Hiya, I'm sure that some of you know about this game, and hopefully at least someone who beat it will read this. Anyway, I'm kind of stuck on the final boss. I can beat its first form pretty easily, but the second form... Well, I have no idea how to hit it at all. I tried twice, and while I can survive pretty well if I put my mind into it (I think), it's kind of pointless when I don't know how to attack. Anyhow, my question is: How likely am I to be able to figure it out? Is it viable to just try everything I could imagine and hope for the best, or am I supposed to examine some tablets for clues, or just be really lucky? Or maybe I'm just supposed to not die for some period of time. Well, if I don't try to attack then maybe dodging those thingies will be easier. Edit: Tried staying alive for as long as possible, got tired of it when the music looped once, maybe twice, and so tried to do something, and of course failed. Then I tried something else (if you beat the 7th and 8th guardians, then you might be able to guess what), which also didn't work, and then I accidentally killed myself.

I have never heard of the game, but the wikipedia article seems to have a link to a Japanese walkthrough.

Yeah, and I could check a video walk-through in English, my question was more of how likely I am to figure it out for myself, since this game has some ridiculously difficult puzzles.

Well, if you have the time and patience go ahead. The game can be very evil. Fun though.

This game sounds good, so I tried to instal it but failed. First it says I need dinput8.dll, so after finding this file and placing it in system directory, it now starts, the screen turns black and then it exits without doing anything. I downloaded both the game and english patch from http://agtp.romhack.net/project.php?id=lamulana. Normally I would try to check on project homepage for problems like this, but I assume it is all in Japanese so it would be no use. Any ideas how to fix this, or a site that might instruct me in english?
g,o,p,i=1e4,a[10001];main(x){for(;p?g=g/x*p+a[p]*i+2*!o: 53^(printf("%.4d",o+g/i),p=i,o=g%i);a[p--]=g%x)x=p*2-1;}

I'm really not sure, I didn't have any problems personally. Edit: Well, if anyone was planning to help, then there's no more need. I gave up and looked it up in the video-walkthrough, and found out that it was something I already tried, but I guess I didn't do it right. I really hate it when that happens.
