I'm at a wall in the endgame content of Armageddon V.8. I can't find the remaining Pokemon which I assume is needed to fight May and Dawn. I think I'm missing Mesprit, Latias, Latios - maybe a few more I'm unaware of. I've captured Celebi, to which I actually made a Youtube Tutorial on. I Plan on making an entire youtube tutorial section of this game once v.9 comes out - maybe even on v.8
You can find the lake guardians in the forest maze ("treasure" stump), tadpole pond (east), and bandit's way (at the very end). I don't remember which is which, though.
For Latias and Latios, they work on the same counter as Celebi. However, they appear every 30 instead of just on 255. Also, you can find them in a variety of places, including Rose Way.
I'd like to submit a an idea for change to v.9 - it's subtle. I was able to get level 100 in about 1 hour or less before facing Booster by abusing something in the game. I know it's really not that big of a deal, but it's definitely broken. Who would I message about this?
You can just say it here. I'll discuss it with DK if it's an issue.
I made a video instead to explain it.
The Pokemon I was missing was at bandits way - Thank you!... But where does he run off to? Haha
Never mind - found his ass in the Ice Cave
I was wondering when you mentioned Booster's Tower if you were referring to the bob-ombs...
You can do that with any number of enemies in a variety of places, although the bob-ombs self destructing does help. I'll mention it to DK, but I don't think it's an issue.
Basically, you can level as much as you want (up to 100 of course) if you're really having trouble with something. This is on purpose, and easy and hard mode of v9 will work similarly. The only way to prevent the player from doing some variation of what you did would be to somehow cap the player's level in each area.
Does that explanation make sense?
I was going to suggest dropping their EXP to zero gained. Its just much quicker there because they suicide and they're conveniently located for repeating the encounters, but yea, I didn't think about trying it anywheres else. This is my first play through of Armageddon so I'm still learning everything. This game is AMAZING. I am pretty close to completing it though - I believe.
Glad you're enjoying it!
You're playing hard mode, right? Things are about to get a lot "harder" for you...
P.S.: There's a discord (link's up top) for smrpga and ng+ in general.
Yes, I'm playing hard mode and am well aware of the INSANE difficulty. I'm wondering if people are actually beating these insane bosses without save states - and if so, I'd love to see them beat the 21st boss on the boss rush - the 3 dark daisy's...
Also, is there some kind of pre requisite for finding Latias Latios? I've encountered so many hidden daisy and they never appear...
I actually made videos for the final bosses of v8 hard without save states. Just search for "VS Xion" and such. You have two options with the Dark Daisies: burst them down before they attack, or use invincibility.

Did you talk to May?
If that's not the issue, do keep in mind that entering an area with a hidden monster will increment the counter as well. Also, you can't just load a save state after getting a daisy, you need to run away and try again.
Yea I've watched those videos haha I didn't know that was you! How the fuck did you beat Xion without save states.... And the dark daisy you actually beat with Attacks? I just figured out my Ultima Weapon hits for about 15k Damage , that shocked me.. but I still haven't figured out how to get his better weapons..
May just says good luck on your search...
2 minutes ago, Fein-Life said:How the fuck did you beat Xion without save states....
Blood, sweat, and a lot of blocking.
The better question is how I kept my sanity without using fast forward through all that...

Ultima, Dark Star, and Meteor all hit for 20k+. Ultima Weapon is Mario's best weapon until after you beat boss rush.
I'm straight up addicted to fast forward and save states... it's painful having to play the game now hahaha. Well, holy shit good job man... I didn't want to believe your videos were legit actually.. But I do now.. Wow..
I really feel like I'm stuck in the game with a wall.. I got to Rosalina but didn't bother facing her because I used my Found illusion on Exor..

You can get additional Found Illusions in the Sunken Ship with Rin Kagemine, Lin Kagemine, and Luka Megurine. Beyond that, you can defeat Larxene to get infinite Found Illusions.
In case you're not aware:
Yes, I've seen that topic - thoroughly 
Half the pages are down so, regarding hidden pokemons, there is no information. Apparently Dawn said there's 4 strong Pokemon hidden out there .. but no idea where. After I beat the Pokemon in the volcano, it said another one appeared somewhere, any ideas?
and outside of latias, latios, what other Pokemon are there? I'm asking specifically to the difficult ones - not the obvious easy to find ones.
Also, where do you get the Lazy shell weapon?
All four of the pokemon Dawn is referring to can be found in Nimbus Land. Since you already have Celebi, Latias and Latios are the only others you're missing.
9 minutes ago, Fein-Life said:Also, where do you get the Lazy shell weapon?
You don't. The Ultima Weapon is Mario's strongest weapon except for the weapon you get for beating boss rush.
Ummmm.... Does Terra Die? I've been fighting her for 8 hours and I'm starting to think something is wrong... lol. I gotta be close yeah??

