When you guys say "lightning gun" against that one boss, are you referring to (item spoilers)

Spoiler

Inertial Pulse, a semi-automatic shot, or "lightning gun" which is the actual name of a short range automatic, auto-targeting lightning bolt?

Spoiler

This hornet boss is kicking my ass. How do I kill it?!

Weapon spoilers:

Spoiler

Shards helps. Also, if you glitch it's little buddy bees, they all explode at once and cause damage to it if they're close--a lot of damage actually

Thanks. I actually did that shortly after before you replied but then there are

metal blocks stopping me from drilling the bricks.

You're looking in the wrong place.

Spoiler

Look at the top of Kur not Ukkin Na.

Wow!

Incredibly helpful. I loved your idea of having three maps

Glad it helped! Someone suggested Metroid style generic dots for the map, so I decided to have one like that, one with full spoilers and one with no items since it was pretty easy and less spoilery.

no way. NO WAY!

I just realized right near the end of my 3rd playthrough, that you could

ride the giant head in Indi

.

Man, that would have really helped on my speedrun!

Awkward

The final boss. Fuuuck this. Goin to sleep.

It's not a great boss IMO. The

Spoiler

flamethrower

weapon is a huge help though, you can also try

Spoiler

Data bomb, and don't forget to glitch bomb the satellites, especially the first wave. Kill them ASAP after breaking the first blue core, as the later ones that spawn are way easier to dodge

EDIT: I struggle badly with the dash action on the stick. Much easier with the d-pad, but I'm used to controlling with the stick now because of the 8-way shooting.

What no use the d pad. The 8 way shooting with it is perfectly fine


edit: there's a passcode in the credits! anyone try it?

 

[Chitown B]

Is it too high? Is it really? Less vague:

Spoiler

jump, dash up, shoot your drone up, hatch it and it should reach the top of that "too high" thing

I am like 25 hours into the game and JUST realized

Spoiler

you can hatch the drone early

*facepalm*

however I still have the same issue with the metal that the other person does. edit: nevermind, you can dash through them. I think it's weird that you can only do one layer of dash but sometimes you can do two.

Go to the top of Kur not Ukkin Na. "Too high" was in reference to that. But the drone thing will help there

Axiom Verge will probably never be on PS+. Love that he's being so transparent about this.

You get that warning for anything starting with with Axio. And yeah, don't try it on a normal save file. I tried a totally different passcode starting with axio and it didn't seem to do anything, maybe this is the only one that works though. I assume it's some sort of cheat.

The purple background with the green lighting strike weapon icon, I think the first. Not at home at the moment so can't check the name.

I don't know why I used the stick for this at all. Played Rogue Legacy recently exclusively with the d-pad. I'll re-train, because that dash is become much more important. >_<

Damn, I was holding out for that since it seems like every Indie game known to man is making its way to PS+...

Man the secrets are really secretive. Found hidden areas and weapons just by accident and experimentation.

 

[Sir TapTap]

People say this, but it's really super false. There are more indie games coming month on month than PS+ could ever possibly cover. I wish more devs would be ardently against PS+ because while I love it, encouraging people to wait for PS+ is really nasty all around.

oh Voranj. Yeah I used that all the time.

...there way too many weapons people could be calling "lightning gun" in retrospect. I try to only use the proper names since I have them all now.

I think he also said it won't get a discount for 6 more months. Good stuff

Yep, they were clear about that even before launch which is also cool. I don't think I heard about PS+ before today, but glad they're holding out against it.

Edit:

Man the secrets are really secretive. Found hidden areas and weapons just by accident and experimentation.

I found a new minor secret passage bridging two rooms yesterday when completing the map again. There's some cool ones that don't even lead to items, but let you avoid enemies or skip to parts of the map a bit easier, feels great. I yelled "oh shit!" when I found this one, it's so simple but cool. Done that a few times in this game now. That third boss.

Spoiler

try glitching his wasps, then when he gets near the little floating white things, shoot them and they'll explode. This takes down about 1/4 of his health at least on Hard. Makes it MUCH easier.

 

[Wreck-It Ralph]

I think you're confusing the switches for pickups. Shoot them and they should open laser doors elsewhere in the room.

