I was wondering if Duke was a Knight or not. Raven did refer to him as a soldier and knew him from The Great War, and so did Alexei. Damn it, they should shown more about Duke.

Duke was the "hero of the Great War". Like, a huge war-hero back then, which is why prior to the final fight Yuri and everyone have the conversation as to "whether or not they can actually beat him, since he was a war hero back then and probably only gotten stronger." Not sure if he was a knight though, but based on how he acts, no...but I couldn't tell you for certain.

If anyone is interested in this game go to gamecrazy, my local gamecrazy is selling it new for $30.

Finding Fake Gald is so boring...

I'm going to try and beat Kratos on unknown tonight. Hopefully 110 is high enough...

My god, unknown is suuuuch a huge leap from hard mode. I get my ass kicked whenever it's Yuri alone. Maybe I'm just underleveled.

Kratos on hard does like 500 per slash

on Unknown: 3,000 per slash.

So yeah, unknown is stupidly hard. Waaaaay different than hard mode.

What level were you guys at when you did 200 man melee... That good looking witch is pretty hard... I got to the no items ever guy and lost.

I've actually never gotten around to do it. As I said, I rushed through my first playthrough, but this time I intend to do all the sidequests and stuff.

Well, I'm at 117 and I'm having a hard time with it. 3 failed attemps so far.

Are you trying to play unknown. L2nd? I hope you got the right stuff out of the grade shop...

I got everything beneficial from the grade shop, and yes I'm playing unknown. It is freaking ridiculous.

Wait 'till you get to Unknown Alexei...

Be prepared to get MA spammed all the way out of Zaude.
