Just checked the UK PSN store, for the preorder costumes. They are up, and free lol. Feel bad for anyone who paid extra you got screwed.
I haven't even touched chapter challenge yet. I now have all scarabs, beat all of the crystal skull challenges (that last one is annoying), beat the game on Normal and Hard, and have a bunch of the miscellaneous achievements too. Master Ninja and Ultimate Ninja on deck and now I can properly tackle them with my costume, though 'Dragon Muscle' is a stupid name for it...
Interesting. I found Day 4's skull challenge to be more difficult than Day 8's.
And yeah, a lot of the costumes have been named stupidly, but that one in particular stands out.
I wish the DOA Throwback made it in there...
Anyway, only costumes I still don't have are Kasumi's White DOA one, her stupid kimono and Momiji's weird-ass blue one. Keep grindin', grindin', grindin'...

Yup. If you were using the blue outfit, he looks like a straight up zebra. Funny cause I think this is the part where it happen to me at.
Got to the last boss and no Kisurigama,think I got like half of the scarabs and none of the skulls
Kusari-gama is a fairly late scarab reward. IIRC it was like 30 or 35 or something.
You should get on that ASAP.Strangely enough, I haven't even picked up a copy of NG3:RE.
Does anyone know how much Karma you lose for dying? It seems to be more than just the Karma you earned since last checkpoint.
edit: And sometimes it doesn't seem to take any karma away. Weird... -_-
Honestly I never checked, but I don't think you *should* be losing more than what you've earned on that current run. If you are and can prove it I'll forward the information on. I don't think we should expect a patch but if there's enough items on the list we might get one. The game is pretty solid and the only bugs I've noticed so far seem to be pretty minor graphical ones, the challenge one I mentioned before excepted.
@Russian-chiropractic19: It's 30 scarabs, but the easiest way to kill the final boss is to use Lunar during the first phase and literally any weapon you want for the rest. She takes damage pretty evenly during most of it but the Scythe actually works quicker during the part you're slashing her hands. Also, she's still a raging cunt.

infinite karma scrab glitch, its like 10m karma per 30 seconds XD
They've already been made aware of it. It's also incredibly easy to see who's doing it, so you're really only ruining your own achievement if you do it. I tested it in my Normal run because A) I wanted to see if it really did work and B) I didn't want to do it on a run I gave a damn about if it did.
Anyone else playing on 360 and using SmartGlass? I have it running on my Surface Pro next to me the whole time I'm playing and it basically gives me realtime tracking on all of my kills and what weapons I'm doing it with, which achievements I'm working on and how close I am, and a bunch of other neat shit. If you have the 360 version you definitely should be using it.

Sythe is becoming my new favourite weapon
its SSYY and 360T moves are godlike with Iframes and insane damage

Kusari-gama, a weapon I've always disliked, is fast becoming mine. Best SoB in the game easily since Ryu will grab enemies that are not close with the chain and drag them in for it. I'm on Day 2 of my MN run and relatively easily beat Day 1 in about 20 minutes with it starting at Level 1. I just got Level 3 for it at the beginning of Day 2 by not buying anything else (and I only imported about 50k from the demo) and I'm just wrecking everyone. Nice to be able to de-limb the Alchemists with a free shot once in a while and the RotM can't handle the air-Strong attack grab when he does an unsafe move. Free Izunas all day long.
I told you guys, NG3 is Kusari territory.
It is but I'm going for weapon achievements while I play. Just finished Day 3 on MN and figured I'd tell you guys the strategy I worked out against the Gigantosaurus.
See, I got sick of waiting for him to fall over and decided to fight how I wanted to fight. I'll make a video if you guys want but I'm hoping this isn't so complicated that you can't work it out on your own. Basically, there's no need to wait for him to knock himself out. Just stare him down matador style and charge the level 1 UT on the Eclipse Scythe. Let it rip right when he's about to run you over with his head and he'll take some damage and the wave will cause a second hit to register on his tail, stunning him again and allowing you to get out from under him to other side of the arena. Rinse and repeat.
My recommendation, though, is to attack him normally until he gets his metal body. You deal much more damage when he's completely vulnerable by attacking him non-stop. This only becomes the better option when you can only attack his head. Also, don't forget to dodge to the side and hit Strong Attack when he tries to bite you before the last stage. You can get some free damage on him and a lot of people don't even know you can do that.
I've never heard of anyone fighting him this way before but if there is someone else, kudos to them I guess. I'm not much for claiming credit for anything. Just figured I'd help. Still working out my strategies to make it through MN difficulty at any player skill level. Up til now I've got something for pretty much every "difficult" fight.

I'll have to try that next time I'm doing story mode.
The hardest parts for me on my first go (excluding skull challenges on Day 4 & 8), were Fiend Ryu, Ayane's final fight, Cliff, and the first part of Canna's battle.
I got through them all pretty fast, but I received a lot of damage which is not a good sign for when I have to fight them on the final two difficulties. I remember Cyber saying that Lunar combo worked well on Fiend Ryu and that Canna part, but if anyone has solid no damage tactics for any of those parts I mentioned, I'm all ears.

Any enemy that can be hit with an Izuna can be massacred with either Lunar or Kusari-gama. You can obviously do it with other weapons but they're the fastest and most reliable to put damage on the board. With the KG I bait out unsafe moves and jump and hit Strong to pull them up. Works just as well on Fiend Ryu and the RotM.
With the first part of the final boss the whole point is to just use Lunar to level 1 UT, OT, run to the other side and rinse and repeat til you have enough Ki. Keep in mind you need to stay on the far left of the stage because Canna can't hit you there (though if you stay still too long the stupid lasers can). It lets you run back and forth doing UT after UT with as much safety as can be expected there. No other weapon gains Ki that fast including the KG.
Cliff is the easiest boss in the game, though. For the first part just stay away and shoot him with arrows constantly until he takes your bow away. Then it's just a matter of staying close to him, getting a couple strikes in and SoB when possible. Pretty easy fight all told. You just have to play cheesy and stay in close.
I just finished Day 4 and the fucking acid pit can go die in a fire. You can't kunai climb out early, you have a ton of chimera to fight, and you get one of those annoying spider like creatures with the floating head first form as a bonus. You can't UT spam the chimera because you need the normal kills to fill up your red UT to one shot the big guy and the whole time you're eating damage from the floor and this is after fighting a metric fuck ton of the chimera up top with no chance to heal. Ugh.
