I'll have to work at unlocking that then. I haven't even been to all of the zodiac chambers yet. lol

So that's how you get the 1,000,000 score. I should really try out 9.0 more often.
Yah, you will need the aquarius blade in order to get all blades.
And 9.0 isn't too hard once you get the hang of the monsters in a chapter-where they come from, their attack patterns and from that it's all a matter of dodging.

Although chapter 24 is holding me back, the great sacred treasure is boss blocking me pretty bad, it's been hours and I've noticed I can get past all the trials before it without using any powers. So I'm changing my power layout to fit the battle style I'm needing to defeat TGST- namely aries armor 4, charge shot 2, and heal 4. I actually do use heal during the previous stages sometimes, I'm not wanting to risk it because aries armor is pretty beast- it's how I beat cragalanch with an arm on intensity 9. My pred cannon seems to go right through crag's defenses in chapter 24 though, so I get through that battle usually with minimal damage.

So my warning is the chapters that are obviously going to be hard to do on 9.0(18, 24, and 25) I haven't tried 23 yet, but I'm thinking transparency should greatly help me against the heart. It's all a matter of strategizing sets that are made to beat the chapter, that and reading the monsters' movements.

Update: WOOOOO. I went through with my plan on using aries armor and charge shots and barely beat TGST after my SECOND time in crisis mode, my heart was beating 200 BPS I swear. Only one more left until all 9.0s are done.

Way to be a spoiler man :I I didnt wanna know what that box gave.

I had no trouble doing 18 on 9.0.
Until I got to Pit's Body.
I died without landing a single blow! D:

Maybe I should practice with a low-valued Magnus Club in FFA. :I Not that it has the same mechanics or anything

I had no trouble with pit's body. I just stayed about mid range from him until he shot and dodged then went in with a combo. That's also pretty ironic how we had so much trouble on the same level but on two different parts.

Also @fenrir: I'll add you and look through the previous pages to add other people, I probably should have done this before you opened a room but better late than never.
EDIT: actually I probably will do that tomorrow night, it's pretty late and I spent pretty much my entire afternoon+night trying to finish 9.0, so I'm beat.

D: When I fought him, he was impossible to dodge! He'd fire a charged shot, and then use homing continuous fire when I dodged. D: And he fires three in a row, its almost impossible to dodge. >_<

That's why I suggested being mid-range, or to be more specific he's just out of magnus's club range, which is why I can quickly go in for the combo-although I think once or twice he did manage to hit me with continuous fire but I was already in the unflinchable dash animation of going in for a combo. It can't hurt to try.

I still don't have all the weapons unlocked yet though.

I'm right now just going for weapon unlocks. The Aurum blade is pissing me off though, as I'm taking out all of the turrets during the boss fight, but never enough for the 8 required.

Strange, I have the aurum blade and I didn't even know how to unlock it.

Yeah, it is the Aurum Core boss fight that reminds me of Tron for some reason. Anyways, you're supposed to take out at least 8 of the turrets surrounding that boss. And I always focus on the turrets first. I even run laps around the whole arena to make sure that I got them all. For some reason, it isn't unlocking. Chapter 15: Destroy 8 of the Aurum Core's guns.

They regenerate when the boss gets low on health and fire at you more rapidly. Take them out first, then start attacking the boss, and stop to take them out again when they reappear. Hope this helped ^_^


EDIT: So guys, just out of curiosity, does Instant Death Attack work on bosses?

Flintlock Staves aren't too shabby either. They pack a really nice punch.

Really? That's my favorite staff in appearance at least.

What about the laser staff? It's on the one I get the most

Laser Staff has the longest range of any weapon that isn't named Earthmaul Club.

I personally like Insight, have a decent Flintlock too

I've never really used staffs, I should really get around to trying a few out though.

I like the SSB4 thing in your sig. O: I wish I knew how to do stuff like that. xD SSB is my favorite series. I used to have a list of 30+ Nintendo characters I'd like to see appear in one lol. :p Including Chibi-Robo xD
Check out the Smash Wii U thread and ask for a guy named StarPhoenix, he's the guy who's been making all of those sigs. ;)

Especially since a lot of the time, the dialogue changes depending on what type of weapon you're using xD

Also, you misspelled review in your signature. :3

That's why I suggested the Wii U thread to begin with. Not to mention it's also a fun thread to check out IMO. ;)

"Looks"

I will admit, some of the best lines comes from Pyrrhon.

Speaking of Pyrrhon, was he evil or not? I really couldnt tell. o-o I dunno if the merging with the Aurum Brain was an accident or if he planned it.

Also, here's something fun to notice; You know how Hades talks about a wish in Chapter 10, where he mentions killing a little girl's parents? Theres a few silly pictures of the family in the lower screen.
The girl is the same girl that picks up the ring in chapter 18 ;)

Just got done talking about codecs in the Wii U thread.

Pretty much everyone wants to see some this time around with Palutena, Hades, and Viridi. BD

The aurum themselves remain mysterious too. You can't really tell that they were "evil," because they weren't wanting destruction like Hades, just to spread like normal life as Viridi says. But as for Pyrrhon, you can't tell if he's evil or not because all you know is he wanted to level up, he never really said what he'd do after that.

Also a REALLY interesting thing I noticed as I did 24 on 9.0, the easiest place to get narrowly avoided shots in air battles is right as those super fast and hp-heavy monoeye and mik come from behind the monomiknose. Just go in a circle like normal and I always get 5 or more shots to narrowly avoid me. If I were to guess why is because their shots always go to where you were and have little time to home in on you, in the perfect combination with the speed the shots move at.

I also added everyone's FC from pages 40+ for now, again my FC is 0473-7784-2867.

The Aurum brain is a total troll. xD IMPLYING
