The Ark Dark - Katana% Route
Aktualisiert 5 years ago von dreamsyntax

This is the most difficult mission for Only Dark Missions Katana% route.

The first two generators are straight forward, play the level normally, but be sure to activate the 2nd checkpoint in the level without breaking any shadow boxes until the 5th checkpoint is reached.

When you reach the 5th checkpoint immediately warp back to the 2nd one, grab the katana and easily destroy generator #1 without jumping. After you are done warp back to checkpoint 5.

Use the two weapon boxes near generator #2 to jump and swing to hit the generator with the katana projectile. You will need to move towards it (over the edge) in your jumps to hit the generator. When it breaks to half HP the hitbox is smaller, so you will need to get even closer.

Mounting the next black hawk will drop your Katana, ride all the way to the 3rd generator without jumping off. Try to get the missiles that track you to hit generator #3 to broken state / half health.

You can do this consistently by staying in the:

*** upper middle area of the bottom left 'square' *** DO NOT HOLD A while bumping into shields or generators!

of the shield blocking the generator.

Once half health is reached, move the black hawk to the top center of the entire shield, dismount and jumpdash towards the platform behind you to get the checkpoint. Immediately mount the black hawk that spawns behind the checkpoint.

Now you will want to once again sit at the top center portion of the entire shield, but slightly be pressing down to have the hawk ready to dive directly onto generator #3 when the shield you are bumping against breaks. It will take 3 hits from the missiles tracking you to destroy the shield if the shield had not been previously hit. Just before the 3rd missile hits, start holding down.

Once you are successfully 'hooked' onto the generator, you want to carefully make your way to the bottom left corner of it. Occasionally tap the opposite direction to ensure you 'hook' and get bounced back rather than passing the generator. Being in the bottom left corner will eventually cause the missiles from the turrets to hit the generator, destroying it.

From here just ride to the 4th generator, and be sure to get the final 3 boost pads. The ones before are optional if you have enough health on the hawk.

For generator #4, just dismount and begin homing attacking until it breaks. Be careful not to get hit by the missiles. IF its decided homing attacking the generators are banned, it is still possible to get the turret missiles only to destroy the final generator, but its very difficult/poor consistency compared to generator #3.

Hook on the generator and try to stay on the bottom center, but strafe right and come back towards the center again as the missile volley gets near, otherwise all the missiles will hit the hawk instead of the generator.

Alternative 4th generator method / no homing attacks:

Note: this was recorded on Dolphin, with settings as close as possible to real hardware. I have done this on real hardware and when I complete a Only Dark Missions Katana% run, I will update the videos with the real hardware recordings.
