That's quite the weird bug you found. I'd recommend discussing it in our Discord server to see if there might be something wrong.

Where is the shop in question? I need some more as well.

It's in the same house as the elder in Seaside Town. Just go upstairs.

Just make sure you're in post-game.

Armor can still be bought at shops, just not all of them like in vanilla.

Most powerful spells in the game are learned from doing optional stuff in post-game.

Hope this helps!

What's in each stump almost seems to change now and then. They're kinda bugged.

Hello, I'm new around the forums, but am not at all new to Armageddon. Not really sure where to ask this, but I figured this would be the best place. I saw somewhere that there was mentions of a version 9.1 with a hard mode planned, and was wondering if that has since been canned seeing as it has been over 3 years now. Can anyone confirm this?

Slowly being worked on by busy devs.

Don't you worry, any and all bugs you may or may not find have likely already been dealt with for 9.1.

Speaking of 9.1, it's coming out at some point, get hype!

To also stay on topic, I myself was thinking of making some guides for 9.1, and would love to see some examples on how to make them as helpful as possible. Seeing you make some for 9.0 could really help me with that.

Sorry if I'm being a bit hard to understand, making a proper sentence was never my strong suit.

Btw, you are indeed playing normal mode, but as there aren't that many obvious differences between the first public patch and the newer one, your best bet would probably be to go to the downloads section and getting normal mode from there. If this is how you got the patch in the first place, then you already have the right one, but if you got in from one of the topics here, then you'll definitely want to switch.

The biggest and most obvious difference would be Rosalina's difficulty. She's a complete pushover in the old patch and a superbuffed maniac in the updated one.

Once again, if some parts are hard to understand or if I sound mean in any way, I'm sorry.

It could be that initial normal mode patch, the one from before Rosalina was superbuffed

Have you tried content mode?

I have Discord, confuses the shit out of me because I hardly use it lol.  What channel is he on?  Thanks

Just press on the chat icon next to forums on the top of the page, that'll take you to NGPlus' Discord server, from there DK can be found in the members list under the "modders" section.

Could someone point me in the right direction on where to find older versions?  Specifically v2?  Thanks

No version earlier than v4.9 is currently out in the wild.

If you have Discord, you could try DMing Darkkefka asking if he's got it stored somewhere. If you don't have Discord, then I would suggest sending him a PM here on NGPlus.

Thank you for your help!

That may have been true. To test, I just tried re-patching the game on a fresh rom and all the problems I described above went away, including the one in the other topic I posted.

And I'm using Snes9x.

Edit:

Also, at the beginning of the game Rosalina said it's now possible to block spells but I haven't been able to do so. Maybe my timing is off. How do I block spells and what does the timing have to be like? Am I supposed to block right before the spell hits my character, or am I supposed to wait until right after it hits and before it shows how much damage was done?

Thanks!

I'm glad you were able to fix your problems!

The timing to block spells is generally right before the damage shows up/when the animation fades.

Hi!

First I want to show my appreciation and thank the creators of this mod for a job exceptionally well done. I have been using Armaggedon since v8 and your passion and dedication towards the project is really incredible. Thank you so much!

Unfortunately, yesterday when I launched v9 (normal mode) for the first time, I realized that blocking is not working - at bowser's keep in the very beginning, and before you get to mushroom kingdom (right after mario's pad - i think it's called mushroom way). That's as far as I got so far. I'm certain my timing is right, but the game seems to not be allowing me to block. Is anyone else having this problem? And is there something I can do on my end to fix it? Or do I need to wait for a bug fix from the developers?

Thanks!

Did you patch v9 on the same rom that you were using to play v8? If you did, that's the source of all your problems

Edit: Also, what emulator are you using?

Firstly, having an absolute blast with this mod. 

I'm wondering mainly how to farm golden dragons to obtain a diamond mail. I know, from reading some posts here, that much of the high end stuff is locked after you beat Smithy, but aside from trying to acquire the Lazy Shell, I wouldn't mind throwing Diamond Mail on a party member because I am getting wrecked in Nimbus Land currently. Just wondering if it's possible to encounter golden dragons prior to beating Smithy? If not, any tips that may push me along a bit? I tried fighting one of those black shy guys, and Luigi was bang on, I got absolutely annihilated by the one in Kero Sewers... I was just curious as to what fighting him was like. When I hit him and it did 40 points of damage, I knew I had made a terrible mistake.

The Dragons have been replaced by Tonberries in v9, and are locked behind Smithy. Basically, everything that's not Mario related (except Cactuars in Land's End) are locked behind Smithy.

