That protection helps a lot. If she's been hunting with you the whole time, she'll feel the pain when she goes solo without that Protection spell.
Any time you're in the air, so it's a great damage boost.
I always bring Protection, Create Food, Blizzard and Rock Crusher. I try to use everything (except Create Food) pretty sparingly on regular enemies unless there's a huge spawn after a chest or during a boss fight. Blizzard is great to help you focus down a boss in its final stages when you're being overtaken by its summons. Keep Protection up as often as needed so the melee class don't get tossed around.
I kind of want to use Curse at some point because I like frogs.
Yeah, sucks that there's no way to change your PSN name (dammit Sony lemme give you money!) and I had a PSP way before I knew GAF existed
Anyways, ready whenever you are bro!Really? Im clearing out everything. With timely charges i honestly seem to be killing an exponential amount of enemies incredibly easily. Nothing really hits me cause i just teleport..and i usually get the most points in most games resulting in me getting extra lives moreso than other classes.

Yea, that would be a cool feature. Unknowns ton of peeps that'd use it. Game is up and running! Just choose the play with friends option, hopefully you'll join right up. I haven't yet done a friends match yet, so it's learning for both of us.Yeah, sucks that there's no way to change your PSN name (dammit Sony lemme give you money!) and I had a PSP way before I knew GAF existed

the thing is you get new equipment so often that by the time you get a good S rank weapon, a dungeon or two later you're already replacing it. Still shocks me when a B or even C rank piece replaces an S
Did some sidequests tonight, the thing is with no voice chat, online players don't know (or care) that I'm going for them. Got 2/3 on the genie lamp before someone finished the boss, dang it! I quit and selected the Cove from the stables immediately after

Did a six dungeon chain on Hard online, this game is a ton of fun. Leveled up seven times and got tons of good equipment.

i think the main issue with him and his g/f playing is that once they want to play together on hard/infernal mode they essentially have to play the twice for each character to get the proper story unlocks and what not this is something that needs to be address by vanillaware.

I honestly feel like once things get chaotic the screen is too small unless you are playing with it close to you
torndado, slow, frireward or something or othrer.

The screen size is the only immediate issue that I can think of. It is not the most ideal for the amount of detail and chaos that happens in-game, but its playable if you hold the vita really close. I have read some people that it possibly has more framerate problems than the PS3 version but i'm not sure. I've done most play on the PS3 version.
That being said, a lot of things are much easier on the Vita version. You can just tap the screen to open chests, unlock doors, and find items instead of awkwardly guiding the pointer around. If you play ad hoc with bros, I assume you don't have to take turns fixing your equipment, accepting quests, applying skills, etc.
It's awesome, ignore the haters. I've done 90% of my time on the Vita, and 10% on the PS3. The Vita version is GREAT, and awesome for solo'ing/learning the game. Multiplayer on it works great too. You won't be disappointed.
Also, big plus to Vita: You can PAUSE at any time by suspending or hitting the PS Vita button. You cannot pause in the PS3 version, which sucks. :\ Hence why Vita version kicks ass... makes the game totally pick up and play.
No sorry.the wizard..
to be completely fair..i recharge way too fast
it just feels im killing too many things on screen
I have, when I got a hacked item in my inventory after burying some bones.
Which reminds me, I figured out a way to safely get rid of a hacked player's bones without risking a crash (since most of you probably have no idea what I'm talking about, see this post: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=75866003&postcount=4409).
Obviously you should save before attempting this, and NEVER save if you have a hacked item already in your inventory. Basically, you can change the equipped bag of the bones before you bury them. This means that if you were guaranteed a drop of a hacked item, changing the bag means a completely separate chance of even getting an item, and a separate set of items to have a chance of dropping. So if you had a set of bones that dropped a hacked item after every file reload, you can change to a bag that has no hacked items. If for some reason every single bag has hacked items, just switch to any other bag, and chances are you won't get a drop at all.
If you happen to get a hacked item drop, DO NOT access your inventory, just quit out of the game and reload your file immediately.
Obviously they still need to patch this somehow to get rid of this problem altogether. And if you happen to save with a hacked item in your inventory you are probably screwed at the moment. But at least there is something of a fix for my specific situation. If anyone else runs into this issue, at least there is an option to resolve it.

