ITEM
CRASH |
Each Special Weapon in Circle of the Moon has an Item Crash. Item Crashes are extra powerful moves which usually affect the entire screen and use up between 8 and 40 hearts at a time plus 4 MP. Item Crashes are done using the Pluto + Salamander DSS and a specific sequence on the Directional Pad. The sequence is Down, Down-Forward, Forward, Forward-Up, Up-Forward, Up + Attack. Further explanation of each Crash follows:
 Axe Crash |
Nathan floats in the air while a circle of 8
Axes spirals out from him to the ends of the screen. |
 Dagger Crash |
Nathan throws a rapid-fire volley of
Daggers directly in front of him. Nathan can change the direction of his
volley by hitting left or right. The Dagger Item Crash can be interrupted
by pushing the Jump button. This uses 20 hearts and each hit does 1/10 of the whip's damage. |
 Holy Cross (Cross Item Crash) |
Nathan hovers in mid-air while a column of
Crosses spiral around him. (This Item Crash affects only the area of the
screen where the column of Crosses is in action. It does not cause any
sort of white flash at the end to cause more damage across the screen as
it did in Symphony of the Night.) The Holy Cross Item Crash uses 15 hearts and does damage equal to the whip. |
 Hydro Storm (Holy Water Item Crash) |
Nathan pushes his fist into the air as an
extended "acid" rain of holy water descends upon the enemies over the
entire screen. This Crash lasts a long time. The Hydro Storm Item Crash uses 20 hearts and does 1/5 of the whip's damage for each hit, yet it lasts long enough and covers enough of the screen to make up for its damage. |
 Watch Crash |
The Watch Item Crash causes four stop
watches to float in the air, each one taking its turn counting down from 9
to 0. This freezes on screen enemies for a long time. |
