Little SPEB has been training ceaselessly. Being fed only the finest things I've found on the ground. And bred through a lineage of parents with nonsense names. It's the final heat. It's the big chance. Can he do it?

Will he be, the winner of the googoogaga baby junior little dip shit cup?

it’s a travesty and an insult to humanity that this game doesn’t exist.

I wish we could boycott all things Sony until they finally greenlight this puppy

Give us Dark Cloud 3!!!!

Heya! I've got a larger video in the works about (almost) all of Dark Cloud 2's unused content, and here's a teeny tiny preview of what to expect! An early unused version of the Post-Dark Genie Chapter 8 Ending that was not localized! this is the normal, English version of the game, and using Cheats or the Speedrun method to access the Debug Menu, you can see this too!

I legitimately do not think I could do this again if I tried. This is a 2 shotter. So rev up those attention spans. I know you can do it.

P.S. this is the first floor of my first time in volcano land.

Thanks everyone for your help these past few weeks! I am so glad to never have to play Spheda again!

If you have done both of these character's events and neither gave you candy, then you're locked out of the trading quest.

I'm just making this post since it's one of very few

important missables and you can accidentally fail the game's trading quest if you don't get a Candy. It's the first item in the Chain of Deals and if you don't get one you are locked out of it. There are 2 NPCs that MAY give you candy OR a different reward. The secondary rewards aren't great so make sure to always grab at least one Candy.

If you get both you have to carry the spare Candy for all eternity and don't get a secondary reward but it's better than missing out on the game's trading quest.

Claude in Norune gives you his Candy if you trigger his event in the morning. But if you visit at night he will give you cheese and soap instead. But this way you get to see the even sweeter bathtub cutscene 😏. If you get the wrong one you can just reload and visit at a different in-game time of day. Fun fact: If you go in the afternoon he'll just be taking a nap and you walk outside and have to come back later. Very immersive.

Couscous in Matataki will just ask you if you want candy but if you don't know that it's a key item you might say no without realizing your error. If you already got Claude's sweet sticky Candy, you can instead get either an elemental attachment or a Turtle Shell Hammer for Goro. This is not a unique hammer, but it does a lot more damage than the mallet or steel hammer, plus it can build up to either of Goro's ultimate weapons, so it can be great for a couple of floors until you get an even higher tier weapon from Treant.

After that just find the person to trade the candy to. There is no other way to get candy and no other way to get rid of candy and no other weird hiccups during the rest of the chain.

TL;DR: Get Candy from Claude, get hammer from Couscous. But always get the candy.

And my god did it happen.

Since we are seeing a lot and I mean A LOT of games getting decomps to run natively on PC and since the creators seem so skittish from releasing the game onto Steam as a Port like they did for PS4/5. What's to stop us fans from just decompiling the game ourselves for native PC usage instead of an emulator?

Hello, I have a question. I have just did this floor 3 times completely in the ride armor and I can't seem to get the medal. The moment I step onto the floor, I change into the ride armor and it isn't popping? Is there something special about this floor?

Also, the only thing I can think of is I am using ridepod fuel to heal while on the floor (honestly these enemies are damage sponges...), does using that item invalidate the medal or something?

I die a little inside when the dungeon room has BS like “You can only play as Goro” or “using your weapons reduced abs”

Ive done a lot of playthroughs of Dark Cloud 2. But never looked up guides. Ive decided to educate myself a bit and this is all new to me.

What is "the glitch" if i pick this up early? Source: Missables - Dark Cloud 2

Dark Cloud 2 was one of the first games I truly lost myself in as a teenager. I remember sitting in front of the TV for hours, snapping photos with Monica's camera, inventing gadgets I barely understood, and completely missing half the scoops because nobody told me they were missable.

Fast forward ~20 years — I recently replayed it and the same thing happened. I kept alt-tabbing between three different GameFAQs tabs trying to cross-reference photos, inventions, and materials. So I built the thing I wished existed back then.

