Hint: Use the Six Cannon:
To use the Six Cannon in battle or anywhere else, youmust have an almost entire bar of VFX (plus the four to five mini-bars).Then, hold R2 until it gets to the last two VFX. A cannonwill appear and shoot a large beam with the switched characterin it. This works well against Bosses.
Hint: Silvia attacks:
Switch to Silvia, then do Slo mo and Replay followedby Close up. Then, punch the enemy for three times the damage.
Whenever playing as Silvia transformed, double jump into the airand rapidly press Punch. She will slowly fall to the groundwhile firing her gun. This is useful when facing multiple enemies.
Get the Blue Cool Kick power up. Then while in battle, use BlueCool Kick (while in the air, hold Down, and Kick).She will use a diagonal kick, then use Slo-mo, Replay, and Zoomin. This will do a lot of damage. Note: This works well againstBosses.
Hint: Defeating Dr. Cranken:
To defeat Dr. Cranken easily, use Sylvia. It is possibleto defeat him in the first part with Joe, but it is much easierto use Sylvia for the entire battle. Cranken has three main attacks.He will sprout three tentacle things from his back, and they willhave one of three things on them: drills, magnets, or buzz-saws.They will also appear in that order. Drills will stab at you,magnets will pull drills from the ceiling to fall on you, andbuzz-saws sweep across the floor and up in the air to hit you.On one of the tentacles will be a yellow ball. This is your target.Go Slow Mo and shoot it with Sylvia (or punch with Joe). Afterfour hits, the tentacles and Cranken's shield will break. Usethis chance to run up with Sylvia, go Slow Mo, then activate Replay,Zoom In, and Spin Kick all at once. You can get about three ofthose in. Repeat this quite a few times. When he gets to two lifebars, he starts to glow red. He will use his magnets to pull downabout four of the six pieces of ceiling, raises a column forcingyou jump over it, and makes avoiding the ceiling difficult. Hewill also call out three of the flying probes. After a few ofthose, he will pull out a drill/buzz-saw mix. Repeat what wasdoenbefore and hit the ball. After you take out his life bar,his body will explode and you will fight his head. You will haveto use Sylvia for this. He will be shooting drills, and ballswith be around his head. Hit the one that is glowing. Once youhit it, it will start moving around his head. Use Slow Mo andshoot. When his shield disappears, do your Slow/Zoom/Replay/Kick.Keep pressing Kick and you will kill him easily, becausehis defense is nothing in that form.
Hint: Defeating Frost Tiger:
To beat Frost Tiger, you must use Joe for the entirebattle. First, make Frost Tiger freeze one of the platforms. Gounder the platform, then he will also come down. Use Mach Speedand punch one of the pillars that are under the platform untilyou catch Mach Speed Fire. Then, let Frost Tiger come to you (orvice versa) and punch him. His aura will go away and he will jumpto the nearest pillar. If the pillar that he is on is unfrozen,he will freeze the platform. I you are in front of him, he willstart attacking you. Use Slo Mo to see his skull, because hisattacks are very fast. Keep dodging his Skull symbols until hestarts spinning, then use Red Dragon Kick (Red Hot Kick and ZoomIn). He will try to get his aura back. While he is getting that,use Red Dragon. Again. Keep doing this until he is defeated.
Hint: Defeating Ms. Bloody Rachel:
Ms. Bloody Rachel is your big replay against the bossesBig John, Flinty Stone, Camoleon, and Frost Tiger (in that order).There is no big change in their attacks, but their patterns areslightly different and HP is much higher. They are also yellownow.
Hint: Fire Leo and Frost Tiger:
Not only are Fire Leo (one of the Bosses from the originalViewtiful Joe) and Frost Tiger brothers and look alike,but they fight exactly the same except that Fire Leo goes in lavato get his aura back, while Frost Tiger grows his aura.
Hint: Reel 4: Lighting torches:
In Reel 4, there are three torch stands that need tobe lit towards the end of Scene 1. To do this, you must flareup as Joe using Mach Speed then switch to Sylvia. By switching,you will transfer the fire to Sylvia. Activate Replay and attackwith something that will activate the Replay action. There isanother set of six not too far from there. You must flare up asJoe, switch, and Replay/Zoom/Spin Kick to light them.
Hint: Slo Mo saves:
Use Slo Mo when enemies are about to attack you.
Hint: Hint: Viewtiful Joereferences:
There are three references to the original ViewtifulJoe in the same Act. Just before you are going to fight Alastor,he will recommend purchasing Viewtiful Joe at your localdiscount store. He will also take out a script like he did thefirst time and say the same exact line as in the first game. Thelast one is on both sides of Alastor. There are golden statuesresembling Gran Bruce, the third boss from the first game.
