Good good...!


And well, put it this way: if it's that pricey to mod...there has to be a nice reward at the end of the tunnel.

So...JUST MOD IT, YOU HOBO!

The wood sword can wait...it's something you mod once you have $$$ and have everything else you need to buy/mod taken care of. But...then again, you can only mod so much per store before you have to go to the next stage's store to see if the old dude will do anything for it.

is that how it works? I was wondering why some statues will not let me level up weapons even though I have more than enough...also where do you think is the best place to gain yellow orbs? I need more! Seems like almost everytime I go to a shop, i end up spending most of it on elixirs... btw, what is that in your av? Is that the castrol supra?

Tis the Castrol Supra. Nice av, hey?

Anyhoo...there are lots of places where enemies respawn. That's one way to gain a bunch of $$$$--just keep cycling through those areas.

Also, to help gain your $$$ quicker, make sure you try to get a hang of timing out your ultimate techniques (those charged attacks). The more you can chain off, the more the orbs are worth...a great place to spam this is in the crypt stage against the respawning zombies. Just make sure you take care of the ones with the bows first so that you don't get shot from afar while charging.

What weapon are you armed with when you fight the worm...? Both the Lunar or Dragon Sword work pretty good in this situation.

You need to master the fight because later on in the stage, you hafta deal with TWO worms.

Hrm...well...I think you should have about 36 scarabs in total found by the time you're done this stage...? Something like that.

Yes, there is. There is quite a bit of backtracking allowed in the game--so to speak. I think the military station can be accessed via the main gates back in the city which you can still get back to from the sewers.

The only place where you may be SOL is the collapsed crypt...

If you want to beat the worm, look up something like "600 hit combo ninja gaiden" on youtube. There's a real cheap easy way to kill the worm with the flails.

Well, the scarabs are just an indication of how -worthy you are. More so for bragging rights.

But, his gifts do help IMO...

Well, to be honest, most of the scarabs are easy to find...this game isn't that hard exploring-wise. Heck, I don't really remember my first go-round much and have found most things (I think) so far...

New annoyance of the day with this game: the sentry copters that shoot missles at you while you're in the water.

Doesn't help that you're busy trying to avoid the giant fish monsters.

Yup...the spear gun is now in my possession...

But, I'm going back to the save of the start of the stage again. I ate up 1 too many potions getting shot to near-death by those stupid sentries while swimming. I'll take them out first by running on water and then taking on the sharks.

The giant FF7-type sword...? I use it sometimes just to vary it up a bit. But, admittedly, it is not the weapon I'm good with. My weapons of choice still are and will be the Lunar and the Flails.

Speed always FTW.

yeah, speed is my choice too. the dabilahro is way too slow...I end up getting my ass kicked because I am trying to execute a damn combo...lol...the flails I was not so keen on until I saw that 999 combo shit!!! holy crap!!! Now I am puttin them to good use!

I ended up using too many elixirs too with the two worms (and even a talisman of rebirth..*sobsob*) so I have to start again too...

Nope. Still haven't used one. I won't lie about needing potions every so often when I'm knee-deep against enemies or taking on a tough boss (i.e. two worms, tanks)...

I think the hardest baddies I've had to put up with so far in order are: Dual electro-worms, tanks, Alma, and Murai.

electro worms and alma, yes, tanks, no...helicopter hell yes....do you fight murai a second time? I haven't gotten that far to find out...yuo fight him more than just @ the beginning? But yeah about potions...every so often...i've been getting mroe great ones since the little ones don't fill up as much anymore. i get like ten of them, but I have to use like 3 or 4 to get my health back CLOSE to full...sucks that 10 of small elixirs=1 mega elixir, and small ones fill you up more per dollar...or rather...per essence..

You used up ALL of that for the bugs...? Ow. Um...g'luck with onwards. But, you have a giant hallway full of Fiends (the ninja types) to take care of and then a boss fight with an ugly who's...pretty big. You can beat the boss without any health potions actually...but, you can also get your @$$ whupped big-time if you don't know how to approach him.

G'luck!

You should have 35 scarabs by the end of the sewer stage.

The boss...? Remember to beat his @$$...literally.
