Speaking of patch wishlists, I wish you could just join ANY Labyrinth of Chaos game instead of hoping that someone else is playing the floor that you selected.

Soloing it past level 8 seems like murder, but it's a pain in an ass trying to get connected to a game after that.

Alternatively, the "join random game" should just include Labyrinth games as well as normal games.

Do you guys ever run short on money? I never seem to have enough, though I'm still pretty early in the game (

[DarknessTear]

So, I'm playing infernal difficulty and I haven't really been able to get any good parties going. Anyone who wants to play, add DarknessTear on PSN. I want to do some chain runs already!

Spoiler

Even though I have all 9 talismans on Infernal, I'm not strong enough to beat the Ancient Dragon.

The real Dragon's Crown has yet to start. You'll have plenty of money later in the game.

Is this going to be one of those hard to find games in a couple months? I want to play it but my backlog is at 8 games right now and I don't want to add to it. Looks like a blast to play!

I had to hire at least 2 people to not feel like I would die at any moment (at first).
She gets better, no worries.

 

[OmegaZero]

If you're having money issues, try to focus on appraising treasures ranked B or above. Sell the rest.
Also try to explore as much as possible. Treasure is everywhere.

It won't be hard to find. Why? Because it's available digitally! It's also pretty small in filesize.

 

[RangerBAD]

Yikes. I guess that hacked Elf is staying as bones at the church until a patch can wipe her away.

Well, someone posted that you can do this:

1) Save.
2) Bury that one individually.
3) If you received a hacked item from them when doing so, reload.
4) When you don't receive a hacked item from them, save and proceed as normal.

Probably use the method at your own risk. Since I haven't got any hacked bones (that I know of). I don't have any hacked items either.

The flip side is that she has a lot of options. She gets infinite magic and her backstab is stupid high dps, and that's before you get to her knockback kicks. Of course, your problem will always be running out of arrows on bosses.

Hey guys, I downloaded all of those unlockable artworks and put them into a Flickr gallery (spoilers obv) so they'll be available if they disappear from that other website.

I'm going to work on titling them and mentioning which quest they're associated with as I have time and discover them.

Additionally, I made a zip file if you want to download them all in one go.

Any consensus on what char is the most fun? I typically play as the warrior/fighter archetype but I'm flexible if others feel another class is just more entertaining.

Everyone will have a different answer, but Elf. I tried going to the other characters and the game just slows down to a crawl.

 

[Seil]

So, I haven't seen much discussion about the Elf's Elemental Lore skill and I was basically ignoring its existence up until now. I only have one point in it and often forgot I had it because it just felt odd and almost pointless to use.

I've now learned that it's actually fairly interesting. I was going through the harpy then doom beetle for a couple of quests and decided to mess around with elemental lore just because. I then realized it was changing depending on the attacks the sorceress AI that jumped into my party was using. So I was like "Huh, so that's what causes that." I then began experimenting more. I noticed when I entered a watery area, a new color was spinning around me and gave it a go. Whirlpools.

So when I enter wallace's labyrinth, I decide to try something even crazier. I carried a torch with me and dropped it when battles began. Elemental lore becomes the fireball spell when you're around a torch or fire in general. I then proceeded to go through the whole dungeon and boss fight using almost solely elemental lore while carrying a torch around with me because it was so odd.

I dunno how viable the skill is in the longrun, but it's certainly strange and interesting. Especially if you have spellcasters around since that alters what you're able to use. I'll probably experiment with it further.

Sorry if this is common knowledge and I just overlooked it.

I LOVE elemental lore. If you're on a shore/the very edge of the water it'll do a piercing homing (?) water attack. I can see why other people won't like it though; it's pretty counter-intuitive to how you would normally play the elf.

 

[UpperCaseN]

accidentally went into the final boss solo on my first run. got him down to like 25% health before dying, level 35 Dwarf on normal. Went back in with 3 AI partners, beat him pretty easily. I imagine its like this for everyone, but wow at these spoils!

Dwarf is some of the most fun I've had in a BTU (and I've played a lot of them). That said, I haven't played all the other characters. Though that means little to me because I simply can't go back from Dwarf.

Yeah, her magic adapts to whatever she's around. If you can work with a Wizard or Sorceress, "double team" the magic attacks. It's the one way she can do ice damage, at the very least.

Doing some reading, the one advantage is that it doesn't take anything to use magic. If you are doing chain runs, you will eventually run out of daggers unless you are lucky and get them from chests. Of course, it's fairly weak and you will want to get some INT boosting gear to help you boost its damage (One of the bows you get from Labyrinth of Chaos helps with that, but eventually you won't be able to use it in a long run).

Treasure Hunters Fortune, give u a high level loot chest! Although the H looks like an L....

I once had Rannie trigger a trap from a THF chest.

Yeah it's pretty sweet. But only on the first win I think. The game is basically outfitting you for the next difficulty. Isn't it sweet?

Yeah. What really grinds my gears is how other players can "pull" the screen and drag you along. I hate it. And it's even worse when you realize that George K was involved the Mystara games and STILL let this feature in.

In SoM, someone could enter a secret area cuz they KNEW that brain dead LOLMAGE MCYOLOSTEIN was gonna go the wrong way and screw everyone. Not sure why they didn't make it so everyone has to move in a direction in order to progress...

You can change it. Just head back to the tavern > select character > triangle to edit all the details.

Still not too late to join any of you folks in some online coop I hope? I play in Vita.

I found the fireballs to do fairly decent damage despite only having one point in the skill, especially for free casts. Of course, the enemies were weak to fire... The default whirlwind never really caught my attention.

I'm specced for dagger use but I often don't use it. I either end up overlooking it or deciding it's not worth using up my limited supply at that point and it just ultimately doesn't get used. It's always great when I do use a dagger, though.

Once I'm in the 50s I'll probably play around with my build more and figure out what suits me best.

I've played all of them. I find fighter and dwarf boring. I like Amazon and Sorceress the most. I have a love hate relationship with the Elf.

If you're short on arrows and have the time to stand still, spamming whirlwinds is a nice alternative. One alone is weak but if you can cast 3+ successively it's decent at taking down enemies.

I personally feel like I'm missing out on not using Salamander's Oil/Holdout Dagger/Backstab though. Gotta try them out when I get the chance.

 

[Deified Data]

Man, AI companions are awful at evading environmental traps.

I use Salamander's Oil and Toxic Extract for bosses. Salamander's Oil definitely isn't leaving my build. Toxic Extract will probably remain, as well.

I don't use the dagger often enough to miss it right now, but I'm going to try to get more use out of it. I currently don't plan to invest much of anything in common. Evasion and Deep Pockets are all that really interest me there for the Elf.

I think you should just go with the score if you're leveling. Though i doubt it's anything to do with loot quality. Yesterday i had 5mil5 points in 1 adventure and the loot is pretty meh. Well, i'm trying to reach max level so i dont really care about loot yet, not until i'm lv99 =D.

True, saying they make any attempt at all to evade the traps was seriously overselling their self-preservation instinct.

Anyone have he issue where you click to continue the adventure online and get a black screen with looping sound? This is on Vita BTW.

 

[UpperCaseN]

if you're playing with friends online and after a dungeon run you go back to the Tavern, does it split everyone up so you have to rejoin each others' game when ready for battle again?
