I swear the only weapon that I used less in the original was the Keyblade but in this version, it is totally bad rear end, especially once you get the gauntlet

slayn posted:I need help figuring out how to get the book of the dead. At this point I've killed I think 4 bosses, and explored many areas, and feel like I'm blocked on so many things without the double jump.. And I think the above item is the piece of the chain I'm missing to be able to get it. Mulbruk, the girl in the Temple of the Sun under the grail point, gives the book to you after some random point in the game. I don't know what the conditions are for her to give it to you because I'd been exploring quite far without the double jump before she handed it to me.

Previously, any time I fought Anubis I either died or just reset. But after you told me that I tried going to Anubis, whipping him once, and then leaving. And only then did she give the book. So you can probably get it from her immediately, but you have to give Anubis a slap and then talk to her.

Ellmac (boss of the sun temple) is killing me like crazy, I've been at him all day and he wont die, I even stocked up 60 shurikens but to no avail, my health is at 96 at the moment, should I keep at it or should I try a different boss first? he's my third boss.

Buy the gun, kill him in 3 shots. He's by far the most painful boss to fight in melee and takes forever to down with shurikens.

You HAVE to get up in Elmac's face to deal with him quickly. Just try to ascertain the timing of his attacks and get some whip hits in when the opportunity presents itself. His fireballs do relatively little damage, so you can afford to be patient as long as you don't hit his body.

As far as I know, you don't even have to attack him. She gave it to me after Anubis appeared and I just teleported out.

His fireballs do relatively little damage, so you can afford to be patient as long as you don't hit his body. The problem I have is that bosses hitboxes are the size of a pea and I pretty much had to kamikaze myself with the axe to be able to even deal damage. Every boss has this problem where you have to attack the exact pixel on the boss or you won't get a hit in. I had the same problem with Mausoleum of the giants boss too.

How do I beat that one subboss in Twin Labyrinths that stops time and shoots feathers at you? The pistol doesn't work, and when he freezes time he pretty much auto hits me for a bunch of damage.

The bosses in this game have been giving me the most trouble out of anything but melee is really the way to go. In the old version they were desgined with projectiles in mind but now they're all made (only 5 bosses in so far) with melee in mind and it is entirely possible to kill them with minimal damage doing so. Even the Bahamut was easy after I got the hang of it with the axe, no damage. The exception so far has been The boss of the lava area, viy. There are hardly any options to melee him and the old knife to the eye trick doesn't work because he has considerably more health and his aura drains you too quick. After getting lucky and him using the non lazer move a bunch I was able to hit him enough with melee to finish him off. Also the chamber of birth and the Infinite corridor miniboss can go to the Hell Temple. For the first time I think I'm stuck because I keep dying rather than being lost in a puzzle.

I stood on the right side middle-uppish platform and never left it and let him just come to me. I jumped over his feathers when possible, but time stop was an auto hit. And then I just wailed on him with the axe as best I could. It worked after a couple tries.

In his second form which surprised the hell outta me let me tell you, the flame coming out of his arm keeps me from getting close enough.

Yeah, at that point I just broke down and used the gun. Couldn't find a way to use melee at all. Also is there a way to earn money easier? I've been buying all the unique items from shops but constantly having to buy shurikens is starting to eat into my wallet.

You are talking about a conception seal boss, I think meaning the laser-shooting guy in Spring in the Sky? I haven't even got a conception seal and I've beaten him ages ago. Do you mean the birth seal, or did I miss something..?

There are two pots right below that give anywhere from 10-20 coins per round (the third bottom pot doesn't give anything I think.) and respawn whenever you exit to the right and reenter. Just going back and forth as quickly as possible I can net >150 coins using a single fairy.

Red Mundus posted:
Now, stand where Lemeza is in the screenshot and start breaking the blocks to your left. You should get about 20 coins each time you break them all. Then, just go offscreen to the right and immediately back left to refresh the blocks. Repeat as necessary. If you have the Bracelet from the Twin Labyrinths and the Gauntlet from the Graveyard of the Giants, you can get insane amounts of money - easily anywhere from 400-600 coins before the fairy leaves. However, if you don't have these items then you won't get as much money, since it will take longer to break the blocks before the fairy leaves.

When I read that the mini-bosses and bosses had their difficulty ramped way up, I thought it was hyperbole. It wasn't. Every boss has given me a VERY hard time, especially Bahamut. Resorting to the pistol feels like cheating.slayn posted:I had the axe, about 200 life, and brought a healing fairy.

oh god dammit I'm deep into the game and I got to 'the' point where the plot unloads, running around going to a different area I found the balance puzzle, I walked in and had 4 weights and realized you needed to use weights to solve the puzzle. So I warped to get more weights and saved after getting them. I come back and a door opened and the tablet and the pedestals are gone. Son of a bitch.

He seems to only time stop right after you hit him, and if you time your strike right so that you hit him just as it goes off, it interrupts his cast. I still haven't managed to kill him yet

There is a stone tablet next to a barrier that tells you to be small. After you trigger the secret for using the doll in the giant area, read that tablet again and the barrier will be gone.

I still haven't managed to kill him yet I don't even think you have to hit him to cancel the spell, just being really close seemed to be enough. There were a couple of times I swear I missed him on the swing and I still avoided the freeze. I remember back when the wii ware version of this came out in Japan, and there was a goon playing through it. I remember that this boss in particular was giveing them a hell of a time. I still love how in this game, after the 1st few bosses, the whole world opens up and it is hours before I even get to another one as I keep hoping into places to snatch the weapons and items.

I managed to win handily a few minutes ago, or I'd try to check this out On the other hand I'm kind of disappointed now because he doesn't seem to have been directly blocking the katana as I had assumed, unless I'm missing some hidden ladder somewhere.

What he blocks access to is the switch that actually opens the Katana's vault. Assuming that it is as it was in the original. I killed him before I had the twin statue and haven't been back there yet.

Can anyone go over exactly how to get the double jump (well, the serpent staff namely I guess) this time around? I distinctly remember having the double jump (and I think the knife which I also seem to be missing, but I'm not sure if that things location changed or if i just forgot how to get it) when fighting Bahamut before but now i'm missing both.

Has anyone been able to get this running on Wine? It starts perfectly but ignores keyboard input, which means I can get to the title screen but no further. (Maybe it's ignoring the keyboard in favor of a nonexistent Xbox controller which it thinks is there? Is there a command-line switch for the game that disables Xbox controller support?)
