Boktai 2 Walkthrough

When I mention things here, this is what I mean: • North, East, South and West all refer to the game’s definition of these terms (thanks to the isometric view), which when viewing the game correspond to Up-Right, Down-Right, Down-Left and Up-Left • “Exit” means a screen transition. If I do not specify a direction to exit, it is most likely a dead-end room; exit the way you came in. • Some things are optimized, most are not; be aware that many changes will be made • This does not include any level-up directions or weapon acquirement, both of which would be required in an actual run • I have not included all items in screen directions, only those that I think would be of value
