There are cheat codes in the strategy guides!

Shi Kong Xing Shou and Sheng Shou Wu Yu: http://postimage.org/image/r7axchqkt/
Shui Hu Shen Shou: http://postimage.org/image/k3dp06ikb/

These are all to be entered at the title screen, before selecting New Game or Continue.

Unfortunately, they only work for starting a new game, not continuing an old one. But nonetheless...cheat codes! (And 99,999 gold can totally be useful...)

For those who can't read the arrow directions in Chinese:
上 = up
下 = down
左 = left
右 = right

Thanks for them! Now I can beat the two that are dumped without having to grind a lot.

Hey everyone. I just thought I'd drop in and show off a few things related to SKXS and SHSS.

1st to 8th rows: Main Characters
9th row: Major supporting cast, includes the villains.
10th row: Mugshots that are used on more than one character (some may belong in the ninth row)

Yep! More mugshots, now with just about all of the supporting cast. I didn't bother with the beasts since they're just cropped from their full sprites used in battles, though I do remember Ballot's beast looking in a different direction in it's mugshot.

1st row: Yan Long
2nd row: Chen Hu (Rival)
3rd row: Yan's partners that transform into monsters, in the order they are acquired, not met the first time.
4th row: The characters fought in the towers, or "Tower Leaders".
5th row: Supporting cast
6th row: mugshots used on more than one character.

Incomplete rip of the mugs from Shui Hu Shen Shou up to the part where you fight your rival in the desert (yes, I got that far without using a guide). I am going to say this once. That face Yan Long somehow pulls off where his eyes invert colors scares the living crap out of me. :faint:

If anyone wants to add to/complete either of the mugshot sheets, I'd appreciate the help.

And to top it all off, rips of Yan from the intro.

Sweet! I know Nina has one or two different mugshots during her minigame, but Ballot's are the same in his (just in less color). I can post both up for completion's sake is you want.

Superjustinbros · « **Reply #49 on:** June 08, 2012, 04:38:53 PM »

Well if you want to post them, you're entitled to do so.

Another nod about Shui Hu Shen Shou; Looking through the scans of the guide, I found out that the battle with Chen Hu I mentioned was somewhere in Chapter 3, shown on Page 97. Further inspection reveal that some of the side characters, other than Yan Long, have more than one mugshot (May most likely be false), and also from the guide's screen caps, here are the mugshots I have yet to rip:

*Character with eyes closed and holding a blade over it's mouth. (Page 117)
*Two different characters with almost identical faces (Pages 118 and 119)
*Character with dark hair; met in a forest (Page 122)
*A person with a very drowsy face (Page 126)
*Two characters, one with large eyebrows and chin (is that supposed to be a beard?) and another with a mischievous face. (Page 135)
*A character with a large visor (Page 136)
*Two here, A character similar to the "mischievous" guy mentioned two bullets before, and a man with a mustache and a beard. (Page 138)

I'm sure there's others, but I don't have much desire to play SHSS at the moment. Though I do find it a tad bit more interesting than SKXS, as it's not as broken, takes on chinese mythology (my lust for asian culture may help this), and is the more challenging of the two games, thanks to Game Overs being present (including ones caused by stupid cutscenes like the timed desert area where you have to race to save a guy before he's killed, ending your game.

I'm sure one of those codes in SHSS is a infinite HP or instant max level cheat. Maybe it'd save the time spent leveling up my monsters and the only things I'd have to do is just do the things that advance the plot.

EDIT: And here is stuff about Shi Kong Xing Shou.

You are correct about a possibility of saving/resurrecting Mitt at the game's climax, as it shows him alive and well in Ballot's home with another person (can't be Ballot or his father, as they are stuck in the middle of the desert). I think it's only a new scene that follows the one with Nina and Claude, which is normally skipped in a casual playthrough.

I am unsure of what the unlock conditions are, but if it just so happens to be "catch every obtainable beast in the game and own seen data of uncatchable beasts", it'd have to be done on a clean save in a single sitting, without powering off or resetting, as doing this scrambles up the "Dex" data, removing monsters.

