RQ: Unlocking Alternate Paths in DDP DFK BL Arrange (Ketsui)

Post by EllertMichael »

After a few runs of the Ketsui style Arrange mode in DFK BL, I was able to unlock an alternative Area 1 path right before the mid-boss. I was just wondering what it was I did differently, haha
Possibly some combination of Score + Chain + 10 Chips + Rank?
Does each Area have an alternate path?
I understand the game is brand new so I don't expect an immediate response, but all help is appreciated :wink:

Are you saying there is another path besides URA?

Hmmm... That's probably exactly what it was. the URA path. I just did it unintentionally so I was confused
Thanks, dude.

Aww, I was hoping there would be regular, ura, then KETSUI MIDBOSSES PATH.

The typical method in DFK to get the Ura path is:

Destroy all the silos in Stage 1 before the tanks run over them
Collect the first 3 bees at the beginning of the stage
Don't bomb or die
Have a full hyper meter before the boss appears

I assume it's the same.

Anyone have any tips for pulling this off? I can get it like 10% of the time, and it's pretty frustrating to have to restart so much to get a run going.

Currently I'm deploying hyper a little later than usual to wipe the screen and move up to lock onto the oil tank, but I'm often just slightly too late (I can't even tell if I've missed the trigger or not until I get to the midboss...).
