Pollyanna posted:Anyway, money making strategies, anyone? I need to buy some stuff. I know green fairies help out a lot, but where can I go roughly after Bahamut? If you can go to the Chamber of Extinction, get a coin (green) fairy, warp to the grail point, go one screen up and one screen left and whack the four boxes at the top right of that screen. Then walk to the screen on the right, back in, repeat. You'll make hundreds of gold in minutes.

The one I remember is on the far right hand side of the mausoleum, go down the ladder minor hint regarding twins: you wanna be on the left hand side of the twins so gently caress around with the ladders a lot full spoiler if you are having trouble still: you're looking for the helmet - its in a store that looks like a recessed snake statue. it'll let you jump through waterfalls

I know which puzzle I'm supposed to do, but I apparently need to read the clue before I can do it because I've tried whipping the poo poo out of all the tablets and I just get zapped and the upper area in A3 is -- to my knowledge -- the only place I haven't been yet that I've discovered. FAKE EDIT: I've also walked the invisible pathway and placed the weight on the secret pedestal in A6.

Well I flooded the Tower but those statues guarding the upper exits still aren't disappearing. I'm running through my recorded notes and nearby tablets, but I'm drawing yet another blank. I did find the Talisman though, but if it's similar to the original, I need another item before I can really do anything related to it.

Control Volume posted:What a coincidence, I'm stuck on the exact same thing! Holy poo poo is this thing annoying! Finally got the drat thing. Here's a bit of a trick that makes it a lot easier: Once you finally get up there, don't go through the middle portion. Just head over to the left, jump up to where the chest is, then double jump off that and grapple onto the wall to jump to the seal. The spikes on the left don't hurt you because you're going up into them rather than over.

Phew, after a bit of research I've discovered (not really a discovery because everyone else aware knew it already) that the song Rest, No Rest is from GR3's first game... uh, GR3. Mulbruk is a total remix (not even, it's exactly the loving same) of Confession of a Painful Tooth and Endless Challenger is a remix (different beat, similar melody and motif) of an unused song called Easter. The only truly original songs are Eden (which has a similar piano riff to Maze of Galious but I think it fits the level) and Wise Men Who Halts.

Kill those then depress some switches in the two rooms on either side of the grail point. Then just collect the item from the chest which, somehow, makes statues disappear.

I'm not really a fan of the new "Using" everything but eh.

Oh man. Oh MAN. There's a software combination out there that boosts non-whip weapons and it absolutely trashes bosses like no other when you use the axe, and it's available as soon as you have access to fairies. I wish I had it before I had taken down 5 bosses, but whatever. Read on, interested parties! You'll need two pieces of software, one of which costs 300 coins. One is in a tent hidden by a breakable wall on the left side of that waterfall area on the surface, called mekuri.exe. The other requires a key fairy in the Spring in the Sky. Once you get that fairy, go up a screen and it'll hover over the shop and make it explode. Then you go inside and buy randc.exe. Combine the two and murder everything with your non-whip weapon of choice. For those having trouble getting the fairy to spawn, the pattern is 4 stars going in a diamond pattern. If you don't get that pattern, quickly leave the screen before the fairy appears, which resets it.

Control Volume posted:Weapon boosting There's a combination available at pretty much the exact same time that's worth grabbing for whips as well. In the fairy room in the Gate of Illusion, there's a shop that sells move.exe for 300 gold. Buy that. Then grab a handy Key Fairy and take her one screen to the right of the Grail Point in the Chamber of Extinction. Somewhere in the Gate of Time is another rom (lamulana.exe) that, when paired with move.exe, powers up whips specifically. That combination makes the flail as powerful as a pistol shot, which makes it worth hunting down ASAP. Especially if you can sneak into the Tower via a back way and get the Flail early. edit: Changed post to reflect what the ROM combination actually does!

I'm having a minor OCD meltdown about not being able to reach this chest, even though I know its just going to have gold or some garbage in it. I initially ignored it and left it alone because I assumed I needed some additional equipment to reach it. I came back after icing a few guardians and picking up the Grapple Claw but I'm still coming up empty. Is there a trick to falling down the trap door and hanging on the opposite wall, or is there something else here that I'm missing?

I finally got pissed at not having it and looked up how to get the axe, so I'm wondering: how many loving random walls can be broken with literally no clues? I've stumbled across a couple by accident now and none of them provided a reason to be attacked.
