RQ: Where and How to Trigger 1-ups in Espgaluda
Ok, I know there is one in level 3 from watching the super replay, but I forgot the requirements for getting it. Also, I think there is one more 1-up?

The only requirement is to be in Kakusei mode. You're either not doing enough damage (the thing does take quit a bit of punishment before appearing) or you're lapsing into Overdrive Mode before you've done enough damage.dmauro wrote:I know I've gotten this 1up several times before, but lately I haven't been able to get it. I am shooting the orb in kakusei mode, but no 1up is appearing. What are the other requirements? Do I have to not bomb or not die or kill certain parts of the ship (I thought I had killed everything)?
It is possible that I shot it before it appeared on screen in normal mode (I don't have any overscan so I can see everything at the top)? The last time I tried it, I was very careful. I loaded up on lots of gems, went into kakusei mode before I got there, killed the guys in front of it, blew up everything there, then went back to normal mode without depleting my gems, and there was no extend. I'm pretty sure I had bombed earlier though.
edit: I just watched another video, and i might have been shooting the wrong section. I'm going to have to give it another go tonight.

Oh, hi. That Youtube vid is a little crappy on quality, so you should probably watch the higher quality version, available in 30fps big and 60fps small varieties.Ruldra wrote:Watch this vid and keep an eye when the timer is at 4:00. You need to shoot at the small black orb in Kakusei mode.
As for the Extend, the only condition for appearance is that you hit the target point enough while in gem-fueled Kakusei Mode. Shouldn't take more than three seconds to make it appear.

one great way to uncover the 1up and save alot of crystals is to go into kakusei and use a bomb fragment on the 1up, best way is to do it is to time it so the very end of your bomb hits the 1up just as it gets into screen.
basically kill off the 2 big "birds", immediatley switch to kakusei and bomb staying right beneath where the 1up appears, as soom as the bomb is over switch out of kakusei and collect your 1up (which should have appeared if youve done it correctly), saves you alot of crystals for the boss which gives tons of points
if youre too slow with the bomb youll also kill off a couple of the turrets surrounding it which means loosing out on a couple of crystals..
