Jesus does the third dungeon have just no safe rooms? I got fairly into the counterfeiting room and got killed by bad luck only to find my last save was way back in the first safe room....

Nope! There are only 2 safe rooms in the third palace (plus the entrance).

There's a few points where you open a path to go back to the entrance or that first save room.

I really feel like that palace was made really early on because it's one of the things we saw in the older promotional stuff

yea, found those but I kept going 'I'm sure there's a room coming up though, I'll save there instead', so yea that's on me! Still, unpleasent surprise! I had beaten an Oni into surrendering and everything :bahgawd:

Okay, I'm confused. Dd Kamoshida break Ryuujis leg and claim it was self defense because Ryuuji took a swing at him or not? I am certain he mentioned that Kamoshida broke his leg, but whenever he talks about what Kamoshida did to him he never once talks about that, so it feels like he's burying the lede there.

I still can't tell if the fifth palace was just absurdly long, or if it felt longer because the party insist on saying that the treasure must be close in every single area.

He either actually broke Ryuji's leg or forced Ryuji to run so intensely in such a way that he wound up breaking his leg and I think it's the latter but I can't remember

Yeah Kamoshida implies thats what happened. Ryuji doesn't talk about it much though because most of the times it comes up he's blaming himself for losing his cool, breaking up the team and causing problems for his mum.

Kamoshida poo poo talked Ryuji's mom and Ryuji swung on him, Kamoshida broke his leg and claimed self defense. Ryuji focuses on other elements because his whole arc is based around the fact that he feels a lot of shame and regret for letting Kamoshida get under his skin so easily and pretty much playing into his hand perfectly. Kamoshida brings it up to taunt him because he's a huge prick like that, but Ryuji views the incident as a personal failing he should have been stronger than.

I somehow forgot Archangel was a thing and replaced him with Belphegor. Actually, probably would've been funnier if it was that way.

How many locked chests are in the third Palace? I've got two Lockpicks, so I figure it might be worth it to spend a night making some more, since I'm planning on waiting until I hit Rank 2 with Emperor and Priestess before I run dungeon.

Theres always one more locked chest than I have lock pics, every time. Just resign yourself to the fate of having to grab a chest during the 99% Alert Heist

There should be three. IIRC one of them might be worth missing if you can't make more lockpicks.

If a character has a charge skill like literal Charge, or Concentrate, it will be their best skill for bosses. Never undervalue buffs and debuffs.

it's easy to undervalue haru's gun skills and her reflectors but they're both seriously good. besides that, what's obviously good is usually what you want, nobody has that complicated a skill tree.

there's actually three but the second one is functionally where the third is (you have to turn around on the same floor as the midboss for half a second, and he blocks your way iirc). but if you proceed after the midboss, there's one right there. sooooooooo there's literally no point to the second one.

I absolutely agree w/ this, friend and I were just talking today about how it seems like the confidantes are thematically linked by their outsider status and it's the first game in the series where the combat mechanics actually seem to suit the game's theme (like when you're playing well, the bonus turn system gives combat a stylish, musical flow the way playing Bayonetta or something well has, which suits the smooth criminal vibe)

Morgana really only complains about sleeping during the time between one palace's deadline and the start of the next one's proper mission, I noticed. That made July in particular a pretty awful month, though, of nothing but cutscenes, short one-beat days and then "Let's not do that today" over and over and over and augh. It's always kind of annoying and bad but it felt like it was almost all of July which is a bit much.
