Great commentary Moresalty !! People searching for an easy 1CC of this game should definetely check it :) I actually have a few things to say about it that could help beginners : *nerd mode : on* a) Black-hole bombs actually don't do a lot of dammage by themselves. They are obviously enough to suck all popcorn ennemies into a black hole, but some ennemies (like the little pricklys you find on zone H) survive to it, and they don't deal a lot of dammage to bosses (for instance it takes quite a few bombs to destroy Golden Ogre if you don't shoot). However bombs are very usefull in that they give you five seconds of i-frames where you can just sit on the boss and do great dammage with the napalm bombs (green power-up). b) Everytime you get a 5000 appear on screen due to picking a surplus power-up you get an extra rank increase, you can see this clearly between 11:55 and 12:10. Thus I advice beginners to not take extra power-ups when being full on something, if possible. c) On the attack Double-Dealer does at 13:00 you have a safespot at the bottom right of the screen ;). *nerd morde : off*
Thanks for the input! I probably should have gone into how bombs work, and rank control a bit more. Never even noticed that safe spot on double dealer, lot easier than squeezing through the gaps on the top left lol.
Scanlines slave here from the STG discord. This showed up on my suggestions just in time as i just bought Gaiden Cozmic Collection (because that's what it is XD). Thanks for the guide.
Subscribed! You made this look easy! I tried a few runs of this and the third boss rekt me hard. But then I again I have almost zero experience on horizontal shmups so there's a lot to learn. This game is pretty awesome though. I should really get the Cozmic Collection Arcade for all the added features.
Wow it's been almost a year since I made this comment. I got back into Darius Gaiden this February 2023 and I was finally able to 1CC this route! I also made a commentary video of my own and plugged this video since it did help me a lot. I also got the ABEINSY clear a few days after the ABDHLQV clear.
Excellent gameplay and walkthrough. I just used your tips to get a 1cc. I'd like to put a link to your channel in the video. Let me know if that's alright with you. Thanks for your time brother.
i love shmup and specialy danmaky ( sry if my english is bad ) but this one i die all the time ... This is the reason i look video on the subject because i don't understand
Risk Storage boss is not a easy boss for beginners. Odius Trident or Vermilion Coronatus are easier. How a player with low class weapon will deal against Risk Storage full screen shot? Probably shot a bomb but will not save you next Storage attack.
Game is so brutally hard, just throws wayyyy too much at ya too fast. My problem is at some point I lose a life, and if you die once you might as well lose all your lives cuz losing your power ups is something you can't recover from past like stage 3 in this game
Are you playing with 30hz autofire? That's the way most people play the game, it's even on the attract screen and in Taitos official superplays. ABDHLQV is considered the easiest route but some of the other ones can get harder. I'm 100% sure you can clear the game with some practice.
On the M2 port, In the controller settings there will be a toggle on the shot buttons, you can select between 10-30hz.I like 30hz for damage and a 15hz for coverage. On the Saturn port its a code on the main menu

Deremm here, really nice commentary, you have a great voice for this! Totally relaxing!! Must give this game a try!
Came for Darius, stayed for all the fish lore 👌
Thanks for popping into my stream tonight and talking Darius with me! This walk through has a lot of great info and I'm hoping to 1CC this real soon.
This video helped me get a 1CC 14 years after discovering the game, and which in fact became a *1LC*, thank you!
That great to hear, congrats on the clear!!

Go right ahead, glad it helped!

Hope it will helps you out. Very different feel from danmaku.

@@morsalty Pretty sure I played with 30hz, does the Switch compilation enable that?, game is still brutal with the 30hz auto
@jackburton2680 Yup, it's in the options. Game will take a bit of learning, but you'll get the hang of it.
Sorry how to autofire?
