Lacrima Castle _ Riviera Game Help _ Help getting CG
Posted by: Rune_Ocarina Jul 17 2007, 04:15 AM
I've been trying to unlock CG 21, where Lina seems to be yelling at Serene about something. I'm guessing you get it when you enter the ruins before Cierra joins your party. I've tried several options in the root rooms while passing the sleeping demon and the room with the magic locked treasure chest. Does anyone know what to do?

I thought it was automatic? I don't remember doing anything specific for that CG...
Make a back-up save, and keep on playing, you might not be far enough yet.

I've made several backup, one at the beginning of the level, one on right when you enter the ruins, and one when you first see the magic locked chest.

Well here the scenes I'm guess it to be. They all contain Lina and Serene arguing. Yep kinda weird spoilering text but still... It could be spoilers.... or not... (http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/gbadvance/file/921257/46447)
Wiese Forest Screen 05 at Chest
Tree Hollow Screen 1 at Tree
Royal Tomb Screen 4
Posted by: Rune_Ocarina Jul 18 2007, 01:55 AM
I've tried everyone of those except the Royal Tomb one, making my way there; but I thought the CG collection went in order, so I was sure you would get it before Cierra joined the party.
I also noticed that I don't have CG 23, even though I've completed that forest several times already. I'd be ok with this if it did something like CG 13 and gave me a complete different CG I haven't gotten to yet, but I didn't get any replacements. I have CG 24 though...anyone else getting the same thing?
Posted by: aerozero Jul 18 2007, 04:13 AM
Is that CG the one where Cierra is getting chewed out by Serene for leading them into the shortcut? Cause I'm missing that one too, and I got the Aran Doll CG as well...
Posted by: Rune_Ocarina Jul 18 2007, 04:35 AM
I wonder how someone's supposed to complete most of the CG collection like this >_<

Wait until you get to the 2nd bath scene PSP mini game challenge, I think it's impossible.
I'll probably post a topic on the Atlus boards about the CG bug and see if I get a response.

It's possible, if it's the same as the Jap version then all I need to use are my index and middle fingers to slam the buttons fast enough. Sadly, I was rewarded with a black screen back then.
Posted by: aerozero Jul 18 2007, 05:45 AM
Hmmmm...I'll try that, time keeps running out for me when there are 4 bars left. Sucks that you were rewarded with a black screen XD
Posted by: zesler Jul 20 2007, 01:26 PM
Actually, I think this is it. I'm overlooking things a bit and remembered this.
Wiese Forest Scene 6
Posted by: Feral Phoenix Jul 24 2007, 10:13 PM
Rune: In the Japanese version they took the bath scene CGs out, so obviously you just got a black screen.
And yes, the CG in question should be the one at the entrance to the main dungeon; whether it's the scene where Serene flies over the blocks and Lina thinks that's cheating or the scene where they get back from the Lost Forest and Serene calls her a kid, I'm not sure (as I don't have the game yet).
Look at the background; that should've told you that much.

I think he knows that Feral...
Posted by: Rune_Ocarina Jul 25 2007, 07:35 AM
If I find how to get it, I'll post it here. I'm bound to get lucky and get the right scene requirements - though I was pretty sure I did everything I could to get it.

Sorry for necro posting, but has anyone confirmed which scene unlocks the Lina/Serene CG? I've gotten to the ruin entrance with the block skipping scene, but I haven't seen it.
Posted by: Feral Phoenix Feb 4 2008, 06:13 PM
I'm pretty sure it's where you tell Serene that it's cheating to fly, but I haven't done my Lina save yet so I don't know for certain.

