Just picked up a copy myself, and loving it so far. Fighting Phalanx was massively rewarding - the first time I saw him I was like "oh poo poo, how is this ever going to work" and just died horribly - then a few deaths later I got into it and was rolling around like a madman. So satisfying when he went down. FYI (shameless plug) I am currently in Asia, and coming back to Europe next week. If anyone wants a copy, PM me and I'll try and help you out.

I'd agree with this - all aside from the monumental. Why they made him randomly drop all the e's in past particles (e.g. "releas'd" instead of "released") in the subtitles is beyond me. His voice is remarkably clear cut, and then you can sort of feel him forcing in these anarchic terms ("mankind's memory is o'er short" being one of the worst offenders). That said, the rest is awesome. And I love little touches - like if you run away from Stockpile Thomas instead of exiting the chat properly, he shouts after you, and next time you return he asks you what it was all about. Genius! BTW, have now finally finished reading through the thread (although I skipped all the spoilered sections as I'm only just up to Flamelurker, and don't want to ruin the surprises ahead). Can't wait to find out what the organ music in the Nexus is all about. Q: Some people are advocating killing all the Nexus NPCs before starting a New Game+, as they all come back. Is it fairly clear when I'm about to end the game, or does it have a 'final boss +1' that will surprise me? Appreciate it's hard to answer that without spoiling it a little... Also, as I mentioned before, I just got back from HK and have brought a few copies with me. Am based in the UK but can post. Let me know if you want one (some people seemed to be interested a couple of pages back, don't know if they still are).

If there's not, then you have work left to do in one of the 5 worlds. Awesome, thanks! Now if only I could get past Flamelurker - my character is a horrible mish-mash of magic and melee, with neither being particularly strong. Oae Ui posted:There's no weapon amongst that brushwood. Any piece that you're missing you can buy later on... I had the same problem, first time down it said I didn't have enough carry space, and when I went back nothing was there.

Is Policenaut still checking this thread? Just re-read it, and the OP still says 'unknown NA release', which needs updating. Also, although I know this is of minimal interest to US goons (the majority), but a mate and I are selling some copies in the UK. Link to ebay auction http://www.snipurl.com/dsebay - but goons are probably best off contacting me directly (PM or rabjohnson at hotmail dot com), for a discount. Would be much appreciative if that could be added as well. We have about 30 copies, so shouldn't run out soon. Happy to post to mainland Europe as well, although that might cost a little more...

I'm not entirely certain my constant rolling and occasional blasts will hold up so well a second time around. I've been determined from the start to kill him 'properly' i.e. without getting him stuck and exploiting pathing problems. 40+ deaths I've had to go back to world 1 to farm up more grass - that's ignoring all the times I died trying to descend to him by jumping from platform to platform in that shaft of doom. I still can't work out if I'm best off sporting my fluted armour and flame shield and trying to go toe-to-toe, or just keep sprinting from one end to the other and Soul Arrowing whenever I get the chance. Would love to know if anyone's got any decent advice on one being superior.

os101- posted:I've beaten him to death in Fluted and blasted him to death with Soul Arrow. If you have the ability to, go the Soul Arrow route. Ignoring the times I tried to get him stuck, I only died once. And that's because I chose to try and get another blast off instead of rolling out of the way and healing up. Just keep moving and make damned sure that you're "safe" when trying to blast him. The Ring of Magical Sharpness helps here. If you're feeling ballsy/suicidal, so does the Kris from 4-1. Makes much quicker work of him if you really think you can keep out of his attacks and have a lot of Magic points behind you. Cheers, I'll have another crack in the morning with that. Don't know where I kept going wrong - probably being over keen to blast him even when he was about to rush me. Will report back!

