• 20:00, 28 April 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Wizards & Warriors (Created page with "* Save often in safe spaces and I'd keep multiple saves. * Some PCs have items you can trade for if you talk to them and ask Trade. You can also sell them items, and you can also steal those items if you have a character with high enough Pickpocket skill. This can be abused for certain quests such as one where you give a vampire a scroll and she will give you a key or ring. The ring is really good so after giving her the scroll, save and then steal the scroll back. Once...")
• 08:13, 19 April 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Meet Your Maker (Created page with "* Aside from the tutorial, every outpost in the game is made by another player. As such, some people prefer using guards exclusively, while others traps, and the rest have a balance of both. Go in with the mentality of "What would I do if I was building this place?" and dying will happen less often. Sometimes, though, you will get outfoxed in a really devious way. No one's perfect, after all. * You only have one hit to live. If you die at all, you start at the beginning...")

• 08:06, 19 April 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Mega Man Battle Network (Created page with "* Save all the time, these are GBA games from the early 00s, there's no autosave and a single bad fight will kick you back to the title screen. * The first thing you should do is start slimming down your folder so you can try to have 4-5 chips in your hand every turn. A 2 code folder is ideal, 3 codes is useable, 4 codes and beyond will make it likely that you'll go into a turn with one chip in your hand. * If you're going for 100% chip collection (required for certain...")
• 08:06, 19 April 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Mega Man Battle Network 4 (Created page with "* MMBN 4 is not only easily the worst game in the franchise, but also one of the worst games on the GBA. And getting everything - even for just one version of the game - requires beating it three times. So if you're not feeling it, skip it. Category:Games")
• 08:06, 19 April 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Mega Man Battle Network 3 (Created page with "* This game has S+ and S++ busting ranks in virus fights if you're in Custom Style. S+ has the point requirement of S, but you're not allowed to use your buster, charge shot, or navi chips. S++ has the same restrictions but you also can't reopen the custom screen. * MMBN 3:Blue has better unique chips than MMBN 3:White. Category:Games")

• 13:18, 10 April 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page DREDGE (Created page with "* The one resource you are going to be short on is research parts. You will not get enough naturally to max out your research, so you should decide what researches to get. Here are my recommendations for each research tab: * Engines: You get two distinct paths. I recommend the top path that ends immediately with the 1x1 size Jet Drive Engine and buying a bunch of those. They are almost as fast as the final tiers of the bottom path and save you a lot of research parts. A...")
• 13:16, 10 April 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Disciples: Liberation (Created page with "* Companions can leave you if you piss them off sufficiently or make certain choices in their quests. * Reputation with the four factions is important because it unlocks higher tiers of their units. It's generally a good idea to focus on one or two factions at maximum. * That being said, apparently it's possible to go through the game without joining forces with anyone and the story accomodates for that; you also get a good amount of units from quests. * Some quests w...")
• 13:49, 5 April 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Hot Wheels Unleashed (Created page with "* All vehicles have stats that must be paid attention to. These are Speed, Braking Power, Acceleration, and Handling. These are pretty self-explanatory and I imagine most reading this have played a racing game before, but the tracks in this game tend to have a lot of turns to facilitate drifting in order to acquire boost, so speed isn't the most important thing all the time. All stats are measured from 1 pip to 6. * There are also two different types of boost to use. Ch...")
• 18:13, 3 April 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Resident Evil 4 (Remake) (Created page with "* The gatcha game in the shooting gallery is on a fixed seed. If you reload your save then you are going to get the same thing if you put in the same combinations. * Attache case bonuses seem to spawn more items rather than replace them. The gold case will turn money drops into $1500 rather than (I suspect) $500 with a special icon that shows that it is doing it. For your first run the handgun ammo one will probably be the best, although you can get enough spare parts t...")

