It's a legitimate fight but you might be underlevelled. I don't recall the miracles unlocked from that one being anything special so feel free to save it for last. I recall having an easy time with ailments against that stack. You can confuse them all pretty easily.
Thanks! I also expected ailments to ease up the fight, but it would still be tedious with my current lineup (lvl 64 max). I will experiment with an Almighty team plus ailments then, will update here when I'm done. Edit: yeah with ailments applied the abcess did not last for long lol. I resorted to spamming Lullaby then attack the awake ones left.
The main reason this one ends up being rough is because of how the damage formula works when there's a large gap in levels between you and the opponent, or vice verse. If something is like 10 or more levels above you your damage drops off pretty dramatically even if the enemy has poor stats.
There are single target and multi target versions of all buff and debuff spells. Early game demons generally get the single target versions, but soon you’ll get the multis
Lol nevermind, the moment I posted this, I got to the end of the dungeon.
Nah, there's another dungeon but it's long and boring in my opinion. The design is so weak. Lots of empty corridors to dead ends and one of the floors goes on for so long lol.
I guess it's supposed to be a maze and designed as a throwback to old school SMT dungeons with dead ends and terrain puzzles. At least I'm relieved that Atlus did not went all the way to dig up old design elements, I still dread navigating around SMT II dungeons with teleporters, sliders, traps, one way walls and what not ... Regardless I also support open world design, I got a taste of it in Xeno and find it hard to comeback tbh ...
What was tales first and second week? Im just saying its the 3rd best opening in the series
With digital, it should have done way better than Nocturne.
That's because he is a Chad lol. His English VA is also really good.
I always found it weird how people hate it and find it repulsive. I think it's clever since it helps. Although I do find it funny lol.
Super Mario Odyssey is one of the earliest example on Switch I think (EPD even used 2d models for far-away objects). I guess Pokemon Legends Arceus would follow a similar principle and it makes sense tbh since far-away objects are barely noticeable to me anw.
Yeah, I don't mind dungeons per se, but at the very least make them interesting design-wise. The puzzles in the first one were alright, albeit a tad frustrating. Other than that, it was extremely bland, and three floors in, the second one isn't any better.
Yeah, I'll get to it before long, although I did get wrecked the first time (I was only level 55). I like the mini-challenges of the abscesses in Area 4, they give you some good puzzles and situations to figure out with several of them
They don't always, no, but it does seem like it's not completely random either. Bosses seem to be 'sometimes smart' or something along those lines, probably because if they were literally 100% spot-on with reading and using weaknesses/avoiding absorbs that'd be a little bit bullshit
At least for Magatsuhi skills, I think bosses only use a fixed pattern so far regardless of what Null shield you raise for your comp. My strategy is just to use Spyglass then odd out the skills bosses use normally, leaving their potential Magatsuhi skill in the following order: multi-target skills, then unique skills.
I see. I didn't notice a turn order, but maybe I wasn't paying attention or maybe I'm too early in the game. Thanks for the tips.
Oof...
This area takes forever to clear lol. Still missing some chests there.
Ah well, lesson learned. Nice to play an RPG that doesn’t pull its punches, I’d forgotten that it was game over if the MC is KO’d (I think the last SMT I played didn’t have that), and the demon managed to hit his weakpoint for a straight-up instant kill. I just laughed.
