** The Gencore Solar Shield, added in ''Tyrian 2000'', does not draw power from your generator to recharge, but by the time it is available, there is another shield available that gives you the same protection for just over half the price, and the drain on the generator isn't really an issue except with constant-fire weapons like the Lightning Cannon and Zica Flamethrower. Leaving the Lightning Cannon at Level 9 mitigates its lack of spread but nerfs its damage. This is not helped by the fact that the Mega Pulse is cheaper and usually available for purchase ''before'' the Lightning Cannon. ** The full-power Lightning Cannon emits a dazzling stream of opaque lightning and is relatively powerful, but the power it drains is colossal (even the most powerful generator in the game, the Gravitron Pulse-Wave, cannot recharge fast enough if it is used alongside other energy-draining weapons such as the Zica Flamethrower), higher than the Level 2 or 5 Mega Pulse, and it is often less effective than the Level 11 Mega Pulse due to its lack of spread. The Atomic, your front gun in Super Tyrian mode, also falls into this category as well, more so given that the ]. They look and sound very nice, and most of them can deliver splash damage, but they often do a lot less damage than cheaper and easier-to-find weapons such as the Pulse Cannon that you start out with. * ]: Compared to the American box art at the top of this article, the Australian box art, viewable ], has a darker palette, and shows a ship in the shape of a Gencore Phoenix/Maelstrom with more realistic proportions from a low angle, giving the viewer a full view of the ordnance it's carrying, while it has just launched a missile and its guns are blazing, complete with smoke and muzzle flash effects. ] ], a in-universe as its shielding being disrupted by a gravity field, thus when systems are activated, it draws a lot of power from the shields. ]ĭeveloped by Eclipse Productions (now World Tree Games) and published in 1995 by Epic Megagames (now Creator/EpicGames), ''Tyrian'' is an addictive VerticalScrollingShooter.

I don't think a sub-hour time is possible I think a time of roughly 1:02:00 would be possible with no deaths and fast bosses on NG+. GOOD LUCK to anyone running this fantastic game If you can make any improvements, missing levels, typos, or optimizations please comment with ideas, and I'll edit. O.O that's problematic, because generator is what regenerates your shields. Shout out to firefyte for showing me HIS version of the "shopping list" - as well as which levels are faster when given choices.Īlso, I seem to be missing a generator upgrade in here somewhere. I still prefer fireball at level 4 to anything other than max sonic though. since a max upgraded Sonic is better than Fireball. The one change I'd recommend is possibly changing from Fireball (rear) to Sonic once you can have it max upgraded. This is a VERY incomplete guide I made on the fly going through once - it's the strategies I used in my run. I'm putting this on Forum instead of GUIDES because guides don't let you comment.
