Dark Cloud 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 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 as the Dark Genie.
The peaceful village of Norune is the first victim of the embodiment of 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 getting his hands on the Atla spheres. As the game progresses, other characters will offer their help to Toan, and will join his party. All characters 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 get back all the Atla spheres so that you are able to rebuild the village of Norune.
GAMEPLAY HINTS
Defeating Minotaur
Use either Toan or Osmond. As the Minotaur runs around the arena, barrels will start to fall. The Minotaur will pick up a barrel and start drinking. Run towards him and attack, then retreat. Repeat this process and avoid his charge attacks for an easy victory. Note: The barrels count as Stamina Drinks to the Minotaur, so do not let him finish drinking, or one attack will probably kill you.
Switch to Osmond and when the Minotaur picks up a wine barrel and drinks it, get close to him, switch to Toan, and attack. Keep doing this until he is dead.
As soon as the battle starts, switch to your strongest character. When the Minotaur begins to grab a barrel and drink, get as close as you can and attack. Only do this once or he will knock you back. Repeat this until he is dead.
Take out Ungaga and when the Minotaur chases you, lock on but back off. Lead him into a barrel, and before he finishes drinking it, attack him. Back off and lead him into another barrel. Repeat this tactic until he dies. Stock up on Repair Powders and swing away.
Use Goro for this when he has the Last Judgment hammer. Dodge the Minotaur until he goes to drink from one of the barrels. Then, smash his toes. He will stop drinking and that will do a lot of damage to him.
