Been pacing myself out quite a bit for this game. Just got to day 5 this morning.

Been pacing myself out quite a bit for this game. Just got to day 5 this morning.

You're on a good pace then. As I said before, this week's playthrough is a little shorter and includes the optional Warehouse.

[GrayGhost81]

Just finished the game. I know, naughty boy. That's one of the perks of being a playthrough committee guy.

I'm not going to say anything about what's beyond the checkpoint for now.

I will leave this tip behind:

Spoiler (hover to show)

You will eventually get a spell called Liberate. Use it in boss battles. It is your friend...in a game-breaking way. Game-breaking almost to a point where all this talk about endgame weapons and armor and whatnot almost becomes moot.

I'll write more about this later in the month, but I just want to say I absolutely adored every minute of this game, and I'm so glad the community chose it and that I was able to visit the retro side of the fence to check out this masterpiece. Talk to ya'll later, enjoy the rest of the game!

Got it saved at the start of Day 3 now. The park was really creepy, really reminded me of Silent Hill with all the grey. I'm at level 14 right now Fleach so I'll see how this day goes since I'm at about the same level as yourself.

Glad you enjoyed the game GrayGhost. I think it's a pretty tough title to put down. I agree with your "spoiler" message and this will be something good to talk about later.

Nice work Crabby! Hope you are still enjoying it.

I've been wondering, is anybody else using all of their BP on Active Time?

Yes, I am. I just started Day 4 and I don't have any problem with my inventory. I chuck all my Medicines and Cure P's, etc. and all my Junk goes to storage.

I haven't upgraded or modded too much of my stuff as I haven't had any trouble fighting since I died in Day 1. I'm assuming the Junk Gun is either hard to find or you need a lot of Junk and Tools and Mod Permits to get it, so I'm saving all that stuff just in case.

I've only found 1 Normal Trading Card and 0 Rare Trading Cards. Maybe it's coming up, maybe I missed some, just putting it out there.

I have a two questions that I'll hide here

Spoiler (hover to show)

1 - In Day 3 a dying cop gave me his locker key. I'm not sure if I found his stuff. The only thing I can think of is there was this room on the 3rd floor and there was a small door in a storage room that led to an armor (can't think of what it was called, but it had the highest defense so far). Did I find his locker/stuff? 2 - Maeda has given me 2 charms. What do they do?

Well I know the first one:

That locker key is for a locker in the locker room, far end of the room, opposite the door. You'll get a trading card that you can give to Wayne eventually.

As for the second question, I would also like to know the answer to that one.

[singlebanana]

In answer to your questions Mr. Greenwood...

Spoiler (hover to show)

The storage key opens the storage room at the end of the hall on the same floor as the weapons shop at the police station. The locker key opens a locker in the locker room on the main floor near the offices. It has a Trading Card in it, which it sounds like you probably found that. You should find more cards on Day 4. I'm not sure what the charms Maeda gives you do, but I put them in storage, except the last one I got Najirita(?) or something like that. I know that he gives you something special later in the Museum on Day 5, but not sure you have to have the charm to get it or not. Also I think rare trading cards are only on the second playthrough.

[Disposed Hero]

In response to question number two...

Spoiler (hover to show)

I've read that the charms do absolutely nothing except take up inventory space

[singlebanana]

Good to know Disposed. I'm sure you're probably right, though that is rather unfortunate....... sad panda

[Shadow Kisuragi]

Yay for gameplay discussion and using the spoiler tags.

[MaterialHandlerMike]

Damn Warehouse Boss! Going to come back to him after grinding out a bit at the museum.

Spoiler tag on page 7 with a strategy if you need it Mike. Good luck!

[techwizard]

i think the charms are just there to hint at a love interest that Maeda has for Aya.

finally caught up to the end of the week 2 checkpoint, now onto week 3! should have that done tomorrow.

it just keeps getting better, i'm really happy i'm playing through this one finally. getting way more use out of the PE powers now (before i mostly just used the weapons). that hospital boss on the roof was really annoying though, i died once on it because i was unprepared, and the second time because i didn't know what to do during the cutscene that followed. what a stupid death that was, i looked up a walkthrough after the next attempt because i didn't want to go through it all over again over something that should have been so simple, they really don't give you a lot of time to explore at that point.
