Cave Story OST - T19: Geothermal (The Core)

[@suprememingus6877]

+kylele23 there was a time I drowned mid-jump, just as Quote was about to breathe.

[@CrimeMinister1]

I always thought it was such BS the consequence for checking on Booster, I went down to check on Booster because I was like "oh no I care about the NPCs" yet that kills him and prevents you from saving the most important NPC in the game.

[@modocrisma2]

Okay but can someone please tell me how to get the Booster v0.8? Is this supposed _rope_ involved?

[@BigEvy]

When this song plays, you either feel like a hero with a heroine on your back, or the darkest and most depressing feeling watching your companion.... Drown with nothing you can do

[@Jakokokoroko]

+Ev an (0rangefever) I was so mad when I found out I could have actcually saved her if I hadn't accepted the damn jetpack and found this random towrope... Since I found out I replayed the WHOLE game at least 5 times. 1 time where I just saved her from drowning only to find out I also had to place her on the goddamn bed. The second time to drain her with the random note about draining robots and THEN LEAVING her in the bed, thinking it would be better not to force her to come with me... wrong choice again, god damn it. Then the last 3 runs where I managed to save her because I read about the Ma Pignon and everything because I was so done with not spiling myself. The only difference in the last 3 runs was that I once used the Spur, once the Snake and once without both. I could only beat Ballos with the good old Spur though...

[@TheCrazyGreenGamer]

+Ev an (0rangefever) That's just why this game is so good. That the music can envoke more than one feeling depending on the situation.

[@BigEvy]

TheCrazyGreenGamer it shows that music can really make the moment ...

[@BigEvy]

SmilePlease after I saw her on the other side of the blast door, I actually stopped playing given how sad I was , when I came back , again and again I would see her die , reload the game and try other things , talking to different people I even thought that not fighting Balrog at the beginning of the game had something to do with it , it wasn't until at friend told me that you could actually save her that I looked it up , I would have never found out how to myself. And boy was I glad to see the rest of the game , even though I had a really hard time with Hell . The one time I did it was with the spur .

[@IdleDeity]

You can actually save her, but it's EXTREMELY hard, it requieres to unlock de 3rd ending and that means having to start again to don't get certain items.

[@uncreativerandomness1239]

“Idiot, you gotta follow the 20 steps guide that explains that you have to let the old guy fall and die (but somehow revive), then pick the randomly placed rope and carry curly with it, and then jump into a random room later on and do 20 different weird things, then go to plantation and get a quest to kill a mushroom, then complete a questionary and fight a secret boss, and then give the dead corpse of said boss to curly to fully get her back!1 only true Cave Story by Doukutsu Monogatari fans would get it 😤😤”

[@alienspacebat5218]

That feel when you finally beat by far the hardest boss yet, Monster X, then fought your way down here and got the transmission from those robots and realized that Monster X had been -nothing- compared to what lay in the darkness of this chamber.

[@xtraminty5868]

This takes me back to the first time I played Cave Story. I just bought my first 3DS at the age of 13 for my birthday. I got CS and began plplaying. Then it came to this fight. I fought hard and was eventually successful. However I couldn't predict what came next. The flooding and the text box came up. I didn't know what happened to Curly. But I soon came to the realization. She died. I beat the game and went back through the harder difficulty and I saved her. I wasn't making the same mistake twice.

[@jackofallnades2908]

+Arios same here. I went all the way through last cave 3 times because of it. First normally, second to go back and get the iron bond and third because I forgot to save after getting the iron bond. (Went all the way back from the balcony.)

[@noelleo.9778]

Arios Oh thank goodness I’m not the only one. I’ve beet the game in Nintendo Switch, and decided to try the original on my computer. I was switching between English and Japanese for my entire play though (I can’t reed Japanese but I basically know what everyone is saying due to playing the game so much on the switch) and I just so happened to be playing in Japanese when I talked to Curly in the Plantation. I swear I talked to her once, but I don’t remember getting the iron bond at all. So maybe you have to talk to her twice. Idk all I know is that I got to the end and couldn’t open the door and checked my inventory.

A y por cierto creo que de no haber sido a los programas externos nunca hubiera conocido cave story, yo soy de Perú y viendo que no hay traducciones oficiales al español pues asumo que no se lanzó para casi toda latinoamerica y aun si se hubiera lanzado dudo que lo hubiera llegado a conocer por que en juegos de 3ds casi que solo se ven juegos de pokemon

Still can't believe you can rescue Curly but never forget she saves you either way every time

[@ArcienPlaysGames]

Cave Story is an all time great that has been with me for well over a decade. Finding out you could save Curly had me trying to do just that, and if I got it wrong, I would start over until I got it right. It took me 4 years, but I eventually saved her, beat Ballos and got the best ending. This game is a masterpiece, and very much so to this day.

I never thought you could save Curly originally playing the game. Then when I heard of a better ending I decided to take the time and actually save Curly. After doing so I continued through the game, seeming to follow the good ending route... I went in that one room full of speeding currents. It was pretty difficult but I managed to get to that area with the bed in it, left Curly there, and went back out to the currents while she was still out. I, uh...was kind of at a loss on where to go, and I'm pretty sure I accidentally left Curly for dead in a much worse way. No idea how to get on the good route AND stay on it. It's too damn hard for me.

[@cosmiccaracalla]

After putting Curly on the bed you need to check the computer and bookshelf to learn how to remove the water from Curly. She'll briefly wake up them fall asleep again. After this YOU MUST take her with you again. Leaving her in the house will softlock you out of seeing her again. Continue as normal until you beat the boss of the waterways, where Curly is separated you and you play as normal until you reach the plantation. There I'm the bottom right corner you'll find Curly who has amnesia. You must find the blue mushroom (you must have saved booster to get to the blue mushroom's area above the cemetery in mimiga village) and beat the battle there. Pick up the blue mushroom and give it to Curly and She'll have her memories back and give you a bracelet! Congrats you saved Curly! Hope this small guide helps and good luck!

[@Detective.Horonigai]

@@cosmiccaracalla | Thank you!! I ended up doing all of this and now the only obstacle in the game left for me is . . . My terrible fighting skills. I've never managed to beat the Normal route's final boss (which feels more like a final boss _rush)_ and the farthest i got was lasting three seconds with that Core thing, whatever it's called. So once i get back to playing Cave Story, I should look up a weapon and strategy guide for the final bosses. Hopes on me not having to go back through the Last Cave to change weapons :")

[@cosmiccaracalla]

@@Detective.Horonigai Good luck! I haven't played in a while but i believe the upgraded polar star (you need to not trade out your starter weapon then go to back to the gunsmith in the first cave to get it) and the nemesis are some of recommended weapons for the good ending.
