RQ: Radirgy Noa - the fucking dickhead on the even stages

Post by GaijinPunch »

I've seen a video of it being done but apparently I'm far too retarded to do it.

Okay, I pulled it off somehow. Kind of tricky...basically takes practice.
Now to figure out how to not cock up stage 8.

Gosh ! I'm too late on this : I've done it too !

Here is how I managed that :
-first the left wing, I stay on the black line beside the name of the ship and keep firing and slashing all the time, I take red weapon as soon as i can
-second meeting, the first wing is out after a few firing/slashing, same thing on the second wing, also staying on the black line
- third meeting, the second wing is out after a few firing/slashing (not sure of that, maybe on the fourth meeting...) anyway then :
- on the fourth meeting, if the second wing is out, I go near the center but not directly on it so two shots of the red weapon do touch it, and I keep firing/slashing.

Destroying the ship AND collecting the Milestone logo gave me circa 40 millions, it may depends on your multiplier AND on your use or not of the "charged sword", which add a x2 to the normal multiplier if I'm not wrong...

Yeah, I don't have that charged sword thing down just yet. It does add x2 to the multipler, but I don't think it will work for the Milestone logo item, and that's where a lot of the points are. Getting both at x16 is a few hundred million points. Makes the second extend possible. The video I linked has a guy killing the dude on the 3rd meeting!

Have you 1CC'ed the game yet?

:?:
No on the second part of the vid you've linked above ( http://es.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm10033565 ), we see the "fucking dickhead" (quite appropriate sentence !) is destroyed on stage 7, which is its fourth appearance as it appears in stages 1, 3, 5 and 7.

a few hundred millions ? You mean tens of millions, don't you ?
On the vid, the guy is near 90 millions before killing the dickhead, then as you can see there :

Image

He gets something like 30 millions destroying it WITH A X32 MULTIPLIER (x16 and x2 using the charged sword).
Then, he collects the Milestone logo with a x16 multiplier (you're right obviously : there's no point -I mean it's useless - using the sword on the logo), and he gets something like 20 millions more (a bit less actually).

So, for both parts he got around 50 millions, with max multiplier. (and he also got a different ending !)
QED ! :wink:

Oh no ! Far from it : no time this week, level 8 is really hard (I 1credit NOT clear :mrgreen: to this level boss so far...), and level 9 is really harder I think...
And actually, I find it a bit annoying that you have to learn by heart exactly when to use the absnet. I mean : in the first Radirgy, you could let go for a while : with the automatic shield, there was no real threat. But here, as there's no shield, if your Absnet goes off a bit too early then you're off time (is that English ?) and you're fucked !

Sorry, yes -- I had an extra zero in my head for the score.
Here is a video of the the bad guy being destroyed on stage 5!!! Looks like his score goes from 87 million to about 16X million. Watch his remains: This is not the Wii version so it looks like the extend is given automatically (no green item) right when he kills the guy (at 150 million), and the Milestone logo is another 10 million or so.

Thoughts?

And yes, I agree -- the ABS system sucks. Really breaks the flow of the game. The chain goes down b/c you might go for 30 seconds w/ like 2 enemies on the screen. WTF? As much as I hate how easy Karous & Illvelo were, they were both way more fun to play.

No idea what's going on...
I may be wrong on what I said a few posts ago about : the guy on the first vid' got 40 millions, but maybe not with the multiplier maxed...

Indeed it's the arcade version (it's writen on 2p side "insert coin(s)" instead of "Press + button"), but there IS a green item, we just actually don't see it in the explosion. You can see the first extend the guy got (level 4) in the second part of his video : http://es.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm8784641
Here's a picture of it, the green item is up-left sorry 'bout quality, the vid was awful...) :

At the end of the videos, the arcade doesn't show the ending, but just that screen and then the staff roll :

To prevent spoilers I cut out the ending. There are 2 different endings so go to the arcade and see them for yourself! Thanks for watching

Two questions:

How many Milestone logos are there and where are they? Somebody has a link to a video for this? I've only got the one from the dickhead yet.

And what are the requirements to reach the TLB?

There is only one MileStone logo in the game, and you get that from destroying the odd-stages mid-boss.

There are no requirements to reach the TLB. You can credit feed to it. The requirements to get the good end though involve SCCing the game and collecting the MileStone logo.

Thanks. When I got the logo from the mid-boss I thought there are other logos hidden in the stages as well as in Karous.

Btw I found the easiest way to defeat the mid-boss is to destroy his left and right wings with the red weapon but switch to green for the last encounter with him.

Is there some advantage to using the red weapon on this guy? I fucking hate the red weapon and when I tried to use it on him on my last run, on the 4th encounter, I pretty much did no damage to him at all, my red weapon wouldn't barely hit him at all. Is it the most powerful or something? Because the shot style is atrocious. I'll probably try what Antares just said and try Green for my last encounter.

EDIT: I just went through and did all 4 encounters with the green shot and he actually died pretty early into the 4th encounter. I figured I still probably had a good 10-15 seconds left at the end of the 4th encounter when he died. Almost reached 100mil on that run, too, :(

I recognized a big part of the scoring at the bosses comes from making them drop big point items. But so far I don't have a clue what makes them appear. I beat bosses many times with x32 multiplier and got only small point items. Other times I finished them with x16 and got the big items. So what's the trick to get the big items?