Every time Riot Blade gets used, Terra heals a life. If you didn't know, a life is 30,000 HP.
well she's used it a fuck ton... how many lives does she have??
I believe her max lives are 10.
By the way, Crystal Stars also heals a life. Max lives for THAT fight is 10.
Crystal Stars is used in the Terra fight or Rosalina?
I've definitely taken 10 lives off of terra and she just keeps on KEEPING ON........ this is insane..
1 minute ago, Fein-Life said:Crystal Stars is used in the Terra fight or Rosalina?
The latter.
1 minute ago, Fein-Life said:I've definitely taken 10 lives off of terra and she just keeps on KEEPING ON........ this is insane..
Like I said, one life is restored every time Terra uses Riot Blade, up to the maximum of 10.
oh wow! so basically she has 20 lives?
No, she has 10 lives. However, if you don't defeat her fast enough, she'll heal them back indefinitely.
This is such bullshit... I'm still fighting her and idk if I should give up or not.. Riot Blade happens at damage thresholds so it's going to happen a set number of times. I'm hitting with Ultima and Darkstar for good damage as much as possible.
What setup did you use ? The only problem I run into is Peach dies after riot blade overtime.. and Mario will die after Tsunami or whatever its called if he doesn't block or have the invincibility..
Do you have a video of beating her hardmode and do you have a gear set recommendation?

You can always use Celebi to keep Peach invincible for a little while. Schala's Ring is very useful for this as well.
I don't have a video for beating Terra, since I didn't feel she was that hard compared to the others.
Just beat Magus to get the Schala Ring.
What does it do exactly and what the hell does the Nova Armor do?
And, while we're at it, whats the Super Suit and Brave Suit do? anything special? I'm noticing certain armors have hidden properties..
Schala's Ring gives one character invincibility. On the 10th use, it gives everyone invincibility and disappears forever. You can't get it back due to a bug.
Nova Armor is the male counterpart to the Rainbow Robe.
Super Suit and Brave Suit don't matter to you at this point. Every point of defense makes a massive difference.
Have you beaten May and Dawn? You'll want their rewards before doing the FF boss rush...
Yes, I beat them earlier, then I beat the 3rd trainer and got the kerocolas... Then I picked up two more Found illusions... The Soul Dew is BROKEN amazing btw.
I'mm just trying to find the best gear for Mario Right now.. I've been rocking the Lazy Shell and Adamantite..
Crystal Rings are probably the way to go. They provide the status protection while Lazy Shell/Nova Armor/Rainbow Robe protect against the elements.
ok, so my characters are complete, but I'm struggling with Rosalina. I beat the piss out of Terra Now, I farmed 3 crystal rings (Although I'm only using 2 because Soul Dew is so busted).
2 questions -
1.) Is there a specific turn counter needed to beat Rosalina - in other words, how do you make her use Crystal Stars while the Starfish things are gone, because she tends to use it when the starfish reappear, and theres no way to survive it, even with 240 defense.
2.)Why did you use a speed Bracer on Mario over a crystal ring?
A lot of bosses use certain attacks after a set number of turns. Rosalina is no exception.
I used speed bracer on Mario because it maximized my chances of success.
Just beat Rosalina.. She was a joke once I went back with a speed ring and ultra shakes.
Next is getting the Galaxy Gear, any suggestions on best way to farm money or galaxy coins?
Also, whats the point in galaxy gear if the game is over and is there any item that allows mistake blocks vs Xion?
Considering Rosalina is entirely strategy, and you saw exactly how to do it, it's not surprising you were able to win. She is the hardest boss., though, so grats all the same. 
Galaxy items, specifically Galaxy Rings, will help you survive Xion. I farmed coins using the Master.
I appreciate your help because you are the reason I was able to complete this game to this stage. Xion is up to me I shall farm all the galaxy gear tonight.
Thank you again for so much help.
Good luck! No amount of strategy will save you from Xion if you can't block her attacks...
And you're welcome
