Cave Story ~ Doukutsu Monogatari

[Starrodkirby86]

Nah, it's not hard at all, I just made it sound more complicated than usual. That's not even including the ways to get the best stuff...

In simple paraphrased dumbed-down words:

Hard Route: ShowHide

Skip Booster, get the Tow Rope, save Curly, get the Ma Pignon, done.

[winkio]

@NAMKCOR: i initially had trouble with it too, but lvl 2 blade is awesome for it.

[tSwitch]

yeah well, I'm not going to get the great ending since I destroyed the core and left behind Curly (seriously, they need to put little sparkles or something so you know where to find all this hidden crap)

so it's too late anyway.

debating whether to start over or not, we'll see.

In the room where Booster falls there's a red dot. That dot is the jumping point where you can get to the Boulder Room without the Booster 0.8 .

If you did this right, over in the Core Room there should be a sparkle down at the right. It just only appears when Hard Route is activated.

i didnt like it.

[Starrodkirby86]

i didnt like it.

So did Legacyblade, but you guys are in a minority group.

If you didn't like it, perhaps you can tell us why, so then we can go nitpick on that? I mean, if the only thing you did was check the First Cave and quit around the Graveyard searching for a freakin' key, then I can see why you didn't like it. By the end it gets really awesome, since it's some mighty good platforming and shooting.

Seconded. It's one of the best games I've played.

  Okay, I'm stuck.  Again. :x
  I get the mushroom badge from Ma Pignon the mushroom, but instead of getting into battle when I talk to her again, she just says "Bzzzzzt".  What do I do?

I'm sure Ma Pignon is supposed to say something like, "What? You don't want the Mushroom Badge? You want me!? No!" or whatever.

Make sure you're doing this whole quest for Curly's sake. Also, make sure you haven't helped Momorin yet. Then it would be too late. -_-; At least, getting the Mimiga Mask on you, then it would be too late.

[KRoP]

  No, I haven't started helping Momorin.  I could try to talk to Curly and Cthulu again, but I've interacted with both of them already, and the mushroom wouldn't even give off the badge before I talked to Curly and Cthulu.  I'll try it anyway, though.
EDIT: I've figured it out.  I had to actually inspect the badge in the inventory before I could find him.  Thanks~

[Fantasist]

At least, getting the Mimiga Mask on you, then it would be too late.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think I've got the Ma Pignon with the Mimiga mask on (just for kicks of course, mimiga Quote looks cute).

Well, you probably might be able to do that. But triggering the whole quest should be done BEFORE you help Momorin, since you need to talk to Curly to find out she has amnesia (Talking to her with the Mask on would just make her say you look cute). I had to restart my game because I did this part wrong...

[Valcos]

i didnt like it.

Thats basically it. Just didnt, no real reason.

[KRoP]

  I managed to get to Sacred Ground and even to Ballos' second form, but the game stopped working on my laptop.  Whenever I open it it just shows a black screen and closes again.  I probably just Alt + Tabbed a bit too much.

:l

Also yes I have tried reinstalling the game multiple times.

[Starrodkirby86]

Ouch. Ouch.

Go to the Config and change it the screen resolution. Perhaps that may make a difference. If not, think of any changes you made to your computer, and try and revert back to that.

Replayed Cave Story, and I'm back on Sacred Grounds. Oh, everything's easy as usual, just that B2 and B3 turn out to be the real challenge now (Time-wise, going it slow is always simple).

[Landith]

I can't even get past the first level

Everytime I get to the door it always kills me

Do you have the Polar Star?

If you don't...exit, stage left. Steal the gun from the Hermit Gunsmith. Shoot that freakin' door.

Have fun. o_O;

[Landith]

Yeah I have the polar star, I didn't know I was suppose to shoot the door 
I always tried to get into the door when the eye wasn't showing lol

[KRoP]

  Figures.  Vista automatically set the comp back to 32 bit rate.  I turned it back to 16 and the game works again.

. . .

Ballos is hard.

[Starrodkirby86]

Ballos is hard.

You kidding?

Ballos is hard when you don't have a good strategy, got beaten up by the Heavy Press and before, or have insufficient weapons.

That's what I think at least. When I fought Ballos he was a walk in the park. The only hard part was trying to get a good time...
