I'm so bad at getting A rank on anything that requires me to avoid damage. Either that or I get hosed by something stupid - how do I know how many enemies I need to kill in a stage to get A rank? Some it's 1000, others it's some arbitrary number above that. It's so annoying to spend 10 minutes on a stage and then get a B because I didn't kill enough enemies, ESPECIALLY when the stages time you. I just don't think I'll ever unlock some stuff. Also do the NPC characters mirror yours? Sheik is the character I play the most and she's level 50 whereas everyone else is in the mid 30s and if I encounter Sheik in a level she's killing some characters in just a few hits.

Vanrushal posted:So for shits and giggles I played a level 99 Network Link with L52 Ganondorf. Beat it in one go, gained 2 levels, and probably spent upward of half an hour beating it. I wouldn't recommend playing that far out of your league, but it is doable if you're so inclined. Sheik was the commander and ended up being way easier than the generals somehow; they were tanks and took forever to die whereas Sheik went down almost immediately. Are you sure that the level of the network link actually makes a difference? When I first started adventure mode (I was maybe level 20) I did a network link level for one that was level 99 and did absolutely fine.

Bruceski posted:It took me something like 15 attempts and I gained 20 levels (each time the issue was damage, not KOs or time, except one time I got KOs and damage but cleared it in 15:02) I'm on that one now but the gauntlet is so ridiculously slow that I can't really avoid being hit! Does anyone know which map square is Sheik's level 3 harp? I know you can go over them and see who it is, but when it's darkened out it's really hard to tell which one is Sheik. Plus what is it that the goddess harp does to butterflies? So you get a stone - what does that do? I'm sure the manual says it somewhere but I really cannot find it!

I'm baffled by people loving Ganon - his special attacks are too slow and you can get hit during them which means I'm never going to get an "A" on a stage where I can only play as him.

I find it so hard getting an A rank on any of the larger maps. There's just too much stuff to focus on at once - not being damaged, doing it quickly, killing enough enemies, defending the base. I don't know WHAT I can do with the Ganon levels at the top right of the adventure map, it's so extremely hard.

Viridiant posted:Do you get penalized for killing too many enemies, or do you have different KO requirements for different weapons? On one map I got an A for killing over 500 enemies with Impa using the Giant Sword, then on the same map using Impa again with a Naginata I got a B for killing over 600. This is what confuses me, I think there might be some sort of formula based on how long you've taken and how many enemies you've killed?

Yuki Akuma posted:Killing about 1,200 enemies will get you an A rank on most adventure maps. Challenge maps have different requirements. Your rank always increases the more enemies you kill - you won't be punished for killing too many, unless of course that causes you to go over fifteen minutes (which is the cut off point for A ranking on time). I've definitely had a B for 12 minutes.

Yuki Akuma posted:In an adventure map? I'm fairly sure every adventure map has the exact same requirements for an A. There's only one challenge map isn't there? I only have one anyway. Yea it's the adventure maps. It's one of those situations for me now where all I have is places that need As but either I take too long, I kill too few enemies or even take a little too much damage and end up just wasting 10 minutes. I'd gladly throw these places onto easy if that was an option.

Tengames posted:its worse with the "all attacks are devistating!" ones. A mook bumped into you? 9999 damage, C rank. Those are fine because it's not too difficult to avoid being hit when all the enemies die in a single blow. There's a few that are a bit harder - the Fiery Aelfos one comes to mind because they swoop at you and can hit you without you noticing. Still at least when you play them if you do die you've wasted at most 2 or 3 minutes. Not 10. Seriously sometimes it's just impossible to avoid damage and it makes collecting heart containers utterly pointless. Why do I care if I have 10 hearts or 300 if I lose the game when I take 3 hearts of damage regardless?

Has anyone conclusively proved that the level of the network link makes a difference? The network link levels are harder than normal levels (it tells you so) but like I said up thread I've done some level 99 ones at level 20 and it was harder than a normal level but not level 99 hard.

