Has anyone ever made a list of TLB requirments?

Post by njiska »

I know the individual strategy guides usually list them, but considering how many shumps have True/hidden bosses it'd be nice to have a master list. Anyone ever found one? If not should we maybe start one in the Strategy forum?

There are hardly any TLB's with requirements. You usually meet them after the last boss or second loop.
The only ones with requirements I can think of atm are DS MBL and MSF BL.

The secret last boss of Karous only appears on Hard mode and you have to collect a hidden Milestone logo in each of the five stages. You also must defeat the final boss before its timer runs out.
Of course, that's just an opinion.

Maybe a list of 2nd loop reqs would also suit OP's request as well? There are probably quite a few TLB requirements in 1-loop games if you dig around, Mushi futari Ultra (no continuing) and God (no dieing for the whole game) modes come to mind for me.

Yeah, you can't see the TLB in Futari 1.5 Ultra unless you get there on one credit.

Oh, this thread comes at the right time, I have a question and I"m too lazy to search the forums: Dangun Feveron - TLB @ No Miss till stage 5 boss right?
Also, I've heard that he can't hit you? What's the deal with that?

If you don't use any bombs you'll be invincible during the TLB fight.

If it's just a simple matter of getting to the 2nd loop like DDP, than i'd consider the loop reqs to be the TLB reqs as you must enter the loop to face the TLB. Either way it sounds list a list worth having. ZOM's query seems to support the idea.

I'm pretty sure the 1-credit requirement also applies to 1.0/1.01 Ultra in addition to 1.5.

There's also the split-loop games Ketsui and DFK which require you to do the harder loop to see the TLB.

Oh I'm dumb, I thought we were talking about the first Mushi and was confused (eventhough I even quoted it!) nevermind.
