In Armored Armadillo's stage, right at the beginning, is a bat enemy from the classic series that has a very high chance to drop lives. You have to jump off the cart, or else you'll go too fast and pass it by. Then just kill it, walk to the left so that it respawns and repeat. I'm pretty sure the dog is weak to Chill Penguin's weapon, but it's been a while so I'm exactly sure. Even then it's a pretty easy fight, you shouldn't have too much trouble with it. Sigma's first form is weak to Spark Mandrill's weapon. You can easily trap him in a loop by wall-jumping and then jumping down and shooting him. His final form is weak to Armored Armadillo's weapon, the only place you can hit him is his head, so wait for his hand to go down and use it to get up there. If you die, then in the tunnel before the fight, you can easily replenish your resources by killing the small catterpilars. The fastest way to do it is using charged version of Armadillo's weapon. I hope this helps at least a little bit!

two more thing to Secret of Mana: 1. Boss Battle are difficult: Simply no. Level the Magic of your spell caster and every boss battle may become very ez, just use your magic for the most diffcult and annoying enemies so you got enough mana for the Bosses. 2. The Boy sucks: If you are underleveld, he does suck. If you level your weapons and magic against exp heavy enemies he is very helpful. His main purpsoe is to hit the normal enemies they got knockdown instead of stun. Most Enemis in knockdown can take weapon damage by your party memebers, while most "stunned" enemeies are immune to weapon damage, while stunned.
@Scott898784 жыл бұрын
The vast majority of the bosses are spell spam bosses and the main thing you gotta do is just have faerie walnut and later in the game, have luna's MP steal leveled a bit. Some boss types like the Mantis, the Plant, the Tiger, the Mech Rider, and the Robot, are meant to be fought with weapons, but boss types like the Gigas, the Hydra, the Bird, the Snake, the Minotaur, the Bat, the Dragons, the Slime, Dark Lich, etc. While things like the Wall Face are a mix with the eyes being melee targets but the forehead a spell target. You only need to level on the sprite: undine, gnome, slyphid, salamando, luna, and much later, shade for the mana fortress. The girl only really needs to level undine for the heals and lumina for the spells and undine will level naturally without any forced usage. Leveling up luna helps on the mana beast (energy boost) . Most of the buff and debuff spells like speed up, defender, the sabers, acid rain, fire bouquet, generally make too little of a difference to be useful (something they fixed on the sequel, Trials of Mana). Leveling Dryad probably makes the Mana Beast fight a bit quicker, and having a stronger revive is probably useful, but generally, Dryad is not that important overall. For weapons, I generally give each character 2 or 3 weapons. The sprite has a higher agility stat and lower strength stat, so is probably better using ranged mostly. I find that giving the boy the knuckle is pretty effective, since it hits a lot of targets very quickly and the lvl 1 and 2 charge ups are useful. I tend give the girl and the sprite the axe and whip (though who uses it varies), because in some dungeons, having quick access to those for obstacles is useful. Certain weapons like the sprite spear, give you ability to balloon and later there are knuckles who sleep enemies, so when you get to those, use them on the trash mobs.

Don't ask why but for some reason, I didn't figure it out until that point in the game. I'll have to dig into Super Ghouls and Ghosts again someday. I never did give that game enough of a chance.