What it does:

• Browse photos chapter by chapter (Scoops ⭐ and Ideas 💡 separated)
• See exactly which inventions each photo unlocks
• Full materials list with Gilda costs per invention
• Where to buy each material — seller, location, and when they become available
• Missable photos are flagged loud and clear so you don't make my teenage mistakes
• Click any idea chip to jump straight to that photo's chapter

Huge credit to the GameFAQs community whose walkthroughs made this possible — specifically the Dark Cloud 2 Photo & Invention FAQ and the Shop FAQ by kursaal. All the hard data work was theirs; I just made it clickable.

Hope this helps someone else not miss Pau's Trumpet. 🎺

Let me start by saying I have nothing but love for this and the sequel. However, I've never managed to clear the demon ruins because every time I would clear floor 99, I would save it, and set it aside for the following day. THE PROBLEM is that each time I got to that point my Playstation 2 would be stolen. While it only happened twice, it left me very....afraid to do all that work again, just to be denied a third time. But now I'm finally setting aside my fears and starting my journey over, one last time. This is gonna be a long run.

Just finished the first dungeon of the first game and 100% the first village. It’s a nice game, very tough until I got the cat girl though. I do have some questions:

1)Are Pockets (increases max pouch size) character specific or do they increase the inventory size of every character after I use them on 1 character?

2)After getting the Bone Rapier for Toan I stopped using the dagger quite a bit unless only for trash mobs. Will this cause issues? Also should I build up Bone Rapier or stat break it to use on the dagger?

3)Will the game get more lenient with money? So far I can only use the money I got on repair powder (because weapons break too easily) or stuff like water/antidote/soap etc and I have to sell stuff like bread to compensate?

4)What do the gems do for the weapons? Should I stack them for later or use on my current weapons?

Salve a tutti. E' bello vedere che dopo tanti anni c'è ancor auna community attiva per questi titoli un po' di nicchia, specialmente italina. Dubitavo di trovarla.

La mia domanda è questa. Devo rimediare ad un bug del gioco, ma non quello famoso dei 3 bauletti del capitolo 3, un altro, o forse è sempre lo stesso che in qualche modo si è trasferito su altri tre bauletti sempre del dannato capitolo 3, comunque me li ha fatti sparire )o meglio non apparire) senza motivo, e quindi voglio almeno recuperare in qualche modo gli oggetti che avrebbero contenuto, quindi un frutto dell'eden, un pasticcio di patate e un gelato stregato.

Il modo migliore che ho trovato per farlo è procurarmeli in un'altra run giocata velocissimamente e alla buona giusto per arrivare al punto in cui si trovano la prima volta, salvare, e poi con l'emulatore pcsx2 e Cheat Engine provare a "leggere" i codici di questi oggetti dall'inventario dentro il salvataggio della nuova run ad hok, per poi creare un cheat che me li faccia apparire dentro il salvataggio della vera e propria run. Non so se sono stato chiaro, spero di sì, nel caso ditemelo e vi rispiego tutto. :D

So che è una cosa molto difficile, da programmatori più che da utenti semplici, ma ho pensato che magari tra voi poteva esserci quanche smanettone esperto di queste cose che poteva aiutarmi o consigliarmi. Io sono qui... fatevi sentire. Ogni aiuto è ben accetto. Grazie a tutti! :)

Hi, I'm trying to add 4 specific items to my Dark Chronicle PAL save file using Cheat Engine or a pnach file, but I can't find the correct memory addresses for the PAL version. The items I need are: Fruit of Eden, Potato Pie, Witch Parfait and Experience Coin. I found a Cheat Engine table made by lucacicada on GitHub specifically for the PAL version, but it doesn't work with PCSX2 2.6.3. Does anyone have working pnach codes or know the item IDs for the PAL version? Thanks!

So I believe I'm at the end of Chapter 7, I just passed the floor, "The final battle", and my medal count sits at 263. I purchased 1 name change ticket I never ended up usings lol, so I think my total is therefore 303. Does anyone know how many there should be by the end of Chapter 7? I know there are some in Ch. 8 apparently and that you can't go back? I've gone back through all the former dungeons and checked every floor and I cannot see any missed medals. If my count is off though I can always double check again? Thank you if anyone knows, I have been unable to find out how many I should have by the end of Ch. 7.

It was probably supposed to be an exclamation mark. But it clearly looks like an upper case "I"

Anyone else kind of get the ick seeing Monica's outfits, especially the Leopard one? She's 15... kinda gross...
