Kid Icarus: Uprising!

[kirbymariomega]

I can't even get it to work on regular enemies, let alone a boss.
I just stick to the Idol Toss.

I dont have the game, but the Claws and Palms look like really good weapons.

excuse the bump but

ICARUS GET

I just started it up and holy crap this looks awesome

will post updates later

[Watzup7856]

my best weapon has to be the samurai blade with a value of 277. it also has a poisoning effect and is light so you can run fast too.

but honestly this is a surprisingly good game

I got this game and a 3DS a few days ago. And let me just say
THIS GAME IS AMAZING
I'm not afraid to give it a 10/10. I absolutely love the gameplay, the controls, the storyline, the graphics (especially in 3D), everything about it is remarkable. People have criticized the controls many times and have killed the ratings because of it, but I found the controls difficult to use for the first 10 minutes,then I quickly became used to them. This goes double when using the stand that is included with the game.

Don't you mean "Hamazing"? [/KidIcarusJoke]

I honestly forgot this existed


After clearing Chapter 9 (Medusa's Final Battle) I went and did it again without using the Three Sacred Treasures, simply because I was interested to see if anything different would happen in the chapter (and because bonus dialogue in a game as funny as Kid Icarus is always worth it). As a reference, I played on the same difficulty level I initially set it to during the run with the Treasures... and it turns out having TST equipped makes the chapter HARDER. My Silver Bow cleared enemies in half the time it took with the Shining Bow, and although the Mirror Shield is fantastic, things just felt better when I could kill everything faster.

Oh, I usually play around Lv. 6 simply because I want the game to be "challenging" without getting all "imitation Touhou Project".

Anybody trying to clean out all the treasure hunts? Or at least Palutena's and Viridi's?  Hades seems a weeee bit to intense to handle.  I'm in the final stretch of Palutena's, just got all those "Clear X boss with Y weapons" and "Clear X boss in Crisis mode (5.0)" and such.  Also all the ones like Dismantle 50 weapons and such.  I never dismantle them, I always fuse them because its more useful.

Also if you ever get one rock the Flintlock Staff online. I love it, sniping give the greatest feeling of satisfaction, I swear.

I thought I was smart, and using a feather on the "Clear all chapters on 9.0 Intensity" would snag me the 999,999 hearts preemptively, but its the ONLY challenge you can't use a feather on.  Hgggnnnnrrmmmm

Speaking of Treasure hunts:
I've 100% Palutena's
I've 75% Viridi's
I've 50% Hade's

Yeah... I tried the same thing.

Despite everything, there is a boss that I still struggle with time to time:

Hade's Heart

The way it runs around when you hit it, THEN the Bomberman explosives from the fake one, (and the occasional mine) seems abit much at times.

I really hated that boss.

[Jennifer]

Ok, for everyone having trouble with that cuddly menace...

Ok, a good strategy is to do this:

1) Use a weapon with excellent homing. Clubs and other weapons won't be much help, unless the club is an Earth Maul Club.

2) When it enraged, The best thing to do is to actually TAKE the hit, because dodging it is a pain in the ass to do. Plus, you'll be in a great position to counter-attack.

3) Using Powers can be a GREAT advantage, such as Bumblebee, Mega Laser, and Crisis Recovery.

Good advice, but there's one problem with that:

Boss Rush. Taking hits in Boss Rush certainly isn't a smart thing to do. I didn't have much trouble there (used my second to last/last wine before the fight), but I'm HORRIBLY dreading the Hard mode. I've tried it once, and only managed to take out Twinbellows and Gaol. -.- Oh, I'm also still using my Gaol Blade. Sure, I've come across higher numbers for range/melee and higher level weapons, (a 334 Boom Orbitars?) but when the damage comes down to it, I still like that weapon.

I can relate. I'm still loving my poison Ninja Palm even though I have other weapons that are easily 50+ levels over it. As far as the story mode is concerned, Silver Bow is pro, and a Silver Bow with added homing, more Hearts gathering, AND a +4 in-Peril attack boost? BEST
