Topic: I need some help with Rage of the Gladiator.

I managed to beat all the opponents on challenge mode except Lord Vensor. I can't figure out the timing on that beam attack. The one with the multi colored circles in front of him that shoot beams out. Can Anyone tell me what I'm supposed to do?

You mean his lightning attack? I don't know what you're "supposed" to do, but I found it very effective to attack him as he's preparing it, thus cancelling it, since there's no way to dodge it that I can see.

so its like one of those unblockable attacks that you have to counterattack?

I'm not talking about the one where he says electric rage before zapping you. It's a move he only does in challenge mode. There's a stack of three circles that appear in front of him that are red, blue and green. They almost immediately shoot beams out at you. It's really hard to tell when to dodge. I don't think you can counter it since he stands pretty far back when doing it.

Ah, I still haven't made it past the first opponent in Challenge mode!

LOL @ Sean!

(Ok, I haven't made it past the first opponent in Challenge mode either... Link79 must have awesome skills to get so far into the game.)

I did try several times, but then you know I just had to move on. I'll probably try again after I finish with Red Steel 2 (I cannot see playing two games that are that motion-intensive back-to-back).

That move is really hard link.

I'll give you a clue. The color of each laser indicates what the next laser attack is going to be, jump, dodge or block.

I'm surprised I got good at this game so fast. Probably because I'd been playing alot of Punch out. All that's left is beat Lord Vensor on challenge and then the secret final opponent. This is one of the best Wiiware games out there!

I just beat Master Yee on Normal Mode, but how the heck do you tell when he's going to use his series of super fast staff strikes?

Yeah, Master Yee sucked. He makes some kind of sound before hand which should tip you off. The timing is difficult because he does long pauses before doing most of his attacks so I was often jumping the gun and getting whaled on.

vs Master Yee, here is a clue.... the intent is that his tell is so fast, that you cannot react.

Im stuck on horlan the crusher on challenge mode. Its his instant kill charge attack that gets me every time. Whenever i see him starting it im like "oh crap" and keep dodging too early instead of waiting. The challenge is welcome though, compared to the easier games out there that take only one playthrough to beat a level.

Does that mean whenever I wait for his next attack, I need to keep my shield up until/unless I see him starting a different attack? I guess that could work, since like Sean Aaron says, his other attacks (other than his hat bash, which is also so fast that I have to shield against it anyway) are pretty slow, although it may on occasion cost me enough speed to counterattack him before he starts chugging his health drink.

Wow... I didn't realize before, but it's awesome that Ghostfire staff are the ones actually posting hints and tips.

Congrats on the great game guys! Hopefully it's selling well, because it's a lot of fun to play (even if I'm not so good at it).
