Started playing the game last night - whoa boy is it tough!!!

Yep finally got it last night, started playing it and I agree, it is a bit tougher than what ANB is.

(For those that follow this thread I've got the Playstation 2 version of it)

And what about some of these new enemies, you've got these evil looking spiders that spit webbing at you (and if you get hit you're trapped for a few seconds), then you've got large snails and then there's these things that look like Dreadwings from the original.

So where am I up to? I'm past the pirate ship bit where it blows a hole in the bush to reveal a new track, I'm past the bit where you've defeated those two monsters, and now I'm up to this bit where it's got those jellyfish from Convexity. Not only that but you've gotta know where you're going on this one otherwise the branch drops you.

Ohhh and what about Spyro's new furies!!!!! the Fire one's pretty neat, the ice one is even cooler than the original (yep pun included) but I haven't seen the Electricity or Earth one yet.

Ahh well - will post more in here as the game progresses!!

I think the whole game is sorta frustrating.

Re: Started playing the game last night - whoa boy is it tough!!!

Could not agree with you more there Dragon, there's a couple of bits that had me thinking ok how do I get past here.

Simple - Dragon Time!!!

When you got those hell hounds and the trees from the start of ANB - take out the dogs first, then go up to the other one hit Dragon Time, pull off a 5-6 hit combo and get outta there before you get hit!

Wait for Dragon Time to reset - repeat step 1 and done!!

The Well of Souls is a pain in the neck.

Re: Started playing the game last night - whoa boy is it tough!!!

I'm gradually chipping away at it bit by bit.

However I did notice something:

Notice how Ravage Rider acts a bit like Steam from Munitions Forge out of ANB?

I found out the best thing to do with it was to run around behind it and wait until it pulled up then run up behind it and let loose with either Fire or Ice.

The Executioner took a bit of working out and was dead easy in the end.

LOVED the bit how they said there was a bonus match ... guess who?!?! Cynder!!!

But hey I'm in yet again another tough spot will more than likely figure out a way to get around it

Actually the Ravage Rider is weak to Earth.

You're saying it's vulnerability is Earth?

No matter Gwenio, I managed to kick its butt literally when I was playing against it

I hate those scorpion like creatures with the cannons on their tail

Re: Started playing the game last night - whoa boy is it tough!!!

Freeze them when they rear back, giving you more time to attack and you can imobilize both this way. And earth is good for mechanical enemies, such as cannons. Do not forget to cremate the undead with cleasing fire.

There are some tips on enemy weaknesses.
