Hidden last stage in shmups?

Post by TerminasluT »

Im trying to figure out how to get the last stage in a few games.
Anyone knows the requirements?

Psyvariar 2 - how to get in stage 6
Homura - how to get in stage 5
Gigawings Generation - how to get in stage 6

Any others games that would fit in this category?

You have to gain enough levels to trigger the final transformation by the end of stage 5...I forget the exact level number (300-something?), it's in one of the strategy topics here someplace.

IIRC you just have to get through the first 5 levels without continuing...I think the first GW did the same thing when it came to stage 7.

Homura I haven't played (though I should get my "budget" copy in a month or so), but if you check the strategy forum I'll bet there's something there...

As for other games which require stuff like this, there are a ton of 'em...a bunch of Cave's stuff has different requirements for hitting a second loop, Batrider's got its secret bosses, etc...

Get through stages 1 through 4 on a single credit.
