[WHI7EW0LF]

Can someone tell me how to fight the True Last Boss in DLC2, I dont understand what it means by "Loop requirements unchanged"

[yonkers86]

Hello guys, I have a question about an achievement of Bullet Soul...

メッチャワール撃破 (120)

Defeat Meccha Whirl

I played the entire game about 5 times and I never found that boss, or maybe I didn't understand who is it @_@

Thanks for helping me.

[Hydeux]

Isn't he the True Last Boss ? You need to access and clear the second loop to defeat him.

Well, can you tell me how do I access to the second loop ? Sorry but I started to play Bullet Soul just yesterday, I played on Bulletsoul mode and after the 5th level the game is over. Do I have to play in Soul Mode to unlock the second loop ?

Thanks

[Hydeux]

You need to achieve some conditions in each stage, in order to get stars at the end of the stage.
If you have 7 (or more) stars at the end of the game, you'll access second loop.
The numbers of stars you collect depends on the medal you get, the color of this medal depends on how many lives you've lost and how many secrets you unlocked in each stage.

If you can read French, i've written a complete tutorial on our site : http://forum.shmupemall.com/viewtopic.p ... 105#p23105
But I've no time to translate all of it right now : just tell me if you need some help.

By the way, it's way easier to clear both loops in Version B of the game, it's a DLC available on the japanese maketplace, it's even easier than the normal game (thanx to the new character) and you can unlock achievements as well as in normal game.

Ok I got it, I think that I have to work hard on my skills then becuase I've never took more than a silver medal.
Thanks for answering, unfortunately I cannot read or speak french but your tutorial seems so useful.

[Hydeux]

To get silver (and 1 star), you need to lose 1 life maximum per stage.
To get gold (2 stars), you need to lose 1 life maximum & unlock XX secrets (depends on the stage).
To get platinum (3 stars), you need to no-miss the stage, unlock XX secrets (depends on the stage) & get an XX multiplier (depends on stage as well).

Note that it's harder to reach a high multiplier with auto-bomb, but it's still possible to reach second loop.

On http://www.shmupemall.com, even if you cannot read French, we also have a complete test with lots of videos, and I've made what I call a 1-sissy of the game : easiest way to clear 1st loop of the normal game, and both loops of the Version B.

Thank you so much for info and videos, they're soooo helpful.

Do you know if is it possible to buy DLC's from Japanese Xbox's website or do I have to buy Japanese MP ?

[Hydeux]

Glad if I can help !

You can buy DLC on the Japanese marketplace directly from the X-Box, but with Japanese MSPoints (your credit card won't be accepted, or maybe just your IP address -you're in Italy aren't you ?-, don't really know but you need to buy a MSPoints card from whatever website before).

I never tried from the Japanese Xbox's website, 'cause I don't speak a single word of Japanese, but I doubt it will work, due to the same reasons.

Maybe someone can confirm ?

I tried yesterday and I can confirm that you cannot buy from the website or directly from the console, just with Japanese MP.

The question is that all the games on demand on the Japanese Marketplace are ip-locked for US/EU consoles, I don't know if it's the same thing for stuff like DLC's.

[Elixir]

DLC is downloadable from Japanese accounts with Japanese points, Games on Demand titles are ip-locked and aren't accessible outside of Japan (don't worry, there's only a few shmups on Games on Demand anyway).

true : DLC don't care about you IP.

[hail good sir]

It's

[Chaos Phoenixma]

single play, which is why it's the hardest of the Arrange B achievements. I'd definitely like to know how to do it so I can stop having to play that awful mode. But at least I have all the other Arrange B ones, so I can just focus on stage 3 now.

[nZero]

Has anyone figured out how to get the 10,000 Expert Items in Stage 3 achievement on Arrange B? Like what sort of rank you need, and how you have to play the level?

Stay in green grid background mode, use hyper custom and spam hypers on mid/large enemies and the boss to cancel lots of bullets into items, and bomb the crap out of popcorn/tanks to make sure they generate as many items as possible. Your ranks should be high enough since you've got the 50M if you've been balancing your time between all stages.

[Chaos Phoenixma]

Do you get the achievement during the stage or after? I've been quitting before it saves after beating the boss if I don't get it to preserve the rank.

Also, what reason for Hyper Custom? The shorter hypers seem like it'd make it harder rather than easier.

I think it unlocks immediately, it's been a while. Hyper Custom for the invincibility period to point blank to get extra bomb/hyper gauge. You could try without and just use the longer hypers to eat bullets in green background mode, not sure which is better.

[Chaos Phoenixma]

Just got it without the Hyper Custom. I did go from 700+ Red rank to under 400 though, but I got the achievement and don't care to play the mode any more, so I don't care.

[adversity1]

Have to say I'm pretty proud of this one:

Have to say I'm pretty proud of this one:

Just managed the same a week ago, the 300M score is a good deal of work.

Thanks for your non-nenshin-clear guide, it helped in planning for the most annoying achievement

[Throsh]

I'm trying to get "Iron Plate Love" in DFK, I've got 31 million on stage 3 but I still haven't been able to unlocked the achievement. I just cannot get it. What am I doing wrong? any one got any tips? ideas?

[Chaos Phoenixma]

you need a high Red rank for bullet density, then trigger green background. It's all about canceling bullets with Hypers.

Whether you want to use Hyper Custom or not is up to preference.

Damn, you beat me man, congrats! Yeah, I had 980 for like 6 full months. That last 20 was eluding me but I got some good advice over at NeoGAF and managed to pull it off. To hit 300 mil you really have to learn the game in and out.

That feeling of completion is like nothing else though. Ranks right under Vanquish in terms of my hardest achievement comps.

Under Defeat HD achievements are out.

Thanks for posting the list and translating! For right now, everything looks pretty straightforward. I don't see any mention of single credit anywhere. I wonder what the 節約 achievements are going to be? Or Extra Mode?

Extra Mode should be the 2-1 Start. As for SCCing.. well, the requirements for triggering the second loop are No Continues and an average Contribution Ratio of 95% or higher (unless G.Rev include an option to disable the requirements, forcing the second loop by default). Unless simply playing Extra Mode unlocks the second loop stage clears and ending achievements.

[adversity1]

Officially the most retarded shooter achievements since DDP:DOJBLEX.
