bear is driving! posted:What determines what kind of armor you can wear? I'd like to play a Mystic Knight but I don't want to be stuck in robes. I'm envisioning myself as Sauron, all plated up with a mace blasting fools with magic. It's determined by class but Mystic Knights do indeed wear heavy armor, not robes.

Some of the pawn dialogue is hilariously stupid *Gryphon catches on fire and crashes to the ground, screaming in pain* "Are we even hurting it!?!?" Is there anywhere where you can straight up make new equipment rather than just the combining and enhancing? I noticed there was a blacksmith but he seems more interested in saving his dieing son than making me cool swords.

Does anyone know where to find a better Magic Archer bow? I seem to be doing significantly less damage as a magic archer than I was as a ranger ten levels lower. I've actually since found a longbow upgrade so I'd imagine the disparity would be even bigger now.

drat, finally found an upgrade magic bow in a chest in Bluemoon Tower, then I died and when I got back the chest had a salubrious brew  Is this kind of like FFXII where each chest has a list of items it can drop?

Are there a lot of post-game only monsters? I've explored the entire world, done every quest I could find and have a quest called "The Final Battle" and going by some monster list I checked I've only seen like 2/3s of the games enemies.

If you're not planning on using it in the field then put it in the stash. You can enhance items using materials from your stash, they don't need to be in your inventory. I recommend carrying a few skeleton keys (shackles + various ores) around with you because if you don't you'll inevitably end up wishing you had.

Does anyone know how much tougher the NG+ enemies are? They seem to give about 1.5 times the experience.Sylphosaurus posted:So, I'm currently running around as a Strider and I could use some help in what to focus on since I feel awfully weak. I just killed the Hydra and it feels like I'm just doing slivers of damage against bandits unless I'm buffed with an elemental weapon spell. You're just weak as poo poo at the beginning of the game as a strider. Getting headshots, even against stuff like wolves and goblins is important. You should always have appropriate elemental buffs while fighting. That said striders (or any bow/dagger class really) are in my opinion the best classes for fighting giant monsters.

Evil Canadian posted:Hrm, well I suppose maybe when you hit that point of the game again in NG+ the enemies are like superior grim goblins then? Yeah, I'd imagine the grimgoblins get the boost too. My main reason for enemies are tougher is that they gives about 1.5x as much exp as I'm used to (yes I'm still using a full group of pawns). I switched classes and weapons from Mystic Knight to bow-centric assassin so it's hard to compare combat-wise. Killgore Trout posted:For anyone else that has finished (spoilered just in case): Did you find the last leg of the game absolutely gruelling? The game had it's difficulty spikes up to that point, for me. I figure I was a bit underprepared, maybe only level 49 or 50, but drat. I wasn't expecting it to be that harsh. Honestly, no, not at all. Although admittedly a large part of what made the postgame dungeon so easy was the ridiculous amount of wakestones they throw at you. There's not a lot of tension to the fights when you have a dozen extra lives in your inventory.

Has anyone been able to do even noticeable damage to the Ur-Dragon? I know he's a cumulative online thing, but I fought him once, then tried again and the second time he had regained like half an hp bar. I'm wondering if I did so bad the first time he healed or something.

VulgarandStupid posted:If I had to guess, they don't show his actual full health. They probably just show like 5000 health out of 1 million health, or some other arbitrary numbers. Well if that's the case then I was doing literally no damage to him since I didn't see his health bar move at all during the actual fights.

My drat pawns keep knocking cyclopses over before I can get them to take their helmet off. If I can scarlet kiss it's face it will die in like ten seconds but otherwise my entire party has to beat on it for like a minute while it lies on the ground. Some minor Ur-Dragon spoilers. For the third generation dragon I fought it twice and got like 50k gold and some ambrosial meat as a reward when it died  This time I actually managed to make one of its health bars roll over and destroyed one of its weak points (right front paw) so I'm hoping for something better. I think you're only actually damaging it if purple blood comes out when you hit it rather than grey.Giggily posted:Breaking out of holds is nearly impossible in this game. I think I've done it once, and that's with years of Mario Party under my belt. It's really hard to break out of Cyclops holds but pretty much every other hold is easier.

You keep all of your items, experience/discipline, vocation points gold and rift crystals. I think you also keep all of your affinity. I've noticed that when I talk to NPCs like Quina and Selene they glow pink slightly and a chime plays so I guess that's affinity. It basically just resets the world and adds a portal to the Ur-Dragon on the hidden beach in Cassardis.

Policenaut posted:The deal is that the Dragon takes whoever you have the highest affinity for in the game. So if you haven't done certain quests, then you might get someone really weird during the bargain. Like I got the Duchess but I've read some people get like the blacksmith or Mason. It's weird. I think I'm going to go for the Jester on my NG+ playthrough so I can see what happens if you Take the wyrm's bargain without feeling bad.

There's a quest you can get from one of the boards to fight the hydra after you fight the dragon. I'm pretty sure there's also one in the postgame dungeon. It's a pretty awesome fight, by the way.

Just slew the Ur-Dragon: some fairly major spoilers about killing him and the reward: Once he got down to really low hp the next time I started the fight he was at 0 hp and all of his weak points were glowing. You have to destroy every single weak point before he flies off, but they only take a few hits each and destroying one makes him fall over so it's not that hard. For my reward I got 150k exp, a cool mask, abyssinal chest/arm/leg armor, a 2 hand mace, a 1 hand mace, a great shield, an archistaff and 20 goddamn wakestones. Also everything I was wearing was dragonforged, natch Exactly what point of the story does the "angry mob trying to burn the witch" quest appear? I don't want to miss it this time. quote:Post game question: is there any way to open all those locked doors in the everfall? I doubt it, I think they're just there so they could mix up the chamber layouts with making a new dungeons each time.

