why can i not kill the ghasts after killing milon? i've tried pretty much every way possible between physical and magic, and i can't seem to hurt them.
Keep in mind that while they have high magic defense, the Ghasts still have the same elemental properties.
this is me right now, by the way:
i'm on mt. ordeals and (obviously) not yet a paladin.
tella just joined at lv. 34! pretty cool.
err... i just ran into a group of 2 souls, 2 zombies, and 2 revenants. a little bit into it, a message came up from an officer to attack. is that on purpose, like the souls are ordering the zombies, et al? cause if it is, that's really fucking cool.
hmm... so the editor has it wrong then? i'm just reciting what i read in zyr's new(er) editor. i'm not insinuating you're wrong, god knows i trust you over the editor, but how much is the difference between the 2? attack power over 2 means the attack still needs to be multiplied out, so it won't necessarily be 1/2 of the normal damage, right? whereas dam/4 is just that?
also, while i'm on the subject, i've only ever run into evil palom solo, never evil porom. i've seen them together a few times, but porom never shows up alone. is that just a fluke?
what are the other wizard helm advantages? i didn't see anything except dmg/4 from undead? is that what you're referring to?
one of the evil twins just hit me with virus and it did 30 dmg on average. can you bump their stats up a bit? this would be super cool if they were tougher. burst just hit me for 31. yeah, they definitely need a boost.
also, granted it's more of a girl thing, but why can't palom equip the tiara? it boosts wisdom by 10, so he could use it. unless, of course, that's exactly why he can't use it. between it and the black robe, his wisdom goes up by, what, 15? that's a lot for this part of the game. plus, it gives a nice def. boost. and he does have the wizard helm as an option, too, but then again so does porom.
i think i have the evil twins straightened out now. evil palom has the orange cape, while evil porom has the green cape, right?
also, i just noticed that porom comes with stone. why is stone a white magic spell? not that i mind at all, i think it's great! i just thought it's odd to have an id spell in the white category. although, rydia has magic fists... and it's nice that porom has some good offense for the time being. she's usually pretty worthless as soon as you get her. although, once she learns cure2, she's much more worthwhile. that and a bow, and she contributes a fair amount. actually, in this case, i can give her a headband(instead of gaea) to get some more damage out of her...
err... evil twin... hmm... ok. here goes... this ought to be interesting.
ooooohhh... they drop niiiice things. also, though, he didn't really do very much during the battle. evilpalom casted mute on actual palom, cure3-ed himself twice, and didn't do much after that. it was kinda disappointing.
shield bonus? it's +5 to str and -5 to everything else. i have one on cecil right now, but everyone else is fine without one.
or am i forgetting about something?
ooooh, wait, now i know. you mean the late-game shields and their bonuses to evasion, etc? right?
btw, it's not something i've ever thought about before, but now i am: is edward's harp a back row weapon? i've never stopped to consider it before, cause i never cared, but now that info will be mighty handy.
well, i did quite a bit of leveling. rydia is at lv. 24, cecil is at 25, and ed is at 23. i'm just about to kill the antlion. hopefully that was enough levels through fabul...
btw, the edward fight is fucking cool.
wow, white arrows are HANDY on mt. hobs. i usually never hang on to them, but i decided to try something different this time around. certainly glad i did. rosa just hit a skeleton for 1002 damage when aim-ing with one.
i like the changes to mombomb, the battle is more challenging and fun like that. i managed it on my first try. actually, the grinding is a bit more enjoyable now, too, since the monsters sometimes drop actually useful things!
also, i got a few firetraps from some skeletons, and one of those really helped with making sure i got yang at full hp for the mombomb fight. very cool.
btw, did you do anything to edward's weapons? he seems to inflict charm/sleep constantly as opposed to on occasion.
hmm, i think i know what the cursed shield does. it quarters race damage along with giving you the absorb property, right?
Deathlike2 REALLY wants you to grind in his hack... in fact I don't think you could even come close to beating Scarmiglione without serious grinding. (I came close to having Tellah hit L28 I grinded so much.)
There are two specific strategies on Mt. Ordeals that if they were tweaked would make the game immediately super frustrating.... fortunately there is SOME room for abuse.
complaints about blink? what are you talking about? i was saying that blink helped. it would be nice not to have to cast after every 2nd hit, but it helps a ton at my levels. i'd love to see a point where he stops attacking... i haven't seen anything like that. it's probably just my levels. i pretty much stopped fighting things once i could kill everything without too much trouble.
i may hack in a power drink just to see if it helps.
i do "get" the strategy behind it. i just can't deal enough damage for some reason. i made sure to turn the speed back to normal from where i usually have it. if it wasn't draining but was still hitting just as hard and fast, this would still be pretty good battle. i'm not suggesting you take it away(because i do like it there), i'm just saying drain really enhances the "vengeance" part of what you just said.
i think a madtoad hit cecil and caused him to float. can it do that? i got into a fight with 4 of them, and after one hit cecil with toad, he hit another which caused it to cast toad on him and change him back, but it also caused "D", which is float. odd...
hmmm...
i didn't get any of those power drink drops, and i never bothered to save, i've just been saving state. ah well, i'll find a way. i see tiny mages drop something useful. there has to be some strategy for beating him...
i saw in the editor that some things drop powerdrinks(i think?). perhaps those are what you're referring to?
i see that it's supposed to cast a slow spell at some point(looks like after tella's messages during battle). is that the "curse spell" effect that happens once it's down to a few tentacles?
i see that octovamp is supposed to be weak to darkness and lightning, but they both barely hurt it. in fact nothing really does. cecil will hit for 100 damage 1 turn, then 1 damage the next. at one point, he hit for 196 and then 3. it seems like the only thing that hurts it consistently is chocobo. i dont seem to be hitting hard enough to out-damage it. maybe i need to level more...
i get that it has high (well, super-high) defense, but even magic doesn't seem to help. tella's lit1 does little damage when he can even use it. he's usually curing. cecil is at lv. 18, rydia is at 14, and tella is at his starting level. am i too low?
