Well at first I thought she was bullshit but it was because I missed the ring mail. Also there is a roo kinda hidden nearby that will give you a second emerald which helps your damage output with whirlwind. I was either level 13 or 14. I definitely ran around and ground up a level after my horrible first and second attempt. Then on the third try it seemed pretty easy. She's prone for a very long time after she uses the flame thrust move. Good luck gamer friend.

Also notable, I didn't realize you could use the "smash" attack where you flip the analog stick and spin, during the whirlwind animation until this fight.

Seriously though, after beating all the XSEED-published Ys games on nightmare, what should I go do now? I need more Ys, and I do not want to wait on Ys VIII.

On nightmare with all 3? Yeah.


Doing Nightmare Boss Rush on the games wasn't worth it at the end of the day, except for Felghana, where if you do beat it, you get a hidden boss, and if you beat him, you unlock debug mode

They just recently put Celceta on the whitelist, so you should be good to go. Seven was psp anyway so no worries there.

The system itself has 1 GB of internal memory. If you're going purely physical games, then you're fine. However, if you want an expansive PSP library, as well as some digital games, then you're going to have to pay up for a memory card.

I'm playing Celceta on hard right now and I'm stuck at the fish boss and I think I'm really underleveled. My only option are to endlessly retry or to load my save game from 4+ hours ago :negative:

My biggest advice on handling him, as well as later bosses, is to get used to using the touch screen to change your partners' AI patterns. Swiping inwards switches them to a defensive mode, where they follow you around actively and don't attack. Swiping outwards switches them back to an offensive mode, where they attack whatever is in front of them relentlessly, and use skills generally whenever you do.

As well, remember that you cannot take an AI out of the defensive stance when they're at 1 HP.

I found the writing kind of cloying and it took too long to tutorialize at me and get to the battles. But I should probably try it again at some point.

i don't know what cloying means but it does suffer from an overlong intro.. worth getting to the good stuff though

That harpy boss on the mountain was awesome. The best part about replaying this game after so long is that I forgot almost every boss. I have no idea what the bosses are in the castle aside from chester but I do remember that there are like 4 of them.
