[EricMahler]

I was messing around and found that when you enter the Konami Code (just the U U D D L R L R part) on the title screen it triggers a noise.
If you then start a new game you can enter passcodes at the beginning of the game.
Kinda neat!

I love this game.

Nope, already got that one :\


Do the items in a secret area count towards the item % for the area it was found in?

Pretty certain they do not. I already had map/item 100% in Indi and then still found a secret area there with two more items.

 

[NervousXtian]

This game is pretty awesome.

Yeah, definitely got that note then. I've been through the entire area several times over and not sure what I'm missing for the 100%.

That's strange considering the area is not that big. If you've smashed every rock in the room including those you

into, I would assume you would have found the note. As far as I remember.

Maybe someone else can help?

 

[Dan]

Yeah, definitely got that note then. I've been through the entire area several times over and not sure what I'm missing for the 100%.

I'm completely stumped on that area too. I must be missing something, but damned if I can figure out what or where it is. I'm stumped in Eribu, too. Must be missing at least one note somewhere but I definitely have all the ones marked on TapTap's map thus far.

I'm at 27 notes total.

FYI the E-KUR-MAH map is definitely missing something. I just trawled through it and I know I got everything on TapTap's map, still no yellow dot. If I figure out what it is, I'll let you know.

Here is what you are probably missing :

Very first room on top left of the map, a 2x4 room like this

Just teleport on a right wall really easy to get but somehow most people (like me) missed that and its not on sir's map

Big patch just hit, most importantly it fixes the distorted death noise--headphone users are safe now. Also fixed the lab coat glitch several people had...and the fun Shards glitch, surprised that one got axed honestly. Also fixed reflector's collision...it was so bad I assumed it was on purpose
BTW press start on a tile on the PS4 menu and you can see patch notes. I keep finding people who don't know this.

Weird, the drill is different now. The lasers now start converging instantly instead of coming straight at first then converging as they go. IT also pushes you back from walls slightly, probably the "drill goes through walls" fix in action.

I'm so impressed that only one guy made this game that I almost want to buy it to just support him.

This is a solid course of action, but do play it too...it really is fantastic. If nothing else you can buy the OST which is just as amazing

Dangit I was looking for places to enter the Konami code. I'll add that to the guide

Just teleport on a right wall really easy to get but somehow most people (like me) missed that and its not on sir's map

Going to add that. Actually most of what is missing is probably the most obvious because I started making the map AFTER beating the game, so it's mostly what I had left after 100%, and what I noticed when doing low%.

Someone named Thinaran just messaged me off the board to reveal this one, too, since his GAF account hasn't been approved yet. I just opened up the game and found it.

I added a couple more items to my map in Kur but they would have been obvious if you filled out the map so that's probably not it. For the most part you want to observe more than dash into every wall, but that can't hurt if you're really at a loss.

There's a block up high that you can glitch and then just stand on and angle shoot down and none of his stuff hits you. I think you have to lock yourself in place with L1 and then jump to continuously jump up and down. Once I figured that out, he was very easy.

After 13 hours in (and still not finished), I have to say how sad I am that this thread is so relatively light compared to many other OTs. Maybe it's because this released so close to Ori (which I haven't played since I don't have an XBO, but am looking forward to), but this game deserves to be a massive success. As much as it recreates elements of Metroid, there is so much originality here as well, that I find myself surprised by it at every turn. The world is massive and yet so well designed, every new ability organically leading to the next one without any hand holding or pandering. This game scratched an itch that hadn't really been scratched by any of the other misnamed "Metroidvanias" of the past few years.

]Will be very interested to youtube it sometime to see how speed runners deal with it.

This is gonna be a great speedrunning game, if the save and return option doesn't ruin it. Makes perfect sense in terms of not frustrating casual players, but it might ruin the flow of runs if it becomes necessary to use too much.

Tom Happ really the nailed the controls in this. Traversal is so godly at the end of the game with all the upgrades. You're zipping across the map in seconds and there's so many options that it's just begging for a speedrun. If anyone sees one, please post.

I don't wanna take anything away from Ori, it's a game that deserves support in its own right, but Axiom Verge is one of those that doesn't come around very often. It needs much more than the meagre attention it seems to have gotten so far.

Spoiler

You can always just spam the drone jump. Throw drone upwards, deploy drone, teleport to drone, press either glitch gun or drill to cancel the wait-timer for the next drone throw, throw the drone upwards again. Repeat.

The correct way must be jumping in the right side, glitching upwards, throw drone upwards and you should just be able to make it to the platform above. On top of that platform jump diagonally, glitch diagonally further upwards and throw the drone diagonally. You are just able to make it to the top spot of the map.

Okay I've got another "how the hell do I get out of here" question for Gaf to solve.

So I got into this secret world not long after the

hallucination trophy

boss fight, I'm in the same named area (forget what it's called) where I had to sort of circle around in it after the trippy effect wore off.

I went all the way down and got a range boost, now I can't seem to find my way out. I can phase through the wall on the left, and grapple up that 1x1 gap, but there's nothing else I can do. Help?

 

[MotionBlue]

I'm stuck at the moment. I just unlocked the P

Spoiler

asscode tool, and Remote Drone. I can't seem to back track too far since I need double jump to return to the first couple maps ><

I use REVEAL_SUDRAN on the passcode tool

 

[3rdamention]

There is a note, at the upper left most area in Kur... It's on a ledge, on the very upper left cliff on the map...


How do you reach that??? I have tried shooting my droid, jumping, using other unlocked tools, I can't get that high...

 

[scurker]

So I hate to do this, but I've probably spent the over an hour exploring Ukkin-na and I can't figure out what to do next.

Spoiler

Actually I finally figured it out, apparently I was missing the lab coat and had to backtrack a bit to find it.

 

[NotMyUsername]

So, I'm an idiot and found what was stumping me so much in Edin and thought I had everything. Turns out one room goes one square higher and I hadn't tried exploring. It's also one of the more unorthodox requirements for movement to find it.

And I found the one thing I had missing in Zi without using the map. I was going back through it and after passing a spot I turned back and decided it was worth checking the area again. I went into the invisible ceiling spot but even after poking around in the small space nothing was found but after a few more seconds I somehow hit it. It must have been in some corner that I jumped into or something. Really finnicky.

So all done. That's 100% of everything found/map. I'm not going to replay for a platinum. I'd rather just move on.

Was there anything different in the ending for 100%? Dialogue seemed the same, I skipped the next cutscene because I assumed, being the first cutscene it wouldn't change, I went past my stats, and then the scene after that seemed exactly the same from when I beat it at 90% or whatever it was when I first beat it.

 

[sonofasubmariner]

Okay, here comes my worst question concerning my 100% target. I am some number of health upgrades away from being fully 100%. Those health upgrades are in Absu. I've been to every single location of these on TapTap's map and I cannot tell which I have or haven't gotten. I'm slowly checking off the places that would be obvious locations but I was wondering if anyone here could confirm that they know of an Absu health upgrade that is difficult to obtain and which one it is. Not necessarily how to get it, just that it's hard to know it's there.

Because, you know, I'm trying to play like my map is from Super Metroid.

EDIT: NEVER MIND! As usual, posting is what led me to the correct answer.
