VEXX TIPS & TRICKS
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.
Powerful attack
When doing the Square(3) 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.
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.
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.
