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
Boss clues
When fighting a Boss, use Xiao with Steve. Steve will talk and give hints on how to defeat the Bosses.
Skipping duels
Before you enter the duel, change to any character except Toan. Note: You still will have to duel to advance in the game.
Easy money
You can sell fishing bait and useless items such as Bombs, Fire Gems, Ice Gems, etc. However, fishing bait sells for more money.
After completing the Sunken Ship and getting all City Pieces, go to the Fish Shop. Buy the Flapping Fish and an Ice Cube. Use the map and go to Sunken Ship level 1. Run around until you find the entrance to the back floors. Use the Flapping Fish when you find the entrance. A big fish will appear. Get in the fish -- press X when next to him, and choose the option to get in. Once you get to the back floors, all or almost all treasures will be gems. You can either use them for attachments or sell them. This can be repeated as many times as needed.
When you die in the dungeon without stand in powder, you have to pay half of your money. To prevent this, just use your money to buy gold bullion. They cost 1,000 and you can sell them for 1,000.
If you have over 10,000 in Gilda or bullion, step in a vortex and you will get "increased money". Your Gilda will increase by 10,000.
Go to the first floor of the Divine Beast Cave and kill some monsters. Use Xiao with her Bandit Slingshot. Sometimes, you will get a Crysknife, or a similar weapon. Get money by killing monsters and selling fishing bait and weapons.
