Don't subscribe to this channel I have the Nemesis. But I keep leveling it up by accident... Either way, I've long since finished this area... Just recalling the memories... :)
@@SabeNo-rh7mb yeah, honestly it's not that hard to spam the polar star really fast. Only downside is lack of jetpack ability, but you'll get rocket boots later anyways.
If you're going for the neutral ending, this is cave is the last thing stopping you from finally tearing the doctor to shreds. If you're going for the good ending, this is the *warmup.*
I had this game on my DSi when I was little. I would constantly start new save files before getting stuck at Mimiga Village because I didn't know what to do, since I was a dumb child. Because of this, I had the words "First Cave" etched into my mind. I eventually returned to the game later on to buckle down and finish it. When I got to this section, and saw the words "Last Cave" on my screen, I was immediately sent into orbit.
Curly has her Light Machine Gun in the Original, making her pretty strong depending on what damage output you can do with it with Curly on your back. It makes your life hell, yes, but would you rather have 1 gun and a bad ending or 2 guns and a good ending?
EpicNolegs Crap, I forgot to mention that in the 3DS version she has Nemesis. It makes her hit a LOT harder then she used to...but that doesn't count because, well...you had to trade either King's soul-infused Blade for Nemesis or give Nemesis back for King's blade....I took the Blade because Mimiga kick ass.
I remember this place being a bit of pain in the ass in terms of being a pretty big difficulty spike, but when put into consideration that the next place after this is The Bloodstained sanctuary, this place is fuckin' *nothing!*
Just beat this game (forgot one small thing to unlock the secret boss and now I'm playing it again on a harder difficulty). Yeah, they don't give you enough time to get used to the booster 2.0, but let me tell you, you sure as hell get used to it in this cave. This place made me much better at platforming in this game. Didn't help I got the Spur instead of Machine Gun, too, so no flying for me. :( This fucking music, though. It never bothered me to die in this place because of it. Not looking forward to Bloodstained Sanctuary, though. D: Although the boss there looks fun as hell.
Saemyr Yeah, although as soon as you get used to it, the booster 2.0 is actually one of the best toys to mess around with in the game. Giving some pretty diverse ways to approach each fight. It also makes the 3 parted fight with the Doctor a complete joke (I actually find Misery the hardest part because of her disgusting 10 points of damage that she dishes out). In terms of a weapon that I go with, the Spur is a good choice for the best ending. However, the Snake is also pretty damn efficiant, dealing some decent damage & really comes in handy at the Bloodstained sanctuary for getting the jump on some enemies (in case you don't know, The Snake shoots through walls). I find that the Nemesis is good enough for damage on bosses if you decide to sacrifice the Spur (I either go Spur & King's blade or Snake & Nemesis for the best ending). Ballos is a pretty stimulating fight, but it's just ruined by the fact that you get no breaks in the Sanctuary. I would have so much more fun with that fight if it weren't for the pressure of having to do a brutally difficult level & *5 bosses* on one life. Even if they didn't want me to save, they could've had the decency to at least put a recharge station before Ballos to get me perked up & filled with missles. The life pot that Jenka gives me helps a ton, but I'd rather use that in the middle of the Ballos battle do to the fact that his final form is just an immense crapshoot in terms of not getting hit. At the very least, The bloodstained sanctuary is one of those places that get's *exponentially* easier on repeat plays. My second run for the best ending took me only 2 dedicated tries to get to Ballos' final form.
+AlluMan96 Heheh. Yeah, a year later and I still haven't gotten it finished completely. Ballos has never even graced my screen yet. xD Now that it's been a while, I think it's time to start it back up again. I miss all that beautiful music the most, tbh. Pretty crazy to think that the creator made his own music program to make the music for the game, lol. I know that George & Jonathan (also good music) use the same program. Pretty cool.
Before I beat the game for the first time, I talked to my friend about it. He told me about Hell and was like "Man, it's sooo hard." Later that day I got to this part and thought this was Hell... ...boy was I sooo wrong.
I know right? Granted my last playthrough wasn't so bad (despite it being my first time playing through on Normal difficulty), but obviously those crushers got me, as they had several times before.
I would always go an area on the left where there are no spikes, get the bubble launcher to level 3, and cheese it that way. Or use the circling stars to cheese it too
On the path to the true ending Me: My god, that was difficult. It can't get harder than that Game: Heyyyy do you wanna see some angels? Edit: guys stop liking this cringey comment I posted a month ago
lmfao, last cave (hidden) was really easy and if you are going for the best ending you probably took a guide because maaan I would've never thinked of leaving an old man alone would give him better survival chances than trying to help him. + saving curly is in the pain in the anal hole as well.
The biggest difficulty spike of the game hands down, I love this part. It's the original "Path of Pain". The sacred ground wasn't as hard as this area I feel. The sacred ground was more punishing than it was hard. The lack of save points proved it to be that way.
@Gregorio Bejarano Perea maybe if you suck balls at platformers then yeah sure... but if you aren't completely inept at video games (which you really shouldn't be considering that you've played basically the entire game up to this point AND did all of the side content to get the true ending) then you are immensely over-exaggerating the difficulty of sacred grounds, lol
I find it neat that the level changes based on what ending you're going for. The level design is aware of what you're currently capable of at the time. Got the Booster v2.0? Seems like you're in for a rougher time.
I'm doing a Polar Star only True ending run, and I needed around 2 hours just to beat this damn level, thank god the boss is easy. I'm currently stuck on second phase Doctor, by the way, I was so spoiled using Spur and Rockets in other runs that I didn't realise how much health he actually has.
I must have spent 30 tries to finally get through this part. It awakened something within me i didnt know i had and i better use that on any future project
I had to go through this cave 3 different times (the good ending version) first went through it normally, second time was cuz I wanted Nemesis, so I had to beat it in reverse, then I realized I didn’t actually want the Nemesis so I went through the cave again for the third time.
Heres a tip: when you get to those blocks that have fall down and insta kill you, damage yourself with the red hopping things or the blood/lava. The immunity will prevent the blocks from insta killing you for a period of time.
So yeah, I got the hang of it, beat it, blah blah... So the more important stuff is A. I cannot get past B2 for Hell B. I used the life pot right after the Muscle Doctor fight and had most of my life after Undead Core (I suck don't judge me ;-;) So yeah. I have to make it through hell with no Life Pot. Wish me luck.
Gonna be honest, I find this place more difficult than the Blood Stained Sanctuary, but that's because I've practiced the Sanctuary way more than this cave. :P
First playthrough, with booster 0.8 : Huh. This is easy Second playthrough, with booster 2.0 : Oh my God what the f this frickin layout!?!? All weapons become level 1 : Bruh didnt care. I have Nemesis and Spur
I like how this area changes based on what ending your going for, wish the music wasn't the same though... This track is good but a change would've been nice.
+Fire you mean the best ending or this level? because if hard isn't describing this then nothing does because hard is an overstatement compared to what is to come.
I didn’t know you could pick her up after she saves you by giving you the water shield :( Will have to do that for my second run ^^ At the 4 boss fights atm.

