Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk2 ~Let's All Help Each Other Out~

[lordryo]

I do believe there was an older thread regarding assistance with the game, however it wasn't very organized. Similarly to when the first game was released, I predict dozens of new threads popping up daily all of which ask the same question. I'm hoping this time around people actually notice this thread and refer here for any and all help. We'll all share our Neptunia knowledge with one another to help out those new to the game, or anyone who has a general question.

Like with the original Neptunia Help thread, I'll be updating this post with the answers to any questions asked. This should eliminate the hassle of searching for specific questions throughout multiple pages and the annoyance of redundant questioning.

Ouch... that hurt, Ryo. D:
j/k

But yeah, my thread for "Neptune Mk2" wasn't all that organized, stuff got in the way and by the time I remembered everyone had stopped using the thread. Lol

Didn't I make the original one?
Ah well, this should be very helpful indeed ~
First Question, why is Uni so adorable?
EDIT
That was a joke question xD

Anyway, since my memory is horribad, about how much of the game till you can have Uni on your team for good?

EDIT2
It appears you made a thread after I made a thread. Still haven't found my thread. It's hard to find in all the many topics...

@vamp:

Spoiler:

I think she joins your party at the very end of chapter 4.

/haven't played mk2 in who knows how long, so feel free to correct me ~

[Shikan Raider]

To correct Aph

Spoiler:

At the end of chapter 3.

I knew you'd be the first one to post here Mizu.

But yeah, no offense, I also figured a new thread would draw the attention of new members more than a pre-existing thread would.

Nope, it was in fact me who made the original thread.

bout how much of the game till you can have Uni on your team for good?

The exact chapter escapes my mind at the moment, but Uni is the first character to join your party, and she does so early on.

[vampko]

Good to know ~

And I don't think I''ll ever find the thread. I remember we discussed a bunch of stuff, but it wasn't specifically a 'help thread'. Though, it was there to help people. It was before the game even released here. Ah well.

You all know me too well ~

None taken. ;3

I was actually going to suggest a new thread if someone hadn't made one within the next week. I sure as heck wasn't going to revive my old thread, it's too 'unorganized' and spoiler infested. xD

I haven't read the old thread since it's hard to imagine without actually playing the game first. Now that I have a couple hours into it, things start to get familiar and I'd like to know a couple things.

There are several endings to the game, are those going to be based on land shares again like in the first game? For those whose seen those endings, did you make a save file at some chapter before branching out the possible endings, or did you start NG+ and play all over again from the start for those endings?

My friend said land shares and Lily Rank somehow play some roles into it. So what I'm doing now basically do all the Quests where Arfoire is losing shares for the other lands. I try to avoid quests that take away Planeptune, Lastation, Lowee, and Leanbox shares at the moment - although they would help me level up. Basically what I'd like to know is if there's a specific road map, things I should be conscious about. Or if everything can be fixed later on with doing quests repetitively to alter the land shares.

^ Yes, I'm wondering the same and, one more thing...

Spoiler:

How exactly do you unlock all the CPUs? (at once?) I'm here doin my 2nd playthrough... and only got neptune now, so meh.

Yes, the endings are based on land shares and Lily rank. There is a point where you can create a save before the branching paths occur. However, each ending has an exclusive CG image related to it, continuously reloading will result in a completed CG gallery spread throughout multiple saves. If that doesn't bother you then you'll find that to be the fast and easiest method to achieving all of the endings.

Basically what I'd like to know is if there's a specific road map, things I should be conscious about. Or if everything can be fixed later on with doing quests repetitively to alter the land shares.

What you'll want to do is focus on 1 ending at a time. It should be non-spoilerific to say a Planeptune ending will demand that Planeptune's shares dominate. So realistically there isn't a need for the other landmasses to have high share values, so take away anything you can as long as it increases Planeptune shares. You may however have to increase another landmass' share in order to continue increasing Planeptune's shares. But over all the shares feature is pretty simple, people shouldn't have the problem they had with the first game.

Spoiler:

Neptune joins as part of the story at the end of chapter 5. The remaining goddesses will join you once their respective landmass has reached 55% shares for their region. Continue doing quests for each region until you achieve 55%, then view that goddesses chirper event and she'll automatically join your party.

Thanks, lordryo. It didn't occur to me the simple fact that reloading saves would do that. Now that I think about it, I recall there was a trophy that wants us to max out all of the characters (to lv 99), so it would be best to start over and keep leveling.

If we are free to visit any location and any dungeons, it seems there's nothing "missable" this time around - such as the Beastiary completion like in the first game. And that's not even required in mk2. From what I understand, almost everything is much easier and self-explanatory as far as 100% game completion.

Spoiler:

What I don't know yet is how to achieve all of the endings (about 8 of them?)... besides the goddesses endings, there are also True ending, Normal ending, "Makers" ending, and "Ruling" ending, so hopefully there's more info on that once more players spend a lot of time with the game.

Here's a basic question. Can someone explain what Lily Rank is? I feel like I'm supposed to know about it at this point, yet I don't quite get it. The tutorial mentioned something about how Lily Rank is determined by how you interact with your party members, time spend in dungeons and in battles with them. I also remember that someone with low Lily Rank can't participate in certain Item Synth... what? I guess that's where I'm confused >>;

Actually, after completing all of the endings, I'd personally take whatever save you had the highest level characters on and continue from there. It's rather easy to level your characters late in the game and the bonus DLC dungeons give out massive experience, you'll reach level 99 in no time.

I'll post info on how to achieve all the endings later, I'm currently at work.

A character's Lily rank increases as you use that character in battle and view chirper events featuring that character. Certain items become available for synthesis when you reach a certain Lily rank with certain characters, but that's the extent of any relation between Lily rank and item systhesis.

How many hidden treasures are there in each dungeon?