Lol you're right . Skipped all the text, they must have explained that somewhere

edit: God dammit, nevermind... brain fart. The trick I described below is for the Sentinel.

There's a (potentially unintentional) trick to that one. For some reason you can go back to the previous room to grab some health from the regular enemies, and the boss will retain its existing damage. As long as you don't stray too far.

Props to Sir TapTap for the hint (who else?).

I'm still missing at least one item in Zi. I have no idea where it is. Is there a guide with all the items in zi or something?

If you're talking about the room that should take you down to the 9 laser hallway, glitch the enemies so you can jump on them, go left where the laser enemy is and drill up. There will be a path that takes you to the right.

Yeah, but typically they pick the ones that score well critically and are worth half a damn.

(Transistor, Valiant Hearts, Child of Light, Towerfall, Fez)

Really? Felt like much less to me. I guess I tune out a lot of stuff I don't care about. I do skim through the PSN store every few days as I'm always on the lookout for new digital games, which tend to be the ones holding my interest lately but also tend to drop with barely any notice.

Yeah he seems like a right idiot to be fair.

 

[Crypt]

I didn't have too much trouble with the game until the final boss fight. It feels impossibly hard without the trick I found on youtube. I think I played it about 15 times before looking for help online.

Took me 15 hours to beat with 95% map coverage and 73% of items. I really hope there is a second one. This was the best game I've played this year.

Yeah I did not enjoy the final boss despite it being conceptually cool. After 10 to 15 attempts and suffering carpal tunnel pain from mashing square and double-tapping directional buttons non-stop I decided to go hunt down the

as suggested in this very thread, which suddenly made the boss a cakewalk.

From maddeningly hard to lack of challenge... has to be a better balance! Only a tiny speck on a largely sublime experience though.

I'm completely stuck after getting the

. I've gone everywhere I could and I can't seem to progress. Am I supposed to do something with the power source? Because I can't do anything with it. Any hints?

Also, is this jump to the left supposed to be impossible with the high jump right now? Because it seems like I should be able to make it.

[Sir TapTap]

The problem with the final boss is

Spoiler

It's really just a DPS race and there's no reasonable way to dodge it. The satellites drop plenty of health WHEN they drop health, but that's basically RNG. It depends very heavily on your weapon, and is basically impossible with certain ill fitting weapons, crazy easy with the Flamethrower, and pretty manageable with the Data Bomb or Energy Tether, but even then it's not very fun. The boss should have been something more like boss 3 where you break off bits to change the pattern to something more manageable. Boss design in general is the weak point IMO, nothing else felt lacking to me.

Yes, I'm pretty sure you can get across that, or you can get into Indi as well.

I'm roughly 70% into the game's maps and I am salivating at the prospect of a second game. I love this game. I hope the sequel improves the bosses because those have been my biggest disappointments. That's about it.

This will be my 2015 GOTY. No doubt about it.

Heck, it's my game of the generation so far.

yes

Thanks, didn't want to spend ages making my way to the fas side of the map to find that I needed something else.

Is anybody else finding the boss fights too easy in this on Normal? I struggled with the first one but that was partly down to me not really knowing what I was doing that early on but following that the others have followed really simply patterns and I either get them on my first attempt or on my second. They just seem to be a matter of standing in the right place and jumping or shooting for a couple of seconds at a time.

I'm not suggesting that I'm good at stuff like this, if anything I'd suggest that I'm not and it's really surprising just how easy it's been.

You miss a lot of neat things in this game if you don't glitch all new enemies to understand what they do.

First and second boss are super easy, next couple are just puzzles. Boss design is a bit inconsistent, certainly not a strong point. I don't really recommend playing hard just for harder boss fights, the hardest boss fights are hard for BS reasons IMO.

Grapple along the ceiling at the top, then teledash into the "cage" at the far left of the outcropping. Dash when you are swinging and basically kissing the ceiling. You can also use the drone with extended launch after grappling off the left side, but it's harder.

I got this game today and the music is great. I'm an hour or two into it and came across the address disruptor a little while ago. When you're in the game exploring, it's almost a hypnotic way in which I find myself going about uncovering the map and finding new items and secrets. It's fun, but I'm not sure it will get the hooks in me deep yet.
