Cheat Codes: ------------ Submitted by: David K. Useful Tips and Tricks: ----------------------- Written by Dr_Simulacrum -=Basics * This game has controller support. * Basic movement is with the left analog. * Punch, Attack and Dodge are performed with X, Y and B though they are also duplicated with other buttons on basic controllers. -=Combat * Basic combat is as you would expect. * Enemies approach you and attack. * You approach enemies and attack. * But the element of the game is to "intercept" an enemies attack as he attempts it. * You do this with the punch. * This puts the enemies in a "stunned" state but more importantly it powers up your attack. * Obviously you use the Dash to evade attacks as well as position yourself in battle. -=Hints & Tips This game uses an interesting mixture of risk and reward and opportunity. * First opportunity. * "Intercepting" an enemy attack not only puts IT into a stunned state. * But also other enemies withing its proximity. * Furthermore the powering up of your attacks can also be taken advantage of for enemies not so near. * You can power up your attack by stunning a slow insignificant enemy. Then dashing away towards a bothersome enemy and use this powered up state to damage it. * Simple…but important knowledge. -=Risk & Reward Often times against bothersome enemies, It may simply be more effective to find alternate means of damaging them besides "intercept" such as encircling or bouncing back projectiles. * It may also be worth taking a bit of damage to finish off said bothersome enemies as it seems some of them can regenerate health. * I'll only touch on the most "troublesome" bosses. -=Warlock This Boss can be challenging for many. He starts out fairly tame as all others. But once he enters what I like to call "Rock&Roll" mode. He can be a pain. * Once in this mode, extreme patience on your part will be required. * Avoid his eyeball shower by circling the arena. Taking care not to get entangled in the trees. * If he retreats into the trees don't follow. Simply allow him to come to you. * Once near you move towards him (I don't recommend dashing towards him as I'm not sure if there's cancel frames for the dash with intercept). * His attacks are all spell based. So you're looking for him to raise his arm to signal a possible intercept. * If your intercept is successful, make sure to land all 3 hits then quickly dash/retreat. * If your intercept fails retreat/dash away. * Once he starts spewing the second type of projectile and bomb. * This is where the "extreme" part of patience comes in. * Avoid his attacks by circling the arena and dashing as needed. * Don't dash haphazardly. Try to use basic movement to encircle and only use singular dash if possible. the 3 dashes in quick succession are best left for when you find yourself caught in the middle of his attack shower or if you find yourself getting cornered in the arena. * Let him come to you…look for that raised arm and intercept…most of the time you will fail. * But even if you do fail… Swing your sword! By doing this you will bounce back a few of his projectiles and possibly his bomb. This will grant you health. DON'T get greedy! * Swing your sword once maybe twice then dash away and begin calmly avoiding his attack shower. * Keep a cool head and you'll get that satisfying final swing… -=Mirror Image (Final) This Boss like all starts off simple. * Once he enters "Rock&Roll" mode he will increase his speed. But the real trouble is once you get him to 50% health. At this point he will become as fast as you if not faster. * So fast in fact more often than not he'll always be behind you (your back to him). * He will also start to intercept your intercept! This is the game trying to test (or break) you out of your comfort zone. At this point a change of tactics and strategy is needed. (No more Intercept). He will keep pace with you if you simply run and dash away from him. * The key is to use methodical dashes away from him. Either single dashes (all while running of course) or dashes that are spaced out by a few milliseconds…then a quick triple dash! * Basically what you're trying to do is to catch him stuck in the middle of a dash to gain some distance from him. My suggestion is just that a suggestion…gaining distance from him catching him locked in a dash is the key. * If you do manage to gain some distance from him…quickly turn to face him and swing your sword! You're trying to have your attack catch him stuck in a dash animation. * Once or twice then quickly retreat and let the chase continue. You will take damage if you attempt more than 1 or 2 swings. It's up to you to decide if this damage is to you is worth the damage to him… * If you find yourself close to death… continue to retreat as you will slowly regen some health…then you can continue the methodical dash….triple dash strategy. * Remember this boss tries to mirror what you are doing. * You can do it! |
