Powerful attack
When doing the [Square]x3 combo, press the buttons
slowly and the third attack will be a ground piercing attack that
you can follow up with an uppercut by pressing [Square].
If you hold [Square] on the third hit, Vexx will power up
for a more powerful attack, and his uppercut will send him into
the air.
Super move
Use combos to increase the super move meter in the
top right corner. After it is flashing, press [R1] to execute
a super move.
Faster consecutive long jumps
Press [L1] + [X], and as soon as Vexx lands
from the long jump, press [L1] + [X] again to go faster.
Everlasting slash
To perform this move, continuously press [Square].
Alternate ending
Go to Timberdale. Go to the sundial. Set it to either
of the golden dots (sunrise or sunset). Quickly get back to the
hub and enter the Shadowrealm. The ending sequence will be different,
with Vexx will flipping off Yabu.
Extra lives
On occasion, if you knock an enemy off into a bottomless
pit or well, the combo counter in the right hand corner will continue
to grow. If this happens, go around and do a half-decent air juggle
to receive extra lives. It is possible to score 2,500 and get
over 10 extra lives.
Quick save
If you found a diary page or an extra life and need
a quick way to save but cannot find a new heart, do not collect
a heart you previously acquired. Instead, go to Darby's house
on Timberdale. Teleport into the picture and pick up the Crimson
Key. This works with the Air Suit, but Timberdale is quicker.
Cow Suit
In Timber Dale, there is a hut hidden behind trees.
The trees are metallic, and if you uppercut them, they will clang.
if you go behind them and into the hut, there will be a cow. Uppercut
it and you will have the Cow Suit. Note: When you uppercut the
five metal trees, you will also have a choice of either the Cow
Suit, Fly Suit, or Rock Suit.
Fly Suit
In Dragons Reach (level 2), climb up the dragon's tail.
Continue climbing until you reach the yellow poles on the slippery
ground. Climb the first and jump to the others. On the last one,
turn to your left and try to do a long jump to a small platform
with a jump pad on it. You will be rocketed over to the plateau.
Walk around it. The fly suit is on the other side. Note that the
jump to the jump pad may require some adjustments on your part.
Rock Suit
After the Talon's tutorial, when the blind guy wakes
you up, jump to the column in the middle that has fire on it,
but do not touch the fire. After that, arrange yourself so that
you are on the left side facing the exit. Hop into the fire, and
rocket yourself out to the left. Proceed towards the blue rings.
You will be teleported to the red tapestry. Climb to the top of
it and grab the red disk. Afterwards, jump off either side to
exit the tapestry.
Pirate ship game in the below
In the pirate ship game with the three pirates from
the belly of the large beast, it is easier to not try to change
the colors of the squares yourself. Instead, watch the board and
let the cannonballs do the work for you.
Sundial portal in Daggercrag
In Daggercrag, once you adjust the sundial, go to the
base with the ring full of enemies. Climb the second pole to the
right and you should find a sundial portal. Go through it if you
see another world in it. Note: Be careful, as this stage is extremely
tricky.
Extra life in Tempest Peak Manor
Go to the table with the goblets of red and green goo.
Get on top of the one with the red goo and wooden spoon. Climb
up the handle of the wooden spoon. Jump up and down a few times
on the end of the spoon and red goo will pop out, revealing an
extra life.
Enter Dragonreach Sandcastle
Inside of the castle in Timberdale, get to the part
with the long narrow pathways in the air. Once you get to the
jumping part, drop off the edge to land on a small platform. Jump
to the other platform and do a pulse-jump below the shiny spot.
You should hit a button that will open a door underneath the normal
path. You can dangle from the bottom of the path and climb through
the door. You will then be inside the Dragonreach Sandcastle.
Defeating Sumo
Do jump moves or wait for Sumo to do a racer crash
and dodge it, Slice his back and he will fall off the circle to
his doom.
Defeating Yabu
After you enter the Shadowrealm and defeat the Shadowwraiths,
Yabu will transform into a spider demon. He is very dangerous
in this form. After he does the double punch, his face will be
at the ground. Slash your talons at his face, then run under his
legs while he is dizzy. Then, do an uppercut to his rear. He will
flip over on his back. Go to his rear again and do a ground smash,
then rapidly circle his body doing the long jump. Repeat this
until he is defeated.
Avoid falling damage
When falling from a great height and about to take
damage, perform the Ground Pound attack just before you hit the
ground. If timed correctly, it will break your fall and you will
not sustain any damage.
