I believe the trick is to KO the Boss at the exact same time as a few grunts. The timing has to be just right. The boss and the grunts must disappear simultaneously. At least that's what I think.
I use Weapon Rank II or III boosts on pretty much any lower level stage. I use Weapon Slot II or III on higher level stages and Network Links. Definitely helps.
I really would like to make use of all my excess silver and gold materials. I still have a lot. Sell them for rupees, perhaps? You can do that with weapons. Why not materials?
Why shouldn't the show be any different? It's much easier to have a silent protagonist in a video game than it is on TV. I'm not necessarily saying he shouldn't be the main character. But if he is, he is going to have to speak and have a personality. I figured if he wasn't the main character...
I guess asking if Link should be THE main character is a silly question. I've really been thrown for a loop since this series was announced. It's just that in order for him to be the main character, he would have to be very developed and would have to talk. Two things Link is not known for...
It's all going to come down to who the target demographic is. I just don't want it to be a "Game of Thrones Clone" if you know what I mean (it probably won't be). I really hope it's targeted at a younger demographic. All the fantasy shows targeted at older audiences have been done enough. I'd...
I wasn't quite sure what to think of this game when I first heard about it and purchased it. I had never played a Dynasty Warriors game.
300 hours of gameplay later, it was quite clear I was hooked on this game. One person described this game as "stupidly cathartic". Which it really is. It's...
Thanks for making that Smithy page! Been looking for a page like that. I find my best weapons on the "Rack Up Your KO Count" Lv12 challenge. I also use either the Weapon Rank III or the Weapon Slot III boost in the Apothecary. I've gotten many great weapons this way.
The only KO skill I look...
I understand. I just didn't feel that the Apothecary mixtures should be so blatant. I thought they should still help you to complete the challenge with all three criteria. I was able to overcome many tougher challenges using the Item Power-Up, but even then it was still tricky. That's why I...
While I do hope they add more potions, I'm not sure if I would want those exactly. But something not too far off. Like potions that raise defense, increase attack power, and maybe even one that costs a fortune but gives you permanent Focus Spirit for one battle. I'm sitting on A LOT of Gold and...
Indeed they are great for grinding. One thing I realized is that the higher Lv challenges have the best weapon drops. Especially with Apothecary mixtures. But even without the Apothecary, the Lv11 & 12 RUYKOC Challenges definitely have better weapons than lower Lv ones. At point, I was...
I just discovered a slightly better challenge square. It's also on the Master Quest Map in bottom left corner. It's another "Rack Up Your KO Count" challenge, only it's Lv12 instead of Lv11.
I find it strange that they gave the "Majora's Mask Moon" attack to the Great Fairy. Makes me wonder what they would give to Skull Kid if he were playable.
For those struggling to A Rank the entire map, I found a solution that has really helped me Ace many challenges. I use the Item Power-Up in the Apothecary. But I don't spam the bombs, I spam the bow. The bomb is actually not really effective. It takes too much time to throw and completely...
It's strange. I don't recall having any trouble with the 1,000 KO challenge with Link/Darunia. It certainly wasn't the toughest challenge on the map (for me). For Link, I mainly just ran around and used YYX and Strong Attack. For Darunia, I mainly used YYYX and Special Attack occasionally...
Getting A Ranks can be very stressful. Even at Level 100+ with all maxed out defense badges, a single hit from a Stalchild can hurt your chances of getting an A on some stages. It's especially bad on stages that have no recommended element and require you to take less than 4,000 damage to get an...
I'm glad it worked well for you. I guess it is pretty hard to reach this square. I had already completed the Master Quest Map and was working on the Twilight Princess Map when I needed to get some materials and EXP.
You don't even need to use your best character and weapons for this map. That's...
At one point, I was struggling to find materials from Imprisoned and Argorok. I also needed many of my warriors to level up and get better weapons. Then, I went back to the Master Quest Adventure Map and stumbled across one square that caught my attention. Near the northeast corner of the map (I...
Cuccos are terrible. For one challenge with a summoner that summoned Cuccos, a Cucco KO'd me with two hits. So I made it a priority to take out the summoner the next time. As I have suggested before, using the Item PowerUp in the Apothecary really helps.
For the Argoroks, I think I was fortunate a few times. One of the Argoroks always seemed to get stuck in a northwest part of the map.
As for the bow, here's my plan of attack:
1. Item Power-Up in Apothecary.
2. Get foes clustered together.
3. Regardless if they're guarding or not...
Strange. I don't recall having much trouble with the Darunia 1,000 KO challenge. I did struggle a little the first time because of Argorok, but you just have to know where they are and avoid them. The Item Power-Up should have helped a little, clearing large hordes with bombs. But I also used...
SOLUTION:
Every challenge in the Twilight Map I face that I am unable to complete with an A, I use the ITEM POWERUP in the Apothecary. And when you do that, spam the BOW and the BOMBS. Use the bow to defeat tougher foes and use bombs to clear large hordes and keeps. It sounds simple, because it...
I agree with those saying that having foes deal an excessive amount of damage is a cheap way to up the difficulty. They really should have made an apothecary mixture to up your defense. And they could have made it super expensive, so at least you'd still have to work for it. But at least it...
