How do you quit a treasure hunt? I tried to select different missions and everything but it wouldn't let me. I just gave up and shut the game off without saving.

Pause, on the right there will be a window with a "retire" button.

Just finished that last night. Really enjoyed it, particularly given that I was expecting another multi part photo search.

I feel bad that Kat gets all these powers and Raven doesn't. Raven is mai waifu /annoying

See the key to stealth missions is to stasis and run.

Not really to your first question. Still the same mundane missions. Combat is much improved though.

As to your second question:

No love story that I'm aware of but I'm still on Episode 14.

Oh boy, I'm out. Thank you.

Have added a bunch of you guys on PSN. So, the best way to do this whole thing would be to get low scores on challenges and send it to friends, right? So that each one of us gets many easy to beat challenges that nets us 20 points each? Not sure if there's a better way (or if this would even work).

Shit I've been sending challenges from there to everyone. I didn't think about that.

 

[Draikin 2]

So what's the fastest way to get Dusty Tokens? Just keep sending out challenges, taking photos, and taking treasure photos?

Nearly 40 hours into the game, I'm still getting almost nothing from photos and sending out challenges (and I completed all of them with gold). Treasure photos is definitely where I got most of my Dusty Tokens so far, but I don't see how I'm going to manage to get 6000 of them...

Lunar Style is fucking amazing. I thought the combat was drastically improved over GR1 already but this takes it to a whole new level.

The long jumps are cool but they're kinda pointless when you can just shift. You shouldn't be able to shift in Lunar style. What's the point of jumping?

 

[Toki767]

Yeah I get talismans from mining, but what about the side missions? I did a few and they don't seem to earn me anything. I do like the unique gameplay scenarios they pose, just wondering.

You get gestures, talismans, furniture, and experience to level up (more health and gravity energy) from side missions.

We need to do this. I can add that one of the best way to contribute too would just to send a challenge to your friend's list, either you have a good or bad score, like even if you're mad that someone beat you, send that score instead of quitting.

This game takes so long to beat lol, I love it. I keep getting distracted by everything.

can anyone tell me what the heck Neu Hiraleon is? Is it another city? Was it part of Hekseville? Why did Kat and Raven come to it?

Watch the overture animation if you didn't already. Especially Part B... and the credits.

Sometimes you're in positions where you can't shift gravity though...

It is useful in some of the lunar-exlusive challenge races.

I think the game totally just stole the waitress costume from me. I did the quest, she asked if she could keep it, the game changed it and it's not in the list.

It was even better than the worker one ;;

[Shift Breaker]

Alright, this Chapter III escort mission, it's hell. It's terrible. Turn left? Police. Stick to the ground? Police. Jump across the buildings? Police. It's frustrating, it's mandatory, I hate it.

Some terrible sidequests and camera issues also plague this game, but beyond that it's an utter joy. Traversal is so good, it pretty much makes up for the rest of the flaws.

But this mission. Damn.

It's awful.

You get it after you complete the second quest for the same store.

You mean the one where you need to stack the furniture? I found the challenge to be a lot easier than the actual mission, although I guess I may have gotten used to it. You definitely want to use Lunar style here to jump into the back of the truck rather than using gravity shifting. It makes things a lot easier.

Ahhh. I see, thanks!

I mean, there's not really much to explain, but it does get elaborated on.
All you're meant to be aware of now is that there was a facility where kidnapped orphans were being taken to, and when the guards found Kat and Raven snooping around they kicked up a stink and caused the gravity storm in the process which resulted in Kat and Syd ending up in the Banga settlement.

Wow this frisbee tossing quest is just complete ass.

You can do all of them whenever and can even replay any mission you've already completed as well.
