org/wiki/Lost%5FPlanet:%5FExtreme%5FCondition%5F-%5FColonies%5FEdition?ref=idleweekend.net).

Check which edition you have before you pick a guide. Chapters can differ between editions, so a guide written for one may not line up with the other. Matching the guide to your edition saves you from hunting for a chapter name that is not in your game.

## How do I hit the weak spots on a big enemy?

The fastest way through this fight is to go straight for its two weak spots. Begin by shooting out the two weak spots on the lower left and lower right corners of the main body area [\[3\]](https://www.gamespot.com/articles/lost-planet-extreme-condition-walkthrough/1100-6164437/?ref=idleweekend.net). Treat them as your main targets from the first shot, not as a side task after the rest of the body is down.

Here is how to work through it:

1. Fire at the weak spot in the lower left corner of the main body until it is gone [\[3\]](https://www.gamespot.com/articles/lost-planet-extreme-condition-walkthrough/1100-6164437/?ref=idleweekend.net).
2. Move to the lower right corner and fire at that weak spot until it is gone too [\[3\]](https://www.gamespot.com/articles/lost-planet-extreme-condition-walkthrough/1100-6164437/?ref=idleweekend.net).
3. Watch for the spots to spit out what they hold, since they do this periodically. When that happens, be ready for it and keep your aim on the spot that is still standing [\[3\]](https://www.gamespot.com/articles/lost-planet-extreme-condition-walkthrough/1100-6164437/?ref=idleweekend.net).
4. Keep firing at the weak spots rather than the rest of the body until both are gone [\[3\]](https://www.gamespot.com/articles/lost-planet-extreme-condition-walkthrough/1100-6164437/?ref=idleweekend.net).

The main mistake is spreading your shots across the whole body. Every shot that hits the rest of the body is one that does not bring the weak spots down. Commit to the two corners, and the fight gets much shorter.

## What should I do when a chapter stops me?

Find the chapter name first, then read only the part of the walkthrough that covers where you're stuck. The Colonies Edition walkthrough is split into named sections, starting with the Prologue A World of Ice and including the Stronghold Assault [\[2\]](https://strategywiki.org/wiki/Lost%5FPlanet:%5FExtreme%5FCondition%5F-%5FColonies%5FEdition?ref=idleweekend.net). Scan the headings until you find the one that matches your spot.

Skip the rest of the guide. Reading ahead spoils later fights and makes it harder to tell which advice applies to the battle in front of you. A short section for one chapter is also easier to keep open beside the game.

Once you know the spot, go back to the fight you lost. Don't just charge in the same way. Pick one change for your next attempt, such as the weak-spot approach from the next question, so you can tell whether it helped.

Keep each attempt focused. If the fight still beats you, change one more thing rather than several at once. That way you learn what works instead of guessing.

## What is the next step?

Your next step is to pick a walkthrough that matches your edition, then use only the part you need. Start with GameFAQs, which lists guides and walkthroughs for this game [\[1\]](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/xbox360/931114-lost-planet-extreme-condition/faqs?ref=idleweekend.net). If you own The Colonies Edition, StrategyWiki has a walkthrough for it [\[2\]](https://strategywiki.org/wiki/Lost%5FPlanet:%5FExtreme%5FCondition%5F-%5FColonies%5FEdition?ref=idleweekend.net).

Read only the section for your current chapter, not the whole guide, so you don't spoil the fights ahead. When a big enemy stops you, shoot its two weak spots first, starting with the lower left and lower right corners of the main body area [\[3\]](https://www.gamespot.com/articles/lost-planet-extreme-condition-walkthrough/1100-6164437/?ref=idleweekend.net). Keep firing at those spots until both are gone [\[3\]](https://www.gamespot.com/articles/lost-planet-extreme-condition-walkthrough/1100-6164437/?ref=idleweekend.net).
