The last %4 in Dracula X
« on: October 10, 2009, 09:38:08 PM »
OK, I'm stuck at %96. This happens to me every time I go through this game (many). I have all the girls, access to every stage, and have killed all the bosses at least once. Any idea what I might be missing?

It's probably just alternates exits. Did you:

-leap off the walkway with the blue sky that later turns to a sunset (2'?), landing on a small ledge where the boatman takes you back towards the beginning while you dodge fishmen?

-uncover the giant bomb in a wall, ignite it and follow the new path through to the end?

-just after the imp-like guy tries to swipe your item, there is a scale that you need to stand on and knock a boulder loose to fling you up to a hidden exit.

-I think it's the same stage where Medusa heads can knock you down around spinning platforms into an alternate route.

-I think it's stage 5' that has two main routes, one leads downstairs and the other either up or straight.

-I don't know if the game counts the multiple routes to the same exit, but the stage with the red skeletons(?) there is a trigger for one shortcut and another optional area with slow rolling boulders/balls and a pulley with a big buy tossing the balls.

It's definitely unnecessary to get the last 4% as I juste discovered this bomb a few years ago but still, I could clear the game 100% before that ;)

That's it! I didn't do that this time through. Hopefully its the last %4.

I'm at %100 now and it turns out that this was it. I'm pretty sure I never even went through this stage this time through.

Congratulations. Now see if you can unlock the Parodius characters in the second loop.
