those damn 'combo statues' in DMC3

[Powerslave]

how am I supposed to do these? I'm on mission 15 or so and already skipped a few of them because they were impossible. I'm combo-ing for 10 minutes straight and then have to start all over again because the flames ignite again. And to think, I'm on easy-automatic

Not that I know if the difficulity of the game affects the statues or not....

[Robo]

It's all in the combo variety, as far as I remember.  I'm not sure how automatic easy works, but it might be more difficult if you don't have exact control over your combo strings.  There are probably a few mentions of how to do each in any number of walkthroughs.

[Powerslave]

Yeah I just found a faq explaining it a bit. I usually get up to "Sweet" and get stuck there.

[Powerslave]

fuck it I gave it up.

iirc doing  moves on the statue while in Devil Trigger helps boost your combo rank...

at least it does in DMC4 which im playing now

[Powerslave]

I don't know I tried the Devil Trigger on it but it didn't seem like it affected it.

btw the adjuctator (sp) I'm talking about is the one in the 'cube' room. Mission 18 I think... where you have to use Beowolf.

those statues suck ass

I should get back to this game (quit again after you get the guitar), but I really don't like this game as much as DMC1, liked the simplicity (as in: only 2 weapons) there more

I'll move on to Ninja Gaiden, see how I like that

[Powerslave]

Word.

[Powerslave]

I really don't like DMC that much. The funny thing is, fighting is my least favorite thing in this game and I don't look forward to battles at all.

[Darunia]

then what is your favorite thing

mine are the wacky cutscenes. these games have a right to exist for that aspect alone

[Powerslave]

Yes I look more and more forward to the cut-scenes lately. Anything that'll hold me off from fighting

Exploration is another part I like better than fighting.

The DMC formula really got tired imo. Enter a room, watch every door get locked, fight shitty enemies, collect item, backtrack to a locked door

[Darunia]

exploration in DMC games is pretty non existent except for the blue orb fragments and apart from that it sucks. Crappy RE 1 era camera angles,frustrating jumps, slow run speed. etc.

[Powerslave]

It's the detailed and atmospheric environment I guess.

And I really wish games like this gave you some super power-ups or weapons without downsides. Or don't freaking limit them to 10 seconds like the Devil Trigger. I never use that shit because I don't want to waste it incase a better enemy comes along. It's really fucking broken.

[ananus]

it's not broken, you just suck. there's a code to unlock super dante (infinite dt) for people like you, who suck. use it. sucker.

[pancakesandsex]

use a wide variety of moves, and never use the same move more than 2x in a row, always use at least 2 other moved before repeating a previously used move.

man these cheats are incredible. I can finally breeze through the game without worrying about limited powers  :sp0rsk1
