RQ: Darius Gaiden Extends

Post by JoshF »

I've been taking A-B-D-G-L-Q-V, occasionally getting a no miss, but I can't seem to find the second extend for this route. I could really use that 1 million :wink:

Clever Taito :D

I usually fly in between the blocks as soon as possible so I can't get attacked by the turrets.

I managed to get my high-score (09,438,850) today just playing the game casually, meaning I wasn't milking boss projectiles. No miss, 1 bomb, 4 captures.

Here's another question Zinger: Taking the path A-B-D-H-L-Q-V, there are actually 3 purple (bomb) shields. Whenever I picked up the third there was no indication it was even counted. Does this mean I get to use one of the earlier bombs without a score penalty at the end of the game?

Yeah, a sixth bomber item gives you a measly 5.000 points, so feel free to use one (Neon Light Illusion? ;)). Not all routes will give away as many though.

Thanks. I made the mistake of not using an earlier bomb so when I eventually did use one the bomb stock counted it as if I used two. :shock:

BTW isn't that 5.000 points just for picking it up not because it's in stock?

Yes ofcourse, sorry for being unclear. I thought it was pretty obvious since it doesn't show up in the HUD.

Where is the extend in Q? The image is broken, and I need that extend to clear the game :?

Bump! Here's a question: I notice on the 3rd level spacestation there's a 1up. Is there one on every 3rd level, or just that one? Are there two extends in the entire game regardless of which route?

Every third and sixth level has an extend, so there are two per route.

Since Zinger's Zone Q pic has been down for a long time, I thought I'd post a replacement. The extend is that purple circle.
