Was there some reason to not immediately use the fuckoff black hole attack on every enemy you encounter in chapter 13? Aside from the little imps, and the spider thing that appeared to be immune to it.

Really I think the chapter could be entirely fixed if they didn't turn off the sprint button, and didn't even try to tell you that it's a "stealth" section.

It uses all of your MP. Easier to just dodge-Holy everything to death.

Yes, correct. You need level 10 to see them on the minimap. Under that, you're looking for large masses in the water after casting.

I liked it. You get a new toy and the atmosphere is different than most of the game. Can also take breaks at reasonable intervals.

Was it too long? I think so, but at worst I was a little annoyed for a few minutes. When I think of lovely experiences in videogames this year, it's for things like the PC port of Arkham Knight.

Edit - This isn't to invalidate others' experiences; they didn't like it, that's their call.

About to head into Menace Costlemark, any tips? I've got Ignis rocking The Grand Chamberlain, a bunch of healcast magic and a few limit break spells, every one has full glass cannon builds because I'll be chomping Adamantoise steak the first chance I get which will give everyone 9,999 health and +600 attack anyway. Should I go with the Golden Tail Soup instead for auto crits or does the +600 ATK outweigh that?

Does limit break on link strikes count the command ones or just the ones that happen on their own?

Looked back a couple pages and didn't see this: I got the game a couple days back and was doing fine on hunting quests at first. But any hunting quest with a recommended level of 11 or greater has been literally impossible. As in I use all my healing items and I've only got 30% damage on one of the monsters. I'm level 15 and I've been boosting stuff in Ascension. Do I have to wait for some plot point to happen, or am I supposed to be this weak at level 15? Regular random encounters and the 2-3 boss battles I've seen were just fine.

So I don't get this magic cooldown or something. I just beat Deadeye but did it with regular fighting because the game refused to let me cast a spell.

I missed my first cast which was the last of that flask. So I equipped another one and even after the cooldown was done I just couldn't throw a spell at him.

I guess I'm lucky that the barrels were apparently pointless because he was a fairly simple fight.

What in the hell was I doing wrong?

Whooo! I beat the Costlemark murderdungeon! It was actually much easier than I anticipated, I didn't even use any of my healcasts in the end.
Pretty sure I'm 100% complete now in terms of main and side quests minus the little 'give me a potion/repair kit' things which im sure there are more of somewhere.

According to the few videos I've seen about maximizing damage, the Golden Tail soup is actually better, but the sheer huge attack buff the Adamantoise steak gives you makes them both more or less equal.

Yeah after spending time with both they are pretty much equal but for some reason Golden Tail is a little better which is odd because the steak is more annoying to get ingredients for.