Two questions. Firstly, does anyone have any figures on how much white/black tendency move enemy/boss HP levels? I downed the Red Dragon in my first run through on neutral (defeated Phalanx then forgot to suicide in the Nexus so back to neutral), and counted a total of 1440 damage done (last hit was for 20, so he has between 1421 and 1440 HP). However, I guess this is of limited usefulness considering most players will be +1 white at this point, how much does that move things? Also, I'm looking into upgrades but nervous of going down the specialisation paths without much idea of what I'm doing - and there are so many different weapons on the wiki that I'm finding it tough getting an overview. What's the consensus on things that are worth making into Crescent/Dragon/Quality etc? I'm thinking: Quality - Winged Spear? I have no idea Crushing - Guillotine Axe, largely because it sounds cool. Sharp - Winged Spear again, based on the wiki (it has the stats listed so I assume it's a good choice, also I have loads of them) Tearing - Scimitar largely because I'm now quite experienced with it and love it. But if Mercury stacks (see below) then I guess Kilij? Dragon - Knight Sword seems to give the best stats Mercury - I'd love this on the Scimitar if it stacks with bleed damage. If not, Secret Dagger, but again, because it sounds cool rather than based on clever sums Fatal - Mailbreaker? I assume extra crit is for backstabs and the like? Moon - less relevant for me as I'm primarily melee, so I think this will definitely be for New Game +(+), but I like the sound of a Moon Bastard Sword. Crescent - the Uchigatana seems to be the logical choice based on stats. I don't suppose this is the same as the Kris Knife i.e. boosts the damage of your magic as well? Blessed - Knight Sword based on stats, but a Blessed Mace sounds a bit cooler Vicious - I guess has the be the Vicious Compound Longbow Dark - Purple Flame all the way. I suppose for completeness I should state that I'm working on a [b]Scimitar +10 and [b]Mirdan Hammer +10 for the hard/sharp stone trophies as well. Any tips/hints?

Revised list based on your feedback, thanks guys! Quality - Winged Spear? I have no idea Crushing - Guillotine Axe, largely because it sounds cool. Sharp - Winged Spear again, based on the wiki (it has the stats listed so I assume it's a good choice, also I have loads of them) Tearing - Scimitar largely because I'm now quite experienced with it and love it. But if Mercury stacks (see below) then I guess Kilij? Dragon - Morning Star - for skeleton bashing, anything that makes them easy is good news, given how much farming seems to be based around them. Mercury - I'd love this on the Scimitar if it stacks with bleed damage. If not, Secret Dagger, but again, because it sounds cool rather than based on clever sums Fatal - Winged Spear Moon - less relevant for me as I'm primarily melee, so I think this will definitely be for New Game +(+), but I like the sound of a Moon Bastard Sword. Crescent - Kilij Blessed - Mirdan Hammer / Great Sword (although I still hanker for a Blessed Mace, but I suspect that's because I haven't swung one yet) Vicious - Compound Longbow Dark - Purple Flame all the way. Does anyone know if a Mercury Scimitar would do poison and bleed damage?

Golgozor posted:If something does bleeding, it will still cause bleeding as a mercury weapon. Brill, thanks! Now I definitely know what I'm doing there. I got my scimitar up to about +7 just from running 2-X (I ran 2-2 sooo many times before I got Flamelurker down it was actually just ridiculous), so that's been my top for ages. I don't entirely get your point on the Dark Purple Flame Shield. From what I can see, the only use for stones is upgrading shields, and none of them are any easier than the others (I might be mis-reading the wiki), so assuming I'm targetting Plat somewhere in the distance, I don't have much choice?

Yeah, I know it can go to +5, I'm wondering if anyone has taken it to +5 and can confirm that it's weaker than the claws. If not, I'm tempted to FOR SCIENCE (and because I really like the scimitar for some reason). Is there a better resource for upgrade stats I should look at/consider adding to?

I went with magic for the Tower Knight and he was next to trivial - Just keep shooting from the ramparts, he takes loads of damage if it hits, and as a Royal with my fragrant ring I was in no danger of running out of MP Just wait until you get to Flamelurker! The only way I could beat him was he eventually got stuck on the stairs and I nuked him from the top step, laughing as I did it. Unsatisfying way to do it, but it was still a kill I'm really not looking forward to facing him again on New Game+

I'm creating my own addon content, by attempting a character who has no magic at all. My main is still bashing away with his odd mix of melee for the trash, magic for bosses/annoying ones, but I've started another who is determined to use nothing that could be construed as 'evil' soul arts. It's surprisingly fun and challenging - I don't know how long before I get sick of the mantas etc, but for now it's doing me nicely.

