stronger monsters kicks rear end aside from three bosses that are overtuned nd the quadraslash fight which is actually broken

yeah there's a few fringe fights like that where it makes it very clear that stronger monsters just wasn't really playtested at all lol

its a shame the game never saw a single update or dlc or anything. one of the things i was most excited about was the modern possibility of more stuff being added

the psycho in me wants to learn the pc modding tools and make the bob edition of dqxi for my imps.

once erik gets his 2nd tier ground spell he is critical. i just realized on this playthrough that its bleed and super useful for bosses, i never used this any other run and the autobattle AI will absolutely never use any of eriks spells no matter what lol

Erik ftw, his status effect exploiting knife skills are great for rushing bosses down in the early game and once he gets his skill that triples his next attack and unlocks some of the later boomerang skills he's great for both clearing out giant groups of enemies and destroying bosses. it took me a while during my own harder monsters run to remember that I could swap weapons during battle so I probably spent too long not realizing how versatile some of the characters can be

I got Erik to do like, 4500 damage in a single turn against the final boss with the knife skills. He's ftw.

Act I stronger monsters done. now for my second favorite part of the game, followed by the part they made just for me

quick resume jacked up my save time and i have like 300 hours in this file lol

rab fight in a2 is really rough on stronger monsters. i can see why a lot of ppl struggle

some tips: since you have to hit rab a flat 7 times and atk doesnt matter, go sword and shield and stack a lot of DEF

dont kill rabs shadows. they are weak to sleep and kasnooze will put em out. if rab is about to nuke, use moreheal or pop defend to reduce the dmg to under 100. this is a fight you might wanna pop a fullheal item on too

wristorative in cobblestone helps a ton and saved me from eating dirt a couple times. upgrade w multibash spam (you will run out of stamina any other way). semper games.