MarquiseMindfang posted:The trick with the Imprisoned if you have bad ranged game like Fi is to bait the lightning attack by staying far away, then run under him and use YYYYYX. The lightning can never hit you if you're right under him. ou never get stomped because you're too far and you never get lightning'd because you're under him when it goes off. Only things that can hurt you are him falling over and him belly sliding. I don't really play like that, it's too hard for me to plan combos in that sort of way. I did do the level, just not with an A. And realistically for most levels if you haven't done it with an A you might as well not have done it at all. When I do use them I find that I'm getting hit during them too. Like I mentioned before it's especially bad with Ganon, all of his combos are crazily slow and you're ALWAYS getting hit by it.

mabels big day posted:What's your least favorite enemy captain to fight? Mines Dinolfos The giant monster that shoots the eye beam. gently caress that thing. It's really fast - so you can't ignore it entirely in the kill x monsters levels - and sometimes it'll go for AGES without doing the beam so you're just running around waiting and waiting to do it any damage. Also if you're using any character other than Sheik you're doing it wrong.

deepshock posted:In my experience, Manhandla is also the most capable giant boss when it comes to stalking players over the length and width of the map and being unignorable. Its sheer girth also makes it hard to run past it in cases where you can't run away from it. There have been a lot of times when I ran away from it, dealt with a cluster of mooks, and had that thing right in my face 30 seconds later. Weirdly it's the exact opposite for me, I'm alwayas so glad when it's a Manhandla because it's so easy to ignore. The beam eye thing is the most annoying because it's so loving fast.

I wish the adventure map had difficulty settings. There's so many maps (especially on the master quest) that I just can't do because I'm so useless with that paticular character and it's really frustrating having to wait until I have someone around who wants to play it with me so I can actually do stuff. I've tried Volga's level 3 weapon around 4 times now and each time I lose my base when the dragon turns up. And the amount of squares on the master quest that are some arbitrary thing to unlock them (tree/flute I'm looking at you) or have hidden monsters is really annoying! I know the tree/flute thing is from one of the games but still, it's a pain.

The traitor ones are the ones I feel you need a second player in. There's just not enough time for you to both fight the enemies AND constantly backtrack because someone weak is getting beaten up by your own troops.

chumbler posted:Yeah the imprisoned just flat out sucks. It's not that he's hard. Far from it, he's probably the easiest giant boss unless you're fighting three simultaneously. His mini versions are more difficult than he is. He just takes. So. Long. To fight and doing so isn't remotely fun. All the giant bosses are irritating though, one of the worst parts of the game is just running around waiting for King Dodongo to inhale or whatever the hell.

Wildtortilla posted:Question: Is there a point in buying the DLC before I finish the vanilla game? It's going to take me a ton of time to play through the vanilla content, but if the DLC will open up new weapons for me to play with in it, I'll pay whatever Nintendo is asking. There's some 8 bit weapons for characters. Those 8 bit weapons have the same stats as the level 3 weapon so if you cannot reach them in the vanilla content then your prayers are answered in the master quest. For example I can't get to Sheiks because I can't A-rank the Ganon level I have to play to reach it but doing it on the master quest was quite easy! Incidentally giving Sheik a damage shield and nobody else in a game like this is so utterly crazy. I never play as any other character unless I'm forced to, she's just too good.

I've been trying a few level 2 weapon levels for people I don't use very much and I really can't do some, like Ghairim (I can't even spell his name) because there just aren't enough enemies to get to 1200 kills in 15 minutes. I'm not even sure what to do about this other than maybe pad out fighting in keeps but there's not even very many enemies in those either!

Regy Rusty posted:Attack the Cucco. I did, I was at about 1070 by the end. I tried to pad it out but I ended up killing the end boss just before I could kill enough enemies. The most frustrating thing about the entire game is it feels like such a titanic waste of your time if you don't get an A, especially if it was a hard fought level. Seventeen minutes wasted doing the Ganon level 3 weapon just to fail because I took seventeen minutes instead of fifteen, hurrah. Or even when it's 15 minutes and X seconds, that's probably the worst.

I guess it's starting to feel like for me the stuff I have got left I really need a second person present who isn't going to take a lot of damage. If only there was a cheat that let you play whoever you want on every level, I'd snap that up in a heartbeat.

It's absolutely bullshit that the Wii U doesn't get the adventure packs but can buy the characters. I feel sort of ripped off that I've got Linkle and such but getting their weapons is extra super random. I think they did reduce the requirements for a few levels though. Either that or being away from the game for a year has suddenly made me really good. I've done about six levels and got weapons in them that I couldn't even complete before, let alone get A ranks. It'd be nice if there was some sort of cheat to blast few levels that are blocking you though. There's nothing worse than spending 15 minutes on a level and losing at the last second because the allied base fell or getting a B because you took 15 seconds too long or etc etc. Like I'm basically locked out of the very top left of the Adventure Quest map because there's no way I can do Lana's summoning gate level on my own and my girlfriend isn't good enough at the game to avoid taking damage unfortunately. I just want to see some other stuff! There's a link level that ends with fighting gigantic Ganon as well which I can't do and since each time it takes about 15/20 minutes by the end of it I get killed because I totally forget what to use and when on Ganon. Then I have to do it all again, so I just quit.
