TIPS

In X Mode, all boss enemies have a certain weapon that they are particularly weak against. Finding out which weapon is most effective on which boss is the key to success.

In Vile Mode, selecting weapons that are best suited for a boss's movements or the stage layout is crucial. Experiment to find the right combination that works best for each stage and boss character.

Completing certain stages may affect the layout of other stages. Some changes will be to your advantage, while others won't. So, the order in which you tackle the stages can be very important.

Sub-Tanks are hidden in four of the eight stages that you can select after clearing the opening stage. These Sub-Tanks can restore 32 units of Life Energy if used when full. Filling up your Sub-Tank before a boss battle is definitely a good strategy.

Each stage that you can select after clearing the opening stage has at least one Life Up item hidden in it. Collecting these to increase your max Life Energy is crucial to winning.
