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 that 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 that are too difficult for Max to handle. 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
Boss battle scoops Rainbow Butterfly Wood: King Mardan Time of scoop: Meeting the holy one, known as King Mardan. This is an easy one. When you fish him out of the swamps, as soon as he stops talking to you, snap. Rainbow Butterfly Wood: Rainbow Butterfly united Time of scoop: Fighting the boss, legendary creature Rainbow Butterfly. You will most likely take damage obtaining this scoop. Unless you do not have bread, do not worry about it. First, take the path you would normally use to defeat the butterfly by smashing the flower petals to make them separate. When there are seven butterflies in the arena, hit one with a wrench that is any color except for red. Suddenly, all the butterflies will attack you so fast that it is almost impossible to dodge or guard. They will all head back into the flower to reform the Rainbow Butterfly. Less than a second before the glint disappears, take a picture. Starlight Canyon: Phantom Memo-Eater Time of scoop: Fighting mini boss, devourer of memories Memo-Eater. This is fairly easy. As soon as the fight starts, the Memo-Eater will be directly in front of you. Take the picture. Starlight Canyon: Flying Battleship Time of scoop: Fighting boss, Dark Assassin Gaspard. This one is fairly easy to get. You will start out as Monica and cannot get the scoop immediately. If you have a powerful weapon like a Dusack or Choora, it is best to bring Gaspard down to a tiny, yet visible proportion of his health bar. Then, wait for you to go back to Max. If you do not, and defeat Gaspard before you change, you will have one more chance to get it later in the game (look below). When you are in control of Max, quickly locate the ship Monica is fighting on and snap the scoop. Ocean's Roar Cave: Puppet Shingala Time of scoop: Fighting mini-Boss, Dragon of the sea Shingala. This is an easy one. As soon as the battle starts, take out your camera. Snap whatever is in front of you.
