never reached the TLB yet : apart from the 5 milestones logo and the stg5 boss destruction, am i missing something ?
The tlb is only available in hard mode and only requires the 5 logos to get to him, for those who dont know the first 2 logos are reveiled with shot 3rd with sword and the last 2 with shield .

Damn TLB... almost there though ! Does anybody know how much points you get to kill it ? And how do I get to reach 2 billion points in Normal mode ?

2 billion in normal = push hard collect a good few speed up items early on so you can really get around faster to kill etc and milk the bosses as much as poss especially the 2nd . If i remember correct you get 1 mill for tlb .

Love it! Played it casually years ago on DC and have wanted it for Naomi for the last few years. Only recently did I find a deal on it. I've also had Milestone fever lately and needed MOAR after getting Radirgy Noah and Illvelo as well.

I'm playing primarily with shield and shot. I'm told that's not the best way, that shield/sword is probably the best bet? I still need to try for the TLB...if for no other reason than to just SEE it.

I will go further into strategy later on but bare in mind all 3 weapons are important to power up when i finish the game on either hard or normal all 3 are around 88.

That explains it. Been playing the shit out of this (Wii version) recently and loving it. Very addictive. Wondered what I might have missed on the 5th boss (thought I might have to destroy the two red "arms") when I saw no TLB. Score around 1.4B, give or take I guess. Need to start on "hard" now :)

I've been playing for weeks and i can find a way ti improve my scores, i can only presume that i'm missing something. I have a few questions:
The game doesn't give you any extra point for all the remaining live when you clear the game.
There's a way to destroy every part from the mid bosses, the bosses, the last and the TLB.

I know, those are not questions hehe.

Good work kai your getting there few tips the 2nd boss = milk and make sure you check which weapons need to be brought up some levels and use him for this . 3 midboss can be milked for a good bunch of levels to so yeah really now just get a feel for how long the bosses last and milk as much as you can .

I wonder how it is possible to reach 3 bil. on Hard Mode. Boss milking and speed-killing the ennemy waves are important but is the yellow triangle that changes bullets into points needed?

I never got the triangle on my hard score (clp) It was solely down to after establishing something resembling a strategy for leveling up playing as aggressively as possible... are you milking all the good spots? Level 2 boss , level 3 midboss + boss, level 4 boss (be careful with the timeout.) and the obv parts of level 5?

Great to see this random triangle bonus isn't required for the 3 bil. points!

I usually milk the stage 2 boss, the stage 3 mid boss and boss (2nd form), but not the other bosses. I am not quick enough on the stage 4 boss' first form so I kinda have to rush it before it leaves, and on stage 5, I tend to quick kill everything to cash in the multiplier.
What specific parts of stage 5 should be milked?

The kinda midboss thing that flys down near the beginning of stage can get a few level ups there for sure.
