Peabob_ Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I'm currently playing on normal and I'm struggling to get past stage 3. I'm tryign not to use video walkthroughs as that's just admitting defeat. Please tell me you are all as crap as me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) This game is hard the first time you play, I spent an hour trying to avoid the Level 5 boss (at least I think it was Lv5) but once you've studied the videos and looked up some hints and tips on the Catherine wiki, solving the puzzles becomes almost second nature . Babel mode is 10x harder then Story mode due to how random it is, even with playing it in Pairs mode . The video walkthroughs are essential as it's unlikely you will finish the game without looking at them at least once. Edited March 3, 2012 by Terminator Added extra info.

Beli Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I finished the first walkthrough today, and I think the game is very difficult. But at the same time the story is so good (: The puzzles are very complex, but in the end of the game its easier to solve the puzzles because you know more tricks (it isnt easy but you try different things, and you can solve the puzzles). When they are teaching you new technics try to learn some, they help u a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRY91 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 It is a very hard game, reminds me of Demon Souls in a sense that you will die a lot and new strategies and things that work and things that don't. I was really bad when I first started and had to look up some solutions for normal difficulty. You'll get progressively better, especially after hard playthrough for gold prizes and the babel. So far I have now been able to knock off the first two stages of the babel in pairs so you will get there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToastedAndButter Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 duuude i totally suck at this game. I admitted defeat by looking at youtube vids but ahh immgnna check out this catherine wiki fo show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicedge Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Why is looking up videos admitting defeat? I looked up some videos as well but I never gave up. Getting help is not so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xneoangel Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Don't worry about it, this game has a steep learning curve so it will take some time before you get used to it... I also felt this way at some point and i even rage quit at the babel stages but i came back and now i have the platinum so you just have to keep at it and you'll eventually get better.

jinqui242 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Just play on the Easy difficulty if it's giving you trouble. It'll train you more for the harder difficulties if you're inclined to try them and go for more trophies and different endings. I was okay on Easy until the sixth stage and then I gave in and looked on Youtube for a few killer parts. I don't have the reflexes for this type of game.

ToastedAndButter Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 nnuuh i dont thinm its admitting defeat anymore youtube tuts and following what they do has given me more of a grip on the game and faster then i wouldof figured out myself! The whole 2nd last floor i didnt even need the tuts anymore coz i finally understand it now. I even got through the level with the boss and his big ass gun without tuts! This game is sooo rewarding.

Peabob_ Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 Well I made it past lvl 3! I think things must have just started to click for me because I absolutely beezed through lvls 4-6. I'd like to think if I went back to lvl 2 I would get gold no problem now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francofone Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 The game just takes getting used to as far as the controls and the different obstacles that are put in the game. I struggled early, but improved with more playing. Now, the challenge puzzles are a completely different story. Those are rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 lol whats the point in that? It's for people like the OP who are really struggling with this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peabob_ Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 Well I finally beat the game. I went back to replayed level 2 and 3 just to see how difficult they were in comparison and I got the gold prizes withotu even trying. Very steep learning curve to this game but I really enjoyed it.

Saiho Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 This game was the same for me in the beginning. In fact, I was even contemplating on changing it to easy mode. Now that I have platinum the game, I have went back to the stages I used to struggle with and they are now really easy. Just keep at it, and you'll find them easy later on too =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saiho Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 How many hours have you spent to get the platinum? Took me around 50 something hours to platinum it. The hardest part for me was beating obelisk. And remember to use 2 controllers for axis mundi if you have the NA version (if they haven't patched it yet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 remember to use 2 controllers for axis mundi if you have the NA version (if they haven't patched it yet). That also applies to the EU version and no, they haven't been patched . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcollins22 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 yeah i suck at this game as well!! I got the plat, but without guidance on some of the rapunzel stages I would never have got it. The story mode isnt too bad, and only axis mundi gave me trouble. Using two controllers makes such a big difference.. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmsdq Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I made it through my first playthrough last year with no video help, but I did not get a single gold run. =P Now I'm itching to pick it up again and work on that platinum, but the randomness of Babel intimidates me, haha. I will have to really work on playing the game again first. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to really work on playing the game again first. xD You guys have great self-control, stage 6 was damn near impossible for me to beat on my own, I had to youtube walkthrough it. Most of all the rest I solo'd cept the last boss aswell, that stage was nasty. After that first playthough I breezed through hard with no help at all though, its really about mastering the techniques and knowing when to use which one.

Kahalachan Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 This game is challenging and I like it. I got it recently cause of the 50% off sale on Atlus games. This is just like another Atlus game, Dark Souls. Just keep dying over and over until you learn. You'll eventually get it down after you keep dying and retrying.
