There probably are about 5 or more scripted cephalos in MA but it would be even more difficult to find out than in other stages because so many more majini are blown up by dynamite and they may/may not have turned into cephalos. I think you're right in saying that criticals greatly raise cephalo chance, most of the knee cannons I was talking about were criticals. Maybe cobra striking majini in the back would lower cephalo rate, reduce the amount of cobras done to the head.

Thanks for the posts, both of you! I'm probably not going to be updating my threads on this board that much this month. I'm working on Darkside Chronicles at the moment. If you see me idle on the boards then that's most likely what I'm busy with. It should only take about another two weeks really... maybe a bit longer. I don't really know.

Yeah Berserker you've done well here. I always enjoy reading your walkthroughs, it must take you a long time.
But could you please release a step by step guide to the Final Fantasy series? I'd need something to recite over when I'm dying of old age.

Hey, thanks!
You'll probably never see another Final Fantasy FAQ or RPG FAQ by me for that matter. RPGs take WAY TOO LONG for me - FFXII took three months. I don't really see how FAQ authors can follow them through to completion. My hat's off to sephirosuy and Split Infinity on GameFAQs for their exquisite work on Final Fantasy games.
Oh and... I just got done with the RE2 segment of my DSC guide. Now, I only have the majority of Operation Javier and all of CVX left! I'm moving through this one pretty quickly. Seems to take nearly a week per scenario. Not bad.

I'm pretty sure there are 3 bottle Majini scripted and 2 sickle scripted though. I'll probably have to add another sort of explanation as to the show times for each Cephalo for Solo mode if that is possible. All of these so far are mainly based on Duo mode. Really, listing the times can be useless since it depends on the strategy you use.

There are definitely some scripted ones on Missile Area, every run in the past I noticed at least one dynamite and Molotov Majini would spawn one. I agree with Berserker also that criticals and Plaga spawns are intertwined, the developers knew how strong Wesker was so probably made sure he would have as hard a time with Cephalo as is possible for him.
Missile Area also seems to have key points in the combo where they appear. On a typical Solo run for example, I always get one within the first 20 enemies, then once jumping down at 40 there is usually 1 or 2 between 40-60 then 1 in the main area and once to the section with the raised platform Time Bonus the rate increases drastically. Either way, the Cephalo there are annoying. I've also noticed it's the only stage I've ever consistently gotten a Cephalo spawn from the first kill, I'm sure it happens on other stages but using a Knee Cannon on the first Majini in the low Duo spawn usually mutates them into a Cephalo.

Yeah, I really believe that there is a whole mess of scripted Cephalos on Village toward the end. They most likely come from the cave spawn point, like you mentioned and the spawn point near the combo chest on the hill. It's so very hard to tell them apart though unless you watch as they spawn. Thanks for the info. I'll add it at a later date. I will get back to all of my stuff on the strategy board once I'm finished with DSC. Almost done.

If you think its necessary, you can add that cephalos never spawn when a majini dies from falling

I read in the 1st page cephs were at random in ma... however some are scripted but sprout only during some kinds of spawning. For example, in the first wave of 12 after the very first majinis, theres this molotov guy. I can guess which on it is and magnum x2 right away. This happens in the chicken area. In the same zone theres a ceph in a dynamite guy too. So at least 2 scripted in this area. With more time ill figure out more of them and quote them here. sorry i see some replies about ma lol.
It also seems cephs appear more during a dash+knee as a combo-saving move. Yesterday igot 2 ceph with a desperate dash! But it may deal with the fact some ceph in becoming move slower than non ceph majinis, thats why I choose them as dash targets (theyre far away)...

my score is still 360 k with a route i dont play anymore. My knowledge about the map grows faster than my aiming aptitude lol! And i play 5h a week for now so im not in the high score mood yet...
About scripted cephs again, the 30kills main zone has at least 3 scripted cephs, 1 of them is a long stick guy and 1 is a dynamite iirc. Not 100% sure though since i may be confused withe dynamite of the chicken zone.
