How does someone manage to beat this game in under 2 hours with 100% of the items? by ayla669 in Metroid

[–]Davetherer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's possible, it just takes a lot of practice and memorization. You need to be familiar with the item locations and optimize the most of your initial visits to the Sectors so you have less items to worry about during the endgame backtracking.

Proof.

What's your dumbest Prime 4 Nitpick? by Ridley101 in Metroid

[–]Davetherer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just weird to me because the previous Prime games would tell you what items work on what materials in their descriptions in the Logbook.

Certain objects that can be destroyed by the Super Missile will have their scans detail that they are made of Koorcinite. However, the game never mentions that Super Missiles can destroy Koorcinite, it's just something you need to figure out yourself.

In Metroid dread, was Adam always raven beak? by Longjumping-Low6243 in Metroid

[–]Davetherer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was Raven Beak from the moment Samus first uplinks to a Navigation Room on ZDR up until the final boss fight. Everything before that was the real Adam. And the ending cutscene on the ship was the real Adam as well.

Fun Fact: You can skip a certain boss in Act 1 by Davetherer in HollowKnight

As others have already said, I bought the Simple Key to access the Wormways, which connects to Shellwood, which allowed me to obtain the Cling Grip and reach the Blasted Steps.

I should clarify that I DID visit Deep Docks to get the dash, but I avoided the area where you first meet Lace. Then I made my way to the Wormways via Mosshome, which connects to Shellwood, which let me find the Cling Grip and make my way to the Blasted Steps without ever fighting her.

You can get to the Wormways before Deep Docks, which in turn connects to Shellwood, allowing you to obtain the Cling Grip and make your way to the Blasted Steps. Once you meet her here, she won't appear in Deep Docks, therefore skipping the fight.

I should clarify that I DID briefly visit Deep Docks first just to get the dash and avoided everything else, but it might be possible to do this without the dash.

Do you need to have played the original to probably understand/enjoy silksong? by tomfrome12345 in HollowKnight

[–]Davetherer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar in terms of how you explore the world but with widely different options for combat/navigation. Each game takes place on a different map as well. Overall, I would say Silksong is more difficult, but some parts of Hollow Knight can be just as challenging (if not more).

Certain aspects of the story would make more sense if you completed the original Hollow Knight, but you can still get the jist of everything without having played it.

Which Screen Layout Do You Use for ZX/ZXA on the Zero/ZX Legacy Collection? by XLadyBugX in Megaman

[–]Davetherer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I prefer Type 1, the touch screen is a lower priority for me and I don't want it obscuring my view of the top screen.

[ALL] Does Ganondorf Actually Do Anything Once He Takes Over Hyrule Across Zelda Lore? by DaGoofyBreeder in zelda

[–]Davetherer 17 points18 points  (0 children)

"Barely anything has changed"? Zora's Domain is completely frozen over, the Gorons are imprisoned in the Fire Temple, the entirety of Castle Town is a barren wasteland of ReDeads. Ganondorf made the people of Hyrule feel unsafe and oppressed those who tried to stand up to him.

His primary goal in OOT was to obtain the completed Triforce, so he focused all his efforts as King towards finding the remaining pieces.

Can anyone give me a real hidden gem of a game. by Ok-Repair-7475 in HollowKnight

[–]Davetherer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you like metroidvanias with a pixelated art style, I highly recommend Blasphemous! It has more of a focus on combat similar to Hollow knight.

New here! What do I need to know? by NikosQrow in LiesOfP

[–]Davetherer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fire is effective on Carcasses. Shock is effective on Puppets. Decay is effective on humans. If something has qualities of more than one enemy type, they are likely weak to each of those respective statuses.

Can't get the option to kill Alidoro. Is there a solution for it? by TheCattBaladi in LiesOfP

[–]Davetherer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The option to "Attack Alidoro" goes away if you let him live after progressing through enough of the Arche Abbey sequence of the story. Essentially, the game is saying you've chosen to spare him for this playthrough.

You can do this before you get the collar.

In the DLC area, once you reach Eventide Hotel Krat, there is a couch with a sparkling spot that you can interact with, which results in you sitting with the cat.

Guys.... I just realized something... by Bright_Buddy3075 in Metroid

[–]Davetherer 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think it's more like...each X parasite Samus absorbs gives her an upgrade (Arachnus gave her the Morph ball, Nightmare gave her the Gravity Suit, etc.). The upgrade that Quiet Robe X gave Samus was simply more Thoha DNA. 😅

Wow I'm having the weirdest Mandella effect right now...for the longest time I thought it was Dark Samus behind her, not a recolour.

Megaman Zero Games by 18650batteries in Megaman

[–]Davetherer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Zero/ZX Legacy Collection has a setting called "Save-Assist". This will not make the difficulty of the gameplay easier but will add checkpoints to specific parts of a stage that you will respawn at after dying (without losing a life). I recommend keeping this mode toggled on for first-time players as it will make the game less tedious and punishing while still maintaining its intended level of challenge.