Policenaut posted:Oh god drat it, I've been trying to get that near-zero HP entry all loving day I think the mask might be a semi-random item as it's not part of the abyssal set. Friend me (my psn id is on the list) and rent my pawn Valodya because he's wearing the armor, the mask and the warrior weapon. I've never bothered figuring out how to transfer screenshots from my ps3 to computer. The armor is cool but a bit subdued. The 2h mace is cool and not at all subdued. The mask is one of the few helmets I've found that doesn't obscure your hair so it's a winner in my book. It looks like a gold phantom of the opera mask. My party comp was Me: sword/bow assassin, Valodya: fighter, and a random mage with heals and holy buffs and a ranger. You pretty much need a mage, but I think melee fighters and especially climbers are your best bets for damage since bows/mages tend to die constantly and reviving them is the most dangerous part of fighting him.

I stuck it right outside the encampment because I hate going back and forth through the mountain pass a million times.Dan Didio posted:So how the gently caress do I catch this thief in the starting town? I hit him, try to grab him, he just shrugs it off and keeps running, I try to chase him, he runs out of town and I fail the quest, I try to just grab him straight up, he shrugs it off and runs out of town. Switch to strider/ranger and knock him over with full bend/dire arrow then run up and grab him before he gets up. That's how I did it.

On The Conspirators quest where do I actually find the guy.

There.Jimbot posted:Can anyone give me the locations of some wyverns? I know there's one by the Shadow Fort but that's all I've stumbled across. I want to dragon forge all my equipment but there's nary a dragon to be found! The thing you're thinking of is a Drake, the only time I've seen a wyvern is after You kill the dragon and everything goes to hell. I found it on my way back to Gran Soren from Cassardis Drakes can potentially dragonforge your gear though. Lotish posted:You can do that? One of the chimeras I killed recently died before I finished killing the goat head. I thought the lion, being the body, was always the last one to die and took the rest with him. The goat will still cast and the snake will still breath poison but the body just sort of runs around like a lion with it's head cut off and doesn't attack.

Finally found the metal golem, the fight was actually really cool. I didn't think they'd be able to change up the golem concept very much, but they did. The one downside is that I think a non-magic archer might actually be required to win. My hired ranger pawn was enough. Here's how to find it since it's convoluted as hell and I completely missed it on my first playthrough. You have to do the witchhunt quest, which means you also have to do the find Quina in the witchwood quest I believe. Once you've done that leave, come back and destroy all 7 of the fog totems in the witchwood. There are 3 in the first area and 4 in the hidden area. Then find the big yellowish golem in the marsh in the hidden area and it should wake up. If anyone's found a metal golem somewhere else I'd like to hear it. Also, I think I found a way to pick with assurance who your love interest will be. It's a quest, here's how you start it: Go to the secret area of the witchwood. Again you need to have done the witchhunt quest, it's a real bitch that you can completely miss that huh? Anyway, the quest starts when you pick up a stone tablet in front of the witch's grave Jimbot posted:Yeah, I meant Drakes. I'm not sure why I typed wyverns. Are there more than one Drake in the world that I haven't found yet? Keep in mind I'm still doing jobs for the jobs from Aldous, on his second set now. Drakes appear in other places in the postgame but the devilfire grove drake is the only one I've seen before that.

Samurai Sanders posted:Is the gouge ability worth it? I have it but haven't equipped it yet because I don't want to fill a slot with an ability that only works against giant enemies. I'd say yes. Much like hundred kisses it does way more damage then spamming light attack. ZeusCannon posted:Isnt this lost and found quest one that disappears? Yeah, just run straight past all of the bandits. Once you actually make it to the witchwood it's fairly trivial. And you definitely want to do it because it's required for a good bit of other content that I mentioned in an earlier post.

tooooooo bad posted:No idea! They absolutely do disappear and in some cases completing them seems to result in future quests? I pretty much did them as I found them. Just finished another one at level 39. They're quite easy now. I'm pretty sure the escort quests that appear on work boards and are described as "A chance to raise affinity" are basically the game's equivalent of romantic strolls and have no impact on the story other than raising your affinity. Stuff like escorting the witness to the inquest is obviously a different story.

I hope they eventually come out with DLC that adds new areas and/or monsters. I had some money sitting in my psn account so I got the 10 quests dlc for 99 cents and it basically just added 10 assassin's creed flags that give you 800 rift crystals when you pick them up. If all the 100 quests worth of dlc is going to be that then all the gnashing of teeth over the on-disc dlc is going to sound pretty silly. On a related note, who the hell is going to buy rift crystals at 2000 for $1 (or at all). Going by that exchange rate my pawn made $70 last night with 0 effort on my part. Too bad I can't sell them back to Capcom.

If anyone is trying to do the "Duchess in Distress" quest (the one that takes you into the blighted manse) it's apparently only doable after you accept the quest to go to the Greatwall but before you complete that quest  Once you do the Greatwall quest you can accept it but you immediately fail it. You still keep the item that lets you into the manse at least. Who knows what other quests are only available in that timeframe.
