Dark Cloud 2 Hints VIII (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 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 their durability.

GAMEPLAY HINTS

Knight Boots

The best invention is Belt, Shield, and Moon. This is the Knight Boots. They are already equipped to Monica, but they can spectrumize into two attack points for weapons. You can get it at the start of the game. Sell the Attack Spheres for money. You already have the Belt. The Moon is in the sky, at night. The Shield is in the weapon shop.

Laser Arm Four for Ridepod

To make the Laser Arm Four for the Ridepod, you need the Legend Of The Moon, Blue Lantern, and Energy Pipe.

Lure Rod

To make a Lure Rod, all the photos you need are Fish, River, and the Lafrescia Stem.

Power-up Powder

Sun Chair, Sun Table, and The Sun will create Power-Up Powder for weapons.

Serpent Sword

In Chapter 4, The Great Sage, when you defeat the Boss, Gaspard, at the last level, an intermission sequence will start. When this is done, you will go to Chapter 5, Good'bye Shingala. When this is done, go back to Starlight Canyon. At the bottom, the message "There has been a change in the future, maybe something will happen" will appear. After that, go to the portal. When there, yet another intermission sequence will start with Maximillion, Monica, and Lin, well, "Crest,". She thanks you and will give you the Serpent Sword. It is crimson red but its attack is not very high.
