[quote name='daroga']:::SPOILERS:::



Nope, if you go into the mirror right away in the battle with Dimitri you can avoid the bad ending altogether. :) (It helps having a friend play through it who's a 1/2 step ahead of you in the game. ;) )

:::END SPOILERS:::[/QUOTE]

Interesting. I didn't know you could access that boss unless you had gotten the 'bad ending'.
 
hey gizmo...wanna help me out?
[quote name='SilverPaw750']Urm...one more question. Apparently I need Mina's Talisman to get the good ending? What if I sold it? :D[/QUOTE]
[quote name='SilverPaw750']How do I get into the two circled doors on the floor of the lost village?
[/QUOTE]
And: How do I get through that dark portal at the bottom of the tower?

:D
 
[quote name='Amano']Oh, and I keep it in my mouth when I know I'm going after a boss. No one else uses it. ¬ ¬[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I do the same thing. I keep it on the very tip of my lips.

[quote name='gizmogc']You get the ability after yopu defeat Persona (I think thats the name)[/QUOTE]

Yeah, you get the ability to enter mirrors after you defeat the bigger version of Paranoia. ;)
 
the circled yellow area on the map can only be accessed by going through the bottom.

as for that warp point in the bottom of the tower, that's the absolute last area of the game. so you can only gain access to that area by not getting any of the bad endings.
 
[quote name='Arikado']Yeah, I do the same thing. I keep it on the very tip of my lips.

I had the P right.... :)
 
There are about three or four (two in the same room) Final Guard's floating around The Pinnacle, and one Final Guard can be found as you make your way through The Abyss.
 
[quote name='Dingleberry']guh...i need the Final Guard's sould. Anyone know where he is?[/QUOTE]
He's a big armored thing in The Pinnacle that doesn't take much damage from attacks. Can't miss him.

Also, I don't understand why everybody is freaking out about having their stylus ready during boss fights. You guys know that the seal won't go away if you don't touch it, right? The "timer" starts once you touch the screen for the first time.
 
As far as I know, there's no use for the bell. Just an easter egg of sorts. Same with the piano room. I haven't figured out anything with thoughs, the guide doesn't mention anything of it, and gamefaq'ers haven't figured out anything last I checked either.
 
The game is definately picking up. I just got double jump by beating that crow dude. Any suggestions on the best weapon? I'm using the battle axe right now.
 
Im using the golden axe right now, I find using an axe is a lot more powerful than other weapons, later on you will have to use boss souls to get the best weapons though
 
I'm curious to find out what that light was after I killed the magic stealing dude (who btw is the easiest boss ever). I'll proally find out soon enough.

That's so hardcore that other people do that.
 
[quote name='SilverPaw750']:D[/QUOTE]

You have to beat the fire guy at the top of the castle first, then go to the center room. Now you can go into the dark portal.

The guide mentions that both the bell and the piano are just there for fun.
 
[quote name='Roufuss']The guide mentions that both the bell and the piano are just there for fun.[/QUOTE]

Does it really? Eh, it seemed like a lot of the "extra" information was scattered, so I probably just didn't remember. My bad.
 
I just ordered this game for like £19, got a good deal on it (£7.50 tokens off Amazon DO help), heh...

I CAN'T WAIT!
 
going through the game again right now to see if I can get my map/soul percentage up. I am at 72+% souls and 99.9% map completion, I'm not sure what I haven't explored. Do the mirror's count as map completion percentage?

No, the mirrors don't count. You're missing one single room, probably a hidden wall somewhere. Check a map online or wander around with the peeping eye soul.
 
[quote name='SilverPaw750']I still don't know how to get through that dark portal at the bottom of the tower - SOMEONE TELL ME DAMMIT![/QUOTE]

It is a story event, the game will tell you when it's time to go.

I do not want to spoil anything so I won't type it out, but just leave it for now.
 
I got the game! =D

My mom decided tp stop at Tsrget and pick up some flashlights for this hurricane, so I picked it up. they didn't have a guide. =[


I can't wait to crack it open! I was contemplating getting Spyro Shadow Legacy too, but I didn't.

Well I'm at the final boss...so when does this story event happen? (already beaten him once and gotten the meh ending, plan to do it agian w/ mirror)

"final" boss.
 
Hmm.

Started the game, beat the first boss. Then I explored a little more before dying.

Where you meet Julius, where he jumps over that bridge. How do I get over that?

You don't once you go under you're already inside. Just play through and explore and you'll pop out at the other side of it soon.
 
oh! Alrighty! =D

I played a little more. Got a Manticore soul, which is pretty nifty. I'm having a little trouble finding save spots, so after I explore a little more I backtracked and used an old save spot. I'm hoping I'll find a new one soon. =P

This game'll definately keep me busy. Very fun. Can't wait to find the guide.

thanks! I was definitely wondering about the mirrors. got 100% about 2 days ago. accidentally actually. I was wandering around trying to find out where those double Final Guards + the mothman soul were, and ran into a save point that I didn't explore :). also got Death's Scythe, but it isn't as cool as the Claimh Solias.
 
[quote name='mcgavin27']Who else votes this portable game of the year? I sure as hell do.[/QUOTE]

No doubt. Although, for me, I think it's game of the year, period. Haven't played a game this refined since Half-Life 2.

Definitely what I've been eager for all year long, and it made me very happy. I'd give it at least Portable GotY. Too many games are still coming out. And something has my game-geek sense tingling when I think about Mario Kart.
 
to anyone that has started Game + mode (where you get your weapons and so on):

what souls do they take away from you. I am still working on my first game (about 17 hours in) and am collecting as many souls as I can. just wondering what I'll be without if I start + mode. just boss/ability (grey) souls?
 
The ones I'm missing:
Paranoia, Bat Company, Zephyr, Rahab, Puppet Master, Malphas, Balore, & Flying Armor, all required for map advancement.

I'm also missing Black Panther, which makes sense.

The movement souls get yanked (jumps, speed in sand, water, ground, etc.).

OK, I'm angry I just "beat" death. Right before I sealed him he sent out those giant skulls that chomp you from each side of the screen. So after I sealed him the skulls chomped me and killed me...I beat him, I even got the seal right on the first try, but no, this game hates me, now I'm gonna have to do the whole battle over again.
 
How do you get the New Game + to work. On gamefaqs it says it has the same requirement as boss rush mode does. But i don't see an option for a new game +.
 
This game is insane.

I just beat the boss that allows you to, like...break ice blocks, So I go to the next area, and there's fucking a million paths. I have 2 seals. I've already found 2 doors that I can't open becuase I don't have the right seals. I shut it off, but I'll have to do some MAJOR exploring soon.

Is there anyway to double jump, or must I find a soul?

Oh, and the Manticore Soul rocks,. It's the only way I could beat the lets-you-break-ice-blocks guy (Balore?).

Beat it with the "correct" ending and it will appear above your old saved game.
 
[quote name='sixersballernum3']I'll have to do some MAJOR exploring soon.[/QUOTE]

Well, this is Castlevania. ;)

[quote name='sixersballernum3']Is there anyway to double jump, or must I find a soul?[/QUOTE]

It's a soul. Don't worry, you get it relatively early.
 
Well...

I just beat that Dmitri guy, and then that crow chick, so I got double jump. I've found many areas where there's a screw like wall seperating me and an item. how sdo I get past it?
