Fyrewolf5 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 NPCs would be a nice touch for sure. One thing that did disappoint me was that there was no hidden message in the quest description, I had tried translating all that binary (which ended on a half-byte oddly enough) and came up with nothing for it.

Sylph777 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 (edited) oki... i tried a run alone with my hucaseal earlier and i managed to finish it ( had to be very tricky sometimes in last room :x ), R78 you are deceiftful but i still found a very easy way to deal with this last huge baranz spawns and it is when playing this last room and those infamous spawns that i've realized how twisted and sadistic you are xD Anyway, i think i've found all the secrets of this quest ( excepted maybe the easter egg, unless you can't get it alone ) and i must say that you had very good ideas here and there your quest overally is very good ( even though it's totally not designed for solo ), here what i've found : - 1 Photon Drops by shooting a flying box in air ( i won't say more to not spoil ) - 2 Photon Crystal by killing some specific monsters in a certain little room.. - A secret warp in mine 2 ( a bit glitchy to enter but well.. ) - A boss warp to fight Vol Opt ( phase 2 has no lightning like the gryphon in gal da val darkness and that's actually a good idea ) - An extra HP mat in an intermediate area after you defeated Vol Opt ( not sure if this one is fixed or randomly generated ) - 2 Luck materials and 1 TP material in very last room Here's some screenshot : I find it nice that you was able to use this room that i hadn't seen since many years ( if i recall correctly, last time was on GC solo when you have to unlock/activate the 3 pillars in forest/cave/mine and warp in this small area that give you access to ruins ) Thank you for your work R-78 Edited June 28, 2016 by Sylph777 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-78 Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) On 27/06/2016 at 6:04 PM, Fyrewolf5 said: I may have been able to get stuck because my character is fairly short, it's not at minimum height but it is quite low, perhaps your testing characters were larger. Mh ok, I didn't know the size of characters could affect where they can pass. Quote I didn't really do much easter egg hunting(I was just playing on normal so I can observe all the spawns; how many canadines are fliers vs melee, sinow red/gold ratios, spawn layouts and speculating possible positionings for them, etc.) I like when players pay attention to things like that. (I'm used to "KILL KILL KILL, who cares if this is a zonding canadine ?" xD) Quote but since you say you don't mind us posting about what we found, I did really like that challenge room you put towards the end of mines, where there is a spawning machine which spawns a dubchich with no switch, and after the player goes through the effort to kill it 5 times it triggers the challenge room to start, locking the door and making a lot of tough close spawns appear (including 2 baranz in that tiny room haha). At the end, two brown boxes appeared which each contained a photon crystal. Nice one, usually people are not patient enough to see this On 27/06/2016 at 7:43 PM, Fyrewolf5 said: One thing that did disappoint me was that there was no hidden message in the quest description, I had tried translating all that binary (which ended on a half-byte oddly enough) and came up with nothing for it. Ahah you went that far ... indeed I randomly typed that binary in order to fulfill the description blank. The max characters allowed didn't make it a multiple of 8 though.

Quote Only downside is the ammount of baranz and those floaty guys. There are actually fewer "floaty guys" than gillchichs as for Baranz, check the enemy count, this is a lie there were not that many. Quote Suggestion would be to include some pioneer npcs with a bit of funny speech so it becomes more memorable. I'm open to that suggestion so if you have any script idea, feel free to send me and I may implement it. Quote overall was fun, enjoyed those spawn capsules, really wanted to walk inside one and get teleported somewhere secret ya know! Unfortunately can't do that, the capsule is path blocking. But if you are a Gillchich you can go inside. By the way I cleaned my inbox as you asked but where is my new PM ?

Sylph can solo it, I need to add more Baranz. Quote and it is when playing this last room and those infamous spawns that i've realized how twisted and sadistic you are xD Ahah I thought you already knew how sadistic I am. (remember the one who made Sylph RQ Ultima !) Quote Anyway, i think i've found all the secrets of this quest and i must say that you had very good ideas here and there your quest overally is very good, here what i've found : - 1 Photon Drops by shooting a flying box in air ( i won't say more to not spoil ) - 2 Photon Crystal by killing some specific monsters in a certain little room.. - A secret warp in mine 2 ( a bit glitchy to enter but well.. ) - A boss warp to fight Vol Opt ( phase 2 has no lightning like the gryphon in gal da val darkness and that's actually a good idea ) - An extra HP mat in an intermediate area after you defeated Vol Opt ( not sure if this one is fixed or randomly generated ) - 2 Luck materials and 1 TP material in very last room Amazing ! But you actually missed one last hidden little thing in Mine 2 Yes, the HP is fixed. (There is a fixed Scape doll as well in the 4 cryotubes room but this is not a secret) Also I have to correct you, in the very last room there are 2 luck and 2 TP but sometimes boxes won't drop anything. Quote ( excepted maybe the easter egg, unless you can't get it alone ) The name refers to an organization from Advance Wars - Days of Ruin, nothing hidden in the quest itself. Quote ( even though it's totally not designed for solo ) You have to mention "Classic Solo" or "Solo with Sylph included". Quote I find it nice that you was able to use this room that i hadn't seen since many years ( if i recall correctly, last time was on GC solo when you have to unlock/activate the 3 pillars in forest/cave/mine and warp in this small area that give you access to ruins ) Thank you for your work R-78 Exact. And here you can activate 6 of the 3 pillars. (joke) Thank you for the post and you're welcome :] Anyway : Congratulations to Saith for finding the secret challenge room. Congratulations to Sylph for soloing the quest (on Ultima) and finding almost all of the secrets. Enemy count added thanks to Lemon's Counting Tool.

bloodseeker Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 can someone post more specific locations of the secrets? Saint's hints are not really helpful. I have been running this quest so many times in normal mode without realise these secrets exist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemon Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Isn't the whole point of them being secrets that they are difficult to find? Would ruin the fun of searching and finding them for everyone in the future if someone posted directions wouldn't it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodseeker Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 It has been released for a long time ago. Maybe it's time to reveal these secrets. Plus, they are driving me crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferretone Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Small note, but the box with the PD in it doesn't seem to always drop a PD anymore. Did the DAR on it change or something? I'm not very knowledgeable about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit of a shame, I was able to gear up quite a fair bit whilst the PD drop was consistent. Very much looking forwards to the next quests you publish, if ya decide to continue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
