The zipline can also be shot in eight directions, but with the caveat that it only takes hold if there’s something solid on both sides as the two ends shoot away from you. Most importantly, Taro also can use a zipline which adds a creative dimension of jumping around. Neither of these are much help if you don’t time jumps or dodges right, but they offer just enough of a ‘fudge factor’ that you can sometimes correct near-misses. He can fling it in eight directions and there’s a nice feeling of momentum behind each swing, as Taro takes that important brief pause after each button press to wind up before initiating the attack.Ĭaptured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked)įor mobility, Taro has a short double jump and a blink-and-you-miss it slide that offers up a few precious I-frames to get you through some brutal attacks. Taro Takahashi’s main means of disposing of enemies is a super cool electric whip that dispatches most foes in a single crack, making you feel quite powerful once you get the rhythm of it down and scourge dozens of enemies in quick succession. In terms of gameplay, Steel Assault plays like a more fluid, but no less difficult, take on the classic Castlevania platformers. Steel Assault gets what it’s going for and doesn’t waste any more of your time, and in that respect, it’s almost impossible to dislike. Sometimes that’s all you need to have fun with a game just a few good ideas that are done extremely well. And just when it feels like it’s running short on ideas, the credits roll. You play as a badass good guy whose job is to kill the badass bad guys, and you do so by violently blowing up a lot of minions, ninjas, and mech suits with the power of a lightning whip. We hope this guide could provide some help for either newbie or veteran hunters out there.Steel Assault is a pretty simple game. Below are the coal and fuel list in case you need a reminder. This trick applies to Guiding Lands bone piles as well. While you can mine it three times if you’re using Geologist Level 3 since it adds one more item to crystals. If you are not using Geologist Level 3, it means always stop after mining a crystal twice. Since when a rare crystal finally spawns, it will downgrade all crystals in the area as well. To make sure you only get Dragonvein Coal Chunk, the one with 500 fuel, never mine a crystal all the way! Always save the last of items of each mining crystal to keep it at the max rarity level.

Plus, you can use Ghillie to hide from large monsters (and then Banish Ball them to the shadow realm) if you need to.Īnother trick you need to know when farming Steamworks fuel is that three different coals will give you different amounts of fuel. I suggest bringing Ghille or Glider Mantle since they have the longest upkeep and shortest recovery time as well. Don’t forget to change mantle with Tool Specialist in it.

If your Assassin’s Hood still has not recovered after you are done with Coral, just straight-up skip Tundra and go to the Volcano and Rotten areas instead.