Another EDIT: Ladies and gentlemen, I give you...

THE MIGHTY MAP. ~OH BABY

Apologies for the double post, but Sink's walkthrough of SKXS went down the drain after Brydo closed the RX community forums. :\

Pepper-98 · « **Reply #51 on:** June 13, 2012, 09:12:53 PM »

Nina Minigame sprites for the SKXS sprite completionists out there:

I did mention back at the R.I.P. RX Community thread that the walkthrough was gone before it got cleaned up. I have the walkthrough saved on my computer in two MS Word files, though I don't know if the spoiler tagged stuff will show in it (I forgot to copy the content itself rather than the spoiler for some early parts.) They're like 178MB altogether, but I have them if anybody wants me to upload 'em.

KAGE-008 · « **Reply #52 on:** June 13, 2012, 11:43:07 PM »

Please upload them, Qiezei! I need to get its ending.

Superjustinbros · « **Reply #53 on:** June 21, 2012, 06:00:37 PM »

I need to bring up that I'd like to rip Shi Kong Xing Shou's tile set (if no one else desires to), but so I (may) have an easier time doing it, could someone translate what the two codes for the game do plus the codes itself (so it's not in Chinese letters requiring a key to enter them)? I know one is start with max money, but it's half pointless considering how quickly you can build up money just from fighting wild beasts over and over (since there really aren't any "trainers"), and I couldn't get the other code to work. If anyone wants to also translate the codes for Shui Hu Shen Shou, I'd be thrilled.

EDIT: I found out if you play the game on KiGB, the Beast-dex doesn't become glitched like it does on most other emulators after saving and reloading. All the ones shown are the ones normally encountered on the first route, which is where I am now leveling up Ballot's partner Beast.

Pepper-98 · « **Reply #54 on:** June 21, 2012, 07:26:10 PM »

Get yer walkthrough here! Both parts are in the ZIP file.

Superjustinbros · « **Reply #55 on:** June 23, 2012, 12:17:37 PM »

There's something I just learnt from the walkthrough.

During the first time Newton is spoken to, he mentions "Hey, you're Dr. Salah's son, Ballot!" So does this imply that Ballot's full name is Ballot Salah?

Pepper-98 · « **Reply #56 on:** June 23, 2012, 12:47:42 PM »

I suppose so...Did they ever mention Ballot's father's name before, or did they just call him Dr. Salah as well? It's been forever since I last checked that walkthrough.

Well this is related with Shui Hu Shen Shou. I apparently got screwed up the arse in a rather strange way. Not long after acquiring the second of whatever you're trying to obtain from the towers, before you reach the desert region, a large man that resembles a burglar that you've seen before transforms himself into a large stone monster that you automatically acquire. In a similar fashion to HM's from the Pokemon games and also with the beasts' abilities from Shi Kong Xing Shou, this rock monster allows you to smash your way through stone barriers. However, since the ability of the beast you acquire afterwards (x2 running speed) doesn't go away when you deposit that monster, I figured if I deposited the rock monster, I'd still be able to break the rocks, turns out no such luck. Then I took him out so I could do more landscaping only to have the rock monster's ability wiped out of him, rendering me unable to smash boulders and trapping myself in a portion of the game that I need the monster to escape from. I tried putting him in the first slot of my party; I tried mashing every button in both the over world while standing next to a rock, as well as while viewing the rock master's statuses I simply forgot how to activate monsters' special abilities. ;___;

But onto stranger news. While playing SHSS today, I came across something rather... interesting. Just like SKXS, Shui Hu Shen's monster/beast deposit system is buggy beyond belief, with the same glitches as in SKXS, but, with the added case of sometimes placing in monsters you've never caught. Mostly when this happens, trying to use them in battle will render them unable to fight as either they'll have no HP or learned moves, or even lock up the game.

But, today when this happened, I ended up with a monster that does not even appear in the dex. You can take it out of storage, and (try to) check it's stats, and when you do, the game (big suprise) locks up. But before it does, you're given a glimpse of it before the game freezes.

May I present to you; the one monster that never made it to the final:

Monster No. 109: The DERPY POT! (unofficial name)