No, I selected all three options and I still didn't get the CG. Has anyone actually gotten this CG at all?
Posted by: aerozero Feb 5 2008, 08:03 PM
I think I have.
Posted by: grgspunk Feb 6 2008, 04:57 AM
I think I have.
So, uhh... How'd you get it?
Posted by: aerozero Feb 6 2008, 06:17 AM
I have no idea >_>
Posted by: Rhiannon Feb 6 2008, 09:02 AM
Blame Atlus for somehow messing up the CGs. :( I have like two CGs that I shouldn't have, and I DON'T have a CG that I SHOULD have.
Posted by: grgspunk Feb 7 2008, 07:58 PM
Are you saying it's going to be impossible to get certain CGs...?
Posted by: Rhiannon Feb 7 2008, 08:09 PM
I don't know if it's possible or not. But there's something very messed up about the CGs in the English version, so Feral might actually be right about what triggers the CG.
Posted by: grgspunk Feb 8 2008, 04:39 AM
I think I have.
Just to make sure, you have this CG in your collection, right?
Anyways, I'm not sure if Feral is correct, because I've tried out all three responses in that block skipping scene, but I haven't unlocked the CG. I also wonder, has anyone with the Japanese copy gotten this CG without any problems?
Posted by: Feral Phoenix Feb 8 2008, 07:32 PM
The glitched images--retrieval is in a cycle--the first scene where you visit the Elder, the scene with Fia praying (with the spell that sounds suspiciously like Pamela's invisibility spell... >_>;;), the scene where Ein gets yelled at by the girls in chapter 6, and the scene where Ein gets yelled at for ogling the angel statue's breasts in chapter 4. These are in order; by getting, say, Fia's CG, you unlock the chapter 6 CG and so on.
There might be another glitch cycle, but I'm unaware of it. The CGs are displayed in the game, but don't show up in the Extra Contents.
Posted by: aerozero Feb 8 2008, 07:58 PM
Yeah, I have that one:
Like I said, I've no idea how I got it. I haven't played Riviera in a while, I haven't even beaten the PSP version yet.

hi all, just passed by and wanted to comment on obtaining the serene and lina cg. from my experience, i think you have to cut the big mushroom and fight the mantraps in the forest first. later, at the start of area 3-3, lina will comment on how the ruins are crappy because it's the passage of time and serene will tease her about it, which will net you the cg.
i concluded that this is probably the way to obtain the cg since i reached area 3-3 once without cutting the mushroom and i didnt get the cg that time. hope this helps.
Posted by: Feral Phoenix Apr 8 2008, 05:18 PM
Hmmmm. This may actually be it... I've never heard Serene pick on Lina after she says the ruins are crappy (that's usually the end of the scene), so you may have something here. :D I'll check this out on my next save (I'm already past that point now).
Posted by: Astraea Apr 9 2008, 02:46 AM
I still haven't gotten that cg as well. I'm gonna go and try drag10's method and let you know if it works.
Also, does anyone know how to unlock the cg with Lina and a squirrel? That's before the battle with Lindwurm, I believe, but I haven't unlocked it on my first try.
Posted by: Feral Phoenix Apr 9 2008, 05:18 PM
I know you have to find the squirrel in the first screen and that the CG is in either 3-7 or 3-8. I also know that the squirrel is an optional item and that you can give it to any of the girls, but that Lina is the only one with a CG.
I don't know how you get the squirrel, though. I'll start a new topic to ask. :/
Posted by: Astraea Apr 11 2008, 01:44 AM
Okay, I confirmed that drag10's method works. Also, I don't know if it helps but I asked Lina to get the sinking chest on the swamp, and selected "Who cares..." on the ruins entrance.
Posted by: drag10 Apr 13 2008, 12:25 AM
i think the sinking chest won't have any bearing on the cg conditions, since i just went for the big mushroom while ignoring the chest.
Posted by: Astraea Apr 14 2008, 01:38 AM
Okay ^_^
Thanks for the heads up on this cg!
Posted by: Feral Phoenix May 31 2008, 08:25 PM
It's only the mushroom-cutting scene that you need--I confirmed it last night. Thx drag10.
Posted by: drag10 Jun 4 2008, 03:12 PM
no prob. btw, regarding the glitched cgs, anyone knows which cg is mixed up with the four seasons forest cg (where ein is checking the sign while serene is getting ticked off with cierra)? i've entered the forest and didn't get the cg.
