CJ_Mystery Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Pour your guts out over how disgusting and stupid the Spheda mini-golf challenges are. For me, the worst place to Spheda is Ocean's Roar Cave. The floor has zero traction so you cannot bump on it and somehow the air in the caves slows your shot speed way down. I mean, I just had one shot in Wandering Zappy where the distortion was an easy shot... and the fragment refused to fly into it! It was like I putted instead of drove the damn thing! ARGH!

FarfetchDoomer Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 What I also hate is the fact that if you fail you have to do the dungeon floor ALL OVER AGAIN in order to have another try...just trying to just get 10 games done to recruit Mena then am not touching Spheda anymore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I do agree that it gets really annoying having to kill super-weak enemies again in the Rainbow Butterfly Wood just because you failed at Spheda. On the plus side, when you do it in Zelmite Mines, you at least get ABS for your weapons and gold and items. Still, it's rather annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyDavidson Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 What, what, what? Spheda is literally my second favorite "mini-game" of all time (right behind Blitzball). I mean I haven't played DC2 since my PS2 days and yeah some was frustrating to get especially if you had to repeat it but it was still a lot of fun. I actually became pretty good at it back then (also played a lot of Hotshots Golf at the time). Now I want to play DC2, good thing I bought it again on PS4. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my most favorite mini-game too and that's since PS2 days ? You're unbelievable guys .. just use Ridepod motorcycle with Samurai Arms, lock onto enemies and defeat them all in 2 minutes. Zelmite Mines is the second easiest area for Spheda so you won't have too much trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh god yes. Having that problem right now with these maps. It's... not designed well this golfing game. Wish there was an option to you know, try it again if you fail instead of having to do the same floor all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rohsiph Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I ended up clearing all medals in Moon Flower Palace thinking I probably wouldn't get the Medal Master trophy for the platinum just yet, but might want to come back to it someday without having to play from the beginning. Spheda there was ok. I actually started thinking -maybe- I'll push through for the platinum. Spheda in Zelmite Mine totally sunk my enjoyment. I'm done for now, maybe forever. Getting the monster evolution trophy last night, I had numerous levels with a 'par 3' around more than 3 corners. I don't think I ever managed to hit a ball that bounced the right way more than once. Usually, if I had to bounce a ball twice it'd end up a few meters further away from where I started. I love the idea. I want to love every part of the game. But Spheda just wasn't well-executed. Some day, I hope Level 5 will make a Dark Cloud 3 or reboot the series. I'm confident they could make a really nice Spheda 2.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segimon Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Forget the Spheda. The whole entire game is frustrating. I’m too bored and stuck to make progress on anything after chapter one lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadly_Ha_Ha Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Spheda made this game outrageous. You'll always have people say "Oh I loved spheda, it was so fun and challenging and a nice change of pace," but I think those people have a distortion-sized hole in their heads (kidding, mostly). Thank the lord this game is so good otherwise the trophy list wouldn't have been worth slamming my head into for three months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raidou Kuzunoha XIV Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I was planning on making this game my 200th milestone platinum. I'd never played it before, but knew I'd likely enjoy it given how much I enjoyed the first game, which I am, but... Yeah, the spheda shit is just super fucking frustrating. I'm still just on chapter 3, but have been attempting a few of those spheda challenges and have failed every single one, and having to redo the entire dungeon floor to try again is not fun. Not to mention it's luck of the draw if the procedural generation really screws you up with the placement to begin with. I'm already 25 hours into the game, been taking my time with doing the photos and already attempting a few medals. I feel like trying to do the 100+ spheda medals for the plat would make my total playtime exceed 200+ hours, with how shit I am at them, which I ain't gonna lie, is not looking very tempting. I knew the plat was gonna be a massive grind and not particularly "easy", but I didn't think it'd be so annoying. Still going to collect all the photos/ideas, inventions, characters, etc. as I'm genuinely having fun doing that, but I don't want something like the spheda bullshit tainting my enjoyment and memories of this game, feel like I've already done enough of that with other games throughout my achievement/trophy hunting career. So... I'm probably going to give up attempting the plat for this, rather do it this early on then later on when I've gotten most of the trophies and I feel like I have to just because I've already gotten so far. It's a great game otherwise, grindy as shit, but the kind of grind I actually immensely enjoy for some inexplicable reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not every dungeon floor will have a spheda challenge though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
