Huh. I gather it was moved in 1.6?

It's always been behind a Crack 10 door. It's with the poster in the sector it's in.

Buh? At least in version 1.5 and below, all you needed to get into Cracker's Hideout was an explosive weapon. The poster room was just a poster and a logbook. Sounds like it has moved.

Anyways, if it hasn't moved after all, your hint is: all you needed to get into Cracker's Hideout was an explosive weapon.

Is that cracker's hideout the one with the elevator that doesn't go only down?

Yes, cracker's hideout is behind a cracked wall in an elevator shaft in Sector 7.

Oh. That. I was thinking of Yukacerba, yes. I forgot that area was called the Cracker's Hideout. I thought of it as the Room of Juicy Secrets.

Now was it always only available after beating the game once, or is that just true of 1.6?

I think its location must've been repeated several times in the thread already. Like the answers to a lot of things.

It's been in there since about 1.3, I think. That was the first version I played. I've still got it on my other computer, which could barely handle it.

I feel sort of like I cheated Ultimortal, since it lagged so much.

Might try it again.

Well I certainly appreciate it. :P

Also, Pacific: Probably. I'm reading through the thread for just that reason, but am only on page 20.

I'm just wondering do you have to beat the game first before you can access it? Because when I went through 1.6 first time through, knowing where to look as well, it wasn't there. But when I did the level after beating Tor, it was there.

So is it required to beat the game once to find it? And is that condition true of only 1.6, since I deleted 1.5 and can't check?

Beating the game first (having an ijisave.sav file with a "game beaten" flag) has been a requirement since it was implemented.

I brought over my 1.5 save file, which has beaten the game on Normal, hard, and Extreme.

Also, I love Asha's win quotes. They sound so cool. >_>

Funny. Every time I start a new file (like, new file altogether, because I have deleted Iji from my compy at least once for verying reasons), I find that it's best to start the game with a pacifist run, since it's much easier to go secret-hunting (and you can't get all the posters, for example, without killing stuff) when you have the sector maps. So you need to beat the game once, and making that first run a pacifist run kind of kills two birds with one stone.

Oh, and I remember watching a Deceased Crab Let's Play of the game, and there was a room where you basically play a one-woman variant of that hyperturret game. Which sector was that again? And was there any reward? I can't for the life of me remember.

Sector 8. You get +1 "secrets" for doing it IIRC. I think you have to kill two annihilators to pull it off.

Aah, I just finished my first playthrough, an Innocent run on Extreme.

Everything was fine and dandy until Sector X.

I was trying to find a way to get past Asha without killing. I had already fought her once to the end, expecting some scripted event in the end of the fight that would let me past without landing the final killing blow.

It had been about six months since I last played the game and this particular save file, and I had hazy memories of some log entry in the past telling to combine two weapons to morph some dagger of the assassins or something. I couldn't recall exactly what weapon it was or what two weapons were required for it, but that was my only clue towards how to beat Asha without killing and I guessed it would require the two most powerful weapons, after trying most other combinations available to me. I got pretty lucky there, I still don't know if I just recall the dagger thing wrong or if the log I'm talking about exists but is not at all related to Asha, but indeed the solution was to combine the two most powerful weapons. It was still way different than I had imagined. I was thinking something along the lines of Asha seeing my new weapon and fleeing in fear since the weapon would be so strong or something.

As far as I could figure out the only way to combine the two most powerful weapons is to have tasen weapons, komato weapons and cracking skills all at 10. And I didn't have enough points for that. When I noticed that I already considered quitting and going to sit in a corner crying, but I wanted to unlock the hardest difficulty for future playthroughs.

I spent a good hour farming for nano by using the resonance reflector and tricking enemies to kill themselves and each other. That one Annihilator in the beginning of the sector on the upper route combined with all the lesser enemies was the most painful part, I must have died a good dozen times there. In the end I got extremely lucky, I got the needed points when there were only two enemies left. If all that trouble would not have been worth it, if I would not have gotten enough nano from all the enemies on the sector, I probably would have rage quited a game for the first time in my life. After that, the rest was a breeze. The final boss was much easier than I had expected.

Next in the schedule is an one woman army run on Ultimortal. Wish me luck.

. . . Are these seriously your first two runs?

Pacifist on Extreme is arguably the hardest way to play the game. One Woman Army on Ultimortal is potentially suicidal. Hint: You only get the shotgun and resonance detonator. You can't crack anything. You can only increase Health. Killing anything with the Shotgun is very difficult at Attack 1. I would suggest you try for a technical pacifist by virtue of maintaining your sanity.

Yes.

Okay, I'll still try it but I admit it sounds like there is a possibility for me to never succeed. The most disappointing part is that I only get the shotgun. I was looking forward to getting to finally use all those fancy weapons I had to refuse during the innocent run.

Oh, and there's a time limit for each level on Ultimortal. Even if you're reallyjoel's dad, you're going to have trouble killing enough people each level before the time limit runs out.

Bah, double post, but still... Easier to have it show up.

There's one other thing that could kill a OWA run on Ultimortal dead: there's a time limit on every level. I'm not sure you can even manage close to the required kills on most levels and still make it out in time. I know the time constraints on Sector X are very tight, plus you're forced to take on Asha II with the normal shotgun on Extreme difficulty AI.