Not the goats, though. * This game has recycled the maps from the first game, making them into a single seamless overworld. You will also go to other areas, and it's there where you'll make a lot of advances and find new materials. == Item Synthesis == * As usual, item Quality is king, affecting the power of the healing and damage items you create. Traits are also important, but try not to neglect quality. * Th...")
• 06:40, 27 March 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Action SuperCross (Created page with "* Keeping traction with the road is how you gain speed, so don't approach jumps with too much speed, but rater make sure that you continue downhill in such way that your rear wheel touches the downhill slope as early as possible. * To keep traction on the straight line, you have to speed up more gradually than by applying full throttle. Normally, it's enough to hit the acceleration, then release it for a brief moment and then press it again. Then your front wheel shall...")
• 06:39, 27 March 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Roguelight (Created page with "* To light a pass in the darkness as you walk along, press and hold the "shoot" key. It will cause your character to knock a lit arrow and hold it in the bow until you release the key to shoot. Category:Games")
• 16:01, 25 March 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Contraband Police (Created page with "* The game will give you a pistol for free before you need one, so there's no need to buy it with your limited early-game funds. * You get more money the more complete your inspection is, particularly if somebody's got several reasons to be refused * You can transfer items directly from your warehouse to your vehicle by clicking the little car icon in the top left of the warehouse interface * The starting vehicle is good enough to last you through the whole game if yo...")

Especially at the start the first skill tree you have to spend a lot of pills to get to increased health, and it's not really worth it. * Minor skill tree spoilers: <div class="spoiler">Silencers are OP and should be gotten immediately, melee upgrades are really good, any skills that you craft new stuff are good because you can spend more materials.</div> * Clickers are way better at spotting you than in th...")

• 14:38, 12 March 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Metroid Prime: Trilogy (Created page with "* The difficulty levels are somewhat mislabeled (although the game does not highlight any of them by default). "Normal" is easier than the original games, "Veteran" is equal to "Normal" in the original games, and the unlockable "Hypermode" is equal to the hard modes in Metroid Prime 1 and 2, and 3's hard mode was originally called Hypermode anyway, so no change there.

• 18:54, 8 March 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty (Created page with "* If you have some familiarity with Nioh 1 and/or 2, you'll probably recall that blocking was fairly strong there. The same applies here, but because Spirit takes place of Stamina in those games, you have to be more careful since if you hit -1000 Spirit, any hit at all whatsoever will immediately knock you down and you will probably die depending on the circumstances. * You can perform a deflect out of a block, so if a combo is too tough to figure out, just find a blow...")

Make sure to check the chapel when that happens. it's not missable, but it's rare enough that if you don't realize you should be going back there it could be real annoying. * Opened chests will refresh and let you open them again, usually 1 or 2 a day. Chests you can open are highlighted on the map so you never need to go manually look for them. * Eventua...")

As an Atom agent, you're basically special military, so you build accordingly. * All combat skills are viable, but sniper is arguably the strongest.

It's the game adjusting your difficulty down. There's easy ways to change the difficulty later in the game. * Headshots and exploiting the enemy AI with corners and doors are king strats. Headshots with the silenced pistol are even kinglier since it won't alert other enemies. * One of the best imp...")
• 15:42, 14 February 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Perfect Dark (Created page with "* When you can, use the CMP150's secondary function, which is that it auto targets enemies. Your manual aiming reticle has to have pointed at them at one point, but after that, it'll follow them until they're dead. * This might be obvious, but make sure auto aim is on in the options. The game is 23 years old and isn't really like games nowadays; go ahead and auto-aim the hell out of it all. * Playing the combat simulator a bunch will prepare you for pretty much anythi...")
• 10:49, 22 January 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Fire Emblem Engage (Created page with "* There is a "point of no return" where you go to a church and the game lets you know you will be in for a series of battles. These battles all have the same squad you pick for the first one, and they are a big difficulty spike. Consider doing a little bit of side content before - the second battle of this series has a couple of level 17 people and a level 1 pre-promote join you, so you might want to aim for your main squad to be at around 15-16, which it probably will n...")

Movement is super important and a bad move can send you into a pit or cornered with enemies chopping you to bits. Make sure you have it clear in your mind which keys are for strafe and which are for turning. * Choosing your Exo Rig is important and you are stuck with that choice for the rest of the game.

An example of this would be pouring wine, which raises their hand slower but gives you more time overall. * Depending on the level your goal can be accomplished in a single hand if you can bet the opponent's entire purse on one throw.

For example, I have 4 levels of Swordmage on my dedicated Mage so I can equip heavy armor and still cast spells.
