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
Easy scoops
Mount Gundor: Fire Squall Time of scoop: Disabling the Fire Squall This is easy. Just get to the Fire Squall and before it burns, take a picture of it.
Mount Gundor: Flying Battleship Time of scoop: Fighting mini-Boss, flying battleship Death Ark. If you did not get the scoop in Starlight Canyon, this is your last chance. Go behind a rock, and when it is not attacking, go out and get a new scoop.
Mount Gundor: The Ultimate Gaspard Time of scoop: Fighting Boss, flame demon Ultimate Gaspard. This one is difficult, due to it being airborne and shooting fireballs. It cannot shoot fireballs while it is on the ground. Attack with your Ridepod's Nova Cannon and it will go to the ground. From a good distance, take a picture of the idling beast.
Moonflower Palace: Griffon's Real Face Time of scoop: Fighting Boss, Emperor Griffon (first time). This one can be easy. As soon as the battle starts, equip the camera and take a picture of Emperor Griffon's more fuzzy side. He should attack until about three seconds into the battle.
Dream Spiral: Legend Of The Moon Time of scoop: Fighting the final Boss, Dark Element. This is a floating robe with a jellybean head that sounds like a georama piece. Although you will want to smash his "jellybean", you need to get the most important scoop in the game first, The Legend Of The Moon. Equip an Anti Petrify and Anti Stop Amulet as your second and third spaces, and your camera as the first. As soon as the battle begins, take a picture of the giant moon above you.
