Which one should I buy?

[Nelo Assholo]

Okay, I'm on DMD and I've raised 6'345 red orbs - That's just the right amount to buy either a bottle of Holy Water or an Untouchable Star, but I can't decide which one to buy! I'm on Showdown With Nightmare, and either of them would do me a huge favour, but I don't know which would help more. Holy Water is extremely powerful and will come in handy when Nightmare goes critical, and Untouchable will allow me to unleash my most powerful DT attacks on Nightmare when it goes critical without having to think about damage or how long the Star will last! Please help! I'll make it a poll, and the one with the most votes will be the one I buy. Oh and I've also got enough money to buy a blue orb if that would be better. (It's on sale for 5'500 orbs - I hate it when some things get more expensive as you buy more of them).

F-uck it, I beat Nightmare now... thanks to a certain Untouchable.

Event hough it's too late I would personally take the untouchable.
If I remember correctly, Holy Water only deals much damage when you are near the enemy.(Afaik)
Untouchable is also usefull in any kind of situation.If the enemy still got a bunch of energy and you have little energy left, then a Holy water is almost completely useless.

Personally I save and don't use any of the holy waters, untouchables, etc until I get to Mundus 2, since that's the only one that is any bother.

Also did you know you can collect various untouchables from various points in the game without having to buy them? I can't remember them all, but here's a few locations:

1. Up at the top of that area before where you fight Nelo for the first time. Jump up from where the locked door is (don't go down or you'll trigger the cutscene) Wall hike away from the little tower with the blue orb piece inside. There's a little area high up where you can stand around. Collect the U.T. from there. I think that's actually the area where Nelo is standing in the cutscene before he jumps down to you.

2. After the ship floods with water and you have to swim out, there is an untouchable somewhere...I can't remember where precisley, but I just went around pressing X until I collected.

3. After the sky gets dark, go back to the area where you first got the ifrit gauntlets. Jump up the platforms again and an UT should be where the ifrits once were.

4. After opening up the painting portals for the first time on that bridge area, go in the red bedroom one first. There's an untouchable in that room.

5. That area where you once fought Nightmare 3. It's hidden somewhere in that room.

Most helpful for later in the game.

A little late but I voted for 'Untouchable Star'. I didn't find Holy Water's to be particulary effective against Nightmare.

 

[d4rkn1ght]

i use a little of Untouchable in Nelo Angelo and the Nightmare

 

[Dark Elf]

Untouchable is good choice... Too bad there is no untouchables in DMC 3

 

[Nelo Assholo]

Looks like the Untouchables win it FTR.

 

[Dark Elf]

Holy water is good thing, but on DMD it's better to buy untouchable. Don't you think?

 

[Nelo Assholo]

Yes. I still lost when I tried Holy Water out on Nightmare on DMD!, when I tried Untouchable, I turned Nightmare from a mental machine to a junkyard mixed in with sludge.

 

[Dark Elf]

The strange thing is that I killed Nightmare on DMD much faster than on hard. WTF?!

 

[Nelo Assholo]

You must've had more power ups or you found a better way to destroy it... dunno, happened with me as well.

 

[Dark Elf]

Or I just learned the way of killing him

 

[d4rkn1ght]

or u used Untouchable to kill him

 

[Dark Elf]

Nah, I didn't used any Untouchables or HW