I abandoned my save file.
Why didn't you trade in the Polar Star for the Spur?
I didn't know that the Spur existed. And I didn't want the Snake. So I had the Polar Star.
It's literally the ultimate weapon of the game, just go back to the cave where you first got the gun and have it upgraded.

REAL NIGHTMARE
Actually, this sounds like something it was about to left out of the game, don't you think?
The critters here were more annoying than ever. 6 damage, my god...
Idea for I beat this level tbh this shot was one of the hardest
FUCK THIS PLACE. IM STILL STUCK ( and i didnt save curly. i didnt know you could )

Imagine this with 1.8 booster... wait I think when I was really young I actually did have the 1.8 booster and beat this 0-0
0.8
Agent Pluto wait rlly
The cave is different depending on which booster you have.
When, I first played the game, I was like holy crap now this is hard. Until I went to hell...
I backtracked though the hidden cave, boy, that was fun! (not really, it was painful.)
Final Cave on my Hell run was probably the worst five hours of my life.
To all of you who think this cave and the proceeding bosses are the end and the peak of the game's difficulty...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHahaha.ha..ha...haaaaaaaa
If the actual difficulty scale were listed, the game goes from fairly challenging to (for lack of a better way of describing it) Asian hard.
I pray for you if you have Booster v2.0
I really do
