republic posted: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? That's just a generic Gold chest, but you don't need anything to reach it, although I think the Hermes boots help. You get full air control if you hop straight up on the spot before falling, so... Stand on trap door Hop quickly Fall through door Hold left while falling

OK, I am just completely lost. I've beat 3 bosses, Sakit, Ellmac and whatever the worms were in the Gate of Guidance. I've been to every area I could get to and even woke up Mulbruk. I've tried exploring the Graveyard of the Giants and the Temple of the Moon but I can't seem to progress much in either and I have found no new items to help me. I'd explore the Gate of Guidance's mirror world but I can't reach it as the ladder won't pop out of the wall. The Chamber of Extinction was a bitch, I don't think I found much in there but I'm unsure because its pitch black and I can't do anything about it (I have no flares btw). I solved a few things in the Spring in the Sky but nothing. I got the water flowing pretty much everywhere but after putting the weight on a pedestal that did nothing, I got stumped. I think it activates a boss battle but I can't find the Anhk. I've explored every area I've found 3 times with no luck. I think I need a new item to continue on, maybe the Claws? But I just can't figure it out... Please help. I desperately need it.

gently caress you, water area mid boss. gently caress you for being armored and pretty much immune to all my weapons because I can only hit your head which is not possible to reach with the whip even after a jump from high ground. I got a healing fairy and kicked his rear end anyway, brute force style  e: this is where everyone tells me stop being a meathead and do something like hit his ankles or something I haven't (and now don't need to) figure out. Unless there's more of him OH GOD I'd rather fight ten minecart battles. In a row.

I take it that the final life jewel is in the chest above the dragon mini-boss? Because that platforming puzzle is the worst  And is it just me, or is that chest unreachable without that mini-boss?

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!

I got in there, then got the Axe and with that combo killed the poo poo out of Ellmac. Get hosed guy. I've been exploring the Graveyard of Giants and the Gate of Illusion and I can't seem to find anything useful in either. Edit: Well, I found the illusion map and connected the graveyard to the gate, and found some warp points, but they don't seem to lead anywhere helpful. Also, I loving hate those ice wizards. 100 HOGS AGREE fucked around with this message at 17:14 on Jul 18, 2012 |

I don't recall the exact pattern, I think it is a ring within a ring of stars that signals a coin fairy. Just trip the fairy point, and if it isn't the right type, exit the room before they come together and try again.

Alright, I gotta say it. This new bullshit to get up to the puzzle for the last life container is... well loving bullshit. I goddamn hate the water physics in the game to start with and now I have to somehow swim upstream, execute a hop out without wasting the double jump, and do it all before the drat geyser dries up or dickhole decides to breathe blue poo poo since his attack patterns are asynchronized? Someone tell me there is some way to cheese through that...

The dragon will always use the water spout exactly once on his first pattern upon entering the room (when he's in the middle of the map). The water spout is aimed for right below where you are standing. When the water spout comes out, jump once before the spout fills up to get maximum jump height. Once you're in the water, jump once more to get to the top of the spout. Then hold right and jump out of the spout and you should handily make the landing. Once I had the rhythm down, it was very easy to make attempts until i got the crystal, especially because you can make several attempts before resetting on account of the lamp of time no longer being necessary

If you hang around the right side of the screen (and block everything with the Angel Shield) you can just jump right into the mini-boss as it moves to the right and get knocked right up to the top ledge with the correct timing. It'll probably take some attempts to do, but I still found it much easier than trying to use the water spouts.

Well, now that you defeated Ellmac there should be two entrances to the moonlight temple. The backside door that opens when you kill a boss, and the other way in the pyramid. You should be able to solve the necessary puzzle in the moonlight temple right now.

Yeah gently caress that, I found if you jump at him as he approaches, start pushing to the right before you hit the double jump and then collide with him you pop right up everytime. The geyser is stupid After that, I went down and shot his brains out. Felt good. fake ed: Mman has the right idea.

There are three towers in the tower of the goddess, the grail point is on the far right one. You need the eye of truth to see the chest that you can open after killing the floating pyramids. EoT spoiler: Place a weight at the very top of the left tower and halfway up. It appears in the chest at the bottom. You may need to flood the tower for this to happen.

Ok, near end game... What makes the Mantra stones actually appear? I found the one in the endless cooridor, but despite knowing where the other ones actually are, none of them will pop up for me to read. I have placed the Magmahata or whatever its called jewel, and I have Mantra.exe, but besides that first one, none of the other stones will appear when I enter the location. I have this problem in the original too, you would think I would have written it down by now.... edit: Goddamn, I did write it down You have to chant the one you found before the next appears jerkstoresup posted:Has anyone made graphic replacement sets yet? I'm itching to replace the new graphics with the old MSX-style ones myself, but I'd be surprised if nobody has started/finished that already. This would be a pretty significant undertaking. There is a lot more to the animation in this one compared to the original, so it is not just a matter of swapping the folders out or something. It might be done eventually, but I wouldn't get my hopes up for awhile. It was possible to change the graphics in the original by replacing the sprite sheets, and in the years since it's release, I have never seen a single full conversion graphics mod.

Or I was thinking somewhere in-between the two generations would be awesome; Genesis 16-bit graphics rather than MSX or PSX-ish.