Hey Drunk, if you don't mind I will leave tips for my favorite hard SNES game that people dismiss because of difficulty, Lion King! LION KING TIPS Tip 1: Cheat code) If you type b,a,r,r and y (BARRY) you open a cheat menu that allow you to pick your stage, and you can choose infinite continues or become imune to damage (but not both) Tip 2: Max health trick) In the first stage there is a life and a continue hidden to the right of the level, where you have to do a rolling move to squeeze through a narrow passage. There is also a red bug bellow a rock with a lizard and a blue bug above a tree, which increase you max health and roar power respectively. Here is the trick: Grab the bugs and the continue, then kill yourself over and over until you lose the continue. (It's really annoing on easy difficulty because you have 9 lives, but is fine on normal and hard). After that, you will keep your health and roar upgrade, and the bugs and continue will respawn! You can repeat it until you have over 10 points of health! (Compared to the initial 4). Tip 3: Jump and hit colision detection) One of the things that throw people off in this game is jumping on platforms that are just out of reach. Simba can grab leadges, but you have to aim his claws to the edge of the platform for that. If you try to land on the platform instead, you may not land on the platform AND Simba won't grab it. So if you are not sure you can land on a platform, try instead to aim Simba's claws to the edge. If he's curled into a ball, aim the edge of the "ball" to the place you want to grab. On the second stage, aim to the base of the Hippos' tails to grab them. I have a bunch of other tips, but these are the ones that I think are the most important. Feel free to add these tips in a video if you want. Cheers!

The Ogre Battle games get this sometimes too, though largely due to obscurity. Ogre Battle: You can get around faster by adding your starting Gryphon units to a team. Flanking and doing events is so much easier when you can have your wizards and crap just flying to liberate and hold out of the way locations. Also helpful at making the locals like you by winning battles faster. Tactics Ogre: Just stack elemental buffs and use bows or spears. So many try to copy the AI and get slaughtered, which is sad when the game has so many options. The AI is fodder, they can keep their knights and melee units, just stay away from them and keep your precious units from dying and talking about their entrails or blaming you for their deaths.

I always thought it was to ease those familiar with classic Mega Man into the game since the first stage would play pretty similarly to the NES games due to the dash being really the only thing that's drastically different in terms of movement. I think a better suggestion would be for the game to give you the dash right after you meet zero in the first stage.

Besides the excellent points people have made here, the game designers were likely aiming not to create a game you would know how to beat step by step but rather aiming to get players to try various levels and fail, sometimes due to lacking a key item or weapon, and then eventually discover what they needed. For example, they hope that you face Storm Eagle at least once before you get the dash, so the helpless feeling of getting blown off the airship is replaced by the feeling of power and control once you have the dash. The game designers wanted you to feel advancement/progression despite the game not being an RPG, and the dash was a big part of that. But once the dash became integrated and expected gameplay in MMX, that led to you starting with the dash in the sequels, because by that point it wouldn't be MMX without dash.

It might be for 2 reasons though: 1) As soon as you get the Dragon (Flammie) you suddenly have no idea what to do, since there's no clues (because most of the info is given through dialogue which a lot of people skips or pay no attention) it quickly becomes a _¿where the f**k do I go?_ kinds of game. 2) Depending on your level and the playthrough a lot of people get the undersea fortress risen very early and get absolutely wrecked by the enemies. And since leveling up both spells and weapons takes a lot of time it can upset a lot of people since they'll believe they can't beat the game. At least those are the 2 most common reasons I've gotten from people that they let me they have the game.

To be fair, Classic Mega Man tends to be harder because the level design isn't exactly good (see Mega Man 2 and Mega Man 9) nor do most of them have good gimmick usage and/or enemy placement (see Mega Man 3) and some of the bosses are outright unfair without a guide (see Boobeam Trap.) -- exceptions go to Mega Man 4, 6, 8, &B, 10 and 11. It's not like X did a better job at level design either (if I had to say so, I'd say X did an even worse job than Classic), but they tried to improve over time and that's great.

I think it comes down to controlling Rattly-I, unlike probably everyone else, really like playing as Rattly (Rattle Battle was one of my other favorite levels) and got pretty good at controlling him. Once you are good at controlling him, you clear the first part of the level quickly, and the Squawks and Squitter sections are free if you don't have to go fast.