Oae Ui posted:I did a lot of that sort of thing. My favorite gimmick characters were one who poured every level into strength and used only the Keel Smasher with practically no armor and another devoted entirely to katanas, putting every level into dex. With each one I went straight for the weapon that I wanted them to use after beating Phalanax, not allowing myself to complete other worlds first. It was really, really difficult but incredibly satisfying. I still haven't done it yet, but I'm tempted to try a soul level 1 playthrough. I would love to know how a SL1 playthrough would go. I've seen it mentioned a few times - has anyone done it yet? That would really highlight for me how different this game is from most RPGs - grinding would be ENTIRELY optional, it would demonstrate that it's entirely possible to go through it purely based on your skill. I would be tempted to try it, but I have enough on my plate for now.

Megalixir posted:Beating other bosses in other worlds lowers the world tendency of other worlds. I haven't found this to be true. I'm also going for a pure white initial run, and it seems to be coming along just fine - despite having got world 2 there first, and then not having returned to it in ages, it's sticking on white even as I defeat other bosses. Might be due to the fact that I play offline the entire time, but I haven't had bosses in other worlds have any effect on other worlds' tendencies. Either that, or I'm completely misunderstanding what you're saying. A word of advice to anyone on their first run - Dragon weapons rock. I was struggling a little with world 4, until I decided to man up and get the Knight Sword with some Fire damage on it. Only got it to Dragon +3, but now I'm sailing along. I'm sure it'll soon be obselete as I get my stats up, but it's a great boon at the start.

As I posted a couple of pages back, I brought some back with me from HK - which I am selling at £40! UK goons, stop paying import houses for this game! I have about 20 copies (didn't leave a lot of room for clothes in my suitcase), which I'll sell at cost quite happily. £40 + postage from a London address, and they're available now, no delays while waiting for them to arrive. On topic, this game seems to get much easier after you start upgrading weapons. I was struggling at first, but now I've got a decent Dragon Knight Sword to swing I'm laughing. Also, am I the only one who always find my first run through of a level to be quite stressful and difficult, but subsequent runs once you know where everyone is to be much easier? Do you get extra enemies on New Game+(+), or am I going to forever know the layouts having beaten it once?

I just checked after someone from Sweden asked, it looks like European shipping for me will cost around £3 and take 3 working days (cheapo option), to the US is about £5 and 5 working days (although I imagine most US goons would rather wait for the release, it looks like us Europeans won't be so lucky). I don't know how this compares to PlayAsia, just giving the options. I can also send it quicker if you want for a bit more money. If anyone else wants one please PM me or catch me at rabjohnson at gmail dot com, I'd rather not fill this thread with talking of buying the game when it should be about playing it. But if you do want one, rest assured I'm sure I'll have stocks for a bit - I brought back about 30 with me when I moved home last month.

Press square when you're on the equip screen and it cycles through the default screen, that 'info' one and another which gives a wordy description of the weapon. When in any of these three you can still moves your cursor up and down, so you can be in 'info' mode and highlight various weapons to directly compare them.

I thought it was the barrels with the red stripe that blow up but I accidentally hit one and it didn't explode. As far as I can work out, red ones are inflammable, so any flame will set them off (firebombs or the fire-sword-wielding dreglings being the most common ways you'll encounter early on). However, if you hit them with a normal sword then you're fine. Ones without a stripe never seem to explode whatever you do.