Hi friends,

I'm having a bitch of a time fighting these two in Nimbus Land. Does anyone have any pointers? I feel like the thing that kills me in the fight is Valentina's white hole attack and the fact that both Dodo and Valentina collectively have like 5 turns for attacks each round. I am using Bowser, Peach, and Mario and all are around level 62. Am I missing something? Is it possible to block the White Hole attack?

 

Thanks!

Since White Hole is a holy elemental attack, I would strongly recommend trying to equip something that resists holy, such as light rings or light shields. The rings can be found in Moleville (the little girl sells them for frog coins) and the shields can be found in the accessory shop in Seaside Town. The shields are generally better as they give better stats and give a 1/4 resistance compared to the rings that only give 1/2 resistance.

That worked, can manage 1st timed hit now. I take it 2nd timing is still right before damage appears or is it during the blue flash?

There is no 2nd timing. The only things that always have 2 timings are weapons. Specials mostly retain their vanilla properties.

Sorry if this is in the wrong area or if I missed the tutorial/patch notes, but I'm having a bit of trouble getting with Geno's magic timing. Am I supposed to be holding for power then release and tap Y for more damage or am I supposed to hold until damage shows up for the second timing.

 

Right now it just seems to do damage and that's it so I can't even tell if I'm getting the first timing down or not.

Assuming you're having trouble with the attacks that have 3 stars appear, you need to start holding Y once the message pops up and then release Y as soon as the third star appears.

Hello there, i've being enjoying a lot this hack rom, but, i have a question, my Bowser its already at lvl 94 and stills with only his first special, and, i saw someone saying that some specials u can acquire via, bosses and sidequests, and i wanted to know, where can i get Bowser's specials, i would really appreciate it

The first you'll likely encounter is when you go back to Bowser's Keep after beating it once. Magikoopa will challenge Bowser to a solo battle, and after you beat him, you can go to him for a set of 3 magikoopa type specials for Bowser.

oof i did invest 95% of my levels on HP i think i might have to reset

No need to restart the game, if that's what you mean. Once all your characters reach max level, you can talk to Rosalina and be able to redo your level ups.

i already beaten smithy but it doesnt look like investing 99% of the bonus points om HP was worth it

Assuming you're playing v9.0, I recommend never leveling HP. The rest is up to you.

So I just did the entire FF Boss Rush and Terra straight up wiped my entire party in one turn after never killing any of them prior. I'd hate to have to go through all of that boss rush again, so any tips or ideas?

There's only 2 thing that helps here unless you somehow figure out how the fight works without the use of the lazy shell editor: the first is to save state in the menu before fighting Terra.

The second is the 100% legit and safe way. Dedicate 1 of your party members to defend every single turn.

What I can tell you about the attack without giving away how it works is that it will always be used as the first attack when you get to phase 2. Because of this I'd recommend making sure that you always have the last character that gets a turn the defending duty. This way, if Terra goes into phase 2 before the turn ends, you can still keep 1 character alive.

IMPORTANT NOTE: NEVER EVER damage Terra with your 3rd character unless you are 100% sure that she won't use Riot Blade.

I started playing Armageddon V9 on my homebrewed Nintendo Switch, on Retroarch, which uses SNES9x 1.52.4   

 

It seems to be working smoothly! Everything seems to be working. But I still wanna ask if this might cause any issues? It'd suck to encounter a bug super far into the playthrough, so I'm asking if this version of the emulator will have any potential bugs?

 

 

If you DO notice any bugs, try to use pSNES as your emulator instead. It uses a much more recent version of snes9x (don't think it's current version because pSNES hasn't been updated in a while)

I used to play many versions of Armageddon on pSNES and everything worked perfectly.

How do I take them down most easily (in Content Mode)? Can their song attack be blocked, and I just haven't figured out the timing?

The easiest way to take one down, assuming you've recruited Peach, is to go to the door behind the mushroom kingdom shop and getting 5 maragidynes. They won't kill the amazy dayzee, but they'll cause it to run away, which is enough for a chance to get a golden flower from them.

There is a timing to their attack, but you probably won't be able to survive it until you have the gear to take them out without the strat I mentioned.

By no means! Though, what way did you find for farming coins? iirc Red gives 100 g-coins or something to that effect?

I farm frog coins by fighting Jinx over and over and I farm Galaxy coins by fighting The Master over and over.

I like farming Loudre off of Larxene. Iirc they sell for 7500 a pop (as a plus, she's right by Seaside Town where you can buy Gold Bars), plus she drops one of the endgame reusable items? I don't remember if it's Hyper M. Guard or Final Elixir or or the third one. Maybe I'm misremembering, it was so long ago. ^ w ^;

That may be a very good way to farm normal coins, but when you're in postgame, you'll most likely want galaxy and/or frog coins which have faster ways to be farmed.

Hope I don't sound like a jerk btw, not my intent by any means.