It's always interesting when I find out games from my childhood are considered 'difficult.' First it seeing the TMNT and Battletoads games on the Most Difficult Games Of All Time sort of lists. Then it was seeing modern gamers actually play Mario 1 for the first time. Now it's Mega Man X and - of all things - Secret of Mana. Personally I don't think these old games are really more difficult than newer games. Just what's difficult has changed. Old games were unforgiving, but mechanically simple. Depending on the console you had between 2 and 6 buttons and a D-Pad. You were very limited in what you could do, but you had to do it precisely or die. Modern games tend not to require that level of precision, but are packed with layers and layers of game systems and much more complex controls - like 12 or so buttons, D-Pad, dual analog sticks, and multi-button inputs in most games. Understanding how to play the game is now the challenge. Once you do, execution is usually the easy part.

I think a lot of people aren't consciously aware of the time disparity between how old and new games expect players to acclimate. A modern game may take hours hand-holding players through accumulating and stacking skill sets, and people may get the feeling that an entire day has passed without their notice. Then they may try some "Nintendo Hard" game and become exasperated that it took a dozen tries to beat a level, expect the process is 2-3 minutes, which means the time investment was about half an hour.

Yeah for me the X series games are way harder than the NES Mega Man games. I've beaten all 6 Mega Man games and Mega Man 9. For whatever reason I cannot get thru any of the X games. I've been able to get thru the first 8 bosses in X but that's it. I've played bits and pieces of the first 5 X games but I just can't make any headway.

When we say “beat” a game are we talking without save states and such. Cause if that’s the case then a lot of gamers would be lying if they said they beat em legit

Megaman X is still easy. The final boss is tough, but once you learn its patterns and get all the items it becomes beatable. Now if you ask me if it's easy without losing all the lives and starting from the password screen, then you got a point.

Contra 3 is one of my favourite games. Crush missile + laser gun is the most powerful combo in my opinion. After 25 years of playing the game (on & off) I still can't beat it on hard mode. Although I can beat it on easy without using any continues and usually finishing with more men than I started with. On normal mode I sometimes need to use a continue and occasionally beat it without even using a single one. But that hard mode is insane and I usually make it level 5 and run out of continues

For Contra III, if you are willing to finesse the weapon switch button a little, double crush missiles or crush+lasers do the most damage, but you have to switch back and forth at a specific rhythm to get the most out of it since they both have a pause built in. You can actually end the first couple of bosses without them getting a single attack off if you do it right!

Secret of Mana was quite hard for me until I figured out you could spam spells. You don't have to wait for the animation to complete. You can pretty much cast a spell at each frame of the game sooooo...yeah. Bosses would just die before anything happened. I don't know if I could beat the game without some major grinding otherwise.

Secret of Mana is even easier than all that - when playing by yourself have them set to Keep Away and Guard and they won't die and serve their purpose: Magic & Item Mules. If you have trouble with them snagging (which you can figure out how to avoid) just leave them dead all the time and Cup of Wishes on them during boss fights. Also, if any boss is giving you trouble you can atomic nuke any boss using the compound magic damage loop. While NOT controlling the other characters you can rapid fire their magic which you cannot do under human control. Use the spell that deals the most damage and the second the spirit vanishes bring up the Sprites menu and use it again - the next spell will activate before the damage is applied and locks the enemy in an idle stance allowing to take a single pot shot at it with Randi. Once you feel the damage would be about 999 - wait 1 second to cast the next spell and continue. The boss will stay locked idle the 999 will apply and a new chain of damage will start. Use a Fairy Walnut when they're low on MP and continue until its dead.

Minor point for Secret of Mana: You don't have to talk to Jema in order to get the Neko to show up. But Neko can randomly despawn, because of too many NPCs already being loaded - in that case, just walk back north, and back down I hope you have a nice day ^^

I think a lot of it is just how much you like the game, and the age/time/mood youre in when you play it. For example, i was far from a good gamer as a kid, but i still beat games people call "hard," like the DKC 2 & 3, Super Ghouls & Ghosts, etc. because A. I had the patience to stick with SG&G at some point as a kid(especially because its practically impossible to game over), and B. I just always loved the DKC games, so it didn't feel like an ordeal playing them(plus, i actually dont think they're that hard, especially compared to games where you only get a set number of lives and you have to start over from the beginning, so it takes forever to learn the later stages and then get good at them.)
