I need that last soul as well.

I still need that one as well, Prince! The fact that it's like three millimeters from the end of the stage makes it more annoying for me, since if you miss, you can't backtrack for a second try. I waited for the Hydra, hoping it would take out the candle for me, but one of its heads hit me right as the candle came on-screen, launching me to clearing the stage. I'm having trouble getting the timing down jump-slashing too - it's almost like you have to hit it perfectly, which I'm having trouble with since you can't really see when it's coming and one tiny overshoot and bam - the stage ends.

I know it'll be worth the effort once I finally get the Moonlight, but damn, it's frustrating. I'm gonna try again tonight too.

I spent the last 3+ hours doing nothing but collecting souls in previous levels and earlier today spent a couple hours building up cash in P.N.03, and in neither did I touch a new level. Once I'm done with these I'm not messing with a game that needs me to play a level over and over to build up anything for quite a while. The only level left is that damn boat level, because I really don't want to fly around bashing random masts while trying to protect the ship. Bah.

I have a feeling this protect the spirit level will tick me off, as I've grown fond of the Golden Dragon and Needle of Fury (and am currently level 22). Being powerful isn't good when you need to be next to something to protect it and you can hurt it.

Ah, but it's so nice being able to rip through enemies like they aren't there. Sweet, beautious strength.

Search this thread if you're having probs. I covered both earlier and they're a lot easier than you think.

Yeah, I actually just did both no problem.

As for the Wind Slashers, fear my 35 second button mashing technique!

Nope, you just need to get it before the final cut-scene. I did it first try so it can't be too hard.

You will fear my butterflies... of DEATH.

Man, Eternal Night level is bugging me. I think I explored most of it, but I still cant find that damn Soul Chord. At the end I either die from magic/life running out, or Skeleton Mages get me, with their Life Steal curse shots, which are friggin annoying as hell. Its a cool level, but I just cant get out from there

Its just thats its too damn dark and very easy to get lost in the darkness.

Man, I've been complaining about couple of levels in Otogi. I love the game, but few levels can be extremely frustraiting.

**BioMechanic** · 19 Sep 2003, 01:01 PM

Despair, just ignore those Mages and dash to the end of the stage (it's stage 4 in reverse - remember the one with the "No One Shall Pass" statue?). There you'll fight one of those Raven King enemies, and he gives up the Cord once you ace him. You can always come back and trash the level later when you've levelled up.

FINALLY! Moonlight! And the stupid thing is, I have no idea how it happened. I made it to the end of the stage, and stood right underneath the candle, jumped straight up to try and slash it, then the Hydra fell on me. I was losing health right and left, could barely see what was happening on-screen, then suddenly the stage ended.....and somehow the final soul got released! yaaaaaay

Actually I think the Hydra got the candle for me, but whatever. I savored killing that damn thing for the super-cool Orchid Malevolence.

I ended up clearing the Hydra level 17 times.....and that's not counting the times I died. Getting this final soul is about the only black mark I can give this game - it was simply too frustrating for me - but it was worth the trouble.

**Despair** · 19 Sep 2003, 06:57 PM

Ok, I will try finding the end of the level. But I constantly getting lost, because its just too damn dark. But I should get through it eventually.

Got it. With about the same methodology and level of aggravation as Bio.

Any bonus for getting As for destruction on all levels?

Edit: Ever get the training sword, Mr. 1st-Try?

If so, nice work. If not, I don't know how you can let that last little item go. It drives me crazy when I leave some small piece of unfinished business, especially in a game like this. Hence, my frustration with that fucking candle.

Edit 2: Beat it, Moonlight Sword and all. Cool ending. On to 2nd Play.