Out of all the time it's going to take to get to the end of Infernal Mode, the handful of extra runs through areas to "catch up" the other character is going to be miniscule. You can't just run through each area once and expect to be at the recommended level for each of the bosses beyond normal mode (you can still beat them though even if at a net-loss of gold). The core gameplay of this game is running the areas repeatedly for loot and XP. I've been doing it for 40 hours and my Amazon is level 57 (and I did spend 2-3 hours running quests level capped @ 35 in Normal b/c the game told me I could continue to earn XP...what they didn't mention was I had to beat the final boss first to do so...). What're a few extra catch up runs really among all that?
Also, even online only the "hosting" character that kills the Ancient Dragon gets story credit. Instead of saying, "aww man, now I have to kill him 1 time for each of my friends," I think, "Sweet, it only used up the hosting player's runes so I get to kill him a bunch of extra times with my friends and get guaranteed S-rank loot!"
Obviously, different strokes for different folks, but if you're enjoying the core gameplay, and you're going to be playing dozens and dozens of hours to get through it all to the end of Inferno anyway, why are a couple extra runs here or there such a deal breaker? Just because of the principle that they should've implemented it better (which I do agree they should have done)?
I have it on both, and while I prefer to play on the PS3 for the bigger screen, I've played quite a bit on Vita and it's perfectly fine. The screen pointing controls are better on Vita - you just touch. Personally, I'd say get both for the best of both worlds - play at home on the big screen, and Vita on the go or when you're too lazy to get out of bed! You really can't go wrong with either though IMO.

Is this the whole Amazon is male thing? You should re-read that ending to make sure you fully understand it. lol

The whole hacked character's bones thing is really depressing. I ended up w/ TESSA and the game kept giving me a ring when I buried her. Fortunately, I ended up being able to sell that ring w/o crashing, but the sheer fact that people would hack their characters and it would have the possibility to fuck up someone else's game is absolutely terrible. I really hope Vanillaware can patch it. There's already been a patch for Japan addressing a few issues, but I don't know if this was among them. It wasn't in their patch notes that I saw translated.

lol, Tessa must get around because I got her as well. Haven't had any problems though.
As for the Amazon, yes she

There's a quest for doing it without the golem.
Dropping bombs on it isn't actually that bad.

There's a quest that requires you to beat it w/o using the golem/activating runes. Using bombs that the goblins drop deals a lot of damage to the golem boss btw.
edit - I'm always beaten
I just went crazy nuts with amazon, didn't take long really. Spin to win.

The attention to detail in this game is unbelievable. Like in the cave areas how drops of water are falling into a puddle of barrel. Awesome, awesome stuff!
You can tell VanillaWare had so much passion and love in making this game. Made by only 12 people, crazy!

Teach me to Elf. She's too squishy and lacks damage. What skills should I prioritize? Should I bother using my kick combo?
"Voilaaaaaaa"
"Filthy lukka!"
Also I can only picture the thief as George Takei every time he says "Oooh My"
and Rival thief is totally Jean Reno.
You need to beat it without the knights. When they appear it means you ran out of time.
Similar events will happen for every B route boss if you take too long.

Time-based. You must defeat B-route bosses under a certain amount of time in order to gain the talisman. After the time limit, the control over the battle will be taken from you.
Giolon

Most (all?) of the B-path bosses have a time limit for beating them to get the talisman. Some have a hard failure state and some have a fail, but you still "won" ending and still get no talisman.
All talismans are obtained when beating the B route bosses. All bosses however do have certain time limits. You have a set amount of time before the game itself intervenes and kills the boss or the boss gets away.

Awesome explanation, thanks! The more you know. I googled "lucre" and got the general gist of it, but your explanation is perfect. It fits Rainie like a glove, so half-sardonic.
And yeah, perhaps my initial wording was confusing, it's me who is Spanish. Not helped by the fact that, indeed, the word comes from latin (which Spanish is derived from); we have similar words, including "lucro", which pretty much means "profit" (often used in "sin ánimo de lucro", which just means "non-profit"). ,
Should I take that as a sign that my written English is good enough to pass for a native now?
(if only my spoken English was nearly on that level...). Also, damn, I hope your ban is a short one.
Yeah, ever since I "got" it, it's just so awesome and in-character.
I was juggling several threads and at first I though this was an actual, original, unrelated game, and my first instinct was "I need this game". It's still awesome, and I'd buy that version in a heartbeat. I'm a sucker for pixel art.
I'm still in the middle of Normal, but I killed all the female vampires with ease, using a lightning wand, with square x5, then up + circle. The square hits refill almost all of the mana you use with up + circle, and the entire thing stunlocks them in a combo. it's also pretty useful for other enemies. I think the magic users are intended to be most effective up close, unintuitively enough, by mixing square and circle attacks. It's much faster than holding square.
OK, this is awesome. This needs to be added to the OP as soon as possible. Thanks a lot for the tip! Now I won't be paranoid to pick up bones online.
I'd also want to add that the "upload to server" function might also work as a safer backup in case something goes horribly wrong. I'm assuming this function is available to everyone, not justPS+ subscribers (I got myself a 3-month subscription recently) since it's the only way to get your save data from PS3 to Vita, right?
