HCBailly plays ActRaiser - Part 6 of 10


It's time to finish our business in Aitos in this entry.

Now that you're in Sim Mode in Aitos, use the lightning to get rid of the rocks. You'll be able to build more houses and even find lairs.

There's a new enemy here - the floating skulls. If you're not using Strength of Angel, they take eight arrows to kill. A Bomb also works well. These things will cause earthquakes that kill people and destroy houses, so the quicker you can get rid of them and seal their lairs, the better!

They'll also try to run into you if you're close enough, so watch out! Their touch can take quite a bit of the Angel's health down, making it easier to be temporarily taken out of commission in the later towns.

Take out the lair with the skulls as soon as possible. Use your Bombs on them if you have to, since they're annoying.

After sealing two lairs, a dying man will show up at the temple. Use Rain on the Temple so he can die in peace.

The people here will have horses after a while. Not sure if it has anything to do with the storyline or even the village, but okay...

When the wind stops blowing, send the Wind to get the windmills going again. The absence of wind stops population growth, so when it happens, drop all you're doing and use Wind.

The people of Aitos will also make clothes out of sheep's fleece, and will offer it to you. Don't take it yet, you'll need it later and you might need the inventory space for some Bombs or Strength of Angel.

The people will also refine their mountaineering skills enough to find another MP and offer it to you.

When you seal all the lairs, the volcano will erupt, allowing you access to Act 2. For some strange reason, they'll still build...but a lack of wind stops population growth while a volcano eruption doesn't? Gee, thanks, game.

Aitos - Act 2


You're finally in the volcano.

The lava kills you instantly, so stay out of it.

Hit the rocks that jump out the volcano three times before split apart in order to get more points.

The eye clouds are weird. They fly toward you, but when you hit them, they shrink and go in a circle, making them harder to hit. They go down after a third strike, though.

The background in the second section is pretty wicked. Not only are those the largest stalactites I've seen anywhere, the Mode 7 in the background makes for some pretty interesting heat effects.

You'll have to be quick with the last few platforms here, as they all go up and down and the last few sink into the lava.

The third section has samurai with bows and flaming arrows. The arrows are fast and come frequently, so be ready to strike them with your sword or jump over them.

You'll have to time your movements carefully to avoid being burned by the flames of those giant statue heads...but at least you'll be able to refill your health once you're at the second set!

The boss here is a wheel with fireballs and an ogre's face. Stand underneath the left side of the short platform and strike him from there. Get in four hits, jump straight up, then get back in position. He'll never be able to hit you. If you have Magical Stardust equipped, feel free to use it on the boss for some insane damage.

To get the maximum population for Aitos, head to another area and wait for the sand on the hourglass to go to the bottom three times. Come back to Aitos and you'll be at the max population of 802.
