Bebpo said:Quick question. I've gone through all the maps and I swear I have all the hidden rooms/normal rooms on the map (going by the maps online) covered before the bonus dungeon (which is worth 100% right?) and my total is 898.60%...is that normal?
The ending where you don't heal him is much better than the one where you do, I find.Error2k4 said:try attackingwhen he is a vampirevincent
Unless there's a secret equippable item or something along those lines to do that, I don't think so.Red Scarlet said:Does he actually lower the price eventually?
Bebpo said:Ok, I've been trying thefight in the nest of evil ALL DAY. I've probably tried 20-40 times and it's just the most frustratingly BS battle in the game. They do SO MUCH GODDAMN DAMAGE. They'll fire dual missles, one missle and lightning, dual lightning, etc... and if I try to do dual attacks they'll keep hitting me out of it for massive damage against ME.Dual Frankenstein
I'm only around lvl.45, is this even possible? I can't see anyone doing a no damage fight or something against these guys >_<

It takes a little work. Equip Charlotte with the black hole type spell. That sucks in the bullets and maybe the missiles. Use either Hydro Sto...erm...Divine Storm or a thousand blades as the dual crashes as soon as the fight starts. To beat them the first time I just spammed a lot of magic.
Bebpo said:I don't think I have that black hole type spell and whenever I use 1,000 blades they hit me out of it EVERY TIME
For instance I just tried doing a 1,000 blades DS at the start of the fight and they both shot a missle hitting me while I was stuck in the 1,000 blades frames and both together did THREE HUNDRED DAMAGE right at the start and I have like 740 HP.

Bebpo said:Ok, I just said screw it and beat them by spamming Hex with R and doing critical attacks with VK while using super potions, high potions, tonics, and everything I had until they were DEAD. Hopefully the final section I have left doesn't require much potions or I'll need to go grind some money ^^;

If anyone's interested how overpowered Maria was in Rondo, someone did a 17 minute (I think) run of Rondo with Maria on Magic Engine.

I would've tried that awhile ago, but my Magic Engine doesn't have recording enabled/allowed.
I Am Error said:I need the armor for the nun's outfit and the thick glasses to complete two quests. I think I may have sold both of them. Is my only hope to go online and purchase them?
Also why can't I sell things online, the option for me is disabled.
Arg, I'm not at home at the moment. I will check online later tonight, I am sure someone is selling them. I got the nun's shoes that way.skinnyrattler said:Or pick them up on a replay. Let me know if you need them, I'll hop online now and sell them to you.
Red Scarlet said:I thought some of the badguys from Rondo showing up in this were kinda cool. I'm a part of the problem. :lol
junkster said:It made me realize just how little effort went into sequels.
I never knew the marshes, frogs, caves, and exploding tree enemies, were in both Rondo and CV4. Or how a bunch of the DoS enemies were in Rondo. A pirate ship in Rondo and CV3.
I enjoy nostalgia but they need to get cracking on a new approach and lots of new content. Some linear levels, multiple castles, SOTN level detail, less quantity/more quality weapons, more abilities, and more attention to music would go a long way.
The gameplay is still solid and worth a purchase after all these years, but they'll never achieve classic status with me anymore unless they shake things up a lot.
yudaan said:On the contrary, there is much effort put into the game. But due to the low budget nature of the games nowadays, corners have to be cut in order for it to remain in budget (ie most enemies getting recycled in favour of it). But this doesn't mean IGA and friends halfassed the game.
There are many new enemies, just not nearly enough. The game IS also well designed, but it's the 5th retread of what we're used to (though I am one of those minds who think DoS is better than SotN). And Ruined IS a new, if not a different approach to the formula, though it may feel more of the same. The game is also pretty much all that you listed so I don't see the complaints (hell DoS did a few of the things you listed).
And I'd rather not see IGA shake things up with the series (since it's gone through that already) but rather see them go back to what made the series a classic to begin with.

I'm only around lvl.45, using VK, and I doubt I have the best armor/equip or anything. Is this even possible? I can't see anyone doing a no damage fight or something against these guys >_<
Herein lies the problem. Those who play the game should leave all hope of good level design at the gates when they enter. Really, unless a double miracle happens, no freeroaming CV game will have good level design. Even SotN, had haphazarly slapped together levels which was made good only though speedrunning it (as well as the games after it).junkster said:Some levels were nice, the 2 circle shaped ones sucked, and so did a few others. The main castle was boring and only had a few sections, there's only 1 memorable new music track, and the game was amazingly short.
And this is the result of the game being low budget, though it's nothing new to the series.I stand by the fact that the level design is completely halfassed, aside from maybe the Egyptian levels, they all feel exactly the same with new skins. There's not enough different types of terrain, puzzles, and events that are exclusive to each new level.
I've since given up all hope of the games ever getting back to ZOMG AWESOME good that is CV3, X68000 or Rondo long ago. Now I play CV games to beat bosses at low levels.It's a step in the right direction, but it takes the series way too long to move forward. They've been baby-stepping the whole way which is why they'll never achieve greatness to me.
Unfortunately, that's the mentality we all have. "/They're fun enough that I'll keep buying em though.
All the rooms in the final area are like this. They will open eventually. And the Stonewall ability helps a lot in this situation, especiallyif you're underleveled or didn't do all the quests to raise your max HP.xir said:mywas to put on heavy armor, and lots of defensive things, and just keep left shoulder button jumping and falling. after about a 1 min the door opens up. you dont have to fight them.Dual Frankenstein
LakeEarth said:Is Record 4 worth getting? I just can't get the bastard to drop it, and since he's only in the Nest of Evil you can't just leave the room and come back constantly to get it. Record 5 kicks ass though.

I thought I was clever by fighting whilebugger.wearing the locket
Is the spell in a painting somewhere?
