It's also in the labyrinth, you'll need bombs to get to the shop that sells it.

Don't have bombs? Come b-- no, they're in the Giants' Graveyard but you can only get to them if you enter from the Tower of the Goddess. If you haven't gotten to the tower then you really don't have any business futzing around in the Twin Labyrinth yet.

Okay, say I just killed Bahamut. Who do I go kill next?

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.

I don't think this works on anything other than the knife. My axe doesn't seem to do any more damage. :\

Viy is your next major boss. Realistically, it will probably be a rather long time before you can take him on. You need to access the Tower of Ruin to be able to do this. I suggest you start poking around backside areas, especially the Temple of Moonlight.

It does. Not double, maybe like 1.5x or something like that. The whip combo in the original was a 2x thing and it is reduced in this one as well, but the increase is still significant, especially against bosses.

I did that part by hanging on the side of the platform you have to get on with the claws. When he did the geyser attack, all I had to do was let go and jump. You're pretty much out of range for his breath attack up there too.

If anyone else is going crosseyed at the Endless Corridor door puzzle, I edited the graphics to show numbers instead of symbols. Take this file: http://i.imgur.com/IFs8P.png, dump it in C:\UsersLa-Mulana\data\graphics\00 and rename it map08_1.png. Back up the old one if you want.

It's from the Wiki. Useful for maps and item locations, but it doesn't help me beat bosses :gonk:

Is it just me, or do you have no choice but to get hit by Viy when he extends his eye? Jumping at him is the only way to get in range, and you WILL fall down to his body or at least get knocked back.

It's just less noticeable with the axe due to it's slow attack speed, but it works great against bosses. The knife or even the keyblade will do decent damage with it on, as well.

Ah, that makes sense. For a moment there I thought you had an invisibility item or something.

If he didn't do his eye beam attack for a while, you should be able to stand adjacent and jump straight up to hit him. Other than that, you pretty much have to use ranged attacks if you want to play it safe. Even with double jump you'll nearly always collide with him if you try melee-ing. (buy some spears :ssh:

)

vvv Probably with the gauntlets, yeah. Do you have a good shield? It'll block his uh... stuff, although you still have to dodge those flying dudes.

So is it just me, or did they make Tiamat much easier?

Her attacks don't do a whole lot of damage, except for the wave, which is easily avoided, and the huge laser she does in her final phase. And using the randc.exe + mekuri.exe combo and the axe just completely wrecks her.

As long as you take it from the front, you should be okay. Make sure to stand a little back though, else you'll get hit from below anyway. You'll also avoid getting hit by those goblins this way.

Edit: Actually, you could probably also hit him during a fall. As long as you jumped straight up initially you should be able to steer away from him after the attack. A bit risky though.

I think Viy isn't that bad if you take a more patient approach. Use lots of spears/ranged attacks (you should be able to chuck 2 spears each time if you time it right), keep your distance, and only go for melee if there's a good/safe opportunity (and right at the start of course). His most damaging attack is knocking you into his body, really. (which also has a horrible hit/walk-box and those tentacles keep knocking you into him and uggh)

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.

I have the eye of truth, I've flooded the tower, I've opened the room on the left side and I've taken a key fairy into the room left of the grail point and unlocked the Spaulder. I have no idea what pyramid enemies you are talking about, nor can I see a treasure chest anywhere in the rooms up there.

If you play extremely conservatively and make sure you keep the tentacles on your side down + equip fairy clothes + time your jumps so you get knockbacked onto the platforms and NOT the body, he's doable. A pain in the rear end, but doable.

You find a rom later on that allows you to teleport to the backside areas.
