Dark Cloud 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 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.
GAMEPLAY HINTS
Mardan Garayan sword
Catching Mardan Garayan for the first time will unlock a new sword, Mardan Eins, in the "Exchange FP" section of the fishing menu. To get it, you must have 2500 FP. However, building it up is completely different. You must catch enough Mardans for each build up. The final Mardan sword can be maximized to be a bit stronger than the 7th Heaven.
Catch one Marden Garayan fish at Muska Laska at dusk or at Mataki Village waterfall at night. Trade in your fish points for the sword "Marden Eins". Catch five more Marden Garayan fish to build up to "Marden Twei", then catch fifteen more Marden Garayan fish to build up to the final form "Arise Marden". Note: Use Poisonous apples for bait.
Attachment gems
To get a few rubies, diamonds, opals, and other gems, go to the Sun And Moon Temple. Get a secret path key and go to the back area on level 16. You should get at least one gem attachment, and the monsters are always Mimics.
When you enter Dark Heaven Castle, the first time you enter Gallery Of Time, you can buy gems from the Fairy King for 3000 Gilda each.
Catch the Marayan Garayan and exchange the points for a gem instead of paying the Fairy King.
If you get a "Perfect" in any duel, you will be awarded a gem attachment from the Terra Fairies. To get free gems, before you do any duel, save the game. As you duel, try to push the button when the symbol is on the thinner white bar. It will flash "Cool". If you get all "Cools", a message will appear stating that the Fairies of Terra rewarded you. The following are some of the gems that can be obtained.
