Washington, USAHeyo. Been routing this out the past couple weeks, but now have to completely restart the process because they have patched out the item duplication glitch.
Anyway, just letting people know that the item dupe glitch is gone, and we'll probably need to have new categories to differentiate between runs that have it, and those that don't.
Title. Is there a reason there's no True End / Calasmos category? Is it just due to lack of runs, or lack of interest?
I'm coming for this one, too. This new route only trains up skills to +9 once (for Floral Gust, Mamudoon, Bufudyne, and Fire Breath), and does not bother with Susano-o or Odin (just runs MaZiodyne, which, while it is slower, saves 20 minutes of fusing/grinding in Cosmic Egg, more than off-setting the time loss to the two-three bosses that it's relevant against).
After this failed attempt today (mostly my own fault due to trying out untested strats and ending up with Dekaja/Dekunda/Magaon on one demon, oops), I'm confident that it should be at least 15 minutes faster than the old record. More to come soon (TM)!
Howdy. I've been thinking about running this game, but I can't seem to find any notes out there on this. Does anyone have any links to notes, or are people keeping them close to the chest?
I think that War Cry and Healing Knowhow are extremely powerful, cutting out any sort of need for Rakukaja, and freeing up turns for MC to attack instead of waste healing or MP-restoring items.
The question is, how to get them?
The answer is easy. Pele has Healing Knowhow, so you can fuse an extra Pele shortly before the Balor fight, then fuse her into a Thoth with Fortuna. Healing Knowhow works for Attack and Magic Mirror, too, so you can ALSO get away with having only one demon with Tetrakarn/Makarakarn.
Now, War Cry is a little more of a hassle, but still pretty easy to get. Hairy Jack (31) gets it for free. With Hairy Jack, you can use some fancy fusions to get Take-Minakata(sp?), which you can fuse into Dantalian, and later use Take-Minakata for some other useful fusions, giving you access to War Cry on at least two of your demons! Tarunda + Rakunda in one spell? Sign me up! (Full disclosure: In order to create a Hairy Jack, you do require two more demons. One is Fuxi, from the beginning dungeon, and the other is Caladrius, which you can pick up in Shinjuku as you leave to the Tower with the Angels)
Anyway, I firmly believe that War Cry and Healing Knowhow speed up quite a few fights, specifically the final few, where you never have to use healing items with the MC on Merkabah (Lucifer is is risk/reward thing, whether or not you want to gamble with your demons not recovering from confusion).
Thoughts? Or is this board dead?
So is there going to be a new category for the new Steam release? If so, what are the rules going to be?
Cutscenes are skippable by pressing confirm, and the battle camera panning can be removed in the configuration settings. Not to mention all of the silly boosters, but those seem too broken for an actual speedrun.
So, what's the verdict? PC%?
