Dark Cloud is a videogame 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 2000. The title is classed as an action and role playing game, played from a third person perspective.

Over 400 years ago, as a war between the Eastern Continent and the Western Wizard Army raged on, the world was destroyed because a great evil power was unleashed. Now, the power-hungry and fiendish General Flag is getting ready to launch a ritual, with the purpose of awakening this evil once more, under the guise of the Dark Genie.

The peaceful village of Norune is the first victim of the embodiment of this evil. Toan, the son of the great hero Ada, is the only one to survive the attack, and the Spirit King tells him that Atla spheres hold all his loved ones. In order to set them free, the boy must learn to wield a glove, called the Atlamillia, and defeat the dark powers.

Toan will fight his way through randomly-generated dungeons, and will have to battle against monsters, while trying to get his hands on the Atla spheres. As the game progresses, other characters will offer their help to Toan, and will join his party. All of them can equip items, and they will also get various objects and power-ups that can enhance their fighting abilities. The final aim of the game is to recover all the Atla spheres in order to rebuild the village of Norune.

GLITCHES

Disappearing chest

When you open a big chest with your sword and get it again, it will not be there.

Vanishing Fairy Ring

After you get Goro, but before Ruby, you can see her Fairy Ring in the Fishing Points exchange screen. Go to any pond sign, and select "Exchange FP." Use R1 or R2 to scroll down, and the Fairy Ring is there, in front of your face. Note: You cannot select or buy the ring, as you cannot move down to it. Pressing Left or Right makes the ring vanish.

Stuck fishing pole

Begin fishing in any pond. When you reel your line in, stand in front of the fishing sign. Once Toan reels the line in, the bobber will get stuck to the sign.
