Will go check the "Oh and we found a good stockpile of hidden ones, on the beach where the lifeguard buildings are, go on the rocks past that closer to the boss and there is a cave with 4 of them in and around it." thingy, I don't remember that place.

You know the beach near the ferris wheel, well head up that towards the yellow bosses house where you fight him down on the shore.  As you head there you will se a couple large rock formations, and an arch in the middle, one is under the arch, then if your facing the water the rocks on the left in the middle has a tunnel in it, there are a few routes in it, go down all of them and you should find 3or4 more.  Also if you back track to the life guard buildings you should see a walkway tunnel on the shore behind the resteraunt, theres 1 more in there.  These are all hidden ones though.

My last few agility were the volk rocket lady, on top of the 2 red towers coming into her base.  there is also a hidden up there on the rocks next to the left tower.

Post by: pingrr on February 26, 2007, 06:39:00 AM
I think I still have well over 100 orbs left.  I really don;t think I will be able to find them all.
Title: Anyone Made 500 Orbs?
Post by: Knasen on February 26, 2007, 11:34:00 AM
After 5 more hours of searching today I found 2 more agility orbs and are now up to 499... sooooo near, but I think I will mever find that last one. I have searched all areas so many times now, and getting kind of tired of doing it. Would suck so much to not find the last one.... must.. search...just...a...little....more....

edit: A tip for you other people searching.. I realized that many of the orbs I find now near the 500 mark is not orbs being on high places, but rather the opposite, it's those orbs on ground level or maybe one story up on a balcony/ledge or similar. Must be because you dont notice them that easy when running around on the roofs all the time. I took a trip around the whole map coastline and the close surroundings and also ran around on the streets looking at the houses and found some orbs I had missed before.

I'm only about 360/500 and 70/300 so far.

Few tips to help you find them.

Listen for the orbs!!! When your within about 5-10 feet of an orb you can hear an odd humming like sound. I found a few of these strictly by doing this.

Try to look around when you jump, especially what your jumping over. In the mountains there were a few hidden orbs I hadn't seen the first time and had just jumped right over them.

Think of where you would hide them. Last night I saw a smoke stack in the factory area I was in. I figured there probably wouldn't be one in the smoke stack, but figured I'd put one there if I was a dev, so I checked it and there was one there. They were also in another 2 stacks I found too.

 laugh.gif  I've still got plenty left to get and they already seem like they are getting hard to find.

I got 388 right after I finished the single player mode.  The only way to look is at night.  It just makes it sooo much easier.  Usually when you do the rooftop races, there are a few.  Damn this game gets more fun as you play.

Wohoooo , finally found the last agility orb!! I am so happy  biggrin.gif

It's kind of funny, I was beginning to think about stop searching but gave it a shot today again and after ~15 minutes of searching through the same area that I know I have been into alot before I suddenly saw the last orb up in an antenna on a roof. It's weird because im pretty sure I have checked that roof like 342342 times before but not seen it then. Anyway, I'm really glad now.

Hey,

How do I get the one on the top of the giant glass globe in the Shai-Gen District?  Tried climbing the outside but no luck yet.  If I get that one, I only need 2 more.

Post by: PENiX on March 29, 2007, 12:48:00 PM
C3R3ALKILLA you're logic is right on.

I'm in the 460's- but not positive.

I dunno if i want to strain my eyes looking at the guide, but i already played it for like 20 hours or something rediculous... So might wanna just get the microscope out.

491...I too get excited when I see some

I usually find them in groups in places that I hardly ever go.  Almost there though!

Post by: 47_M450N_47 on April 09, 2007, 09:55:00 AM
I think I'm at about 492 or 493, I'm pretty sure the only ones I have left are somewhere in the Shai Gen area.  There are a few amazingly high buildings I haven't been on top of yet.
Title: Anyone Made 500 Orbs?
Post by: Tripme on April 14, 2007, 06:31:00 PM
Finally got it just a few minutes ago...it took a while to find the last one.  It was a damn obvious one to, I had just run past in like 6 times trying to max out my stats (which I just did too smile.gif ).

I got 500 agility long ago, but I'm still on 299 hidden  mad.gif

Then I read this today and got happy again:
"Easier Orb Hunting: Imagine how great it would be if when searching for the last remaining hidden agility orbs the audio range on each of them got wider as fewer remained; well imagine no longer.  Audio ”ping” range is now gradually increased when searching for the last 50 percent of hidden orbs, and 20 percent of agility orbs." Taken from Major Nelsons blog btw.

Now I should be able to just run around in each are and hopefully I will hear the last hidden orb from miles away  biggrin.gif

Anyone already updated the game and have experienced how much the audio range increase ? I mean do I still need to be really near, or how far can I be to hear it ? Anyone got experience on this ?

I just got 500 and 300 today.  And the range is really increased.  I know with my last hidden orb I was like half a block away.  Took me forever to narrow it down.

Stuck on 299 out of 300 hidden and 499 out of 500 agility! I am close to tears beleive me.

I dont know what upsets me more, the fact im so close or the amount of time I have wasted trying to find these last 2 orbs.

To be honest I'm not sure I have it in me to go through the map again, I am soooo close but the boredom of looking for these have really killed off any of the enjoyment i was getting from this game really. Cant beleive after the hours I have put into this game I am just coming away with 820 gamer points, its all wrong I tell ya!
