Lament of Innocence Speed
RunAuthor: Damien MoodyI'll
admit it right now, I'm not
all that hot with the whip -
at least not until I get a few
of the advanced techniques.
You'll notice early on in the
Ghostly Theatre and The Dark
Palace of Waterfalls that my
whip control is lackluster at
best...at least in the Dark
Palace I have my sub-weapon to
make up for it. Speaking of
sub-weapons...I only need one
- the Knife. Yes, the Knife -
The weakest sub-weapon out
there. Combined with the
Yellow Orb, however, it's one
of the strongest attacks in
the game. And I abuse it to no
end...which is the reason I'm
constantly gathering Hearts.
Astral Knife has a high base
attack power, but the real
power behind it is when I'm
able to use it at point blank
range. When it's used it
summons 8 small knives that
fire straight out from Leon,
doing damage if anything is in
the way. They then begin
circling over Leon's head
until something is close
enough, then they will home in
and attack. At point blank
it's possible to add 2-4 extra
hits to this attack, making it
extremely useful even on
enemies that are resistant to
the Knife. It's also a great
crowd clearer, as can be seen
in almost any part of the run.
I should also note that the
only reason I save is so I can
use the Memorial Tickets. They
won't let you use them if you
don't do a complete
save...which I found rather
annoying.
