You ready to hate yourself? Well, here you go, the important details on the end of Loop 2.
Now, what the game manual isn't clear on:
- Each Zone contains a single Chaos Emerald. In other words, you can't just go through consecutive acts to get the Chaos Emeralds.
- You need to collect 7 Special Rings in a single Act.
Yeah. That's why it sucks. For what it's worth, at the very least, when you get a Chaos Emerald, it
auto-saves. So, you don't need to clear the Zone to have it saved. You can just quit, reset, go to the next zone.