I found Soul Light slightly awkward on him, as it seems to be able to lock on slightly outside of the range it damages him at (no doubt because of all his moving about). If in doubt try standing a little closer, once you have the timing down that's not too dangerous. Anyone got any great tips for Maneater? I am a mish-mash of melee and magic, so happy to try either depending on what works. Next bit spoilered for game mechanics I can more or less hold my own again the first one, with a semi-upgraded purple flame shield I can weather most of his attacks, and get a few in while chugging grass until he flys off, giving me a chance to properly recover. When the second spawns though I have no chance. I'm mostly fighting on the initial bridge as I seem to have more room to move there - might I be better off on the central circular platform? I read something about hiding behind the brazier in the middle, but most of the time I just find myself being flanked and unable to retreat

Cheers mate! Hope you enjoy it. No idea about the online stuff (I don't have a PSN account), but for the others: 1. Online question 2. It all ties into world tendency. The wiki has full details (or as full as anywhere), but basically you can do some stuff to shift a world into 'white' (killing bosses etc) or 'dark' (dying while in body form for example). Making it 'whiter' makes the game a little easier, and in 'pure white' some extra stuff is unlocked. Making it 'darker' makes it harder (enemies have more health etc) and again at pure dark some extras become available. People choose to suicide a lot in the Nexus because dying in body form in a world shifts it darker - in order to make sure it stays white they kill a boss in soul form (+1 white), suicide in the Nexus (no effect), play through the next bit in soul form and kill another boss (+1) etc. If you want to ignore world tendency for your first playthrough (as the consensus advice seems to be), don't sweat it. 3. You can leave bloodstains to give hints to other players if playing online - and see other players bloodstains in turn. You can also review bloodstains, a positive review will heal the placer, making the game a little easier for them. While most are gameplay related, this one is just asking for free health points. 4. Online question, skipped 5. You can't kill them yet. You can kill the red one in 1-2 and the blue in 1-4. Also getting pure white means they disappear and you can loot their treasure. They are best left alone for now. A nice feature in the game is the somewhat realistic 'you don't have to/can't kill everything' angle which I like. 6. See this page on the wiki to work out the symbols. There's no simple 'this weapon is better' sliding scale, each is different, both in terms of how you swing it and some have special added effects (e.g. something with 'Dragon' at the front does additional flame damage). I preferred to just try out new ones as I picked them up, and see how much damage they did. As a general rule though, ones with high AddedParams work out nicely as you level up, so getting the hang of those is worthwhile. boatiemathmo fucked around with this message at 00:11 on Aug 6, 2009 |

You'll get one in a bit. I still feel it's a shame that wasn't better explained. I did 2-x before any of the others, and slightly regretted it. 2-2 is a pain in the rear end, even with the shortcut, largely because I found Flamelurker to be a nightmare. I think 4-x is much easier, the bosses are pretty simple one you've worked out their tactics, and provided you take it slow the levels aren't too bad either. And then you can farm 4-2 like mad for all the upgrades you'll ever need. And a question: Earlier on in this thread people mentioned being cut off at NG+++, and unable to start again.

I never find myself using evacuate. If I'm far into a level, the only time I consider it is when I'm near a boss. In which case, I will need to come through it all again to get back there - risking just as many souls on the next run. Am I missing something tactically? I bought it, but now much prefer to use the slots for something else (anti-magic field for example).

Once you hit that point, though, it can definitely save you a lot of time in running to exits. Gotcha. I was thinking in terms of game progression/soul farming - it seems useless for game progression, and for me at least the best way of soul farming has to be the first reaper in 4-2 followed by a hasty suicide off the cliff. Item farming I hadn't thought about, makes sense now though. Ta!

How much are you importers paying for an NCSX/playasia copy? I suspect people are getting bored of me harping on about this (if so, please say so), but I have a load of copies I brought back from Asia to the UK. Selling for £40 + shipping, assuming you'll give me a week for it to get from London to the US it works out at about £45 for you Americans. If that's better/comparable, let me know on rabjohnson at gmail dot com. Will not mention this again for a few pages, as I suspect it's getting on some people's nerves, but I keep seeing people buying it elsewhere and paying more - which is a little frustrating. This is officially the last time I bring back any more copies of anything than I can place immediately.

