Oh man that's pretty smart. I'm used to doing Space (back) dodge on the PC ver so I never think of using the forward dodge. Besides, PSG 2stronk.

I'll be honest, I didn't even notice the opening and closing heart as a weak point till your vids. I judged which one was real based on the purple smoke I think. And now I kinda want to grab the portable version for myself to play on the go again. I'm broke too :smith::hf::smith:.

how do I lurked moar.
Having recently completed this game, while watching to see how the LP managed things, I feel like I should point out something, even if it is for the most part done.

When using the scanner, there is at times a pulsating yellow signal thing in the bottom right. This tells you when there is an item in scanning range. (but not a handprint)

I was actually kind of surprised that the giant final boss wasn't the giant final boss.

So perhaps good job there, game?

The "last level" of raid mode, where you cover the entire ship. All of it. Level scaling is insane as well, I grabbed a max-level save just to see if I can muscle it and I realized that this level is balanced for two max-level characters.

That's ridiculous. You basically play through the whole game again, only if you die that's it start over?

You've got it. There's over 300 enemies and it takes like an hour to get through in my experience. At the end you face a boss gauntlet as well.

Yep.

Its pretty much a challenge mission, akin to say Bloody Arena in DMC4 or Kick-Me-Sign runs in God Hand

That honestly just sounds like a terrible slog. Is there any reward for getting through it, or is it just there to mess with compulsive types?

There's actual rewards, such as guns and extra money, but these weapons are akin to JRPG ultimate weapons where you have to beat the hardest boss to get it and you have nothing to test it on.

People just do this to prove they're a badass.

Do you start Abyss with that giant pile of bullets and grenades, or could you conceivably have to dodge around those two while you scavenged stuff?

If you roll NG+, your gear rolls over from the moment you beat Ultimate Abyss. Hence why I started off with an arsenal of gently caress.

Humorously enough, Ragny proved me wrong in that Abyss Infernal mode is available at the start of the game for free. He also proved that Infernal is balanced for NG+ since he apparently got stonewalled really early in the game. I'm genuinely curious though if you can roll pure NG Abyss since there are very few necessary kills at the beginning and once you get the ball rolling the game gives you a lot more ammo and gear.

Looking around online, it seems that the key to Ghost Ship is the weapon parts obtained by getting a trinity bonus on the Abyss maps. They do things like skip reloading, multiply damage by 2.5, and, crucially, the gluttony ones let you pull ammo from one gun into another at a 1 to 1 ratio- so you can treat your smg ammo pool as an ammo pool for your shotgun or tricked out pistol.

Also, watching that video will make you wonder what you(or its creator) have been doing with your(their) life.

Not bad, using the smg ammo to fuel a ... triple-shooting magnum?

According to the video's comments, the equipment is:

Thunder Raptor 48lvl: Giant Rabbit Foot 3, Auto-reload, Gluttony V, Full Burst
Windham Stady Hand 48lvl: Bottomless Pouch 6, Burst 3, Auto Reload, Giant Rabbit Foot 3, Narrow 2
MP5 50lvl: Light Weight, Granade Launcher, Long Magazine 10, Cornocupia 3, Bottomless Pouch 6, Ammo Magnet 7, Piercing 2

Lotsa pro tactics in there- using shock grenades to take out fish from a distance, the launcher on the MP5 to get faster explosions, camping the bridge on the promenade deck, etc. It's clear that the videographer views the wolves as the biggest hazard to a trinity clear.

So, perhaps unsurprisingly, the reward for a trinity bonus on Ghost Ship is the thing that makes getting a trinity bonus on ghost ship particularly viable. I guess a similar run with a lower gluttony using shotgun or rifle is the next best bet.

There was a specific prize fish near the end, every run out of 30 runs it would always hit us. That loving fish has a huge power level.

For the most part use need a tank to do everything. also there are parts you can use to resupply pulse grenades, and that helps a lot.

Wow, the ending to the Ghost Ship is kind of fitting. Feels a bit like the ending of Halo: Reach.
