Dark Cloud 2 Hints V (PS2)

Dark Cloud 2 is a video game developed by Level 5 Inc. and published by Sony Computer Entertainment Incorporated. Created exclusively for the PlayStation 2 gaming console from Sony, it was released in December 2002. The title is classed as an action and role playing game, played from a third person perspective.

While Dark Cloud 2 is set in the same universe as the previous game in the series, it has another premise and features totally new characters. The main element in the story is Max, who is a young inventor from Palm Brinks. He is thrown in the middle of a plot which involves a power hungry Emperor who wants to destroy the past so that he can control the future, a Sun Stone which has immense magical force, a bunch of killing clowns, a giant robot called Halloween and, last but not least, a princess who arrives from the future. At certain key points in the game, the player can take control of Monica to solve situations which are too difficult for Max. The switches between characters provide variations which enhance the experience of the game.

One of the most interesting elements is that characters themselves do not level up. The weapons that they wield are the ones getting experience from kills and gaining new abilities. Because of this mechanism, the game makes players more interested in the weapons they are using and forces them to pay attention to the durability of the weapon.

GAMEPLAY HINTS

Easy gold

In Chapter 2, when you get the fishing rod from Norm, discard the Mimi Bait that he gives you. Then, talk to him again. He will give you five Mimis every time you run out. Take and sell them to the man that makes Improved Bombs for you. You will make 200 Gilda each time. Every ten minutes, you can have him make six Improved Bombs, making an additional 900 Gilda. It is possible to make about 5,000 Gilda in ten minutes. You can do this until you complete the Great Fish mission.

In Chapter 2, when you get the fishing rod from Norm, discard the Mimi Bait that he gives you. Then, talk to him again. He will give you five Mimis every time you run out. Use the bait in the swamp next to him. Catch fish until you run out of room in your item menu. Go to Erik and sell all the fish for about 3,500 Gilda. With about every 20 fish you catch, Erik's ability to make Improved Bombs fully restores. If you go to him three times and fill up your item menu with fish, you can get 6,000 Gilda as well as about 4,000 FP. If you do this for about six and a half hours, you will have maximized your fishing levels, and have about 78,000 Gilda.

Create or find any weak weapon and get enough ABS to level it up by one. Then, unequip it and take it to the store to sell. It will sell for close to 5,000 Gilda.

In the Rainbow Butterfly Forest, go to the monster fish swamp (the one that asked for the grape juice that is sitting on the log). Get fish bait and fish. Do not get the fish that needs a Poison Apple. Catch a lot of fish. Go to a store and sell them for 50 Gilda each.

Keep lots of the Ability Spheres that you collect. These can be sold for 75 Gilda each. Sell them in groups to get a lot of easy money.

In Zelmite Mines, on the floor Hell's Turning Point, every box except the map and crystal will be a coin.
