Just beat the game last night, the last boss in the Valley of Defilement was WAY more epic than the final boss of the game,... which was really weird/lame.

Everyone who's playing this should go to Stonefang mines, and in 2-2 in the tunnels kinda close to the lava pits areas is a sword called the Dragon Long Sword +1. You can boost that to Long Dragon Sword +5 VERY easily since all the items are very plentiful in that dungeon, and its strength becomes like 350, PLUS fire-stun with each hit. Amazing weapon so such an easy catch, and you'll still with it for the entire game too once you get it.

That sword is super good. I love it. Although, you're really exaggerating with 350 attack power. It's not even nearly that, and even the strongest weapon (in terms of sheer power) isn't 300.

That said, I haven't gotten invaded once yet during my first playthrough. I did invade people like 3-4 times but they gang up with blue phantoms for a 4v1 fight. :(

I can't wait til I beat the game.

I don't think I exaggerated it. It's 175 Attack, and 175 Fire-Attack, it brings by attack power to 350! Unless that 175 Fire-Attack doesn't actually increase damage? Just a measure of how often it'll fire-stuns enemies?

There are definitely weapons with > 300 attack.  Perhaps not base weapons, but my +5 Crushing Great Sword has well over 300.

I'm mad right now the false king keep kick my ass I'm LV75 and doge majority of his attack but some how he always ends up besting me. I got him down 80% and then everything took a turn. I tried to summen souls but I get the retarted people that don't know how to get by the fire from the dragon. Maybe I should kill the dragon it might save me the heart brake of seeing my partners in crime die to such a cheep death.

PS I hate soul suck. I was a victim to it about 3 times out of the 14 bouts.

I also mean the weapon's base stats, without the added stat bonuses.

I don't recommend doing that until subsequent play throughs, as getting the good ending lands you a Soul to learn Soul Sucker.

I, no offense, find it kind of sad that you manage to get hit by Soul Sucker... it has like 5-10 seconds of "casting" and you have to be in direct melee contact when it ends to actually be effected by it...

Also, you'll find that 200,000 souls is really not a lot (it takes me well more than that to level up >: )

Well when I get hit with it. it's normally when I go for a 2 hit combo and pull away... he normally dose a combo before the soul suck but sometimes he did it out of the blue I even rolled back about 3 times and he some how he got me with it. also when he charges me is when I normally strike him.

Anyways every move in this game is telegraphed  so you should be ashamed for dieing on anything.

Also I find every last stage boss battle easy other then the false king.
Dragon god was a joke.

Storm king I could avoid every shot by hiding behind rocks.

Old Monk was easily best it.(but I do hate the enemies placement on this Lv. IE stairs where you can fall easily)
The bosses before the last stage bosses are more dangerous.

I Did Feel sorry for killing the maiden and the monk since

first game I had mixed feeling about. At first i was like alright lets kill some demons! to man what have I done.

I do agree, I think the Old King is the hardest boss in the game, and at that, the best boss (as far as a fight perspective goes.)  However, the end of 5...-4?  Was by far the most epic.

Old King is hard as hell if you do try to actually kill him. Shoving off some health for Demonbrandt isn't too hard however

Here's something EVERY player needs to go. Go to 2-2 Tower of Lataria, and rescue then kill Yurt the Silent Chief, because his armor is BADASS and awesome. Then, go to Boletaria and go to the dragon nest area (where the blue and red dragon sit and chill), and get the Ring of Great Strength. This'll double your equip burden capacity, so you move super quick as though in light-class weight, but with really good armor. This helps TREMENDOUSLY when facing off against the Old King.

Can't tell me this isn't badass!

You didn't bother saying what happens if you let Yurt in the Nexus WITHOUT killing him ;p

That said, don't kill yurt in 3-2 (not 2-2), instead rescue him and kill a boss, THEN kill him in the Nexus: it's safer, in 3-2 his body could fall all the way down and you'd never get his armor. Plus, if you're overburdened, you'd lose his stuff in 3-2, while in the Nexus you just go naked and go see Stockpile Thomas.


That said, don't kill more than ONE boss after rescuing Yurt before killing him. The consequences would be dire.

Finally got my hands on this and its great but so damn frustrating. I cant stand dyeing and having to work my way back to where I was its annoying as hell. I was also stupid enough to take my armor off so I could pick something up only to fall to my death. I was already a soul so now I have little life and no armor, mission accomplished.. this game is hard.

Err yeah I dropped the armor to see what was on the ground, I fell before I could pick up the item or any of my armor back. I'm going to have to wait a few days before I find the will to put this game back on.. But, I still think its a great game. If only I had the patience to play it properly.

got the game yesterday and played for a bit and had a blast.
I got trolled into jumping from the highest point in the Nexus.

Also, rolled a thief and not sure if it was a well suited choice for a first character.

Im not sure if my version I aquired from Hong Kong is different from the American version and if the iventory is different in both because I cant tell what all the odd symbols mean in the item stats page or what to even look for when checking stats on a weapon or piece of armor. I've also just learned you dont have to play the levels in order which is what I've been trying to do and unsuccesfully at that, I seem to be facing boss's way out of my league.
