Looking forward to the next update wherein Alice gets her ultimate weapon and carves out a path of death through the 6th Stratum.

But Alice doesn't need weapon to carve death? Since her main ailments (death, petrification) has nothing to do with weapon strength?

Do farmers even have an ultimate weapon?

Technically speaking, yes. The strongest Farmer only weapon is the Bicchuuguwa, a club with 163 attack and 4 empty forges. Though the game certainly doesn't consider it one with that price point of 29,800 en.

Probably because the game believes rightfully so that Farmers are the worst combat class and unless someone farms enough stat books to get them at 99 STR, that club isn't gonna matter much.

Farmers confirmed for Etrian Mystery Dungeon 2?? :confuoot:

(Also rest assured that I am not done with this thread yet.)

Who is the fancy cover person??

What class is that? The one with the orange blade. Is it some EO3 class that I can't seem to recognise?

Ohh.

I shall put fancy person and farmer in my team.

Maybe she got lucky?

Or maybe her armor has resistance, which obviously matters way more.

Or it could be number variation.

Like maybe the dragonfly made a weak hit on her, and a strong hit on Sydney.

The ping pong situation is awful.

So glad the later games did away with that stuff. And the orange fluff ball.

For a game that prioritises picking your battles, it sure made running away from those battles hard.

I bought this game years ago when I needed a time waster and somehow managed to muddle my way to the fourth stratum. I booted up my copy to see what party I was running with and apparently I had Pirate/Monk, Prince/Ninja, Gladiator/Farmer, Ninja/Zodiac, and Arbalist/Princess

What exactly did your gladiator farm kid do anyway?

Exploration specialist? Camp mastery? Or was it because your gladiator grew up on a farm?

SIX TURNS ARE YOU making GBS threads ME

Now that I think of it, the Blizzard King was the easiest one for me to deal with in EO2U as well, but I've never come close to a single-digit boss fight in any EO game. I just don't get how you and Ragnar do it sometimes.

You do it using the strategy of MAXIMUM OFFENSIVE POWER.

Actually it's just you know, stacking enough buffs, debuffs, passives and then using the good skills.

It's much easier in EO2U, which favours offense.

And as the lp showed us: skills good for exploring =/= skills good for boss fights

Well I'm done with this Let's Play. I had an update ready to go, then my router broke so I couldn't post it. When I found a work-around, I got hit by a power outage. This caused me to lose the entire update (Despite the fact that I ended up saving it when it was done.)

I have no idea when I'm touching this thread again (if ever), as I want nothing to do with it for a good long while.

I'm pretty sure I've read this line somewhere in this LP before, but whatever.

It's okay.

Maybe you'll feel up to after playing English version of EO5 or doing some other stuff.

Don't worry too much about it. Power outages are evil.

I thought these dragon fights were supposed to be difficult. Did a single one even take more than 10 turns? This dragon god better be a real kick in the balls or I'm gonna have to pick up my EO3 save again and suffer because my team is horribly optimized and I can't make things look as easy as you make it look.

It is. I'll let Fetus explain, but I think it was head bind or die.

Of course I tend to use my favourite classes only, so they might not be optimal. But if I can cheese, I usually will.

On a side note; I'd personally love it if Faye and the rest of the team spent all this time planning how to take down that abomination and then Smith shows up and is all like, "Oh that? Yeah, me a a couple of buddies already took care of it. Who wants milk?"

Is it also possible that he just built tons of Confusion AR and then she's stuck just spamming that?

It's not the AR, but more 'why is the AI spamming this skill over and over?'

The AR should have anything to do with the AI, it only effects if you were hit by confusion and prevent order does the same thing (protecting you).
