Hint option in Mountain of Faith

First thing you need to do is to check if in the game folder you have a folder named “hint” that contains a file called hint_auto.txt. 

If not, please create the path for the file. Inside the .txt file you should have something similar to this (it might not look exactly how mine looks, because this unedited file is from the trial):

# =================== # 東方風神録　攻略ヒントファイル # # このファイルは、自動的に生成、上書きされます # 自分で攻略ヒントを構成したい場合は、別のファイルを使用してください # #                                Time-stamp: <2007/05/08 12:48:17 zun>

Version = 0.0

# =================== Stage : 1

StageEnd

Between Stage: 1 and StageEnd you put the lines for personalization of warnings.

Stage : 1

Tips Remain : 15 Text : "Caution!" Pos : 42, 357 Count : 242 Base : start Align : center Time : 90 Alpha : 255 Color : 255, 128, 128 Scale : 1.0 End

StageEnd

You can put several warnings in a stage. Pay attention to be between Stage: X and StageEnd commands. 

To have warnings in different stages you do “StageEnd” to end warnings for previous stage and then begin a new row with 

# =================== Stage : 2

Then you write the same stuff Tips, Remain etc., End. and StageEnd. After you set things up, go to Options -> Hint ON.

After you turn on the option, you should see during your gameplay some warnings such as:

You can play with the customization options and edit text, colour of text, transparency, size, position, time when it appears on screen, time that it stays on screen. You can set it to appear during regular stage, set Base: start, but you can set it to appear during midboss or boss, both nonspells and spells, set Base: mboss_1, Base: mboss_2, Base: mboss_card_1,  Base: boss_2, Base: boss_card_1, just play with the options and see what each of them affects the warning. You can set other numbers than 1 and 2 on boss and midboss things.

In Mountain of Faith, if you view a replay of a stage for which you haven’t unlocked the stage practice yet, that particular stage will be unlocked. This way, you can get to practice stage 6 even though you don’t 1cc the game or can practice higher difficulties. Just watch a replay of your desired stage before.

During her spellcard Wound Sign "Pain Flow" Hina fires additional bullets if you go to the upper part of the screen.

Suwako Moriya’s second spellcard safespot.

[touhou-memories]

Before Suwako’s first nonspell, place yourself above her (be sure not to go to the bottom of the screen too early because the trick won’t work then). 

If you do this her first spellcard will be bugged and you will have lots of space to dodge the round bullets.

Clear Mountain of Faith fast

Use Marisa B unfocused and be sure when you reach a boss you have your power level between 3.00 and 3.95.

Marisa B will kill bosses rapidly and you will get a spellcard bonus if you don’t die or bomb.

This way, you can 1cc on Nomal without any problems and unlock the Extra stage!

This trick works on any difficulty and can also help you clear the Extra stage.