Irish Taxi Driver posted:$77, but thats with tax due to an in state purchase. OK, £45 works out at about $75. So we're about the same. It's up to you who you buy from at the end of the day, but if they give you any trouble, let me know and I can whack one over no worries - provided you can get a refund off them anyway! Regarding player base, a big help would be if it was going to be released in Europe as well. I know we're small, distant cousins to you lot, but it would bolster your numbers a little. A shame everyone always thinks of the world in terms of 2 regions - US and Asia - with the rest being an afterthought.

Especially since it looks like the American one won't be playable on the servers all of you are using. Is my thinking correct so far? And if you do want it - and are based in Europe - I have some spare copies I'm shipping from London to save you an import house cut £43 to UK addresses, £45 to European. rabjohnson at gmail if you want one. If you're in the US though, the local version would probably make more sense. That way when your friends want one too to play alongside you (which is not how it is designed, but is possible to engineer) they can nip down to the local shops rather than hunt down an Asian one too.

1-2 is definitely way faster after killing the dragon - the bit at the end with the blue eyed knight is much simplet when you can afford to hang back and take out his entourage first. OK, maybe you still have to run through most of it, but it's still quicker, and that makes a shortcut in my book

ufarn posted:Can anyone link me to some shops that ship the game to Europe? My order just got deleted as their supplier had run out of copies, and all the local shops price the game at ~25-50% more. Don't know if you're still looking, but I have some import copies I brought back from HK a while ago. Asian version - so if you're specifically looking to play alongside Americans this isn't for you. But other than that the two are basically the same, and it works just fine. If you're interested I'll post one out to UK for £43 and mainland Europe for £45. You can reach me at rabjohnson at gmail rather than get in the way of this (amazingly fast moving) thread. Also, I am currently very angry that my TV is currently in pieces with all the wires boxed up. Reading the last 50 pages of this thread, there is nothing I want to do more now than fire it up myself and finally get past Maneater...

Just had an odd bug on the Maneater fight Headed to the central bit, as makes sense, and sure enough a little while in the second Maneater spawned. However, after trying to double-team me once the second flew off - and never returned, even after I'd killed the first. Anyone know what causes this bug and how to respawn him/avoid it happening? In the end I suicided, but am worried it will happen again

Hamburger Test posted:Were you wearing the thief ring? More stuff on the 3-2 boss: yes, I was. The first kept coming back though, didn't occur to me that that might matter. Will try it again and see how I get on. Thanks! ghostinmyshell posted:I wonder what could be the record for lowest level/speed run for this game. Someone did it with a Soul Level 1 royal a while back - or at least did a significant portion. I found this very interesting as it totally proved that this game isn't about grinding - although that might make it easier it's not necessary. My first instinct for a gimmick character would be one who used no magic ever - given the over-riding theme of 'magic is evil and summoned this fog'. I don't yet know how the plot ties together though and how valid that view of it is - not finished the game yet. A no magic playthrough would be interesting though, especially one that relied on minimal arrows and basically just meleeing stuff to death (perferably punching with the Hand of God for bonus awesome points).

Hamburger Test posted:They really should. This makes me sad. I am doomed to play this offline as my halls at Uni don't allow us to connect game machines to the network. I suspect I'll get a sudden rush of excitement again at Christmas when I pop home - until then my world is a lonely one. Edit: On the plus side, The Old Monk fight was therefore ridiculously easy! boatiemathmo fucked around with this message at 23:26 on Oct 18, 2009 |

Hamburger Test posted:If you can get world 2 to pure white the Dragon Bone Smasher is made for you. Apart from that you'd have to upgrade a Great Sword or Claymore depending on how big you want your sword to be. 3-2 boss: The Dragon Bone Smasher (Keel Smasher in Asian version) kicked rear end for this fight. First half the first maneater kept crouching down clutching his head - a great opportunity to give him a real headache. Did have to switch out to a Dragon Long Sword for when both were around though. The only downside was having to do the fight without any armour - and even still rolling and somewhat clunky. That just made me feel that little bit more badass - naked man with enourmous sword takes on 2 massive gargoyles and somehow wins. Edit: Fixed code.
