Popular Post Elegy Posted January 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 6, 2023 (edited) Hello, I got this game in the most recent sale and thought it was a surprisingly polished and well made metroidvania title. Definitely deserves more attention than it has received so far as I didn't have any glitches and its based more around exploration than combat. Anyway, this platinum is not very difficult as the only challenging part is beating the game within 3 hours for the Time Attack Gold trophy. The description of this is a bit misleading, but there is no "time attack mode".. it is literally just the main campaign that you have to beat within 3, 5 and 8 hours from gold to bronze respectively. These stack though and pausing the game pauses the timer. This game has a very large amount of things you have to collect to advance the game forward so a proper route is super important. I had to look at a speedrun video to get through the last area quicker than I was on pace for. This game requires a minimum of 2 playthroughs to platinum. The reason being is that there are two trophies for endings.. a default and alternate ending. The alternate ending only pops up when you start the game on a new file after having beaten it once already. Then you need to pickup the maid costume in the prologue area and carry that to the end of the game to see it. The no death trophy can be cheesed by just quitting to main menu every time you die and just loading your latest save. I tested this on my first run so this trophy is very trivial to achieve. The combat is super simple and there isn't much of a chance to die to anything except bosses or environmental hazards. Some environmental hazards are instant death like being squished by elevators/moving platforms, getting hit by fireballs/lava, running into laser beams or drowning. The game has save stations and also autosaves every time you pickup key items/collectibles. There is a map on steam that shows the locations of all the dark quartz, mega tranchips and secret items. The 4 secret items are scattered in each of the 4 worlds, one each. The in game map will show you where to look for the wandering Dramos after you speak to the Dramos mother, but you have to bring up the map and move the marker down to that category to see them. It defaults to the tranchips markers. It also has one for showing where key items and chests are. The 3 sightings of the black cyborg are not marked on any map in game and I couldn't find any resource online for the locations, but I did manage to find all 3 myself. There is 1 sighting in each of the first 3 worlds. The first sighting is in world 1 to the right of the teleporter to world 2. You have to backtrack to this location to get some tranchips so this is unmissable. The second sighting is in world 2 when you go up to the top of the map on an elevator after placing the wind cog. If you go left and drop down to some statue hand looking thing, you can then jump off to the left where there is a ledge that you can land on and just below it is a dark quartz you need for 100%. The black cyborg sighting happens just above that dark quartz on the ledge you land on there. The final sighting is the easiest to miss. It occurs in area 3 and is just above the frozen lake where you have to downward stab through the ice to get one of those panels to place to open up access to the 4th area, but instead of doing that if you look up there is a ladder you can climb to a ledge where the final cyborg is. For 1000 blocks destroyed, you can farm the ice blocks in world 3 as they respawn. This won't come naturally otherwise. For all gallery pictures.. these unlock after you beat the game once and you can just scroll through them from the main menu. The game manual trophy pops from reading the manual on the main menu as well. For a 99 combo you'll need to use the bike and just drive back and forth killing unarmored enemies and respawning them by moving the screen away. There are a few good spots for this. The area right outside the lvl 1 door lock robot is good.. or the subway metro area in world 2 underneath the bike elevator to get back to the top is good. There is also a good spot at the top of the map in world 2 just to the left of the Mother Dramos. That is all the information I can think of to share right now to make this game's platinum more accessible since it has very little information and its actually a pretty great game. I would recommend giving it a try if you like metroidvania games or just want a relaxing 2D action/exploration game to play.
