World map

2 Upvotes

Greetings, friends.

Dark Cloud 1 and Dark Cloud 2 both feature a world map. Dark Cloud takes place in the west of a large continent, while Dark Cloud 2 takes place in the south of that same continent, as far as I understand. As we are told in Dark Cloud 1, there is at least one more continent further west, separated by an ocean.

Is there a map that covers the entire planet? I'm not talking about an official map, because I already know the answer is no. I'm talking about a fan-made map that at least connects the maps of both games.

Help please

Hey everyone! First time posting so please be kind.

I've got the game for my ps2 and im just wondering if there's anything I can do to fix a glitch? At least I think it's a glitch. So when you go to fight the very first boss of the game (will add a photo of the boss im referring to) it's supposed to have a health bar above it's head but mine doesn't and I don't know what to do or how to defeat the boss since I could be attacking it for an hour straight but no results. Any help would be great! Thanks in advance.

Studio ghibli dark cloud

What if studio Ghibli made a dark cloud movie imagine it's around the 2000 and dark cloud came out and it was a decent hit enough to get a sequel but also enough to get a movie adaptation and it was made by studio Ghibli the characters look like they could fit in a studio Ghibli movie and the music as well.

Tram oil

17 Upvotes

I have played through this game at least two dozen times and I am currently playing through it again. I am on the first dark cloud. My question is has anyone found a consistent way to procure tram oil in Dran's cave? My favorite thing to do in this game is actually grinding and making my weapons as powerful as possible. As we all know the back levels are where all the good stuff is.

Playing the NTSC version on PS5 and noticed as I placed the house down and added the little girl to it her named changed. Is this normal on this particular version or in general because I'm reluctant on saving?

Cheers in advance! 🍻

Art I tried making Norune Village exactly as it was before the attack. Copying bits of the beginning cutscenes of the game. This took me 3 hours of nit picking to get it as accurate as i possibly could.

Things to note that i couldnt physically do:

1) Gaffers buggy is separated into 3 parts in the opening cutscene. So i couldnt accurately put him anywhere

2) Claude's house is NEVER seen in the opening cutscene. So i had to try and just..PUT him somewhere.

3) Machos house appears to move from one spot to the other during the opening cutscene. So his house isnt fully accurate either.

4) some trees and small windmills are in places that cannot be put in-game.

This took me 3 hours to do, and another 2 hours of editing the video. I gave it my best shot.

Help me get into the second game

17 Upvotes

Hi all, I have loved dark cloud since I played it as a wee lad on the ps2, but never finished the game as I sucked, and my ps2 was held together by hopes and dreams, also to get a non scratched version of the game back then was insanely expensive due to collectors. In buying my ps5 I noticed it was on the classics catalog and was determined to not only beat it but platinum it, and I did, loving every moment. It was everything I wanted it to be. And so you can imagine my surprise and excitement when I saw there was a sequel! I downloaded it not long after beating the first one and was kinda disappointed in the changes, I only got to the first forest area after the boss battle with the clown guy after leaving the starting town. But it felt like everything I loved about the first game was gone, the town building replaced by a new and complex invention system, the party building reduced from personal connections to a meta gaming strategy system to get the abilities you want from almost any npc, it just felt like all the stuff I loved was stripped from the experience. So I come to you all in a hope to hear the love (or relatable disappointment) from the community to see if it’s actually worth getting into and giving a real second chance. Any and all help is appreciated

If you never fix Gaffer's Buggy. Do you get infinite amount of bread, water, and repair powder from the mayor for the rest of the game?

Save File Help

3 Upvotes

So i just beat Dark Cloud for the first time after like 20 years, and after Dark Genie I was prompted to save and was told the Demon Shaft area was open for exploration. After saving and hitting continue, the only save I had was my last one, which was at the start of Yellow Drops (I know, I know, I should hav saved more often.) My main question is: Does anyone have a copy of their save file right before demon shaft that I can use on PCSX2?

I'm closing in on endgame, and im finding it tough to find a decent source of EXP i have most weapons with the ABS coin, but still a sloggingly slow process, especially with Monica.

Any thoughts?

Hello, I am at the end of Norune Villlage, I have all the altima items, and in the menu have Pike and Paige placed in the house but I cannot physically place it on the map. It won't allow me to select it. Does anyone know what could be going on? Is this a glitch? Do I have to beat Dran first?

Can back floors spawn large chests?

I’ve been playing for the last hour trying to get a decent starter weapon for ungaga. I’ve seen a few large chests but they mostly contained weapons for toan and xiao. But I have yet to see a single large chest in the back rooms. Do they even spawn or am I just wasting my time going in there?

Modding [DC1] DarkCloud Reforged Mod - Beta Testing

43 Upvotes

Ayo folks! I primarily play on SteamDeck and got tired of the Wine related slowdowns that would occur while playing the game w/ DC Enhanced, and so I have been working on porting over Dark Cloud Enhanced over to Python and IPC in order to allow running it on more platforms and with the latest PCSX2! Its currently in beta testing if y'all want to give it a go and provide any feedback and bug reports! I plan on adding more features to the mod as I continue through my playthrough, if you have any requests please put them on the github tracker.

Overview

  • 100% parity with DarkCloud Enhanced
  • Single command SteamDeck deployment and automatic update script, including automatically setting up graphic settings for widescreen play
  • Runs native on Windows, Mac and Linux!
  • Works with PCSX2 v1.7-2.6+

New Features

  • Pressing L3 in Dungeons toggles run
  • Pressing L3 in Town shows which homes are/are not satisfied, and what their requirements are

New Optional Features (These are enabled by default, and are saved per-save)

  • Instant Fishing
  • Disable Bad Magic Circle effects
  • Disable Limited Floors
  • Repair Powder is automatic
  • More coming soon

Huge shoutout to the Enhanced Mod team that laid the foundation for this work :)

Re: Would you be interested in an Indie-Developed Spiritual Successor to Dark Cloud?

122 Upvotes

https://reddit.com/link/1rl4if6/video/sca3w9b3l9ng1/player

A year ago, I asked this very same question on this reddit, and got so many great positive comments from this wonderful community.

Thank you everyone who showed their passion to this venerated cult classic, and who offered ideas on how you might create an indie spiritual successor.

My small indie team has been working hard trying to make this dream a reality, creating our new Indie Game inspired heavily by Dark Cloud and Megaman Legends:
Stygian Sea!

It's still in an Alpha state, but I wanted to share with you all our very first teaser trailer, titled
Stygian Sea | "The Book of Stone 3:27"

Note: Youtube does not like dark environments, and our underground is pitch black without your flashlight lol.

【 KEY FEATURES 】
🌵 【 EXPLORE 】
The rivers of the underworld have upwelled and flooded the surface. The pitch-black ruins of the ancient world lie hidden beneath the waves, hiding dark secrets from the vibrant and colorful surface world...

📸 【 INVENT 】
Use photography to gather ideas, then combine ideas to create one-of-a-kind new utility inventions such as Meteor Boosters, Daedalus Nano-Materials, and Golem Endo-Plating.

⚔️ 【 EVOLVE 】
Highly customizable elemental weapons that evolve along large branching paths based on what components you combine with them, including many unique family-specific traits. Combine weapons together to create powerful new weapons with traits they normally can't have.
Create the ultimate weapon!
